Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1524 - So Be It

Ancestor Dian Alstreim looked at the blatant provocation. Typically, one wouldnʼt challenge the host, especially not in the first battle. However, he openly scoffed as his voice echoed out.

”Haha! Seems like some powers think that itʼs easy to bully my Alstreim Family. Very well, Iʼll show you the difference between our familyʼs youngsters. Davis, Iʼll leave these arrogant people to your arrogance. Thatʼs the best medicine they can get for their overfed ego.”

”...!”

Almost everyoneʼs head turned in sync. Suddenly getting all the attention to himself, Davis blinked.

Was Ancestor Dian Alstreim praising him or cursing him?

Nevertheless, he shook his head as he stood up. Evelynn and Natalya, who held his arms a bit intimately, let him go. They watched his back while he headed towards the battle platform.

”Wait!”

A voice abruptly echoed out, causing Davis to stop below the battle platform when he was about to fly up. He looked towards the source of the voice and asked.

”What is it?”

The one who interrupted was none other than Ancestor Gong Kim-Il. He furrowed his brows to Davisʼs lack of respect but still spoke as he pointed at him and looked at Ancestor Dian Alstreim.

”First of all, what is this personʼs true identity? Is he an Alstreim or not? Just the blonde hair isnʼt enough to answer.”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim furrowed his brows at that comment. He was about to reply harshly before a voice suddenly echoed.

”You donʼt need to worry.”

Davisʼs lips curved, ”I have the blood of the Alstreim Family, so Iʼm more than qualified to be battling for them. Itʼs just I belong to the Dragon Queenʼs power, but it doesnʼt matter as long as I have their blood, does it? After all, this power is named the Alstreim Family, and as long as Iʼm not exiled, Iʼm still part of the family even if I belong to another power.”

”Huh?” Ancestor Gong Kim-Il scoffed, ”That not how it works...”

Davisʼs brows furrowed in annoyance. Looks like they knew of his abilities that theyʼre rather scared to face him in a younger generation battle.

”Hngg! How dare they limit him!?”

On the spectator side, Dalila Leehan and Tanya Frostblight looked at Lerissa, clenching her teeth in anger behind her veil. They couldnʼt help but ask.

”How will your Twilight Physician Hallʼs Top Disciple Brim Hisler fair against Davis?”

”Of course, that Brim idiot would lose to Davis in an instant without a doubt!”

Dalila Leehan and Tanya Frostblight wryly giggled, not knowing whether they should believe this braindead follower or not. She even dared to call her own powerʼs top disciple an idiot, making them wonder if she was fine in the head.

Could it be that she personally hated Brim Hisler?

Nevertheless, it was one thing if it was a battle of Body Tempering Cultivation or Soul Forging Cultivation, but for Essence Gathering Cultivation, how is it possible for Davis to win?

It was clear that he was exceptional in Essence Gathering Cultivation as well since he conjured a Superior Law Manifestation, but that was a matter that occurred just a few years ago.

Now, he was actually at the Law Dominion Stage.

Davisʼs transition into the Law Dominion Stage from Low-Level Law Manifestation Stage was just too quick in the eyes of the public.

It was just recently that he had revealed a Superior Law Manifestation, so how could he have a higher-tiered domain when he broke through so soon unless his law comprehension was not only good but also incredibly fast?

He was already extremely talented in Soul Forging Cultivation, so how could he be so monstrous in Essence Gathering Cultivation?

It just didnʼt make sense to them.

Davis couldnʼt help but laugh.

”Damn, you people are so scared of me winning this contest in a blink of an eye. I wouldnʼt be using my Body Tempering Cultivation, so why bother blocking me?”

”Hmph!” Ancestor Gong Kim-Il snorted, ”Who said that we are scared of you? You can compete, but you must officially join the Alstreim Family. You are on the border of becoming eligible, so since your position is ambiguous, I must say that you lack the complete qualifications to enter the battle.”

”So why can the Dragon Families join then? If Iʼm not capable of joining, then they shouldnʼt be able to join as well.”

”Thatʼs...” Ancestor Gong Kim-Ilʼs expression flickered, ”Thatʼs because they declared that they donʼt want the Law Tree Fruit. As long as you say you donʼt want it, youʼll gain the qualifications to showcase your skills.”

”Ah, your greedy mind is after the Law Tree Fruit.”

Davis nodded.

”So be it. I donʼt want the Law Tree Fruit.”

”...?”

His reply made numerous eyes blink, even a few jaws drop. Ancestor Gong Kim-Il was about to berate him for slandering him, but then he too became dumbfounded.

Ancestor Gong Kim-Il gnashed his teeth as he spoke.

”Still, you only made this clear at this moment, so you would have to sit this one out and join the next battle.”

They must absolutely have the first win in order to humiliate the Alstreim Family. He could not settle over any other decision.

”Heh, since it is clear that you are extremely afraid, I guess itʼs better for me to stay this one out until I find a better opponent who can at least struggle against me. After all, thereʼs no point in bullying a weak cultivator.”

”What arrogance...!” Ancestor Gong Kim-Il clenched his fists in anger.

Davis merely chuckled, moved his gaze, and gave a good look at Brim Hisler, who coldly looked at him before Davisʼs smile widened even more. He turned around and raised his brows at Evelynn.

However, Evelynn shook her head with a calm smile.

”Husband, as much as I would like to battle, this isnʼt my place. Donʼt we already have two people who belong to the Alstreim Family who is more eligible to battle according to them?”

Her voice melodiously echoed, attracting the attention of the crowd while they blinked.

”Haha, right.”

Davis kept his smile, becoming heartened. With this kind of lineup of powerhouses, Evelynn was absolutely unfazed. She would be scared as hell in the past, but now, there wasnʼt a semblance of nervousness in her face or heart. His gaze then moved behind her.

”Sophie, you heard your big sister. I think this is a good place to test your skills, no?”

”Me...?”

Sophie was not scared to showcase her skills as she had many times had to do so when she concocted pills and forged weapons, but in this case, where many powerhouses were present, her confidence hadnʼt reached such a level for her to allow to be unimpeded. She might experience nervousness, but that was it.

She stepped forward without saying another word and flew towards Davis, who stood below the platform.

He raised his hand to the side as if waiting to tag before Sophie understood as she clapped his hand and jumped onto the battle platform.

”Ahahaha! This is the first time Iʼm seeing a man letting his woman fight for him!”

Davis turned to look at Ancestor Gong Kim-Il, who mockingly laughed at him before he condescendingly smirked.

”Iʼm sorry that my women arenʼt decorations like yours.”

”Ahahah-”

A bunch of laughter echoed from the place where the youngsters sat before they hurriedly shut their mouths. However, there was still one girl laughing as she held her stomach.

Everyoneʼs expression fell on Lerissa. Only then did she shut her mouth but still possessed that mocking smile on her face. Fortunately, it wasnʼt visible but everyone could see her eyes curving when one smiles.

Nora Alstreim, Dalila Leehan, and Tanya Frostblight were dumbfounded by this woman called Lerissa. Was this woman crazy?

Davisʼs women were also laughing, but they were his women, so they had the gall and justification to laugh, but her? She was courting death!

Ancestor Kain Bloodlife of the Twilight Physician Hall saw one of his core disciples still have a mocking expression on her face. He became angered but didnʼt say anything, thinking of dealing with her later, but on the other hand, Ancestor Gong Kim-Ilʼs expression became disturbed as he felt quite a bit of humiliation burning his face.

”Kim-Il, donʼt bicker with a child. Youʼre the one whoʼs going to end up wasting time in a standoff when there are so many other powerhouses present to protect him.”

Ancestor Gong Hyun-Kiʼs voice echoed in his mind, making him clench his teeth from frustration.

Did this brat think that he was invincible just because the Dragon Queen was with him? If it werenʼt for the Dragon Families present here and their attitude towards him unknown, he felt like he wouldʼve outright killed him!
