Divine Emperor of Death



"I heard that Xue Lei from the Xue Family is an existence who supersedes a Heavenly Monarch. Is that true? Could it be that I met the person himself?"

"What's a Heavenly Monarch?"

"Oh… I have to begin from there…?"

The lanky youth appeared speechless before he facepalmed, "For heaven's sake. You people think that you might've closed off your realm to protect your ailing immortal cultivation method, but the truth is, the cultivation world ignored and abandoned you. Do you even know that the realm you're in, the one gloriously called the Rising Human Lower Realm, is known as the Abandoned Immortal Lower Realm nowadays?"

Davis's mouth went agape, looking shocked.

His reaction only bolstered the lanky youth's smile.

"Such a bumpkin you are. Obediently leave your spatial ring and scram. Perhaps, I'll leave you with your clothes unharmed."

"You… you got your head flipped from Fairy Seila's kick that you now love men?"

"Fuck! Courting death!"

"Eiren!"

"I know…"

This person appeared between them without even revealing a single strand of aura, allowing him to understand that they were facing an expert in concealment, which was difficult to deal with. After all, if the other party wanted to escape, they could do nothing about it.

"Well, you can attack me or leave me alone. But first, let me make things clear by saying that I won't attack unprovoked."

Davis spoke in a firm voice. He believed that this was truly some sort of secret realm since he was encountering strong Transcendents who appeared to be on the top of their cultivation path, calling themselves Heavenly Monarchs, which meant that he would probably be offending extremely powerful factions in the true immortal world, which was the last thing he wanted to do after entering the true immortal world.

However, what he needed for himself, what he needed for his women, he would obtain.

"Obediently leave this area as the Blazing Embercap Mushroom belongs to me. I was here first."

"What a farce. We killed the feral beast guarding it, so it belongs to us!"

"I see. Have a nice day— You think I would say that?" Davis shook his head, "I didn't expect for the five of you to defeat it any quicker, so I've kept watching, but now that I know you people could, it's already too late. Then it begs the question— what can I do?"

"You can scram."

The lanky youth coldly cackled, causing the others to laugh as well, their expressions full of jeering.

But Davis appeared to have an amused expression on his face, his lips curling.

"I wish I could, but none of you are strong enough to make me scram, not even five of you altogether."

"…"

Davis's words made them appear to stop laughing, their expressions turning unamused. However, Davis seemed hasty as he gestured.

"Quick. Make your decisions. I'm itching to get some exercise with opponents of my level because all I get are Late Stage Immortal Emperors ghosts haunting me. Oh, in your case, should I mean Late Stage Sovereigns, right?"

"…"

"Hmph! Pure bullshit!"

Another crimson-robed man harrumphed, causing Davis to turn to look at him.

"Indeed. I lied because it won't be an exercise but a slaughter once we start."

Eiren looked at Davis coldly but inwardly, he was overcome with shock as he couldn't sense any blind spots even with the other party's back turned towards him.

Before that, he discovered this bastard pretty much made a preemptive move to target the weakness of their Pentacrimson Emberweaver Formation, which was their center where their energy converges to combine their strengths with minimal loss, practically locking their combat prowess.

Still, the other party's true prowess was yet to be seen, causing Eiren to smirk inwardly.

'If you thought that you have us in your palms just because you targeted the weakness of the Pentacrimson Emberweaver Formation, then you're very wrong because the weakness can also be utilized...'

He thought before suddenly taking out something, and as though they were all in sync, they acted at the same time, causing Davis's gaze to flicker.

"Aha! Die!"

The five of them held five cores in their hands. It seemed to be the formation cores of the battle formation they had used, but the moment they were taken out, their round figure became encased in sparks before it seemed to melt from outside to inside.

*Booom!!!~*

  A huge explosion rocked between them, causing them to be sent flying like kites that had their strings cut. A few even spit a mouthful of blood as they appeared to be injured. Although the level of injury was unknown, they quickly recovered with a backflip and retreated in five directions, appearing over the branches of the giant trees as they looked at the huge explosion that caused immense destruction.

They waited for the smoke to clear, their senses encapsulating the area like they were hawks preying on a rabbit hole. But a few seconds later, their expressions eased.

"Tch, with this, the Pentacrimson Emberweaver Formation is useless, but at least we took care of that powerful immortal…"

"Using something like that for a foe, we hadn't assessed to be a huge threat yet? Your overcautious kink has shown up, Eiren. If it weren't for that, I'm pretty sure you would have a huge harem by now..."

The alchemist from their group chuckled, causing Eiren to sigh as though he was tired.

"Ai~ I could at least work towards that now, but it's a pity that we didn't even know his name. How cool would it be if we had actually managed to take down Xue Lei? Even Fairy Seila- I mean, that bitch would fall for me."

"Name's Davis Loret."

"…"

Eiren had been squatting on the branch as though resting when he heard an amused voice. For some reason, he became frozen like a statue, unable to move, but his pupils moved towards the side, noticing the purple-robed man squatting like him inches away from him, their knees almost meeting.

"…!"

He didn't move, but his teammates noticed, their expressions reeling in disbelief as they took out some kind of talismans, waiting to unleash it while on the other side, Davis turned to look at Eiren, his hand slowly reaching out to his head before he grasped his ponytail.

*Bang!~*

With a flick of his hand, Davis sent Eiren's head smashing against the thick wooden branch, breaking through its density. However, Eiren's momentum didn't stop, crashing and breaking through the giant branch all the way down to the ground as his head became buried in the ground along with half his body!

At the same time, numerous Immortal Emperor explosions shook the world as the branch Davis remained on was completely obliterated, flames enveloping the entire tree as it instantly turned into ashes!
