Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Davis's voice was not loud, but it could be heard by those who possessed a wide range of senses.

Ellia's heart almost skipped a beat as she heard him describe her as though she was a precious treasure. She heard him say that she was special and that alone caused her to feel like she was living in a dream. However, a melodious voice resounded in her soul sea.

"Pfft! Hahaha~"

Myria laughed heavily, causing Ellia to become embarrassed.

"What's so funny?"

"I stole you, it seems."

"Don't be such a tease." Ellia pouted, "He doesn't know yet."

"He doesn't need to." Myria disagreed, "However, he is indeed amusing to put it that way. To even steal myself, I would have to be crazy as he describes."

This time, Ellia couldn't help but silently giggle. For Davis to have amused Myria, it could definitely be considered a win in her mind.

On the other hand, the Mandate Emperor and Karmic Guardian Emperor were quite dumbfounded and a bit hesitant. It seemed like Davis was serious.

However, to ask for the treasure's characteristics was the only way they could proceed with reconciling the two of them, but after hearing that the Emperor of Death mentioned that it was special, it would be incredibly rude for them to ask of its details.

For all they know, it might have the secrets to why Myria had gotten this strong.

Nonetheless, Myria's origins were basically confirmed at this moment that they could tell that she had come from the same place as the Emperor of Death from hearing his words. So they could more or less form theories as to what it might be.

They were just about to speak something when their expressions changed as they turned to look towards Myria, only to see that the Vast Sky Emperor had reached her location.

'That vile fellow… what is he planning on doing?'

They both thought before their expressions changed. Could it be that he was going to wrest that treasure away from Myria?

Considering his plight, he really might dare to do it!

"Starnova, quick! Stop him!"

They both sent their soul transmissions to Starnova Emperor, who followed the Vast Sky Emperor after he saw him heading towards the Vast Sky Emperor.

Starnova Emperor's expression had just changed when he was just about to rush when he stopped, looking at the scene before him.

The Mystic Ice Sect's Ancestors and Sect Master tried to block him, but Myria waved her hand, causing the Vast Sky Emperor to walk freely amidst the maidens of the Mystic Ice Sect as he neared her.

Instantly, everyone saw that this Myria had a bigger say than the Mystic Ice Sect Ancestors. Or perhaps, because the Vast Sky Emperor appeared, they didn't dare to act too rashly.

In any case, the authority Myria held in the Mystic Ice Sect became plain to be seen.

The Vast Sky Emperor stood in front of Myria as he smiled and clasped his hands.

"Fairy Myria, it is your ability that got you to this level. You have no need to return what you obtained. I, the Vast Sky Emperor, can promise you that the Four Great Righteous Sects will help you retain all your resources as long as you swear that you won't betray the righteous path unlike someone else."

Myria blinked. The fluttering of her eyelids was like the flapping of the wings of the butterfly, extremely enchanting to look at. The Vast Sky Emperor was momentarily stunned by her mesmerizing beauty before he saw Myria's hand raise but appeared hesitant as though she wanted to reach out to him and touch his face, but in the end, she retracted her hand.

"Now that I look closely, I find that you are quite handsome."

The Vast Sky Emperor grinned on receiving this praise from Myria that he cupped his hands again.

"Many than-"

*Paah!~*

Suddenly, a loud slap resounded in the New Era Battle Arena, causing the Vast Sky Emperor to fly like a kite that its strings cut. It was as though time had slowed down, allowing everyone to witness his body spinning in mid-air as he kept spraying a mouthful of blood.

It was a terrific yet comical sight that millions of jaws continued to drop one after another that the current battle that was occurring above the battle stage was seen by no one, not even by the competitors' own relatives.

Myria had her hand still stretched, her tempting figure standing in a graceful slapping posture.

"So handsomely ugly that you're more irritating than him to look at~"

Her expression was scrunched into one of disgust, but no one could see that as the veil blocked it. However, people could hear the disgust in her voice.

The Vast Sky Emperor spun like an idiot before he managed to regain his balance somehow before he could hit the ground. For a moment, he didn't know what had happened. When he moved his tongue and felt half of his teeth missing, his expression became furious as he comprehended that he had been slapped into having half of his face caved in!

He was not infuriated but enraged to be slapped in front of the entire world. Killing intent appeared in his eyes as he turned to look around at Myria, only to see her flick her sleeve.

"Never show your face in front of me again. Now, scram~"

"You…!" The Vast Sky Emperor pointed his hand at Myria in rage, "Bit-!"

*Boom!~*

Soul force converged into a concentrated mote of dark illumination and struck him.

The Vast Sky Emperor was sent tumbling into the air again as he sprayed blood like a fountain.

Myria blinked before she turned to look at Davis. She was not the one who attacked the Vast Sky Emperor just now.

"My business with Myria is mine alone. Anyone trying to interfere with it will be met with my full might."

The other three Emperors shuddered ever so lightly, realizing that this warning from Davis was also for them.

At this moment, the Vast Sky Emperor had also regained his balance again, turning to look at Davis. Even though there was rage visible on his face, his eyes were filled with terror. Just now, he found that he absolutely couldn't resist that attack. It could've killed him, but it chose not to; the Emperor of Death chose not to. The sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novelenglish.net .

"Vast Sky, you just obediently wait for your death." Davis sneered, "As a humane person, I'll advise you to prepare your tomb. You can leave your inheritance for your future descendants as long as you kill yourself."

"…"

The world was too shocked to say anything, much less blink, as they didn't want to miss anything.

The Vast Sky Emperor didn't say anything as blood leaked out of his mouth. He looked into the distance. A spatial vortex appeared before he stepped into it and vanished, crossing tens and thousands of kilometers in an instant.

"…"

People were shocked as they witnessed this spectacle.

The Vast Sky Emperor actually left, not even daring to say anything back. No… he ran for his life?

Davis looked at the spatial vortex close, but he didn't give chase. Instead, he looked at Myria, inwardly giving her a thumbs up for that savory slap as he found Vast Sky Emperor displeasing to his eyes for a long time already. He considered waiting until the competition, but with Myria making a move, he didn't bother to hide his hostility either.

In the Mystic Ice Sect's seating area, Myria couldn't help but inwardly nod at Davis.

"Not bad… not bad..."

Ellia's soul couldn't help but glow in happiness. It seemed that Davis managed to impress Myria. Feeling that this was the chance, she spoke.

"See? Even while confused about our situation, he still cares about us."

"Cares about you." Myria corrected, causing Ellia's soul to shudder playfully in being caught.

"I have a few qualms leaving you with him once our souls could be separated, but the impression he gave me just now was not bad. A man must be decisive and ruthless when it comes to protecting their woman. The only other thing to check is if he is worthy of you. After all, no matter how different you may be because of your life experiences, you're still another me. Our karmic burden is not something anyone could bear. Perhaps, that's what caused him to almost fall."

"…"

Ellia fell silent as she thought of the life she shared with him in her childhood. Did she implicate him?

"No buts." Before Ellia could say anything, Myria spoke, "If his potential isn't up to par, he's just that. Or, do you want to cause his death so badly when he's already happy with his life?"

"No!"

"Then listen to me." Myria spoke with solemnity, "As long as you two are under my wings, I can protect you two, but only if I could obtain my revenge first before they could kill us."

There was silence again for some time.

"Sigh… alright. I'll stop being willful." Ellia sounded defeated.

"Good. I won't make it hard for you too."

'Hehe, I'll stop being willful only after this competition, though...'

"I can still hear your thoughts, Ellia."

"Hey, no peeking!"

"Hehehe~"

The two of them seemed to descend into laughter.

On the other side, Evelynn held Davis's sleeve and opened her mouth.

"Davis, we should kill the Vast Sky Emperor. He should be attempting to break through to the Immortal Stage now that he has seen and became convinced that he's going to die."

"No, I deeply injured his soul." Davis shook his head, "As long as he's not a fool, he won't try anything for the week even if he could heal himself, much less attempt to breakthrough in these three days. Otherwise, forget me; even the heavenly tribulation wouldn't let him live."

To be attracting a heavenly tribulation while gravely injured was courting death. He knew that the Vast Sky Emperor would try to ascend, but before he could, Davis more or less had the confidence to ruin him.

'Besides, it's very likely that Myria's slap wasn't simple either...'

Davis touched his chin.

When his soul force struck the Vast Sky Emperor and entered his soul sea as it broke his defenses and attacked his soul, he felt like he sensed something strange.. Perhaps, it could be something belonging to the Vast Sky Emperor for all he knew, but he wasn't too sure as he felt that it was also foreign.
