Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1928 - Shocking Confession?

The New Era Battle Arena was still silent, people talking in hushed voices. Since this was the last match of the day, the two arbitrators also slipped away. No one came forward to speak in a loud voice after hearing Bylai Zlatanʼs words that sounded like ramblings but had a hint of truth in them.

As a direct manifestation of that, the Emperor of Death decided to give out rewards using the Soul Palace, didnʼt he? Now his actions seemed more understandable and not a scheme.

The Zlatan Familyʼs expression was incredulous, to say the least.

Their Golden Dragon Queen had been bewitched mentally? Has her heart been conquered?

However, Klade Zlatan and Lezella Zlatan understood Bylai Zlatan and sighed. Despite the tragedy that befell them, they were still thankful to the Emperor of Death and the Earth Dragon Queen for sparing them. Such magnanimity is hard to come by as once evidence of oneʼs wrongdoing is accumulated, even the righteous path experts wouldnʼt let go of the opportunity to eradicate an entire bloodline under the name of justice.

To the righteous path, as long as it is within reason, anything is possible. However, compared to the wicked pathʼs unreasonable actions that were scary, it was way better to be on the righteous pathʼs side. Such were the thoughts that united them even if the righteous path was cruel to them.

In the northern hemisphere, the Mandate Emperor could merely chuckle at this situation.

He had known long back that the Emperor of Death was a jovial youth, and there wasnʼt anything to be afraid of unless they stupidly went ahead and provoked him, incurring his wrath. Thatʼs why he had tried to pull him into the righteous path, even went as far as to give so many benefits to his little sister, who will eventually become the Heaven Mandate Empress once he steps down and ascends.

Although, now he had some doubt as to whether Claraʼs coronation as the Heaven Mandate Empress would happen sooner than he expected because their rate of improvement was faster and vaster than anyone he had ever seen. It was not that they were destroying his common sense, but he understood that they had access to resources that even he could never obtain because of their immortal inheritances.

As the day ended, he stood up and left, but a hint of worry still remained in his eyes.

It was going to the fourth day soon, but they still hadnʼt found the source of the Calamity Light.

As for the probable source, it appeared to have a proud expression on its face.

”Look at that… Even a prideful woman who was enslaved under disturbing circumstances is vouching for him after living under his care. I told you Prince Davis is a caring and indulging man as I once received the same benefits and care under his wings. If you investigate my memories detailedly, you will come to know of it that not only is it endearing but also addictive to see his awkward expressions.”

”…”

This time, Myria didnʼt say anything. Perhaps, it was because no matter what she said, Ellia wouldnʼt change her mind.

However, at this moment, the proud expression of Ellia froze as her head turned. The Heaven Mandate Emperor, who was also leaving, suddenly stopped and turned to look towards the Burning Phoenix Ridge, his eyes becoming wide. The leaders of every power simultaneously felt their hearts clench!

”The Golden Dragon Queen said something like that, but the wonder I currently yearn for in my heart is you, Sect Master Lea Weiss.”

Davis floated in front of the Burning Phoenix Ridgeʼs seating area as he possessed a warm smile on his face.

”I have fallen for you. Will you marry me, Lea?”

Those were words said without any effort or romanticism, but it stunned Lea Weiss, causing her heart to skip a beat before it started to pound in a frenzy rapidly. Everything in her view became unfocused as only a single purple-robed man existed in her eyes. Her pupils were dilated with pure shock, not expecting Davis to do something like this, not after what happened on the battle stage.

This was entirely sudden, catching her off-guard. In fact, none of them knew how he appeared here as he just disappeared for a moment before reappearing.

Isabella and Evelynn were shocked as well, not expecting him to make such a move at this moment, but the people who absolutely had no idea couldnʼt believe their eyes or ears.

The Emperor of Death had just professed his love to the Burning Phoenix Ridgeʼs Sect Master!

This… whatʼs going on!? It was common that people were going around during the nighttime to make alliances, but this kind of alliance… could be the strongest to be ever made as people were now aware of Sect Master Lea Weissʼs prowess. It was told that she was as strong as the Four Great Righteous Sect Leaders, but by how much, they didnʼt know.

Nevertheless, the entire New Era Battle Arena felt tumultuous waves encroach their heart, but they all stayed silent, waiting for Sect Master Lea Weissʼs answer.

”…”

Each second felt like a year to the people, but not to Davis. He calmly waited for Lea Weiss to come out of her reverie.

At the ninth second, Sect Master Lea Weiss stood up from her throne and floated towards the skies. Her heavenly countenance was stricken with a crimson shade, making her look even more alluring under the moonlit night.

When she appeared before Davis, she deeply looked at him, taking a deep breath as her bosoms heaved before reaching out her hand. She placed her frail and smooth hand on his palm, looking into his eyes with glistening eyes.

”I promise to become yours forever.”

”…!”

The tumultuous waves in the hearts of people were about to erupt as they saw Sect Master Lea Weiss accept the Emperor of Deathʼs proposal.

”Then I promise to love you with all my heart and give up my life when needed, Fairy Lea.”

”…!”

Davis spoke and did something that made millions of jaws drop again. He pulled her closer and gave Lea Weiss a deep, stunning kiss as her veil came off, but before their lips could connect, flames went up around them, hiding their figures from the public eyes.

”Wha-”

The entire battle arena erupted into an uproar. However, another loud voice overwhelmed them all.

”Congratulations, Emperor of Death and Little Lea.”

Unexpectedly, Ancestor Cornelia, the oldest Burning Phoenix alive, gave her blessings!

The people became shocked, unable to say a word in front of this unbelievable scenario.

After a few seconds passed, the flame wall disappeared, and what appeared in the view of the public was the Emperor of Death and Sect Master Lea Weiss in an embrace.

What was even more shocking was Sect Master Lea Weiss hid her face on Davisʼs chest while having her arms wrapped around him.

The moment people saw her willingly hold him, their eyes blazed with fury and helplessness!

However, the entire Burning Phoenix Ridge went on their knees as their voices boomed out!

”Congratulations! Emperor of Death!”

”Congratulations! Sect Master!”

Their voices were as fiery as the sun and loud as a thunderous roar, reaching everywhere in the New Era Battle Arena as it shook the hearts of the people.

Back then, it was the Emperor of Death who had saved their sect from the wicked pathʼs all-out attack. From then on, they possessed immense respect for him!

They had initially felt that losing their Top Disciple Shirley had been a huge loss, but now, they were even willing to give their Sect Master to the Emperor of Death! Their gratitude almost knew no bounds! And since their Sect Master also seemed to accept his advances, they were content even if they had many questions!

Nevertheless, the expressions of the other experts and powerhouses were just the opposite!

The Emperor of Death had just successfully courted the strongest, unmarried woman of their righteous path! Not only did the Golden Dragon Queen give her heart to him just now, he already had a bevy of beauties who were extremely powerful, so why?

Just why!?

Had the heavens forsaken their chances? Even if they could not obtain Fairy Lea Weiss, they wouldʼve been at least content to see her ascend unmarried. The grand characters there wouldʼve tried to court her, and they could accept that they had been merely born in a lower realm, unable to match the swanʼs magnificence.

But…

Bastard! A young bastard who was not even thirty years old managed to make them feel less of a man in the span of three days!

Furthermore, he had both the master and disciple of the Burning Phoenix Ridge! This was a forbidden matter, but underneath the thunderous voices of the Burning Phoenix Ridge, they were unable to even let out a sound of disagreement.

Where could they go cry out in indignation!? Were the heavens not fair anymore!?

Although their eyes had lit up with raging flames, they were inwardly crying in jealousy.
