Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1321 - Entering The Burning Phoenix



Chapter 1321 - Entering The Burning Phoenix

*Whoosh!~*

A silhouette rushed past out of a Territory Gate as the omnipresent pressure receded from suppressing the body. The figure was dr.a.p.ed in a pristine dark black robe with a few wolf patterns over the arm and behind the torso.

The figure seemed like a man with lush black hair stretching to the waist, tied up in a simple ponytail. He walked out, his face visible with handsome features as he looked around before checking out his own robes as his brows raised.

'Didn't think that I would find a robe on the journey that matched with Nadia...'

"Well, in any case, I finally made it to the Burning Phoenix Ridge..." Davis raised his head and saw the red-robed disciples lined up in a similar manner to the other hegemon's disciples at the previous gates.

However, unlike the Dual Lotus Manor's disciples who stood in pairs, flirting with each other, these disciples had their heads a bit high, looking bored yet also possessing a condescending gaze as if they had nothing better to do than judge the people that came out of the Territory Gate.

"Stop... Show your face..."

A handsome, light red-haired Grand Elder who stood at the very front suddenly grasped the sword's hilt as if he was going to draw it out from its majestic-looking scabbard.

Davis blinked before he looked to the side and saw a masked man with a black robe.

The first thought that crossed his mind was, was remaining anonymous not allowed? But then, he noticed that there was an ominous air about this particular masked man, a blood-l.u.s.t that slightly leaked, his presence even reeking with a putrid scent if he sensed closely with his soul sense.

'Ah, c'mon... I don't want to get into trouble right at the start for some unrelated reason...'

He moved away while the other cultivators also did the same as they rushed back, seemingly defending themselves with a barrier in case a fight between the elder and this masked man ensued.

"Gehehe..." The masked man began to wryly laugh, "Ah, I was unable to hold myself back from sensing the fiery yang you all have... I hate it!"

He suddenly flew into the air, his mask coming off and revealing his pale features before the putrid scent became awfully pungent as it spread to the surroundings.

"A corpse cultivator! Don't inhale the yin poison that naturally comes off of him!"

The elder from the Burning Phoenix Ridge warned the other disciples.

The disciples all directly summoned flames around them to protect themselves as they took up position in a formation, but they didn't seem to activate it as they left the mess to the elder. The flames around them lit up with a fiery crimson as it protected them.

However, the flames that these disciples released were quite dull when compared to the red-robed elder as he drew out his sword from the scabbard in a calm manner, his entire being looking so majestic that it deeply attracted the eyes of the onlooking ladies.

"Which wicked path power are you from?"

"Uh... Don't know that myself... but you can try killing me, and see which power comes after your life, geheheh~" The corpse cultivator laughed wickedly as he took out a candle that instantly lit up with an eerie white-blue flame.

Ominous black-colored smoke rapidly churned out as it began to engulf the surroundings in a cloud of thin smoke.

*Whizzz!~*

The air was sliced, followed by a wave of fiery crimson flames that burned the black-colored smoke into oblivion!

The corpse cultivator's expression was rather ugly as he looked at the red-robed elder posturing with his sword pointed towards him.

"Surrender and await your rightful execution, you evildoer. But I don't think that you will obediently comply, will you?"

"Hahaha..." The corpse cultivator mockingly laughed, "I underestimated you a bit. Even though we are both at the Peak-Level Law Sea Stage, I thought I was only at a bit of a disadvantage with the formation here, but to think that your prowess is higher..."

"Of course, who do you think I am? I'm an Elder of the Burning Phoenix Rid- Activate the formation and trap him!"

The elder abruptly shouted as the disciples all reacted without any lag as a fiery light began to shine.

*Whoosh!~*

"Seems like I must make my exit!"

The corpse cultivator made an amused smirk while moving at the same time as the elder shouted. Resplendent light that shone with a fiery red hue abruptly engulfed him and the other people surrounding him before it shortened into a mere few meters, trapping him in place.

His skin began to quickly burn under the concentrated attack of the Mid-Level Emperor Grade Formation.

"Hehehe..." The corpse cultivator wryly laughed as if he had seen his death coming before he twisted his head, looking at the elder as he smirked.

"Is that all you got?"

*Zumm~!*

Space trembled as he suddenly disappeared from the eyes of everyone present. When he reappeared, he was outside the range of the focused formation.

"Damned Space Laws!!!"

The elder gritted his teeth in annoyance as he quickly shot towards the corpse cultivator while having intense fiery crimson flames wrapped around him and his majestic sword that seemed to be at the Low-Level Emperor Grade.

"Gahahaha! Move! Move out of the way! Or you'll all be poisoned by my corpse yin fragrance!"

The corpse cultivator flew towards the side in a bid to escape while the black-colored smoke kept churning out of the white-blue candle flame. Obviously, it was an artifact like the Illusory Yantra King Bell, but it didn't seem to have the karmic property that had been poured into the Illusory Yantra King Bell by the people who had nurtured it.

It was just an evil yin artifact at the Low-Level Emperor Grade used by a wicked cultivator.

*Swoosh!~*

"AHHHH!!!~~~"

The obnoxious black-colored smoke closed in as the people began to scream for their lives as they tried to run away from it.

"Stop!"

The elder bellowed as his eyes became wrathful.

How could he allow innocent lives to be shed on his watch? It was a shame to his name as well as his power!

He released another crimson fiery sword wave that practically split the surface in half as a ditch was created while on its way to the corpse cultivator as it practically tore the space apart in an extremely thin line!

"Gahahahaha!!!"

The corpse cultivator crazily laughed as he unleashed his yin essence energy, erecting an ominous barrier that surged into yin flames before it pounced on the incoming crimson fiery flames as if it turned into a dragon's maw.

*Boom!~*

The two conflicting powers met and seemed to hold each other off as the corpse cultivator created even more distance between them.

"Gahahaha! So long, mongrels of a phoenix and vermilion bird!"

"Bastard! Leave your life behind!"

The elder was about to use his blood essence to make him stay when his expression turned from wrath into one of shock.

*PaahhhH!~*

A sudden yet resounding slap appeared from nowhere as it heavily hit the corpse cultivator's cheeks while his body twisted and flipped in the air from the impact!

"F.u.c.k! How dare you target me along with the others!? You're just asking for it!"

"W-What!!!?" The corpse cultivator became dizzy from the slap, but he noticed that the elder of the Burning Phoenix Ridge was quickly approaching him!

"Spatial Rend!"

*Ripp!~~*

It was as if space was torn apart by his hands as the corpse cultivator reached out his hand and clenched. The reality in front of him split in two in a single horizontal line heading towards the Burning Phoenix Ridge's elder!

However, the elder had a calm expression on his face as his flaming steps allowed him to evade the tearing line of space before he got under the blind-spot of the corpse cultivator and lightly muttered.

"Such crappy use of the Spatial Rend Technique is a disgrace to all spatial law cultivators..."

The sword was once again drawn from the scabbard way before he finished his speech!

"Shit...!"

The corpse cultivator churned with essence energy as he sacrificed his blood essence, but fiery crimson flames abruptly engulfed him, setting him ablaze!

"AhhhH!!!~~~" He screamed in pain before the formation once again locked onto him, trapping him in place!

"Die!"

The elder didn't hold back as he almost simultaneously unleashed a second attack.

Intense, fiery crimson flames churned out of his left hand while his sword was already torturing the corpse cultivator with flames ablaze. The Peak-Level Law Sea Stage essence energy surged out before it transformed into a bright spear, shaped into a hook that possessed the talons of the Burning Phoenix!

*Vrooot!~*

It was as if a heavy crossbow was released as the spear flew and embedded itself right into the corpse cultivator's heart, blasting him into oblivion as bloodied flesh flew towards every direction, giving off a putrid stench as it was already rotten many years ago!

"Arghh!~~ Whoever you are, I will find you and kill you, refine your corpse and make it mine!"

A soul abruptly appeared from nowhere and shot towards the distance.

"You think you can escape from me!?"

The elder chuckled as he was about to signal the disciples to use another ability of the formation.

"Actually, no, you don't..." A lazy voice echoed, causing the elder to stop in his tracks from pursuing as he turned to look at the man who slapped the corpse cultivator into vertigo, allowing him to almost deal a killing blow.

Davis raised his hands and clenched. His seamless soul force surged and quickly caught up to the fleeing corpse cultivator's soul as it engulfed and made him stop!

"W-What!? This is!? L-Let me go!!!"

The corpse cultivator's hazy face became frightened as he struggled but was not able to release himself or cast a soul technique no matter how hard he tried. He was immensely pressured, unable to even lift a hazy finger of his soul body!

"You threatened me..." Davis lightly chuckled, "You really think that I would let you go?"

"Stop...!" The corpse cultivator's face was full of fright as he knew that he was doomed, "I'm from the-"

*Tukk!~*

The soul body twisted and churned before it was compressed and crushed under the immense pressure of the soul force that it popped like a balloon!

Everyone possessed a shocked look on their faces as they turned their heads towards the black-robed person who killed a Peak-Level Mature Soul Stage soul as if he was snuffing out a candle.

Davis grinned a bit as his lips turned into a satisfying curve, considering that was his first human kill as a King Soul Stage Expert!
