Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4821  Fiery Darkness Engulfs The Upper Realms

”Wiiii~”

A little girl with a pair of golden eyes ran in joy through the garden. She was absolutely adorable with fox ears and nine fox tails flailing and swaying ever so lightly while she ran. She played with the purple-robed doll, making it fly as she waved her hands and followed it along.

However, she suddenly dropped it and came running back.

”Aaaugh~”

She ran back and hugged her mother, hiding her face over the skirt and crying incessantly.

*RUMBLE!~*

”Evergrace!”

Everlight fell to her knees as she hugged her daughter and looked up at the skies, which were rapidly turning dark as dark crimson clouds invaded their sanctuary.

”Mommy~”

She hurriedly stood up and ran towards her other child, Everdream, and carried the two of them into the inner courtyard and entered the mansion before closing the doors.

By the side, Evelynn looked out the window, her gaze trembling.

”He started his tribulation…”

”No way…” Mingzhi, who was seated on a luxurious sofa along with the other women, slowly shot up in disbelief, ”Thatʼs not possible… he is in the Six-Headed Hydra Upper Realm. Didnʼt I just explain to you all how far away that is…?”

”Then explain this pressure.” Evelynn turned to look away, not daring to look at the skies anymore since her head hurt.

She was still an Immortal Emperor, unlike Mingzhi, who could still see, only needing to squint her eyes.

”If… if that tribulation is him, then thatʼs insane. There has been no Annihilative Empyrean Heavenly Tribulation that has blotted out an entire Upper Realm, much less one thatʼs so far away. Weʼre not even in an Upper Realm…”

Mingzhiʼs breathing turned heavier before she sent a soul transmission to everyone in the mansion to lie their heads low and look down. At the same time, she told Stella to relay to the entire sanctuary that they must do the same.

”I wonder how Myria and the others time their tribulation right with it being like this…” Evelynn said worryingly.

Mingzhi couldnʼt help but shake her head, ”It seems dangerous. For them to challenge their tribulations at this moment would be no different than suicide. It must be done outside the scope. Hopefully, theyʼre out of range.”

”Mhm.”

Evelynn said. When she turned to look inside, she saw that everyone from Azariel to his little siblings couldnʼt stop shivering.

Azariel had a tough look on his face, and when he sensed Evelynnʼs gaze, he smiled.

”Donʼt worry, mother. Father will definitely make it out alive.”

”He will~”

Natalyaʼs voice echoed melodiously. She sat on the floor, unperturbed, as she took out a quill brush and reached out her hands elegantly, writing on the scroll in an elegant manner.

[Year Twelfth of the Covenant, Eleventh Month.

The Covenant was broken, and dear husband attempted to breakthrough in the Six-Headed Hydra Upper Realm and successfully broke through to the Empyrean Stage amidst the furious gazes of the Venerable Knights and the Supreme One before retreating without suffering a single injury.]

”…”

Evelynn and the others went speechless. She wasnʼt supposed to write history from her perspective.

Abruptly, the scroll lit up in annihilative heavenly flames, causing Natalya to harrumph softly as the scroll chilled, blooming with a strange cyan lotus before it evaporated.

She frowned, dabbed the burned brush with ink again, and took another scroll before she wrote the same sentence again and again as it burned from annihilative flames.

It was as though the heavens were very well aware of what she was documenting.

”...” Evelynn and the others could only watch in horror as they got the kids further inside to safety.

This was Natalyaʼs cultivation mental state practice bordering on fanaticism. She seemed to have reached a level devoid of common sense, dedicated entirely to the pursuit of fixating on Davis and worshiping him, that even the heavens couldnʼt stop her.

They couldnʼt fathom to what level she had reached like a Zealot, figuring that when she made it to the Divine Exalt Stage, her Godskull was going to be immensely powerful.

==========

*RUMBLE!~*

The skies grew fiery in the distance, making many people run to the opposite side as though they were afraid a firestorm was going to engulf them.

Within the fleeing mass stood a maiden. She rose into the air, gazing at the distant horizons with her eyes knitted in shock and confusion.

”How terrifying is his tribulation for the clouds to encompass an entire Upper Realm?”

She asked with disbelief etched in her voice, but then narrowed her eyes, her heart sinking in trepidation as she realized something. She turned to look toward the portal to the Nether Dimension that she was commanded to activate should a particular talisman break.

From inside, a skeletal messenger came out and said that the Divine Emperor of Death was in the far southeast corner of the Upper Realm Space.

This meant that he was in the Six-Headed Hydra Upper Realm, so how could it be that she could see these fiery waves of dark crimson tribulation clouds from the Prismatic Dream Upper Realm that were in the northwest?

Wherever she could see in the southwest corner, the skies were painted in dark red.

She assumed Virtuous Dawn Upper Realm or the Radiant Blossom Upper Realm, as seeing was believing, but the information she received was contrary to that.

For a moment, she wondered if their Nether Dimension helper was compromised and that they were being fooled.

”Quick! Venerable Knight Lussandra, if you donʼt come, you wonʼt make it through the portal and will be thrown elsewhere.”

The skeletal-looking figure spoke, its eye sockets glowing viridian while its jaws loosely cackled as it spoke.

Venerable Knight Lussandra bit her lips.

The one who gave this helper to them was the Celestial Transcendent, so she chose to believe him. Instantly, she abandoned the Heavenʼs Warriors army, who were tackling the threat from the Heavenly Blight Hallʼs Second Dark Apostle, and flew into the portal.

She arrived in the Nether Dimension and looked at several other Venerable Knights who had converged from the other Upper Realms.

Venerable Knight Walritch, who was positioned in the Eternal Frost Upper Realm.

Venerable Knight Avarros, who was positioned in the Forgeheart Peak Upper Realm.

Venerable Knight Borges in the Thundering Serenity Upper Realm, the safest haven from Divergents because of the realmʼs killing streak.

”Where are the others?”

She asked upon arriving, only for them to shake their heads.

Out of the nine Venerable Knights deployed in the Second Layer, only four managed to make it here?

Did the others not believe their helper, or did they choose to tackle the situation on their own?

Regardless, with time ticking, she didnʼt dare waste time.

She quickly moved and stood along with them within the black stone formation that appeared strange.

A strange old lady walked out of a peculiar building nearby, one that they would notice as something belonging to Nether Devils.

”Heh~ All this noise just for one Anarchic Divergent?” The old lady with a mask donned on her face twisted and made strange gestures that almost felt like a ritualistic dance. A strange diagram appeared above the black stone formation. She danced for a while, pulling the stars, mapping the realms, and finally pointing towards a zone.

The Venerable Knights noticed this zone.

It was a southern region in the Six-Headed Hydra Upper Realm. It appeared to be covered by a vast sea.

*Pui!~*

Abruptly, the old lady spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed.

”This…” Lingering in her gaze was an extreme sense of fear, but she clenched her teeth, which appeared barbaric.

”Quick! The co-ordinates have slightly veered off-course, but go into the portal before it closes. Otherwise, donʼt blame me for being unable to help you…”

The Venerable Knights cast a look at the small hole that appeared in the center of the black stone formation.

How was this supposed to be a portal? It seemed like it would suck them and make mincemeat out of them.

However, they only hesitated for a moment before jumping in. Surely, a True Deityʼs portal that was used for pursuit couldnʼt be any less than that of the targetʼs portal that they latched onto?

*Whoosh!~*

Abruptly, they found themselves alone in different parts of the Six-Headed Hydra Upper Realm, but everywhere they looked above, it was completely red.

”This… how can this be!?”

Venerable Knight Borges trembled, unable to believe the sheer scale of this tribulation. Now that he was closer, at least inside the realm, he could tell how vast these tribulation clouds were.

In different areas of the realm, the other Venerable Knights also froze.

They felt this realm was going to collapse.

Even as Heavenʼs Warriors Supreme Primarchs, they felt no love from the heavens underneath the anarchic skies. All it wanted to do was destroy, calling out to them with the utmost capability that it could muster for this Immortal Emperor Anarchic Divergent, the Divine Emperor of Death- so much so that it went mad and started punishing those who had karmic sin randomly, even without them having to face tribulation.

They clenched their teeth, regained their bearings, and quickly shot towards the In the Southern Abyssal Sea!
