Divine Emperor of Death

Nadia's golden eyes narrowed as a grin appeared on her muzzle, revealing her deadly fangs, "I let you survive, but you now stand brazenly before me?"

"Insolent mutt!" The Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape Ruler took two steps forward as it instantly became incensed.

It was gloriously ruling the Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape Clan, but a random wolf had come from nowhere and utterly ruined its reputation. If it did not take revenge, it didn't know what kind of face it should have while facing the other five Peak-Level King Beast Stage Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes that contented with it.

It was the only one who lived on the edge of the core region, and as for the other five, they each took an area of the fire forest as they lived in unity under its rule! However, if it were unable to take revenge, its inability would definitely bring its might and rule into question!

At that time, it would have a major headache. So, for its sake, it had to kill the Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf!

Its two legs and two arms blazed with crimson flames that soared into the atmosphere while even the surface under it began to melt rapidly, forming lava rocks under each of its steps!

"Stop!"

The Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape Ruler momentarily paused as it looked at the human, but it snorted and continued onward while Nadia began to surge with dark energy eerily spreading around her.

Davis narrowed his eyes, "I said stop, or you leave me with no choice to kill all of you!"

"Shut up, human! With your measly strength, you're capable of nothing!"

The Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape Ruler coldly harrumphed before it began to run but forcefully stopped in the middle of its growing throttle as it saw the Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf's golden eyes dilate into two tiny slits while its hair ended up standing on its end!

The Ruler became bewildered. It felt something extremely odd simultaneously, as if the undulations behind itself were slowly fading away from its senses, making it turn around to check.

*Boom!~~~*

*Boom!~~~*

*Boom!~~~*

The sound of numerous bodies hitting the hard surface echoed as a dirt storm picked up, causing it to blink. However, the more it looked, the more it felt something had happened before its eyes shot wide in shock.

At a glance, they, the fifty-meter Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes, all looked as if they had fainted and collapsed while the seventy-meter tall Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes looked dumbfounded as they looked around.

They were all wondering why all the Lord Beast Stage Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes had collapsed without even giving some sort of warning when they suddenly realized something!

None of them were breathing! The bodies of those collapsed Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes appeared unharmed, but none of them even displayed a sign of life as all their eyes were dull while their bodies remained stiff!

It seems like... hundreds of seventh stage existences had died in an instant!

"You brought this on yourself... you foolish king..."

At this moment, Davis's voice resounded out, making it known that he was the character who was responsible for this silent yet instant massacre.

The King Beast Stage Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes left alive all turned to stare at him in hatred as well as fear, wondering what kind of technique he utilized to kill these hundreds of Lord Beast Stage Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes in an instant.

The Ruler's eyes were bloodshot as it saw its clan members, and even close ones ended up falling to death above the tiny streams of flowing lava. There were at least three hundred carcasses present in its eyes, more than three hundred lives lost just like that. It appeared to be enraged as it turned to stare at Davis, looking as if wanting to kill him many times over as it clenched its sharp teeth!

Davis simply snorted, his expression not experiencing a change, "This is nothing more than a warning, so before it gets worse, I suggest you turn back to where you came from..."

The Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape Ruler trembled as rage erupted from its very bottom of its soul!

"You damned human!!!!"

It jumped, flying straight towards him as brilliant crimson flames surged out of its body!

*Shhh!~*

A wave of darkness surged from below and swirled around before it encased it! The Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape belatedly realized, but his flames still blazed away, exterminating the darkness that surrounded him before launching a flaming fist at the Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf!

Nadia looked at the tornado of blazing flames that threatened to bury in this scorched land. Knowing that the Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape's attack prowess appeared to be greater than hers by a bit, she decisively dodged and shot towards Davis to protect him.

However, at this moment, Davis's lips moved.

"Die!!!"

The Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape Clan's Ruler felt its heart skip a beat as it froze. It plunged towards the ground along with its flaming fist before crashing on the scorched surface, creating a massive crater. It was on its knees as its light-red eyes trembled.

Raising its head, it saw the human possess an indifferent expression on his face before turning to look behind, witnessing the collapsing form of the King Beast Stage Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes with its own eyes.

*Boom!~~~*

*Boom!~~~*

*Boom!~~~*

The sound of seventy-meter tall bodies fell on the ground, invoking a massive dust storm that spread throughout the area as the Ruler witnessed this strange yet incomprehensible phenomenon.

Dead... All of them were dead...

From Low-Level Lord Beast Stage to High-Level King Beast Stage... none of them survived, causing its trembling to not stop but increase in intensity as it realized the weight of the situation!

Why?

No... How?

How was this puny human capable of reaping all their lives without even making a sound...? It wasn't able to understand!

Davis lightly held on to Nadia, who came to his side. While she was watching those King Beast Stage Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes carcasses in utter awe as her dark fur stood on end, Davis felt his sight blur while he felt immensely dizzy.

There was a significant pain in his soul, but that was bearable for him. As he checked his soul sea, he saw that only twelve percent of his soul essence was burned, sacrificed to get rid of these King Beast Stage Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes.

Nevertheless...

"I told you..." Davis's voice echoed, causing the Ruler to look at him with a lost expression on its face.

"Their deaths all are on you now..."

He raised his hand, and a plethora of strange sparks converged, moving towards his direction before entering his soul sea. The Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape Ruler was able to witness all these strange glittering sparks moving towards the human, having no idea on what were those but it definitely knew that it belonged to its brethren and clan members.

Its eyes went bloodshot as sheer rage encroached its heart, but the deep fear residing in its mind to the human's unknown yet terrifying technique made it stay conscious of what it was supposed to do... Its biological imperative wanted it to survive!

"Ruler!!!"

At this moment, the undulations of High-Level and Peak-Level King Beast Stage Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes soared into the area, causing Davis to narrow his eyes in utter annoyance.

"Scram or die!" Davis gave his ultimatum to the Ruler, waiting for its answer while the new Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes approached. However, he wasn't planning on letting it live. He wanted to deal with it later as he felt that he had already used a lot of his soul essence.

Besides, Nadia couldn't possibly take on the both of them. Even if she could, she would be gravely injured, and he didn't want that.

The new Peak-Level King Beast Stage Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape had one of its eyes cut, seemingly having a useless eye. It arrived behind the Ruler soon and turned to look at Davis, its eye narrowing in confusion.

The Ruler's eyes were moist, filled with tears as it turned to look at the one-eyed Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape. They looked at each other for a moment before nodding their heads.

Unexpectedly, the Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape Ruler, at this moment, turned around and swung its arm. A huge scorched boulder came whirling at them, threatening to blast them into pieces when Nadia's dark energy surged out of her body before stopping the boulder as it began to corrode in mid-air.

However, at that moment, the Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape Ruler and along with other Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes, appeared behind the dark veil, causing Nadia's eyes to widen in a panic!

"Die!!!" Davis uttered.

*Rumble!~*

An invisible echo resounded in all of their minds. It could very well be an illusion, but the light in their eyes faded as they all simultaneously began to lose strength from their muscles as they turned stiff while their flames died down.

All of their soul imprints were erased in an instant, causing them to fly past Davis and Nadia as they collapsed on the mountain range, crashing as they invoked a dirt storm again.

However, Davis wasn't fine as intense pain rocked his soul. He believed that his very life was in danger as he felt like his had soul had split apart, causing his sight to completely turn white while all sounds became blank. Momentarily, he even forgot who he was as his mind became clean, making him extremely bewildered as to why he even existed.

A few moments passed before he regained some kind of reason and understanding, but then a completely different, overwhelming pain shot through his soul, making him and his everything tremble as he lost his balance while foaming like a dying, poisoned man.

"Nadia, collect all their carcasses for me. If you can't, then carry Sophie and me away from here to a safe place. Don't stay to fight!!!"

"Fallen Heaven, collect all the dead's soul essences that you come across during this time!"

He used all of his willpower and managed to send a soul transmission before collapsing, but he also further managed to echo out in his soul sea at the last moment by using his last bit of remnant consciousness before he completely fainted, plunging towards the surface.

"Master!" Nadia captured Davis by wrapping her dark wings over him before placing him on her back. She looked around and saw that even the new Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes ended up dead along with every one of them that stayed dead.

She couldn't believe her eyes! This was a complete massacre, and she didn't even see or sense a single technique!

It wasn't an illusion, not one bit like she had doubted or still had some doubts about the situation. Even though her heart couldn't stop pounding, she still remembered what her master said and went around, collecting the carcasses as she stored them into her spatial ring!

It took a while, but she managed to collect all of them before scraming the hell out of here!
