Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2828 Incredible Prowess

"Let's find out."

Youil went into posturing as he held both his hands, as cyan light started emerging around him, covering him in a sublime aura. His white robe fluttered with folds appearing as the wind picked up around him, each movement bringing for a new wave of ethereal handsomeness.

Despite his delicate appearance, his sharp facial features left people feeling that he was a man who could not be messed with. At the same time, his billowing aura that unfolded outside the battle stage caused many to feel constricted and shudder as though they felt time slow down in their vision before the barrier suddenly came up, allowing them to take a breather.

*Whoosh!~*

As Youil launched himself at the giant, he began to strike out with bursts of cyan energy, concentrated rays of soul force slamming into his opponent's body, right at his forehead. But to the amazement of the crowd, the massive man simply stood there, taking the hits with no visible signs of damage.

It was like the second coming of Mo Tian, or rather, it was better to say that Mo Tian imitated Gawain as the latter should be millions of years old when considering the time that had passed in their world.

"Now that's the battle I was asking for...!"

"Could it be that we will be able to witness the fabled Divine Techniques of these powers!?"

"What? Would they dare to use it while being witnessed by so many people!?"

Many people began to feel excited as they felt that they might be able to use Divine Techniques only capable of being used by Immortal Kings, while some just learned what Divine Techniques are as they heard from their peers.

But as the attacks continued, the shortwaves began to grow in intensity, causing the battle arena's barrier to tremble and strain under the force.

The battle was so intense that it had the crowd standing on their toes to look at the battle more clearly. But still, they could see that the turtle fey giant remained unshaken, standing firm against the cyan spirit attacks that was hurled like spears.

Even if they were far away, they could witness Youil's expression, frustrated by his lack of progress, begin to increase the frequency and power of his attacks. But it was no use - the giant seemed to be impervious to the little rat's assaults.

"Take this!"

Swiftly, with a roar of frustration, Youil launched himself at the giant with all his might, pouring every ounce of his cyan energy into a single, devastating blow.

*Boom!~*

The impact was like a thunderbolt, shaking the entire arena to its foundations as cyan light covered the arena. The people who were looking at this scene felt their hearts sink as they felt their own sense of time slowing down, causing them to look away hurriedly as they panicked.

But when the dust cleared, Gawain was still standing, his body unscathed.

"Raargh!!!"

With a snarl of anger, a giant black turtle manifested behind him as he charged forward, his massive fists slamming into the man with the smaller stature with crushing force.

*Boom!~*

The stage cracked, and countless pieces of rubble flew everywhere as space rumbled and cracked, causing even the palace to shake from the impact.

"...!"

The crowd was instantly frightened at this scene.

However, everyone merely saw a cyan light flickering and fading before it manifested right where Gawain had launched himself from.

"You're too slow to attack me."

"And you don't have enough energy to even cause me harm. You can't delay my senses without breaking my obsidian crystal first."

Gawain tapped a diamond-shaped obsidian crystal on his forehead and heartily laughed. This crystal provided him with a greater defense as some effects that would directly influence his soul wouldn't be able to get past it, and even some karmic attacks met the same fate.

On the other hand, Youil almost gnarled wildly as he couldn't believe that his match-up was so against him in almost every aspect.

He knew that standing before him was a fey from the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Clan, not to mention an immortal inheritor. However, this person had cultivated in a manner that made his body and soul almost impenetrable because of receiving a mutated bloodline from a variant Obsidian Crystal Turtle Immortal Master that excelled in soul defense.

Even Davis seemed a bit taken aback by the absolute defense this giant had shown. After all, he imagined that even a peak Level Two Immortal Emperor wouldn't be able to break this dual defense easily.

Indeed, unlike Raelzar from the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan, who had to sacrifice his physical prowess to awaken his soul prowess, this monster on the battle stage was insurmountable in all three cultivations. However, the only weakness that Gawain had was that he was too slow, like a turtle, but even that was only relative as he could easily thrash someone at the same cultivation base as him.

Everyone could see this as Gawain was incredibly fast in their eyes despite Youil claiming that he was slow.

Nonetheless, as the two men stared at each other, one of the two men's eyes flickered before they harrumphed and left.

"...!"

Everyone was shocked to see Youil leaving the battle stage.

"Our Cyan Soul Rat Clan would like to surrender."

The Cyan Soul Rat's Patriarch enunciated as he stood up, causing the referee to blink before he looked at Youil. However, with only a stare from Youil, he gulped and waved open the barrier, declaring the winner.

"Winner, Gawain of the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Clan."

Gawain appeared a bit taken aback as he expected more from Youil.

"Sigh, it seems like the Cyan Soul Rat Clan doesn't want its trump cards revealed like everyone else."

He shook his head, leaving but was blocked by a person.

"Thank you for your work. I'll take over from now on."

The Zyrus Family Patriarch nodded towards the arbitrator as he flew into the battle stage, looking favorably upon Gawain before sending him out. Even he had to admit that he wasn't a match for these immortal inheritors who were ridiculously powerful, making him feel a bit out of place, even old.

He imagined that even the Starlight Jade Wolf King wasn't a match for Gawain.

Nonetheless, he turned to look towards the crowd and smiled.

"Everyone, the six battle segments have come to an end, and the votes will be finalized in a day. At the end of this banquet, the one who is going to lead us for the next hundred years will be declared, so in the meantime, please enjoy what my Grand Zyrus City has to offer."

The leaders of the twenty-six powers couldn't help but appear solemn as they knew it was time to purchase as many votes as they could from others! That's why the leader of this alliance wasn't declared now, as the influence dynamics could change entirely.

But with segments having come to an end, they knew each of these votes was going to cost them a fortune.

The Cyan Soul Rat Clan's Patriarch particularly looked indifferent. However, little did everyone know that he was holding back intense rage, staring at the Starlight Jade Wolf King, who displayed a middle finger to him with a sleazy smile.

On the side, Davis looked a bit sullen as he had been a bit excited to see a Divine Technique at the very least, but the immortal inheritors were scheming and more cunning than each other, proving that they were leaders specimens to him.

'Well, this just means that I have to learn and use Divine Techniques by myself...'

Davis couldn't help but smirk as he had made immense progress in comprehending what his master Deathseeker had given him. However, he knew he wasn't ready to use them as there was a restriction placed on everyone by the heavens, but because he had the Immortal King's level of comprehension ability, Divine Techniques of the death attribute were comprehensible to him.

'Now then... it's time to latch onto the Golden Crow Clan's thighs, and for that...'

Davis stood up and walked over to the Golden Crow Clan's place, standing before a person.

"How have you been, Shea Goldsun?"

"..."

Shea Goldsun went stunned as her expression became blank.

Davis lowered his body and sat as he became seated beside her.

'Sorry, I'm going to have to use you a bit to get to the main banquet...'

He inwardly said, heaving out a difficult sigh as he smiled at her while numerous mouths went agape as they couldn't believe that Mo Tian was interested in this seemingly weak nobody!
