Divine Emperor of Death-Novel



*Booom!~*

A huge ball of dark crimson flames exploded on a mountain peak, causing it to turn to ashes within an instant as it created a huge crater that made it look as though a huge mouth had swallowed it whole. The collision and disintegration made for an awe-inspiring spectacle, leaving behind many shocked souls who looked at the source of this attack with immense caution.

"Who are you!?"

A furious yet manly voice resounded throughout the region as he looked at a crimson-white-robed woman hovering in the skies with a majestic elegance, her sleeves gently billowing in the shockwave. Her crimson eyes seemed tranquil, but her stance was hostile towards him.

"Begone~"

She voiced out, causing his golden eyes to squint before he clenched his fist and punched out.

A terrifying golden light erupted, carrying with it a density that could crush Mid-Level Immortal Emperor Grade mountain with durable ores. Its force was such that it moved the mountains underneath, but the most important thing was it gave off an aura, an aura that was all too familiar to Lea and the others.

*Screech!~*

Regardless, a phoenix cry resounded as Lea spread her hands.

Flames amalgamated above her, turning into the silhouette of a mighty Burning Phoenix, blotting out the land. Even the skies were covered by its giant wings that spanned over five hundred meters, the manifestation flapping its wings and bursting forth towards the attack.

*Boom!~~~*

A world-thundering sound chanted across the region, leaving behind a giant crater that was as big as tens of kilometers. It was no doubt if this was the mortal world or the First Haven World, hundreds of kilometers of land would've disappeared from the ground, but since it was a Minor Realm in the true immortal world, there was not a huge disastrous crevasse.ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ N(o)vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.nᴇt

As the dust cleared, two figures could be seen standing opposite to each other.

The golden-robed man clan in white fur around his shoulder stood tall, his blonde hair waving in the wind. His topaz eyes gazed at Lea, appearing to be curious about her as he smiled.

"It's fine if an esteemed being such as yourself doesn't want to announce your name as you're a fairy among fairies, but forgive me for not being able to preserve manners. I have eyes but failed to recognize a phoenix empress like you. The expedition to this realm really is a matter of life and death for all of us, so your consideration of attacking before talking is understandable. I also apologize if I have offended you-"

"Enough talk."

Lea interrupted him, "If you don't leave, you might be reaping the consequences later on."

"And what that might be…?"

The golden-robed man flashed an amused smile as he took a step forward to Lea, appearing a few meters closer before he stopped. At the same time, four others also appeared behind him. There were one woman and three men.

Their looks were dashing and could said to hold a firm aura that made them appear dazzling.

Still, they weren't the focus as the man before them exuded a King-Tier aura. Everyone behind him seemed to maintain a hunched pose as though giving him the respect he deserved. From this spectacle, it could be seen that the man who fought with Lea had a high status, even among geniuses, despite being a Kingly Monarch.

Perhaps it was his achievements that made him appear respected, but either way, Lea frowned a bit, intending to attack when she saw two more groups arrive.

There were ten people, five to her left and five to her right.

Two leaders stepped out of each group as they represented their power. One of them was a man clad in an icy-blue robe. He possessed no pupils and had a cold look on his face while his white hair billowed in the wind.

"Forgive me for intruding, but we all watched the strange tribulation go on, speculating that there might be a treasure. It's not fair for fairy to claim it as yours just because you were here first."

Despite his cold demeanor, his voice was gentle and amicable.

"Or wait…" Another leader, a woman clad in light blue robes, shuddered as she pointed at Lea, "… is she protecting the treasure that formed here? I mean, look at her. She's obviously not emitting transcendent energy undulations but emitting immortal undulations that no one uses these days. Couldn't she be an aboriginal who was abandoned here?"

"Huh? Wasn't the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm already deserted?" The golden-robed man looked confused.

But after being reminded, not only him but all of them looked at Lea with scrutiny, wondering if this was an illusion.

After all, the tyrannical aura of the tribulation clouds left them frozen. Even if they wanted to, they found it difficult to enter this region when other numerous opportunities existed, but now that it disappeared, they came to check.

'Looks like they haven't found out what went on…'

Lea panned her gaze at the three groups.

This was a volcanic region covered by mountains, so it wasn't visible what happened when Epsila and the others underwent tribulation, and nobody dared to fly to the skies in fear of retaliation from the heavens. They didn't want to display the slightest disrespect to the heavens, so speculatively, she concluded no outsider knew what went on.

Nonetheless, she still wasn't willing to entertain them.

She was about to warn them all one last time to leave when a light breeze caused her crimson hair to flail, putting a delightful smile on her face.

"Golden Dragon Lower Realm's Brisc Goldpeak, Frozen Wasteland Lower Realm's Ark Saken, and Tranquil Lotus Lower Realm's Katusha Amaidhi…"

Davis panned his gaze at the three leaders who stood before Lea, now knowing if he should be bothered or intrigued as they weren't from Upper Realms enough to threaten his group.

Even now, Nadia's three doppelgangers hung behind them like a death reaper. They couldn't be any deader than dead in his eyes, but he didn't unleash any carnage or give any orders to Nadia. After all, they had to minimize their killing as much as possible to not interfere with their bright destinies.

However, he wondered if he should do anything about this golden-robed man called Brisc Goldpeak, as he was a part of the power that Bylai had been born from. He imagined that she must have some relation to these people, even if the ancestral connection was way too distant that they were good as strangers.

On the other hand, the three of them narrowed their eyes as they saw the sudden appearance of the purple-robed man, causing them to be alarmed as they didn't sense him at all before he appeared in their gazes. However, they weren't surprised to be called their names as they were indeed famous.

At least, this told them that these people weren't aboriginals as they initially presumed because they heard that this realm was closed off from the outside world; therefore, if there were any people left, the Astral Pill Upper Realm and Forgeheart Peak Upper Realm would've taken care or evicted them by now.

"…!"

But suddenly, Ark Saken of the Frozen Wasteland Lower Realm's legs gave away as he felt the purple-robed man's gaze on him. There was this heavy feeling where he felt like making the wrong move would buy him a ticket to the reincarnation cycle.

Indeed, Davis was glaring at Ark Saken. However, he rubbed his forehead as he wondered.

'If I remember correctly, wasn't the Frozen Wasteland Lower Realm previously known as the Forsaken Yin Lower Realm…?'
