Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 5292: Blocked Path Of Retreat

Fairy Qiyra Darkstar’s purplish-black robed figured hung over a mountain peak, her long sleeves fluttering amidst the furious winds.

An astral platform manifested below her before she ascended like an immortal shooting for the heavens. The lower half of her figure disintegrated into pure black-white starlight as she ascended, the dazzling ray of light shooting above.

Ascending a Realm was far more difficult than ascending a celestial body. To leave the confines of an Upper Realm would at least take her three to six seconds even with her blinding speed, but she was slower than usual, being careful to not ram into any traps.

She gazed up into the vast space, already knowing that the stars were strange since she couldn’t sense them as well as before.

The forces wanting them to not leave this world had done something to or near the stars, possibly knowing about her escape technique. Once an escape technique was known how to work, it could be countered easily. Yet, she had no choice but to use it again and again, and even now, because it was the only thing that would allow them to escape this realm fast.

Just as she sensed the thin layer of the formation hanging in the air, a cackling voice boomed out.

”Leave behind the World Hegemon Grade Treasures, and the seven-day reprieve will be upheld! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless”

Fairy Qiyra Darkstar’s expression changed.

She recognized it to be none other than the Celestial Transcendent’s voice.

How can they be so fast!?

She hurriedly thought of pivoting as she knew she could switch to another star in the distance. However, the moment she saw how they arrived, using the fabled teleportation of Spacetime Laws, she instantly abandoned that plan. After all, it was said that even if one knew how to do teleportation, they could in no way use it due to the suppression of Time Laws. She was also incapable of it.

Hence, without wasting even a single second, she shot straight towards them.

”Oh? She’s approaching...?”

The Celestial Transcendent uttered with a faint smile as he took out the Stormheart Incarnation Prism that had nearly sealed the Divine Emperor of Death without this Divergent’s aid. With how she hid in the darkness, he didn’t think she was that brave.

But as expected, he should know better than to underestimate a Divergent who had managed to live without getting caught for so long.

Fairy Qiyra Darkstar soon reached the thin layer of the formation,

She took out a strange paper talisman, wielded it with a flick of her fingers, and threw it towards the formation. It instantly went ablaze, setting fire to the words-

[NULL]

It whizzed past the clouds and struck the formation, instantly turning into ashes. But it unveiled a strange power as the space affected by it glowed with a silver-black light.

However, the formation displayed no changes, staying as it was without a single ripple.

*Whoosh!~*

Fairy Qiyra Darkstar shot past the boundaries of the realm-wide formation, entering space. She continued to streak towards the incoming hostiles without a hint of fear in her eyes as she also took out the broken ring, its twilight undulations eclipsing her path.

The Celestial Transcendent instantly noticed it was a replica of the apex treasure, Necklace of Light and Darkness.

”Careful, she’ll summon a twilight space and switch places before continuing to leave.” He warned.

”The formation didn’t mark them. We must make them retreat back into the realm~”

The expert formation master who had comprehended Level Two Obscure Intent of Boundless Formation Laws, Grand Elder Yue Qing, followed up in a grim tone, not expecting the talisman these Divergents used to be so powerful.

It had nullified the marking yet made the formation remain intact as though rendering it useless. Although she could tell it had only made a part of the barrier boundary nullified, it was still ridiculous. This kind of power, if she hadn’t seen it, she wouldn’t believe it!

She finally understood at a deeper level that it was no wonder every single layer limit expert in this realm was having a hard time trapping the Divergents.

This kind of united threat was unprecedented!

Fairy Qiyra Darkstar shot towards them, but eighteen jade stone discs shot towards her from above, instantly surrounding her as they created some kind of field. She narrowed her eyes, knowing not to get caught in this sphere as she unleashed a wave of darkness energy.

With a wave of her hand, a spiraling vortex of darkness energy swirled around her, and spatial energy surged, disrupting the positions of the jade stone discs so they couldn’t form a stable formation field. The discs were abruptly shaken, appearing as if they were going to be sent flying, but were suddenly anchored to the space when Zest Hyluan raised his hand and clenched his fist.

Spatial Lock!

Instantly, Fairy Qiyra Darkstar felt a tremendous pressure fall upon her. It was unable to stop her, but it had stopped her attack from interfering with the eighteen jade stone discs. Instantly, these discs moved again and formed a stable sphere, abruptly brightening into a glowing spherical field.

”...!”

Fairy Qiyra Darkstar instantly realized what kind of formation discs these were, as she felt her cultivation slowly being suppressed.

It wouldn’t usually be a problem when fighting one enemy, but when faced with four layer limit experts, possibly all at the level near to the Celestial Transcendent, the chances of survival were really low.

She no longer tried to escape through her own methods and instantly unleashed the beings of her astral spatial ring one after another as she stopped channeling energy to her movement technique.

A black-white astral light coalesced into a black-robed woman as she soared into the space, her robes fluttering as she swirled and flicked her hands, her palms instantly unleashing a wave of silver-black energy, causing the formation discs to abruptly stop working as the spherical field died instantly.

”...!”

Grand Elder Yue Qing’s pair of beautiful eyes narrowed in shock.

The First Dark Apostle was indeed here!

Instantly, she used her Level Two Obscure Intent of Boundless Formation Laws.

Her Will instantly bloomed, resonating with the jade white stones that had gone silent. They rumbled and tried to reawaken even amidst the heavy influence of the nullification.
