Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1584 - More Deaths?

This brownish-golden monstrosity’s wings stretched to about twice the size of its height, instantly covering a tiny part of the Grand Alstreim City in its reach. It also possessed four limbs under its body, and its tail stretched thirty meters long from its behind as it flailed, invoking a heavy breeze while thrashing into the nearby buildings, sending them all flying away!

Those two large wings flapped slowly but caused immense destruction before it stopped while its four big legs stepped on the ground, creating four massive craters belonging to its footprints.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim and the others had their eyes wide as they watched this dragon emerge out of nowhere.

Brownish-golden scales adorned its entire body, and its protruding chest was covered by a reddish-golden fur, stretching to the back of its neck, appearing to give it a noble look while her entire being rippled with Mid-Level Emperor Beast Stage undulations!

Its presence left him shaken before he managed to identify it by its features! The Heaven Gazing Sect and Heaven Mandate Temple’s Honorable Elders also identified that dragon’s species through its features!

An Earth Dragon!

It was an Earth Dragon that was said to have disappeared hundreds of millenniums ago!!!

Isabella looked at her Earth Dragon with a bit of melancholy.

The Earth Dragon’s scales had gone from yellowish golden to brownish golden, from its infancy to maturity. Clearly, Mira had matured, but in truth, she had matured when she entered the King Beast Stage, and now, she was already in the Emperor Beast Stage, Mid-Level Emperor Beast Stage to be exact.

"Mira, help Nadia out with the little things and coordinate with her to let me know about the forthcoming situation..."

She and Mira can maintain communication through their pact, so it could be said that it was pretty useful to relay word to Nadia through Mira if anything were to happen here and vice versa.

"I understand, mistress!~"

A charming female voice echoed with intensity as it reverberated around the Grand Alstreim City, causing them to gulp in fear even though they were taken aback. By mistress, they practically knew that the Earth Dragon was directing its speech at Isabella.

They didn’t know Isabella had a dragon at all! This practically meant that she had found an Immortal Inheritance as it was initially suspected! After all, why would there be a living yet dormant Earth Dragon in poorly kept remnant tombs that were usually designed to poorly test its lucky finders, just testing their luck most of the time?

"Mistress, please don’t be sad..."

Mira still looked at her mistress as she communicated through their pact.

She felt saddened by her mistress’s state of mind, but what could she do? She felt useless as she wasn’t powerful enough at this moment.

Isabella just smilingly nodded her head before she left towards the Purple Guest Palace.

Looking at her mistress leave, Mira’s wings drooped. She turned to look towards the little wolf that wouldn’t even compare to the size of her single eye but could feel a threatening aura from her that made her scared. Nevertheless, knowing that it was Nadia, she neared her.

"What should I do...?"

Mira asked with a low voice even though she was a massive towering Earth Dragon. Nadia ate two-thirds of the Grand Elders and turned to face Mira.

"You want some?"

Mira shook her huge dragon head, looking meek.

"Then tell me what happened while I was asleep..."

Mira nodded, beginning to talk through soul transmission while Nadia continued to eat.

On the other hand, Isabella suddenly stopped in the distance before she turned to look at Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow. Clearly, they looked as if they were going to fight to the death as they still didn’t escape. Her lips curved with a bit of care.

"Ancestor Tirea Snow. It would be best if you moved your entire Falling Snow Sect here before people can take advantage of your precarious position. There’s no retreat. We’re defending this place till death, till Davis wakes up."

Once Isabella said that through soul transmission, she turned around and left towards the Purple Guest Palace.

She understood that there is literally no escape. Once they retreat to the Grand Sea Continent, it would be difficult to come out as people would truly come to know their origin. Moreover, they couldn’t afford to retreat, not while Davis’s life looked as if it was hanging on a thread.

And after escaping to the Grand Sea Continent, would it be so easy to enter the Fifty-Two Territories again? Perhaps, a few years later, after she grew stronger, it would be easy, but if they needed any resources to help Davis recover, then they could only let him die because the Grand Sea Continent didn’t have such resources.

That’s why staying here was necessary for them to help Davis in whatever way possible.

Ancestor Tirea Snow was quite dumbfounded at Isabella’s declaration along with Ancestor Dian Alstreim. However, realizing the implications soon enough, she looked at Rosella Frostblight had commanded her to bring the entire sect here.

She had no reason to go back as she wanted to be together with Ancestor Dian Alstreim, but she couldn’t let them all die just because she could be associated with the Alstreim Family. That would make her a sinner of the Falling Snow Sect.

"Are you sure? This place is a battlefield now, you know?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim asked his wife.

"No, both of our territories are going to be battlefields. This place can be attributed to a fortified castle due to Nadia and Isabella’s presence, while my Falling Snow Sect is nothing but a defenseless village. Of course, I won’t let anyone be burdened with protecting my sect but letting them come here would definitely let them have more chances to live."

Coming to this point, Ancestor Tirea Snow bit her lips.

"Are you against it?"

"Of course not."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim shook his head while Ancestor Tirea Snow relaxed even though she knew that it should be the case.

"The problem is if these two righteous sects would still help us or not..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim looked at the Honorable Elders, who were scared shitless by Nadia and awed by Mira. Certainly, they should’ve become enemies by now, right?

"Wait here. I’ll go inquire their intentions and ask them to leave..."

"No, I’m coming too..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim didn’t say anything while Ancestor Tirea Snow followed him behind.

In the edge of the Grand Alstreim City, the four Honorable Elders regathered. The three Honorable Elders only dared to regroup with the one who aggravated the ominous wolf after knowing that it didn’t bother about them.

"What’s going on...? Why aren’t our people here yet? What’s taking so long?"

The one-armed Honorable Elder couldn’t help but look at the others with an unsightly expression.

"Actually, isn’t the Dragon Families late as well...?"

Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans narrowed his eyes in scrutiny.

"Surely, they all should’ve been here by this time but aren’t they too late?"

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse took out a messaging talisman.

"Let me check..."

There was just too much on his mind at the moment that he couldn’t be bothered to message his power, but since their powers still had not appeared, he couldn’t help but feel doubtful.

Did something happen?

As he spoke to the person on the other side of the messaging talisman while asking about the details, his expression couldn’t help but change drastically.

"What!? You’re all already in a confrontation with the Dragon Families in the Thousand Pill Palace Territory?"

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse turned to look towards the east, becoming confused while wondering what they were doing there instead of entering this Territory when he heard a certain piece of news that widened his eyes and had his jaws drop to the fullest extent.

"The entire Zlatan Family’s Powerhouses are dead!? What do you mean!?"

The other three Honorable Elders became stunned, unable to say anything other than keep their mouths agape like him.

"Uh? Not everyone but just the Low-Level and Mid-Level Overlords? Are you playing with me!? What? There’s more? You’ve received similar statements from the people sent to the places with the unusual reports...?"

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse was already trembling like crazy as his heart pounded. The other three Honorable Elders could see his arms shaking as if they went weak and limp.

"What happened?"

After the messaging talisman’s glow receded, Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans couldn’t help but ask, unaware that even his own arms were starting to tremble.

"Dead..."

"What...? What do you mean?"

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse gulped as he saw their trembling expressions that were similar to his own.

"The powerhouses from Vital Tempering Sect, Twilight Physician Hall, Weapon Refining Villa and even some powerhouses from the Flowing Mist Sect and the Dual Lotus Manor Territory. It seems they all have suddenly died for no reason..."

"You... You’re kidding..." Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans’ pupils trembled.

"They..." Honorable Elder Julian Kruse couldn’t help but gulp again, "They all have one thing in common, and that seems to be offending the Alstreim Family..."

"Furthermore, this method of killing... it seems eerily similar to..."

They looked towards the Purple Guest Palace in unison before Honorable Elder Julian Kruse subconsciously voice out.

"... the Emperor of Death."

The moment he said that... the implications shook their hearts while their hairs stood on ends.

"Don’t tell me he killed them all from such a long distance...!" Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans bellowed and flinched in fright before he shook his head, "But how can it be!? It’s not possible! He must be still alive with that mysterious double of his...!"

"No, it seemed that they all died at the same time Soul Empress Merlight and the others died, so it can’t be that he is still alive. We all saw him be taken out by his own Flame Providence Talisman..."

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse scratched that possibility out with a pale expression on his face.

"I’m... I’m shaking. I think I won’t stay here any longer..."

Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans realized that his arms were trembling while his instincts screamed for him to retreat. The other two Honorable Elders also looked similar, trembling as they heard this bullshit that they thought they would never believe.

They all never believed in superstitious stuff unless it concerned the heavens, but here they were, terrified at the fact that they couldn’t find how they were all killed. Moreover, the way he died, laughing like a madman, his eyes and forehead bursting into a blood fountain while all his seven orifices on the head bled...

What kind of calamitous technique did that Emperor of Death use? Was it from the yellow springs underworld? The silent netherworld?

They couldn’t tell as there were so many legends about these places, but everyone knew that they were all more or less made up.

However, could they still believe that they were made up now after seeing the Emperor of Death’s mysterious way of killing?

How could lives be reaped so silently at the same time in different places!? This made them experience goosebumps and also attribute this to the Calamity Light, making them feel that the era was definitely changing.

That ominous wolf leisurely eating many corpses of the peak powerhouses just made it worse!

"Honorable Elders, I’m going to have to ask you to leave if you aren’t going to help us."

At this moment, Ancestor Dian Alstreim arrived in front of them, maintaining a distance of a few kilometers as he spoke out loud.

"...!?"

It caused them to flinch in fright, all of them turning to look at Ancestor Dian Alstreim at the same time with pale expressions on their face.

"...!?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim also became taken aback.

Was Nadia so terrifying to them? Indeed, if he was in their situation, he would feel fear encroach on his heart as well.

He nodded in understanding and was about to speak again when he heard their voice.

"You know what.. our stance hasn’t changed. We’re going to help you, but we’re going back now to confirm some information. Have a good day..."

Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans forced a smile as he grabbed Honorable Elder Julian Kruse, turned around, and flew away. The other two also left without saying anything, causing Ancestor Dian Alstreim to blink thrice.

What... what the hell just happened?

Ancestor Tirea Snow also looked dumbfounded. Why did it look like they were running away?

However... little did they know that no powers dared to enter the Alstreim Family Territory at this moment due to the mystery surrounding the multitudes of unexplained deaths befallen on many powers that offended the Alstreim Family!
