Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4258  Venerable Knights Team Up

”Feel free to leave.” Davis chuckled, ”Iʼll just kill every single one of you Venerable Knights who are brave enough to face me and go back home to the sweet embrace of my wives and chill until the Covenant is over.”

His mocking words made the Venerable Knights feel humiliated.

Stuck between wanting to block the two other groups from conquering the Verdant Vale Lower Realm and invading the Eternal Twilight Lower Realmʼs Secret Realm, they looked as though they were at their witʼs ends. To choose one between the three was really hard because they knew that apocalyptic spirit would be in the Verdant Vale Lower Realm right about now.

That calamity was their highest priority, even with the threat of the Divine Emperor of Death, but now that he unleashed such power, they had no choice but to reevaluate his threat.

As for those who invaded the secret realm, they supposed it would be his allies. In that case, they felt like leaving it to the supreme geniuses and the other Heavenʼs Warriors at that level.

So their choices were to either send a few Venerable Knights to the Verdant Vale Lower Realm or stay here, but they feared that if they did the former, the Divine Emperor of Death might successfully escape.

”Letʼs attack him together.” Venerable Knight Walritch spoke prudently through soul transmission.

The Venerable Hollow Knight and the others nodded. With Venerable Knight Walritchʼs seniority being way higher, they were inclined to listen to him at this moment.

”Iʼll trap him with my Transcendent Titan Body Physique.” Venerable Knight Avarros, who was stationed in the Earth Dragon Lower Realm, spoke in a solemn tone, ”Use that chance to inflict heavy damage and seal this calamity once and for all.”

”Donʼt go too near. Weʼll exhaust him first.” Venerable Knight Walritch nodded ever so lightly.

”I know.”

Venerable Knight Avarros moved forward, his silver hair swaying in the tumultuous winds. He was clad in silver armor while wearing navy blue robes within. His aura exuded a heavenly sensation, making Davisʼs brows squint as he felt a familiar aura after the other party raised his hand.

”Divine Emperor of Death, receive your retribution!”

He unleashed a punch, causing space to quiver and shatter in his fistʼs wake.

Heaven and earth trembled, his fistʼs energy converging all the surrounding heaven and earth energy into his strike as though the heavens granted him all the power he needed in the world to defeat the Divine Emperor of Death. The skies roared and convulsed as a suffocating suppression bore down on Davis.

He finally recognized this was the power of Mandate Laws, but it was very different from how Clara used it.

This was simply brute force multiplied to the max, causing his scalp to turn numb.

The very fabric of this layer responded to Venerable Knight Avarros, empowering his attacks with the purest essence of heaven and earth.

As the colossal fist closed in, Davisʼs expression turned cold. He clenched his hand, his reincarnation wheel whirring behind him as black-white runes lit up on its surface. The image of a wolf and a fox appeared on them, and he further boosted this wheel using the black-white stone without Fallen Heaven, bringing his prowess to three levels above Level Nine Empyrean Stage.

Indeed, the black-white stone seems to be consistently growing while feeding on his soul and Fallen Heaven, but it was unknown if it would cross the threshold of the layer or even the grade itself.

His figure flickered, vanishing from the spot as the titanic force crashed down where he stood.

*Boom!~*

The terrifying punch caused the skies to shatter. The aftermath alone sent shockwaves across the forlorn battlefield, yet the other seven Venerable Knights kept a firm watch on him, even intending to deal a death blow when he let his guard down.

Davis clenched his teeth. Even though he managed to dodge and defend against the attack, the terrifying force sent him flying through the skies. His purple robes fluttered as they coiled around him, and his hands slipped into his sleeves as they weaved hand signs.

”You think Iʼll just stand here and let you all crush me!?”

He roared before spreading his hands and displaying his palms.

The Venerable Knights instantly retreated, gaining distance.

However, nothing came out of Davisʼs hands.

”Pfft~”

”…!”

Davis almost let out a burst of laughter, causing the Venerable Knights to be infuriated.

”Donʼt get swept in his pace!” Venerable Knight Walritch reminded the others, ”If we were defeated, it would be because we were not calm.”

”Yes!”

The other Venerable Knights responded. They then gave chase to Davis again.

Although Venerable Knight Avarros maintained a calm frame, he was infuriated beyond compare to be played.

Davis reacted.

The reincarnation wheel behind him spun faster, causing the aurora from the skies to dim. The natural heaven and earth energy in the surroundings, which had flowed effortlessly to Venerable Knight Avarros, suddenly began to rebel. They wavered, suddenly not knowing where to go.

Venerable Knight Avarrosʼs brows furrowed.

ʼWhat is this power?ʼ He and the others noticed.

His control over heaven and earth was unmatched—he was heaven and earth at this moment as the Transcendent Titan Body was only second to the Transcendent Truth Eyes itself! Yet, for the first time, his dominion faltered as if something was challenging the fundamental balance of existence itself.

Davis smirked, his figure vanishing again.

When his body was rebuilt using the Chaos-Destruction Pill, his arrogant and indomitable Will also somehow made a comeback. Although he easily managed to suppress it, he now released it in tandem with Enigmatic Heart Laws and Life Laws. It directly poached the heaven and earth energy from Venerable Knight Avarrosʼs physique.

When he reappeared, Davis arrived beside Venerable Knight Avarros as he gathered chaos-destruction energy in his fist.

Stripped of the immense heaven and earth energy, Venerable Knight Avarros was unable to use his full strength. Even then, he punched out in reaction, causing Davis to be sent flying.

However, Davisʼs fist also connected, the resulting clash causing Venerable Knight Avarros to be torn asunder from fist to half the torso. His upper body was barely connected to the lower body anymore.

”Now!”

However, Venerable Knight Avarros didnʼt care as he roared.

The seven other Venerable Knights decisively abandoned protecting Venerable Knight Avarros and attacked the Divine Emperor of Death at the same time.

Venerable Knight Lussandra unleashed a spiraling storm of razor-sharp wind blades, her Verdant Seraph Wings flapping with such intensity that the sky itself seemed to split apart. The countless emerald gales formed a grand vortex, attempting to grind the Divine Emperor of Death into nothingness.

Venerable Knight Foredawn blazed with his Crimson Warflame Body, his entire body wreathed in flames as though it was hotter than the core of a star. He punched forward, his fist condensing into a spear of golden-red destruction that streaked toward Davis, leaving behind a molten scar in space itself.

Venerable Knight Damien smashed down with the force of Oceanic Autarch Body, his every movement carrying the weight of the boundless seas. Space itself curved, unable to withstand his existence. A colossal tidal force surged behind him, manifesting into a divine trident of pressurized water so condensed that it could pierce through a High-Level Autarch Grade Celestial Body with ease.

With a mighty thrust, he sent it crashing toward Davis, aiming to drown him in the crushing depths of an inescapable abyss.

Venerable Knight Walritch waved his hand, causing an eternal frost to descend from his Towering Phantom Ice Soul Physique. The temperature plummeted instantly, and an entire region of space here froze over from being destroyed barely. From his fingertips, crystalline chains of immortal ice shot forth, seeking to bind Davis while frost spirals erupted, trying to encase him in an unbreakable prison, the first step to sealing him.

The rest of the three Venerable Knights also unleashed their moves, one that didnʼt overreach and break the layer limit. They were careful and did not use Divine Techniques, yet their combined force threatened to destroy a part of the realm completely if they werenʼt in the high skies.

”...”

Davis looked at these attacks and wondered if he had made a mistake by soaring to the high skies since there was nowhere to hide or take advantage of but laughed.

”Hahaha!”

His laughter erupted like thunder, filled with arrogance, madness, and unshakable dominance. He barely just managed to gain balance when the myriad of terrifying attacks fell on him.

”Doomsoul Cataclysmic Samsara Wheel!”
