Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

*Gasp!~*

The crowd had their breathing suppressed at that moment, wondering what would happen, only to see Young Palace Master Faus Lanate become encased in ice by Natalya's quick attacks that they couldn't even see how she was forming all of them within the span of a few seconds.

All they literally saw was a raging man furiously attacking the woman before he became frozen inside a clear chunk of ice. Even now, there was no change of expression on his face, seeming to be brimming with cruelty and hatred.

Natalya's dainty legs moved towards the side as she looked at her own piece of her art as though she had created a painting, catching the moment where Faus Lanate's expression was warped with craziness and his lips curved with pure malice, his hand curving in an arc, reaching out to her give a humiliating slap, except it had failed.

"Ah~ Such a hideous expression. You truly held such a grudge against my husband to want to slap me, his second wife… how cruel~"

Natalya shook her head and spoke in an aggrieved voice, causing a stir in the crowd before snapping her fingers.

*Bang!~*

The chunk of ice shattered into a million pieces, but nothing seemed to have happened to Young Palace Master Faus Lanate as he came crashing down and hit the ground face-first.

The dull 'thud' alone caused people's expressions to cringe.

"Everyone, this miscreant over here did not want to battle me but wanted to humiliate me. What should I do to him?"

Natalya didn't look at anyone in particular but still kept her gaze at Faus Lanate as she asked when the audience suddenly roared.

"Kill him!!!"

"Destroy his family jewels!!!"

"Never make him see women in the same light again!!!"

"…?"

Davis became stupefied to see Natalya aggravating the crowd, much less the crowd fanning the flames together with her. He wondered what she was up to and became interested, looking at the spectacle with curious eyes.

The other opponents also didn't interfere. In fact, they kept their distance and didn't battle, looking over like they were audience themselves.

However, no matter how long they kept their eyes on Faus Lanate or shouted at him, they didn't see him waking up or even moving an inch.

"This… did he die?"

Someone couldn't help but ask out loud, which instantly caused the people to come out of their state of stupor, making them create waves of murmurs that kept on getting louder and louder until even the arbitrator stepped in.

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse checked the unmoving Faus Lanate, but his expression became strange as he turned to look towards Natalya before looking back at Faus Lanate. He immediately poured light energy unto Faus Lanate to heal him, but a calm voice echoed.

"Don't bother."

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse received a headache upon hearing those two words. He instantly couldn't help but ask as he turned to look at Natalya.

"What do you mean?"

However…

"What happened!?"

"Is our Young Palace Master dead!?"

Two old foggies suddenly stepped in front of the barrier as they made a scene, causing the expression of everyone to change.

It was the Venerable Sunrise and Twilight Pill Emperors of the Glorious Pill Palace.

"Two Venerable Pill Emperors, please calm down."

Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans quickly went towards them.

"Calm down!? How can we calm down!?"

"That's our Young Palace Master! Quickly remove the barrier. We have to save him!"

Both Honorable Elders hesitated for a moment before they opened a rift in the barrier, allowing the two Pill Emperors to enter.

Seeing the battle come to an unexpected stop, the millions of people became surprised that even the Four Great Righteous Sect Leaders didn't say anything, and then, they finally remembered that these two old men commanded immense respect, authority, and wealth, understanding that it was the Emperor of Death's fault for flipping their sense of view as he easily put them down, lowering their image in their hearts.

"Young Lady, this is not right. What did you do to our Young Palace Master?"

Upon checking Faus Lanate, the Venerable Sunrise Pill Emperor turned to look at Natalya with narrowed eyes.

"Well, He's not dead but isn't alive either."

Natalya refused to elaborate further as she remained silent but then finally spoke with a smile on her face as though she had been waiting for them to ask.

Venerable Sunrise didn't understand her words.

"What do you mean? His entire body is covered in ice and yin energy that we're currently trying to extricate as we speak. However, even though the ice and yin had been extinguished, the ice in his soul isn't fading. At this rate, he could die!"

"Why should I care if he's dying or not?" Natalya shook her head, "Just now, you all saw what he was going to do to me."

"Young La-"

"Besides, if he has the will to live, he'll naturally wake up in ten years, or he'll just die like he courted death~"

Her expression exuded coldness before she turned around, unwilling to look at them.

On the other hand, the two Venerable Pill Emperors became bewildered that even their old minds had no idea what to do at this moment.

Faus Lanate wasn't dead, nor was he crippled but had entered a vegetative state. It would take ten years for him to die, so what kind of situation was this!? Even if they wanted to play the victim, they couldn't just secretly kill their disciple in front of the gaze of millions of people!

In the Alstreim Family's seating area, Davis knew exactly what had happened as he explained to the others who were bugging him to explain.

Forsaken Yin Deathbed, a technique that disabled a person's consciousness as it froze their soul. The freezing cold of the extreme yin would seep in the soul bit by bit until the soul's core would shatter from the invasion, and that would happen in ten years in an excruciating manner.

Indeed, Faus Lanate was experiencing unbearable pain right now, but it didn't show on his face because he was half-dead, just like the time he was wandering between life and death. It would be a nightmare, to say the least.

Unless someone could find a Peak-Level Law Rune Stage Apothecary or a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Soul Healing Pill whose prowess is one level higher, they could forget waking him up.

"Perhaps, the Starnova Emperor might have a chance in helping him."

Natalya dropped these words before moving on.

"Wait, where are you going?" Honorable Elder Julian Kruse wanted to stop her as there were still three other opponents left.

"Open the barrier. The match is already over."

"But they're still-"

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse pointed as he turned to look at the three others but stopped speaking when he saw them frozen solid into ice sculptures. Even Alexi Ethren, a competitor representing her own power, fared no better, shivering like an old man about to die.

*Tatatata!~*

Their teeth rattled as they shivered as though they were put under an ice-cold lake, looking absolutely powerless. In fact, most of their meridians and the majority of their pores were already clogged with ice, making them unable to use any attacks and, therefore, becoming grounds for forfeit by itself.

"You… when did you?" Honorable Elder Julian Kruse's expression twitched as he pointed back and forth, unable to believe his eyes.

The people became shocked at this scene, wondering how it happened as all their attention was on Faus Lanate and the two Venerable Pill Emperors. Not only them but even powerhouses had their eyes narrowed, unable to perceive how she did it.

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse looked towards the two Venerable Pill Emperors, and evidently, even they, Peak-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses, were unable to perceive what Natalya exactly did to their horror. However, Honorable Elder Julian Kruse suddenly flinched, pointing at them.

"Venerable Pill Emperors… that…"

Sunrise and Twilight Pill Emperors calmly turned to look at their robes and saw an icy lotus on their chests.

"…!?"

Their hearts skipped a beat before they hurriedly drove their fire essence energy to eradicate it, causing a scene to happen as they hurriedly patted their chest to shatter the ice lotus. However, even after two seconds passed, they were unable to remove it from them.

Just as they were about to become serious, Natalya appeared beside them at this moment, causing them to freeze.

"My apologies, elders. It's not that I didn't forget, but I was not aware that the elders were this weak."

"You…!"

*Snap!~*

Natalya snapped her fingers, causing them to flinch in self-defense as they gained some distance, but then, they saw the blue lotus that seemed to be regrowing on their chest stop its growth before shattering into motes of ice, disappearing into the void.

The two Venerable Pill Emperors were astounded.

"What the…"

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse also saw his back and discovered a mote of icy-blue light disappear, almost becoming scarred for life as he inwardly cursed.

'Fuck this shit! I didn't sign up for this…!'

He regretted when Davis showed up to battle before, and now, he felt like he had almost lost his life.

For all they knew, it could be the thing that caused Faus Lanate's soul to become stricken with an icy curse.

"Honorable Elder, the others will be back to normal in a few hours, so can I go out now?" Natalya made an innocent face as she asked.

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse nodded his head like a hen, "Yes, you can. You became the winner of this match."

He didn't even give a formal announcement as he opened the barrier, letting Natalya go.

Looking at Natalya's figure, the people were absolutely taken aback by this icy young woman. When she talked, she had no bearing of the women who practice ice laws, sounding cheerful, oozing with an alluring tone, but when she battled, the composure she had shown far exceeded those of Mu Bing or any other ice cultivators they had seen.

It was as though nothing could faze her.

In the northern area, the Four Great Righteous Sect Leaders had their eyes sharply narrowed.

'Could it be that this woman has an Immeasurable Sea? And possibly, has made significant progress in it...!?'

Such thoughts ran in their heads, becoming harder for them to believe the sight they had seen for themselves! ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ Noᴠelꜰire.nᴇt

There were young characters with Perfect Domains, but the characters who conjured Immeasurable Seas in the last few century millenniums could be counted on one hand. Those group of elites running around like Perfect Domain characters of today could only be seen at the time of their founding ancestors and a few generations past that but after that, reaching the Immeasurable Sea became harder and harder to accomplish with the dwindling of wild resources.

Yet, how could an anomaly like Natalya exist now, especially when it is rumored that her talent was the lowest of them all?
