Divine Emperor of Death
-
chapter-3137
The Stormsong Family's Empyreal Monarch grinned as he saw amidst the flash of lightning that spread across the region. The air itself seemed to part in their wake, creating a path of blazing brilliance that streaked toward the purple-robed figure. This formation attack was both beautiful and terrifying, appearing like the manifestation of their unity to almost overcome any obstacle.
He could see his opponent, the Emperor of Death, remain hovering in the air like a fool without making a move.
All that taunts and acting calm… for what?
Only to go out like this?
He didn't know how many Divergents his Thundering Serenity Upper Realm killed, not to mention the Fiends they have exterminated from the face of this earth numbered in the thousands in its long history. To him, this so-called Emperor of Death was nothing more than a stepping stone, and it was just like he imagined, the fool underestimating him just because he was injured."…!"
However, his jaw dropped at that moment. His eyes widened as he saw an iridescent spear appear in the Emperor of Death's grasp. He dropped his scythe and clutched it like a spear- no, it appeared to be a spear, brimming with unknown undulations he had never laid his eyes on.
As this iridescent spear closed in on the attack he unleashed, the world seemed to hold its breath, the very flow of time slowing in reverence to the impending clash.
With a single hand, Davis pierced the holy white lightning arrow. Without any sound, the collision of energies was cataclysmic, a burst of light and power that caused the light to suddenly disappear from the area, painting it as a night sky that became shrouded in the hue of blinding radiance.
For a brief moment, the clash held in equilibrium, a breathtaking clash of opposing forces straining against each other. And then, with a resounding roar that echoed through the mountains, the combined white lightning energies surged forward, abruptly splitting into two as they traversed past Davis, leaving him unharmed.
"…!"
The Stormsong Family's Empyreal Monarch felt his scalp turn numb.This was the strongest attack his group could unleash without wasting much energy or blood essence, but it was split into two by him when such an attack would be capable of killing any Empyreal Monarch if they were caught off guard.
He couldn't understand, wanting to scream that it was impossible, but he wasn't even given that time when Davis appeared before him like a ghost with intense speed. But this time, he was prepared, causing him to take out his defensive talisman again.
"Uck!"
His throat was suddenly caught, causing him to turn shocked as a killing move wasn't made to automatically activate his defensive talisman. Nonetheless, he retaliated, throwing a first that suddenly turned into a white lightning snake as it made its way to Davis's dantian.
Davis saw the encroaching hand of destruction, his opponent's hand clad in white lightning as he thrust it towards his dantian.
But despite its capability, he didn't fear it, smashing his other free palm towards it.
Their hands met, and Davis's palm crushed the Empyreal Monarch's electrifying and piercing fingers, leaving the latter shocked.
The Empyreal Monarch instantly exploded with a threatening might, his undulations trying to overpower Davis. Its undulations were nine levels higher, capable of causing utter destruction to any Immortal King, but Davis sensed it was weak in the sense his opponent's power consumption was too high.
Fortunately, his reincarnation energy was absolutely powerful, easily churning with a might that was ten levels higher. If he used his soul essence, he could have gone even further towards the peak, but he didn't. Instead, he drove his palm clad in iridescent energy into his opponent's dantian.
*Bang!~*
The Stormsong Family's Empyreal Monarch's eyes bulged. If it weren't for his throat being clenched, he would've spit a mouthful of blood.
But suddenly, Davis let go of his opponent and retreated.
In the location where he was standing, four extraordinary weapons seemed to have pierced through his afterimage. These armaments were clad in their eerie and holy white lightning, unleashing a tremendous amount of force that was just as strong as an Empyreal Monarch when the four of them combined forces together.
Davis had his brows narrowed.
This white lightning was very strange and had properties countering death energy, which he had never heard of, but considering that the rumor was that it came from a super powerful Heaven-Tier Spirit that was probably at the Empyrean Stage or above, he wasn't surprised that it would be capable of countering the strongest Greater Law.
Regardless, with his death energy suppressed, he started using reincarnation energy, which absolutely overwhelmed his opponents, whether they be Kingly Monarchs or Empyreal Monarchs, but the consumption was also high, making him reluctant to use any more energy as he needed it for other precarious situations that might pop out anytime.
Even now, he wondered if these bastards came alone in their shiny battleship or fanned with them enough factions as rumors about him seemed to be spreading at a rapid rate.
Davis also wondered if the disciples from the First Haven World were eager to sell him out so that they could get into the good graces of these people.
Still, with him having retreated, he didn't feel one bit necessary to lift a finger anymore as he watched the Stormsong Family's Empyreal Monarch kneel in mid-air, his face twitching in pain while he hung his mouth agape as though he was going to vomit blood.
"Young Lord Aric!"
His fellow disciples gathered around him, pulling him away as they retreated, but the funny thing was that their back was towards the mountain while their battleship was towards Davis's back, which meant if they wanted to leave, they must go past him.
Moreover, Nadia and Lea didn't just watch.
They flanked them from the side, disallowing them from harming others or moving as they pleased.
"Is the Transcendent Cultivation System so good? How does it feel having all three cultivations experiencing vertigo? Can't circulate your energy properly, can you?"
Davis's lips curled as he mocked.
Aric Stormsong strugglingly raised his head and glared at Davis, "Bastard… what kind of energy is this…!?"
He seemed like he wanted to roar but was too weak, his voice resounding as though he was going to cry.
Davis spread his hands as though he didn't know.
His reincarnation energy might look strange, but it took the color out of the world, reversing the nature of life and the nature of death. This juxtaposition between life and death was not something the phoenix's nirvana flames couldn't achieve as it was ultimately flames while his energy was pure reincarnation energy.
The two couldn't be compared in the same length.
Nonetheless, Davis gave a closer look at the five of them. Somehow, he felt that he was depriving his people of the battle experience they needed to survive here as he was subduing his enemies too quickly, but at this moment, he was too pissed to be caring about that, causing him to raise his hand and unleash his reincarnation energy once again.
Iridescent waves flowed out from his soul, coloring the world black-and-white as they surged and extended like a sporadic fog that encased the area in it. Within an instant, it covered over a hundred kilometers and extended out further, surrounding them within a sphere.
The Stormsong Family youths used their white lightning energies to defend themselves, but the Kingly Monarchs soon realized that they were no match for this overwhelming power. The ridiculousness of it was this energy was light as a feather, not weighing down on them, but it made them go limp as though all their energy was being sapped away by it.
Looking at their reactions, Davis understood none of them realized that reincarnation energy was making their souls experience vertigo, which meant all their senses that stem from their consciousness would be cut in half or completely disrupted, leaving them feeling like they were going to faint.
When his enemies suffered this fate, their souls would be already dispersing at that time.
But this time, Davis didn't seek to kill them.
His figure flashed as he appeared before the five of them, his leg rising forward as he kicked Aric Stormsong's face, causing his handsome face to cave in. At the same time, his other hand shot towards the woman with an indifferent expression, grabbing her by the collar as he pulled her and smashed her against the playful woman.
"Ah!"
They screamed as bone-cracking sounds emerged.
During this time, the other two men tried to bravely attack him, but Yama, who followed him back and forth like a poor servant, abruptly flashed with a deathly light, slicing apart their arms that stretched out.
'Impossible! A Low-Level Sovereign Grade Armament should never be able to put a scratch on us…'
They were horrified by this deathly scythe that seemed to break common sense, not wanting to deal with that poisonous death energy that stuck to them like gum. Perhaps their arms could be severed because of the iridescent energy making them mellow or even hollow, but regardless, they didn't want to stay and test if they would be killed, causing them to shoot towards the battleship.
Davis narrowed his eyes.
He didn't think they were fleeing for a single moment, instead feeling like they had more firepower aboard the battleship.
But still, his target was the Empyreal Monarch and him alone, causing him to grin and tilt his head.
"Do you want all your bones broken or flesh torn apart piece by piece?"
"Wait!"
Aric Stormsong reached out his hand, urging Davis to stop.
"If you kill me, you will offend my Thundering Serenity Upper Realm! That's not a good thing! Besides, I have captives in my battleship!"
"…?"
