Divine Emperor of Death

The brown-haired youngster turned to look at his side and saw the young woman from the Falling Snow Sect, wearing a deep blue robe with white snow patterns that accentuated her beauty, making her out to be an ice fairy. However, her expressionless face made her less desirable when compared with the Conferred Queenʼs haughty expression.

Nevertheless, he felt graced by the presence of two empire-toppling beauties!

Elder Towerfall and Elder Enyeʼs focus wasnʼt on the Conferred Queen. They frowned as they looked at the two women behind the Conferred Queen, feeling vexed. They didnʼt have the face of an expert at all as Elder Towerfall, and Elder Enye looked at them looking around the martial arena.

They could see that they were two amateurs brought into this battle exchange. Even though they felt that this battle exchange should be easy now, they felt offended to be treated and looked down like this! They inwardly sighed and looked at the Conferred Queen before Elder Enye spoke.

”Conferred Queen Isabella, it is a given that your esteemed self participates in this battle exchange, but can we know who the others are so we can send the opponents appropriately according to their cultivation stages and age? It will be a fair fight.”

”Let me tell you...” Princess Isabella haughtily smiled, ”The subordinates I have are all handpicked by myself, but many of them are in seclusion. If they came out, that would completely be bullying your two powers. Nevertheless, my subordinate Alchemist Davis and his two wives are more than enough for your powersʼ younger generation.”

Davis inwardly nodded his head. He had warned her not to include his parents or any others as that would completely expose them to the Alstreim Family.

On the other hand, the younger generation who heard it didnʼt seem to be accepting of her words. Many had ugly expressions, and it could be seen that they were eager to prove themselves to the Conferred Queen and to the audience around them who gathered in this makeshift martial arena that was without a wing to but just a plaza to host people.

Elder Towerfall and Elder Enye frowned. In their Territories, it was they who looked down on people, but here, in front of an influential person from a large Territory, they have to be extremely careful lest they become the sacrifice from the wrath of a random great power.

Nevertheless, they didnʼt like being looked down upon, and there was a limit to being looked down upon...

Elder Enye was just about to retort when Elder Towerfall suddenly echoed, ”Weʼll let the fists do the talking.”

He said it with a calm demeanor that Elder Enye, who had almost lost her cool, became impressed with Elder Towerfall. She didnʼt think Elder Towerfall was capable of being calm, but when she looked at him, she could see that his expression was twitching from harboring a stomach full of anger.

”Thatʼs right!” Davis echoed, ”Weʼre all above the Fourth Stage, so you two donʼt need to worry about not having fists to talk, instead...”

”I am more worried about how the battle exchange would be fairly conducted...” He spoke with a wry smile as if he didnʼt believe that the Towering Cloud Hall and the Falling Snow Sect would be fair.

”Shut your mouth! When the elders are speaking, who are you to interfere!?” The brown-haired youngster from the Towering Cloud Hall raged as if he was deeply offended. His expression looked as if he had superimposed with a wild dog.

”Hahahaha...”

Davis just laughed. However, his expression was full of mockery that further aggravated that brown-haired youngster.

”Yo-”

Elder Towerfall raised his hand as he interrupted and clasped his hand towards the Conferred Queen, ”I apologize on behalf of our core hall disciple for interrupting us. Halifan, be silent. If you want to vent your misgivings, thereʼs always the martial platform.”

Halifanʼs eyes lit up as he smiled. He clasped his hand and gave a bow, ”Junior was hasty and blind. I hope the magnanimous Conferred Queen would forgive me.”

Princess Isabella didnʼt even bother to cast a look because she was scared that her act would break. She wasnʼt the type to not curse back when cursed, and it was even more so when her man was told to shut up in front of her. If she didnʼt have restraint, she was afraid that she wouldʼve crippled this youngster by now.

No one realized the intent behind Princess Isabellaʼs silence and was pondering while Halifan took this as a silent consent and provoked Alchemist Davis with his eyes.

Davis just shook his head in exasperation.

Core hall disciple? He didnʼt even know how prestigious that is... neither did he want to know. Even if he didnʼt realize, there was arrogance deep inside of took the made him subconsciously look down on people who acted like retards.

Elder Towerfall suddenly spoke, ”Whether if it is fair or not, one does need to worry. Age is the best factor to ensure fairness, so we have brought a Profound Age Formations to check oneʼs bone age before being sent into battle.”

Princess Isabellaʼs and Davisʼs eyes narrowed into two tiny slits, but the elders only noticed Princess Isabellaʼs reaction.

Elder Towerfall quickly placated, ”Donʼt worry, the powers in these Three Territories are well aware that looking into the accurate bone age of a person without their consent is extremely rude. However, since the powers still have to categorize geniuses and treat them as they deserve, we elders have brought four Profound Age Formations that reacts to a personʼs bone age.”

Elder Towerfall waved his hand, and a few people from the bull-like ark flew over to the ground before quickly setting up four formations that turned into a gate-like structure in a few seconds.

”The copper-colored formation will light up if oneʼs bone age is below fifty years while the bronze-colored formation will find out if a bone age is lesser than or equal to a hundred years. As for the grey colored formation, it represents that oneʼs bone age is below a hundred and fifty years while the silver-colored formation represents that oneʼs age is beneath two hundred years.”

”What if oneʼs age is higher when they enter the formation?” Princess Isabella asked.

”Then the Profound Age Formation wonʼt light up...” Elder Enye replied.

”I see...” Princess Isabella bought it at face value and nodded her head. Not hearing a reply from Davis, she felt that he was okay with this setup.

”What about the rules?” A female voice suddenly echoed.

It was none other than Evelynn.

Elder Enye creased her brows at Evelynn before she contemplated for a moment.

”One should not use armaments that crosses their own cultivation base, and the participants shall not try to kill each other with malicious intent. Other than this, if the participant falls on the ground that is out of the battle platform, theyʼll be disqualified.”

”Using special items such as supporting Artifacts and similar treasures is also forbidden.” Elder Towerfall hastily added once he saw Elder Enye go silent.

Elder Enye hesitated but still nodded her head. It was almost as if she was on the idea of approving the use of Artifacts.

”These rules are fine... On the note of being the powerful one, Iʼll give up the first opportunity so you can send your younger generation first.” Princess Isabella gestured.

Elder Enye ignored the Conferred Queenʼs haughtiness as she gestured back to Elder Towerfall upon hearing the Conferred Queen.

Elder Towerfall nodded his head, ”Then I wonʼt stand on ceremony.”
