Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1657 - Confrontation

Davis and Natalya came out of their room after cuddling like lovers for many hours, only to be greeted by the teasing faces of Evelynn and Fiora. Natalya’s expression became bashful as she recalled her actions closed doors and hid behind Davis, wanting him to protect her from the brunt of their teasing when Isabella suddenly appeared.

"Davis, they’re coming..."

"...!"

Everyone had their eyes widen in astonishment.

There were some scouts placed on the neighboring Territories, so Isabella would know if some people approached unless they concealed themselves. However, it seems like the Four Great Righteous Sects decided to openly knock on the front door.

Nevertheless, Davis grinned.

"Again, how polite of them to show up after I fully made love with Natalya and thoroughly satisfied her."

"Husband...!"

Natalya pinched his arm and pouted red-faced, "This isn’t the time to be teasing."

Davis patted her head and winked.

"It’s going to be fine."

Natalya blinked, beaming as she felt secure. She wanted to become strong like Evelynn and the others, and to that end, she delayed her desire to become pregnant with his child in her belly as she took a contraceptive pill, all in order to support him in the future like Evelynn and Isabella were capable of.

She talked about this with Davis during their cuddling session, and after some course of disagreements, he finally agreed to her decision. Davis wasn’t opposed to her becoming pregnant with his child, but the reason for it, supporting him through strength, he felt that there was no need to push themselves beyond their limits.

What happened to Evelynn? Without Fallen Heaven’s life energy, he wouldn’t have been able to heal her back that he didn’t want a repeat of that situation. He couldn’t bear to see them suffer, but the same way, after hearing Natalya’s words, he could understand that they couldn’t bear to see him suffer either and consequently wanted to become stronger to support him as much as they could.

The way his women were still bent on cultivating even after they knew that he had risen from the near-dead state told him their intentions to not have a repeat of that dire situation, making him also think how much they regretted their weakness while he was in a comatose state. Their pure thoughts made him lament his own weakness, even though it was too much to ask of a twenty-seven-year-old to take on the rulers of the hegemonic powers.

However, Davis still felt that since he had Fallen Heaven, conventional expectations and rules shouldn’t apply to him and that he should strive to be the strongest, regardless of his age. After all, having a fate-changing treasure should be his strongest weapon, but he had no control over changing fate and was well aware that he should also be careful of fate’s fickle nature that might even work against him as the last time.

There’s no assurance that everything will go well!

Resolving himself, Davis moved out along with Evelynn in a concealed manner while Isabella and Nadia’s doppelganger went to confront the emperors of the Four Great Righteous Sects out on an uninhabited island in the Grand Alstreim Ocean, where they gave their words to meet again.

As for the others, they all stayed within the safe confines of Nadia and his Solitary Soul Avatar’s protection.

Davis didn’t have the time, nor did he know how to set up new and powerful defensive and killing formations in the Purple Guest Palace. He had the knowledge in his mind in its pure state and have yet to digest it. When he tried to, he already knew that it would take a long time to do so as he found King Grade Formations and Emperor Grade Formations increasingly profound yet confusing, complicated to comprehend.

Clearly, he was not an elite genius in the Art of Formations but Alchemy, making him feel that he had to praise Alia Silverwind for setting up the current formations that guarded the Purple Guest Palace well. Furthermore, he knew that she also broke into the Law Rune Stage, creating a Magnificent Rune that allowed her to battle above a level.

Nevertheless, the Silverwinds have yet to know that he was alive, and the same went for everyone else in the Alstreim Family other than his close family members, Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow.

As he imagined how they would react to this day’s results, he arrived by the neighboring island and watched over Isabella and Nadia along with Evelynn as they stayed in a concealed state.

"They’re here~"

Evelynn spoke when a spatial tunnel opened right above the agreed island, and a magnificent twenty-meter-long ship that looked extravagant and ostentatious flew out of the spatial tunnel, appearing to radiate an immense might at the Peak-Level Emperor Grade.

"Space Laws, huh..."

Davis couldn’t help but grin from the shadows, "How useful..."

If Space Laws were being used here, who could it be other than the Vast Sky Emperor?

Perhaps, he already recovered?

Thinking like this, Davis became a bit greedy for Vast Sky Emperor’s Soul Essence at this moment. Moreover, since he already punished and made the Vast Sky Emperor suffer for trying to court Isabella in his absence, he already cast the death sentence on him.

However, he was not going to deal the death blow now unless the Vast Sky Emperor became vexatious, for he needed stability in order to improve his Soul Forging Cultivation to prepare for the disaster of the Calamity Light.

After all, Davis was instinctively aware that if he dealt with the Vast Sky Emperor, one of the Four Great Righteous Sect’s Leaders who more or less took care of the righteous world, it was going to cause a greater ripple in fate’s working, allowing the wicked path powerhouses to run even more rampant.

He wasn’t wicked enough to use this as an opportunity to take all four leaders’ soul essences as he could sense that they were High-Level and Peak-Level Soul Emperors as well.

Dealing a death blow to the Vast Sky Emperor was not now but a matter of when that depended on the Vast Sky Emperor himself.

’That’s why, be respectful to my Isabella, or else...’

Davis’s eyes shimmered with a frigid gleam as he watched the proceedings. He hid not because he wanted to be a hero who showed up at the right time but because he wanted to see what they would try to do to Isabella when they assumed that he was dead.

The spatial tunnel receded at this time while Isabella and Nadia watched the magnificent ship from the Vast Sky Emperor Palace near them. There were four people on the ship, and Isabella could see that they were the Karmic Guardian Emperor of the Heaven Gazing Sect, Mandate Emperor of the Heaven Mandate Temple, Starnova Emperor of the Astral Light Sect, and finally, the Vast Sky Emperor of the Vast Sky Emperor Palace who brazenly made a move on her.

"Greetings, Earth Dragon Queen Isabella."

"Greetings, Leaders of the Four Great Righteous Sects."

Except for Nadia, who was in her magical beast form, radiating her fiendish deathly aura, they all clasped their hands at the same time, greeting each other.

Isabella wore a resplendent golden robe and a blood-red veil, fitting her stature and position, although she didn’t know if the opposite party would pick up her intentions through this subtle dressing of hers. She separated her clasped hands and blinked ever so lightly, waiting for them to speak first while having complete calmness and confidence in her heart.

"Earth Dragon Queen Isabella,"

At this moment, the white-robed Karmic Guardian Emperor spoke.

"We all hope that you’ve been well during this time. All things have to come to an end at some point. However, some matters are still salvageable. We hope that you can join in our quest to protect the world from the Calamity Light’s disaster."

"I will."

Isabella’s eyes narrowed as if she was smiling, and it caused the four leaders’ to pleasantly nod their heads.

"But only after the righteous world allows me to take revenge on the Dragon Families as I see fit."

"...!"

Their expressions slightly changed as they looked at each other before the Mandate Emperor shook his head.

"Earth Dragon Queen Isabella. I already settled that matter through diplomacy. Although the Domitian Family and Zlatan Family are reluctant to give up just like that, the Orcha Family and Ike Family are willing to pay reparations."

"Reparations?"

Isabella became taken aback before her eyes became cold.

"Could it be that I can be part of the reason for someone’s death and later pay reparation in order to absolve myself of that wrongdoing?" Isabella’s lips couldn’t help but curve into a grin, and when seen through her blood-red semi-transparent veil, her lips appeared rather bloody.

"Then I’ll slaughter the Dragon Families’ Powerhouses and pay reparations later."
