Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4537: Trapped By A Formation

*Boom!~*

Another surge of lightning descended and struck Davis’s barrier that covered the space above them.

The spatial barrier rippled minutely, not because the attack had an effect but because his spatial barrier effectively spread the lightning from hitting a focal point and causing more damage. The spatial barrier Davis conjured was much more complex than it looked.

He barely wasted any energy to setup this barrier.

Myria had her eyes closed for a few seconds, her soul sense spreading over the dome-like barrier as she researched the runes on it.

“Impressive. This formation has exceeded my current comprehension. I don’t think I will be able to solve it in a short period of time. Chances are, the resonance from our power will keep increasing the power of the formation until it destroys it in the end.”

“Let me try…”

Davis also used his soul sense, but he was even worse than Myria, not understanding heads or tails about the runes used.

He nodded his head, “The Mistwalker Family’s supreme geniuses are really something else.”

“It’s not their own effort since their formations are the accumulated effort of countless ancestors.” Rath Heavenshade harrumphed, “Sure, they can invent their own runes to change the base, mid, or the head of the formation that they have been taught in order to make it more powerful or to become more attuned with the environment, but it’s mostly their ancestors’ effort. Only when their formation knowledge reaches the Primarch Grade can they actually start calling themselves formation masters, otherwise known as a Formation Exalt.”

Davis smiled at Rath Heavenshade, who seemed to have a biased opinion on the supreme geniuses of the Mistwalker Family. He was basically saying that it wasn’t their own strength, but Davis thought being able to invent their own and making an even more powerful formation was excellent too.

With Lest Mistwalker’s formation, his battle force on the other Lower Realms was mostly chilling. They didn’t even have to make the first move, even if they were attacked. The Double Hexagon Dark Star Quintessence Formation was capable of taking down Peak Empyreans as long as they were powered by blood-soul essences of the twelve dark Grand Saint Magical Beasts, provided that their own power was also at the prowess of the Empyrean Stage.

That’s why the Heaven’s Warriors who did not belong to the Divine Sentinel Order never made a move even if they didn’t see their forces there. He doubted they would make a move even after he had come here.

Before they could even start battling his family’s forces, their losses would be great unless they could make the Double Hexagon Dark Star Quintessence Formation collapse first.

“Why are they called Formation Exalts when they would be Primarchs in the future…?” Eterna blinked.

“That’s because of the creator of the Sky Word Language,” Myria answered with a calm voice.

“Oh, since the inscriptions and runes themselves are inscribed using the Sky Word Language, created by the Sky Word Emperor, who was an Immortal Path expert, the Formation Masters continue to honor his legacy by keeping the titles. Am I right?”

Eterna’s expression lit up, causing Myria to nod, “Correct.”

“Hehe~”

The other children also listened.

They knew that a formation expert whose knowledge started reaching the Immortal Grade and had passed their particular examination could be promoted to the title of Formation Grandmaster. For the subsequent stages, they were called the Formation King, Formation Emperor, Formation Empyrean, and Formation Exalt. It was quite simple, and it had never undergone a change, unlike the alchemists, who wanted to keep changing the title since their cultivation path was different.

This was all thanks to the human race collectively respecting the Sky Word Emperor. He was one of the most prominent historic individuals who reached the pinnacle of the human race, yet sacrificed himself in a bid to unite the universe under one language that was capable of seeing through the secrets of heaven and earth and using its power.

In terms of universal good, it was said no one had yet to match him.

Just by hearing his legendary or mythical feats, Azariel and the others were also full of respect for him.

“Indeed.”

Abruptly, a melodious voice echoed from the skies, “And by the Sky Word Emperor’s grace, you are all going to die. The characters he created and improved upon by my Mistwalker Family will be the end of you all.”

“Layla Mistwalker…” Myria’s brows narrowed.

She had beaten her last time using their own Divine Technique, but this time, it seems like Layla Mistwalker wanted a rematch.

“So it’s you. Only you can create a powerful formation like this, Fairy Layla Mistwalker. Now, if you would be amicable enough to let us go, I’ll owe you one.”

Rath Heavenshade’s anger instantly faded, and he cupped his hands towards the skies with a charming smile.

Ralaza Heavenshade and Fairy Xiu Juili’s mouths parted. This womanizer really started flirting with someone who trapped them and declared that they should all die.

Ralaza Heavenshade jumped on her brother and started strangling him.

“Oh, you’re still confident even after seeing me?” Davis looked at the silhouette in the sky.

She looked like a terrifying fairy goddess floating above the dome, her robes fluttering amidst the howling winds.

“Divine Emperor of Death, no matter how powerful you are, you’ll only be enriching the formation with your attacks. In the end, you will die to the lightning from that strikes you from the top of the dome, just like you are undergoing a tribulation. It must be heaven’s mandate that you die this day.” Layla Mistwalker uttered calmly.

*Whoosh!~*

Plenty more silhouettes appeared in the skies, their hands reaching out towards the formation and strengthening it. At the same time, a mocking voice echoed.

“Haha. Originally, this formation was meant to capture Lightning Demoness Thunderblaze, but who would’ve thought we would capture the Divine Emperor of Death? It is our lucky day.”

A man’s voice boomed, full of arrogance and pride.

It was none other than Lambert Mistwalker, the most powerful supreme genius of the Mistwalker Family. His knowledge in formations was second to none among his peers, and his cunning nature allowed him to win many formation competitions, making him the strongest formation expert among the supreme geniuses of the sixteen Upper Realms.

“Oh?” Davis’s lips curled, “Fairy Thunderblaze is in this Shard Region?”

“Well, she did leave the Shard Region, but we know she’s coming back. Hence, we set up this formation. But you don’t need to wait. Start attacking and power the formation. Your end is nigh, Divine Emperor of Death. Or are you… scared?”

Lambert Mistwalker leaned and spread his hands, laughing like he had them right under his palms.

“If only…” Davis cast a disappointed look, “The journey has been like a vacation so far, and I think this formation is the same, nothing but a wall that could be broken easily. I suggest you remove it yourself and show a hint of apology. Then, you all could be spared.”

“…” Lambert Mistwalker narrowed his brows, “Even trapped, you’re so full of shit. It’s no wonder the Venerable Knights keep getting tricked by you.”

“Hmm?” Davis blinked.

Was the information about his battle with the Venerable Knights suppressed, and another version of it spread? He tricked them?

Could it be that they didn’t know how he defeated the Venerable Knights?

“Alright, fine. You win. I’ll give you ten Primarch Grade resources, so let us go.”

“Hahaha!”

Lambert Mistwalker burst laughing while Davis had his head lowered, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

“Seriously!? The terrifying and almighty Divine Emperor of Death is trying to buy his way out?”

Myria and Evelynn sighed while Azariel and the others got a bad feeling about this. They could tell that their father was planning something… vile. It seemed like the journey was so calm that he wanted to create some fun waves.
