Underground space.
Chen Fan never expected that there would be a cave underground.
The earth's milk converged into a small lake, a treasure of heaven and earth.
A faint fragrance spread.
And in the lake, a corpse floated quietly.
Approaching the Emperor's corpse, one actually felt no deathly aura.
Even after a hundred years, this body remained in its original state.
"Buzz."
As if sensing Chen Fan's presence, the Emperor's corpse trembled slightly.
Then, that body actually sat up.
Floating on the lake, it opened its eyes.
"You're resurrected?" Chen Fan was shocked.
"No."
The Emperor's corpse did not speak, but a voice entered Chen Fan's ears: "It's just the memory of the body."
Oh... I understand.
This was the power of the Heavenly Emperor, his soul gone, but his body immortal.
After endless years, he could finally return.
This time, the Emperor's corpse showed no anger, but calmly said, "You are very courageous, very bold. I thought you wouldn't dare to see me."
"Why wouldn't I come?"
Chen Fan retorted, "We had a deal, a cooperative agreement. I, as a person, never break my word. Do you?"
I won't break my word... Will you?
Of course, Chen Fan didn't say this out loud.
His gaze was filled with interest as he looked at the Emperor's corpse, wanting to get the answer he needed.
"Haha." The Emperor's corpse laughed heartily, "I have roamed the world, how could I deceive a weakling like you?"
Chen Fan was strong, but in the eyes of the former Heavenly Emperor, he was still a weakling.
"Alright."
Chen Fan smiled, "Then you can dissipate your Great Dao, let me inherit your power, and help you kill Yi Fu."
"Can do."
The Emperor's corpse was extremely pained.
"Boom." The Great Dao of Death reappeared.
This time, Chen Fan truly saw how vast the rules and Great Dao of a Heavenly Emperor were.
He had been dead for several hundred years, and much of his power had been lost.
But the river of the Great Dao, stretching ten thousand feet, exuded a deadly aura, making the Emperor's corpse appear like a deity controlling death.
"Come."
The Emperor's corpse did not open his eyes, but Chen Fan felt a smile in his tone.
The Emperor's corpse looked at Chen Fan, "You can attack my Great Dao of Death again."
"Weren't you just doing that?"
"Now... please continue."
Chen Fan looked at the Emperor's corpse, "Alright."
Saying that, he leaped into the air and punched out.
"Rumble."
A torrent of deathly energy surged forth, and Chen Fan's punch was directly shattered.
Bang!
Chen Fan was sent flying backward, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, feeling an irresistible force impacting his body.
Too strong, impossible to resist.
The Emperor's corpse opened his eyes at some point, his eyes of death staring at Chen Fan, "You actually dare to attack."
Chen Fan smiled, "Does a dignified Heavenly Emperor break his word?"
"No, no, no."
The Emperor's corpse shook his head, "From the very beginning, you never intended to cooperate with me properly."
"Who said that?"
Chen Fan retorted, "How do you know I didn't intend to cooperate with you properly? I was sincere..."
"We are all clear-sighted. Why deny it?"
Chen Fan "..."
"Alas."
Chen Fan sighed, "I was truly prepared to cooperate with you, but alas, you are too cunning, too suspicious."
"Heh heh."
The Emperor's corpse sneered coldly, "So, you dare to deceive this Heavenly Emperor. Are you prepared to bear the consequences?"
I'm not!
Although I'm not, I won't say it.
Chen Fan shook his head, "Since you're not prepared to continue cooperating, I'll take my leave."
The Emperor's corpse was stunned, "You are truly audacious."
Chen Fan turned and waved, "Goodbye."
He actually left.
The disregard in his attitude caused the Emperor's corpse's expression to darken.
Boom!
The Great Dao of Death immediately erupted.
The power of death pinned Chen Fan in place.
"What are you doing?"
This power was too immense for Chen Fan to resist.
"Ha ha ha."
The Emperor's corpse laughed heartily, "You will know soon enough."
Saying that, the power of the Great Dao of Death penetrated Chen Fan's body.
At the same time, Chen Fan's river of rules, without his control, appeared.
At the bottom of the river of rules, within the death attribute, the mark left by the Emperor's corpse appeared.
Rumble!
The power of the Great Dao of Death infiltrated the river of rules.
Chen Fan's body and soul were no longer under his control.
At the same time, a powerful force acted upon his mind.
The Heavenly Emperor appeared in his sea of consciousness.
"You want to possess me?" Chen Fan's expression was grim.
"Didn't you already know?" the Emperor's corpse retorted.
Chen Fan thought for a moment and nodded, "Indeed."
"Since you are so confident, then let's see if it is I who possesses you, or you who swallows my power."
Rumble!
The conversation between the two in the world did not delay the erosion of the river of rules by the Great Dao of Death.
Chen Fan gradually lost control of his body and his command over the river of rules.
The Heavenly Emperor was too strong; Chen Fan had no power to resist.
In his sea of consciousness, his lake of souls was also being transformed and devoured by the Heavenly Emperor.
Turning into his own soul power.
"Haha." The Emperor's corpse's laughter echoed in the sea of consciousness.
His soul would be reborn by borrowing Chen Fan's soul power.
At that time, he would break through death and return.
Chen Fan's soul grew weaker and weaker, the immense loss of power making his soul dry and withered.
"Splash."
From the lake of souls, the Emperor's corpse walked out, his soul full and completely restored.
Chen Fan's soul, however, had already touched the brink of death.
The Emperor's corpse looked at Chen Fan coldly, "Where are your backup plans? Aren't you going to use them?"
We are all hunters. If you want to get something for free from someone, you can't believe they don't have a backup plan.
Chen Fan smiled.
His withered soul was on the verge of annihilation, so his smile was a ghastly sight.
His voice had also become much hoarser, "Do you want to see? I'll fulfill your wish."
As soon as he finished speaking.
"Buzz!"
In the sea of consciousness, four divine weapons suddenly appeared.
The Four Divine Weapons were Chen Fan's greatest trump card, and always had been.
To possess someone, one must devour their soul and their sea of consciousness.
Chen Fan had been prepared for this long ago.
That was why he had placed the four divine weapons in his sea of consciousness so early.
"Oh?"
The appearance of the four divine weapons did not cause the Emperor's corpse to be terrified. Instead, his eyes showed a hint of shock, "Divine weapons."
The Emperor's corpse suddenly became excited, "Divine weapons, of the same origin as Yi Fu's Heavenly Crown. You actually possess four of them."
"You... are from the ancestral land..."
Ancestral land?
What was that?
The Emperor's corpse's gaze was filled with greed, even a trace of excitement.
He saw the confusion in Chen Fan's eyes and said, "The ancestral land is what others call the wasteland and the lower realm."
There were quite a few names.
Chen Fan smiled faintly, "Looking at you, you don't seem to be in a hurry. So, can you explain to me why you call it the ancestral land, while others call it the lower realm and the wasteland?"
"When I possess you, you will know everything, haha..."
