Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 410: Unknown Illusion—It Turns Out to Be Himself!
The mountains towered high, as Chen Lan and the man arrived at an open area. This place was surrounded by the mountains, blocking out the sky and sun, making it extremely dark. Coupled with the presence of fog, it was nearly impossible to see the path ahead; they could only proceed slowly with torches.
Until the two arrived in front of a tall stone tablet, the man stopped and pointed at the stone tablet, saying, "Senior, this is the eye of the ancient array. This is the array eye tablet, countless people have tried to comprehend here, but very few could understand this array. It is said that only three people have succeeded, and they all possessed exceptional comprehension abilities."
Hearing this, Chen Lan stepped forward and reached out to touch the stone tablet. In an instant, a powerful and terrifying spiritual power burst forth from the stone tablet, shaking the mountains and resounding through the sky. Countless birds and beasts fled in terror, and the man was forced to retreat, staring at the stone tablet in horror and swallowing nervously.
Chen Lan retreated slightly, then grinned and said, "Such strong protection; the one who set this array is definitely not simple!"
"Senior, are you okay?"
"I’m fine, you should step back to avoid getting hurt." Chen Lan spoke calmly. With a wave of his large hand, numerous barriers appeared in an instant, enveloping him and the stone tablet.
When he would be comprehending the array later, he might not be able to pay attention to the outside world. To be safe, he set up the barrier to protect himself so that if someone attacked, he could react instantly.
The man quickly retreated. Such a stance was beyond his ability to withstand; it was better to watch the spectacle from afar.
Chen Lan once again placed his hand on the stone tablet, and the Soul Dao Power surged in fiercely. In an instant, his body was wrapped by a certain force, slowly rising as he sat cross-legged and began to comprehend with closed eyes!
The man was astonished to see Chen Lan starting to comprehend so quickly: "So fast, the senior’s power is indeed formidable, to have begun comprehending so swiftly."
"Haha, I originally thought he was just some lost boy, but it turns out he’s quite capable. If I could devour him, my strength would surely increase significantly!" Just then, a voice sounded behind the man, startling him to the core. He turned around quickly, seeing the pair who had initially come to find him, the couple at the back of the group.
Though this pair of men and women seemed a perfect match, upon a closer look, the man was handsome to the point of looking delicate, somewhat sinister, while the woman had foxy eyes, extremely alluring, and was licking her lips at the sight of Chen Lan.
"We can’t kill him. This person has formidable power; his physical body must be quite good. Let’s leave him until after I’ve finished dual cultivating with him, you can devour him later."
"You seductive fox, fine, you dual cultivate with him first, and then I’ll eat him afterward." The man also licked his lips, but his gaze was one of hunger, like he was looking at food.
They were a pair of demon cultivators planning to head to the Netherworld, the man being a Wolf Demon and the woman a Fox Demon.
Upon hearing of the Nether Great Emperor’s gathering, they thought to try their luck, hoping to find a few Ghost Cultivators to absorb because they had cultivated an evil technique, which allowed them to cultivate demon techniques and absorb souls for ghost techniques. Unexpectedly, they could encounter such a pure physical body and extraordinary human strength here.
If they devoured him, their power would surely see a significant increase.
"Two guests, you..."
Bang!
The man’s words were cut short as he was sent flying by a palm strike from the Wolf Demon; it possessed the power of a Daoist Venerable!
"If not for your utility, you would have been devoured already." The Wolf Demon spoke coldly, ignoring the heavily injured man lying on the ground.
"Let me break this barrier!" The Fox Demon laughed, waving her hand, as a shadow of an eight-tailed fox appeared behind her, pouncing towards the airborne Chen Lan, only to dissolve upon hitting the barrier.
The barrier remained intact!
Seeing this made the Fox Demon and Wolf Demon pause, the Fox Demon even more so, surprised: "My attack was ineffective!"
"It seems this person has a remarkable magical treasure; otherwise, his array skills are exceptional. No matter, we’ll wait for him to gain insight. This array is not so easily comprehended, and he is bound to expend immense mental energy. By then, unable to exit, he will meet his end then."
He didn’t believe Chen Lan was stronger than him, at most a Daoist Venerable like him. It took him tens of thousands of years to reach Daoist Venerable status, and Chen Lan, looking this young, even if he changed his appearance, the scent wouldn’t change. Being a Wolf Demon, he naturally had a peculiar ability to discern how long someone had lived.
With this trick, he identified numerous hidden ancient monsters, avoiding offending them and thus surviving till now.
He also consumed many young geniuses or individuals with superior physiques, rapidly enhancing his power with this method, reaching Daoist Venerable status in tens of thousands of years. If human, it might take a hundred thousand years to reach Daoist Venerable status.
Those who cultivated for several tens of thousands of years carried a peculiar scent known as the aroma of years. This youthful scent was even more potent, lively youthful vigor, blood vitality, making it even more delectable.
Thus, one sniff could tell Chen Lan was a young man, having cultivated for perhaps a century or a millennium. At such an age, he was considered young within the Cultivation Realm, and his realm shouldn’t be too high. Even if he was a clan disciple or a Saint Heir of a Holy Land, he would at most be a Daoist Venerable; a Taoist Saint was unlikely.
...
Inside the stone tablet.
Chen Lan’s soul had entered this place, which was a dark void space, reaching out without seeing his hand, unable to see anything.
In his confusion, he sensed an attack from the outside. Just as he was about to exit, the darkness suddenly vanished; a burst of flame ignited, and in the blink of an eye, he found himself amidst a sea of fire, surrounded by flames with no escape!
This sudden scene startled him to step back, surprisingly passing through the flames, unaffected by them.
"Is this an illusion?" Chen Lan was briefly stunned, finding himself inexplicably drawn into an illusion.
"Attack!!!" Suddenly, a roar erupted. Before Chen Lan could react, a giant creature soared overhead. It was a fiery lion with a pair of wings, and following the gaze of this demon beast, Chen Lan’s pupils contracted violently, witnessing the most shocking scene of his life!
In the distance was an army of thousands, densely packed humans and demon beasts, with various divine techniques unleashed across the sky, claiming countless lives. The ground was littered with bodies, an endless sea of fire, akin to purgatory, terrifying and shocking! 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Every divine technique’s aura sent shivers down Chen Lan’s spine, even knowing it was an illusion, his body trembled in fear.
"Such terrifying auras, all these people are Dao Emperors, every one!" Chen Lan glanced around in amazement, it was too horrifying.
The aura these people unleashed was actually all from Dao Emperors!!!
So many Dao Emperors dead, but why did they wage war?
"Celestial Domain, one day, I will return and obliterate you all!"
Suddenly, a voice, all too familiar to Chen Lan, resounded. He hurriedly turned to look, his body shaking violently!
That figure, that familiar face, was it...
It was himself!
