Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 704 Disguised

Alexi Ethren’s expression changed. His fists subconsciously clenched as veins erupted on his forehead. He closed his eyes as he knew that it should more or less be like this, otherwise, there was no need for his master to be this bent on vengeance against this bastard father.

He also recognized that the time frame they met was coincidental with the time when Kaiser Ethren said to have gone crazy and berserk to engage in female infanticide.

’Another case of female infanticide, huh? Did that old bastard kill Master’s only child? Was their child, a daughter?’

He couldn’t help but feel pity and angry.

’Master is near the ending of her lifespan and she can finally have her revenge. This should be the best-case scenario I could present before her life ends and my secret technique fades away...’

’Honestly, my vitality is dropping by the second... If I keep it up anymore, it will lead to unresolvable consequences!’

Alexi Ethren mused and yelled as his eyes shot wide open.

"Insolent!"

"Beg my master for forgiveness, and perhaps, I can grant you a painless death!"

"Hahaha!" Kaiser Ethren mockingly laughed, "Master? Hilarious!"

"You’re a motherless child indeed... But I can see that she took steps to not let you discover..."

"Laughable... truly laughable indeed..."

"Hahaha!"

Kaiser Ethren seemed to have the time of his life despite being in a miserable situation. Its purpose was unknown but it served to succeed in further aggravating Alexi Ethren as his expression became ugly.

"What do you mean!?" Alexi Ethren gritted his teeth as the articulated his words. He brought up the core of the array in his hands and waved his hand as if he were going to activate it.

Kaiser Ethren’s expression slightly changed as he noticed that he was going to be roasted again. He smiled eerily and opened his mouth, "Your master is..."

"Enough!"

Tenacious winds suddenly entwined around Arianna, causing her black robes to flutter as her voice traveled towards the trapped scum. It caused Kaiser Ethren to be startled as he turned to look at her.

The tenacious winds and around her flew into her palm and condensed into a single curved blade! Kaiser Ethren’s expression changed as he instinctively felt that he was going to be beheaded.

However, for that short moment of time, he momentarily became dumbfounded as he felt those Law Sea Stage undulations from Arianna!

*Whoosh!~*

Kaiser Ethren’s pupils abruptly dilated. That short moment proved to be fatal as Arianna instantly closed the distance between them.

Kaiser Ethren saw her vengeful eyes and the crazed smile on her lips! He instantly shot towards the back as his entire body shook, further aggravating his injuries as blood enormously spurted from his wounds.

"Argh!!! Arianna! Forgive me!!! It was wrong of me to take Alexi away from you!"

"Forgive me!!!!!!"

His scalp turned numb as he finally begged for his life!

However, for Alexi Ethren, it was as if he received a lightning bolt straight to his mind. His expression became aghast as he lifted the core.

Instantly, flames from the array spread as it trapped Kaiser Ethren from running away!

It seemed that Kaiser Ethren had seen through one of the paths he could exploit, only to be trapped again but the flames that blocked him from escaping, blocked Arianna from beheading him as well.

"You! Alexi! Quickly remove these flames from my path!" Arianna turned to look at Alexi as she bellowed.

Her shout almost gained her what she wanted as Alexi Ethren subconsciously gave weight to his master’s words, however, when he thought about what this bastard of a father said, his expression couldn’t help but continually change!

From hesitation to the reluctance to believe... It was all etched over his face!

"Alexi! What are you doing!??" Arianna echoed as her brows twitched once again.

"Father! The words you meant!" Alexi Ethren trembled as he asked.

"Is it true!?"

Kaiser Ethren heaved a sigh as he saw that his traitorous child had subsequently saved him. He narrowed his eyes and secretly bide his time. Although he didn’t know what was going on, he knew that Arianna’s surge in cultivation base should be a sacrifice of some sort, the same as the usage of a secret technique.

He could feel it too, her vitality becoming lower and fainter as if it were threatening to fade out of existence.

"Old Fart! Answer me!" Alexi Ethren bellowed and shook the core in his palm.

Flames instantly erupted as it flew towards Kaiser Ethren.

"Stop!!! She’s your mother! Arianna is your mother!"

Alexi Ethren became pale as he stopped the flames from burning his father alive. He abruptly moved his head to look at his master who seemed to hold her chest in pain as her brows arched.

Arianna couldn’t hold it any longer. She spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed as she started to descend from the skies. Her undulations that were blazing at the Law Sea Stage unstably receded and fell all the way to the Body Transformation Stage!

Her cultivation base still turned out to be unstable, however, Alexi Ethren didn’t care anymore! He instantly shot towards his master and scooped her up in his arms as he held her!

Arianna once again spat a mouthful of blood right at Alexi Ethren’s face in her weakness, making him look blood red, however, the latter seemed to pay no mind to it as his lips trembled.

"M-mother?"

Arianna’s eyes seem to greatly tremble at the mention of that single word. A ripple flashed across her pupils as she slightly shook her head.

Alexi Ethren looked at the woman whom he thought to be dead, his mother. It was a well-known fact that she was dead, at least, that is what Kaiser Ethren said after his legitimacy was asked into question.

That he had been given birth by a noblewoman of another land, only for that noblewoman to later die of an unfortunate incident after childbirth.

Everyone seemed to believe that statement since the Emperor never seemed to father sons at that time. Instead, the suspicion was cast on him, whether if he were really the Emperor’s child.

He and Kaiser Ethren had been tested in the Bloodline Chamber of the Ethren Empire before finally being dissolved of that suspicion. However, after this, everyone excluded him since he had no backing and was motherless.

The maids who also took care of him more or less abused him, and instead of making a mistake at a young age like seeking justice in a cold and ruthless environment, after reaching the Revolving Core Stage, he ran away and exiled himself from the Empire.

He had faced many life and death battles, coming out on top of every battle until the last one where he had been saved by this woman whom he now held in his arms, his master!

But now, he couldn’t believe that the woman he recognized as his master is his mother!

He still couldn’t get out of his shock as his face remained pale!

"A-Are you r-really my mother?"

Among the gazes of the onlookers who all gasped from the revelation, Alexi Ethren finally had the energy to repeat the question.

Arianna’s big bosoms heaved as she gasped for breath. She shook her head and was about to stand up, struggling in the process, however, a strong yet trembling hand grasped her wrist.

"Mother?" Alexi Ethren solemnly called out as he held her.

Arianna’s eyes trembled again as she looked at the man in front of her. Her head inclined to the left before it almost moved to the right, however, she moved her head up and down, nodding to his words as tears flooded out of her eyes.

Alexi Ethren’s pupils shook the same while his mother cried. He projected his senses to her face and saw that it was, disguised! She possessed a similar facial feature to him. He recognized that the shape of his eyes and the curve of her nose were almost exactly the same as his!
