Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1660 - Used Again?

The Vast Sky Emperor, Karmic Guardian Emperor, Mandate Emperor, Starnova Emperor, and All-Seeing Emperor all remained dumbfounded for a short few seconds that Davis felt like he had to say something to break the silence.

”What? Is seeing a dead person really that uncommon? I might just be a soul-body or a person in disguise, no?”

Davis arrived beside Isabella as he grasped her hand and interlocked fingers. Isabella glanced at him and shot a heartened smile, appearing to be proud at this moment, while Davis smiled at her before turning to look at the four Emperors.

”The farce is over. Go back to your powers and await my word.”

The four Emperors flinched, their sanity coming back to themselves as they realized that this was none other than the true Emperor of Death. Not a fake, not a soul-body but the person in real.

They instantly understood that he was never dead, to begin with, but they also understood to this person who mastered Death Laws to a powerful degree, death might perhaps be a start.

ʼJust like a Phoenix...ʼ

The Karmic Guardian Emperor thought with utter seriousness before he opened his eyes, revealing his starry black pupils. Combined with his white hair, he appeared mysterious as he tried to see through the Emperor of Death when he abruptly moved his gaze away.

Evelynnʼs third eye had opened again, resplendently shining with a blue light. Her sealing hex was almost unleashed on the Karmic Guardian Emperor for his impudence against her husband, but it seems like he knew better.

She closed her third eye and flew away with Nadia, arriving beside her husband.

”Karmic Guardian Emperor. I know you possess the Karmic Guardian Physique, and Iʼm rather interested in what such a unique constitution can do. However, I advise you not to use your powers to peer into my being, for it is rather... dangerous, I must say...”

Davis coldly smiled.

”Emperor of Death, you havenʼt become powerful enough to order us around. Instead, you should answer why youʼre with an evil fey like the Hex Demoness.”

The Karmic Guardian Emperor pointed at Evelynn, no longer suspicious of their connection as they seem to have come together.

”Hex Demoness?”

Davis shook his head, ”Sheʼs my first wife, Evelynn.”

”What!?”

The Karmic Guardian Emperor appeared shocked before he instantly recalled the information on the Emperor of Death while the others did the same, finding out that Evelynn was the woman who was speculated to be in Law Dominion Stage.

”Your first wife does indeed use poison arts, but she isnʼt this stron-”

The Karmic Guardian Emperor waved his hand, his expression becoming relentless while clenching his teeth when he suddenly realized.

”I see. So she successfully became a fey. Furthermore, she absorbed a powerful magical beast at this level. I have no idea how she survived, but no wonder... All this time, we have thought that she came from the perilous rifts in the Poison Rift Valley in order to hunt down the Poison Lord Villa, who mightʼve offended her in a recent expedition. However, it seems like we were wrong.”

The Karmic Guardian Emperor lowered his head and repeatedly nodded as though talking to himself.

”Thatʼs right.”

Davis nodded, glad that there was someone who understood instead of making things complicated.

”It is normal for my wife to take revenge on the people who tried to harm me. Are you going to demonize her for claiming justice?”

The Karmic Guardian Emperor narrowed his eyes. He took his hand back and straightened his back, appearing utterly confident.

”I wonʼt say anything about killing the Poison Lord Villaʼs cultivators. However, she killed innocent children who hadnʼt even entered the path of cultivation yet, which is unforgivable. As proof, look at her karmic sin- what!?”

Karmic Guardian Emperorʼs eyes starry eyes went wide in shock!

He couldnʼt even see a semblance of karmic sin on her, making his head spin in confusion.

”Heh, what do you mean?” Davis appeared amused as he looked besides, ”Thereʼs no karmic sin on my Evelynn.”

”She... sheʼs hiding it...! I swear I saw it on her before.”

Waving his hand, the Karmic Guardian Emperor declared with conviction.

Davis glanced at Evelynn again while the others did the same. She didnʼt do anything and remained still, but after a few seconds, the expressions of all the powerhouses really couldnʼt help but change as they couldnʼt sense or feel a tinge of karmic sin on her, making them baffled.

They all gazed at the Hex Demoness once in the past from a distance, determining her threat with their own eyes. However, by that time, she was already powerful, that they didnʼt bother to fight her. In any case, she was just massacring a wicked path hegemon and its remnants, which suited their path, so they didnʼt see the need to amass powerhouses in order to put her down without receiving any casualties.

They had seen karmic sin envelop her before, but now, they couldnʼt see any to their astonishment.

”A peak powerhouse of the righteous path is actually going blind.” Davis became solemn as he looked towards the white eagle fey in the distance, ”All-Seeing Emperor, you must spread this news to the entire-”

”You...! Donʼt twist the situation.”

”Believe what you want, but the heavens deemed her innocent.”

Davis grinned as he shrugged before he pointed, ”Who are you to judge her actions, collectively naming her the Hex Demoness? Should I name the Vast Sky Emperor the Vast Womanizing Emperor for shamelessly lusting after my Isabella?”

”You...!”

The Vast Sky Emperorʼs face trembled before he waved his hand and pointed.

”You all fooled me! No matter how tempted I was, I wouldnʼt have gone after Earth Dragon Queen if I knew that you, her husband were still alive. The fault was with you for acting dead!”

Hearing his excuse, Davis couldnʼt help but amusedly smile.

”You could be right, and letʼs say that youʼre right. Who gave you the right to force Isabella while I was supposedly dead? Did she say that she wanted your presence in her life?”

”She...”

The Vast Sky Emperor became tongue-tied, unable to respond in a manner that would take the blame off of him.

Davis shook his head in exhaustion as he uttered.

”Donʼt worry. Iʼll deal with you sooner or later.”

”You dare to threaten me!?”

”Well, Iʼm not particularly bothered with facing you now either. Iʼm just worried about the upcoming disaster in my own way.”

Davisʼs expression became amused before he turned to look towards the winged human.

”All-Seeing Emperor, do you smell something delicious in the Soul Palace?”

”Soul... Palace...?”

The All-Seeing Emperorʼs big eye blinked twice before his body trembled. He quickly took out a messaging talisman and contacted a person.

”Quick, tell me whatʼs going on in the Soul Palace right now!”

It sounded as if the other side scrambled to move when suddenly, in two seconds, a shocked voice echoed out of the messaging talisman.

”All-Seeing Emperor! This is... deafening! Soul Emperor Zealwonder is actually hanged in front of the Soul Palaceʼs Grand Soul Gate!!! His corpse is hanged upside down for the world to see, and the entire Soul Palace is shaken, not daring to go beside the corpse!”

”What!? What happened!?”

”O- On the Grand Soul Gate, itʼs written the Emperor of Death in huge blood-red characters!”

The All-Seeing Emperorʼs big eye had stretched to reach his hair on his head already while the four Emperors were frozen stiff on the spot as they cast their gazes towards All-Seeing Emperor for confirmation.

This was just a farce, right?ʼ

They couldnʼt help but think but gazing at All-Seeing Emperorʼs body tremble with an unseen intensity; their pupils started to tremble together.

ʼWell done, Yotan. Moreover, Elusivemist seems like he has done his part too.ʼ

Davis inwardly grinned as he recalled his conversation with Yotan a while ago using his avatar. As for the characters [Emperor of Death], they were borne through using a transcribe talisman that had his soul force imbued. All Yotan had to do was use it as if to say that he was there somehow, and Soul Emperor Elusivemist hanged Soul Emperor Zealwonderʼs corpse, displaying it to the whole world.

Davis felt that this should have an impact, and indeed, looking at the faces of the All-Seeing Emperor and the four Emperors, it seems like that they held Soul Emperor Zealwonder on a pedestal and were unable to believe the way he died, silent and eerie to the extreme. They cast their baffled yet terrified gazes at him, wondering how under the heavens he achieved such a feat again and remain unharmed to boot!

If the Emperor of Death used a sacrificial attack, shouldnʼt he be lying on the ground like the last time!? Why was he still looking as healthy as ever!?
