Divine Emperor of Death

*Whoosh!~* *Whoosh!~* *Whoosh!~*

From the distance, the Heaven's Warriors, who had left to deal with the disturbance in the northern edge, returned. Their expressions weren't good as they came across the Obsidian Citadel, which was in ruins. Only the outer region barely managed to survive, while the inner region was destroyed by eighty percent. As for the core region, it was completely devastated, with the execution stage nowhere to be seen, and only a huge crater was present.

"What happened here?"

Just as one of them asked, the bright sun above disappeared. Dark red crimson clouds enveloped everything, causing the Heaven's Warriors to be alarmed.

"Quick, it's the Anarchic Divergent, Divine Emperor of Death. He has started his tribulation."

"Let's go end him. The heavens are with us!"

They shot towards the distance, able to sense where the center of the tribulation was located. After all, the Heaven's Will was actively calling upon them.

But halfway through, they spotted a figure on the ground lying in a crater, unmoving.

"Venerable Elder!"

His skin was utterly black, looking like he was severely poisoned. They could tell it was the hateful death energy. However, they quickly fed him a top-tier Empyrean Grade Healing Pill and even cast light energy, hoping to save him. He was barely breathing and appeared to be unconscious.

Although they could see his dantian was destroyed, the other party was still an Empyrean. Even for an immortal, healing or getting a new body was possible as long as their soul remained.

"Wait… what is that?"

Abruptly, one of them pointed at the skies.

The dark crimson clouds rumbled with fury and dominance, but at the very center, there was a swirl of purple-gold-white clouds. They shined brighter than the dark crimson clouds, exuding a radiance of warmth underneath the tribulation.

Their jaws dropped.

"Impossible… purple-gold-white clouds… the sign of having fourth-tier karmic virtue."

"Is he… Is an Anarchic Divergent actually undergoing a Heavenly Water-"

"Impossible! Don't be stupid!" One of them was furious at the thought of it.

"That's right, that's right… it shouldn't be possible."

The one who got berated nodded and shook his head. They wondered if someone else was there undergoing their tribulation at the same time, but they quickly dashed that thought as any tribulations undergone inside the range of an Anarchic Tribulation would surely turn into an anarchic one.

This led them right back to the notion that the Divine Emperor of Death was the one undergoing the Heavenly Water Tribulation!

"But if it is him… then the rumors that he isn't evil… should be…"

"That's irrelevant! Even now, the heavens are calling for us to destroy him, no?" The leader waved his hand.

"Yes!"

They nodded and shot towards the tribulation site, intending to kill the Divine Emperor of Death as it was their greatest chance. During this short time, they had been filled over what went on by the Realm Masters left in the ruined capital city, so they became aware that the Divine Emperor of Death possessed a ridiculous treasure that allowed him to wreak havoc even amidst many Empyreans.

It was also in the report back then when Autarch Yulan Nazarin retrieved Clara, so they believed it.

But now, the heavenly tribulation had descended.

No external items that were over one's cultivation base could be used. If they do so, the tribulation would respond in kind, so they knew the Divine Emperor of Death wouldn't use such a treasure during the tribulation, making it the best time to end him!

They couldn't let go of this chance!

They picked up their pace, flying with the fastest speed they could muster.

At the other end of the distance, a group of Heaven's Warriors also shuddered.

There were three of them, but instead of heading towards the tribulation, they sped forward, trying to leave the realm.

It was none other than Autarch Yulan Nazarin and the other two Heaven's Warriors.

However, their expressions were quite unsightly.

"Damn it!" One of them yelled out, "The heavens are calling us! I so want to kill that Anarchic Divergent who is bold enough to call down his tribulation at this moment, but protecting a ruler is also worthy of sacrificing our mission."

"Fortunately, we are far away, or we would be forced to battle him like moths flying to snuff out the flames regardless of whether we're powerful or weak. By this time, the hunting squad sent to deal with the disturbance would've also returned. They would take the Anarchic Divergent down without fail."

The other man was much more calm but still frustrated. Still, he offered some words of consolation.

Autarch Yulan Nazarin didn't look convinced. He imbued his senses within the life ring and found Clara having fainted. She didn't wake up even during the heavenly call, so the damage she received should be quite heavy, or perhaps her mentality had also taken damage after her brother tried to end her.

He couldn't help but sigh, shaking his head.

"If they can't take him down, then us going there is also useless. It is better to protect the heaven's ruler instead."

They picked up their pace and flew faster, not bothering to conserve energy as the heaven and earth energy was good to them, aiding in their energy regeneration twenty percent faster than for normal cultivators and, for some, even better.

But suddenly, they panicked as tens of assassins surrounded them.

"Heavenly Blight Hall!"

Autarch Yulan Nazarin roared in anger. This bunch never fought honorably and always targeted when they were vulnerable!

The two Heaven's Warriors behind Autarch Yulan Nazarin instantly made a decision as they nodded. They attacked him over his back with their palms, launching him forward with a tremendous speed that any of them wouldn't be able to catch up to.

"Go! Don't stop!"

Autarch Yulan Nazarin burned his blood essence. He cast an escape technique at the same time, not looking back as she fled despite the shame encroaching on his soul.

When had the Heaven's Warriors ever been on the losing side? This wasn't his first time facing defeat, but this appeared to be a total loss even when so many of them had gathered!

The two Heaven's Warriors stopped and turned around, rushing at the assassins as their heavenly aura pulsated. With the tribulation aura around, they were stronger than normal.

Underneath the Annihilative Immortal Emperor Heavenly Tribulation, Davis was submerged within the heavenly water for eight whole seconds. At the ninth second, the Annihilative Heavenly Lightning Tribulation was going to begin, and just as he thought, the purple-gold-white clouds parted and revealed a black-red lightning bolt undulating with the power to end even a Late Stage Immortal Emperor.

"…"

Only— Davis couldn't even take it seriously as he watched it fall on him within a split second.
