Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4841  On Another Celestial Body

Somewhere amidst the mountains-

”Itʼs finally over…”

The words escaped like a collective sigh, thin and hoarse, as if even breathing too loudly might offend the existence above the skies that had only just receded. The people gathered on the mountain ridge slowly raised their heads after staring at the skies for far too long, their necks stiff, their eyes burning.

Dark clouds still lingered, torn and tattered, as though clawed apart by something violent. Faint traces of crimson-negative lightning flickered within them before dying out completely, leaving behind an eerie, unnatural calm.

The pounding in their chests finally slowed, but the trepidation had been etched in their hearts.

”What kind of tribulation was that…?”

Someone muttered, voice trembling despite their attempt to sound casual.

No one answered immediately.

”A new kind…” Myria said as she turned to look at Wix Voidfield, ”One that only he could bring about.”

*Hiss~*

Another sucked in a cold breath, ”It reached all the way here…”

Myria shot that person a look and saw it was Karyot.

He swallowed hard, ”Weʼre not even in the Six-Headed Hydra Upper Realm, much less close to the epicenter. How could it be so massive? Itʼs insane. I thought my soul was going to collapse.”

A third person laughed bitterly, ”I almost activated my life-saving talisman. I thought the heavens were coming for us.”

Her voice was sweet and charming. She was none other than Laphria Rinmei.

Myria controlled the trembling in her arms. She was unable to imagine what kind of tribulation strikes he had faced before this tribulation cloud receded, his life and death unknown, but she was still confident he could cross his tribulation.

The only problem was the Heavenʼs Warriors and others who would gang up on him.

She hoped that he could survive against all odds and was about to attack her bottleneck. Her aura surged.

”Junior sister, wait.”

Suddenly, the woman beside her spoke.

Myria turned to glance at her. It was none other than Qiyra Darkstar.

This woman was enigmatic even for her; her expression rarely ever changing. She wondered what Qiyra Darkstar would want with her when she raised her hand and looked as though she was demanding something or collecting debt.

”His soul essence- do you have?”

”…” Myriaʼs brows furrowed, not understanding, but they had been accommodating to her so far, so she answered.

”I do have, but what do you need it for? Make it quick since I donʼt have time. I must do this quickly before the Heavenʼs Warriors show up.”

”Donʼt worry. All of us are here to protect you.”

Wix Voidfield offered some words of comfort, indicating that no one here would sabotage them.

Myria lightly nodded, ”I know, and I donʼt want to burden any of you. It is dangerous to be here. Although my tribulation wouldnʼt be as terrifying as his, it would be more dangerous than what any of you have ever encountered. If the tribulation strikes turn out to be as powerful as me, just staying here could be fatal, as my tribulation strike could ignore me and deal with you all.”

”Eh? That bad…?” Karyot blinked.

He knew interfering in a Divergentʼs tribulation would be extremely dangerous, especially since they were either all Empyreans or Exalts. However, he didnʼt think tribulation strikes could go out of their way to strike them.

This didnʼt make sense.

Myria went silent before she took out the soul essence sealed in a pearl, ”I can only imagine how bad it is for my husband.”

She handed it over to the aloof Qiyra Darkstar, who then didnʼt waste time explaining as she placed her hand over her head and pressed two fingers against her forehead. She raised the pearl lightly as it suffused into her senses by using some kind of technique that glowed with a purple-black luster, making Myriaʼs brows squint.

”Whatʼs she doing?” She couldnʼt help but ask worriedly.

Wix Voidfield shook her head, having no idea.

Laphria Rinmei giggled, ”Senior sister is searching for your husband through the astral stars with her strange starry arts. She practices Immortal Cultivation as her main and Astral Cultivation as support.”

”She can do that?” Wix Voidfield blinked.

If that was the case, wouldnʼt have been easy for them to find Stella since she more or less possessed her blood and soul essence. After all, she had been nurturing Stella since she was born in a separate, unique mini-realm that was known as the Void Dust Secret Realm. She was her daughter, so she had to keep many tabs on her.

Instead, Karyot had led them to Stella.

”I think so~” Laphria Rinmei pouted as she looked contemplative, ”Senior sister Qiyra did mention that she would go look for him through this method so she can quickly appear before him and bring him back. However, the disadvantage is that she could only use this once in a certain period of time that she didnʼt reveal, so she kept it for this moment.”

Qiyra Darkstar suddenly opened her mouth, ”The stars in the space bear witness to nearly everything. All you need to do is ask.”

”More like threaten~” Laphria Rinmei giggled.

Qiyra Darkstar didnʼt react to that comment as she remained focus. Her divine sense bolted from one star to another, heading all the way to the millions of stars surrounding the Six-Headed Hydra Upper Realms.

It was as though she could see the entirety of the realm.

But it wasnʼt so exaggerated since her senses expanding outward could only be maintained on a few stars. However, she didnʼt need to waste time searching as she possessed Davisʼs soul essence, allowing her to track him from afar.

Despite the tribulation clouds blocking most of her senses, she locked onto an icy star and looked down from there, her astral eyes opening like an eye from the void.

Qiyra Darkstar abruptly opened her eyes, her silver pupils reflecting Davis fleeing in the skies through the usage of the Temporal Voidplane Ring.

”Found him.”

She hurriedly made hand signs and raised one of her hands up, targeting an astral star.

An astral platform appeared below her before she ascended like an immortal, then abruptly disintegrated into pure black-white starlight. This dazzling ray of light shot above, leaving the celestial body in an instant.

The black-white starlight vanished from the mountain ridge as though it had never existed.

For a brief moment, silence reigned.

Then, Karyot came out of his reverie.

”Wait! She just left this space like it was nothing?” He thought he was great with his Space Warping Gust Wings, but it turns out that he still wasnʼt comparable to Senior Qiyra Darkstar.

Myriaʼs heart skipped a beat.

Laphria Rinmei clasped her hands behind her back and rocked her heels slightly as she remained floating, eyes glittering.

”Senior sister really went all out~ If the Venerable Knights were to come in between, theyʼll probably spit blood.”

Wix Voidfield frowned deeply, her gaze lingering on the sky.

”Traveling through astral anchors… sheʼs burning through an absurd amount of astral energy. Besides, my guess is that this technique isnʼt meant to be used during this kind of time where the heaven and earth is still affected by this strange draining air.”

”As long as she could safely arrive in time and help my husband, Iʼll be indebted.”

Myria said and then rose to the air, attacking her bottleneck and starting her tribulation

*RUMBLE!*

The angry heavens that had just subsided growled in fury once more.

Laphria Rinmei looked speechless before she turned around and ran behind a purple-crimson-robed woman.

”Ah~ Save me~”

Fairy Thunderblazeʼs brows twitched, her aura wavering in the Empyrean Stage.

The one who had effortlessly concealed her tribulation acted like she was afraid of Myriaʼs tribulation, but sensing the annihilative aura in the air, she also had no choice but to take a deep breath, but in her heart, she wondered how terrifying it would be to be in the eye of the storm underneath Davisʼs tribulation.
