"What if I say no?" Chen Lan spoke calmly, squeezing forcefully.

Boom!

Dianmu exploded instantly, transforming into a blood mist and vanishing from the world, dead beyond dead.

A piece of trash that doesn't even dare to show his face, thinks he's worthy of demanding he release someone?

[Damn it, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!]

The mysterious master behind him was utterly furious. His disciple had been killed right in front of him, how could he endure this?

Suddenly, Chen Lan's pupils contracted slightly, and he shouted sharply, "Go!"

He was speaking to Emperor Luo Tianlong and Tao Tian Demon Venerable beside him.

With these words, the two didn't hesitate and immediately ran into the distance.

At the same time, countless golden chains emerged from the dark clouds, like giant pythons flying toward Chen Lan.

"Damn, these chains even have Spatial Dao Power, the opponent is very proficient in the Great Dao of Space, at least at major accomplishment!" Chen Lan exclaimed in surprise, quickly summoning the Slaughter Blood Sword and infusing it with Power Dao Power.

These chains imbued with Spatial Dao Power cannot be avoided. No matter where you go, they seem to have GPS, knowing your location, locking onto you, you could escape to the ends of the earth and still not elude them!

[Power Dao Power, you actually have the Great Dao, though in my eyes, it's just mediocre]

The voice resounded once more, and the speed of the chains increased, fast as lightning, rushing before Chen Lan, trying to bind him.

"You want to catch me? Dream on," Chen Lan said coldly, slashing with his sword, blood-red Sword Qi streaking across the firmament, illuminating the sky as if tearing a bloody, resplendent gash open.

The Sword Qi swept through the chains, cutting them apart instantly. Yet unexpectedly, the moment the chains were severed, they reconnected and continued flying toward Chen Lan.

Upon seeing this, Chen Lan's pupils contracted slightly. Are these chains truly unbreakable?

[Hahaha, these are God-locking Chains, indestructible, uncuttable, no matter how much effort you exert, they will not break]

Hearing this, Chen Lan frowned slightly, continuously unleashing Sword Qi to buy time and devise a solution.

"Is it really that terrifying, what should the Great Emperor do?"

"My goodness, this is cheating, auto-locking hacks for sure."

"So unfair, hang in there, Great Emperor!"

The crowd below watched as Chen Lan repeatedly severed the chains, which rejoined immediately, seemingly unbreakable. This was truly a tough situation.

This must be the most troublesome opponent the Great Emperor had encountered. The opponent's level was also that of a Supreme Emperor, but their cultivation time was much longer than the Great Emperor's, and they knew more. The disparity seemed quite vast.

"These God-locking Chains are such a cheat, Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao probably can't handle it," Peng Dahai said with a frown, gritting his teeth. He very much wanted to go up and help, but given his own strength, he would just be sending his life away, so there was no need.

"We can only rely on the Great Emperor," Daoist Qingfeng sighed. Their strength was too weak to be of any help. If not for the Great Emperor, Blue Star might have already been gone.

"Chen Lan, hang in there," Yan Yu clasped her hands together, praying inwardly. She didn't want Chen Lan to die after just finding out he was Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao.

"Damn it!" Luo Tao clenched his fists tightly, veins popping, full of anger.

He wasn't angry at others, but at himself.

Watching Chen Lan struggling to face the enemy while being unable to offer any help, he felt angry at his own uselessness just thinking about it.

"Hang in there, Chen Lan. You must live. If you die, I'll fight that guy to the death!" Gu Ying worriedly thought to herself.

Countless people watched Chen Lan in the sky, their hearts on edge. If Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao died, they would all be doomed without the protection of the Great Emperor—they'd be nothing but lambs to the slaughter!

Meanwhile, on a distant skyscraper, an old man and a middle-aged man stood on the rooftop.

"Monkey Brother, should we go help?" the middle-aged man looked at the old man and asked.

"No need, if he can't even solve this, then he shouldn't think of solving future troubles," the old man shook his head, looking at Chen Lan with a calm smile.

Chen Lan, will you die here?

If you die, then your revenge plan would be ruined.

...

Above the firmament.

Chen Lan continuously dodged while attacking the chains. Though he couldn't cut them, he could buy some time.

Suddenly, he stopped, eyes lighting up; he had thought of a solution.

[Accepted your fate? Ant from the lower realm]

"Ant? Are you introducing yourself?" Chen Lan responded with a faint smile, as a vertical pupil appeared between his brows, emitting a brilliant, dazzling light.

Under the dark clouds, he seemed like a bright sun, dazzlingly blinding.

"That's a Celestial Eye?!" Lei Gong exclaimed, suddenly looking at Heaven-Howling Dog, "Did you teach Yang Jian's divine techniques to him?"

That was Yang Jian's Innate Divine Techniques, never passed on to anyone else, though on the last day, Yang Jian wanted Heaven-Howling Dog to have a life-saving technique, so he passed it to him.

Yet now, Heaven-Howling Dog had passed it on to Chen Lan.

The Four Great Heavenly Kings all gazed at Heaven-Howling Dog, the Innate Divine Techniques just given to someone from the New World?

"Of course, he didn't disappoint me, realizing the Innate Divine Techniques in such a short time. Had I not known he wasn't my master, I would have thought he was Yang Jian," Heaven-Howling Dog replied with a faint smile.

Tao Tian Demon Venerable, seeing the vertical pupil between Chen Lan's brows, also smiled.

He had witnessed Yang Jian's Celestial Eye before, and had been defeated by it. Just one move, and he lost.

He knew how powerful this Celestial Eye was, now it was a sure thing.

Many in the Profound Dust Realm had seen Yang Jian's Celestial Eye, as he was famous for it.

Besides Yang Jian, virtually no one was born with a third eye, nor did anyone possess that divine technique.

Originally Yang Jian was the number one general in the Celestial Court, many thought he would be the first to break through to Celestial Emperor, but unexpectedly, a Sun Wukong emerged forcefully, undefeated across the world, becoming the first to break through to Celestial Emperor.

Unfortunately, Sun Wukong also went missing, his life or death unknown.

On the other side, on the rooftop.

"Damn, Yang Jian's Celestial Eye is on that person, who passed it to him?" Bajie exclaimed in surprise.

He desired that Celestial Eye too and had once asked Yang Jian if he could learn it, but Yang Jian slapped him flying, and he had to leave, angry but not daring to speak up. From then on, he dared not ask again.

Wasn't Yang Jian saying this divine technique wouldn't be passed to outsiders?

How did it end up with this person?

"Heaven-Howling Dog passed it to him," Sun Wukong said.

With this divine technique, the success rate of the plan increased.

[Celestial Eye, it's a Celestial Eye again, this damned Celestial Eye, how is it on you?!]

At this moment, the mysterious person above the clouds suddenly spoke in fear, seemingly very afraid of the Celestial Eye.

Upon hearing this, Heaven-Howling Dog's body trembled, frowning in worry:

"Indeed, the master is really up there."
