Chapter 402: Chapter 403 Evil Thoughts, Oil Lamp!

Emperor’s Power!

This was a terrifying ability that only martial artists with at least Half-Emperor Cultivation could possess.

And Yang Yan felt the Emperor’s Power here!

“The Emperor’s Power he released wasn’t as strong as mine, not even as powerful as the Emperor’s Power I showcased when I first obtained the Emperor Corpse!” Yang Yan thought to himself.

The Emperor’s Power he felt wasn’t strong!

Of course!

*This was from his perspective!*

*After all, his Emperor Body had long surpassed the strength of ordinary Great Emperors!*

*Even when facing the Emperor’s Power of a true Great Emperor, he could remain unmoved.*

*But if the martial artist here wasn’t him,*

*but rather someone from the Dragon Transformation Realm, they would have already been crushed by this level of Emperor’s Power!*

“Let’s go in and take a look!”

As long as the opponent wasn’t a soul-cultivating powerhouse, with the strength of his Emperor Body, he could fearlessly face any martial artist!

Moreover, he now knew that the True Profound Immortal Pupil possessed the ability to transfer soul attacks through spatial means.

*Even if faced with a powerful soul-cultivating martial artist, he could still hold his own!*

Yang Yan’s hand continued to exert force, pushing open the cut on the stone wall in front of him, resembling a stone door!

The scene inside came into his view.

It was a dark passage; no matter how deep, Yang Yan could not see the end with his True Profound Immortal Pupil.

He entered the dark passage, which could only accommodate one person to walk through.

It was very narrow!

The deeper Yang Yan went, the more he felt the suppression of the Emperor’s Power growing stronger!

After walking for the time it took to burn one stick of incense, he could see the end.

It was a wooden door, somewhat decayed, its existence unknown for how long!

He approached slowly and stood before the wooden door.

Listening intently, he heard a voice coming from inside the door.

“Where is it, where is it!”

It was the voice of an anxious elder!

“Is there someone?”

*Anyone who lived here was clearly unusual!*

*Especially this person, who bore the Emperor’s Power, their strength absolutely formidable!*

“Be careful!” Yang Yan mused, remaining vigilant.

He wanted to first use the True Profound Immortal Pupil to see through the wooden door and see who was inside!

However, he didn’t know what material this wooden door was made of.

Despite its decrepit state, with his True Profound Immortal Pupil’s ability, he could only see about a meter beyond the door!

Within this meter, there was nothing, still a stretch of darkness!

Yang Yan’s hand touched the wooden door, and he could feel it.

This wooden door’s material was similar to the Emperor’s Coffin he once lay in!

Knock, knock, knock!

He knocked on the wooden door, ready to test the person inside!

“Who!” a voice questioned from inside the door.

Yang Yan’s eyes shifted slightly.

“I got lost and wanted to ask for directions!” he casually found a reason to say.

“Someone asking for directions? Another one asking for directions?” the person inside said, approaching the wooden door.

With a creak, the wooden door opened!

A wave of decaying air wafted out.

The terrifying Emperor’s Power was fully displayed.

Yet for Yang Yan, possessing the Emperor Body, this Emperor’s Power had no substantial effect!

He slightly lowered his head, looking at a stooped elder standing in front of him with a cold expression.

The elder stared at Yang Yan, making him feel very uncomfortable!

The elder before him was very odd!

No matter how you looked at it, he didn’t seem human!

“Come in, it’s windy outside!” the elder said.

Turning his head, he clasped his hands behind his back and walked inside.

At this moment, Yang Yan could also see the scene inside the door!

The walls inside were sheer stone, incredibly smooth, without any decorations.

There was a stone bed and a stone table in the room!

The stone bed had nothing on it, just a thick layer of accumulated dust, and the stone table was equally dusty, with a dust-covered oil lamp placed in the middle!

Mysterious!

The entire room, not only small but also bizarrely eerie.

*If this elder lived here, why was there so much dust?*

“This is not an Illusion Realm, and there is no well here,

so this is not the source of the Wind aura!” Yang Yan pondered.

*He did not rashly enter!*

“Why aren’t you coming in?” the elder noticed Yang Yan standing at the door, turning back to ask.

Yang Yan touched the tip of his nose.

“I just want to ask for directions, no need to enter your house.

Better not to dirty the elder’s room, that would be bad!”

The elder snorted softly.

“You’re more polite than the last person who came asking for directions!

Not coming in is fine, suit yourself!” he said indifferently.

The elder then continued to wander around the room as if searching for something.

“Where are you headed?” he asked while still looking for something.

“I want to leave this region and go to a large city,” Yang Yan replied.

The elder did not doubt the truth of Yang Yan’s words!

Moreover, Yang Yan noticed the elder seemed unaware that the outside had changed!

“Leaving this region? Going to a large city?

Simple, walk back out.

Then go right and keep walking, don’t look back and you’ll find your way out!

By the way!

Once you’re out, don’t tell anyone you saw me here!

I don’t want to be disturbed!” the elder responded.

“Okay, thank you, elder,” Yang Yan said. “Elder, I wanted to ask, who was the last person to ask you for directions?”

Upon hearing this question, dark energy began to rise from the elder’s body.

Making the entire room even darker and more sinister!

“Don’t mention him; he was a thief, he stole the lamp wick from my oil lamp!”

The elder seemed very angry!

“Elder, what are you looking for?” Yang Yan asked again.

*He seemed oblivious to the black energy emanating from the elder.*

*And this dark energy had already manifested something like a Primordial Beast, displaying a terrifying aspect!*

“The lamp oil, I don’t know where I put it!” the elder said before turning his head back.

“I’ve found the lamp oil; do you have a fire? Lend it to me!

Let me light the oil lamp to illuminate the room?”

“I have fire and can lend it to you!

But without a lamp wick, how can you light the oil lamp?” Yang Yan retorted.

The elder paused, his gaze fixed on Yang Yan.

“You’re right, without a lamp wick, only with lamp oil, how can I light the oil lamp!”

At this point, Yang Yan felt a sense of danger!

The elder inside the room began to twist entirely!

“Use your soul to make the lamp wick!

Use your flesh and blood to make the lamp oil!

Then lend me your fire, and wouldn’t the oil lamp be able to be lit?”

The elder’s voice suddenly became excited!

And at this moment, Yang Yan fully recognized what the elder in front of him was!

*It should be an obsession transformed from an Emperor-Level powerhouse!*

*However, having existed here for too long, it had been corroded by Demonic Qi and had become a malevolent thought!*

*And this malevolent thought had always been trapped by the obsession of not being able to light the oil lamp, never leaving this place, and not having seen many people!*

*So it didn’t understand the changes in the outside world, making its mindset very simple!*

“Oh? You’re very ruthless, making me provide everything!

You even want my life!

Finally, lighting the oil lamp, illuminating yourself, warming yourself!

Yet causing me great loss!” Yang Yan said, a bold idea forming in his mind!

“I’m not ruthless, I’m very kind, I also don’t want to kill anyone!

But I don’t want to be stuck here anymore, I don’t want to wait any longer, I wish to light the oil lamp soon and leave this place!

And sacrificing your life to accomplish myself seems very worthwhile!”

The elder said he was kind, not wanting to kill, but exuded a thick killing aura!

*This was due to the influence of Demonic Qi, causing psychological distortion!*

“Kind, huh? Not wanting to kill?

How about you listen to my suggestion, maybe you won’t have to force yourself to kill me, and yet be able to light the oil lamp!

Moreover, you’ll have the Immortal Fire, keeping the oil lamp ever-burning!

Allowing both of us to win!” Yang Yan said calmly.

The elder’s eyes sharpened.

“Immortal Fire?”

Yang Yan nodded.

“Correct, it needs no lamp oil, no lamp wick to burn.

It will never extinguish, and you won’t need to search for any lamp oil or lamp wick again!”
