Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1667 - Invitation

”I apologize, Davis. They all came here through a spatial tunnel, and I was unable to stop them from... att-”

”It was not an attack. They merely called me outside, telling me that the wicked path is here.”

Davis and Nadia communicated through their beast pact as he looked at the eight powerhouses, all radiating peak auras, and tremendous karmic sin. They came in strange and indistinctive patterned robes, and one of them, a grey-robed man, even wore a half-mask that hid his facial features below the eyes while it appeared like it was an artifact that amplified sound, just like the black-whited robed person who possessed inscriptions on his mouth.

He was currently waiting for their response, but they were simply staring at him.

Nevertheless, Davis could see that they did not have hostile intent but something else, surprisingly, reverence as he could see their eyes glow in fervor towards him. But, with Evelynn and Nadia by his side, he didnʼt worry that they would ambush him. As for Isabella, she was secluded in cultivation.

The black-white robe man suddenly erected a sound barrier that enveloped them before he devilishly smiled.

”Since the Emperor of Death is extremely young, I presume your eminence doesnʼt know much about us. I go by the title Deprived Soulstir Emperor, hailing from the Deprived Hymn Abode.”

Davis noticed that this was a Soul Emperor he was facing, albeit a weak Soul Emperor, recognizing his affiliation, the Deprived Hymn Abode, to be from the southeast, beside the Poison Rift Valley and the south of Infernal Lightning Palace.

ʼWell, I can sense five Soul Emperors while the other three are clearly Peak-Level Soul Kings. That would make it fourteen Soul Emperors in the beginning, and now itʼs more or less the same, considering that I and Evelynn, Yotan joined the ranks while Isabella and Mival Silverwind would soon join as we- What the... thatʼs some intense Charm Laws cast towards me...ʼ

Davisʼs head went through some monologue before he moved his gaze towards the only woman from the eight powerhouses. She wore a scantily-clad dark blue robe that revealed her cleavage and side-bosoms while her beauty appeared to be near to the level of Nadia, making him truly taken aback.

Her figure was outstanding from the curvy assets that could be seen. Her long legs were slender and were like an ice sculpture, wanting to be melted with a manʼs touch. She was truly a seductress, far more than Evelynn or the Poison Mistress ever could be.

”Too bad. My soul is too powerful for you to charm me with just your looks, although you mightʼve had some chance a few years ago.”

Davis condescendingly spoke as he smirked, causing the dark-blue-robed woman to charmingly smile at him.

”Iʼm honored to be praised by your eminence.”

Her mellow yet frigid voice echoed out, causing Davis to rather be taken aback again as he imagined that she would be speaking in a seductive tone.

”Iʼm the Fiendish Yin Empress, and this is my husband, Yang Hellflame Emperor. We both are the rulers of the Blooming Passion Abode, and if youʼre ever willing to visit us, our beauties will be more than willing to wait on you and entertain you.”

”Shut your trap, Fiendish Yin Empress. You can seduce the Emperor of Death later.”

”...!”

The Fiendish Yin Empress turned to look at a person who wore blood-red robes. He appeared to be devilishly handsome and possessed blood tattoos all over his body. He merely sneered at the Fiendish Yin Empress and clasped his hands towards Davis.

”Iʼm the ruler and the hegemon of the Blood Reaper Underworld, the strongest wicked path hegemonic power. I am the Blood World Emperor, whoʼs also the strongest in the wicked path.”

”Yeah, right.” A crimson-robed man sneered, ”I will fry your blood with my infernal lightning before you even know it.”

”Before that, I will burn him into ashes with my hell flames for insulting my precious wife.”

The Yang Hellflame Emperor spoke as a purplish-crimson flame appeared above his hand, radiating an immense temperature that instantly changed the lighting of the atmosphere before he flicked his hand and made it disappear.

”Hmph!”

The Blood World Emperor merely harrumphed in disdain towards the both of them while the crimson-robed man clasped his hands towards Davis and introduced himself.

”Infernal Lightning Palaceʼs Infernal Lightning Emperor.”

Davis took a closer look at this menace that had some threat to him before. A regal air radiated from him despite the sinister aura, but still, Davis didnʼt care nor worry about such a character with his current strength that reached the peak of this world.

”I heard that you terrorize my Alstreim Family once in every five hundred years? Do you care to explain, or shall I make my own judgment about this matter and deal as I see fit?”

The Infernal Lightning Emperorʼs purple eyes flashed with a crimson arc of spark before he smiled.

”The Infernal Lightning Palace will no longer deal with Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago and will revoke our claim to it. That place now purely belongs to your eminence, the Emperor of Death.”

”Is that so? Then do you plan to return what you took?”

The Infernal Lightning Emperorʼs brows narrowed.

”Donʼt go too far.”

”Sure, you can have the resources but donʼt blame me if you came to know one day that your answer didnʼt satisfy me.”

Hearing Davisʼs threat, the Infernal Lightning Emperor swallowed his anger and spoke.

”What does eminence want?”

”Give me all the resources you collected from the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago in the last ten thousand years, or things equal in value. Even if you didnʼt come today, I was about to visit you later to demand reparations anyway, so think carefully before you answer.”

Davis cockily spoke while the Infernal Lightning Emperor had his eyes narrowed with difficulty. The former didnʼt bother anymore before he moved his gaze and looked at the last three people.

The half-masked, grey-robed man clasped his hand upon noticing Davisʼs gaze.

”Dark Ironroar Emperor of the Dark Ironroar Palace.”

Davis recalled that the Blooming Passion Abode was the farthest in the southeast direction, and north it was the Dark Ironroar Palace, right to the east of Glorious Pill Palace. He heard that they were rather close and rarely interfered with the righteous world, at least, rarer than the other wicked path powerhouses as they minded their own business.

Still, it seemed like the Dark Ironroar Emperor was a man of few words that he didnʼt speak much even though his half-mask with a wide-open mouth stated otherwise.

”Ahahaha!”

Abruptly, a purple-robed man began to hold his stomach as he laughed.

”I am the ruler of the Poison Rift Valley, but before I introduce my title, Iʼll thank Emperor of Death for killing my bastard son.”

Davis narrowed his eyes in confusion before realization dawned on him, ”The Poison Lord?”

”Yes, that bastard son of mine tried to kill me multiple times already, and I, the Spatial Blight Emperor, tried to kill him multiple times, an eye for an eye.”

Davisʼs expression couldnʼt help but slightly change in pity.

Does this mean that the previous Poison Lord was cuckolded by this Spatial Blight Emperor?

Davis didnʼt know the Poison Lord Villaʼs origin, or if the Poison Lords chosen were a line of successors from blood or strangers with strength, so he didnʼt think much about it before he heard the Spatial Blight Emperor speak again.

”Alas, it all ended in just injuring each other before he stopped bothering with me, becoming a womanizer, and then suddenly, his entire group secretly entered my Territory and robbed resources from my Poison Rift Valley! I became so angered that I was going to kill him despite the threat of his darned Hex Laws, but the next thing I knew, your eminence killed him. Ahahaha! Good riddance!”

”Thatʼs kind of... good.”

Davisʼs expression twitched, almost having said that was fucked up.

”But the way you said it, you do not know of Hex Laws?” He asked.

”Sigh, that bastard son of mine. Who wouldʼve thought that he would become talented in Hex Laws? If I had known, I wouldʼve... killed him much earlier! Ahahaha!”

Davis regretted asking that and even communicating with this lunatic. Nevertheless, this told him why the Heaven Gazing Sect feared the Poison Lord because they and everyone found it difficult to break his hex while he did so within a few seconds with Fallen Heavenʼs prowess.

Nevertheless, becoming sick of this lunatic father, he moved on to the last person who wore a scarlet-green robe, appearing fairly handsome despite his body seething with a poisonous and toxic aura.

”Greetings, Emperor of Death...” The personʼs voice sounded rather creepy.

”Iʼm the Myriad Poison Emperor, having mastered Poison Laws to a profound level that I know about millions of poison. If your eminenceʼs wife needs my guidance, Iʼm willing to share knowledge in exchange for a certain price.”

”Iʼll consider it.”

Davis uttered before he spoke, ”Now that you all introduced yourselves, what do you all truly want?”

”Of course, we came to invite your eminence to join our wicked path!”
