Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 413: Array Failure

"I never expected that the three arrays could be unified. Having encountered you as my disciple, this old man has no regrets."

The old man stroked his long beard, let out a sigh, and felt at ease leaving now. It was unfortunate that he couldn’t see the Demon Emperor one more time. He wondered if he was well.

Thinking of this, the old man’s Soul Body became even more transparent. Chen Lan noticed, was slightly startled, and hurriedly asked, "Senior, are you going to..."

"I am merely the manifestation of an obsession. Today, you have comprehended the three grand arrays and even surpassed me. I am relieved and can finally depart in peace." The old man smiled faintly. As the obsession dissipated, he would naturally vanish as well.

Chen Lan remained silent, contemplating the unpredictability of life. The senior who had been imparting knowledge of arrays was now about to disappear.

"Senior, I can actually find a body for you and resurrect you." Chen Lan said. His path of the soul was already perfected, restoring the senior’s body would be an easy task.

"No need, I’ve lived long enough. It’s just a pity that I can’t see that person again." The old man laughed. He had waited for millions of years and still couldn’t find that person; he was no longer willing to wait.

Perhaps that person had already...

If he left, he might still be able to find that person.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan realized who the old man wanted to see. His gaze shifted as he sighed, "I’m sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Upon these words, the old man was slightly taken aback. Looking toward Chen Lan, he was about to speak when his pupils suddenly contracted violently, stunned.

Because Chen Lan removed his disguise, revealing his true face. Seeing Chen Lan’s features, the old man was too surprised to speak!

After an unknown length of time, the old man murmured, "Resemblance, such resemblance. You look just like the Demon Emperor!"

But he quickly recalled what Chen Lan had just said and was suddenly shocked: "Demon Emperor, are you the Demon Emperor?!"

"To be honest, my first life was as the Demon Emperor, but I have yet to awaken the memories of that life. I need to go to the Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area to reclaim my Dao body to remember you. However, I can tell you responsibly that I am not lying." Chen Lan replied truthfully. If the old man asked about the Demon Emperor’s memories, he knew nothing.

"I believe you because this face does not lie," the old man said.

Actually, a hundred years ago, when the Demon Emperor disappeared and the Demon Race was nearly wiped out, the so-called righteous sects and the Four Clans wanted to completely erase the Demon Emperor’s existence so that descendants would not know about him. They erased all history about him, leaving nothing behind. Nowadays, few people even knew that such an Emperor existed a million years ago.

The portrait of the Demon Emperor now exists only among a few Demon Race people or those who believe in him. Only Demon Race members know the appearance of the Demon Emperor. They would not forget either the appearance or the presence of the Demon Emperor. Even among thousands, they could recognize the Demon Emperor at a glance. So, Chen Lan’s face could not deceive him!

Because not many dare to impersonate this face, the Demon Race wouldn’t, and those old enemies who remember the Demon Emperor’s face wouldn’t either because they hate this face deeply. However, it’s uncertain if any of those enemies are still alive today; they are probably relics of the past by now.

"The Demon Emperor is eternal, and the Demon Race will always exist!" Suddenly, the old man knelt down, shouting loudly, his voice excited and fervent.

The Demon Emperor had returned, the legendary Emperor had returned!

Uncontrollably, tears fell from the old man’s eyes. He never expected to see the Demon Emperor again, now he had no regrets in this life!

"You’ve worked hard during this time. Now, would you like to live on and continue to accompany me in campaigns all around?" Chen Lan spoke calmly, trying his best to adopt the tone of the Demon Emperor.

Upon hearing these words, the old man nodded repeatedly, saying, "I am willing!"

Chen Lan smiled faintly, having once more reclaimed an old friend, more accurately, having found another veteran of considerable mastery in arrays.

"Then I will take you away from here." Chen Lan opened his hand, absorbing the old man’s soul into the World Map, intending to find a suitable body for him outside, to regain new life!

...

Outside.

"Why hasn’t this kid come out yet? It’s been so long." The Wolf Demon said impatiently.

If it weren’t for the Barrier being too strong, he would have already broken in and devoured Chen Lan’s body.

"Don’t rush, good things are always worth the wait." The Fox Demon licked her lips and smiled, eager to devour Chen Lan.

At that moment, the Barrier vanished, and Chen Lan opened his eyes, immediately seeing the seriously injured man and the pair of Demon Cultivators in the distance.

"Kid, you finally came out, prepare to die!" The Wolf Demon sneered, now ready to eat Chen Lan!

"Noisy." Chen Lan spoke coldly. He had long known that someone outside was interfering, but didn’t expect it was merely two Daoist Venerables from the Demon Race.

As soon as he concluded his words, the Wolf Cultivator exploded instantly, turning into a bloody mist that dispersed into the air, dead beyond death, soul scattered!

The Fox Demon beside was dumbfounded, her lover had just died like that, in just one exchange of words!

"Senior, I..."

Boom!

Just as the Fox Demon knelt down to beg for mercy, she too exploded, dying immediately in the same manner.

In an instant, both Daoist Venerables vanished without a trace. The man nearby was dumbstruck, never expecting Chen Lan’s power to be so formidable, killing two Daoist Venerables in an instant!

In a flick, a wave of Life Energy penetrated the man, helping him recover instantly, increasing his astonishment.

"Continue leading the way, so I may soon exit this Confusion Valley." Chen Lan spoke lightly and began walking ahead, the man hurried to follow, smiling as he asked, "Senior, did you comprehend the array?"

Chen Lan nodded slightly, further surprising the man. That he understood it so quickly, when so many took ages to comprehend it, showed Chen Lan’s exceptional perception.

Such strength and perception, truly terrifying!

After the two had left, the stone tablet located at the array’s core gradually split, unexpectedly shattering into debris.

The old man’s spirit no longer existed; the grand array was completely ineffective, and the Confusion Valley would cease to exist!

...

"Hmm?" Chen Lan paused, realizing he could use his Divine Sense!

"The array has failed!" The man said surprised, astonished that an array that lasted millions of years had failed today!

Suddenly, he thought of something, glancing at Chen Lan. If he guessed correctly, Chen Lan was responsible.

"Apologies, it should be my doing," Chen Lan said lightly. Now that the array was ineffective, the man likely lost his job; life wouldn’t be as good as before.

"It’s fine, being able to witness you break this ancient array today has been an eye-opening experience." The man laughed, inwardly extremely shocked.

Now, the Confusion Valley was likely to descend into chaos. The array’s collapse would leave many broken, as numerous forces relied on it to kill and seize treasures.

"Since the array is ineffective, I don’t need a guide anymore. Farewell." Chen Lan said and vanished instantly.

With the means of Divine Sense, he could find his own way out.
