Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 557: Celestial Emperor and Ghost Realm
"Celestial Emperor!!!"
Artax fell on his knees with a loud thud in front of a massive black gate, clenching his fists and roaring in anger.
"Such noise and chaos, how disrespectful!"
In an instant.
The pressure descended, shattering Artax’s limbs, forcing him onto the ground. His bones cracked entirely, and the energy within him was suppressed, unable to heal his injuries.
He shouted in terror, "Celestial Emperor, the mission failed, General Rokaka is dead!"
Bang!
The black gate rumbled open backward, and Artax was flung inside. A gigantic hand grasped his neck, turning his face red instantly, making it hard to breathe.
Artax looked at the Evil Race in front of him, their eyebrows long and vertical pupils, no eyes, but an empty void wriggling with worm-like things inside, terrifyingly eerie.
"Rokaka is dead?" The giant Evil Race spoke in a hollow yet heavy voice, resonating directly in the mind, shaking the soul.
Artax’s body and mind trembled. He quickly nodded and spoke, "Yes, General Rokaka was killed by the Demon Slayer, and that Demon Slayer also has the Heaven-Devouring Ant and Violent Rat, these two cosmic creatures!"
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Emperor was astonished. He was not unfamiliar with these two creatures, especially the latter, the Violent Rat.
Once, a single Violent Rat wreaked havoc on the heavens. Who knows what realm that Violent Rat had reached. Anyway, it took several seniors to jointly suppress and kill it, resulting in the death of over a million Evil Race members at that time.
"What are the realm strengths of those two creatures?"
"Initial assessment, at least Dao Ancestor level."
"Worthless!"
Bang!
Artax was flung by a tremendous force, crashing heavily on the ground, spewing a mouthful of blood, lying on the ground like a pile of broken mud, weak and powerless.
His bones were all shattered, his energy suppressed by the Celestial Emperor, utterly unable to recover. If this continued, he might die.
"Just two Dao Ancestor level Violent Rats and Heaven-Devouring Ants troubled you, and you even ran back as a deserter, utterly losing the face of the Evil Race, losing my face!" The Celestial Emperor coldly scolded.
Two Dao Ancestor creatures frightened him so much; he even ran back as a deserter.
Deserves death!
"Celestial Emperor, it’s not just two, it’s a hundred thousand! I witnessed it with my own eyes and even counted them, fifty thousand Heaven-Devouring Ants and fifty thousand Violent Rats," Artax quickly spoke.
He felt truly wronged, having merely used the wrong unit. How could it just be two? If it were only two, they wouldn’t have run back. It was a full hundred thousand, each with Dao Ancestor strength.
He couldn’t even break through the Heaven-Devouring Ant’s defense, leaving him defenseless and fleeing back hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Emperor was greatly shocked. How could there be a hundred thousand cosmic creatures, all at Dao Ancestor realm—where did Blue Star get so many from?
Weren’t these creatures already extinct, having disappeared for who knows how long, last seen millions of years ago during that great battle?
Could it be, the Demon Slayer had been secretly nurturing these cosmic creatures for this day’s battle all along?
This possibility seemed more likely. The Demon Slayer vanished for over a million years after leaving back then; no one knew what he did. Who would have thought he secretly raised so many cosmic creatures, truly patient.
This time, he miscalculated, attacking rashly without thoroughly investigating the Demon Slayer’s full strength.
At this point, Artax felt energy surging within him, beginning to heal his injuries. Gradually, he could stand, kneeling again: "Celestial Emperor, this time we failed; I shall regroup and call upon more of the Evil Race to slay that Demon Slayer!"
"Shut up!" The Celestial Emperor turned and slapped, instantly sending Artax flying, coldly shouting: "Tens of billions of Evil Race dead, and you still dare to go again? You go to the confinement chamber to reflect, it’s no longer your concern."
As the words fell, with a wave of his hand, Artax vanished instantly.
The Celestial Emperor sat on the throne, gently tapping the armrest with his index finger, his eyes slightly narrowed, deep in thought.
Heaven-Devouring Ants and Violent Rats, though terrifying, were not invincible.
"Overlord Axe," the Celestial Emperor spoke calmly, his voice echoing through the space.
In an instant, a massive figure appeared out of thin air, knelt heavily, and shouted: "Overlord Axe, paying respects to the master!"
"Organize the Celestial Emperor Legion immediately, devise plans to deal with the Violent Rats and Heaven-Devouring Ants, intensify training."
Upon hearing this, Overlord Axe raised his head in surprise: "Master, aren’t those creatures extinct? Why plan against them?"
The Celestial Emperor remained silent, just a glance, frightens Overlord Axe into immediately lowering his head, shouting: "Yes, obeying the master’s order!"
"Go now."
Overlord Axe nodded and disappeared instantly.
"Demon Slayer, I didn’t expect you to have such a card up your sleeve. Things are getting more interesting; I hope you can entertain me."
...
Celestial Domain, Ghost Realm.
In a hidden room of Ghost King Palace.
An elder sat cross-legged on a meditation mat, eyes closed in cultivation, Ghost Qi swirling around his body, exuding an extraordinary aura.
The surroundings were stone walls, extremely quiet, with no other creatures to disturb.
But suddenly, an outside voice disturbed the elder.
"Ghost King, sir."
"Impudent fool, daring to disturb my seclusion, courting death!"
The elder roared in anger, pressure descending, causing the ghost cultivator outside to kneel abruptly, shouting in fear: "Ghost King, sir, you instructed me that if there was news of the Demon Slayer, report regardless of what you were doing."
Upon hearing this, the elder abruptly opened his eyes, looking outside, and with a flicker, appeared before the ghost cultivator: "What news, report immediately."
"Reporting to the Ghost King, sir, the Evil Race army’s expedition against Blue Star failed, Rokaka perished, and the Bloodthirsty Venerable of half-step divine path realm also died. Blue Star revealed Heaven-Devouring Ants and Violent Rats, these cosmic creatures, the Celestial Emperor is furious and may reignite the conflict."
Upon hearing this, the elder’s eyes widened, suddenly throwing his head back in laughter: "Hahaha, indeed I guessed correctly, that person is truly blessed, he wouldn’t die so easily."
"This battle won’t resume shortly; the Evil Race dispatched tens of billions, and this failure is a massive loss. The Celestial Emperor, knowing of those two cosmic creatures, will certainly target them and won’t send troops so quickly again."
"I see, as expected of the Ghost King, sir."
"Any movements from the Demon Realm?"
"None, but the Demon King should already know." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Withdraw, and report back on the Demon Slayer’s news."
"Yes, Ghost King, sir."
Soon after, the ghost cultivator departed, the elder narrowing his eyes, a smile playing at his lips.
"Ye Lan, you did not disappoint, but I hope you don’t come to the Celestial Domain; once here, you won’t be leaving. This place is no longer as simple as you once thought."
