Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2402 Void Dust Secret Realm

Davis and Rayleigh walked to the forefront as they passed through the crowd, their pupils reflecting the scene of a rogue cultivator arguing with someone from the Zyrus Family.

Davis had no recognition of the former but remembered the latter as he was present in Klein Zyrus's entourage. His strength also didn't seem ordinary and at least felt as strong as four levels higher. It was not surprising since Klein Zyrus could rise five levels above, so it was a given that his subordinates wouldn't be far off.

However, Davis finally came to understand the wonder of ancestral bloodline as he was this close, quickly allowing him to know what kind of danger the other party possessed.

The Zyrus Family cultivator's blood was strangely heavy, even darkening the space around him ever so lightly.

It made Davis think of the power of blood which Schleya said was in all beings but remained untapped.

Understanding her words more now, he came to understand that it boosted their strengths, making them even stronger than a cultivator of equal uniqueness, and hence, he could feel that this person before him could even have a prowess that would surge five levels higher for a short time if he deigned to sacrifice his blood essence.

Nonetheless, it appeared like this Zyrus Family's cultivator remained here alone but for what reason?

"What are you shouting for? This is a secret realm of my Zyrus Family. Obediently pay up a thousand immortal crystals or get hurt. Choose whichever one you want to face."

"…"

That rogue cultivator clenched his teeth before he took out a big chunk of immortal crystals and passed them to the Zyrus Family's cultivator before the latter let him pass. Quickly, that rogue cultivator disappeared from this location.

The other cultivators also grudgingly handed over a thousand immortal crystals each and strode forward, their pace fastening without looking back.

After all, time was extremely important in this region as it was said to be open only for nine days, not to mention that if they were late, the treasures and comprehension opportunities would disappear like the night when dawn visits.

"Is this legal?"

But when it was finally Davis's turn, he couldn't help but ask.

"It's not. However, what are you going to do about it?"

The Zyrus Family's cultivator sneered, his long face turning into one of mocking as he looked like he was having fun.

"Gosh, you're gonna die for spare change?"

"You brat-"

Before the Zyrus Family's cultivator could, Davis sent a thousand immortal crystals and unceremoniously left, causing the path blocker to become stunned before he harrumphed as he gazed at the leaving Davis.

"Hmph! I'll take care of you later. Next!"

He continued to extort the cultivators while Davis didn't look back and left.

He calculated the amount this extortionist would gain upon extorting the thousands of cultivators present here and came to a number that was more than a million immortal crystals, which was truly big but was now some spare change in his eyes.

Rayleigh passed next, sighing that he had to give up what Mo Tian had just given him when sharing information before quickly catching up with Mo Tian before he could leave.

However, the next person appeared to have determined eyes and a pile of dirt in his hand. His hand flung in an arc as though he was going to flick out the immortal crystals when it was not the case.

"Fuck you!"

"Ah! My eyes!!!"

A pig-slaughtering scream echoed throughout the starry region, causing Davis to be stunned. When he turned to look around, a figure rushed past him like the wind, causing him to catch sight of another unknown genius whose prowess reached as much as four levels higher.

"Don't any of you dare move, or I swear upon the name of my family that I'll have your heads!"

However, Davis swiveled his head to look at the incoming figure, whose eyes appeared bloodshot.

Davis wanted no part of his as he had a clean assassination to make, so he stayed at his location, but his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

"Mo Tian, watch out!"

Rayleigh's scream echoed from the side as he retreated. However, Davis stayed in his position like a statue, awaiting a strike.

"Die!"

Darkness energy exploded out of Klein Zyrus's subordinate as he unleashed a palm, specks of dark illuminating spheres at his five fingers and a sixth appearing at the center of his palm. Together, the dark energy extended into many waves of sinister dark stream, trickling into every direction of the area as they engulfed Davis into a dark quagmire of corruption.

The next moment, the aggressor didn't even cast a glance and continued forward, chasing the opponent who threw dirt into his eyes. His eyes were affixed to the front, his senses constantly tracing the way the wind aura passed through.

On the other hand, Rayleigh was shocked, unable to believe that Mo Tian was killed just like that. Why didn't he move?

However, his pupils couldn't help but dilate as though he saw a ghost.

In the distance, Klein Zyrus's subordinate couldn't help but smile as he caught sight of his target. But abruptly, he felt something get hold of his head, causing his pupils to dilate.

"I thought you were going to die of extorting some spare change from the daring and young cultivators but who would've thought you actually had the gall to attack me."

"Wai-"

He didn't even have time to say anything as he was mowed down against his will to the ground, his head bursting into a bloody mess. At the same time, his souk was locked in by some invisible force, causing him to die in an instant, left with a headless body.

"…"

Rayleigh saw Mo Tian place his two feet on the ground, dust his hands, plunder his kill's spatial ring and rush towards the distance. The two seconds that passed from the start of the aggression to the end made no sense to him.

What exactly did he sense from Mo Tian? Nothing… no aura from any attribute that he could discover, and yet the prowess Mo Tian revealed had him reeling in shock.

"Wa- Wait for me!"

But quickly, he came out of his reverie and began to follow, his legs bolting off into the skies as he turned into a ray of light that sped towards the distance.

=======

In the far distance, space was cut into many divisions, and even the surface had particular crevices that appeared like an abyss. Perhaps, if one fell, they would forever be lost within.

In that same location was a steep path leading towards the other end, but each step people took here took them immense effort, draining them of their soul force.

However, a group of five people in the forefront stopped as their eyes narrowed. They all took out a piece of crystal that cracked and shattered into thousands of shards.

"Setas died." A black-robed man uttered with calm eyes, causing another similar-robed man to nod.

"As expected. No distress signals, warnings, or bursts of undulations could be felt in this area. Only assassins could possibly kill him in this way."

"Now that we confirmed the existence of assassins, it's time to strike back. Leave no rogue cultivator alive if they near us." Klein Zyrus's lips curved into a mocking smile.

"The Ghost Tear Hall, Soulsteal Pearl Temple, and Oracular Reaver Abode sure do look down on us to be thinking that they can kill us now that we're without bodyguards. However, be careful. Assassins aren't the problem, as they could also be here to target these fools as well. What we have to be careful of is the Darkflame Tribe's Jairen and Goldvein Clan's Kain."

"The top geniuses of the Dark Void Flame Spirit and the Goldlust Rat?" One of the subordinates couldn't help but ask.

"Yes. If I'm not wrong, those two are here to mutate their asses, unlike the others who simply want to comprehend Space Laws from the final treasure, so the amount of resistance we will face from those two at the end would surmount the pressure that the others put on us."

"We will guard Young Master with our lives!" The four of them chorously echoed, causing Klein Zyrus to smile as he raised his fist, his voice trembling.

"I must… have the Void Dust Tree Fruit! Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to mutate my Supreme Immortal Sigil and perfect my Ghastly Cloud Physique more to increase into revealing its minor spatial nature! Then, I will be on the right path to become the greatest Zyrus to have ever lived as long as I make it to the Immortal Emperor Stage!"

"Yes!"

Although the subordinates seemed to have no idea what a mutated Supreme Immortal Sigil is, they unwittingly became emotional, their eyes seemingly reveling in worship as they looked at Klein Zyrus, their bloodlines also heavily resonating with him since their bloodlines were actually condensed from an Immortal Emperor who possessed the Ghastly Cloud Physique.
