Divine Emperor of Death

Evelynn possessed a bright smiling face underneath her black veil. The same could be said about Eldia. She was flying around Evelynn, and by this time, it became clear to everyone present here that it was a way to express her happiness.

They both were thrilled with Nadia crossing her immortal tribulation, finally allowing her to step into the Immortal Beast Stage.

However, their expressions froze as they inclined their heads above.

No, they were not looking at the dark clouds because they were already receding, signifying the end of the immortal tribulation. What they were looking at was the projection of a star diagram- no, a mountain-sized dark wolf that covered their entire vision.

It spread its wing far and wide, looking at them with dark purple eyes that shot a pang of fear into their hearts.

Even Davis's body went stiff at this sight. Their vision even blurred as though they could not touch upon its identity.

However, what was even more ridiculous was that Nadia began to grow. Her body enlarged, and her wings stretched.

From the size of a man to the size of a huge beast, she grew to a whooping ninety-meter tall wolf, her body length measuring about a hundred and fifty meters long. Each of her three tails was around sixty meters in length, absolutely capable of crushing an entire palace to smithereens. Furthermore, her massive wings that spanned about the size of her body length beautifully stretched and hid the sunset, turning the area dark as it cast a big shadow on them.

Davis and the others remained dumbfounded, but they were also awestruck while they sensed her terrifying immortal undulations.

The sight they were seeing became etched into their souls, never to forget.

The next moment, the deathly aura surging from Nadia's body began receding while the vague projection that covered her and the entire region disappeared without a trace.

When Davis came to himself, he flinched, "Quick! We have to leave!"

Nadia had just settled in the Immortal Beast Stage, having gained a dantian in her body that supported Essence Gathering Cultivation while her magical beast core inside her head remained the same. Just when she wanted to check for changes, she heard Davis's alerted voice, causing her to come out of her reverie.

Her eyes shot open wide, revealing her huge purplish-golden eyes that saw beyond the mist covering the mountains. Numerous dotted silhouettes could be seen approaching from the distance, their undulations blaring yet still not having reached their location yet; she could sense that they had 'life'.

"Untouchable Dark Disappearance~" Her lips moved as a melodious voice echoed.

At the same time, one of her giant wings that shrouded the area swooped Davis, Evelynn, and Eldia in a gentle embrace as she looked around and then left in a particular direction. However, her three tails waved, causing an intense storm to surge as all the undulations and remnant aura were overthrown by her sheer strength.

Within a minute, a brigade of immortals appeared in this place.

There were eight of them wearing golden robes, while the one in the front was draped in a luxurious crimson robe. It had wonderful golden phoenix stripes, making him appear like an emperor.

Their gaze wandered over the area, but the crimson-robed man's gaze was on the location where the ground was slightly scorched. He then looked above, noticing that there were signs of dark clouds receding while the heavenly tribulation aura still encompassed the area.

Then without any indication, the group of eight behind the crimson-robed man spread out, seemingly searching for clues.

"This is the aura of an Immortal Beast..."

"Boss, an immortal tribulation seemed to have just concluded, but like the strange incident we're looking at, the tribulation-goer seems to have left the location already."

"This… this is a dark-attributed magical beast..? As for its race… judging from the aura, I can't say for sure, but from the huge image we vaguely caught sight of, I think it's not a bit of a stretch to assume that it's a wolf."

"Wolf?" The crimson-robed man raised his brows, his expression becoming curious.

It was one of his men who encountered the appearance of the huge projection in the skies, and he knew what that meant. It meant that a magical beast had a strong connection with its bloodline, able to access all of its powers due to more than ninety-nine percent purity.

His mind went to the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan that had recently made a scene in the Western Ascendance Monument and its ruler, the Starlight Jade Wolf King. However, the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan place was full of light, wind, fire, and water attributed wolves, but they were talking about a dark-attributed wolf. Was this wolf persecuted and discriminated against to make a breakthrough in this nowhere?

In reality, seeing dark-attributed wolves act like nomads wasn't suspicious. Still, he didn't know the specifics but couldn't help but ask, "What of its species?"

"Boss, I've never sensed the aura of an Emperor Rank or Immortal Rank Dark Moonshade Wolf, so I can't identify if this dark-attributed wolf is indeed the Dark Moonshade Wolf." That golden-robed man embarrassedly scratched his head.

"It's not the only dark-attributed wolf there is but fine." The crimson-robed man ruefully shook his head, "I'll deem this ignorance of yours as a given since dark-attributed wolves are rare to encounter."

"Why are they rare to encounter?" Another person couldn't help but ask.

"I know! It's because they are said to encounter an immortal tribulation with eighteen strikes, so their survivability rate is truly low."

"Eighteen strikes immortal tribulation? What!? A unique heavenly tribulation factor? Doesn't that mean that they would be a descendant of a Paragon Magical Beast like us!?"

Shock and disbelief seemed to be prevalent amongst the golden-robed men.

"That's likely the case since the heavens deemed them worthy of a higher-level tribulation."

The crimson-robed man perfunctorily nodded his head, "So what else have you all discovered?"

"Boss, these two Immortal Vacuous Beasts' carcasses radiate a putrid stench and an off-putting aura, not to mention that its toxic blood has erased any amount of remnant aura in the air or on their carcasses, so we're unable to identify what killed them."

"However, since their undulations are at Level Four and Level Five Immortal Stage, I think it's safe to assume that the dark-attributed wolf that underwent its immortal tribulation had just gone through its Mid Immortal Beast Tribulation, causing it to reach Level Four Immortal Beast Stage. Otherwise, I don't think it would've been able to kill these Vacuous Beasts."

The crimson-robed man listened to his subordinates before his chin slightly lowered, seemingly in contemplation.

"A lightning-attributed spirit that had undergone its first Immortal Tribulation and a dark-attributed wolf that seemed to have crossed its Mid Immortal Beast Tribulation. Hmm…"

After a short while, he raised his head as his eyes flashed in a fierce crimson light.

"This can't be a coincidence when two tribulation-takers seemed to go missing in a short period of time just like that. If they're not missing and actually fled using Unobtrusive Spatial Talisman or with the help of some other expert, then it is all the more evident for us to take them more seriously. In the righteous name of our Fire Phoenix Clan, I hereby commence a level one hunt."

"Whoever spots or captures that lightning-attributed spirit and the dark-attributed wolf will be rewarded up to five hundred thousand immortal crystals, and depending on the strength of the adversaries, the rewards will only increase. You can gain many contribution points to exchange resources as well."

"Now spread out."

"Yes!"

The eight golden-robed immortal beings roared and shot forwards in eight directions, releasing Level Nine Immortal Beast Stage undulations while the crimson-robed man calmly returned his gaze to the epicenter of the immortal tribulation, his brows frowning before he turned to look in another direction.

It was the direction Nadia had escaped.

However, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease while looking in that direction.

Immortal King undulations churned out from his pores, surging below his feet. His figure flickered as he directly shot in that direction, flying with an incredible speed!

In the distance, Nadia flew with her wings gliding amidst the mountain breeze. She was like a fish in a sea, not encountering any resistance.

She flew past the mountains, soaring through the dozens of valleys as she entered a complex terrain. She even passed through a bandit stronghold filled with immortals, but nothing caught her presence as she was completely wrapped in death.

Even a Level Eight Immortal bandit was unable to catch onto her presence.

Davis was utterly awed by Nadia's capability. They had mounted behind her coat of fur around her nape that Eldia even rolled around the fluffy softness of Nadia's body, appearing unworried.

Even Davis and Evelynn looked the same, enjoying the sceneries that disappeared from their gaze quickly.

After all, if any remnant aura remained in the location of the immortal tribulation, they were scattered into the vicinity as they mixed with the aura of the heavenly tribulation. Moreover, the bloodthirsty aura and blood of the Vacuous Beasts left a putrid stench and a pervasive atmosphere, leaving it practically impossible to find exactly what had happened.

They could only hope that those trackers hadn't seen that huge projection that appeared after Nadia transformed into an Immortal Beast.

But at this moment, Nadia abruptly slowed down as she hovered in the air like a feather.

A golden-robed man rushed past them in the distance, his soul sense scanning around. He paused for a moment, squinted his eyes for a second or two before directly descending on that bandit stronghold, and began to wreak havoc, bringing about utter destruction in the righteous name of the Fire Phoenix Clan as scarlet flames swirled and burned mountains into ashes.

"Is that Fire Phoenix Clan's Law Enforcement?"

Looking at those words etched onto that golden-robed man's back and arm, Davis's lips couldn't help but twitch.

How had they attracted such a response from the get-go?

A Level Nine Immortal Beast was sent to investigate them? Wasn't this overkill? Or was their Prefecture's security tightened after the events of the calamitous Vacuous Beasts?

However, if he thought a Level Nine Immortal Beast was overkill, he didn't expect the next misfortune to drop in, causing his jaws to drop as intense pressure descended on the region.

*Whoosh!~*

A crimson-robed man appeared in the air, his sleeves fluttering in the wind as he seemed like an emperor. His gaze was on the bandit stronghold that the golden-robed immortal was wreaking havoc in. However, his gaze stayed only there for a moment before he panned his gaze.

"Lightning spirit and the dark-attributed wolf. I'll give you three seconds to show your faces, so don't waste my time."

*Bzzz!~*

Waves and waves of Immortal King Beast's undulations surged out of him, causing Davis and the others to hold their breaths.
