Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3629  Scattered Monuments

”No… I…” Yi Fengʼs expression churned, ”Iʼm not from a shameless imperial family! My Yi Imperial Family is the most dazzling and the most respectful Imperial Family out there. We have done so many public welfare projects, promotion of cultivation, legal reforms that allow people to possess rights, wicked path tolerance as long as they donʼt go too far, encouragement of innovation in many occupations, disaster reliefs, and promotion of trade and commerce with all the Kingdoms in our Metal Planar Lower World!”

”We are the best in the realm and rule it with a gentle fist. I am its Crown Prince and wouldnʼt let anyone sully our name!”

Yi Feng stuttered at first, but by the end, he was full of pride and waved his hand as though he wouldnʼt tolerate any insults towards his family.

Isabella looked at him.

She couldnʼt believe that he got easily provoked, playing right into her hands.

”Then pay up~”

She reached out her hand as though demanding payment, causing Yi Feng to quiver as all his pride sank. He recognized that he owed the Divine Emperor of Death his life but rumor was also that it was due to the Divine Emperor of Death that spacequake appeared and engulfed him from his family.

He held some resentment over it but at the same time, wasnʼt foolish enough to say it to the third wife of the Divine Emperor of Death.

”I donʼt have anything right now. What do you want…?”

Yi Feng looked glanced at the monument. Ever since he saw it, he felt like leaving this so-called Crystal World but where was he supposed to find the Crystal Gate?

He didnʼt know.

”I see. Iʼll have you pay up when you gain something here. Until then, goodbye.”

Isabella appeared indifferent to his plight and turned around to leave.

”Wait…”

A despondent voice echoed out, ”Iʼll repay your husband by helping you!”

”…”

Isabella stopped, a victorious smile threatening to curl out of her lips. She indifferently glanced back, her lips moving.

”You mean as a subordinate, right?”

Her voice was cold and her Emperor-Tier aura surged out, causing Yi Feng to freeze. He felt fearful, causing him to lower his head. He was a Crown Prince who was about to become an Emperor in the future but the woman in front of him was an Empress by the virtue of her blood.

His blood ran cold as he felt suppressed.

”Yes…”

He answered.

The way Yi Feng saw it, if he stuck with this senior sister, he should be able to survive until he found out information of the Crystal gate since she was supposed to be stronger than him but little did he know that Isabella was down weak right now.

Shirley woke up. She went through the same discoveries as Evelynn and Isabella. Her soul was also healed, but other than that, she couldnʼt find what was so different about her soul as she couldnʼt place a finger on it.

[Defend]

[Escape]

[Escape]

She saw that she had three talismans and giggled confidently.

Looking into the distance, she saw an ocean.

She didnʼt want to go near it as it was unknown what kind of threats lurked there, so she turned around and headed towards the shore and the rocky mountains that blocked the other side.

She crossed a valley and, soon enough, chanced upon a waterfall. She crossed the river way above the waterfall and continued to traverse until she stood on a wedge where she saw a gorge.

The river in the gorge glittered with rays of light as the banks on the sides seemed to be adorned with mountains of immortal crystals, causing her jaws to drop.

At the same time, she saw crystal creatures that made her shudder since she could see herself defeating any of them in her current state.

She hurriedly ducked and moved away, getting as far as possible as she crossed the river above again and went another way.

However, she came to a stop and walked firmly, heading towards a woman in the distance.

She recognized it was none other than Dewzai, the inheritor with Emperor-Tier Devilish Flame Fox Bloodline.

Shirley stared at the woman before glancing at the monument towards the side.

[There are nine Hidden Pagodas throughout the Crystal World. Each Hidden Pagodaʼs trial that has been cleared will cause one cultivation seal to disperse for all. The Hidden Pagodaʼs treasures are as valuable as a Minor Realm or more.]

Shirleyʼs eyes narrowed at the wording.

It became clear what she must do to reclaim her cultivation, but these Hidden Pagodas were… hidden. With her senses blocked to two meters, where could she possibly find them?

She felt the need to look for them no matter what, as they also possessed treasures worth more than a Minor Realm. What did this mean?

Minor Realms were like the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm in the true immortal world.

To be worth more than that, the treasures should be more or less equal to the so-called Realm Pill in value!

Shirley felt excitement course through her body.

She glanced back at Dewzai, her eyes flashing with an ardent light, ”You want to fight?”

Dewzai glared at Shirley with killing intent.

She was one of the women who watched her piss herself. She couldnʼt let such humiliation go scot-free even if it wasnʼt their fault, just like a maidenʼs naked body couldnʼt be looked at.

However, her foxy eyes calmed as she released a smile.

”Why donʼt we temporarily form an alliance and look for these Hidden Pagodas? Naturally, since itʼs a trial, the capable one will win it. Or if youʼre intent on battling, then we wouldnʼt know who would come out on top.”

”Itʼs obviously me whoʼs going to come on top since you know what kind of existence I am.”

Shirley giggled with utter confidence.

Dewzai frowned. She was aware that Shirley held three possible lives as a human with King-Tier Fire Phoenix Soul on top of having two escape talismans, which put her in a significant disadvantage.

She had two chances, while Shirley had five chances.

They couldnʼt be spoken at the same length.

Shirley kept up her appearance and smiled mockingly at Dewzai.

With two escape talismans and three revives through her virtue as a human with a phoenix soul, if she died completely enough to be kicked out of this competition and revived through Everlight, she felt that it would be well deserved. Therefore, she was fully unhinged, intending to get out of this situation with her on the dominant side or at least, not at the losing side.
