Villain : After Slacking Off, The Protagonist Collapse

Chapter 103

“Such a method exists? But where did he get the Demon Emperor’s blessing?” Jian Xue questioned. “If a real Demon Emperor exists, why is the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm’s seal still intact?”

“And if a true Demon Emperor exists, we would surely be aware of it!” Dongfang Mingyue still harbored doubts. The news of a Demon Emperor’s existence was immensely impactful. A Demon Emperor operates on a level comparable to that of a Great Emperor.

“The cultivation of Heavenly Demons differs from ours; they don’t need the Heavenly Heart Imprint for breakthroughs!”

“It should be said that we don’t need it either, but because the Great Dao here is incomplete, stepping into the Great Emperor realm necessitates the use of the Heavenly Heart Imprint! The loosening of the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm’s seal is also due to this Demon Emperor!”

“He is unable to break the seal yet as he was gravely wounded and sealed within the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm by an Ancient Emperor!”

“After a million years, he has barely managed to recover! And has not yet returned to his prime!”

“Masters, you need not worry, within a hundred years this Demon Emperor will not leave the seal!” Jiang Chen explained.

He knew the emergence of a Demon Emperor would indeed bring a significant impact. The deterrent power of the Demon Emperor was tremendous.

Should this Demon Emperor leave the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm, no one in the entire Nine Heavens Realm could stop him. Unless all forces united, perhaps there would be a chance to annihilate him.

All Emperor Weapons being used together could indeed kill the adversary. But such a move was clearly impossible. Some would always submit, and others would not wish to do so.

“A hundred years is short! It will pass in the blink of an eye! It seems we cannot be too complacent!” Dongfang Mingyue sighed deeply, somewhat helpless.

A hundred years was not much for beings of their level. Just a single seclusion, and it would pass in the blink of an eye. Look at the Second Elder and the Great Elder, who were in seclusion for a thousand years.

“What’s there to fear? Even if the Demon Emperor really emerges, we can divert the disaster eastward, leading them to the forbidden zone!”

“If we tell those old monsters that the Demon Emperor possesses the path to immortality, what do you think they would do?” Jiang Chen asked with a slight smile.

He had already thought of a strategy. For the old monsters in the forbidden zone, the temptation of immortality was greater than anything else. Even a sliver of hope was enough to drive these beings mad.

Once these old monsters go insane, it would be extremely terrifying. Besides, Jiang Chen had a backup plan. The Dao Fruit was his last resort. If there was no other way to resolve the issue, he would only allow one person to refine and swallow the Dao Fruit, rapidly increasing their cultivation.

However, this measure was not to be used unless it was absolutely necessary. Jiang Chen believed he could resolve the matter within a hundred years.

“This isn’t a good plan! If those madmen are alarmed, the calamity will be no less severe than the emergence of the Demon Emperor!” Dongfang Mingyue sighed.

Those undying old beings were all mad, and every time they emerged, they would inevitably bring disaster to the Nine Heavens Realm.

Therefore, unless it was a time of utter despair, those old beings should not be awakened. Otherwise, the Demon Emperor would remain unresolved, leading to even more disasters.

“That’s the last resort! When calamity arrives, if the Holy Land can preserve itself, that would be good enough. How could it protect the entire Nine Heavens Realm!” Jiang Chen’s attitude was broad-minded, or perhaps he was not very concerned.

At their level of cultivation, worrying too much was futile. He was not a saint who harbored the world in his heart and naturally would not overly concern himself. Of course, the main reason was that he was confident in resolving everything.

“Let’s take it one step at a time!” Dongfang Mingyue sighed deeply, her face clouded with worry.

Without the Demon Emperor, she would not be so concerned.

The Primordial Holy Land could handle any situation. Even if the whole world turned against them, it would be the same.

However, the addition of the Demon Emperor changed everything. A being on the level of a Great Emperor could sweep across the entire Nine Heavens Realm, making everyone bow in submission.

“If those undying old beings really know there’s a method to attain immortality from him they would desire more than anyone to slay the Demon Emperor, devour his flesh and blood, and annihilate his soul!” Jiang Chen responded.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore; time is still long! Rather than pondering these matters, it’s better to deal with current issues! How will you handle the Gu family?”

Due to the previous events, the Dongfang Mingyue had immense trust in Jiang Chen. She implicitly wished to hear Jiang Chen’s opinion before taking action herself.

“What else can be done! With the Gu family having done such things, they must be directly erased! Spread the news; no one will speak for them, and it will be seen as acting in accordance with Heaven’s will!”

“Moreover, handle it quickly, or else other forces will get involved! Otherwise, when the time comes, the share of spoils will be less, and we should also be wary of the Gu family’s Emperor Weapon!”

“After all, it’s an Emperor Weapon; if not controlled properly, it could have a tremendous impact!” Jiang Chen advised.

“This won’t be a problem!”

Since action was to be taken against the Gu family, handling the Emperor Weapon was crucial. This was unquestionable.

“The Gu family cannot be left alone; they are a menace! If left untouched, and the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm truly breaks its seal in the future, the Gu family would not become one of the human race’s forces but instead become the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm’s blade!”

“So it’s better to resolve this earlier, thus cutting off future dangers!”

In the original story, the Gu family was known for their evil deeds. Countless human race powerhouses suffered heavy losses due to the Gu family’s betrayal.

Days later. A storm was brewing, and the once-peaceful Gu family was enveloped in a layer of gloom.
