Divine Emperor of Death-Novel



Great Ancestor's Zenflame gaze shook.

Hirona and Sierra were also astounded, even becoming shocked as that person was supposed to be dead.

They knew that Great Ancestor Zenflame's second son, Reselius Zenflame, was bore by his second wife, who was a magical beast. Naturally, they had a fey child, a son. However, their son wanted more strength and ended up touching the realm of savagery, becoming an Immortal Beast who lost his mind.

Naturally, feys can become magical beasts as long as they seek more of their bloodline and even manage to retain their sanity with ease, but what Reselius Zenflame sought out was the apex and didn't come out unscathed, causing him to lose his mind and kill many people in the process, even his own siblings and many members of the small Fire Phoenix Clan at that time.

Therefore, he had to put his loving son down by killing him.

But now, he seemed to be alive?

The two ladies looked at him for answers. However, they only saw his expression tremble heavily.

Indeed, Great Ancestor Zenflame was at a loss.

Of course, he had time and time warned his second son not to be so cold and calculative, and power shouldn't be obtained in that kind of way.

However, it only fell on deaf ears, and it wasn't long before something tragic happened.

To end this madness was to kill Reselius Zenflame, yet, he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he could only cripple him and devoid him of his strength, and lock him up in a cellar for the rest of his life. This was done in secret, so no one except a few of his sons knew the secret.

For Reselius Zenflame to be outside, he couldn't help but wonder who had released him. But it was unthinkable to him that Reselius Zenflame managed to regain his mind, making his expression also turn complex.

"Is this revenge…?" he voiced out in a cold yet shuddering tone.

"Don't be so stupid. Your son only wants to lead the Fire Phoenix Clan to glory like me. We have the same tendency and ambitions, so don't be full of yourself. I don't have a foolish ancestor like you!"

Patriarch Killian Zenflame sneered and left.

Great Ancestor Zenflame could only watch him leave. He wanted to stop him and ask more questions, even if it meant killing his descendant like he should've killed his second son but turning to look at the roaring clouds and black-silver ray of sparkling lightning, he knew what to focus on right now.

"Emperor of Death. Please stop! Your anger is justifiable, but you can't take it out on innocents like this!"

He roared into the skies despite bearing the huge pressure of an Anarchic Divergent's tribulation.

"Please? Justifiable?" Davis's voice resounded slowly, "None of that matters when it's war. Be angrier. Be more furious. Look helpless as you lose your people. Bring out your killing intent. Otherwise, doing this wouldn't feel good for me."

His sneering voice was like a stabbing sword, causing Great Ancestor Zenflame to reel in anxiety and remorse.

"It's all my fault! I should've put a stop to that bastard descendant of mine, but I was powerless, helpless like now, as I haven't reached the Immortal Emperor Stage yet. But as for you, you still have a bright future ahead of you, seeing that you can tackle these heavenly punishments. Don't become like Anarchic Divergents who went mad! There's no coming back from it. Even if you manage to kill us to the core, wouldn't you stop to think about your people who could be targeted because of your actions!?"

His pleading voice abruptly caught Davis in a bind as he came to a stop.

A blackish-red lightning dragon rammed straight toward him, but he merely turned around and slapped with the back of his hand.

"…!"

The sheer sight of that heavenly lightning exploding caused Great Ancestor Zenflame and the Fire Phoenix Clan elders to shudder.

How…? With just his bare hand…?

However, Great Ancestor Zenflame saw something grayish ever so lightly, yet he couldn't tell what it was.

"First of all, I haven't gone mad."

Davis opened his mouth, his voice calm yet cold as he stood in the air and gazed upon them, "I'm not insane but furious, and you people are merely reaping the consequences of your collective actions after I gave you multiple chances. Since you all do belong to one power who share health and wealth, suffer together. If at all my actions comes back to bite me in the back, I'll suffer in my people's stead at that time."

Great Ancestor Zenflame became dumbfounded, but Hirona and Sierra yelled out.

"You revealed yourself as an Anarchic Divergent. The people who will want you dead aren't naive."

"They'll go for your people instead of you! Let's stop this already-"

"Then they have signed their deaths quite early, just like your Fire Phoenix Clan. I won't stop until you people surrender by swearing now, in the heaven's direct presence, so good luck trying to kill your pride and surrendering to an Anarchic Divergent. Who knows what it would mean for the future of your clan with how you people are afraid of karmic burden?"

Davis chuckled as he killed off a few more blackish-red lightning dragons that tried to pierce through him with his Spear of Damnation and shot into the distance once again.

The Fire Phoenix Clan had no choice but to follow him, but they maintained a safe distance from him, knowing that they could be struck by a bolt of five-colored heavenly tribulation lightning again.

"…!"

However, they suddenly saw the Emperor of Death dive down and twist his body, approaching them at an incredible speed!

"You!-"

Each and every one of them were alarmed as they saw the blackish-red lightning dragons shoot toward them as they followed the Emperor of Death. However, just as they tried to gain distance as their speeds were extremely high, not worried if he would catch them, they heard a voice resounding with anxiety.

"Grand Elder Gidian Zenflame! You're finally here, but I don't want your help!"

*Bang!~*

"Oh no! Look what happened to Grand Elder Gidian Zenflame! Don't come near to help me, Elder Corian Zenflame!"

"What!?"

*Bang!!~*The source of this ᴄontent ɪs Noᴠelꜰire.nᴇt

"No!!! Stay away from me, Elder Pieren Zenflame! You secretly helped me know the Fire Phoenix Clan's wrongdoings! How can I watch you sacrifice yourself for me!?"

"No, I-"

*Bang!!!~*

Three bolts of five-colored heavenly lightning struck the Grand Elder, and two Elders Davis named, causing the Fire Phoenix Clan to rapidly retreat, quickly disappearing and appearing thousands of kilometers away. They didn't even stop to look at the elders who were caught in his range and became retarded under the heavenly strikes.

"What in the heavens!? We lost two Immortal Emperors!"

"Great Ancestor Zenflame, what's the range to avoid this unfair treatment from the-!?"

"How should I know!???"

Great Ancestor Zenflame looked enraged yet helpless, causing the elders to reel in fear as they took many steps back. They shivered under his furious gaze and felt scared as they knew they had brought forth a great calamity by listening to their Patriarch, causing three of their cities to be destroyed already, not to mention having lost two Immortal Emperors was a severe hit to their power.

Their loss was truly huge, incomparable to any losses they had suffered in the past millions of years, and unforgivable.
