Chapter 72: Chapter 72: He Has Arrived!
The Blood Demon Ancestor let out a miserable scream and fell backward, dead.
His soul was completely shattered by Chen Lan, crushed beyond repair.
Reconstruction!
With a wave of Chen Lan’s hand, a semi-transparent soul appeared above the corpse of the Blood Demon Ancestor, hovering.
However, it didn’t seem to have any spiritual light, like an idiot.
With a gentle press of his hand, the soul slowly entered the Blood Demon Ancestor’s body.
"Phew!" The Blood Demon Ancestor suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and gasped for air.
The feeling of death was too painful; he never wanted to endure it again.
But when he got up and saw Chen Lan, his expression immediately turned unpleasant.
"Great Emperor, I beg you, please let me go. The soul restriction is still there; it can’t be destroyed." The Blood Demon Ancestor repeatedly kowtowed, pleading with Chen Lan not to torture him anymore.
That feeling just now was truly unbearable.
"No way? Then we’ll have to use that move." Chen Lan sighed, not expecting the soul restriction to be so strong.
He had no choice but to try changing the great path.
"What? Again? I beg you, Great Emperor, please let me go!" The Blood Demon Ancestor was dumbfounded, hurriedly knelt down, ran over, and hugged Chen Lan’s leg, begging with tears.
He had never experienced such painful torture in his life. What on earth was all this?
After much hardship, he found an array, thinking he could use it to escape those people, avoid divine punishment, and evade world reincarnation.
And yet, he couldn’t escape their notice, was implanted with a soul restriction, and upon awakening, he encountered a Supreme Great Emperor. What kind of absurd situation was this?
He hadn’t encountered a Supreme Great Emperor before; the strongest he had seen was the Celestial Emperor, and there was only one.
"Change, weaken the soul restriction." Chen Lan said indifferently.
A mysterious dao rhythm spread out, and unconsciously, the soul restriction was weakened.
"Eh?" The Blood Demon Ancestor was stunned for a moment, but he did feel the soul restriction in his mind weakened significantly.
Could it actually be possible?
"Tell me what you know. What is world reincarnation?" Chen Lan asked directly.
The Soul Search technique wouldn’t work; any attempt would cause it to explode.
The opponent’s soul restriction was too powerful, clearly a master of the soul great path.
At least stronger than someone inexperienced like him.
The Blood Demon Ancestor fell silent. After a moment, he spoke slowly, trembling with fear: "World reincarnation is..."
He deliberately paused, and finding that his soul didn’t hurt, spoke quickly: "World reincarnation is what happens when every world reaches a critical point, a reincarnation unfolds, which could also be called a purge. Divine punishment purges the world’s impurities, maintaining the world..."
Boom!
Before he could finish, the Blood Demon Ancestor suddenly exploded.
He died from the explosion, with his divine soul utterly destroyed!
Chen Lan frowned, contemplating the answer he had just heard.
Purge the world?
Does this mean that periodically, someone or some people conduct a world purge, returning the world to its original state?!
This ability is actually quite simple; he could do it too.
But why do it?
What is the point of repeated reincarnations?
With a wave of his hand, Chen Lan reversed time, rapidly reconstructing the Blood Demon Ancestor’s body back to the moment he started speaking.
"World reincarnation is..." The Blood Demon Ancestor, with time reversed, continued speaking.
"Stop, I understand." Chen Lan interrupted the Blood Demon Ancestor, as continuing would lead to another deadly explosion.
He already understood this part; it was time to ask other questions.
"What is divine punishment?"
"Divine punishment is the name we gave to the punishment those beings from above mete out," the Blood Demon Ancestor hesitated for a few seconds before speaking nervously.
Realizing he was unharmed, he smiled again.
It seems to work, it really means he can’t die!
Little did he know, he had already died once.
"Why world reincarnation?"
"Because those beings want to..."
Boom!
The Blood Demon Ancestor exploded again.
Chen Lan frowned; this question seemed more serious as it involved certain secrets that were completely forbidden to mention.
The more serious the question, the faster the Blood Demon Ancestor would explode.
Time reversal, body reconstruction.
"What was the world like in the past?"
"In the past..."
Boom!
This question was even more serious!
Reverse, reconstruct.
"Do you know who those people who want to purge the world are?"
"I know..."
Boom!
Reverse, reconstruct.
"How long have you been asleep?"
Boom!
Explosion, reversal, reconstruction.
Through repeated attempts, Chen Lan found that any questions about the previous world or those people caused the Blood Demon Ancestor to explode.
Those were all top secrets!
Finally, Chen Lan didn’t want to ask anymore because he couldn’t get any answers.
After reconstructing the Blood Demon Ancestor, he spoke blandly: "As long as you don’t threaten the lives of Huaxia people, I can keep you alive."
He could see that the Blood Demon Ancestor didn’t seem like a bad person, just someone who was trying to escape the suffering of world reincarnation.
"No, no, no, Great Emperor, please kill me, kill me!"
Suddenly, the Blood Demon Ancestor hugged Chen Lan’s leg, begging him to end his life.
Chen Lan was stunned and asked in confusion, "Why?"
Boom!
The Blood Demon Ancestor suddenly exploded again, with his divine soul also wiped out.
Upon seeing this, Chen Lan’s eyes narrowed; he hadn’t even asked a question.
This meant that they had already noticed, wanting to utterly destroy the Blood Demon Ancestor to keep their secrets safe.
Killing someone under his nose?
Did they ask him?
Time reversed, reconstructing the Blood Demon Ancestor.
But upon reconstruction, the Blood Demon Ancestor exploded again.
No matter how he reversed, the Blood Demon Ancestor would always explode.
"Great Emperor, He’s coming!" In the last reconstruction, the Blood Demon Ancestor suddenly shouted in terror.
Boom!
Another explosion.
Simultaneously, a sudden change erupted outside.
The sky gathered a massive amount of thunderclouds, quickly covering the entire Huaxia and even overseas, stretching for tens of millions of miles!
Golden heavenly lightning slashed across the sky like drumsticks beating a drum, deafening the ears, resembling thunder dragons soaring and roaring within the clouds.
People across the country looked up at the sky, horrified by the dark ink-colored thundercloud, filled with fear and panic.
"What’s happening? Is another gold ranking being released?"
"It can’t be; the gold ranking won’t come out for two more days, and when it does, the phenomenon isn’t this terrifying."
"The golden heavenly lightning looks much more powerful than before; could some powerful Demon Beast be descending?"
"Something’s not right, absolutely something’s off. This is heralding a big event!"
"Such an oppressive aura, I can feel an extremely terrifying presence within the thunderclouds, my heart aches secretly!"
Not only could people within Huaxia see the thunderclouds, but even those in the Ninja Empire, Superpower Empire, and Pharaoh Country could look up and see them.
These thunderclouds were more terrifying and vast than ever before, like an ominous sign.
Countless people stopped to watch, hearts filled with anxiety and fear.
They feared something incredibly terrifying was within, something they were unwilling and afraid to face.
Rumbling!
The thunder roared, and the lightning flashed.
A human figure appeared within the thunderclouds!
Above the thunderclouds, there was someone!
