Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4305  Talks With The Azure Tree Realm Master

It must be known that a Six-Headed Hydra was a ruler of an Upper Realm. If they knew that some Six-Headed Hydra had been enslaved, they would probably retaliate in the most ruthless way possible. They were completely unbridled but still protective of their own.

This begged the question if a higher-up was involved, someone like the Patriarch or even an Ancestor of the Six-Headed Hydra Clan.

”A slave seal could contain the trace of the owner. We may be able to figure out who it is even if he doesnʼt talk.”

Myria uttered.

Evelynn considered for a moment before she nodded.

To them, soul-scouring a Six-Headed Hydra was out of the question. Who knew what kind of disgusting things his memories had? They werenʼt willing to see, especially after Davis requested them, specifically Myria, that they do not taint themselves with those kinds of images.

Memories also contain emotions. It would be not quite wise to go through every untoward scenario.

”Speak! Who sent you here?”

Evelynn directly injected poison into the Six-Headed Hydraʼs soul. It caused a sickening sound to echo. A bone-chilling hiss sound reverberated as though he was being dissolved.

”Eeeghhh!!!”

A searing, corrosive pain erupted within him like an ocean of acid, boiling his soul from the inside out.

His soul form convulsed, his consciousness reeling from the overwhelming torment. The decay energy that had already been gnawing at him was nothing compared to this- a venom that didnʼt just corrode but assimilated into a hex, gnawing at every part of his soul essence, infecting them and etching their poisonous essence into them.

It would be extremely difficult to remove. No one could heal him except the poison user who could remove it.

”No… stop…”

His voice echoed in desperation and pain.

His soul twisted and warped, the dark green poison spreading like veins of corruption, threading through every fragment of his mind. He felt himself being peeled apart, layer by layer, like an insect trapped in a spiderʼs silk-slowly digested, yet unable to die.

”Itʼs…. Arghhh! It hurts! It hurts! Master, Iʼm sorry! I wonʼt open my mouth!”

His thoughts fractured, his Will splintered, but he barely managed to spill out some words before he begged for forgiveness, but it wasnʼt from Evelynn but to someone else.

Evelynn and Myriaʼs expressions turned solemn.

It seems like the slave seal disallowed him from talking about who sent him here.

”Refine the slave seal.”

Evelynn turned to look at Myria, ”Iʼll aid you.”

Myria nodded.

If a powerful slave seal blocked their path, then even if they forcefully soul-scoured him, they wouldnʼt be able to gain anything. Instead, the slave seal would harm the one it was attached to.

They wouldnʼt be able to gain anything out of it, so Myria decisively used Davisʼs soul essence that she had on her. She brought out a Jade Soul Pearl.

It was a Mid-Level Empyrean Grade Jade Soul Pearl they had specifically bought from the black market for the purpose of leaving to the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Clan with Evelynn. It was capable of holding Davisʼs soul for fifteen days. After that, it would collapse inwardly and would be useless.

Fortunately, it hadnʼt been that many days.

She absorbed Davisʼs soul essence, and her prowess became even higher, reaching the Late Empyrean Stage.

”…!”

The Azure Tree Realm Master and many others were shocked to witness this scene.

The Davis Family didnʼt come unprepared.

Even this small division had three people at the near-layer limit. It was incredulous. Just how many powerful allies did the Divine Emperor of Death have?

ʼNo… theyʼre all becoming too powerful at an insane rate…ʼ

It didnʼt take them long to realize the threat they posed to the Third Layer. If all of them stood at their peak in a few years, they could never be vanquished.

It was unknown if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but most believed it was the latter.

Myriaʼs reincarnation energy entered the Six-Headed Hydraʼs soul. The reincarnation energy was both a boon and bane on the souls, depending on how it was used. This time, it was an extreme bane.

She found the slave seal in the soul sea like Evelynn did and wrapped it around with her reincarnation energy, quickly beginning to refine it in order to eradicate it.

It would take some time to do without harming the Six-Headed Hydra and causing him to die, so she patiently began her work.

On the other hand, Evelynn and Wisteria guarded Myria together from any backlash that could be triggered by refining the slave seal. It contained the Will of the one who put the slave seal there, after all.

The most frightening thing was that they could tell it was nearly at the Exalt level, which meant the owner was at least a supreme genius who was at the peak of the Empyrean Stage nearly four million years ago.

At this moment, Tia soared above and aligned herself in front of the Azure Tree Realm Master. She cupped her hands with a cute smile on her face, although she was veiled.

”Good day to you, Azure Tree Realm Master. Now that things have been taken care of, do you still wish to stay here and have a chat or leave?”

”…” The Azure Tree Realm Master held her breath.

She took a close look at Tia, wondering if she was also hiding a terrifying prowess despite being only a Level Nine Immortal Emperor.

”I could chat. However, can you represent the Divine Emperor of Death in talks?”

”Of course. I am his twenty-sixth wife, still young and canʼt compare to my two big sisters there, but they certainly will listen to me, for I am the Karmic Guardian Empress of the Davis Family.”

”…!”

The Azure Tree Realm Master and the others grew shocked as they looked at her young appearance.

The one who was responsible for hiding the Divine Emperor of Death and his family all this time? So, the rumors were true?

But how can such a small and young Mystic Diviner be so erudite in such a complex study like divination? It wasnʼt like prowess that was gained through cultivating. For divination, even though cultivation was also important, it heavily relied on oneʼs understanding of the workings of the flow of karmic energy and its relation to the universe.

It cannot be something that could be brute-forced unless she was a possessor of a special bloodline, physique, or a being of tremendous luck!

The Azure Trees and Tia sat down in the middle of space. Small tables appeared before them, and they were quickly replenished with refreshments. The young Azure Tree woman also joined after handing over Ancestor Morten and the battleships to the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Clan.

Ancestor Alissara and everyone else looked as though they were going to shiver and explode from how they flexed their spider bones, intending to make a skewer out of them. Still, they stayed their hands and decided to publicly execute them in their Minor Realm.

”Why did you reveal that kind of important information to us?”

The Azure Tree Realm Master frowned.

Now, they were in a precarious position because the Divine Emperor of Death may not leave them alive after she let them know who their Karmic Guardian was unless she was lying. But she didnʼt feel like she was lying at all.

”Oh, my~ A beginnerʼs mistake. Iʼm not that smart~”

Tia giggled lightly.

”…” The Azure Tree Realm Master didnʼt believe it one bit.

Tia smiled at them before she turned to look at the young Azure Tree woman who nearly had never spoken even in the Candidacy. At the very least, she didnʼt see her speak.

”Say, are you willing to trade those pills you gained?”
