Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4267  Down To Two

”Oh my~”

Mingzhi sensed a flare of chaos-destruction energy above as she gazed at Venerable Knight Lussandra, who was in front of her, bloodied and missing an arm and a leg. She hung helplessly in the air as Mingzhi grabbed her by the neck and absorbed nearly all of her energy.

She couldnʼt digest it, but with darknessʼs absorbing property, she was able to extract energy and eliminate it. This darkness devouring was more gentle than spatial devouring but was still nefarious enough to leave the victim gasping for breath as all the energy was being sucked out, causing them to be unable to circulate energy properly.

For cultivators who were stuck in a deserted region that didnʼt have a single breath of heaven and earth energy, lack of internal energy would only hasten their death unless their souls were perpetual or they could hibernate with the last bit of energy generated from their blood essence or soul essence.

But with Mingzhi absorbing and eliminating any energy that came her way, this strange avatarʼs split was going to disappear faster than it could restore energy, even with the heaven and earth aiding her with all its might.

Mingzhi lowered the usage of her power and smiled, ”Now, only two of you are left here. Whoʼs going to stop me from killing all the Heavenʼs Warriors below?”

”Theyʼve all left already…”

Venerable Knight Lussandraʼs voice cracked, ”You can no longer kill them.”

”Eh? Why not?” Mingzhi looked amused, ”Just like you people love to chase us, why wouldnʼt I do the same thing?”

”You- you canʼt…!”

Venerable Knight Lussandraʼs expression churned, ”If you kill all these Heavenʼs Warriors, youʼll only end up adding more to your list until you die one day. It is not in your best interest to exterminate them!”

”…”

Mingzhiʼs brows raised, her pupils dilating, ”You think I donʼt know that?”

She snarled, her voice heavy, ”But if I take a step back, you people will only see that as weakness and try to attack again. Do you take us to be fools who endure and never strike back? Unfortunately for you all, we have the most dishes when it comes to serving revenge. Weʼll make sure to distribute it to all.”

She snarled, her voice heavy, ”But if I take a step back, you people will only see that as weakness and try to attack again. Do you take us to be fools who endure and never strike back? Unfortunately for you all, we have the most dishes when it comes to serving revenge. Weʼll make sure to distribute it to all.”

”…!”

Venerable Knight Lussandra looked rattled. She couldnʼt imagine what kind of gruesome scene that would be like as this womanʼs power was much more fear-inducing- to be ground into meat paste while still being alive. The pain caused would be unimaginable.

”I- I can make it happen.”

”What?” Mingzhi narrowed her brows.

Venerable Knight Lussandra tried to speak properly, ”I can make the Heavenʼs Warriors not pursue you and your people anymore as long as you all stay in this Whispering Wildlands Lower Realm.”

Mingzhiʼs black hair rose in anger, ”You want to negotiate now that youʼre losing? Setting aside this shameless behavior, do you even have the authority? Youʼre not the Supreme One.”

”Iʼm a Venerable Knight, and I possess enough authority to keep the Divine Sentinel Order off of you for a period of time.”

”…” Mingzhi glared at her with killing intent, ”You think thatʼs enough?”

”…”

Venerable Knight Lussandra clenched her teeth, becoming silent.

”Darling, are you hearing this bullshit?” Meanwhile, Mingzhi sent a soul transmission to Davis.

Davis responded, ”She said the same thing to me right now. They want to minimize losses now that they can see their defeat. Itʼs a wise move that theyʼre trying only because itʼs me who can understand reason. They wouldnʼt try this with a Divergent who is deeply involved in actual evil.”

”Are you seriously considering this?” Mingzhi sounded irritated.

”No, you can continue to kill. I wonʼt stop you.” Davis quickly replied, ”Even I want to go crazy and end them all for their wretched audacity to gang up on us for a stupid archaic reason.”

”However, what Venerable Knight Lussandra is saying is true. If we kill these lowly Heavenʼs Warriors, only more powerful ones are going to descend. I am absolutely sure we can win every single time until we pull the Supreme One again, whereupon both he and I would probably end up in the void, but he could probably go back since the heavens would help him in some way and even heal his injured soul.”

”…”

Mingzhi couldnʼt retort.

What Venerable Knights? The Celestial Transcendent was the scariest.

She knew her Devouring Laws would easily crumble in front of him. Her powers nearly tied with the Venerable Hollow Knightʼs powers. If Davis hadnʼt comprehended chaos-destruction energy, then defeating the Venerable Hollow Knight would have been very difficult.

”Remember, we arenʼt alive now because we are strong.” Davis continued, ”We are alive because we are strong and entered a Covenant with the Celestial Transcendent. It would be wise of us to take a step back while having the advantage. We only need to kill those who are lunatic enough to attack us and attack us again, not those who are fleeing for their lives.”

”…”

”However, fuck that. Thereʼs only so much we could endure. Go ahead and kill them all. Iʼll be there after taking care of these two.”

”…” Mingzhiʼs expression flared. In the end, she sighed and let go of Venerable Knight Lussandraʼs neck and pushed her away.

”Bastard, you know I wonʼt do such an illogical thing that would put us at a disadvantage.”

”…” Davis didnʼt comment.

Venerable Knight Lussandra experienced a lot of coughing upon being released. She looked up, turning into a pair of wings, and returned to the main body.

*Whoosh!~*

Mingzhi also appeared beside Davis.

Now, there were two in both groups, but one group knew that they were not a match anymore.

Even Venerable Knight Damienʼs expression was unsightly. Ever since he started hunting Divergents, he had never known such defeat. But even he could tell that the situation was dire enough that they needed to lower their heads.

Normally, he would rather die than negotiate with Divergents, but if the Celestial Transcendent had other ideas by giving the reign to Venerable Knight Lussandra, he was unsure of what to do.

”Changed your mind?” Davis turned to look at Mingzhi and asked with a soul transmission.

”For Tianyu, Iʼll stay my hand.”

Mingzhi didnʼt look amused. It could be seen that she didnʼt want to choose this option if it was possible.

Davis couldnʼt help but smile. He didnʼt know how many times he stayed his hand because he had a family to take care of and protect. If it was just him- what did he have to fear? With Fallen Heaven, he had the confidence to bring about the greatest destruction this universe had ever seen.

”Such a doting mother you are. Donʼt spoil him too much.”

Davis smilingly shook his head at her and returned his gaze to Venerable Knight Lussandra.

”Know that if you cannot accept my conditions, then the Heavenʼs Warriors you thought they escaped will all die.”

Davis raised his hand, and abruptly, thousands of souls screamed in fright as they suddenly felt death looming beside them as though a deathly hand was on their shoulder.

”…!”

Venerable Knight Lussandra and Venerable Knight Damien also felt it. They held their breaths, sensing this strange premonition of death, but it wasnʼt like they couldnʼt survive it. However, they had their soul sense stretched below and saw their juniors also reacting in the same way even though they were all far away.

They pieced this phenomenon and instantly thought it was some kind of ridiculous karmic attack.

Davisʼs expression was cold, ”You Heavenʼs Warriors all ganged up with the same intent- to kill me, the Divine Emperor of Death. What kind of grave sin is that? You all have to end up suffering the consequences together.”

ʼJudgment Laws!ʼ Mingzhi noticed their reaction, and her lips couldnʼt help but curl in delight.

ʼThatʼs right. My beloved man would never miss an opportunity to get all the advantages he could…ʼ She was full of pride and watched them squirm under the weight of the judgment that he placed upon them with schadenfreude.

Davis started, ”First, you Heavenʼs Warriors will publicly declare that the Whispering Wildlands Lower Realm and Verdant Vale Lower Realm is off limits to the Heavenʼs Warriors-”
