Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1659

'Heavens...! This is gold!'

The All-Seeing Emperor's expression was full of smiles as he kept recording the scene with his big eye. He knew that this was going to be big!

The Vast Sky Emperor disturbed the Earth Dragon Queen with courtship while she was mourning for her late husband?

His illustrious name was going to be dragged down to the mud if this were to be true!

The other three Emperors looked at the Vast Sky Emperor with confusion visible on their faces.

Didn't he say that his courtship with Isabella was just going to set sail and that he had to stop for a while due to receiving injuries?

What is going on here?

"Ridiculous! It's time that you moved on...!"

The Vast Sky Emperor waved his hands, harrumphing in distaste.

"Whether I move on or not is not up to you to decide."

Isabella waved her golden armament, the sheer force of it stirring up brazen wind that cut down the sparsely populated trees below before she pointed it at the Vast Sky Emperor again.

"Where in the world is it written that I should choose you or the four of you only? I presume there are a lot of better men who are stronger once I ascend, so kneel and apologize for causing trouble to me or face the consequences later. It isn't difficult for me to kill you once I reach your level."

"You...!"

The Vast Sky Emperor was about to say if she dared but ultimately suppressed himself as he narrowed his eyes.

"Earth Dragon Queen, don't take it too far. It is normal for a man of my caliber to want you, and it was merely I who made the first move. If not-"

"I don't care." Isabella coldly interrupted, "You reap what you sow since you made the first move, similar to when people reap the benefits when they make the first move. Now eat the consequences and apologize while kneeling, or else..."

"Hmph! What are you going to do about it?"

Vast Sky Emperor flicked his sleeves as he sneered.

"You're not stronger than me at the moment, so I would advise you to behave properly."

Isabella took her gaze off of him and looked at the others.

"Karmic Guardian Emperor, Mandate Emperor, and Starnova Emperor. If Vast Sky Emperor doesn't leave this place, I'm going back. There are no talks whatsoever."

"...!?"

The four Emperors flinched in shock before the Mandate Emperor quickly spoke.

"Earth Dragon Queen, you can't leave just like that. Today, you are to give the key as we discussed a year ago."

"Key?" Isabella scoffed, "I just told you to all wait until a year, and you all mistook that as my acceptance? How naive."

"Earth Dragon Queen..." The Karmic Guardian Emperor shook his head, "As peak powerhouses, our patience and kindness are limited. Otherwise, we are the ones who will suffer. Despite that, we gave you respect, kept the Dragon Families from making a move, and provided you time to mourn your late husband, so please don't test us."

"Hmph, trying to make me emotional?" Isabella looked away before she smirked at them, "Too bad, I already gave the key to someone else."

"You're unnecessarily forcing us."

The Karmic Guardian Emperor looked unamused.

Obviously, none of them believed her words.

Meanwhile, the All-Seeing Emperor knew that they were talking about the Forsaken Phoenix Realm, but he didn't dare say anything, knowing that they wouldn't ignore him.

"I'll tell you all one last time. Remove the Vast Sky Emperor from this place, and we can talk."

Isabella gave her ultimatum when suddenly all four of them moved.

*Whoosh!~*

*Roar!~*

Nadia's figure instantly flashed towards them as she went straight for the Vast Sky Emperor's head. Dark death energy sprang from the pores of her body while an ominous dark light shone from her, and it quickly extended as she formed her deathly domain. Her tendrils of darkness headed towards the four Emperors at the same time. However...

"You shall cease to move."

Abruptly, Nadia froze in mid-air while the dark death energy was abruptly erased by spatial fractures appearing around her. The world broke like glass and reformed, removing all the ominous death energy from the scene.

However, nothing happened to Nadia as she still remained unharmed. But, she bared her fangs against the four people that now surrounded her, performing hand signs of unknown nature while she could sense it resonating with the surroundings.

"Nadia, retreat!"

Nadia wanted to retreat already, but she felt her movements were extremely sluggish.

The Mandate Emperor trembled while appearing to have a difficult expression on his face. He couldn't believe the amount of will and energy he had imbue in this mandate in order to control this wicked magical beast that he felt his nose sting as if he was going to bleed any moment.

At the same time, Isabella arrived towards the Vast Sky Emperor and struck out with her golden sword. Her arm swung with full force that she could practically feel severing his head when a blinding light shone by his neck suddenly, blocking her attack and killing the impact with it.

"My palace's legacy artifact will protect me."

Learning from his previous mistake of letting an assassin get the better of him, the Vast Sky Emperor smiled at Isabella before he screamed, "Now!"

The Karmic Guardian Emperor suddenly punched the empty air as if he was punching the ground when a blinding light suddenly shot out from the ship they brought. The radiant light shot above them before it formed a rectangular barrier with Nadia in between and trapped in it.

*Roar!~*

Nadia roared as her body abruptly released an extremity of gaseous dark death energy, filling up the shining barrier with its wickedness. The light barrier trembled, looking as if it was about to break. However, resplendent light shone from the magnificent ship some distance away, causing the barrier to rebuilding itself as soon as it was destroyed.

On the other hand, Isabella rapidly retreated as she watched this scene with narrowed eyes.

The four Emperors actually stepped out of their positions while the formation still stayed active!

'It's not a four-man cell formation?'

Isabella was inwardly shocked and astonished to see that the barrier still held against Nadia's attacks.

"It's useless." The Karmic Guardian Emperor spoke, "I designed this sealing formation so that I can trap this wicked wolf in this light barrier and it is indeed the most effective barrier that I could make against it at the moment. It should last an hour, more than enough time for us to arrive at a real conclusion now."

"Why not a killing formation?" Isabella smirked, "You want to tame it? Without me, you cannot control my magical beast."

The Karmic Guardian Emperor shook his head.

"I created a sealing formation because I recognize that you will understand and join our endeavor. The wicked wolf never harmed us, so I can give it some credit. Therefore, I won't kill it, but I can seal it."

"Hmph, do you all honestly think that I care about that wolf inside?"

Isabella flicked her sleeves as she gathered energy in her fists.

Everyone already noticed that the Earth Dragon Queen had reached the Mid-Level Martial Overlord Stage, but they were still inwardly shocked to see her strength rise at the same margin.

She was almost as strong as them now. One more level, she could probably tower above them, more than this wicked wolf is capable of. The only saving grace was that there were four of them to deal with the woman and the magical beast, which made it easier for their side to win.

"Now we know that this one's probably the wicked wolf's double since you don't seem worried much." The Mandate Emperor spoke as he sighed, "If it's not, count us lucky. Still, only you and a single wicked wolf are left. We don't want to make any trouble. Just give us the key, and we'll be on our way."

Isabella gazed at them as an extraordinary dragon aura kept surging in her fists. The air around her trembled, and space kept rumbling around her fists, making the Starnova Emperor low-key tremble in fright as he could feel that this kind of power was already above his level.

"An hour, huh..."

Suddenly, Isabella dropped her hands as the power she gathered began to drop, almost as if she was giving up. Nadia also stopped struggling inside the barrier.

The four Emperors became astonished at their actions.

What's wrong? Could it be that they captured the real wicked wolf? Did they get lucky? But considering the magical beast was supposed to protect its mistress by its side, they weren't surprised that much.

*Clap!~*

*Clap!~*

*Clap!~*

Suddenly, clapping sounds echoed from the distance as a figure leisurely walked in mid-air. All five Emperors present had their eyes narrowed as they failed to sense such a person nearby them, instantly putting them all on alert as they turned to look at the source, only to witness a purple-robed youth.

*Badump!~*

Their hearts skipped a beat as their eyes went wide while their bodies went stiff.

"The Karmic Guardian Emperor is excellently skilled in formations, I must say..."

An amused voice echoed out as Davis spoke, "Then again, I have someone very close who will make a short work out of that barrier."

*Bzzz!~*

Abruptly, a huge red symbol appeared on the light barrier as if encroaching on it. The four Emperors didn't know what was going on when suddenly they heard a dangerous sound.

*Crack!~*

"Collapse~"

A melodious voice echoed amidst the cracking sound of the light barrier.

*Bang!~*

The light barrier shattered, revealing an unharmed Nadia and by her side stood a purple-robed woman whose third eye shone with a blood-red light before it closed. The next moment, the purple-robed woman opened her two eyes and gazed at the four Emperors, her alluring gaze momentarily shaking their hearts in terror.

"Hex... Demoness...!"

The Karmic Guardian Emperor's scalp turned numb, his expression changing as if he was meeting his natural enemy!

However, the other three reacted as if there was something more pressing to look at as they gazed at the blonde-haired youth while the All-Seeing Emperor's jaws literally dropped, his face appearing like a gawking eagle.

'Emperor of Death!? He's still alive...!?'

They all shouted in their hearts in unison, utterly dumbfounded at this scenario they found themselves in!
