Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1641 - The Righteous Path

From Davis's supposed death, eight months have already passed. At this time, he was at Peak-Level King Soul Stage and was on the route to rapidly approaching the Emperor Soul Stage.

On the other hand, the Four Great Righteous Sects were getting more active with sending out their experts and powerhouses to fight the wicked path who sneaked inside through the Territory Fog and ready themselves for the upcoming calamity by searching, collecting, and plundering resources from all over the world.

Realizing the necessity, some powers even decided to use their Spirit Stone Vein Sources to increase their cultivation. Some of them were caught, but surprisingly, they were let out with little punishment, causing even Spirit Stone Vein Sources to be added to the list of resources that can be plundered.

Therefore, there were many disputes, schemes between the righteous path powers taking place at this moment. The Large-Sized and Mid-Sized Territory Hegemons were relatively peaceful, looking at the overall situation as they worked together to overcome the calamity that might soon befall them. Contrary to them, only the powers that had little confidence in challenging what was upcoming were scared as they began to scheme and plunder resources from others.

For a few instants, chaos ensued before returning to a peaceful calm. It kept changing every day, making many powers feel unsecured and anxious about their future, therefore, leading them into a whirl of protecting and plundering only to have the chaotic cycle repeat again and again.

The Four Great Righteous Sects low-key stopped concentrating on these powers other than the ones in the Nine Western Territories. They were already beginning to build a massive structure that could host millions of cultivators in the Twilight Physician Hall Territory, where it was surrounded by righteous powers on all sides.

"Sigh, this Emperor of Death ruined all our plans to capture the source of the calamity. Where did he even come from? The Hex Demoness too. She's too powerful, as powerful as me. I hope characters like them don't keep appearing in these turbulent times…"

A man with a fair and handsome complexion spoke. He possessed golden hair and a luxurious sapphire-colored attire that seemingly radiated a certain type of majestic aura. If one had appraising eyes, they could see that it was a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Robe that could even defend against the attacks of a Peak-Level Martial Overlord.

He sat along with three others on a wide round table, seemingly in an ongoing discussion with them in this hall that was located somewhere on the Fifty-Two Territories. They all appeared to have their own unique attire and looked dignified, full of grandeur, while their expressions also possessed a bit of pompousness.

"You can't say that, Vast Sky Emperor."

A white-robed man with a golden fur over his shoulder spoke. He appeared quite young, but his voice was a bit deep, fleshed out, and pleasing to one's ears.

"The Emperor of Death may have killed those hegemons, but with our prowess, we've still managed to keep those powers standing tall. Things haven't changed much, and there's no deviation in the divination. Isn't that right, Karmic Guardian Emperor?"

"True," Another white-robed man whose expression remained tranquil and poise spoke, "What Mandate Emperor is saying is in lines with the heavens. There's not much deviation, leading me to presume that the source of this calamity should still appear in the Nine Western Territories Young Expert Competition regardless of what the Emperor of Death caused. In the grand scheme of things, his actions were nothing but a ripple that was unable to shake the grasp of fate."

He possessed youthful white hair that freely flowed till his waist, making him appear like an immortal while his words were seriously taken that the other three couldn't help solemnly nod their heads.

"If there's only little deviation, then it should be possible for our elite geniuses to take part in this competition, no? I'm sure we can create divisions amidst the geniuses to compete, Karmic Guardian Emperor."

A purple-haired young man spoke with a nonchalant voice.

"It isn't as simple as that, but Starnova Emperor does have a point. If the source did not change the trajectory of its fate path, then there is no reason to be holding back with our own elite genius disciples."

Karmic Guardian Emperor nodded as he brushed his white hair while Starnova Emperor smiled amusedly.

"However, our elite geniuses of the new generation have already entered or have secluded themselves to enter the Ninth Stage in order to combat the upcoming disaster of the Calamity Light." He shrugged as he flicked his majestically designed black radiance sleeves that slightly shone with a golden light, "Will those ignorant people even be able to perceive them as young generation experts?"

"It doesn't matter." Vast Sky Emperor uttered with a smirk on his face, "At least, the Emperor of Death's actions made us realize that the source wouldn't change its mind even after the chaos. It is quite obvious that it's, whatever the source may be, is unafraid of us at this point."

The others couldn't help but nod.

These four were none other than the leaders of the Four Great Righteous Sects. The Vast Sky Emperor Palace's Vast Sky Emperor, the Heaven Gazing Sect's Karmic Guardian Emperor, the Heaven Mandate Temple's Mandate Emperor, and the Astral Light Sect's Starnova Emperor.

The four of them together ruled in the righteous path in the current era.

"Then that makes it clear then…" Starnova Emperor smirked with his devilishly handsome face, "Our elites are also participating in the Nine Western Territories Young Expert Competition. Perhaps, they may even surpass us in the future when the calamity strikes if they manage to survive. After all, surviving a danger translates to getting stronger most of the time."

The other three nodded perfunctorily, bringing this matter to an end.

"Is there any news on the key to the Forsaken Phoenix Realm?"

The Karmic Guardian Emperor asked, his tranquil expression becoming curious.

"Earth Dragon Queen Isabella still stalls for time." The Vast Sky Emperor shook his head, "I don't know what she is trying to do, but there are no specific or suspicious movements on her side as she just stays in the Grand Alstreim City and is not seen anywhere else, which is confusing but also understandable, considering that she is mourning for her late husband."

"If she's not, could she possibly be trying to break through?"

Mandate Emperor couldn't help but cast a skeptical gaze at the Vast Sky Emperor that the latter chuckled.

"Doesn't seem like that as she was sighted multiple times along with the wicked wolf. From what I can see, only she can control that wicked wolf other than the late Emperor of Death, so it is necessary that we try to make her join on our side. Not only will she be a huge asset fighting against the Calamity Light, but she is also capable of entering the Immortal Stage as us."

"Did this Calamity Light come for us?" Mandate Emperor suddenly narrowed his eyes, "Are we being forced to perform a breakthrough here?"

"If we breakthrough and ascend, it quite possibly isn't worth it." Starnova Emperor shrugged, "Contrarily, we might have more chances surviving this Calamity Light and continue living our lives as the rightful rulers."

Everyone appeared to know what he was talking about, but they didn't comment on it.

"Nevertheless, there are only four months left for her Earth Dragon Queen Isabella to given an answer. Since you're all worried, I'll go check on her."

Vast Sky Emperor stood up, his expression full of confidence.

"You're quite the ambitious man. If you manage to court the beauty while she is still vulnerable but aggressive, I'll accept defeat."

Starnova Emperor also stood up as he spoke, looking ready to leave while the Karmic Guardian Emperor and Mandate Emperor followed suit.

"Heh." Vast Sky Emperor merely chuckled and left.

"What about you all?"

Starnova Emperor looked at the others, "Are you two not interested?"

"I am interested, but if I and Vast Sky Emperor fight at this junction, we possess fewer chances of survival." Mandate Emperor shook his head, but on the other hand, the Karmic Guardian Emperor merely smiled.

However, Starnova Emperor laughed, "Then after Vast Sky Emperor fails at courting her and instead courted death, I'll take the initiative. At that time, you two wouldn't be competing with me, right?"

"Starnova Emperor, you may be the youngest of us all, but if you think that we old ones would let go of this opportunity, it would be foolish of you. We merely don't want infighting to happen, so don't mistake that as agreement."

Mandate Emperor merely chuckled, causing Starnova Emperor's expression to become cold before he smiled.

"Jeez, guess this young prodigy can only go court Burning Phoenix Ridge Sect Master's Lea Weiss or Glorious Pill Palace's Pill Empress Farah Lanate before someone takes advantage of them and this upcoming crisis."

The Karmic Guardian Emperor and Mandate Emperor shook their heads in exasperation. Both of these beauties were highly sought out, and many powers were sending out their invitations to court them. However, if the Starnova Emperor were to make a move on the both of them, it would be like the Emperor coming to bully a commoner that they couldn't help but feel sorry for these so-called commoners who are High-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouses.

Which noblewoman wouldn't dream of being together with a true Emperor?
