Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1911

"What? He's your son?

Davis's brows narrowed, his expression becoming astonished. Then, a hint of apology appeared on his face as he clasped his hands towards the Vast Sky Emperor.

"Ah, how can I apologize for this mess? I used my lowest strength possible to attack them all at the same time since they teamed up against me, but who would've thought your son was so weak, unable to withstand even a hint of my power that I separated into four."

"...!"

The Vast Sky Emperor's expression became nothing short of ugly.

"Ah, I didn't mean to be rude. I had just entered the Peak-Level Law Sea Stage, so I might've been unable to control my energy properly. Sigh, that strand of extinction lightning that struck your son probably had more energy than the other three, so in reality, I was able to save three people from being crippled. Isn't this a service to the righteous powers? A righteous deed, as you would call it?"

"...!!!"

Oppressive might proliferated throughout the entire New Era Battle Arena as everyone witnessed immense rage fill the Vast Sky Emperor's expression. Lazar Skycloud spurted blood in copious amounts and fainted from grievance, and pure anger overwhelmed him. Even the other three participants who only had received serious injuries didn't dare to speak at this moment, even though they wanted to admit defeat.

It didn't take a genius to understand that the Emperor of Death was mocking the Vast Sky Emperor!

Davis was perfectly aware Lazar Skycloud was the Vast Sky Emperor's 67th son from his 79th concubine. The Vast Sky Emperor was the most licentious and heavy-handed of the four Great Righteous Sect Leaders. However, matters inside the Vast Sky Emperor Palace mostly stayed within it, and the Vast Sky Emperor also wasn't that active outside, unlike the other three powers.

But to Davis, who had the All-Seeing Tower's seamless intelligence network under his grasp, it was way easier for him to gather information on the secluded Vast Sky Emperor Palace. Since he was going to kill the Vast Sky Emperor sooner or later, he made sure to remember all characters related to him, intent on killing, or at least crippling and enslaving them so that the seeds of hatred are squashed right in its infancy.

As for the crowd, the moment they recognized the Vast Sky Emperor's family name, Skycloud, they knew Lazar Skycloud was somehow related to him but didn't know that he was actually his son.

Their expression became pale as they endured the silent pressure that spread throughout the New Era Battle Arena.

Meanwhile, the Vast Sky Emperor may have been humiliated and momentarily lost focus, but the other powerhouses at Peak-Level, especially the three other Great Leaders, vaguely sensed that the Emperor of Death's Essence Gathering Cultivation prowess had almost matched their strength, but they quickly brushed it away, not daring to believe it.

The Emperor of Death's soul was monstrous, but how could he now surmount their Essence Gathering Cultivation as though it was nothing!? They refused to believe such a notion even though a seed of doubt had already been planted in their hearts.

Even if they wanted to know the truth, they could only wait for the next round since the Emperor of Death's opponents had been essentially incapacitated, looking like they wanted to admit defeat as soon as possible.

"What are you looking at!? Hurry up and heal my son!"

The Vast Sky Emperor shouted at a Palace Elder a bit away from him and then... unceremoniously sat down while lowering his head. The Palace Elder was shocked but did not dare hesitate a single moment as he hurriedly shot towards the collapsed Lazar Skycloud, who was still having his essence energy leave his body.

Lazar Skycloud had been actually one of the few geniuses that they had decided to nurture, and he possessed a Vast Sea, breaking through the thirty-kilometer mark and entering the forty-kilometer mark, carving a name to himself in the Vast Sky Emperor Palace, and yet, he was crippled in a single strike by the Emperor of Death, and that too while ruthlessly deciding to team up with others, which was beneath their status.

The shock he was experiencing along with the multitude of people was not small, to say the least, but even he was feeling second-hand embarrassment for his Emperor and the sixty-seventh prince.

On the other hand, Abal Skywind, who was also a part of the Vast Sky Emperor Palace, looked as though he had escaped from a death sentence. The only saving grace was that he was not blood-related to the Vast Sky Emperor, and he knew all too well that the Emperor of Death had decided to spare him, letting him understand that the beef isn't with the Vast Sky Emperor Palace but with the Vast Sky Emperor himself!

'Oh? He actually withstood the humiliation? Guess his brain isn't dead yet...'

Meanwhile, Davis inwardly let out a disappointed sigh.

As per his information, the Vast Sky Emperor once massacred an entire High-Level Emperor Grade Family for publicly humiliating him, but he did so without even having his name on the massacre, manipulating countless people to do it for him. No one was aware except the All-Seeing Tower, but even then, they could not verify the true nature of the incident.

Therefore, Davis thought that this retarded Vast Trash Emperor would relentlessly attack him, not for his son but because of being shamed in public. However, it didn't turn out as expected.

Nevertheless, a snake that bided its time was certainly plotting for revenge!

"I admit defeat!"

Davis cast his gaze at his other opponents and received their surrender before he left, gracefully stepping on the sky as he headed towards the Alstreim Family's seating area.

When he arrived, he saw his women smiling with a wide smile as though they couldn't be any more proud, especially Mo Mingzhi, who was expecting something, felt like her horizons were widened even without Schleya entering the battle stage. However, a figure stepped out from a palanquin at this moment, making him hasten towards her a bit as he clasped her hand, wondering why she had come out.

It was none other than the Earth Dragon Queen.

The moment Isabella revealed herself, the radiance of the sun dimmed in their eyes. It was as though her golden robe was practically illuminating a part of that section, making them narrow their eyes, making them feel no wonder the Dragon Families lusted after her.

However, looking at her hand on her belly and previously informed by the Hex Demoness, they knew all too well that she had thoroughly become the Emperor of Death's woman.

"Back then, I requested you not to be hasty, but now, you're free to do as you please."

Davis couldn't help but smile at Isabella. Obviously, she was talking about severing Vast Sky Emperor's life.

"Let that trash live for some time. It isn't like that trash could escape anywhere."

These words were actually spoken out loud, causing the entire crowd to reel in disbelief, but the powerhouses, especially the other three Great Righteous Sects, knew what was going on.

'As expected, there is no reconciliation between the Emperor of Death and the Vast Sky Emperor...'

Now Davis's unreasonable and overbearing actions all made sense to them, but they didn't even utter a word of consolation to the Vast Sky Emperor, separating themselves from him.

Not only did they not want to get mixed up between their vendetta, but they also had enough of the Vast Sky Emperor's way of doing things.

The Vast Sky Emperor's manipulation to delay their response and inevitably cause destruction to the Burning Phoenix Ridge from the wicked path's all-out attack and many other matters had them feeling that they had enough of his arrogance. Even while courting Isabella, he remained overbearing and did not allow them to come near her with his indirect actions, and although they felt thankful for it now, they understood that he reaped what he sowed.

The crowd secretly wondered why the Vast Sky Emperor wasn't retaliating, and after seeing the commotion, the Emperor of Death stirred from the beginning yet no one punishing him, they all concluded one thing, and that is, even the combined might of the Four Great Righteous Sects seemed like it was not enough for them to actually take any action against the Emperor of Death.

Could it be that he has become the de facto ruler of their human race, standing at the apex and looking down on all creatures?

The Emperor of Death's image practically soared in their eyes that if they still thought he was a youth, they no longer thought of him that way. He was nothing but a monster who didn't fit into their common sense!

After this not-so-unforeseen event came to an end, Honorable Elder Julian Kruse announced the end of the battle, and this time, the projection summoned the weakest cultivators who conjured Abundant Seas.

Although the battle was violent and exciting, shaping their view of the current geniuses, seeing them team up and backstab each other, they all felt that the previous excitement couldn't be reached!

They wanted to see the people under the Emperor of Death fight, eagerly awaiting what kind of prowess they would show!
