Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1948 - Jade Lotus Valleyʼs Top Disciple

Blinding white light glowed from the runic image in the sky as it resonated with the heaven and earth energy. It transformed into a huge net that stretched to a few kilometers, blocking Ivy Aries from arriving close to her.

However, Ivy Aries seemed oblivious as she neared the Soul Binding Net. When she touched it, water poured out of her palm. It appeared light-green in color. One could mistake it for poison or healing type energy, but it directly cut and swallowed a part of the Soul Binding and made it disappear as though consuming them.

Then, the green lotuses that formed beneath her feet before directly shot towards Threelotus, causing her to hurriedly unleash another technique again.

”Thousand Radiance Arrow Shower!”

Threelotus pointed towards the incoming green lotuses as thousands of arrows shot from her finger. Ten of them joined to form a single light arrow, becoming more powerful as they struck the light green watery lotuses, causing them to tremble.

But it wasnʼt enough. 

However, even after the arrows joined together, there were more arrows than the watery green lotuses, so the light arrows struck them a few times more, causing them to collapse.

”Not bad~”

Ivy Aries commented as she neared Threelotus without stopping, her hands already ready with another technique to be unleashed.

Threelotusʼs scalp turned numb. Would she already have to burn her essence blood to support her techniques?

Their battle didnʼt even last ten seconds, yet she was already cornered.

However…

*Whoosh!~*

Threelotus instantly turned into a streak of light and vanished, causing Ivy Aries to be taken aback as she held the energy in her hands. When she realized where Threelotus appeared next, she became flabbergasted.

Threelotus was already many kilometers away, her attack unreachable.

And then, a wry expression appeared on her face as she remembered why Soul Forging Cultivators were feared.

Not only did they have suppression and instant kill techniques, but they also could escape whenever they wanted in the same realm. They were practically impossible to catch if one didnʼt make preparations beforehand.

”Hehehe~”

A melodious laugh echoed at this moment, causing Ivy Aries to turn and look at Natalya.

”Is it funny?”

Ivy Aries felt that Natalya was mocking her.

Natalya suppressed her laugh as she shook her head, ”No, I knew Threelotus would escape if you were to corner her. After all, with her prowess, weʼll only be bullying her, so why donʼt we fight? The winner gets to see Threelotus panic from a close distance. Isnʼt she unexpectedly cute?”

”Hehe~ Youʼre the one trying to bully her.”

Ivy Aries giggled as she pointed at Natalya as she unleashed the technique held within her hands.

Multiple light green watery lotuses bloomed in mid-air as they rushed towards Natalya.

”Of course, as sheʼs a part of my husbandʼs Soul Palace, only Iʼm fit to bully her. An outsider like you should defeat me before even having the thought of bullying her.”

Natalya merely waved her hand, and the blooming lotuses abruptly became encased in ice. The airflow dropped to absolute zero and further in an instant, even freezing the space ever so lightly. That mere wave contained two percent of her essence energy that surged towards Ivy Aries, causing her scalp to turn numb.

Instantly, she no longer held back and cast another technique.

Water essence energy burst from her figure, encasing her surroundings. The chill that permeated towards her entered her greenish water when they suddenly started to freeze.

Natalya watched with a confident smile on her face, but then her brows narrowed. The wave of chill she sent had innumerable lotus petals. They would have overpopulated Ivy Ariesʼs green water and froze everything but were suddenly being sucked away by it, causing her to become confused as to what kind of energy this was.

She read many records with her Solitary Soul Avatar, but she only had little knowledge and experience in battles.

The petals that were submerged in Ivy Ariesʼs green water all disappeared.

It was strange. Once her icy yin essence energy dropped to a certain level after turning Ivy Ariesʼs light green water into ice, it was as though it was absorbed instead of destroyed.

Nonetheless, she understood one thing.

”People wouldnʼt have expected me to have an Immeasurable Sea, but the same could be said about you.”

”…!”

People were shocked by Natalyaʼs statement.

Could it be?

Ivy Ariesʼs eyes narrowed as she smiled, and the people instantly couldnʼt help but feel it was true. First, it was Natalya. Second, it was Davis. Third, it was that dark horse, and now fourth, it was this Ivy Aries.

They couldnʼt believe that were four people with Immeasurable Seas. One should know that there was no one with Immeasurable Sea in the last few century millenniums. For four of them to appear now, it could be seen that this was a true era of geniuses spurring to defend against the calamity.

Indeed, Ivy Aries had revealed her true strength. Her prowess was no longer at High-Level Law Rune Stage but at Peak-Level Law Rune Stage.

It could mean only one thing, and that means that she had condensed an Immeasurable Sea.

However, Natalya could still feel that it was weaker than her. At most, Ivy Aries would have created a water-attributed sea thatʼs hundred and ten or twenty kilometers in length. 

It certainly wasnʼt a match for her whose Immeasurable Sea had condensed to a massive hundred and forty-nine kilometers!

Ninety-nine kilometers and hundred and forty-nine kilometers were a bottleneck to Law Sea Stage Cultivators. Achieving a hundred kilometers meant perfection within Vast Sea, which would grant them a prowess of High-Level Law Rune Stage. Then stepping into the Immeasurable Sea was a deep divide.

To enter Immeasurable Sea, one has to condense a hundred and five-kilometer sea. Otherwise, if they reached a hundred and one or hundred and four kilometers, it would drop to hundred kilometers, letting them stay in the realm of Vast Sea. 

That was what stopped most people from entering the Immeasurable Sea. If they condense an Immeasurable Sea, it will grant them the strength of Peak-Level Law Rune Stage strength.

In the Vast Sea, every ten kilometers constituted a difference in prowess, but every five kilometers constituted a difference in the Immeasurable Sea. It was a wide realm even had geniuses scared as it would take them immense energy to try to re-condense seas that it could be said that once set, it was done.

It was very difficult to change as the energy required was not easily obtainable. Thatʼs why if geniuses had a chance, they would prepare for a long time, comprehending a lot before re-condensing, but in this era where resources were lacking, such geniuses couldnʼt even be seen.

So it was shocking for the people to witness four of them appear at the same time.

”Very good. Only then would this battle be fun and comprehensive at the same time.”

Natalya smiled as she inwardly apologized to her sisters. It looks like it was going to take some time to defeat Ivy Aries as she wanted to experience her strength and weaknesses. Only then would she improve her battle strength instead of simply depending on her prowess to get the job done.

”Forsaken Yin Dance~”

Natalya melodiously danced as she twisted lifted her leg and twisted her hips, spinning with grace. Her movements attracted the gaze of many as they felt a sense of sorrow for some reason, but the region Natalya was in instantly turned into a blooming region of icy lotuses.

Many were tiny, some were small, and a few were big. These lotuses swayed in the air according to the gentle sways of her hand, listening to her command as they flew towards Ivy Aries, who also formed a technique of her own and unleashed, performing a similar dance to Natalya.

The regions between them instantly were filled with icy-blue and watery-green lotuses.

The clash was meager and didnʼt make many sounds other than lotuses turning into ice. However, the space visibly shook around the attacks, looking like it was going to collapse. Some locations even had big cracks. It was not the space but the formation. 

This changed the expressions of the Four Great Righteous Sects, especially the Starnova Emperor and Vast Sky Emperor. They wouldnʼt damage the formation, right?

However, they had no time to consider.

Natalya dominated above the fiery space, cornering Ivy Aries as she turned the light green watery lotuses into ice and shattered them. The tiny icy lotuses were being absorbed left and right, but once the small ones made their way, the tide changed. Even if they were to be engulfed and strangely absorbed, the big icy-blue lotuses shattered them to pieces just on contact.

Ivy Aries clenched her teeth and staggered back as she didnʼt think that the difference would be this great. She almost felt like she had just broken-through Peak-Level Law Rune Stage while Natalya was an old monster who spent centuries in the peak of Peak-Level Law Rune Stage.

This kind of difference at the start made her helpless.

Nonetheless, as she staggered and retreated, a pendant jumped from her voluptuous cleavage that flailed as it appeared outside, resting on her bosoms.

Many people merely thought it was a protective artifact or some support artifact of some sort and didnʼt mind much, but there were two people who almost jumped from their seats.

ʼThis… sheʼs Old Man Garvinʼs descendant…!?ʼ

Davis and Alexi Ethrenʼs pupils dilated as they laid their eyes on that pendant. It was the same pendant as Arianna Woller possessed!
