Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2957 Caught Up



Chapter 2957 Caught Up

"NO!"

The Fire Phoenix Clan's Ancestor shouted, but his voice was unusually meek, as though it already came from a vast distance, causing him to be terrified again. He flailed left and right in mid-air, but it was all useless, causing him to sink into a world of despair as his eyes became dull.

*Badump!~*

It didn't take a second longer for him to disappear from this world, causing countless hearts to pound with fear as they saw the dark cloak again disperse into thin air halfway through its plunge. But for the slightest moment, they didn't realize it was already back in the Emperor of Death's hands.

From a distance, a hidden silhouette watched this scene in shock.

'No way… he already mastered the Deathward Seacloak Dominion!? One mistake and it is assured that he would be gone from this world…!'

"You… bastard! What have you done to my Ancestor!? What kind of Divine Technique is that…?"

Patriarch Killian Zenflame growled as he retreated further, getting his back against the barrier.

"Death is like a shadow. It always follows you around, always hovering right before your neck in an ethereal manner, don't you know?"

Davis kept closing the distance with a wild smirk on his face, causing Patriarch Killian Zenflame to grit his teeth as he cast a glance at the skies.

*Booom!~* *Booom!~*

Venerable Warrior Zermatt still seemed to be occupied in a battle with the Light Dragon Clan's Ancestor.

'What the fuck is that bastard doing instead of slaying the Anarchic Divergent!?' 

Patriarch Killian Zenflame had the intent to curse, but he knew he could not curse someone of that nature as it would only serve to harden his tribulation. The warriors of the heavens could not be offended!

Regardless, he was still in disbelief over the fact that a Level Four Immortal Emperor of his clan had been killed just like that! This time, it wasn't even a sneak attack. The Emperor of Death killed him using a Divine Technique, fair and square!

'Just how could this happen!? How could a mere Level Seven Immortal King be this strong!?'

Patriarch Killian Zenflame could not accept this reality.

After all, the moment a heavenly genius at the Peak Immortal Stage steps into the Immortal King Stage, their prowess, which was generally five levels higher, would drop to three levels higher. Why? It was because the Heaven Immortal Vessel's usefulness decreased as one raised their stage.

What gave them the power to increase three levels higher will now only bestow them with the strength to rise two levels higher.

Moreover, it didn't stop there.

The uniqueness created in one's mortal realm or a born-immortal's growth like the Rune, Crest, and Sigil will degrade within the said person's Immortal Vessel and lower one's prowess. Therefore, a Supreme Immortal Rune, Crest, or Sigil that granted a heavenly genius prowess that's two levels higher will also decrease, becoming capable of releasing only a meager prowess of one level higher.

With that, the heavenly genius who could cross five levels at the Immortal Stage is now only able to cross three levels higher at the Immortal King Stage unless they brought their comprehension to a higher and necessary level that resuscitates their uniqueness, allowing them to cross four levels higher.

But in this case, he was talking about the Emperor of Death.

He was sure he had some kind of overpowered physique that allowed him to be this strong, but why didn't its prowess drop!?

An Immortal Grade Physique would always have its prowess decreased in the Immortal King Stage! And an Immortal King Grade Physique would also have its prowess dropped at the Immortal Emperor Stage! 

Yet, how was the Emperor of Death, despite all this decrease, still able to maintain this ungodly strength he displayed in the Immortal Stage!?

It just didn't make sense! Was he supposed to believe the Emperor of Death somehow rectified and made up for all the limitations of his physique in a short amount of time!? But that would require him to comprehend Quiddity Intent and fuel his physique with the necessary resources to allow it to advance to the next grade!

Considering that the Emperor of Death's physique could be said to be top-tier, something he had even never even seen or heard of before, just how was that possible!?

"Fuck!"

Patriarch Killian Zenflame took a spatial talisman out.

Davis was just about to say that it was useless when he saw the spatial vortex appear and turn stable. Within a split second, Patriarch Killian Zenflame disappeared, leaving behind the spatial vortex, which automatically closed a second later.

Looking at this scene, Davis shook his head and turned around.

"Do you think appearing at the other end of this sealed space is going to help you?"

"No matter how powerful you are at this moment, it doesn't matter. When Venerable Warrior Zermatt comes, you are dead."

Patriarch Killian Zenflame coldly chuckled, "And you won't dare to near me, afraid that you would get caught in this legacy treasure of mine."

And as he did so, he boldly gestured to him at the place where people were plenty.

"…"

Davis glared at Patriarch Killian Zenflame, appearing unamused.

Indeed, Davis didn't get too close and stopped at a distance that he considered could be safe and tried to attack, but Patriarch Killian Zenflame sensed that and escaped to the other side of the city, which was thousands of kilometers away.

He was still within the barrier, so the spatial talisman worked.

Although he could close this distance in two seconds, he narrowed his eyes as he saw the palace the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan stayed in was within that bastard's range.

There was no telling how much damage he could do with that legacy treasure in his hands.

'The fact that he's not boldly coming after me and using High-Grade Immortal Emperor Stage Artifact should mean that there are a few conditions he needed to fulfill before he could seal me? Or am I overthinking, and he's just a coward, after all…?'

Davis inwardly grumbled, but either way, he could tell Patriarch Killian Zenflame was trying to play it safe. Therefore, as long as he didn't attack him, the other party also wouldn't make a move at the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan.

"Emperor of Death! Finish him!"

Abruptly, Third Ancestor Riyard jumped into the fray, pouncing toward the Fire Phoenix Clan's Patriarch. Resplendent jade light shot through the skies like an emerald meteor, intending to crash into the target at full, incredulous speed.

"Old fool!"

Patriarch Killian Zenflame coldly spat out, another talisman appearing in his hands as he threw it towards the incoming Ancestor. It instantly lit up into flames and released a shimmering light, freezing space itself in its wake as the fabric of reality started to burn away from the center.

First, second, third, fourth… until the sixth layer of space was burned like paper.

It was unknown what kind of talisman Patriarch Killian Zenflame used, but it seemed to be an offensive talisman that reached the Late Immortal Emperor Stage. Not even Davis could survive this serene blooming of scarlet flames, therefore-

"Ancestor!"

The Starlight Jade Wolf King roared, his eyes reddening as he saw the jade meteor become absorbed into this vast sea of silent scarlet flames.

Patriarch Killian Zenflame grinned as he saw this scene, looking at the idiots foolishly taking a stance against him.

"…!"

However, his expression suddenly changed, causing him to raise his hands and shield himself with the Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic!

*Bang!~*

"Waggh!~"

Patriarch Killian Zenflame spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling the impact behind the sudden hit as it caused him to be sent flying a few kilometers away. The true power of the heavenly wind was revealed, causing him to inwardly roar at the fact that the Emperor of Death's Immortal Vessel was also at Level Seven Immortal King Stage!

This bastard hid his true strength while battling with a coalition!

Nevertheless, he pushed his thoughts aside and forcefully tried to raise his head to regain balance when his eyes abruptly widened, looking at the cold glare of the Emperor of Death from the side as he was clad in a mist of jade-crimson heavenly wind like a wrathful wind god.

*Ripp!~*

Space tore apart along the tip of his scythe as it arrived at Patriarch Killian Zenflame's neck, whose expression was filled with terror.

But just before it sliced through his neck, the Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic unleashed a bright scarlet glow, causing both Davis and Patriarch Killian Zenflame to disappear!

When Davis came back to himself, he blinked and looked around, noticing that he was in a grand hall decorated and adorned with Fire Phoenix patterns.

"This is…"

"Ahahaha! With this... you are now sealed inside the Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic!"

Davis turned to look at Patriarch Zenflame, who suddenly appeared on the throne, being seated like an Emperor as he coldly cackled down at him.
