Divine Emperor of Death

Cyclonis Blizzara was shocked to hear Xerna Zenflame's words.

The Fire Phoenix Clan was plagued by such a wicked scandal? It was no wonder they rarely encountered King-Tier and Emperor-Tier existences from the Fire Phoenix Clan. They were ruthlessly slaughtered by a man called Ancestor Reselius Zenflame, and their blood essence was given as a reward for killing a Divergent.

She had investigated the Fire Phoenix Clan's stance towards the Emperor of Death and found that they boasted a high number of Divergent kills over the few million years of its existence, so she could somewhat understand their hatred against him but never did she imagine that they would even slaughter their own Kings and Emperors which was considered blasphemy in any magical beast race.

'To be able to subdue and slaughter such existences, how powerful is Ancestor Reselius Zenflame…?'

Cyclonis Blizzara couldn't understand. After all, no Emperor-Tier existence could be overlooked for any reason, especially if they had grown up to be Immortal King Beasts. Were they slaughtered when they were still Immortal Beasts?

Otherwise, she found it difficult to believe that such a thing remained unknown to the world.

She had so many questions but continued to listen. However, following Davis's gaze, she saw that there were newcomers.

Instantly, they all became silent as they watched five people appear in the distance. They didn't even bother to conceal themselves, causing the giant deer, a Level Four Immortal Emperor Feral Beast, to turn and glare at them.

"Oh? Isn't that the Blazing Embercap Mushroom?"

"Wonderful. Another trash treasure for a trash person."

"Fuck you! My little brother needs it!"

Roared a lanky crimson-robed man while the others couldn't help but cackle at him with mocking gazes. There were five of them, and all of them were robe the same clothes with the same insignia over their backs and the side of their arms, indicating that they were from the same faction.

"Ridiculous. You wouldn't have needed it if you hadn't gone and harassed Fairy Seila."

"That bitch… I didn't think she would be so ruthless, attacking my crotch with her darkness energy without mercy… I mean, who told her to dress so skimpily if she doesn't want to be ogled at!?"

The lanky crimson-robed youth scowled while holding his thing.

The others couldn't help but cross their legs once they heard him as they remembered the ruthless kick filled with darkness energy that almost killed his thing.

"Sigh… ogling is one thing, and touching is another. You should've shown more restraint."

Behind the lanky man, another crimson-robed person with a scholarly attitude spoke, "Nevertheless, the Blazing Embercap Mushroom is a Mid Stage Immortal Emperor Grade Heavenly Resource that increases comprehension in Fire Laws and Yang Laws, but if made into a medicinal pill with a few other ingredients, it should clear the darkness energy plaguing your little brother."

"…"

Sophie gawked. Were these idiots going to use her treasure for something like that?

She wouldn't have bothered it as it was a life-threatening problem, but she needed this treasure, not caring about that youth's problem because they were in a position to kill each other for a treasure.

Before coming here, she already made peace with starting a slaughter if provoked, and so did the others. They were the first ones to find this treasure, so she didn't particularly think they were in the wrong. However, she inwardly fumed, wanting to slaughter them, she knew she did not have enough strength to do so as she could sense these people were all-powerful.

Davis also saw that they didn't seem to be the ones who trapped them but also noticed that this lineup was quite similar to their own. Could it be that the ones in the back were an alchemist and forgemaster?

He recalled that each power could send five people, and it appeared to be the same here at a glance.

*Raugh!~*

Just as he was pondering many things, the giant deer let out a roar and charged toward them.

Flames erupted out of its body, climbing up to the poised crown on top of its head, which was its horn. Its horns, made of dense bone weighing tens and thousands of kilograms covered in a smooth layer of velvety smoothness, instantly lit up in flames.

Its antlers blazed like flaming swords placed in an intricate and symmetrical formation, creating an imposing presence that would want to have any Immortal Kings move out of their way.

However, the five youths turned solemn, appearing to jump in different directions as a ray of crimson light enveloped them, creating a five-point crimson radiance akin to a blazing shooting comet in the skies.

Strange yet oppressive undulations spread like a shockwave, causing a strong breeze to erupt.

"Pentacrimson Emberweaver Formation."

At the same time, resplendent crimson light shone from the burning star, turning into a streak of flames that shot toward the giant flaming deer.

However, it didn't clash but wrapped around its head and body, slowing down its charge. Within a few seconds, the giant deer's charge considerably lost momentum, and its legs started to become wrapped, causing it to stagger and fall over, its antlers stabbing the ground as it instantly melted the crimson surface like it was melting iron.

*Whoosh!~*

But it suddenly jumped high into the skies, flying as it opened its mouth.

A crimson radiance began to glow into a bright red sphere. It was full of fire energy, spiking into a huge crimson orb that grew larger than its own mouth, appearing to grow even further as it radiated an oppressive might that caused Sophie and the others to hold their breaths.

The pressure stemming from this attack was heavy as dense Peak Immortal Emperor King Mountain.

"They are as stupid as savage beasts…"

However, the lanky youth chuckled with a mocking gaze before he suddenly brought his hands down with the others.

The crimson flames wrapped around the giant deer moved like a snake, wrapping around its face as it abruptly turned into magma, solidifying and tightening the bind before it shut its mouth.

*Booom!!!~*

A massive explosion shook the forest the moment the burning sphere was bitten by the deer, causing the surrounding dense, thick trees to be lit up in flames. The atmosphere instantly turned too hot for most things within the Immortal King Stage to be unable to endure, but the five youths appeared to be fine within their formation.

A huge boulder flew across the explosion and crashed into a tree, creating a huge hole as it embedded itself. It was none other than the giant deer's beast core.

Seeing this scene, the smaller deers, although still large as a palace, were shaken and ran away, fearing for their lives.

"Heh~ The mushroom's mine…!"

The lanky youth walked out of the Pentacrimson Emberweaver Formation, causing it to disperse. But even then, the five of them seemed to be fine amidst the burning atmosphere.

*Swoosh!~*

With a wave of his hands, the lanky youth caused the flames to decrease slowly, eventually disappearing as they left a seared land of scorched earth and trees.

As the lanky youth walked towards the Blazing Embercap Mushroom, Davis's gaze flickered as he didn't expect to meet a powerful bunch.

The blazing feral beast, the giant deer, was a Level Four Immortal Emperor Beast, so the five of them managing to instantly kill it was nothing short of a surprise as he guessed that they could compare to the top ten in the Aurora Cloud Gate's Immortal King True Disciple Rankings.

'Transcendent Monarchs… and all of them have a prowess that's seven levels higher… and when they joined hands, raising the so-called Pentacrimson Emberweaver Formation, their prowess rose even higher…'

Davis imagined that their prowess reached eight levels or even higher for them to be able to easily subdue this feral beast.

It was not only Davis, but the others were shocked as well.

He and a few others at least knew about the Transcendent Cultivation System, but the others had no clue, wondering what kind of aura they were releasing.

How come there were five cultivators this strong, yet one of them claimed to have been kicked by a woman in the crotch and taken significant damage? The mysterious formation expert who sent them teleporting to another region and these people… just how many of these cultivators with strange auras were present?

Niel Bladeheart and Garoe Rynn's expressions turned grave, coming to understand that they wouldn't be able to survive here with their Level Seven Immortal King Stage cultivation. Even Cyclonis Blizzara froze as she instinctively understood that she wasn't a match for them, even with her Level Nine Immortal King Beast Stage Cultivation.

Utmost, she could reach six levels higher, but even that wasn't a match for any of them present before her eyes.

Vereina only felt that her decision to stick to Davis couldn't be far from the right decision.

Just what kind of world had they entered? Which part of the true immortal world was this place for experts of this caliber to be roaming around?

While everyone was stunned and speechless, Myria didn't show any emotion, as though these people didn't even enter her eyes. Instead, she gazed at Davis, wondering what he would do with his lacking cultivation before she saw him step out of Nadia's concealment.

*Whoosh!~*

"Who!?"

His presence instantly caused the group of five crimson-robed youths to be shocked, seeing a purple-robed man hover in their sight, appearing right between them.

"This energy… immortal energy, eh? I see. You are from the Abandoned Immortal Lower Realm…"

"…"

The lanky youth turned to look behind at Davis, his lips curling into an intrigued smile.
