Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1840 - Catching Up

Clara's purple eyes didn't shine. However, that was because she was wearing a transparent eye veil that blocked the magnificent aura from her Transcendent Truth Eyes.

The Heaven Mandate Temple bestowed this talisman to her with no strings attached because it was necessary for her to remain hidden from the few who knew about Transcendent Truth Eyes. It was an expensive talisman that disguised one's eyes but still allowed them to use whatever ability they had with their eyes, except the efficiency and prowess were lowered.

But still, it packed quite a bit of effectiveness and was the sole reason that the two groups were unable to counterattack or defend in time, leading to their quick loss, which dumbfounded the millions of people watching them.

One moment, the two groups were eagerly fighting, suddenly gaining an advantage over the other, but the next moment, they all, fifty-seven of them instantly lost?

What kind of bullshit was this!? Were people cheating somehow down there? Or was it fixed? Or was it because that young woman known as Clara was that powerful? They hadn't even seen her using her domain, so they didn't know her true prowess!

Many were outraged or awed, but only the powers behind the two groups knew what exactly happened as there was no battle-fixing or such low-level corruption, leading them to be stupefied by their sudden entrance and a quick sweep of their youths like they were nothing but dust.

Clara looked behind and saw that Fiora and Mo Mingzhi were still safe as they flew towards them, ambushed by none because she sensed a few individuals lurking around the corners. Promptly, she stopped using her Transcendent Truth Eyes because it increased her essence energy consumption rate.

Without using her Transcendent Truth Eyes, it would be exceedingly difficult for her to simultaneously restrict many people at a similar level. Therefore, she felt that it was better to keep it unused until she needed it to be used.

Nevertheless, before Clara gave the command to stop the two groups from moving using her Mandate Laws' overwhelming restricting power in addition to using the magnificence of her Transcendent Truth Eyes in a concealed manner, Nora warned everyone with soul transmission.

[

"Don't attack her. She's my friend!"

"Who?"

"Dalila Leehan. The one with the Thousand Pill Palace's emblem..."

]

Everyone didn't attack Dalila Leehan on purpose, and that's why she was the sole survivor; and for transparency, she was in the disadvantaged first group, losing out and could've been possibly ousted if they didn't interfere.

"Dalila, I'm surprised to see you possess a Perfect Domain..."

"My Thousand Pill Palace paid a bit of a heavy price, of course. Nora."

Nora and Dalila Leehan spoke and lightly smiled at each other behind their veils.

"Did we take out your allies?"

"You sure did."

Dalila Leehan wryly spoke before Nora giggled.

"I only care about you, Dalila. You can either join us or admit defeat. The choice is yours to make."

Dalila Leehan became wide-eyed, "What? I can join you?"

"Why not?" Nora looked amused, "Does anyone disagree with me?"

No one spoke but just shook their heads. However, Nora specifically looked towards Clara, wanting to have her input as she was the group's leader.

"This round requires thirty-two people to survive. I don't see why we can't have her on board, second mother."

"Well said, daughter."

Nora looked proud as she smiled at Clara before her gaze returned to her friend.

"There you have it."

Dalila Leehan looked genuinely confused.

If she joined, would that be considered a betrayal to her group? She couldn't understand the intricacies but certainly felt that some people would think that way.

In the end, she sighed, "My Thousand Pill Palace doesn't have talented cultivators in the offensive segment, and that's why they recruit from the outside. They paid a heavy price to bring me, a non-combatant, to this level, but I have failed them now that all eight other than me have been ousted, becoming the only survivor from the Thousand Pill Palace. This burden is quite… heavy."

"Don't think so much. You can join or admit defeat, and that's your wish. As my friend, you know how selfish I am, Dalila. I just want you to be with me, enter the Top 32 for old times sake. After that, it is up to you to advance."

Nora raised her brows, urging Dalila to join with her eyes.

Dalila Leehan hesitated for a few seconds before she nodded.

"Alright, I will shamelessly join your group then..." A blush appeared on her face, but it was hidden behind her veil.

Nora welcomed her along with Claire, but the others looked at her with scrutiny. Still, they continued their journey after Fiora and Mo Mingzhi regrouped. However, there was one other person who looked happy to see Dalila Leehan as they spoke.

"It's been since that time, huh..."

Dalila Leehan smiled.

"Tanya, you seem like you're doing fairly better as well."

The last time they conversed was when they were at Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow's wedding. It couldn't help but remind her of so many emotions that she had already sealed.

However, being reminded of it, she took a deep breath to calm herself before she heard.

"I do."

"I heard some nasty rumors about your power." Dalila Leehan looked at Tanya Frostblight with worried eyes, "Are they true?"

"All of them are false."

Tanya Frostblight couldn't help but scoff.

"The Falling Snow Sect is not suppressed or made into slaves under the protection and leadership of the Alstreim Family. It's the opposite. Look at me. Look at my Ancestor, who has reached Mid-Level Law Rune Stage. We have grown more powerful with the number of resources flowing into the Alstreim Family nowadays."

"It's just the haters and jealous people who have nothing to do in their lives, I see."

"Indeed, but of course, it's not without problems as the Alstreim Family men do bother to initiate romance and try to court us. However, the rule is that they should leave if the maiden says no. It's a direct command from Ancestor Dian Alstreim, so they wouldn't dare go against it."

"I see."

Tanya Frostblight explained, to which Dalila Leehan nodded with a normal smile. During this time, the latter got a closer look at the others, especially Davis's women, wanting to find how strong they were compared to her.

Soon, they ended up encountering another group.

However, this group was smaller than the last two groups, over twenty-two. It made her stunned to see only five of them move out to counter them while the other stayed as if they were plenty sure that the five of them would survive.

And what she saw made her speechless.

Sophie revealed a five-kilometer domain, and using the insights of blacksmithing into her domain, she conjured many, solid-like armaments from her gaseous energy to batter them down, quickly destroying the plethora of attacks they used to defend and attack.

Niera used that blazing flame wheel she saw her use before with her elder sister that mowed and seared a lot of youths in its fiery trajectory. As for the three others, Drake Blackburn, Kara Moonridge, and Tanya Frostblight all attacked with Yang Laws, Yin Laws, and Ice Laws, making a quick work on them that led to flashes of white light appearing every few seconds.

"Amazing, these people have no coordination but are picking everyone out one by one..."

Dalila Leehan couldn't help but utter, which caused Nora to giggle.

"When strength overwhelms, where is the need to coordinate? Clearly, there are only two people with Perfect Domains in that group, and their Perfect Domains even hadn't crossed three kilometers while the five we sent all has five-kilometer domains. This is not going to be much of a battle if you ask me."

"Indeed…"

Dalila Leehan's lips twitched.

At this rate, she felt like she didn't even need to make a move before getting into the Top 32.

Suddenly, they all turned to look towards another direction and saw many icy-blue-robed maidens approach them with full speed. But the thing was, there was an entire group of thirty-two youths on their tail, looking like they wanted to chase them to death as they possessed either amused or nasty expressions on their faces that said that they were hunting.

"Fellow cultivators of the Alstreim Family, lend us a hand~"

A melodious female voice echoed from a distance, causing Clara and the others to raise their brows.
