Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 490: Dao Body

"I am beset by enemies everywhere; if you follow me out, you’ll die."

Chen Lan spoke calmly, his response being the resolute voice of Lin Qingxuan.

"Death, we are not afraid of it. We are only afraid you have forgotten us. We would rather die fighting than stay here waiting for death our whole lives!" Lin Qingxuan shouted loudly.

They would rather go out and fight the enemies to the death than remain here. After waiting for a million years, he wanted to give up. Yet, a voice inside kept telling him to wait a little longer, that the person would appear soon.

Thus, he waited for a million years, and the Demon Race within the Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area waited for a million years, and finally, today, they waited for Chen Lan!

The day of the Demon Emperor’s return is the day their Demon Race will once again be renowned throughout the world!

"Rise." Chen Lan spoke calmly.

"Lord Demon Emperor, I will not rise unless you agree to my request," Lin Qingxuan said.

"Sigh, wait for my news," Chen Lan sighed.

After speaking, his figure vanished.

Lin Qingxuan looked up and shouted, "Farewell, Demon Emperor, we await your return here!!!"

At this moment, he was indescribably excited. The Emperor he once revered had returned, he had finally returned!

Desolate Celestial Realm, tremble!!!

...

Chaotic Realm.

Within that blood-filled sea, a towering pillar stood in the middle, atop which sat a figure—the Chaos Realm Lord, the former subordinate of the Demon Emperor—Blood Sea.

Suddenly, Blood Sea opened his eyes wide, frowning deeply as his heart violently throbbed with an ominous feeling.

"What’s happening? Why am I feeling this anxiety?" Blood Sea murmured to himself. At his level, such trivial feelings were impossible. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

At this moment, he looked up to the sky, as a subordinate rapidly flew in, kneeling before him: "Realm Lord, the Ancient Emperor visited just now, instructing us to gather at the Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area five days from now; they have found Ye Lan."

Hearing this, Blood Sea grinned broadly, forgetting his previous anxiety, and immediately spoke: "Good, have everyone prepare. Gather at the Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area in five days!"

"Yes!" The subordinate departed, and Blood Sea gazed upward, laughing loudly: "Hahaha, Demon Emperor, do you think I can’t recognize you as the Demon Emperor? I want you dead; even if you are resurrected, it won’t matter, for right now you are merely a Taoist Saint that can be easily crushed!"

The Demon Emperor must die for certain; he must be killed before he rises!

...

Deep within the Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area.

Black Sea.

This is the only sea region within the Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area, the sole water source. Being tainted with Demonic Qi, these waters carry a thick presence of Demonic Qi, serving as the water source for the Demon Race, who love to drink it.

Chen Lan arrived here, gazing over the boundlessness of the Black Sea, beneath which many terrifying demons lived, either Daoist Venerables or Taoist Saints, but they could never leave this Black Sea in their lifetime. Constantly absorbing Demon Water had bonded them to the Black Sea.

What others don’t know is that the Demon Emperor’s Daoist body is hidden within the Black Sea. Whoever obtains his Daoist body will gain the legacy of the Demon Emperor, for he sealed his power within the Daoist body.

Without overthinking, Chen Lan dove into the sea, swimming swiftly towards the location in his memories. He saw countless creatures, but the Demonic Qi on his body served as a natural shield, preventing the Black Sea’s demons from attacking their kin. He advanced unhindered until reaching a small mountain buried under billions of meters.

Staring at the small mountain before him, Chen Lan had never felt such excitement. This was the place where the Daoist body was sealed; his Daoist body was in here!

He reached out to touch the mountain, causing the Array to ripple without any malice towards him. If he wished to enter, he could.

"Who dares come here!!!"

Suddenly, a voice erupted, followed by rushing water. Chen Lan dodged quickly, avoiding thousands of Water Spears that collided with the Array Barrier and naturally dissipated.

Turning back, Chen Lan saw a young man clad in Black Armor of the Flood Dragon. The aura he emitted was of the Taoist Saint realm, and behind him stood over ten thousand Black-armored individuals holding weapons.

"This place is not where you should be, begone!" the young man yelled coldly, everyone simultaneously raising their weapons directed at Chen Lan.

Chen Lan did not speak but instead walked towards the small mountain step by step. Seeing this, the young man immediately shouted: "Attack, kill him!"

Yet, in the next second, Chen Lan passed through the Array, entering the mountain and vanishing without a trace.

"Stop!!!" the young man shouted loudly, rushing over to touch the Array, instantly getting flung away, landing heavily on the ground.

Others tried to help him but saw him sitting up, laughing heartily.

"Hahahahaha, I, Black Demon Flood Dragon, waited hundreds of thousands of years. Finally, it happened; Father, that person appeared, that person returned!"

The rest were bewildered, wondering why the Black Demon Flood Dragon was laughing so maniacally?

They were all from the Black Demon Flood Dragon lineage, born in this Black Sea, never venturing outside. Yet, they had a mission—that was to guard this mountain, unaware of the reason for guarding it.

This secret was known only to the Clan Leader of the Black Demon Flood Dragon, passed down from generation to generation. This young man was their Clan Leader; the previous Clan Leader died three hundred thousand years ago.

Suddenly, the young man swiftly stood and knelt, kowtowing before the mountain and shouting angrily: "Black Demon Flood Dragon, Mo Qing, welcomes the Demon Emperor. The Demon Emperor remains eternal, and the Demon Race persists forever!!!"

The reverberations were vast, spreading billions of miles, reaching countless Black Sea demons who sensed the vibrations in the Black Sea.

Demon Emperor?!

Upon hearing the name, all demons were shocked, rushing towards the source of the sound.

The demons behind Mo Qing were dumbfounded. What did the Clan Leader say—Demon Emperor?!

"Is that Demon Emperor really back?"

"Was that person just now the Demon Emperor?!"

"No way, is the Demon Emperor really back?"

"If even the Clan Leader kneels, how can it be false?"

In an instant, they all knelt, kowtowing towards the mountain and shouting: "Welcome Demon Emperor, the Demon Emperor remains eternal, the Demon Race persists forever!!"

Whereas the entering Chen Lan couldn’t hear outside sounds, before him was a cave, illuminating firelight, a stone platform, and a black, Demonic Qi-emitting skeleton sitting atop the stone platform!

It was simple, contrary to what Chen Lan thought; he hadn’t imagined the Daoist body to be in such a rudimentary environment, so plainly placed there.

"You have arrived."

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the cave, echoing, lingering.

"Yes, I have arrived." Chen Lan nodded slightly, with no one speaking to him, yet he did not find it strange.

The voice seemed as if he was speaking to himself!

He gazed at the Daoist body, the Elder of Destiny’s words echoing in his mind.

"Taking back the Daoist body will lead to the destruction of both worlds!"

"If I don’t take it back, I won’t be able to protect those I wish to protect!"

As his voice fell, Chen Lan reached out to touch the Daoist body’s head!
