Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 554: Violent Rat, Heaven-Devouring Ant

Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Violent Rat, Heaven-Devouring Ant

Amidst the remnants of sword light, the Bloodthirsty Venerable kept getting hurt, feeling a significant energy drain from his body, unable to support recovery from his injuries.

If this continues, he would truly die—a death from which he couldn’t be resurrected!

"Demon Slayer, I was wrong, spare me. As long as you’re willing to let me go, I’ll serve you faithfully, I’m at the half-step divine realm."

Upon hearing this, the assault halted, the blood moon once again hung upon the sky, revealing the miserable state of the Bloodthirsty Venerable.

He was left with no limbs, the spikes on his waist had been chopped off, blood flowed everywhere, and he lay on the ground with a pained and grimaced expression. The energy within him was nearly depleted, most of it absorbed by the Demon God Sword.

Tragic, unbearable to see, he was already powerless to fight again.

"Divine realm? You call that realm the divine realm?" Chen Lan spoke indifferently, indeed there are even higher realms.

"The divine realm, a level above the Daoist Venerable, entering the divine path, to become the first of this path, one must open the Taoist gate, walk the divine road of the great path, challenge ancestors who once entered this great path, and with just one successful challenge, they can enter the divine realm. Dao origin increases, strength greatly enhances," the Bloodthirsty Venerable quickly explained.

He could tell Chen Lan was very interested in this divine realm; if he answered sincerely, he might stay alive.

As long as he could live, revenge wasn’t too late!

He wasn’t worried about his soul being controlled by Chen Lan. The Evil Race had their means: if controlled, they would self-destruct their soul and then resurrect, erasing all prohibitions and controls.

"What about this half-step status?" Chen Lan inquired; he wasn’t even a half-step into the divine realm yet.

"Opening gate of Tao, stepping into the threshold already marks a half-step into the divine realm. To open the gate, one needs to communicate with the ultimate path sincerely, naturally leading to the opening. Meeting those ancestors already counts as being a half-step into the divine realm."

"If this particular path has no deity, do you not need to challenge?" Chen Lan asked.

If a challenge is needed but if this path has no predecessors... being the first, what then?

"Regarding such a situation, I don’t know, likely self-deification into the divine realm; entering the gate signifies divinity, but among the three thousand great paths, each has been tread on countless years. This idea is redundant," the Bloodthirsty Venerable answered honestly.

He dared not hide or gloss over things.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan seemed to ponder deeply, suddenly raising his sword to bring it down, a slash across the Bloodthirsty Venerable’s head!

"You!" Even as his head was cleaved, the Bloodthirsty Venerable could still speak, staring at Chen Lan in shock, "You broke your word!"

"Heh, I never claimed to be a gentleman." Chen Lan smirked coldly, grabbed the Bloodthirsty Venerable’s head, and began Soul Search.

After a while, all memories entered his mind and the Bloodthirsty Venerable lost all value.

He pierced the sword in, absorbing all remaining energy, and the Bloodthirsty Venerable fell silent, slowly dissipating into a wisp of grey smoke.

Though the half-step divine realm was quite powerful, suitable for servitude, it was just that.

Now understanding the divine realm, Chen Lan would return to inform others, allowing everyone to break through, thereby increasing their overall strength.

The storage ring left behind by the Bloodthirsty Venerable lay on the ground; Chen Lan picked it up and dispelled the Illusory Dream.

Upon exiting, he heard two voices.

"You’re still alive!"

"Where is the Bloodthirsty Venerable?"

The ones who appeared before him were the Five Element Sovereign and the Evil Charm Empress, both with faces etched with anger and shock.

They were furious because they had tracked down the Evil King Sword only to find it fake, returned to find Chen Lan, only to realize both he and the Bloodthirsty Venerable had vanished, leaving a lingering scent of Illusory Dream on-site.

It was evident they both had entered a battle within the Illusory Dream; now only Chen Lan had emerged, and the Bloodthirsty Venerable was nowhere to be seen.

Could it be the Bloodthirsty Venerable had perished?

"Dead," Chen Lan answered flatly, tossing the storage ring of the Bloodthirsty Venerable.

The two glanced at it, recognizing the residual aura as belonging to the Bloodthirsty Venerable; they had seen it before, causing them to sharply inhale.

"How’s that possible, his power far exceeded yours, how could he be killed by you?" the Five Element Sovereign spoke in surprise.

A half-step divine realm, slain by a Daoist Venerable?

It made no sense at all.

"It’s the Evil King Sword, it must be the Evil King Sword, a magical treasure that naturally restrains us, eliminating the Bloodthirsty Venerable is no problem," the Evil Charm Empress spoke coldly.

Their gazes instantly turned grave, knowing if Chen Lan could kill the Bloodthirsty Venerable, he certainly could kill them as well.

"The two of us, he might not be able to kill," the Evil Charm Empress communicated to the Five Element Sovereign.

Two against one, they might stand a chance!

The Five Element Sovereign hesitated a bit, but Chen Lan then spoke.

"If you wish to kill me, then bring it on, but not here," Chen Lan said calmly.

He swung his sword towards the sky, slicing open a space tunnel in the world of the Five Element Sovereign, and leaped in.

"Chase!"

The two hurriedly followed; the Demon Slayer must die. If the current Evil King found out about the Evil King Sword and they failed to bring it back, they’d be in trouble.

...

Blue Star.

The space tunnel opened, with Chen Lan flying out, followed by the other two.

As the Five Element Sovereign and Evil Charm Empress emerged, they were startled by the scene before them!

The Evil Race had dwindled, yet Blue Star still had many survivors!

Could it be that Artax and his kind couldn’t resolve the situation?

Chirp chirp chirp—

At this moment, a strange noise sounded, the two followed the noise and were extremely alarmed.

A white-furred giant rat stood in front of them, grasping an Evil Race member in its claws, gnawing it ravenously!

"Cosmic Creature, a Violent Rat, wasn’t their species supposed to be extinct long ago, why is it here!" the Five Element Sovereign exclaimed in fear.

Violent Rat, a cosmic creature, he once read about it in ancient texts, a uniquely terrifying creature born of the Violence Star, with innate divine power and incredible speed. At birth, it could match the Daoist Venerable, and with growth could reach the divine realm.

Rumor has it their claws can obliterate any entity of the same realm, especially those claws, as even the hardest of substances are trivial to them. Effortlessly slicing through, their speed commands the space path, making teleportation trivial.

Omnivorous, the legend goes that billions of years ago, the heavens welcomed one Violent Rat that slaughtered a million evil races before being slain. Fortunately, it was female, without males to breed with, or else destruction would have ensued.

How did this creature appear on Blue Star, it has been unseen for years, said to be extinct.

"Five Element Sovereign, look there, aren’t those Heaven-Devouring Ants, and so many of them!"

Just then, the frightened shout of the Evil Charm Empress caught the Five Element Sovereign’s attention, rendering him stunned.

Countless Heaven-Devouring Ants and Violent Rats chewed through the Evil Race, the overwhelming number petrified him into inaction!
