Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 1575 - Appearing Within

The Poison Lord’s palm shone in a dark crimson light as he readied his battle technique when suddenly an incredible soul pressure at the Emperor Soul Stage descended on him, causing his expression to turn solemn as he released his own High-Level Law Rune Stage essence energy undulations, resulting in the soul pressure not getting past him to intervene the powerhouses who were trying to wreck the barrier.

It didn’t influence him much either.

The Ancestors were in disbelief over Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross’s sudden death. However, the moment they saw the barrier being attacked by the fourteen powerhouses of the Poison Lord Villa, including the Poison Mistress, they rushed up, wanting to defend the barrier while also wanting to help Davis.

"Davis Alstreim, let me help you!"

Suddenly, Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans left from Honorable Elder Julian Kruse’s side and took out his long shell as he brought it to his mouth and suddenly bellowed.

"You shall not attack the barrier!"

The shell significantly strengthened the sound waves of his imposing voice and caused all the Poison Lord Villa Powerhouses to stop as their bodies trembled. Even the Poison Mistress shivered ever so lightly as she stopped before she thought of resuming but looking at Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans coming for her, she clenched her teeth and took out her two purple daggers as she rushed at him.

"Damn you!"

While the Poison Mistress screamed in retaliation and joined the battle, Davis finally arrived in front of the Poison Lord and punched out with his Earth Dragon’s Overbearing Fist.

The air behind him caved as if it was being s.u.c.k.e.d in by a vacuum and launched against the Poison Lord when he punched out, a brownish-golden domain appearing as it strengthened his might. The entire pressure he released descended on the Poison Lord, but he simply used his stinger to stab out as a hex flew out, radiating a dark crimson light as it reached his attack.

*Splat!~*

It stuck to his brownish-golden wave of martial might without being annihilated. However, his attack abruptly stopped in mid-air before it broke down along with the pressure.

At the same time, another hex shone with a crimson light in mid-air, its size more prominent than the last before it disappeared like a shooting star.

Davis’s brows shot wide as he saw this scene as he retreated. Blood dripped out of his lips as that bigger crimson hex broke his Perfect Martial Domain.

Previously, the Poison Lord’s attack struck Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross’s dark arrows and disintegrated them as well. He couldn’t understand the intricacies behind the hex attack, but he could see that it can essentially corrupt the living and non-living being when its curse effect burst out almost instantly as it was placed.

If Isabella hadn’t kept the hex from bursting out with her domineering martial energy, it would’ve erupted without a doubt, killing her in the process.

When he thought of it like this, Davis’s brows narrowed as his killing intent rose, thinking of using Fallen Heaven to end the Poison Lord’s life.

But no matter what, he couldn’t defeat a powerhouse whose prowess reached Peak-Level Law Rune Stage with his own strength.

His soul couldn’t suppress, and his fists couldn’t break the Poison Lord’s defense. He was in the disadvantageous position that if he was truly cursed with a hex technique, he would only have a pretty small buffer to counter it or die, unlike Isabella’s, whose natural physical might reached the Peak-Level Martial Overlord Stage, giving her an ample amount of time to react to the hex from bursting and killing her.

That’s why, unlike what the Poison Lord thought of Davis, that the latter was impervious to poison and hex, it truly wasn’t the case.

The Poison Lord smiled while looking at Davis retreat. He glanced behind, perceiving that his powerhouses had resumed attacking the barrier below while his daughter took care of the Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans from interfering with them.

Her poison and charm basically left him only able to focus on her while Honorable Elder Julian Kruse was simply staring at the three Dragon Families’ Grand Elders, warning them not to do anything funny.

Nevertheless, with him essentially stopping Davis, he felt that his powerhouses needed only a few seconds before the barrier was breached.

"Hehehehe!~"

The Poison Lord Villa’s powerhouses cackled with sinister laughter as they looked at the three-layered barrier become down to the last layer. The moment it was breached, all the poison would descend into the city. However, there was another line of defense with the Ancestors of the Alstreim Family, Falling Snow Sect, Thousand Pill Palace, a fey, and a magical beast waiting right below them to counterattack.

However, they merely laughed at them.

Even if they did, their dense poison cloud would surely overwhelm and poison them, bringing dread to the city next!

However...

*Slash!~*

The head of Wicked Glow abruptly flew above, severed from his neck as a black-robed figure with a scythe in his hand laughed from behind.

"!!!?"

The Poison Lord Villa Powerhouses felt their scalps turn numb as they turned to look around at the sudden source of the disturbance. When they saw and maneuvered their attacks in unison to that black-robed person, their souls were abruptly subjected to an enormous pressure that ultimately left them unable to attack.

However, when they saw what the black-robed man held in his other hand, a talisman that had lit up in a bright crimson glow, they felt all of their scalps turn numb in sheer terror!

"What!?" The Poison Lord just reacted as he turned back when a terrified voice echoed.

"That’s the Flame Providen-"

The powerhouse who screamed and along with the other twelve powerhouses were engulfed by a massive burning ball that covered around thirty kilometers, even trying to swallow the closer Poison Lord along with it when he raised his hand and attached a crimson hex over it, causing the brilliant crimson flames to disperse.

It created beautiful scenery as if the sun was setting behind a mountain as the brilliant light faded, but when the flames receded, only two burned figures were left, their skin appearing to be scorched as if they had just taken a bath in lava. Follow current s on (f)ir(e).nᴇt

The Poison Lord’s expression became ugly, his body trembling in utter fury as he turned to look back at Davis, only to see him have a crazed smile on his face.

"You didn’t expect me to appear there, did you?"

Davis mocked while the Poison Lord became utterly mad!

Only these two Mid-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses were able to escape out of the thirteen powerhouses!

This was a complete loss for his Poison Lord Villa!

The Poison Lord’s body furiously trembled as he didn’t know how under the heavens Davis arrived behind him! That black robed-figure who released his soul suppression felt awfully similar to Davis!

But how can there be two persons with the same undulations? It was impossible!

There were actually six Mid-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses if one excluded the Poison Mistress, and the black-robed man killed wicked Glow while the others were immensely pressured, making it so that only two of them were barely able to survive.

Their burned bodies gave off a good aroma that even attracted Zanna Silverwind’s noses. Still, she was totally dumbfounded along with the others as she watched almost all the powerhouses die from a single attack.

Most of them realized that it was Kyris Domitian’s Flame Providence Talisman as Davis seemingly used it as they also sensed his soul undulations. They felt ridiculous, wondering how he appeared within their group and eradicated them with a single move.

Nevertheless, the Poison Lord was still shaking with fury but also pure disbelief.

Was that how he killed the Soul Emperor? No! It can’t be! It didn’t make sense to him!

As for the black-robed man who seemingly self-destructed by releasing the Flame Providence Talisman, who could it be other than Davis’s Solitary Soul Avatar?

Davis snickered as he looked at the hex retard tremble without a stop. His reaction was extremely delectable to him that Davis felt that he might even be a sadist.

After all, how dare he threaten him with his family below? In truth, he wanted to torture this person more until he begged for mercy.

Before, he couldn’t use Fallen Heaven on these Low-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses for the same reason he didn’t use it on the Poison Lord.

That itself was a major scare tactic he liked to use rather than revealing the trick. They could only imagine but never make it a fact, leaving them indecisive about making a move unless they’re just brawns and no brains.

Therefore, there was only one move left: bringing out his avatar and using the Flame Providence Talisman, which Isabella gave to Evelynn for insurance only for him to take it back and ended up using it, which further ended making the powerhouses extremely confused!

Were there any more of Davis hidden around here somewhere!?

Is that how Davis killed the Soul Emperor!?

Many questions lingered in their minds, but there was no one to answer their questions other than Davis himself!
