Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1940 - Scenery Change

Chapter 1940 - Scenery Change

Davis couldn’t help but chuckle at Schleya’s words. She still hadn’t changed from her stubborn self, acting cold.

Schleya cast a look at the crowd before she spoke again.

"My ways remain the same. I’ve never killed anyone innocent, but if someone were to offend me, I’d deal with them in the way the wicked path deals, ruthless and swift. I don’t have the patience or the hypocrisy to be dealing with matters that require killing to be dealt with through sophistry. If you are my enemy, I will seek to cut you down until I rest."

Everyone became flabbergasted by her explanation.

"Emperor of Death, she’s clearly not a part of us."

"Did I say that she was?"

"..."

Welch Regalanius and the people became flabbergasted.

Davis scoffed before his lips moved once again, intending to ask when he became a part of the righteous path, but knowing that his women were agreeable with the righteous path and would like to be associated with it rather than the wicked path, he shook his head.

"Schleya acts differently from the wicked path that we know. Her set of morals is similar to mine, so I don’t see the need to associate her with the wicked path either. She’s a part of my power. Besides, if I deem someone my enemy, I’m going to kill them regardless of their motives and circumstances. Could it be obtaining justice for yourself is deemed evil?"

"Of course not, but-" Welch Regalanius shook his head when suddenly an authoritative voice interrupted.

"Welch, you need to learn more about the ways of the world."

He turned to look at the source, becoming restrained.

Everyone saw that it was the Mandate Emperor. However, only a certain few knew that the Mandate Emperor was addressing his seventh and youngest son.

Regalanius was Mandate Emperor’s name. Moreover, he was an orphan, so he also had no family name, so nobody knew of this information except a select few.

"If Schleya has not killed innocents, then she truly is not a part of the wicked path. The Karmic Guardian Emperor also said that she has no karmic sin on her and has no signs of hiding it. Therefore, you don’t need to bicker with her about this matter."

"Fine..."

In the end, Welch Regalanius could only give up on confronting Schleya.

The Mandate Emperor nodded his head in satisfaction. He knew that his son wanted to maintain righteousness according to his teachings but to be going against the Emperor of Death, that would be playing with fire. One should not go there without preparing themselves to be burned.

Since his son shut up immediately after he spoke, it could be seen that he did not have that kind of determination.

Although it was disappointing, it was better than courting death, so he was satisfied with that display.

On the other hand, the Vast Sky Emperor had a cold look on his face, contemplating the Emperor of Death’s words.

If he deems someone his enemy, he was going to kill them regardless of their motives and circumstances? Was that supposed to be pointed towards him?

He inwardly gnashed his teeth in anger. Ever since he had appeared here, he was suppressed, again and again, making him feel enraged. Even his allies who had not raised their tone against him had their fangs revealed now. Moreover, he had not been able to concentrate enough to find the source of the Calamity Light. It made him feel irritated that he had been taking out his anger on his women these few days.

However, there were still a few more days. He didn’t lose hope as he turned to look at an icy-blue-robed person at the Mystic Ice Sect’s seating area. Perhaps, she holds the key to resist against Davis as they had exchanged words with a bit of hostile intent.

The problem was he didn’t know if this woman was as powerful and talented as she had shown herself to be. Her Body Tempering Cultivation completely shook their hearts, after all. Only Davis’s woman Natalya had shown such prowess, but this was a pleasant surprise.

If he protected her for some more time, she might really grow into someone powerful as the Emperor of Death.

It was really the era of geniuses. So many unknowns were popping up left and right. Of them all, the Emperor of Death clearly reigned supreme, but he hoped that someone else could show up. After all, no matter what legends it may be, there were always two or more entities vying for supremacy at the end. If that happened...

’I could see a path to survival, perhaps, even victory...’

Vast Sky Emperor faintly smiled, biding his time. If not, he had another plan as well.

*Bzzz!~*

The space above the battle stage changed.

It was no longer a flat surface, but there were many mountain ranges as far as the eyes could see. It completely blocked their view.

As for the competitors, they landed in different areas, separated by a vast distance. It wouldn’t be a problem if they could see each other, but the earthen mountains blocked their view as well.

Projections instantly popped up, allowing them to see the three young experts.

Schleya didn’t summon her twin curved blades, concealing her cultivation as she suppressed it. She shot a look around, taking in the scenery before her mind wandered back to the question Welch Regalanius imposed on her.

She thought about it once again and wondered if she had implicated Davis again, but her mind said that she didn’t and only indicated her viewpoint.

From a young age, she had never lied to herself nor others, maintaining a conviction true to her heart.

If it were not for Davis, she wouldn’t have even bothered giving such explanations.

If you tried to explain yourself in the wicked path, no one cared. A blade would lop off your head before you could even utter a word or two.

Only fists spoke there in accordance with their commandment of the survival of the fittest. As long as you had the bigger fist, you could do anything you wanted, being kind and understanding or vile and mad.

Who would dare to ask? They would be courting death!

However, the vast majority of the wicked path experts tended to incline towards being vile and mad, so she could understand why the righteous path people would possess immense hate towards them and even towards her when she said that she still hadn’t left the wicked path.

She said that because if she became the strongest in the wicked path, she could control what was right and wrong. But unfortunately, that kind of ambition declined from her heart because...

Schleya’s pale face reddened a bit before she shook her head, concentrating on the battle. Her opponents had disappeared behind the mountain ranges and suppressed their undulations completely, hiding just like her. She could see the path ahead cut down by a valley, but it was full of magma, blazing with intense fire.

Fortunately, it was the Young Master of the Orcha Family who would be suppressed here more. Her blood energy would be relatively fine compared to water.

Blood Laws were said to be a branch of Water Laws and some other laws but comprehending it was natural to most humans since they were composed of it.

Nevertheless, the majority of the space was simply mountains with sparse vegetation. It shouldn’t be able to cast much suppression on them as long as they kept away from those burning valleys. The mountain ranges exuded a vast aura that suppressed lightning cultivators and gave an advantage to earth cultivators, but they didn’t exist in this battle.

Her lips curved into one of confidence, thinking that she had good as won this battle, but she didn’t underestimate them, slowly heading like a bloody cheetah, fast, swift yet silent. Her movement technique was activated, and she scaled the mountains in sideways as flying would release undulations unless she was completely concealed, but she didn’t know any concealment arts.

*Boom!~*

In the distance, Schleya could hear an explosion. Without stopping, she changed course and headed in that direction as she felt two undulations, one heavy and the other authoritative, battling against each other.

When she headed past that mountain range, she saw a water body appearing in her sight.

’A river valley...?’

Instantly, she became aware of the possibility that there might be plenty of advantageous and disadvantageous locations in other places.. Her eyes then caught sight of two figures in the air, looking at each other while she was still concealed.
