Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2883 Keeping Them At Bay



Chapter 2883 Keeping Them At Bay

Great Ancestor Zenflame and the others continued to retreat at an optimal pace that didn't let the Emperor of Death near them.

Davis also stopped screaming, not wanting them to figure out the range for this unfair punishment from the heavens. However, he also didn't know the limit, although he knew this entrapment method worked until the other party was in two thousand four hundred fifty-eight kilometer range as he got Elder Pieren Zenflame at that range.

As for how he knew their names, he did his job of investigating the Fire Phoenix Clan's elders one by one during his stay in the Ghost Tear Hall.

Naturally, they had information on them as part of its intelligence network, not to mention information on known Elders and Grand Elders were almost available in every intelligence organization a cultivator could access.

Nonetheless, looking at the three unfortunate elders who had to chase him, his lips couldn't help but curl into one of pure satisfaction.

'Two Immortal Emperors and two peak Immortal Kings...'

Davis knew he didn't have the strength to kill them. He didn't even have the luck to kill them with Fallen Heaven, knowing that he would be violently endangered soon after he used it on them, not to mention the fact that he couldn't use Fallen Heaven at all under the presence of the heavens.

Therefore, just the thought of having taken them down was like drowning in pleasure, the sweet taste of revenge filling his soul.

However, as soon as he tasted it, his gaze flickered.

'This should be enough, right…?'

He had taken the lives of two Grand Elders, two Elders, and probably hundreds and thousands of lives. Forgoing the latter two, just the weight of two Grand Elders should be enough to satiate his quest for revenge, yet…

'My rage doesn't quell...'

Davis couldn't understand, but he didn't want to think about such things at this moment, causing him to wave his hand.

A burst of black-silver lightning split into four and struck the retarded elders.

Two of them died in an instant, but as expected, the Grand Elders didn't even receive a scratch from his attack, looking like fools to the very end as they wholeheartedly accepted his attack and acted like they hadn't been harmed.

'As I thought, can't kill Immortal Emperors easily...'

He wished that the heavens had taken out all of them, but it seemed like it had its own way of countering an Anarchic Divergent's unpredictability in accordance with its own rules.

Davis didn't give chase anymore. He turned around and left, shooting into the distance while still battling with the blackish-red lightning dragons that he kept around since he didn't want to start the Heavenly Wind Tribulation yet, where he presumed the twelve Paragon Magical Beasts would descend.

However, he noticed something else as he turned to look above, catching sight of a lone dragon three hundred and thirty-three meters long, silently hovering through the dense layer of clouds encompassing the horizon.

'So you're the thirty-third heavenly lightning dragon, uh...'

Davis couldn't believe that the initial three blackish-red lightning dragons split into thirty-two. Although their numbers were great, their prowess was greatly lacking even as they exuded a prowess that was nine levels higher. It was as though they were lightweight punches, although quick and deadly, lacking in energy as they quickly ended up dead.

However, as he took note of the giant dragon hidden inside the dark and dreadful tribulation clouds, he knew it could descend anytime.

'Right after I defeat the thirty-second blackish-red lightning dragon?'

He wondered, scoffing at it while rushing into another city.

The Fire Phoenix Clan was, once again, forced into following him as they just couldn't let him be.

But this time, they maintained a distance of ten thousand kilometers, only sensing his aura but not seeing his figure, although some of them seemed to have eye techniques that could reach him very well but dared not use them as it may be taken as interfering with the tribulation.

However, the three Fire Phoenix Clan's immortal inheritors were not like them.

They were only three thousand kilometers away from Davis. Clearly, they also saw the range limitation but didn't go any further to aggravate him. They only continued to see him defeat the heavenly creatures one by one as they wreaked havoc in the city, coming down to the last nine while claiming a few lives.

"Fortunately, I have relayed information to the City Lords to evacuate the people. But he… is he moving in a direction where there are fewer life signatures…?"

Great Ancestor Zenflame hesitantly spoke, unsure of what he was witnessing.

"Still… the lives lost and still continuing to disappear..." Hirona bit her lips, unable to see this madness.

She welcomed battles, even if it was one of war, but to have the tribulation as a shield while they were the ones in the wrong, the ones who started this mess, she felt guilty and responsible for those lives. They couldn't do anything to the Emperor of Death, neither stop him nor delay him. They could only watch as he destroyed their cities.

"Not to mention the huge loss of assets..."

Fire Phoenix Clan's third inheritor, Sierra, couldn't believe it as she saw the aftermath.

Even the Killing Formations she had set up in the major cities to trap and exterminate assassins just broke as though they had their weaknesses targeted, causing her to be utterly dumbfounded.

After all, even if some random Immortal King were to stumble upon her formations and undergo tribulation, she knew it wouldn't be broken unless it was active, but in this Annihilative Immortal King Tribulation, they were exploding even if they were just set up, only in a state of readiness and not active.

Not to mention the destruction of infrastructure, the monetary loss purely stemming from the destruction of Immortal Emperor Grade Formations was huge, causing her heart to shudder in pain as it directly related to the fall of the Fire Phoenix Clan.

After all, without formations of the Immortal Emperor Grade, how could they hope to defend themselves against other powers?

Wouldn't they attack them like they were rabid dogs now?

At this moment, three Immortal Kings appeared in the distance.

"Would you look at that? He's still surviving...." Said one man, wearing white robes while having his face masked.

"Let's go." Said another red-robed Immortal King.

"Wait…" However, the third immortal stopped the both of them, gesturing them with his head at the dark clouds in the skies, seeing an incredibly giant head of a blackish-red lightning dragon peek out.

*Puchi!~*

The Spear of Damnation pierced through the last tiny blackish-red lightning dragon that haunted Davis with every ounce of its power. Yet, it was unable to do anything to him. He flicked his hand and absorbed the leftover essence with ease, storing it in his life ring. Since his soul body was also inside the soul ring, there was no problem retaining these essences from disappearing.

*Grrra!~*

Just as Davis finished stealing the heavenly lightning essence, a monstrous rumble shook the world, causing many hearts to clench as they could see the world shaking in front of them.

Davis turned to look up, squinting his eyes as he readied himself for the giant menace while the gaze of the others shook.

Just what kind of heavenly punishment lightning was that!?

Judging by its majestic but overbearing aura, they could tell its prowess wasn't much different than the tiny blackish-red lightning dragons, the energy capacity it held was almost that of an Immortal Emperor!
