Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1669

Contrary to the strange antics of the Yang Hellflame Emperor and the Fiendish Yin Empress, whose bodies now almost stuck together as they shamelessly romanced, the Deprived Soulstir Emperor had his brows twitching.

Not only him, but the few others also had their expressions changing in various ways. They felt that they could take the Emperor of Death with them to conquer the Soul Palace, even if just for show, and would the Four Great Righteous Sects dare make a move when the Emperor of Death is together with them, plundering the Soul Palace, which is within his right as Soul Emperor Zealwonder offended him?

However, it backfired on them now.

Since they know that Soul Palace already fell and belonged to Emperor of Death, then it made it truly difficult for them to touch the Soul Palace as no one wanted to die of mysterious circumstances.

That was just too scary, not able to see death arrive in front of them, not to mention the enormous threat this wicked wolf, Earth Dragon Queen, and the Hex Demoness possessed towards them. They all were all able to fight above two levels, especially the Earth Dragon Queen and the Emperor of Death, who was said to have prowess that allowed them to cross four levels above, although it was still vague.

Still, they didn't want to offend such era-changing geniuses even if they had about a ten percent chance to kill them all at this moment through their equipped legacy artifacts.

First of all, they never intended to offend the Emperor of Death, and that's why even the Infernal Lightning Emperor made concessions on first meeting and didn't talk back, but now that their target, the weakened Soul Palace, was actually in the Emperor of Death's control, they didn't know what to do!

Just... truly go back home?

The Emperor of Death's voice resounded in their heads as their expressions became quite unpleasant.

"Emperor of Death, can we have access to those Soul Forging Cultivation Manuals?"

"I refuse." Davis appeared amused, "Why would I want you wicked path people to become strong and unreasonably inflict pain and cruelty on more innocent people? Could it be that you're all going to sign a Blood Soul Contract saying that you won't be needlessly cruel anymore? Perhaps, if you all can do that, I might consider giving them to you."

"Perhaps."

Deprived Soulstir Emperor sighed, his pale countenance becoming quite exhausted before his lips devilishly curved.

"At least, the Emperor of Death is honest with us and not devious or evasive like those righteous fools. Sigh, you're a person of the wicked path, but you're just not willing to accept it."

"Think what you want." Davis flicked his sleeve, "I'll additionally warn you if the information that I control the Soul Palace leaks somehow, I will consider you all enemies because only you people know of it, so be mindful of that."

"..."

The expressions of the wicked path hegemons became unpleasant while the Deprived Soulstir Emperor spoke again.

"We will be mindful. However, before we leave, we'll leave with a warning. Never trust those peak characters from the Four Great Righteous Sects. They have two or more faces they show to the world while we mostly have one."

He clasped his hands, followed by the seven other hegemonic powerhouses clasping their hands towards him with indifferent expressions before they left, stepping inside a spatial tunnel as they exited.

Davis watched them leave completely, and so did others like Ancestor Dian Alstreim and many others. He probably figured that news that the wicked path hegemons visited him, the Emperor of Death would spread like throughout the righteous path and even the wicked path like wildfire.

'Ugh, more headache...'

"They're some talkative bunch, huh..."

Evelynn spoke at this moment, her expression possessing a light smile.

"Talkative because we're powerful than them." Davis shook his head, "With all those threats I made, they would've killed me for it if I was weak. In this case, the righteous path is more forgiving if a ruling authority is present, although quick deaths are rewarded many times that it could be said to be the same as the wicked path."

Evelynn stared at him before she adorably blinked her eyes.

"I'm contradicting myself, huh?"

Davis awkwardly smiled as he looked at Evelynn nod her head the next second.

"Well, it just proves the point that both the righteous path and the wicked path follow the path of survival of the fittest, but the wicked path is more true to it. That's all. People are just mad that life isn't going their way, as always."

"Husband is right..."

Evelynn displayed a charming smile while Davis turned to look towards the distance.

"All-Seeing Emperor. Are you mad that you didn't get to hear anything?"

*Whoosh!~*

A winged silhouette suddenly rushed out before revealing itself to be a white-winged eagle-like fey.

"Emperor of Death, I didn't mean to hide... I mean, you all already found my presence but still tolerated my existence as though I'm an ant."

The All-Seeing Emperor wryly chuckled.

"If you want your All-Seeing Tower Branch to exist in my Territory, you should really take some time to talk to me."

Davis appeared amused as if he threatened All-Seeing Emperor, but the latter reacted as if it was a plus as he became excited.

"Oh, I'm really interested to know what happened today, the encounter with the wicked path. It'll definitely sell more, and I can share the benefits with your eminence! We all stand to gain the end!"

"Not so fast, bird-brain."

The All-Seeing Emperor's excited expression froze on hearing Davis's insult as though he didn't expect it.

"Surprised that I'm not polite? Of course, do you know the word privacy? You're trampling on mine now."

"Okay, I'll just leave then..."

*Bzzz!~*

The All-Seeing Emperor tried to retreat, but a massive soul pressure suddenly weighed on him, suppressing his movements while he couldn't believe that he became unable to move even slightly unless he tried with full force.

"You know what? I'm going to hurl insults at you and see your true face. Are you really just after wealth and have no other emotions? If that's the case, scratch the insults. If I gave you my entire wealth but said that I want you to be ripped piece by piece, including your soul, would you allow me to do so?"

Davis reached out his hand as though he was going to grab the All-Seeing Emperor's neck. The latter didn't tremble but purely looked at him with an indifferent eye, as though he didn't mind dying today.

"..."

There was a slight pause between them before Davis closed his hand and took it back, displaying a knowing smile.

"I didn't think you had a technique that created an avatar. No wonder you're so complacent and looking down on every powerhouse you meet..."

"...!"

The All-Seeing Emperor's eyes widened as his body shook.

"Only people who have completely given up on life are indifferent to death. You, on the other hand, are completely wealth-minded, but you only have the luxury to be wealth-minded because you're in some safe place, perfectly knowing that no one other than users of Karma Laws and Hex Laws can kill you."

With each word from the Emperor of Death, the All-Seeing Emperor trembled, not able to know how his secret was found us. His avatar was perfectly three-cultivation systems and not the single or double cultivation system avatar techniques where they could be differentiated. Nevertheless, the next words he heard made him truly panic.

"It doesn't matter where you are, for I can still kill you with my Death Laws. Do you want to try my mysterious prowess?"

Extreme panic was visible in the All-Seeing Emperor's big eye.

If his avatar ever got killed by the Emperor of Death, his default plan was to wait until the Emperor of Death ascended and then come out of hidden seclusion to once again get a hold of his empire, but it seems like his life was already going to be over?

"No...!"

The All-Seeing Emperor hastily shook his head.

"I promise! I won't spy on your eminence ever again. Please let me go!!!"

He screamed, his voice even resounding as if gawking like a bird when suddenly he felt the pressure disappear, making him feel dumbfounded as he gazed at the Emperor of Death, who smiled.

"There you have it, the fear of death that I didn't see before."

Davis inwardly relaxed because he perceived that the biggest threat to him, no, his and his family's reputation, had been this bird brain who could manipulate information against him and his people as he pleased, and seeing no fear in him when even the peak hegemons possessed it kind of pissed him off, which later, now, became clear.

Five minutes later, Davis brought the All-Seeing Emperor to an empty Guest Palace, leisurely sat and served tea.

"Now, I have a lot to ask, but the first and foremost thing is, why is there a massive barrier blocking the path to the northeast side of the Fifty-Two Territories that extends all the way from the Twilight Shade Valley to the eastern magical beast powers? Did the spirits cast that Territory-Wide barrier?"

"Huh?" The All-Seeing Emperor was humbled by the Emperor of Death treating him with hospitality while also having two beauties stand behind him, ready to pierce him if he were to make a sudden move.

He never knew that the wicked wolf was such a blinding beauty, but still, he became confused.

Why would the Emperor of Death ask about the Sealed Lands? Was there anything of interest there?

"I won't lie. It's not possible to even enter the Sealed Land of the Spirits, so it's useless to talk about it."

Davis frigidly looked at the All-Seeing Emperor, who trembled while feeling that he shouldn't be impertinent while the former lowered his head.

'Yeah, I can see that as my avatar is kind of getting chased right now...'

In some unknown Territory, Davis looked at the ice world around him. If it was just that, he would not be bothered too much but looking at the icy-white-skinned, crowned beauties all gaze at him with their frigid gazes, he scratched his head and waved his hand.

"Hello, beautiful spirits...?"

*Sila!*

*Boom!~*

A bunch of sharp ice shards and ice boulders were thrown at him without mercy as the sounds of air being shredded and loud bangs from boulders breaking could be heard!
