Divine Emperor of Death



*Shhh!~*

A purple-robed man dodged a row of crimson flames surging towards him, bending his neck as he again dodged an arc of lightning bolting past his forehead. Clenching his fists, he threw a punch into the void, causing a hazy figure to be pushed out, rapidly defending as the figure defended itself by putting up a windy barrier.

At the same time, the purple-robed man used another fist to tighten the hold he had on an annihilative heavenly wind blade. It was still covered in pure white energy, seemingly being refined and turned into essence wisp second by second.

"Hmm… this eighth annihilative heavenly wind blade sure is dense..."

Davis complained as he cast a glance at the annihilative heavenly wind blade that he had caught again. Although it fiendishly radiated a prowess that was at the Level Six Immortal King Stage, it couldn't cut through his hand, not through the gauntlet he wore made up of grayish-silver chaotic energy.

However, the jade-crimson heavenly wind blade was extremely sharp, even putting a dent in his manifested chaotic gauntlet.

"Die!"

Lai, Raves, and the other immortal attacked at the same time.

Crimson-bluish flames, blue lightning, and deadly winds emerged from their palms, striking him at the same time.

*Boom!~*

This time, they saw their powers squarely hit the Emperor of Death's body, turning into an incredible explosion that filled that location into a mess. An Immortal Stage brat possibly couldn't survive that attack, but they knew better to check than to be sorry as they hurriedly scanned the skies, looking for his silhouette in case he somehow escaped.

But even after a few seconds, they saw he didn't reappear elsewhere.

*Whoosh!~*

However, the entire area that had turned into a burning zone of destruction was suddenly swept away by the force of the wind, and what they saw was the Emperor of Death had his arm stretched out as though he had just flicked his sleeve.

*RUMBLE!!!~*

The dark clouds filled with scarlet-black lightning arcing like snakes readily thrummed as though it was going to unleash its final attack. It rumbled heavily as though pronouncing that it would kill him no matter what.

"Impossible…! How is my Regal Flame Body's flames cannot wipe him off?"

"My Celestial Thunder Body is also ineffective..."

"My Stellar Wind Body as well..."

The red-robed man, Lai, and Raves twitched at the Emperor of Death's figure that was shrouded in a grayish-silver hue. They couldn't tell what kind of Law was that supposed to be, but no matter what it was, shouldn't their attacks have some kind of effect on him?

They were Divergent Slayers, but more than that, gifted individuals who possessed the Regal Flame Body, Celestial Thunder Body, and Stellar Wind Body. All three of their energies had one thing in common, and that it was extremely resistant. They possessed a high resistance against powers of the same type.

For example, Lai's Celestial Thunder Body was even resistant to the Obsidian Lightning Kirin's and Blazing Thunderlight Kirin's lightning, and even the Heaven-Tier Spirits of the lightning attribute, making it so that Lai has an enormous advantage over all lightning-attributed creatures as long as he crossed them in cultivation base.

However, their physiques' usefulness didn't end there as they also had the approval of the heavens, practically given a strand of heavenly source that allowed them to punish each villain or anyone who fought against them.

They fought hard using that heavenly property they had in their physiques, but it was unable to do anything to the Emperor of Death, not even have him flinch from experiencing the heavenly aura that would cause the hearts of many to shudder in fear and reverence.

After all, being injured by heavenly lightning was not an easy thing to remove. It was one of the most common yet difficult injuries in the cultivation world that immortals tended to hide as they would have to go through immortal tribulation every nine thousand years.

Was the Emperor of Death immune to their heavenly attacks because he mastered- no, plundered heavenly flames and heavenly lightning that he was impervious to it?

"Damn it… this isn't what we were sent for…! Where is Dead End!?"

Lai sent a soul transmission to the others, his voice sounding to be extremely incensed. The other two also frowned, but the red-robed man responded.

"Raves, only you can stop him seeing that he doesn't let you close to him..."

"I understand."

Raves nodded.

He remembered that although his attacks were taken, the Emperor of Death seemed to be the most careful of him, not to mention that the Emperor of Death seemed to have resistance against the other two.

Therefore, he knew he had to take the chance.

"We'll finish it in the next move."

"Yes!"

Raves commanded, causing the other two to echo. However, they didn't make a move but waited, their eyes glancing over to the skies.

Although the Emperor of Death seemed to have almost finished refining the eighth annihilative heavenly wind blade, they no longer seemed to be worried about it. Instead, there was reverence in their eyes and expressions of piety as they saw multiple figures suddenly appear underneath the dark clouds.

"…!"

However, their arrival was like thunder to them, even though it was deathly silent, with the winds having stopped blowing.

"Tw-Twelve…?"

"No way…"

"Impossible…"

The three of them uttered in horror as they returned their gazes to the Emperor of Death, looking at him have a mocking expression that seemed to be sneering instead of holding fear or dread.

Just what kind of monstrosity was he!?

"Yo, dragon."

Davis raised his hand as though greeting it.

"It's been a while, huh- wait, are you even the same Will? You look quite different, so hazy as though you're going to disappear earlier than the last time."

*Rumble!~*

The dark clouds shuddered as a swirl of annihilative energy descended, brewing into quite a storm above.

Just as Davis was trying to provoke the dragon into attacking him first, his expression faded as he saw a new figure descend.

It was made up of two attributes, crackling scarlet-black lightning and furious jade-green swirling as it took form into a blurry humanoid figure. Annihilative heavenly lightning and heavenly wind surged with intensity, causing the space to rumble before Davis saw that it was a humanoid figure clad in white robes.

Davis's jaw dropped slightly.

A human? What's more, the facial features of that person were distinct enough to be recognized as an individual.

What's going on?

Davis blinked. He was just about to open his mouth when suddenly that figure blinked, turning to look into the distance.

"Hmm? This is… that person's inner world?"

"…!"

Davis's heart shook as he heard the gentle voice of that heavenly human. Not only did this person seem to retain his sentience in this form, but he also knew about the World Master…?
