Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1357 - Final Attack

Top Disciple Verona Stein arrived at the north end while Shirley moved south.

”Hehe, you really stepped onto the battle stage...” Shirley spoke with a giggle, ”Are you sure that you can defeat me?”

”Why not...?” Top Disciple Verona Steinʼs clear and sweet voice sounded amused, ”The day is almost going to end, and you have probably used a bit less than half of your energy to battle that dislikeable man. Although I agree that youʼre strong, I have also gotten stronger, so it remains to be seen if you would win, and it is even more the case as you are already at a disadvantage in terms of the remaining essence energy we possess. I havenʼt even battled a single time yet.”

”Haha, arenʼt you glad to fight me in this state?” Shirley sounded equally amused.

Top Disciple Verona Stein shook her head as her expression became sorrowful, ”I think itʼs a pity because itʼs unfair to you. However, itʼs your fault that you stopped at that time. You shouldʼve defeated that dislikeable man before stopping to rest and then finally challenge me. I canʼt do anything about this unfairness as itʼs your own doing.”

Her eyes suddenly narrowed.

”Nevertheless, even if Iʼm wrong and lost in the end, I will still take the same decision if the heavens would allow me to battle you in this stage once again!~”

Shirley blinked.

However, she knew that this woman was overly stuck up with honor, face and whatnot, just like her family elder Grand Elder Newgate Stein.

ʼWho am I kidding? Most of the people present here are like that...ʼ She shook her head and smiled.

”Well, then donʼt be disgruntled when I defeat you today...”

”Weʼll see about that...”

Top Disciple Verona Steinʼs undulations began to tremble while Shirley remained the same, not putting up any defenses like she previously had acted.

However, looking at these two beauties converse as their melodious voices reached their ears, it was rather obvious that these two gave each other some respect, perhaps due to being the only two female top disciples, at least until now as Esvele Zelte joined their ranks.

The referee who cast his glance at the two beauties from above nodded his head in satisfaction as his hand dropped.

”Let the battle begin!”

Almost as soon as the battle commenced, Top Disciple Verona Steinʼs figure flashed from her initial position, making it known that she chose to be aggressive in this fight rather than adopting a defensive stance. She rushed towards Shirley as if she had the intent to kill, but her undulations were steady, like the calm before the storm.

She neared Shirley within the range of two kilometers before a low murmur escaped her mouth.

”Domain~”

No fancy names came off from her mouth as a crimson force field expanded from her body, instantly reaching a kilometer in radius! The Supreme Domain bloomed as burning phoenix flames burst out like beautiful lotuses and other flowers, each having an extreme yet complex shape that made the spectatorsʼ scalps turn numb.

They felt if those flames ever caught them, they would be goners without a doubt!

The people were in a state of stupor as they saw her Supreme Domain reach one and a half kilometers and yet still not stop. It was already more powerful than what Top Disciple Vito Rein could form, instantly establishing her superiority over him. It wasnʼt a fluke that her rank was greater than Top Disciple Vito Reinʼs, but it became an established fact as she was truly powerful at this moment.

However, when they saw it extend past the range of thousand and six hundred meters, finally reaching thousand and nine hundred meters wide in radius, they became utterly shocked because even Top Disciple Azzuren Rein was known to have summoned only a thousand and eight hundred meters radius domain.

*Hssss!~*

The crimson domain engulfed Shirley as Top Disciple Verona Stein closed the distance to a kilometer. Vines erupted from the empty space as if they were summoned from nothing. However, it was part of her domain, and the body of the vine was full of burning phoenix flames, scorching with intensity as it made its way to Shirley.

Shirley still didnʼt move. Her eyes curved into a smile as her iconic burning phoenix wings appeared behind her back and covered her in its embrace. The flaming vines neared her and surrounded Shirleyʼs defensive technique in flames.

*Bang!~* *Bang!~* *Bang!~*

The flaming vines whipped, tightened, and tried to pry open Shirleyʼs defensive wings, but it was of no use as only the flames kept sizzling against and trying to wipe out each other.

*Hsss!~*

Abruptly, a lotus-shaped burning phoenix flame appeared above Shirley and fell on the embrace of her wings before it suddenly exploded!

*Booom!~*

A few more flaming lotuses fell as they simultaneously exploded as well, while Shirley seemed as if she could do nothing but defend!

*Booom!~* *Booom!~* *Booom!~*

The crowd let out a gasp at the intensity of Top Disciple Verona Steinʼs attacks!

Top Disciple Azzuren Reinʼs eyes shone with a desirous glint when he realized that she was even more dazzling than him when he was in the Law Dominion Stage. Although it was just a hundred meters, it constituted a seaʼs worth of difference!

ʼLittle brother, since your life jewels are already in danger, you donʼt need to recover. I shall make it permanently unusable. You are not worthy of taking Verona as your woman...ʼ His eyes flashed in an insidious manner.

All he had to do was secretly poison his little brotherʼs yang and impair his two kidneys, and his father, Grand Elder Valerian, would naturally support him in having all three women to himself.

His body trembled as he couldnʼt wait to have them all serve him as his women!

However, it was unlikely that the sect would allow for him to take all three of them, meaning that he probably had to forcefully take them, which he found challenging, not even faltering a bit as he loved challenges.

The Elders and Grand Elders had their eyes shining, nodding in approval to Top Disciple Verona Steinʼs prowess while some of them recalled that the last time Shirley displayed her Supreme Domain, it was also thousand and nine hundred meters in radius. This meant that these two top beauties now equaled in prowess, but Shirley still hadnʼt revealed her domain yet.

For all they knew, it mightʼve reached two kilometers in radius, becoming the strongest Supreme Domain that a human could conjure!

Watching Shirley defend against the Top Disciple Verona Steinʼs domain with the burning phoenix flames she summoned, they impatiently began to wait for Shirley to reveal her true strength!

The explosion of the flaming lotus composed of burning phoenix flames seemed to have done nothing to Shirley as her wings uncovered a bit, revealing her lovely eyes.

”Stop using your favorite Crimson Burning Shade Wings Technique and take this battle seriously, Shirley. You know what I mean...”

Top Disciple Verona Stein uttered as her mouth curved into a smile.

”Oh, I am serious, at least, am going to be...”

Shirley nonchalantly replied to which Top Disciple Verona Stein had an amused smile behind her crimson veil.

”I donʼt know if youʼre careless or confident, but if you donʼt move, youʼll be bound by my flaming vines while my flaming lotus would engulf you into purgatory. On that note, I thought of naming my domain Flowery Purgatory, but it felt so childish that I didnʼt dare to make myself a laughing stock.”

”What do you think, Shirley?”

”Truly wonderful, and even the name is to my liking.” Shirley replied with her brows raised, ”Why didnʼt you use it? Who cares about the stinky men who think that all names should be domineering? I like this Flowery Purgatory, in how one would think that it is weak but, in truth, is incredibly strong in its ability to bind and burn, almost as if it were specifically created to trap and deal a killing blow without letting the enemy escape!”

Top Disciple Verona Stein looked genuinely surprised before she nodded, ”I knew that weʼre the same, Shirley.”

Looking at these two women talk instead of battling, everyone possessed perplexed and amused expressions on their faces. However, they still couldnʼt help but nod to Shirleyʼs statement. The Flowery Purgatory was indeed a comical name, but when it looked uncanny and deadly enough to trap and burn, it no longer sounded comical but instead eerie and dangerous.

”Then, I wonʼt hold back anymore!” Top Disciple Verona Steinʼs crimson eyes abruptly widened, ”Take this, junior sister Shirley!”

Hundreds of lotuses and thousands of vines, all blazing with burning phoenix flames, suddenly came into existence as they shot towards Shirley! They were not an illusion but instantly conjured from the power of her domain! The lotuses were all several meters long and wide, while the vines stretched infinitely within the domain.

There seemed to be no end to them as the temperature rapidly rose in the battle stage, seeking to burn Shirley alive!

Shirley, who was defending against the previous vines and lotuses with the Crimson Burning Shade Wings Technique, looked at the incoming flowery onslaught. Her crimson lips curved into even more of a smile when she realized that she wouldnʼt get out scot-free from this attack and would incur severe damages.

”Truly, you have surpassed your previous self, senior sister Verona...”

A glint of respect shone in her eyes before her crimson lips moved as she let out a low mutter.

”Domain~”

*Hmmm!~*

A low hum resounded throughout the battle arena as another crimson domain bloomed into existence, overlapping with the pre-existing domain!

Everyoneʼs eyes widened in excitement as they finally saw senior sister Shirley summon her domain.

Shirley waved her hand as her powerful burning phoenix flames burst into existence, instantly encountering the flaming vines and lotuses. However, as soon as the adversary flames clashed, the vines disintegrated, and the lotuses exploded into nothingness while Shirleyʼs burning phoenix flames that took the form of many phoenixes overwhelmed the incoming attack and advanced in the skies like an army.

”Wha-!!!?”

The little burning phoenixes all made their way towards the dumbfounded Verona Stein in an instant before they all came to a stop as they surrounded her.

There was utter silence in the battle stage, which caused her voice to echo in the battle arena.

Top Disciple Verona Stein didnʼt put up any measures to defend as she looked at the encompassing domain that overwhelmed and encased hers within its range as it kept growing to a whopping four thousand meters radius domain! It covered almost one-third of the battle stage, causing her scalp to tingle in shock while her body trembled in inferiority!

”As I thought, Shirley really does have a Perfect Domain. No wonder her prowess remained abnormally strong while she didnʼt care to use her domain to counter others...”

”!!!”

Sect Master Lea Weissʼs voice echoed in the battle arena, causing the dumbfounded people to come out of their reverie as they took in a deep breath of cold air!

*Hsss!~*

Boom!

There were instantly numerous people talking in excitement, having their undulations released at the same time that it created a low boom reverberating in the battle arena! They no longer seemed to care about the battle as they began discussing Shirleyʼs Perfect Domain!
