Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1478 The Source Speaks Out



"Impossible..." Ancestor Bing Hua faltered as she took a step back, her eyes looking as if she had seen a ghost, "That's a High-Level Emperor Grade Blood Soul Contract that even a Soul Emperor would find it difficult to break..."

"But grandmother, I really can't fee-"

Sect Master Bing Luli abruptly stopped.

"..."

Everyone suddenly went stiff as if they were electrocuted. Their heads slowly turned towards Myria, their eyes perceiving that she had an amused expression on her face.

"...!"

Their hearts couldn't help but tremble in disbelief!

Could it be that Myria really became a Soul Emperor!?

Myria smiled as she suppressed her laughter.

"I'm not what you all think I am. I haven't entered the Soul Emperor Stage, at least, not yet, but I'm pretty close."

Ancestor Wan Lanying shook her head in disbelief.

"No way..."

"You're at the Peak-Level King Soul Stage..." Ancestor Xia Yun uttered as she sucked in a cold breath of air.

"Not quite right..." Myria shook her head and giggled, "I'm currently at High-Level King Soul Stage. If you want, you can address me as Soul Queen Myria. I quite like the sound of it, but I can't wait to become a Soul Empress either. Still, this is rather problematic... I wasn't intent on revealing my cultivation until I became a Soul Empress, but whatever, I'm not worried."

Myria lazily smiled as she ran her fingers through her white hair.

"But, still..." Ancestor Bing Hua constantly shook her head in denial, "Even a Soul King would not be able to-"

Myria interrupted as she raised her hand, "Did I ever say that my prowess is limited to High-Level King Soul Stage?"

This time, their expressions completely became exaggerated as their mouths went agape again! They tried to speak, but nothing came out of their mouths that, at this point, they were only capable of mumbling out incoherent sentences towards the monster in front of them.

"Myria... you..." Sect Master Bing Luli's big breasts shook heavily as her body trembled, "You really are a Soul Empress at this point..."

"Perhaps..." Myria faintly smiled, remaining vague about it.

"However, don't bring me this nonsense and say it is a Blood Soul Contract. It's nothing more than a knot that you tie over your heels. It wouldn't take me much time to undo it even if my prowess was at the bottom of the King Soul Stage."

The four beauties couldn't help but flinch again.

Exactly who was this woman who seemed to know about everything, even the method to easily impair a High-Level Blood Soul Contract in a mere few seconds!?

While all of them were dumbfounded, again and again, Ancestor Bing Hua couldn't help but recall.

"That means the Low-Level Emperor Grade Blood Soul Contract we had you sign to be loyal to the Mystic Ice Sect was..."

"Useless long ago..." Myria shrugged with a faint smile on her face.

Ancestor Bing Hua's lips couldn't help but twitch.

At that time, they were suspicious of Myria and had no choice but to make her agree to be loyal to the Mystic Ice Sect through this method. It was a quicker yet surefire way to recruit someone suspicious and make sure they were loyal, but in front of Myria, it seems that it was as good as non-existent.

"But it doesn't mean that I'm going to betray the Mystic Ice Sect that took care of me well." Myria giggled slightly, her melodious voice echoing as she continued, "Instead, I'm going to shower it with riches and make sure all four of you step to the peak in this world."

The four pounding hearts of the Ancestors shook, making them feel goosebumps.

"Luli, you're still young and have a bit of chance to enter into the Immortal Stage, so don't slack on your cultivation."

Sect Master Bing Luli subconsciously nodded her head as if she was the disciple. Myria panned her gaze before she shook her head.

"Although it is possible for the others, I wouldn't count on it unless you're all ready for some gruesome training and lectures held by yours truly. However, I'm not willing to take any disciples unless the three of you take me as your master. You see, I'm not willing to waste time for people whom I'm going to part with. There are numerous passing clouds, but I can't keep remembering all of them unless they are distinct enough to catch my attention."

The three Ancestor's eyes shook as they heard her words. It really gave them confidence as Myria was increasingly proving herself to be someone highly capable and knowledgeable, far more than them, but Ancestor Bing Hua didn't get ahead of herself as she sighed. She knew her chances the best.

Peak-Level, sure, but Immortal? Not a chance. Her old heart couldn't take the disappointment she felt for herself.

"Then I'll not resist either..."

Ancestor Bing Hua closed her eyes and waited.

Myria saw her rigid expression for a moment before she raised her arm, her thin yet snow-white fingers lazily hanging before she raised her palm. Her soul force shot into Ancestor Bing Hua's soul sea and found the manifestation of the Blood Soul Contract on the soul essence. Her soul force uniquely injected itself into the manifestation and untied it, causing the Blood Soul Contract to quickly collapse.

"...!"

The whole thing was like a miracle that quickly became apparent when Ancestor Bing Hua opened her eyes, looking shocked. The Blood Soul Contract placed by that Heaven Gazing Sect Elder was really gone, and not only that but the previous bindings she had on herself from her entire life, they were all gone!!!

She was now free as a prideful swan!

She quickly told Ancestor Wan Lanying and Ancestor Xia Yun what had happened and had them quickly go into the state of not showing any kind of resistance after convincing them of her current state.

Myria curled her lips, wondering if they were treating her as free assistance, but she didn't mind at least doing this for them as they had fairly protected her from dangers when adventuring, unaware that she was becoming powerful by herself.

She used their strength to get so many resources that could only be found using her wits, so it was reasonable that she pays back the gratitude. However, she already paid it back by having them extend their lifespans by a significant degree, so this was nothing more than extra benefits from having her in their power.

The two Ancestors acquiesced a moment later and swiftly found themselves finding a release from the multitude of Blood Soul Contracts they had on them, mostly imposed by their previous sect elders and ancestors. They felt as if their souls were free of burden, making them feel youthful again though they also understood that it was nothing but an illusion.

"Thank you, Myria. We'll never forget this favor. Even if you're the source, we'll never sell you out!"

Ancestor Bing Hua clasped her hands in respect as she bowed, followed by the three other beauties.

"Source?" Myria narrowed her eyes before she raised one of her brows, "So that's what it was... You were bound by that contract to not tell anyone about the source of the Calamity Light, which you all mused that it was me."

"Yes..." Ancestor Bing Hua smiled wryly and explained how the Four Great Righteous Sect were delaying the Nine Western Territories Young Expert Competition in search of the source.

"... Therefore, I also think that you cannot be the source. The Heaven Gazing Sect's Honorable Elder Julian Kruse told us that it might be possible that the source could also be a treasure or a creature from another race. There's no reason-"

"Unfortunately, the source is me..."

Myria sighed as she didn't think someone would still be searching for her after so many years that were unknown to the current her. On the other hand, the expressions of the Ancestors' and Sect Master Bing Luli changed because of her direct admission.

"However, don't misunderstand. The reason for that spatial tear may mostly be me as I failed to hide, thinking that I wouldn't be searched specifically in this place after so many unknown years have passed, but it seems like I was dead wrong. Nevertheless, capturing me because I'm the source isn't good for you or anyone in various ways."

"A fine example is that capturing me wouldn't do anything significant for you or the Fifty-Two Territories because I muse the only way to stop this calamity is for me to become an immortal and ascend, capturing that lunatic's attention away from here, but if I fail to ascend while the spatial tear opens wide, then it is set in stone that a plethora of powerful characters are going to descend along with that lunatic who wants to obtain me, making this place a living hell and a mine of opportunity for a select few young people who can't be said to be lucky exactly, although I muse that you would all become slaves of the worst kind without fail because no one is going to care about what happens in a hidden world."

Myria pursed her lips and tilted her head before she continued.

"Also, even if I leave, there's still plenty of chances that this world is still going to be invaded since I already have an inkling of who this entire world belongs to..."

Her eyes shone in a different light as she spoke in an awed tone.

"Even I in my past life would've wanted to trespass this world, much less the ones who have waited all their lives to enter this world..."

'But ironically, I've been granted asylum for some heaven-forbidden reason I don't know of...'

Myria mused at the end as she smiled wryly. She was aware that she might be the reason for the calamity of this world, but she had no thoughts of redeeming her mistake. She wasn't foolish enough to sell out herself, nor did she become influenced by Ellia to become a softy.

At this moment, her title back in the outer world resounded in her ears before she shook her head.

She was done with helping people cross hurdles indiscriminately long ago because the only gratitude she got in return was contemptible betrayal!

"..."

Myria abruptly came out of her reverie and saw that they were looking at her as if they were looking at a ghost. She smiled, knowing their horizons were small and her speech was too much to bear, but she wasn't worried about them leaking this matter as she was confident enough to defend herself.

"Mhm, seems like I spoke a lot..." She spoke and woke them out of their reverie, "No wonder people refrain from telling big matters at the same time. Do you feel despaired all of a sudden?"

The Ancestors touches their faces to see if they were sweating, but they didn't. However, they indeed felt the chill that made them feel horrified for the future.

What exactly did they hear just now?

Is it possible that there is any hope for the future at this rate!? They did clearly hear that even if Myria ascended, this world was still going to be invaded!

Their hearts kept pounding without stop as they heard this revelation, unable to answer Myria's question as they truly felt that she was not lying.

Sect Master Bing Luli gulped as she asked with her eyes wide.

"Myria, were you an immortal in your past life?"

Myria's brows furrowed as if she found this question offensive. Sect Master Bing Luli panicked and was going to tell that it was fine if she couldn't answer when she suddenly saw her lips move.

"Don't lump me in with those tiny characters. I can squash them with a single flick of my finger in my prime, you know..."

"..."

As Myria's displeased voice resounded out, the beauties of the Mystic Ice Sect felt like fainting as their entire bodies went stiff.
