Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4407: Choosing The Opponent

After Davisʼs voice fell and silence reigned, Ancestor Dian Alstreim finally revealed his true prowess by unleashing his cultivation. Anyone who had a good perception could sense that Ancestor Dian Alstreimʼs cultivation base was still at Level Nine Immortal King Stage, and his prowess was utmost six levels higher.

Using heart intent energy allowed him to increase that to seven levels higher or even eight levels higher.

However, how long could he have maintained it with his energy reserves?

Would it be even possible for him to break someone with a strong soul? The little girl had been afraid of him from the beginning, which he made use of to easily control her for an extended period of time, but what about the other challengers? Were they too cowardly to even receive one strike?

Instantly, the powers who forfeited and the powers who convinced these powers to forfeit had an unsightly expression as though they had eaten shit.

Undoubtedly, they were played.

Whatʼs more, they lost an Empyrean Grade Treasure.

Of course, with the opening of the secret realm that led to a Shard World within the Elemental Dimension, resources at the Empyrean Grade were abundant. However, the problem was that most of them were reaped by supreme geniuses from the Upper Realms. The ones that could be obtained were also plundered by the Earth Dragon Villainess and Icefire Phoenix Demoness.

With almost nothing left for them, this was a wonderful opportunity to strengthen their power or hoard treasures even if by only a margin.

Hence, they felt vexed at being unable to attain the reward, which had supposedly been easy to obtain from this battle, and they gloriously failed.

The Davis Family and the others in the seating were full of laughter from the entertainment.

They already had a high sense of unity, but now, they were also feeling a sense of superiority. Their prowess was more than the young geniuses, and if not, their wits were high enough to make a fool out of them.

”Paltry tricks. You think you can make a mockery of us like this when you send someone either too strong or too weak!?”

Vigilant Stormbreaker Realm Master stood up and waved his hand.

Evidently, he was incensed by all the jeers from the Davis Family and even the others. After all, they had sent a little girl, but Ancestor Dian Alstreim didnʼt even harm her but sent her back without causing a single injury. It could be said that their devious plan to vilify the Divine Emperor of Death was thoroughly thwarted.

”Didnʼt you people win against my brother Ernest? Whatʼs with this accusation?”

Davis raised his brows. However, the Vigilant Stormbreaker Realm Master was entirely correct.

Even Ernestʼs defeat was planned. Ancestor Dian Alstreimʼs results were unknown to him, so it was a gamble.

He was planning to give them one more chance to win, and that was all.

”Hmph! Throwing the bones and feeding the dogs, only to hide the feast behind the walls. Donʼt think weʼre so foolish enough to not realize what youʼre up to.”

Davis nearly laughed out loud, but maintained a straight face.

”Fine, if you really think that way, choose an opponent by yourself, but thereʼs no need for defeated dogs to bark. Let the ones who still havenʼt participated choose.”

”You-”

Vigilant Stormbreaker Realm Masterʼs face swelled, looking as though his head was going to explode as lightning veins ran over him like they were a circuitry. Regardless, he maintained control over himself and didnʼt do anything other than sit down.

While the ruckus was still dying down, a Level Nine Sovereign quickly arrived before the stage. Only after he had entered did the others realize he had taken the chance to call out his opponents for himself, making their hearts clench in regret.

Why hadnʼt they moved first?

A young man clad in a blue robe, but also had a head accessory similar to a person of authority, cupped his hand.

”Greetings, I am Colonel Varga from the Thunderforge Citadel Lower Realm. As for my opponent, I choose you.”

He turned towards the Davis Family and pointed at a woman, his lips curling with amusement.

”Yes, you, little maid. Letʼs have some fun.”

”…” Esvele was flabbergasted.

She was just staying in one corner, serving some snacks to the Davis Family members, so how come she was chosen for a fight?

”Could it be that someone would say that sheʼs not a genius, so she wouldnʼt need to fight us? Was there such a rule?”

Colonel Varga snickered ever so lightly as he looked at the audience. However, he was telling the Divine Emperor of death indirectly.

”I did say that you can challenge anyone you like, but I didnʼt expect the young geniuses to be this scummy and cowardly. Regardless, Iʼm adding a rule that only those who wish to fight can enter, which will apply from the next round. Esvele, take to the stage.”

Davis gloomily said.

Everyone saw his expression and practically confirmed that they had this round in the bag- only until Esvele entered the ring and sent a flame bomb exploding on Colonel Varga.

*Boom!~*

A giant explosion erupted, but was fortunately blocked by the barrier. But inside, only one person was standing while the other was on the ground, thoroughly burned to a crisp.

The entire scene quickly happened that they only managed to catch a glimpse of the maid entering, and then immediately unleashed a Divine Technique to finish him off.

”No delay in using a Divine Technique…? How!?”

Some screamed out. They also recognized this was the Burning Phoenix Clanʼs Divine Technique, Entombed Cardinal Explosion.

Davis also blinked, not expecting Esvele to have comprehended a Divine Technique, much less cast it so fast that she only took two seconds or so, and the undulation of energy was practically hidden until it was unleashed. Her aura also turned visible, and now everyone could see that she possessed the aura of an Emperor-Tier Burning Phoenix.

”A maid who is an empress…”

Many couldnʼt help but mutter and inwardly curse Davis for living the dream of every man. In their minds, this bastard truly had too many beauties, and even a maid is at Emperor-Tier, leaving them quite vexed.

Eventually, they wanted another opponent, but since Esvele was present, they couldnʼt change it.

Esvele won her next battle too, but she was injured.

As for the third battle, she was defeated by none other than the Starnova Emperor, Levi Starchild! He had come together with the Starfall Gaze Lower Realmʼs entourage.

However, Esvele didnʼt care that she had lost since this was a premeditated move from the calculation Davis concocted. Levi Starchild had to win this fruit. Otherwise, it might be difficult for him to make it all the way to the throne, the Realm Master position, but with this win, his supporters would only grow.
