Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-3880

"…!?"

But to the executioner's shock, he saw that the glaive's blade had disappeared, left with only the rod, whose impact had disappeared along with the blade.

Revera Heremic quickly appeared before the four of them. He ignored the executioner and hurriedly tried to unwind the chains, which were also formations that could kill the prisoners if they were to be freed.

His expression changed as he saw that was indeed the case the moment he touched them, but he didn't panic and began to work on them.

At the same time, Glacia Frigidveil appeared behind the executioner.

She sheathed her sword and turned to look at Davis, not expecting him to reveal such a power. She glanced at the black-white stone in his hand while the executioner's head slid off his neck and became enveloped in ice.

A Level Three Autarch had officially fallen in the battle. His identity was unknown. His background was unknown. No one cared other than the fact this was supposed to be a no-kill operation to lessen the animosity, but since it was done, they couldn't give a damn about it.

"Davis…"

Fenren, Soaren, and Andiron looked at Davis in shock. The way he was clad in death energy was unlike anything they had seen. His eyes were pitch black instead of the same old sapphire right now, making them shudder as they wondered if he was the same Davis.

However, they failed to exchange words, not knowing what to say to each other as they felt like they had implicated each other.

*Bzzz!~*

While they were stunned, an entrapment formation was activated as a new barrier appeared. Above the barrier, countless runes abruptly stacked against each other, and a ray of light was gathered from the sun above them.

It didn't seem to be at its full power as the sun wasn't directly above, but the killing formation deemed that the power gathered was enough in two seconds and unleashed a ray of golden light at the execution stage.

*Shiii!~*

The ray of golden light was directed towards Davis, intending to kill him in one shot, but Glacia Frigidveil appeared before him and held her sword upside down, standing like an impenetrable fortress.

"Iceage Calamity Mirror~"

A wall of ice appeared before the ray of golden light could hit.

It could even kill a Level Seven Empyrean. However, the moment the light hit the icy wall, it was redirected. The icy wall moved, sending the ray of light directly against the Heaven's Warriors to the back, which had yet to make a move.

"What!?"

They, who depended on the killing formation to finish the job, were startled. They hurriedly dodged, but three Level Three Autarch Heaven's Warriors were caught within the ray of light.

They instantly vanished, and the resulting explosion left a tremendous crater that released smoke from the ground.

"Huh!?"

At this moment, Reval Heremic shouted.

His shout caused Davis and Glacia Frigidveil to look at him in shock, wondering if he had failed. However, they saw the chains shatter and fall to the ground, releasing the three prisoners.

Reval Heremic blinked.

He said he was only seconds away from releasing them, but he didn't, which left only a few answers. However, he didn't dwell on them and absorbed them into his life ring.

"Don't resist!"

He pulled them in as the undulations around them would be too much to bear. They were already bleeding from their heads heavily, barely breathing from the density of the energy alone too heavy for them.

"Let's go!"

Reval Heremic turned around and shot away.

Davis and Glacia Frigidveil also followed.

Davis was silent as he looked around.

He couldn't find Clara even when his senses stormed the palace behind the execution stage. There was no sign of Autarch Yulan Nazarin either. Unable to find Clara using the brief amount of time he had in this hit-and-run plan, his soul chilled him to the core, but he stuck to the plan as he looked at their backs.

Only five seconds passed from the moment they made their moves.

The realm officials and the Heaven's Warriors were not able to put up a counterattack, and almost all of them were either gravely injured or impeded by Jaiyan's Heaven-Severing Tongue that shattered the faith of the Heavens Warriors, Isolde Grimsong Oblivion Echo Soul that snuffed out their Will to fight back, and Qiyra Darkstar's Starlight Devouring Veins that unleashed unrelenting and heavy attacks.

They were caught entirely off-guard and squashed the moment Lunaria's disciples ambushed them, their ranks in complete disarray.

Jaiyan's powers were just too disorienting for them and were as fearful as death energy as it sealed the heavenly influence within them. Moreover, these disciples were just too strong, with each of them unleashing a prowess that was at seven levels higher.

Even the avatars released a similar prowess, making Davis wonder how much time they used to refine their avatar techniques. Considering they were in the true immortal world for one or two million years, he didn't find it strange.

Right now, Jaiyan was locked in battle with Empyrean Miller Skyrend.

Empyrean Miller Skyrend displayed a cultivation base of Level Nine Empyrean Stage, but even then, Jaiyan seemed to be an even match, which shocked him. Jaiyan's presence right now overshadowed him, the Divine Emperor of Death. That was the kind of threat he exuded in the execution grounds right now, attracting more than sixty percent of the forces.

As for Kisha Blackheart and Karyot, they were fully dedicated to seeding chaos within the sea of crowds.

Spatial wind energy made everyone unable to have a footing. They were sent tumbling back and forth. Even Empyreans and Autarchs weren't an exception to the tempest he threw around like they were wind blades.

At the same time, Kisha Blackheart, the demon tree, appeared from one place to another, spreading her spores.

The wind carried these spores, and everyone unwittingly inhaled them. These spores even had the ability to bury within the skin, appearing to be extremely invasive.

It caused everyone to go limp, and the weaker ones lost energy earlier than most.

Numerous sprouts extended from their bodies and grew into strange, dark, glossy fruits. They contained the essence of their energy, looking like they were about to explode if unnecessarily tampered with, so the people didn't dare touch them.

There were also previous cases of fruit explosions, which directly caused implosions within, making them scared for their lives.

There was utter chaos in the city within those five seconds.

"Don't let them escape! Follow them!"

Empyrean Miller Skyrend sensed the Divine Emperor of Death and the other Divergents leaving.

"…!"

However, he had just sounded when suddenly his senses were in disarray. Instantly, hundreds of Divergents appeared in his view, escaping in different directions. There were as many as seven more Jaiyans, causing his jaw to almost drop, but he knew this was an illusion.

"See you later."

Jaiyan waved goodbye with his hand and retreated with a calm smile, although it was absolutely disrespectful.

Empyrean Miller Skyrend clenched his teeth. He decided to forgo Jaiyan and jumped shot toward the Divine Emperor of Death, who tried to escape. Although there were many Divine Emperors of Deaths escaping in different directions, he always had his senses locked on the target.

"Die!"

He unleashed a tremendous wave of flame energy that struck down. There was no time for Divine Techniques, so he directly sacrificed his blood essence and used an enormous amount of energy to strike the Divine Emperor of Death.

The other two Divergents hurriedly shielded the Divine Emperor of Death.

The three of them were all engulfed within his flames, suppressed under the fiery torment of his power. He was not a genius but could at least cross two levels and at Level Nine Empyrean Stage, that was deadly.

He felt like he burned them to a crisp. However, turning to look at Jaiyan's fellow Divergents still running away, his expression was at a loss.

Had he truly caught them? Had he attacked illusions? However, he could feel them still burning under his fiery inferno, making him not understand what was going on.

*Whoosh!~* *Whoosh!~* *Whoosh!~*

In the distance, away from the core region, halfway to the inner region, numerous figures flashed past buildings in the skies.

They headed towards a velvet-robed woman whose pink hair extended like she was a hair demon. They extended into the void, influencing the perception of everyone present within her range.

"Good job, tenth junior sister. Let's leave."

Behind her, Saintess Lunaria and Wix Voidfield waited. The latter spoke as the others were almost near them, causing Laphria Rinmei to smilingly nod her head.

"Mhm~"

She agreed. To change the perception of this entire city as she sank them into her illusion silently, she had used up an enormous amount of energy, so she was more exhausted than all of them.

She couldn't wait to go back home and sleep.

Soon, Qiyra Darkstar, Reval Heremic, Glacia Frigidveil, Jaiyan, Kisha Blackheart, Isolde Grimsong, and Karyot all arrived before Laphria Rinmei, Wix Voidfield, and their Master Saintess Lunaria. They flashed a smile, expecting her to praise them.

"Very good. The execution was almost flawless…"

She looked at Davis, not expecting for him to have a black-white stone that subverted her expectations. Was that even the apex treasure? The last time she saw it, she didn't remember it to be like that.

Nonetheless, she quickly waved her hand.

"Let's leave before they find out the source of the illusions."

All the other figures of them were illusions while they were actually hidden. If they were found, it would be difficult to leave.

Right now, Empyrean Miller Skyrend and the others were still taking on the illusion of Jaiyan and a few other Divergents. They were not real, but to Empyrean Miller Skyrend and the others, they were very much real.

Everyone nodded, while Davis looked reluctant. He wanted to escape too, but leaving Clara didn't sit well with him. However, he nodded, not wanting to jeopardize the safety of these people.

They had agreed to a hit-and-run plan, and if they couldn't find the slightest trace of Clara, they had to leave without fail.

They began leaving as Karyot began casting an escape technique, and Davis took a step forward to join them. However-

"Divine Emperor of Death! If you aren't caught, then your little sister will undoubtedly receive a severe punishment for hiding you. If you don't come back to accept your demise, then you would've implicated her!"

From a distance, Empyrean Miller Skyrend's pissed voice boomed throughout heaven and earth, making Davis stop.
