Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4815  Ridiculous Distances

One had to understand that an Upper Realm, from one end to another, is approximately over one million light-years in distance. It was nearly ten thousand times bigger than a Lower Realm. Even forty-eight Lower Realms failed to compare to a single Upper Realm.

An Immortal Emperor may never exit the Upper Realm they were born in their entire lives, as it could take nearly fifteen thousand years for them to travel from one end to another without a single stop.

Distance and speed were just one factor. The danger one would face while traversing nearly five quintillion kilometers wasnʼt something that they could tackle.

To put that in perspective, it was an insane nineteen-digit number: 5,000,000,000,000,000,000!

There would be plenty of adversities on the way for them to die without crossing even ten percent of the distance.

However, Davis was aware that Upper Realms were sprawling with teleportation formations that helped people traverse, so this was not really a problem- as long as one was rich and influential and obeyed the laws of the ruling power. Still, it took them a ridiculous amount of years that Davis wouldnʼt be willing to take to travel.

Three hundred years?

He barely lived a hundred years!

He couldnʼt comprehend spending that kind of time traveling alone.

He was sure Leader Arnoxin wasnʼt using the teleportation formations, so it could only mean that he was using his own strength or the replica to travel so fast. The only other person Davis guessed that could move half as fast as Leader Arnoxin was Karyot, who possessed the Warping Gust Wings Physique.

It was nearly the same as when a flying ship uses its spatial warp ability to travel, cutting short the distance as if teleporting a vast distance.

In that regard, Davis knew he could leave it to Karyot to help his family retreat in case they were somehow surrounded. Not many could stop him if he had made it to the Peak Exalt Stage, but he doubted that, since Karyot was still young among Saintess Lunariaʼs disciples.

However, if Karyot had become an Alpha Exalt, then things would be different. His prowess wasnʼt low to begin with, so he could quickly become comparable to a Peak Exalt. Davis still remembered when Karyot helped him retreat using the Warping Gust Wings Physique. They were out of the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Minor Realm in an instant. Rarely would someone be capable of catching him.

Nonetheless, this kind of unbelievably vast distance in and between the Upper Realms was why his wives were afraid that it would take a long time to return. He could use the Temporal Voidplane Ring, but he needed it to enter Exalt Grade. Otherwise, he could also take tens of years to return, even if he were to take advantage of other available methods.

Davis almost wished to call upon the leader of the Heavenly Blight Hall to help him return to his family if it was just going to take a few days.

However, he and his wives didnʼt plan it that way.

Saintess Lunariaʼs disciples would help his family in setting up their home and help him distract the Heavenʼs Warriors.

As for the Heavenly Blight Hall, they only needed them to distract the Heavenʼs Warriors.

They need their home to be hidden from the Heavenly Blight Hall, but Davis doubted that would continue to happen since there was a possibility that the token had been traced earlier by Leader Arnoxin, since he had given it to Mingzhi to communicate with them in the Lower Realms.

Therefore, when Mingzhi was in the Golden Radiance Continent, she also possessed the token before finally placing it in the Temporal Voidplane Ring to him, which he then placed in his spatial ring to contact them when the time comes. He wanted to hide the Temporal Voidplane Ring from them in case they got greedy ideas about it.

However, Davis didnʼt think Leader Arnoxin knew. After all, everyone would only start paying attention to him right after the pathways to the secret realm closed. Until then, they would not be spending their lives waiting for him to come out every single second like their life depended on it.

Hence, he didnʼt think Leader Arnoxin checked or traced this token he held before the secret realm was closed.

”So be it.” Davis started, ”If leader canʼt make it in time for my tribulation, I suppose I would greatly appreciate any distractions you could cause to pull them away from me before I start my tribulation. Do we have intel on the Venerable Knights?”

”We do.” Leader Arnoxin said calmly and pointed out the positions of each Venerable Knights.

”-you donʼt need to worry about the Venerable Knights. After all, even with their abilities and treasures, itʼll take the nearest of them at least one day to get to you. The nearest is in the neighboring realm, who is none other than Venerable Knight Aldric. Youʼre lucky since his speed is among the lowest of the Venerable Knights. After all, he possesses the Golden Vajra Peak Body Physique. Although it makes him one of the most difficult to beat, we donʼt need to worry about it since we can just escape.”

”Yes,” Davis nodded in agreement, ”I think I only need to worry about Venerable Knight Lussandra and the Venerable Hollow Knight, who are extremely fast.”

He had an agreement with Venerable Knight Lussandra and the Heavenʼs Warriors of the Divine Sentinel Order that they would not attack him, but considering he broke the Covenant, he doubted that they would follow it.

”Indeed. They are in my neighboring realms, so I can take care of them if need be. Hmm, everyone figured you would more or less appear in the Void Autarch Upper Realm or the surroundings due to the First Haven World Masterʼs legacy, fearing she mightʼve left something there. It is amazing that you can overcome everyoneʼs predictions, including mine.”

”…” Davis was momentarily speechless on being praised.

It wasnʼt like he was particularly choosing a realm out of the many dimensional pathways to do something other than his tribulation, so why would he go there?

Could it be that there was really something there?

Davis didnʼt think that way since the World Master really did sever ties with her old life.

ʼHmm… probably everyone wants to get into the First Haven World to get the World Masterʼs treasures. Theyʼre afraid Iʼll take them and grow incredibly strong again in a short period of time or even revive her since Iʼm in control of reincarnation energy…ʼ Davis wondered.

He guessed he had Azariel to thank for making him particularly focused on entering the Six-Headed Hydra Upper Realm.

”However, there are still Venerable Elders in every realm.” Leader Arnoxin said, ”They have gained their recognition by killing at least three Divergents by working together. They are Peak Exalts or Primarchs. If you are found by even one of them during your tribulation, you are undoubtedly going to die, so it would be way safer for you to undergo your tribulation after the other Dark Apostles or I come to your side. I recommend you wait for my wife, the First Dark Apostle, to come to you since sheʼs just one realm away from you, but chances are weʼll arrive at the same time because I have my spatial artifact to rely on.”

ʼThe leader has a wife?ʼ Davis blinked with a bit of surprise as this was unexpected, but he figured that this at least made him human rather than a monster.

After all, considering he faced the Celestial Transcendent, he must have a unique cultivation method to get far ahead of every other person in terms of prowess. It is amazing that he could stay in the Upper Realms while still being so strong.

Davis feared that the replica might allow him to stay in the Second Layer even as his prowess reached the True Deity Stage! After all, he figured that there were still some exceptional individuals who were exceptions to certain rules unless they break it.

Regardless, as far as the conversation went, the Leader of the Heavenly Blight Hall sounded quite reasonable and intelligent so far. He wasnʼt expecting someone humane. Intelligence was a given, considering he survived this long, but if he wasnʼt even somewhat reasonable, then Davis wouldʼve felt disappointed.

”Hmm, as long as they donʼt intrude on my tribulation, I have the ability to survive. It turns out Iʼm also in an abandoned region far away from the capital and the hustle and bustle of the cities, so the chances that these Venerable Elders are nearby are very low. Iʼll begin my tribulation soon after dealing with the Primarch who is heading for me. Letʼs see- Iʼll start my tribulation anytime within twelve hours from now. I would greatly appreciate it if the Heavenly Blight Hall started making a ruckus across all the realms, even here.”

”We are not that big a power to cover all the realms, but I will have the Dark Apostles create a great disturbance in all four directions. Use this time wisely to your advantage.”

”Many thanks, leader.”

Davis raised his hands and cupped his fists again.

”Good.” Leader Arnoxinʼs firm voice echoed, ”When youʼre done and have retreated safely, pour some energy into the token. I will know you have succeeded and bring you into this space again to meet the others and discuss our plans for the future of Divergents.”

”Alright.” Davis felt thankful for the help. They discussed a bit more before the twenty minutes was finally up.

”The Celestial Transcendent is unlikely to descend personally, so do your utmost to survive.”

With the final reminder from the Leader of the Heavenly Blight Hall, the chamber began disappearing, and Davis had his gaze fixed on the Temporal Voidplane Ring. He was a bit stunned to hear that the Celestial Transcendent wouldnʼt be descending personally. How could the other party say it? How had he verified that?

Nonetheless, if it was the truth, then Davis felt overjoyed.

If it was just an avatar, then he still had a chance to retaliate!
