Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 393: Corpse Dao

Chen Lan’s lips curved slightly upwards, Li Chunqiu was coordinating well.

But in the next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he shouted angrily, "Li Chunqiu, dodge!"

Li Chunqiu immediately sensed something was wrong, as he felt a terrifying and eerie coldness emanating from behind him!

He tried to dodge, but it was too late. His back felt as if it had been slashed by some sharp claws, causing intense pain in an instant. His whole body flew out and rolled heavily onto the ground.

The elder in the purple robe who had just died now looked completely different, becoming terrifying and horrifying!

All the flesh and blood on his body had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a skin-covered skeleton. Especially those eyes, which were now hollow sockets without eyeballs, eerily terrifying. The mouth had no teeth, resembling an elderly person with no teeth, with shriveled skin, and long, sharp fingernails!

"Is this a zombie?" Chen Lan exclaimed in surprise. The appearance of the elder in the purple robe now resembled the zombies he had seen in movies!

It was just like what he had seen, with shriveled skin, long and sharp nails, and no flesh.

What kind of heretical practice is this!

"Didn’t expect that old Chen managed to comprehend the Corpse Dao. When did this happen?" the elder in the white robe exclaimed in surprise. He hadn’t known that the elder in the purple robe could do this either.

Hearing this, Chen Lan looked at the other three elders and saw surprise on their faces as well. Clearly, they had no idea that the elder in the purple robe had this skill, but what exactly is this Corpse Dao?

Then, looking at Li Chunqiu, Chen Lan noticed something was wrong. Li Chunqiu’s face didn’t look good, his eyes suddenly focused, only to see blood and pus seeping from his back, accompanied by a flow of black blood and black mist, a very bad sign! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Hahaha! The Corpse Dao is complete. I thought of seizing the corpse for soul return, but didn’t expect to break through suddenly. Now my body has transformed into a corpse form, immortal and indestructible!" The elder in the purple robe laughed out loud, black mist billowing from his body, spreading throughout the scene.

Chen Lan and the other three elders simultaneously retreated, as the black mist contained toxins, which could erode and rot even their Taoist Saint bodies.

"The Corpse Dao is a major taboo. After practicing it, one becomes neither human nor ghost, and it’s easy to go mad. At worst, one might not recognize family, commit senseless killings, eat people upon sight, and they no longer rely on spiritual power but need blood to grow stronger. If they run out of blood energy, they become neither immortal nor indestructible." The elder in the white robe spoke in a deep voice.

The Corpse Dao, like the Demon Dao, is considered an aberration and a heretical practice in the eyes of the Human Race!

They originally came to eliminate the remaining Demon Race, but didn’t expect someone practicing the Corpse Dao among them. They also needed to be killed!

"Everyone, while I still have some consciousness left, kill this child first!" The elder in the purple robe commanded coldly, knowing that his sanity wouldn’t last long. They needed to join forces to kill Chen Lan quickly.

The other three nodded in agreement, realizing that the situation left them no choice but to kill Chen Lan first, then deal with the elder in the purple robe. However, they were unsure if they could manage it.

The Corpse Dao can amplify one’s power several times and become ferociously violent. The corpse poison on their bodies is even more terrifying than the power of the Great Dao. If touched, it would disrupt their spiritual qi, preventing them from using spiritual qi, and ultimately leading to death by slow erosion!

Chen Lan also noticed this, observing that Li Chunqiu’s situation was becoming increasingly dire.

"This won’t do; we can’t continue fighting here. I must get Li Chunqiu out of here as soon as possible." Chen Lan hadn’t expected to encounter someone practicing such strange and heretical arts here, and he was caught off guard.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted as he hastily retreated backward, sensing a gust of fierce wind approaching him, accompanied by a foul odor akin to that of a long-dead rat!

Chen Lan frowned. The elder in the purple robe appeared where he had just been standing, his claws extended in a downward grip, his expression extremely eerie and terrifying: "Where do you think you can run to, boy!"

"Furious Dragon Fury Sea Wave!" The elder in the blue robe shouted angrily as a long spear appeared in his hand. As he swung the spear, huge water dragons emerged from behind him, roaring towards Chen Lan.

Chen Lan evaded continually, constantly getting closer to Li Chunqiu.

"Heaven-locking Wood!" The elder in the red robe shouted loudly, his hand turning over, causing countless vines and numerous pieces of wood to sprout from the ground.

Seeing the attacking vines, Chen Lan coldly shouted. The Flame Thunder Spear burst into ferocious flames, instantly incinerating more than half of them, creating a flaming barrier around his body that the vines couldn’t approach.

Fire naturally counters wood.

But soon, the wood began to autonomously form a cage attempting to trap him but instantly turned to ashes and dissipated.

"You think you can trap me?" Chen Lan said with a faint smile, quickly reaching Li Chunqiu’s side, noticing that his condition was worsening.

"Lord Ye, be careful; this corpse poison is very frightening. I can’t control my spiritual qi," Li Chunqiu said through gritted teeth.

"It’s alright." Chen Lan quickly injected a dose of life energy then lifted Li Chunqiu on his back, summoned Xiaodie with one hand, and instantly opened a space tunnel, escaping the scene.

"Pursue!" The elder in the white robe commanded coldly, immediately following, and the other three, noticing this, nodded and followed suit, with their disciples quickly following behind as well.

Inside the space tunnel, Chen Lan glanced back, seeing the throng of people. These people were truly unafraid of death to pursue him here.

Rumble!

The elder in the white robe wielded divine techniques, sending innumerable blades flying towards Chen Lan, who dodged repeatedly, cursing fiercely through gritted teeth: "You madmen, this is a space tunnel!"

The space tunnel shouldn’t be attacked; it could potentially cause a spatial collapse, at the least causing them to get lost or drop randomly into a location, at the worst exploding, devouring them all. Do these people really intend to perish with him?

This is utterly absurd. If it truly ends in mutual destruction, it’d be a huge loss; his life is far more valuable than these idiots’ lives, a bunch of reckless fools.

"Attack with all your might. This space tunnel isn’t so easy to collapse," the elder in the white robe coldly commanded, even reinforcing the tunnel with a stroke of spatial dao power.

It turns out he had considerable expertise in space tunnels, and with his reinforcement, it wasn’t as easy for them to collapse.

Chen Lan couldn’t look back, only accelerating his pace, waiting for the right moment to escape here.

However, the divine techniques from behind kept increasing, with all kinds of flying swords and daoist techniques attacking, the dense barrage of assaults evidently not something he could evade, as the barrier continuously sustained attacks, nearing collapse.

Chen Lan turned back, glaring viciously at these people, imprinting their faces deeply in his memory, and left spiritual marks on them for locating them.

If he managed to get out, he vowed to find an opportunity to kill them all!

"Not good, I’m about to lose my sanity!"

At this moment, the elder in the purple robe suddenly shouted, his pupils turning red, his nails growing longer, his appearance becoming even more terrifying and grim.

The last vestige of his sanity was going to disappear!
