Divine Emperor of Death-Novel



"…"

Before the entrance to the secret realm, the Patriarchs and Ancestors watched their faction's youth leave group by group. It wasn't until everyone left that they let out a breath, wondering what was going to happen in these days.

Some even brought out and took hold of a few jade crystals appearing to possess the life signature of their disciples, looking at it carefully as though praying to the heavens and hoping for their safe or bountiful return.

A few even acted like they owned this place and began to bring out small abodes or even strike the sides of the underground cave to create cultivation caves, although some began to gather around Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus.

"Perfect. The results of this expedition into the secret realm are going to be thrilling!"

Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus saw that he was surrounded but acted as though everything was going smoothly, his lips curling wide with glee.

However, they didn't seem to be buying his calmness.

With the secret realm's location exposed, he no longer had any sway over them. He understood that and hurriedly looked at the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Alliances for help but saw that they didn't care.

"…"

"You don't have to worry. We're not going to force you at this point, but we will send our next batch, and you're going to approve of it."

The Tyriel Family's Patriarch spoke, causing Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus to purse his lips.

"Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans. You'll all have no objections to sending the next batch, right?" The Alistair Family's Patriarch turned to glance at the other Patriarchs.

"We'll have to see how this expedition goes first. The risk it poses is still unknown…"

The Wind Dragon Clan's Patriarch advised, but seeing that his fellow Patriarchs seemed more restless than ever, their eyes flashing with a greedy light for the treasures inside, he sighed.

"Perhaps, we can send them the next day."

"That decides it!"

Patriarch Asta Rubyshroud joined them, bringing with him an entire array of alliances that agreed to send more youths the next day. It didn't even take them a minute to decide, causing them to be full of smiles, but some narrowed their eyes, wondering why they weren't able to be this foregoing, and a purple-robed man appeared in their hands.

What?— Was their first reaction.

There was no way they were silent all this long for a youth who could be killed by any of the other hundreds of Old Ancestors present here. But in that case, why had their discussion gone so smoothly now?

"The Central Primesky Alliance disagrees because that would be unfair to the individuals who set foot into the secret realm."

At this moment, Patriarch Soaren Goldsun boldly stepped forward.

The immortals saw that it was the madman himself stepping forward to become a sacrifice, causing them to not know how to deal with this but also saw the Starlight Jade Wolf King and Obsidian Crystal Turtle Clan's Patriarch appear.

"If it isn't the weak powers that submitted to a single youth and couldn't help but want to lick his feet again and again."

The Central Primesky Alliance's people turned to look at Patriarch Killian Zenflame, causing Patriarch Soaren Goldsun and Patriarch Fenren Jadelight to be annoyed. Why their brother let this retard go was beyond them, but just as they were about to speak, they saw the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Clan's Patriarch step up with a lewd expression on his face.

"Your rebellious daughter Xerna Zenflame is with him, making one wonder how 'rebellious' she could be…"

"You!"

Patriarch Killian Zenflame pointed and roared, feeling anger rush to his head. He didn't care about that useless daughter of his, but her being manhandled by his fated enemy was crushing- grinding his honor or any remaining reputation as the Patriarch of the Fire Phoenix Family.

Patriarch Soaren Goldsun and Patriarch Fenren Jadelight couldn't help but almost burst out laughing when they heard this roast, making them smell the aroma of Patriarch Killian Zenflame's cooked flesh that Davis shared with them.

*Kacha!~*

They were just smiling when they heard a resounding crack spread across the underground cave, causing every one of them to go silent.

They turned to look at the Echopeak Family's Patriarch, who held five jade crystals in his hand. They were life tablets, holding the soul essences of the disciples sent, but one of them seemed to have broken.I think you should take a look at

"Who? Who backstabbed my Echopeak Family!?"

The Echopeak Family's Patriarch furiously turned to look at the Crimson Sangreal Alliance that his power was also a part of. His family's disciples were sent together with the other powers belonging to the Crimson Sangreal Alliance, like the Rosewood, Lunaris, Starmantle, Starrye, Duststorm, Rubyshroud, Glassmist, and Cherryweave Families.

So if one of his Echopeak Family's disciples had died, it could only mean that they were backstabbed by someone in the Crimson Sangreal Alliance.

"Perhaps, this disciple of your family's argued with the Emperor of Death, and he decided to kill him in one move, no?"

Patriarch Killian Zenflame snickered, causing the Echopeak Family's Patriarch to glare at him.

The latter had never felt this kind of humiliation in his life, one of his family's youths becoming the first person to die in this secret realm. Besides, perhaps due to the secret realm's suppression, his immortal sense that stuck to the disciples didn't even activate.

"Shut up! You of all people-"

Just as he was about to lash out, he suddenly stopped as he and the other people heard another crystal clear sound of a jade tablet cracking, causing everyone to turn to look toward the sources.New chaptᴇrs are published on ɴo(v)elꜰɪre.ɴet

They just saw one of five Devouring Wind Garuda Clan's life tablets breaking when they heard that dreadful sound again.

*Kacha!~* *Kacha!~* *Kacha!~*

*Kacha!~* *Kacha!~* *Kacha!~*

"What!?"

"Wait!"

Instantly, the life tablets of numerous powers began to break one after the other, shocking them all.

"No! My Raw Mountain Sect's geniuses! Dead! All dead!"

"My Radiant Sea Sect's disciples lost their lives! What's happening!?"

"My Forlorn Sky Hall's disciples as well… quick… send someone into the secret realm to check what's going on! Has the entrance been surrounded by aboriginal forces!?"

"Even then, it shouldn't be this easy to kill our disciples who all have prowess at the Level One Immortal Emperor Stage at the very least!"

The powers who had their jade tablets broken turned frantic, while many didn't know what to do as they argued. If the other side was dangerous, why didn't any of their disciples return!?

Patriarch Soaren Goldsun and Patriarch Fenren Jadelight were shocked, quickly looking at their youths' life tablets but saw that they still hadn't broken, at least not yet. They were full of dread as they had sent some of their sons and daughters to accompany their brother in this expedition, trusting Davis that he would protect them if he was near them.

Panic ensued as those who were in those little abodes and cultivation caves also came flying out with panic.

*Kacha!~* *Kacha!~**Kacha!~*

The sound of life tablets breaking left Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus dumbfounded. Three out of five life tablets he possessed had already cracked, not allowing him to understand what was happening as even when he sent the scouts, the death rate wasn't this exaggerated.

Had they met a monster or something?

"Yinakin Zyrus!"

Someone furiously roared, causing him to shudder as he tried to hide behind the three alliances that promised to protect him and his power, but after he hid, even they surrounded him and gave him a cold glare filled with killing intent.

The results of this expedition are going to be thrilling? It was thrilling indeed, except in a way they loathed.

"…"

When Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus shot a look at their jade tablets, he saw even they suffered a few losses.
