Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 487: You All Misjudged

With a command, the Soul Chain instantly pulled the soul from the Spiritual Fire, an elder’s soul body flew out, landing in front of Chen Lan.

"Thank you, young friend, for saving this old man’s life." The elder’s soul body clasped fists and bowed in gratitude.

"You’re welcome." Chen Lan shook his head.

In no time, the elder’s soul body slowly dissipated. He had stayed within the Spiritual Fire for countless years, controlled within it, manipulating the fire through array spells.

Now, being free at last, he could finally reincarnate.

As the elder vanished, the Dan City Emperor’s Fire remained extremely docile, floating quietly in the air. Chen Lan waved his hand, drawing it into his Dantian, looking for a suitable place to refine it later.

The field dispersed, and the Ancient Pill Emperor outside was shocked to see Chen Lan emerge unscathed.

"What about the Dan City Emperor’s Fire?" The Ancient Pill Emperor asked; it was the Flame Spirit Fury, one of the top three Spiritual Fires, a dream for countless Alchemy Masters.

"Tamed," Chen Lan said plainly, and continued, "That’s all. I’ve repaid your favor, you are now free."

After speaking, Chen Lan left directly.

The Ancient Pill Emperor watched Chen Lan leave, sighed, and his eyes suddenly gleamed: "Ye Lan’s rise will change the heavens; it is time to settle scores in this absurd world."

...

Ye Family.

Patriarch Hall.

At this moment, Ye Tianhai, the four Daoist Emperor Sect Leaders of the Four Beasts Holy Land, and figures like the Demon Emperor and Ancient Emperor were all gathered in one place.

In front of them, an old man stood trembling in the center, not daring to look up at any of them.

"Elder Liu, please deduce Ye Lan’s location and his next destination." Ye Tianhai said coldly.

They had been searching for days, unable to find any trace of Ye Lan. Their only solution was for Liu Ru to use the Destiny Calculation Method, to deduce Ye Lan’s whereabouts and his possible next moves.

"Patriarch!!!" Liu Ru suddenly knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly toward Ye Tianhai, "I don’t dare! If I forcibly calculate, I’ll surely die!"

"If you don’t deduce, we’ll kill you. Sooner or later, you’ll die anyway, it’s just a matter of which path you choose." The Cyan Dragon Dao Emperor snorted coldly.

Hearing these words, Liu Ru’s body trembled. He looked at the Cyan Dragon Dao Emperor, then at the other Dao Emperors, and finally at Ye Tianhai, whose indifference made him feel cold and hopeless inside.

Liu Ru had been born with the Destiny Saint Body, and when he was young, he was saved by an ancestor of the Ye Family, leading him to vow to repay this debt, serving the Ye Family for tens of thousands of years. In the end, he was about to die such an unjust death—what a grave mistake!

"I hope you’ll consider your family." The Demon Emperor suddenly spoke.

Liu Ru raised his head abruptly, his eyes flashing with anger, despair, and submission, finally lowering his head: "I’ll deduce, just promise not to harm my family."

"I promise," Ye Tianhai spoke first.

"I also promise," the Demon Emperor said.

"..." The other Dao Emperors echoed, absolutely not touching Liu Ru’s family.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ru showed no signs of happiness, only a resolute acceptance of death. This brought to mind the last words Ye Lan said to Ye Tianhai before being banished to the lower realm a century ago.

"Hahaha, the Ye Family, Ye Tianhai, a family that devours people without spitting out bones, laughable, truly laughable!"

Indeed, it devours people without spitting out bones.

Liu Ru, without hope, began to deduce Ye Lan’s fate. However, just as he began, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body swaying as if he might collapse any second.

The Dao Emperors, seeing this, quickly infused him with Spiritual Qi to lend him a hand.

They weren’t saving Liu Ru but wanted to know Ye Lan’s whereabouts.

As Liu Ru’s body trembled more violently, the blood he spat almost formed a river. His face grew increasingly pale, and he suddenly collapsed.

Seeing him fall, Ye Tianhai stood up abruptly, about to speak when the Cyan Dragon Dao Emperor interrupted.

"Quick, continue sending Spiritual Qi; he mustn’t fall, we must know Ye Lan’s location!"

The Dao Emperors increased their Spiritual Qi input, but Liu Ru, like a flickering candle in the wind, was unable to absorb so much, serving only to prolong things briefly.

He continued to deduce, knowing if he didn’t provide a satisfactory answer to the Dao Emperors, his family would perish. He didn’t mind dying, but his family couldn’t.

Rumble!!!

Above the Ye Family, thunderclouds gathered, and the thunderous roar was deafening, like a dragon’s rage, forming powerful lightning that suddenly struck the Patriarch Hall!

This was forcibly deducing destiny, angering the Heavenly Dao!

"Strike!" the Demon Emperor coldly commanded, launching an attack, while the others intervened to intercept the falling Thunder Tribulation.

But their interference made the tribulation fiercer, even straining the Dao Emperors.

After all, the Heavenly Dao was also at the Dao Emperor level!

Time passed by little by little, and Liu Ru stopped, opened his eyes.

At the same time, the Thunder Tribulation dissipated; everyone knew Liu Ru had finished.

"How was it, did you deduce it?" Ye Tianhai asked excitedly.

The Dao Emperors all turned their gazes to Liu Ru, waiting for his answer.

Liu Ru slowly sat up, scanned the crowd, and spoke slowly: "The Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area, Chen Lan’s next path is the Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area. He will arrive at noon ten days later."

At these words, the Dao Emperors were astonished, looking at each other, reading surprise in each other’s eyes.

The Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area, wasn’t this the most feared forbidden zone?

Even for Dao Emperors, entering meant facing nearly certain death; they dared not venture in lightly, yet Chen Lan dared to enter alone!

"Indeed, he received the Demon Emperor’s inheritance; the Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area must hide treasures left by the Demon Emperor, and he wants to retrieve them. This cannot be allowed!" the Demon Emperor declared coldly.

The others nodded; they couldn’t be sure how powerful Chen Lan would become with the Demon Emperor’s treasure. They dared not take the risk, after all, Chen Lan had momentarily broken through as a Dao Emperor and wounded the Demon Emperor; they dared not gamble.

"Do you know the way to the Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area?" the Cyan Dragon Dao Emperor asked with curiosity. Everyone knew it was a forbidden zone, but few knew the way, except perhaps the Demon Race.

"It seems I’ll have to invite my father," the Demon Emperor said solemnly; perhaps his father knew the path to the Ten Thousand Demon Forbidden Area.

"Alright, once we find the way, we’ll set out and ensure we arrive a day before Ye Lan. Only then will we have a chance."

The Dao Emperors discussed this while Liu Ru slowly stood up, pale, looking at them, "Sirs, may I leave now?"

"Go, go," the Black Tortoise Dao Emperor waved; this person was now of no use.

"Liu Ru, take this elixir," Ye Tianhai tossed him a Wild Grade Elixir, capable of healing Liu Ru’s internal injuries.

Liu Ru accepted the elixir, said nothing, and dragged his weary body slowly toward the exit, finally leaving the Patriarch Hall.

Thud.

His strength gone, he fell heavily at the doorway, spitting blood that stained the ground red.

With all his might, he turned himself over, gazing at the azure sky, a slow smile forming on his lips.

During the deduction, he saw many things, a towering figure standing at the end of the great path, corpses scattered at his feet, most conspicuously those several Dao Emperors.

Moreover, Chen Lan was not arriving in ten days but in five; ten days was when he would fuse his Dao Body!

He had deceived those Dao Emperors.

"Unexpectedly, the Demon Emperor is the same person—like me, you’ve all been mistaken..."

His voice dwindled, and Liu Ru’s eyes gradually lost light, his breath ceased, and life fled him.

Inside the Patriarch Hall, in the midst of fervent discussion, no one noticed that Liu Ru had died outside.
