Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2800  Tumultuous Atmosphere

The Zyrus Family people couldn't help but tremble at this notion as they knew that the Dynastic Evernight Phantasm Tribe didn't lowball the value of the Mystic Moonshadow Cloud. In fact, they even matched it on the notion that it would become an Immortal King Spirit!

Even Yilla Zyrus was shaken, feeling that it was practically a given that anyone in her family who obtained this spirit core would become an Immortal Emperor without a doubt, and a strong one at that, as their souls would promote their bloodline prowess further.

She stared at Tribe Lord Sekan Evernight with a glare as she felt threatened. Even in her mind, this was really enough to consider this deal because it was of good value.

"Only one spirit core of that grade? That wouldn't do. There should at least be one more for us to even consider."

"You-"

A Zyrus Family Elder spoke up, causing Yilla Zyrus to point at that Elder in shock, but the others stopped her by telling her to pause with their raised hands, causing her to feel furious as her bosoms heaved.

Tribe Lord Sekan Evernight frowned. However, he still looked away and spoke with his Elders and Patriarch through soul transmission, dumbfounding the Zyrus Family people as they never thought the other party would actually start considering it. Instantly, a greedy light flashed in their eyes, causing them to turn to look at their Patriarch as they began to advise him.

The Zyrus Family Patriarch, Yinakin Zyrus, heard the Elders' advice. In truth, he was also wondering what decision to make as this deal seemed to be of many benefits to his power.

Although the Mystic Moonshadow Cloud would grow into a more powerful being than any geniuses they would possess, it was not clear if Yilla Zyrus could control it. Moreover, even if Yilla Zyrus could control the Mystic Moonshadow Cloud, he was clear that it would take an enormous amount of resources to allow it to grow to the Immortal Emperor Stage, and any further would depend on Yilla Zyrus herself.

Moreover, it was also unknown if they would be able to protect her or allow her to grow safely, as there was a high chance someone could hire assassins to kill her and the Mystic Moonshadow Cloud, leaving them with nothing in the end.

If it was a normal era, he would've chosen to keep the Mystic Moonshadow Cloud anytime, but in these perilous times where it was important they solidify their top pillars from collapsing and look at the overall situation instead of focusing on individuals, the deal that the Dynastic Evernight Phantasm Spirit Tribe put forward seemed like a naked woman of untold beauty he couldn't resist, causing his expression to churn as he found himself unable to make a decision.

With more and more pressure falling on him from the Elders, he felt that he couldn't entirely shut them down either, as they were right in what they were proposing to him.

Taking a deep breath, Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus opened his mouth.

"Tribe Lord Sekan Evernight, if you want the Mystic Moonshadow Cloud Spirit, you must present us with one Mid Stage Immortal Emperor Grade Spirit Core and three Early Stage Immortal Emperor Grade Spirit Cores."

"What!? That's going too far."

A Dynastic Evernight Phantasm Spirit Tribe's Elder yelled, appearing to be incensed that they would ask such a high price that it seemed like a rip-off instead.

"Is that so? We will not accept any lower offers, so let's end the negotiation here."

Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus cut them short, leaving the Dynastic Evernight Phantasm Spirit Tribe dumbfounded.

*Swoooshhh~~~*

Abruptly, the wind began to pick up, causing many heads to turn as they saw the dark clouds spin faster, creating many wind currents to form underneath. Such a chilling sight was enough to cause any new immortal to scram. However, they who had already experienced these kinds of tribulations only looked on with awe and respect in their hearts, knowing that the Heavenly Wind Tribulation was going to descend.

Indeed, Davis also recognized this tribulation, even wanting to head over and plunder some heavenly winds at this moment.

By his side, Panqa and Lanqua also explained some intricacies of the Immortal King Heavenly Tribulation.

No matter the race, there was a one-minute interval between the three strikes of Heavenly Lightning Tribulation and Heavenly Wind Tribulation that will try to cut the tribulation undergoer with nine strikes. Altogether, there were twelve strikes in the Immortal King Heavenly Tribulation, but for certain races, there could be more intricacies or different tribulations involved.

For example, the phoenix race still received a Heart Demon Tribulation, which put them in a precarious position than the other races as they have to undergo the Heart Demon Tribulation, Heavenly Lightning Tribulation, and Heavenly Wind Tribulation consecutively.

Davis understood this perfectly as he had witnessed different kinds of tribulations, ranging from Tia's to Nadia's, and even his own tribulation that was completely annihilating in nature. For this Mystic Moonshadow Cloud, he could also see that its Immortal King Tribulation was less tyrannical in nature, causing him to wryly smile as it was really the case of a biased parent.

Nonetheless, in this harmless yet tumultuous atmosphere, he turned to glance at Yilla Zyrus.

She appeared to be at a loss, unable to believe that her family would make a deal with others using her property without consulting her in the first place.

'The disadvantages of being in a power… made to sacrifice for the betterment of the group...'

He was also listening to their negotiation as he was intrigued, and even he had to admit what the Dynastic Evernight Phantasm Spirit Tribe was offered was a sweet deal, but the Zyrus Family went ahead and put a price on it without consulting the owner of the Mystic Moonshadow Cloud at all that he couldn't help but find this matter somewhat amusing and pitiful at the same time.

He inwardly shook his head, committing to his memory not to do these types of things to his family.

Soon, Davis no longer bothered as he returned his gaze to witness the Heavenly Wind Tribulation, except before anyone could see anything, a wind blade was already upon the Mystic Moonshadow Cloud, cutting through the air without even making a whistling sound, silently and deadlier than anything he had ever seen.

*Puchi!~*

A part of the cloudy body was severed by the heavenly wind blade, causing Yilla Zyrus to react.

"Darkshade, start using your energy already!~"

Her scream echoed throughout the region, causing the Mystic Moonshadow Cloud to finally brim with boundless darkness energy.

"An assassin!~"

At the same time, an Immortal King assassin made a move and took the life of a provincial power's *Poof!~*

Darkness cemented the atmosphere within the inner hall, creating a dark domain of unknown nature. Because they were viewing it from the projections as they were already outside, not much could be seen properly.

However, they could tell that it stopped the tumultuous winds from affecting its balance and even stopped the remnant heavenly wind energy from shredding it apart.

Its undulations climbed to a height five levels higher, continuously receiving the heavenly wind blades every three seconds.

*Ripp!~* *Ripp!~* *Ripp!~*

The heavenly wind blades kept cutting through the darkness domain, but it was unknown what was happening inside, causing many to look at it curiously.

*Ripp!~*

"What the…!"

"An assassin!~"

At the same time, an Immortal King assassin made a move and took the life of a provincial power's Young Master, causing that provincial power to react.

"Stop him!"

However, the situation was too chaotic, and the tyrannical aura of the heavens covered the area, rendering them unable to use their senses properly and allow the Immortal King assassin to escape.

"Help! The second-in-line for the Young Master position of the Lumin Family is also dead..."

"The Golden Crow Clan Patriarch's wife is poisoned…!"

Hearing all the sudden cries for help, the Zyrus Family Patriarch's expression became furious as he broke a jade talisman in his grasp.

"Everyone, stay your hand. Don't move from where you stand, or don't blame this old man for making a ruthless move against you."

"…!"

Abruptly, the aura of an Immortal Emperor surged down like a tsunami along with a heavy voice, causing every soul within its range to come to a halt and even the ones in the vicinity to freeze over in reverence.

Everyone was shocked that an Immortal Emperor of the Zyrus Family showed up, making them shocked as it was said that an Immortal Emperor wouldn't interfere in this event but, at the same time, allowed them to feel safe from the assassins' onslaught.

With everyone coming to a stop, a few assassins who were trying to escape amidst the chaos suddenly became visible.

"Die!~"

Abruptly, those assassins all shook and turned into a dark goo that dropped on the ground, appearing like their entire beings were corroded out of existence.
