Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 1812: Rumble Underneath the Darkening Clouds

Davis had no idea how they found them as he didn’t sense any soul sense brushing past them.

Instead, he wondered if one of the darkness spirits surrounding them informed them, but still, it didn’t matter to him anymore as he took a step forward, his figure flickering as he disappeared in a ghastly manner before reappearing before them, stopping them in their tracks.

“Sorry, but the skies ahead are closed as there’s a heavenly tribulation in progress.”

Davis spoke with a solemn expression on his face.

The three spirits who stopped before him couldn’t even tell if he was joking or not, but they were certainly taken aback by a human suddenly appearing in front of them.

The Lustrous Soaring Dawn Spirit possessed golden eyes that were different from Nightveil’s. His eyes shone with magnificence and glory instead of a regal look. He simply raised his hand and pointed at Davis.

Radiant light energy shot out from his hand as it almost instantaneously reached the human. But suddenly, a radiant light palm was unleashed as it struck the beam of light out, causing the Lustrous Soaring Dawn Spirit’s eyes to widen in shock, not because his attack was destroyed but because he radiated oppressive soul undulations that were equal to his level!

The two other spirits were dumbfounded as well, wondering where this human came from when suddenly the Lustrous Soaring Dawn Spirit spoke.

“So you’re the human who killed Zen Ravager.”

“The technique’s name is Heaven Smiting Soul Clasp. Pretty audacious, right?”

Davis smirked before he turned to look at Nightveil and confirmed that no one sneaked on her. The flame was going to die out as her wails became more silent as though she was going to die as well, but the three-second mark had passed, meaning she had passed the righteous cleansing of the heavenly flames.

Davis could no longer see karmic sin on her, which made him feel good about his decision not to kill her when he encountered her. This female spirit definitely wasn’t evil in nature.

“I don’t care who you are but move out of my way. Or there would be consequences you couldn’t afford to face.”

“Oh?” Davis turned to look at Lustrous Soaring Dawn Spirit before he smirked again, “That’s rather ironic coming from someone from the Spirit Ancestral Ground. I heard that your mission was to stop humans from invading your small spirit lands, so what happened to that? Do I gain a free pass here?”

“Hmph! There’s merely something more pressing that I have to do than take out weak humans. Stand aside or prepare to face your death!”

*Boom!~*

Blinding light momentarily took all of their vision away as a bolt of heavenly lightning descended from the skies and struck Nightveil!

Davis turned to look back and witnessed Nightveil clash with the blue-colored bolt of heavenly tribulation lightning, becoming amazed at her endurance. She had recovered in a few seconds to tackle the lightning, and looking at her black scythe hold its own against it; he could see that her energy was fairly stable and powerful even after almost being burned to death.

*Whoosh!~*

Suddenly, he sensed movement from behind and pointed in a direction towards his right.

*Whiz!~*

A beam of death energy directly shot towards a beam of light, causing that beam of light to split into two.

“What!?”

The beam of light that split into two joined together in a circle before becoming the Lustrous Soaring Dawn Spirit. He looked at Davis with incredulity in his eyes, wondering what was that energy just now that struck him. The others who had just moved also stopped in their tracks as they didn’t want to be hit by something like that.

The dark beam of light appeared for a moment before it disappeared, but they saw that the Lustrous Soaring Dawn Spirit was already injured, blood leaking from his mouth. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . (ꜰ)ire.ɴet

“That was my Death Ray. Its ability to disintegrate almost everything in its path is cool, right?”

Davis mocked as he raised his hand and blew over his finger as though he was cooling off a gun barrel.

The Lustrous Soaring Dawn Spirit became livid before his lips moved.

“Why are you siding with that wench!? She killed my brother, the tribe chief, our family before massacring my entire tribe.” He bellowed with hatred gleaming in his eyes.

“I thought a human from the other side was different, but now I know why our ancestors were bent on stopping them from entering our world! You, humans, are all trash! The Renegade Human Shelter is full of evil bastards like you who should be cleansed from this world!”

“Have you punished your brother for doing hideous things to Nightveil’s mother and father?”

Davis blinked before his expression became cold.

“If you have not, fuck off from acting like a victim and try to kill her without twisting the facts!”

*Boom!~*

Another arc of tribulation lightning fell and struck Nightveil, who similarly struck against the heavenly lightning using her scythe. At this moment, despite it being a stronger arc of lightning, Nightveil cut through it, causing the eyes of other spirits who came to hunt her down to bulge in caution.

She was powerful than they thought, but it was no wonder she managed to kill a Tribe Chief.

Davis then sighed.

“We may not have the same standards when it comes to morality, but I hate sanctimonious bastards like you who pretend you have a moral high ground when you don’t in reality. I usually wouldn’t have stopped you from getting your revenge, but unfortunately, I’m a hired thug whose job is to protect her.”

He waved his hand and shook his head.

“Really, last warning. If you’re going to stay here or do anything funny, then I can no longer assure your lives.”

“Pui!”

The Lustrous Soaring Dawn Spirit spat blood to the side before his expression became sanctimonious.

“How much do you want? I’ll make a better deal than her.”

Davis’s shoulders drooped.

“Unfortunately, I don’t transact purely on benefits as I also tend to transact a bit of loyalty. Once taken a job, unless I get betrayed or see signs of betrayal, I won’t betray the other party. It’s a pity that I didn’t meet you first as your story seems pretty valid as hers, although I doubt you would’ve needed my help with two other spirits helping you.”

The Lustrous Soaring Dawn Spirit clenched his white teeth before he grinned with hate.

“Human, since you think you can take three of us at once, I want to see how you can escape death after we take her down!”

*Bzzzz!~*

The world was half-covered in darkness was suddenly became full of light, filled with radiance. If it weren’t for the heavenly tribulation casting a shadow, this region lighting would’ve appeared like a bright sunny day.

The sound of the world returned and what replaced was a world of light arrays.

Davis’s eyes were wide as he saw the Lustrous Soaring Dawn Spirit appear anywhere in the world of light arrays. He couldn’t tell if this was an illusion or an authentic technique that could potentially cost his life, but he saw the other two spirits, a wind spirit and a metal spirit making their move as they shot in two opposite directions, going in a roundabout way to approach Nightveil who was about to receive her third heavenly lightning strike.

“Well, I’m certainly not in a situation to be gaining battle experience.”

Davis flicked his hand, and innumerable wisps of purple flames spread out. With the Purple Soul Flame Lantern, the Soul Palace’s offensive Legacy Artifact in his palm, he spammed the flames by injecting his soul force into it in huge amounts as it began to burn down the array of light around him.

“Human!!! What are these damned flames!?”

“Ha! Something that’s particularly effective against souls, you moron.”

The Lustrous Soaring Dawn Spirit screamed in pain while Davis rapidly approached the wind spirit who was about to get to Nightveil.

The wind spirit was a handsome man wearing green robes in addition to a windy veil covering his body. His speed was perhaps faster than the Lustrous Soaring Dawn Spirit that he almost reached Nightveil in a few seconds despite being further than the most.

However, from behind, Davis lifted his hand. The manifestation of a black sword appeared in his hand, flickering with a ghastly image of pure death before it struck down when Davis slashed down with pure force and utter intensity. Suddenly, the world turned pitch black, and the silence that was once there before came back in a blaring and eerie manner.

However, what the others saw was space splitting in half, stretching hundreds of kilometers as it split the mountains in its path into two vertical halves. It was just a few hundred meters away from Nightveil in hitting her but what got caught in the line of destruction was a wind spirit that got cut in half, blood spilling out from the body in copious amounts as it splashed in the skies.

*Bang!~*

At the same time, the world lightened up as Nightveil received the third heavenly lightning strike, making up for a beautiful scene of light, wind, death, lightning, and darkness exploding into different hues at the same time.
