Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 456: Crisis Returns!

"Father, help me."

The Demon Emperor opened his robes, revealing the wound in front of the Demon God’s phantom.

The Demon God merely glanced at it, body trembling suddenly, pupils narrowing as he quickly approached to closely inspect it, his expression terrified as he asked, "Who did this?"

"A monster. He was clearly a Taoist Saint, yet he elevated to a Dao Emperor in a short time, wielding a bizarre sword that surpassed even the Chaos Supreme Treasure," the Demon Emperor recalled with lingering fear. If it weren’t for the spatial lock breaking at the time, he would likely have had to find a new body to resurrect.

Having reached the Dao Emperor realm, one is practically immortal; even if one dies, they can resurrect. Moreover, there are multiple methods of protecting the soul, making it extremely difficult for the soul to be obliterated. At the time, he never thought he would die—it was no big deal to find a new body and live another life, but the time required to elevate back to the Dao Emperor would be lengthy.

"It’s too similar; this is Demonic Qi, but there’s also Evil Qi and Dao Power mixed in. It’s not a technique that any ordinary member of the Demon Race can use. It’s very much like that person’s methods," the Demon God remarked solemnly.

"That person? Father, you wouldn’t be talking about the Demon Emperor, would you?" the Demon Emperor asked in horror.

Hadn’t the Demon Emperor disappeared for millions of years? How could he still be around? He hadn’t shown any sign in so long. If he were still alive, he wouldn’t have watched the Demon Race gradually fall apart, be hunted down, and near extinction.

"Impossible. Although the techniques are similar, it can’t possibly be the Demon Emperor. If it were truly him, you wouldn’t have come back alive," the Demon God affirmed.

With that person’s methods, no one could escape him alive. Even if they survived, their soul would shatter, rendering them a broken fool for the rest of their days. There was once someone who offended that demon and got their limbs shattered, soul nearly collapsing, dantian destroyed, living a muddled existence until they died of a severe illness.

Death is not fearsome. What’s terrifying is being unable to control one’s life and death; living worse than death is the most terrifying.

The Demon Emperor quite agreed with his father’s words. If it were truly the Demon Emperor, he would definitely have died—how could he have had the chance to escape alive?

"So, could that person be of the Demon Race and perhaps have inherited the Demon Emperor’s legacy?" the Demon Emperor asked.

If it truly were the Demon Emperor’s inheritance, it would be momentous. If there’s a legacy most sought by the world, it has to be the Demon Emperor’s!

Only he, the legendary Emperor living in myth, stronger than other Emperors, would have a legacy that drives people to madness. Over these millions of years, countless have searched for the Demon Emperor’s legacy.

And to this day, many are still scouring the world for it. They believe the Demon Emperor must be dead and left a legacy behind.

One of the reasons for killing members of the Demon Race is to force them into revealing the legacy’s whereabouts, as they think the Demon Emperor left it to the Demon Race.

"It’s possible," the Demon God nodded slightly.

Upon hearing his father’s words, the Demon Emperor’s eyes gleamed, "That person didn’t continue to hunt me down, there must be a reason; he couldn’t elevate to Dao Emperor in such a short time, there must be a time limit."

"Currently, there’s no Secret Technique to elevate to Dao Emperor in such a short time, not even I know of one. But if it’s the Demon Emperor’s legacy, perhaps there is, since that one doesn’t belong to this world," the Demon God said solemnly.

All impossibilities could become possible through the Demon Emperor—that one is both a legend and a miracle.

"Then Father, can you help me dissolve it?" the Demon Emperor inquired.

"I can. This Demonic Qi isn’t too strong yet; that person likely isn’t very adept. We can’t let them rise," the Demon God declared, for if the heir to the Demon Emperor’s legacy were to rise, it would inevitably spell disaster for the Desolate Celestial Realm, potentially reigniting wars from the past!

"I know what to do, Father."

With a flick of his finger, a beam of light entered the Demon Emperor’s abdominal wound, and the Demonic Qi was instantly dispelled.

"Though the Demonic Qi is gone, your wound still needs some time to heal. If you’d come to me earlier, it would have been better."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor fell silent. He was reluctant to seek his father’s help unless he had no other choice; he’d much rather prove himself.

"Next time, bring that person to me."

With that, the Demon God’s phantom slowly dissipated.

The Demon Emperor remained silent, then flickered to the cave’s entrance, lightly calling, "Tiger Snake!"

As soon as he spoke, a colossal figure appeared instantly before him, kneeling with earth-shattering force, resonating with a thunderous sound, "Greetings, Master!"

The newcomer had a large body, tiger-headed with a human torso, with a massive python coiled around its waist, its head swaying at the back, occasionally flicking its tongue menacingly, and hissed, "Greetings, Master."

This demon is named Tiger Snake, the offspring of a Tiger Demon and a Snake Demon after they fell in love post-transformation, surprisingly resulting in a child that inherited both parents’ genes, possessing the immense strength of a tiger and the form of a python, sharing a single heart, inseparable.

Its terrifying aspect lies in its cultivation, with a single body wielding the strength of two realms, presently at the Taoist Saint realm. It can face off against two or three Taoist Saints simultaneously without falling behind and even retreat unscathed.

Moreover, Tiger Snake inherited its father’s bloodline constitution—the Blood Tiger Body, allowing it to enter a state of berserk rage, significantly boosting its power, with bloodthirsty healing that strikes fear into the hearts of many.

"Tiger Snake, report to me," the Demon Emperor spoke calmly.

A month ago, he had sent a message to Tiger Snake, entrusting a mission to have Tiger Snake send someone to monitor Netherworld City and keep an eye on any movements within the Netherworld. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Fortunately, this past month, the Netherworld remained quiet, and the entire Netherworld was peaceful.

"Master, the Netherworld remains calm and quiet, and the Blue Star person you mentioned has been found in a faction called the Underworld within the Netherworld, which is precisely the faction you agreed to attack a month ago."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor’s pupils contracted, filled with anger.

A month ago, the Fire Giant Demon mentioned someone wanted to attack the Netherworld and sought his permission. He happened to hear of a Blue Star person in the Netherworld and agreed, providing assistance, sending more members of the Demon Race over.

Suddenly, the Demon Emperor was taken aback, losing his senses as everything seemed to fall into place!

The person is Ye Lan, and Ye Lan was punished to enter the lower realm, then returned to the upper realm with the Demon Emperor’s legacy. So, the Demon Emperor hadn’t disappeared; instead, he went to the lower realm, died there, leaving the legacy behind.

No wonder... No wonder after all these years, no one found the Demon Emperor’s legacy—it turned out the legacy was on Blue Star!

Ye Lan wanted to save the people of Blue Star and planned to attack the Underworld with the Demon Race to create a commotion, then went to Netherworld City to rescue the Blue Star people. So, in the end, it was all his own doing!

"Take a hundred thousand members of the Demon Race and bring all the Blue Star people back from the Underworld!"

The Demon Emperor’s legacy is on Blue Star, and the Blue Star people are the key. No matter what, this secret must not be known by others; only he could possess the legacy!

"But Master, the Netherworld has the Great Emperor of Netherworld, this might provoke them," Tiger Snake expressed concern.

"Haha, Netherworld. Are they truly intact?"

A month ago, during the battle, when he and the Ancient Emperor jointly attacked Netherworld, the damage inflicted wasn’t small, and they were likely just holding on after that.

If Ye Lan hadn’t erupted suddenly, the Netherworld would have perished for sure.

He doesn’t believe Netherworld isn’t now in seclusion, healing!

"Yes, Master, I will immediately lead the demons there!"
