Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1570 - You Knew It!?

Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snows seemed to have gone pale with anger and fright as they looked at the devilishly handsome black-haired man.

The current Soul Emperor released undulations at the High-Level Emperor Soul Stage that it even crossed through the barrier to suppress them. The barrier was capable of stopping soul attacks as well, so this bit of pressure didnʼt bother them, but Davis was out there.

How was he going to survive against that onslaught of a Soul Emperor!?

”I have to go...”

He uttered, taking a step forward with an unsightly expression when a hand clasped his arm.

”No, please donʼt. Iʼll go...”

Ancestor Tirea Snow pleaded with a sorrowful glint in her eyes.

”No, never!”

Looking at her, Ancestor Dian Alstreim became enraged at himself.

Why wasnʼt he strong enough to protect his wife at this moment?

He unceremoniously cursed the heavens at this moment, albeit in his mind.

In the skies, Davis looked at Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross while he couldnʼt help but wonder with extreme annoyance.

ʼOne after another... is this what it is?ʼ

He expected danger to come and it seems like multiple powerhouses ganging upon him was seemingly the little bit of danger he faced?

Nevertheless, this wasnʼt enough to scare him, nor was he shaken as the entrance of Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross was well within his expectations.

It was just that he certainly did not expect him to come at the particular moment as he was rather expecting the Zlatan Familyʼs Patriarch.

”Hoho? What is this?”

Soul Emperor seemingly looked around, panning his gaze over the numerous people present in the airspace, finally looking at the scrawny little weak scholarly person who screamed his name.

”Heaven Gazing Sect!? What a pleasant surprise!”

His expression blossomed into smiles as if he hadnʼt expected to see Honorable Elder Julian Kruse here.

It appeared as if he had gained information of Ancestor Tirea Snowʼs marriage but wasnʼt aware of the powerhouses gathered here today.

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse didnʼt dare to take out a distress talisman as that would turn the aggression against him but looking at the current situation where he accidentally slipped and screamed when fear overwhelmed his heart, he knew he had to do something.

”Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross. It seems like youʼve successfully managed to recover from your soul injury, no?”

His brows couldnʼt help but twitch as he tried to initiate a conversation.

At this moment, he could only hope some people present here had the means to warn the Four Great Righteous Sects or the Soul Palace, which would be able to take down this Soul Emperor with their own Soul Emperors.

Furthermore, there was still the Zlatan Familyʼs Patriarch who could probably arrive at any moment. If he could buy time till then, then he could successfully escape death today!

Soul Emperor Hadrian Crossʼs lips curved into an amused smile.

”In Soul Forging Cultivation, you would need to keep your soul essence uninjured. Otherwise, your prowess would inevitably drop. I havenʼt completely healed my soul essence, although I have completely regained my soul cultivation, so it is quite reasonable for me to reach the peak of the High-Level Emperor Soul Stage. Nevertheless, scrawny nobodies like you all donʼt need to worry about me. Instead...”

Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross raised his hand, having a crazy smile on his face.

”This is a good start for my revenge against the Heaven Gazing Sect and Bastard Elder Aemilian Weaver...”

”Wait...!”

Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans stood in front of the terrified Honorable Elder Julian Kruse. The former felt helpless because his Mandate Laws would work less against cultivators with powerful souls. Moreover, soul force wasnʼt something that could be easily stopped as it was flexible compared to essence energy and martial energy.

It would easily bypass him and attack Honorable Elder Julian Kruse.

He even glanced at the Dragon Families for help, but they refused to stay a word, much less show any intent to defend them.

ʼBastards! Iʼll definitely take this up to our Four Great Righteous Sects if I survive!ʼ

Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans inwardly swore with hatred gleaming in his eyes before he turned to look at Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross, ready to face him to death as his High-Level Law Rune Stage undulations blazed out of his body.

They were both at the same level, but the one who possessed the Soul Forging Cultivation obviously possessed a greater advantage against equal level powerhouses. There werenʼt many changes to that unless their Soul Forging Cultivation the person possessed trash talent and forced cultivation.

However, was Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross, the youngest to reach Soul Emperor Stage, some lucky trash? Did such a Soul Emperor even exist?

After all, there were only nine known Soul Emperors in the world. Even if hidden Soul Emperors exist, it would be no more than a few.

”Seems like you made up your mind to die along with the Heaven Gazing Sectʼs elder. Perhaps, I should make you two my slave. That would be interesting in its own way...”

Soul Emperor Hadrian Crossʼs soul force emerged out of his palm, the very appearance of it adopting the sinister color of darkness instead of smooth flowing water he was known for. After all, while he trained in Water Laws for Soul Forging Cultivation on the surface, he also trained in Darkness Laws in truth, which got him finally tied to his secret crimes found by Honorable Elder Aemilian Weaver.

Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans took a step forward as he raised the long-shell with many holes in his hands, appearing to be ready to defend against the Soul Emperorʼs attacks.

However, just before they could start the battle, a woman abruptly appeared between them, her purple hair freely flowing while she held a golden sword in her hand.

The Soul Emperorʼs eyes widened. He did notice the extraordinary air of this woman, but he didnʼt recognize her one bit, nor did he want to offend her due to the Peak-Level Emperor Grade Sword she held. He instinctively knew that she wasnʼt a target to mess with as he finally recalled that he vaguely felt Low-Level Martial Overlord Stage undulations whose intensity had reached the pinnacle.

After all, while he knew that a Body Tempering Cultivator with a low Soul Forging Cultivation wouldnʼt be his opponent, this woman possessed a high Body Tempering Cultivation prowess which made his Soul Forging Cultivation appear at a disadvantage.

”Oh, youʼre plenty powerful and mesmerizingly beautiful. Are you from the Dragon Families like them? Hidden Dragon Families? You emit a similar aura like them that I do not recognize.”

”Iʼm not.” Isabellaʼs voice echoed out as she brandished her sword, ”Instead, I even hate them for unreasonably wanting to force me.”

Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross narrowed his eyes as she made his intent clear to him. She was intent on protecting the two behind them.

Davis inwardly sighed with a smile appearing on his face, knowing that Isabella wouldnʼt leave injustice to be committed in front of her eyes. It was especially so when these two Honorable Elders stood for them against the Dragon Families.

On the other hand, Honorable Elder Julian Kruse and Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans relaxed, appearing to cast a grateful look at Isabella.

”Intolerable! But I can understand. People are like that, and I also became like that. We take what we want to take. By any chance, if I said that I wanted you, would you consider it?”

The Soul Emperorʼs solemn expression faded, replaced with a forlorn smile as if he was truly in search of a companion.

”Bastard, this great person is married.”

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse forcefully shouted, looking no longer afraid.

They had just witnessed Isabella ultimately suppress the Poison Lord and almost caused him to die, so how could she lose against the Soul Emperor? It was unlikely.

”Tch, who needs a married woman?” The Soul Emperorʼs expression instantly changed, ”Only sc.u.m would look at a married woman with l.u.s.tful eyes. I didnʼt think the Dragon Families would be brazen and lowly enough to be forcing a married woman, and they say Iʼm a righteous path traitor. How hypocritical. Oh well. On the other hand, my Beauty Snow is still unmarried as I, fortunately, arrived before time, which means I still have a chance, no?”

He turned to look at Ancestor Tirea Snow within the safe confines of the barrier with a deep smile on his face.

”Beauty Snow, do you still not understand my feelings towards you? I fell for you the moment I saw you. Other women wouldnʼt even come close to you in terms of purity. You were like a heavenly swan who even made me sometimes recognize myself as a toad. Nevertheless, I couldʼve forced you if I tried hard enough, even while injured, but I didnʼt. Why? Because I truly wanted to grasp your heart, love you with all my soul.”

”!!!?”

The people who listened closely had their eyes tremble as they also turned to look below, staring at Ancestor Tirea Snow in incredulity.

”You... You knew that Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross was here!?”

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse couldnʼt believe it.

One could only connect this matter to hiding a traitorous cultivator if it wasnʼt explained clearly!
