Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 437 A New Life

"If only Leader Daniuis didn’t..." Someone in their group uttered but an angry cry shut them up.

"Shut your mouth!" Lucia angrily glared at the person who spoke, a feeling of disgust welled up within her. Her eyebrows were narrowed in rage.

They rely on her father when he’s at the top, leading the Cloud Spring Mercenaries to reign as the Mercenary King but change their tune when he’s down? Is there such a good thing in the world?

Like the person who spoke, she had seen many people betray their mercenary group in the face of danger, maybe for the benefits or for their survival.

She came to hold a deep amount of hatred and disgust for these people no matter what their reason maybe. They had made their choice and she made hers, even staining her hands with their blood.

A few years back, Lucia thought her future would be bright, filled with adventure while going east to join the Falling Snow Sect, yet she didn’t think the Tripartite Alliance would make a move on them, leading to this plight.

What was the exact cause for them to make a move at an irregular time?

It was because of her father, Daniuis.

Her father tried to breakthrough into the Law Sea Stage, the Eight Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation but failed. Not only did he fail to have a breakthrough but the resulting backlash from the failure of breaking through struck him, lowering his strength to a wide degree.

The Tripartite Alliance saw an opportunity and so did Jawan. As a result, they collectively made a move on the Cloud Spring Mercenaries, managing to topple it in a single strike.

The end result was that the members of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries were either forced to disband, be killed, or conceal themselves from the eyes of the Tripartite Alliance.

Even the leader of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries hid along with his family and secluded himself to regain back his strength.

However, their hiding place was found and targeted by the Seventh Stage Experts of the Tripartite Alliance, which led her father to stay behind so as to let them escape.

Their unity was broken and they were forced to escape and separate as they inwardly hoped for their father to escape.

Thankfully, their hopeful wishes were heard by the heavens and their father managed to escape from the Seventh Stage Cultivators of the Tripartite Alliance.

However, the price her father had to pay for that was huge, which was none other than a pit, a downward spiral in his cultivation base.

Cloud Spring Mercenary’s Leader Daniuis’s cultivation repeatedly took a hit and his cultivation base dropped to the point where he was only powerful enough to face the newly advanced Jawan to a standstill.

His once-powerful cultivation was no more, forcing himself to hide again.

"Father must not know of this matter no matter what, otherwise, he will instantly head into the enemy’s hands to rescue Lucas." Lucia took a deep breath as she spoke but her eyes were dull.

"But..." Nina spoke as her lips trembled.

"My father is our only hope, do you want him to die as well?" Lucia spoke as she bit her lips.

"And even if my father goes to rescue Lucas, chances are there is a death trap laid for him. We will all die..."

Nina became stunned.

That’s right! Even if Daniuis went to save Lucas, the result would be the same.

Her expression turned gloomy but she kept a smile on her face as tears threatened to drop down of her eyes.

She kept her hands on her tummy and spoke to herself as her voice trembled, "It will turn out fine, I have Lucas’s child... He will not die..."

Lucia turned stunned as her expression became dazed.

What!? Lucas’s child?

The last time they met with Lucas’s group was about a month ago...

Lucia’s arms trembled as she stretched her hands slowly to hold Nina’s hands. She opened her mouth to speak but no words came out as she tried numerous times.

A moment later, tears cascaded down her eyes as she broke down while only a few words left her mouth carrying boundless grief, "Yes, he will..."

However, she no longer knew what to do anymore as immense sorrow threatened to break her will.

======

Theo Inn, Luxurious Room 6.

Davis and Evelynn returned to their room once they finished their meal, however, Davis looked like he was preoccupied with something.

Nevertheless, Evelynn knew that he was precisely overhearing the conversation of the people downstairs. The conversation that happened between Lucia’s group.

So she stayed silent and didn’t nudge him for information or disturb him.

A few minutes passed and Davis finally turned to look at her.

"What happened?" She finally asked, her face laden with curiosity.

Davis sighed and proceeded to explain whatever he was able to infer from their short conversation.

Evelynn’s expression slowly changed and sympathy was visible in her eyes.

"Did they leave?"

"... They left the Inn, probably heading towards the place where Lucas is being kept captive, the capital of Loseris Kingdom." Davis answered as this was the last information he overheard from them.

Evelynn nodded her head in understanding and after she heard what he had to say, she thought for a moment before speaking, "You told me before that Lucia’s mother saved you from a magical beast before? If so, isn’t it only natural for us to repay her goodwill?"

Davis nodded his head earnestly, "I believe in karma more or less..."

Evelynn’s face blossomed into a smile. Her curved lips indicated that she was happy with his decision.

What Davis said wasn’t just some blind faith but he had already achieved elementary proficiency in Karma Laws and comprehended how it vaguely worked, connecting people and their fates.

Normally, people who train in Karma Laws will only be able to peer through persons with the help of their comprehension in Karma Laws, however, due to the interference of an abstract will or disturbance, they will not be able to glance or perceive at it clearly.

However, with Fallen Heaven in his arsenal, Davis was precisely able to do that. He was able to peer through a person’s fate; as a basic example, their lifespan.

With his Death God Eyes, he will always be able to know the end of a random person in the form of a thread as long as they weren’t stronger than him in Soul Forging Cultivation.

With him comprehending Karma Laws to top that, he believed that he can even become a Mystic Diviner if he is able to comprehend Space and Time Laws and achieve a bit of fusion with Karma Laws.

"Nevertheless, if I made a move, then the others who are traveling with us will be inconvenienced, and I can only deal with those Seventh Stage Cultivators with the help of Princess Isabella." Davis smiled wryly.

He didn’t want to place the group in jeopardy, however, his eyes flashed with a hint of confidence.

Seventh Stage Cultivators? It was true that he couldn’t handle them with his own prowess, but what if he used Fallen Heaven? It would be child’s play for him to kill them, as easy as throwing the trash to the dustbin.

Tripartite Alliance Territory only had experts who were till the Peak of the Seventh Stage due to the restriction that was imposed by the three neighboring territories. Even if an enemy who is able to circumvent the prowess of Fallen Heaven shows up, he believed that he would be still able to take care of them unless the difference in cultivation was too large!

Soul Essence...

Fallen Heaven once said that it could devour a certain amount of his Soul Essence to obtain an increase in its prowess! He still had a trump card in his sleeve on top of normally using Fallen Heaven!
