Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 1755: Crimson Shower

While Davis’s thoughts became a bit convoluted when a person suddenly tapped on his shoulder, making him startled before he turned to look around.

“What’s wrong, brother?”

Clara’s dazzling purple eyes seemed to look at him with worry. She noticed that he didn’t even notice her approaching.

Davis appeared a bit hesitant before he sighed and looked away.

“Clara, do you feel like that no matter what decision you take, the likely scenario you’ll face is that you’ll fail no matter what?”

“What do you mean, brother?” Clara’s eyes narrowed, “Is the Calamity Light that big of a threat?”

Davis nodded but then shook his head, “I’m not afraid, but just a bit lost on what to do. I feel stifled more than I should, so that makes-“

Davis suddenly stopped and blinked as a thin hand blocked his eyesight while he felt his head being caressed. Clara lightly smiled at him as she caressed his head more, although it did not look like she was caressing but enjoying it before she took her hand back.

“There, you should feel better.”

Clara lowered her head a bit before she glanced away.

Davis couldn’t help but smile at her antics.

“You dare to treat the Emperor of Death like this?”

“I don’t know such a person because brother is brother. There’s no use worrying over what we can’t change, but we can still strive to better ourselves so that the things we see in the future might change. Come, let’s continue to comprehend Spatial Laws and see through the void’s veil, brother.”

Clara caught his hand and took him back to the room while Davis could only be dragged along with a heartened smile on his face.

To his surprise, Clara knew how to console people! He was glad to witness the growth as the big brother.

They both sat back as they continued to comprehend from the Space-Attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source. They kept it at half a day, although halfway, Clara broke through, achieving a minor resonance in Space Laws, causing both Davis and Tia to be happy for her.

“My success at this early stage is because of these valuable resources procured by my brother. If it were not for that, it would be very difficult for me to make a breakthrough this quickly.

“Clara, even if it was the case, you were still faster than us. That tells you’re way more capable in Space Laws than we are.”

While Clara appeared to be humble, Davis applauded her talent, for he didn’t think Clara could be capable in Space Laws.

It was only half a day since they started, but Clara seems to have already stepped into the Elementary Intent of Space Laws. Even though the first minor resonance of Space Laws was something that could be comprehended in the Fifth Stage, this kind of speed was still commendable in his eyes and told him of her latent talent in Space Laws.

He hoped that she could strive for excellence and awe people like him as he closed his eyes.

They continued on with their comprehension as they absorbed the pure spatial energy from the Vein Core. Soon, Davis could feel that he was very close to comprehending the first minor resonance when his body shook, a furious intent appearing in his heart that pushed him out of his comprehension state.

‘What is it now…?’

A messaging talisman appeared on his palms as he looked at it glow.

“Kah! You-“

A crimson-robed man looked at a glaive, stabbing into his dantian as he spat a mouthful of blood. He swung his hand that carried a sword to slice his opponent, but he froze. At the same time, the blood energy rose up from the glaive’s blade and destroyed his body, making him explode into innumerable bloody pieces.

*Boom!~*

*Crack!~*

Simultaneously along with his exploding body, a huge gate came crashing down on a fiery pathway as it shattered into rubble. The rubble was crimson in addition to being soaked in the blood of numerous Law Sea Stage Experts. Three characters floated in midair in the skies as they saw the collapsing gate with mocking expressions on their faces when one of them burst out loud.

“Ahahaha! The Crimson Ridge Gate finally fell! Everyone, devour their blood and riches and kidnap their fiery beauties!”

“You dare!?”

Two powerhouses emerged from the collapsing gate as they launched terrifying fiery runic talons with different patterns at the three powerhouses.

*Swu~ vu~ wuu~ vuuuu~*

The sound of a flute playing could be heard as the expressions of the two powerhouses suddenly changed. They hurriedly let go of their attacks and closed their eyes in order to control themselves when they could suddenly no longer take it and screamed.

“Ahhhh!!!”

*Bang!~*

Both their heads exploded at the same time as blood splashed in the air like a fountain shower. Their floating bodies suddenly disappeared as a black-white robe man waved his hand and collected their remains into his spatial ring as a devilish smile appeared on his face.

“Just two Low-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses dare to be so arrogant towards us? Looks like they forgot what it means when facing a hegemon of the wicked path.”

“Deprived Soulstir Emperor, you shouldn’t bully these pitiful half birds.”

A pale handsome young man wearing a blood-red robe while wielding a huge poleaxe devilishly smiled. He was also the person who spoke earlier and commanded to do evil deeds like a bandit. However, his expression then turned into one of lust.

“Otherwise, the pretty phoenix waiting for me will feel pain in her tender yet prideful heart.”

Dust clouds drifted everywhere as the wicked path ninth stage powerhouses and eighth stage experts rushed inside the Burning Phoenix Ridge, attacking whoever they caught sight of.

Blood tendrils spread around the ground and skies as it penetrated through, ominous music played out that made the minds dizzy and depressed enough to no longer care about life, sometimes even squashing their hope. Red-colored lightning bolts zapped through the disciples of the Burning Phoenix Ridge, creating a juxtaposition over the crimson pathway.

Amidst the authority of the three individuals in the sky, the experts and powerhouses from the wicked path rushed their way through the fiery crimson pathway between the valley of crimson mountains, constantly barraging the scenic surroundings with their attacks as they destroyed its magnificence.

It was like a scene out of hell while screams of pleading could be heard.

“Wicked path! I, Karlheinz Strom, will never forgive you, vile people! I will hunt your powers down and make them feel the same despair my Burning Phoenix Ridge felt today!”

“You will all pay for this! I swear it on our phoenix ancestors!”

At the same time, numerous screams of hatred also echoed around the Burning Phoenix Ridge as the powerhouses shouted, appearing to be injured on the cost of killing the enemies while taking damage, not opting to defend. They occasionally glanced at the hundreds of wicked path powerhouses who had collectively besieged their Burning Phoenix Ridge without even giving a warning, their eyes brimming with rage and helplessness.

Three hegemons of the wicked path attacked them just like that, and before they could even respond, the Crimson Ridge Gate that guarded their Burning Phoenix Ridge was destroyed, and although their killing and defensive formations were active, they were being taken care of by the hundreds of powerhouses who used their powers together to defend against their defenses.

“Don’t you two think that the sound of flies is rather annoying? Infernal Lightning Emperor, quickly fry their impudent existences.”

“Ahaha!”

The crimson-robed Infernal Lightning Emperor couldn’t help but laugh before he shook his head.

“It’s here…”

*Boom!~*

A palace’s roof exploded in the distance when a silhouette rushed into the sky while being chased by a huge fifty-meter tall crimson bird. Its ninety-meter wide wingspan broke through the roof and charred many rubbles into ashes, chasing a silhouette to the skies as its magnificent wings turned into brilliant flames, its entire being lighting up into a crimson glow as it seared the air.

Most Burning Phoenix Ridge elders and disciples could see that it was the Ancestral Palace shattering so that Burning Phoenix chasing a person in skies could only be their…

“Ancestor!!!”

They screamed, their hearts boiling with hope while their dropping morale suddenly increased as they let out a war cry. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴo(v)elꜰɪre.ɴet

“Kill!~~~”

They began their counterattack but soon heard a vicious yet mocking voice echo that dampened their hearts.

“He was good for a High-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouse, but it’s a pity I used my poisonous prowess against him! Ahahaha!”

A purple-robed man boisterously laughed as he held his stomach and retreated, moving in a zig-zag movement as he kited Ancestor Cornelia. Soon, he moved towards the destroyed Crimson Ridge Gate as the Burning Phoenix above almost caught up to him with immense speed.

“Spatial Blight Emperor, you bastard! You assassinated him by sneakily using your spatial prowess! Little Reinhardt’s life will be avenged by my talons! Accept your death!”

Ancestor Cornelia’s voice echoed hatefully as her talons struck against the Spatial Blight Emperor. However, three figures suddenly appeared before him before they struck out with their own attacks.

Crimson Burning Phoenix Flames emerged from one side while the other three attacks emerged. Blood coagulated into a big red pole-ax as it struck down, a seamless force came into existence as ominous music played around them as if forming a domain, and a red infernal lightning spear appeared, looking deadly and overbearing as they all struck the Burning Phoenix’s talons.

*Shriek!~~~*

A bird’s cry echoed as Ancestor Cornelia shrieked in pain. Two of her four talons from one of her legs were severed, blood spurting out in copious amounts before she hurriedly retreated by flapping her wings away with high maneuverability.

The four wicked path hegemons didn’t continue forward with their attacks but looked at Ancestor Cornelia with confusion.

“It is unexpected that Ancestor Cornelia isn’t the one who ascended but still, I managed to do my part as I poisoned Ancestor Reinhardt Weiss to death and trapped him in my spatial lock for a few seconds, making him unable to react as he ended up dead. What a poor soul…”

The Spatial Blight Emperor coldly spoke as he smiled while the others still appeared confused.

If Ancestor Cornelia didn’t ascend, then was the news of a heavenly tribulation bogus?
