Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1824 - New Era Battle Arena

Hoards of people flew into the many entrances of the New Era Battle Arena after the authoritative announcement from the Mandate Emperor. He panned his gaze and looked at the powers who arrived settle in a few mountain ranges nearby before approaching them.

As the host, he arranged a few individuals to welcome and show the way to their seating area. After all, the hegemons all had their own seating area, regardless of the true power the other powers possessed.

With this arrangement, the Small-Sized Territories would essentially sit together on the same floor as the Mid-Sized Territories and the Large-Sized Territories, and although it may offend some people, maybe a lot of people, that was what being a hegemon meant, having control over a Territory with the help of their own strength or through the help of the Four Great Righteous Sects.

It couldnʼt be disputed unless they wanted to take it to the Four Great Righteous Sects.

The first hegemon to enter the New Era Battle Arena was the Thousand Pill Palace. The emblem of their sect was on the back of their robes, while some of them were also equipped with grand flags that flailed in the wind as they walked to their seats.

Along with the three Ancestors walked a veiled beauty who instantly garnered the attention of all the gathered men in the New Era Battle Arena.

Sounds of whispers and awed statements could be heard. Some of them were from fairly powerful families and sects. They looked at their alchemist beauties like they were contemplating whom to take.

The Thousand Pill Palace couldnʼt help but feel wry as they saw this scene.

They were once the overseers of this competition, but the authority was taken away from them. However, in no way could they make something this grand and control this kind of powerful crowd, so in a way, although they felt that it was apt that they were ousted, they still felt irked to be a nobody in this competition that hailed them for every few hundred years.

”Woah…!”

Without a change in how they would react, the men in the crowd erupted as they saw the Mystic Ice Sect walk in. Most of them felt like their eyes were blessed by their icy-white skin and robe, while their icy gaze also made them feel like they were beneath them to even look at them. This kind of gap had them shaking from the cold atmosphere that emerged with their entrance.

All of them looked quite young and beautiful that they couldnʼt tell who was who if it werenʼt for their robes and the emblem they wore indicating their status.

Their Sect Master Bing Luli was especially voluptuous and walking in the front, she instantly caught the eyes of many, making them feel like wanting to have her as she was still not taken, retaining her innocence which was highly attractive to them. Not only her, but they were staring at the other higher-than-thou looking beauties with interest, wondering if they would reciprocate if they were to head to talk.

This competition was not only a martial exchange but there were going to be a lot of relationships and alliances formed here, through marriage and other tie-ups. Everyone was aware of that and couldnʼt help but feel that they should stand in line before the others could take them away.

However, this was not the time.

*Sss~*

Suddenly the atmosphere became hot as the icy air disappeared.

An old lady and a voluptuous crimson robed woman led the entourage while the latter wore a veil on her face.

They saw it was none other than the Burning Phoenix Ridgeʼs sole remaining Ancestor and Sect Master, causing them to hold their breaths.

They led a group of handsome men which instantly garnered the ladiesʼ eyes to become wide. The bevy of women they possessed also made the men widen their eyes, but they were scared since the women of Burning Phoenix Ridge were said to be quite fiery and bad-mouthed, unlike the Mystic Ice Sect beauties whose cold air automatically placed a sealing talisman to their mouths while they simultaneously radiated elegance.

Nevertheless, the people still remembered how the wicked path invaded it but still stood tall by receiving the help of the Emperor of Death, who ultimately killed four hegemons of the wicked path.

That matter shook their hearts, completely flipping their view on the Emperor of Death who protected the Burning Phoenix Ridge from total annihilation and finally had them believe that he was not entirely a threat to their righteous path.

”!!!”

The Emperor Sword Sect then entered, which instantly garnered screams from crazy women who looked at the handsome and sharp men with charm in their eyes.

In the Emperor Sword Sectʼs entourage, the vastly strong Sect Master flew in the front along with a few Ancestors, making their way towards their seating. The top disciples were slowly flying on top of their swords like immortals. However, the moment they turned to look around and cast a smile at them, their hearts almost jumped out of their throats, causing them to erupt into a melodious peal of screams, bragging to their best female disciples that the top disciples were looking at them.

The men were flabbergasted and even jealous as they looked at their own junior sisters and senior sisters going crazy for them that they truly felt the threat of the Emperor Sword Sectʼs men, who boasted the most powerful offensive attack which made highly attractive as strength always attracted women.

”…”

Next, as a group of dark-green-robed women entered the New Era Battle Arena, the silence grew instead of resounding as it did before as both the men and women witnessing their walk became silent. The women in their entourage were as beautiful as the Mystic Ice Sect and Burning Phoenix Ridge women, wearing a green-blue veil that accentuated their looks and sometimes their blue hair. However, due to the secluded space, a natural barrier they lived in, little was known about them.

They only had relations with the Emperor Sword Sect, and the resulting alliance between them made their progenies almost invincibly handsome and gorgeous in terms of looks alone. Nevertheless, all they knew was that the Jade Lotus Valleyʼs women were off-limits. Otherwise, they would risk offending the Emperor Sword Sect.

Looking at the resulting silence, the Emperor Sword Sectʼs men also looked smug as they looked like they were enjoying the monopoly over the beauties of the Jade Lotus Valley.

As the Mid-Sized Territories Hegemons entered one by one, the atmosphere became more heated, especially when the couples of the Dual Lotus Manor entered. It was unknown how many tried to hide their faces or displayed disgust as they reacted like they hadnʼt been to the Dual Lotus Manor for ʼthatʼ before. Some were genuine, but most were purely to act righteous and hypocritical, causing a storm of reactions to brew when they entered.

However, most of their rumors were squashed at this moment as they could see the Dual Lotus Manorʼs couples were all dressed modestly contrary to what they heard through hearsay. They were not as devious, licentious, and shameless as they heard them be but appeared moderately common, perhaps even elegant as they radiated a certain charm of resilience.

However, looking at some men amidst them walk with a bevy of women around them still irked them to some degree, making them inwardly curse them to death.

*Bzzz!~*

After the Mid-Sized Territory Hegemons entered, the Large-Sized Territory Hegemons followed suit.

Their lineup made people suck in a deep breath of cold air, for the energy and aura they radiated was vastly stronger than anyone else they felt at this moment. Only the Emperor Sword Sectʼs Sect Master came closer to the magnificence of the Starnova Emperor, who led the entourage of the Astral Light Sect.

Furthermore, to make things spicier and interesting, he was even with the Glorious Pill Palaceʼs number one beauty, Farah Lanate! To them, it became little doubt that the Starnova Emperor managed to woo the beauty!

The core disciples or top disciples, in some cases, also looked impressive than the previous lineup of youths they had seen, appearing more powerful.

The Heaven Gazing Sect approached next without any fanfare, but they were taken aback by looking at a young blond beauty. Recently, she was said to have become the successor to the Heaven Gazing Sect, which made them feel doubtful. Nevertheless, with the Heaven Gazing Sectʼs arrival, it was quickly followed suit by the Heaven Mandate Temple, which made the people look at both of them with a pious and thankful attitude.

After all, if it werenʼt for these two powers, peace, despite the occasional chaos, for the most part, wouldnʼt have lasted for century millenniums.

However, they also noticed a blonde, young, veiled-beauty floating along with the Heaven Mandate Temple. They noticed her purple eyes radiated a kind of curiosity as she looked at them, as though she was a saintess untainted by the world. It made them not only feel giddy but realize that they could feel a certain type of emotion swelling within them for her, reverence.

”…!?”

They quickly shook their heads to calm themselves out of their outrageous emotions of inferiority that suddenly took over them somehow.

What was that? Just who was that young woman? They did hear that she had also recently become the successor to the Heaven Mandate Temple, but both of the young ladiesʼ origins were still unknown to the majority of the people.
