Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1937: Battle Above The Raging Sea

The Seven Sky Transformation Spatial Formation shook the battle stage and caused the area to distort. Tens and thousands of runes lit up, illuminating the space before the flash of light blinded the people.

What appeared in their eyes was a world of sea with a few islands on a few spots on the surface of the sea. The sky was stormy with rain filling the entire space, and even thunder crackled from the clouds high up in the skies. However, they were all contained within the spatial formation, causing people to marvel at this beautiful stage.

”Woah… is this an illusion?”

Fiora absentmindedly uttered, but Davis shook his head.

”The water, the land, the clouds… they are all real….”

His mouth was slightly agape, fascinated by the working of this formation that he turned to look at Sophie.

”Sophie, can you-”

”I really couldnʼt decipher a single rune that in that formation…” Sophieʼs mouth was wide with shock as well.

Everyone looked the same as them, marveling at this formation. Not only was it gigantic, but it was also enough to cover the kilometers of space of the battle stage.

Davis had some knowledge of formations, but Sophie was more knowledgeable on inscriptions. When inscriptions reached a certain level, they could be characterized as runes. Formation runes were nothing but an amalgamation of inscriptions forming to have a single or a few purposes.

Although Davis had consumed information on Inscriptions from the Soul Palace, he hadnʼt digested them yet. On the other hand, Sophie did digest them using her Solitary Soul Avatar. Since he was the Palace Master, he could allow them to have unlimited access to the Soul Palaceʼs Library. Even now, the avatars were hard at work while their main bodies were here, enjoying the competition with them.

Sophie had probably comprehended Mid-Level Emperor Grade Inscriptions already and was studying the High-Level Emperor Grade Inscriptions along with Forging, but she couldnʼt decipher a single one of those runes? That meant that this formation was at the Peak-Level Emperor Grade, as initially mused by him when he sensed the level of the water body inside the spatial formation.

Nonetheless, they had witnessed tens and thousands of runes lighting up to create this vast space filled with real substance in an instant. Therefore, they were all captivated.

Unfortunately, Alia Silverwind wasnʼt here, or that formation expert would definitely be able to shed more light about this formation to them.

Of course, Davis knew that he could shatter this formation with a wave of his hand, but that still did not block him from appreciating this piece of marvel. In the cultivation world, there were so many branches of cultivation paths that one could take a walk-through, but he didnʼt have time to ponder on them. He could only go along with the flow at the moment, increasing his three cultivations and having some time for Alchemy. As for Forging, Inscriptions, Constructs, Formations, he could only depend on others as learning them required more comprehension ability and time from him.

He had a good comprehension ability, but it would be taxing without time to learn as he had to prepare for the Calamity Light.

This made him wonder if he could speed up time for himself in order to do many things in a short amount of time. Unfortunately, he hadnʼt heard of someone having a cultivation ground like that, and his best bet would only be the two natural cultivation grounds of time, the Distorted Skies of Yonder and Alternating Time Flow Valley. However, he heard that they werenʼt useful for speeding up time but only useful in learning Time Laws.

Either way, it could be a start for him.

His gaze fell on Zestria, who seemed to be in the rain, but a layer of fiery energy covered her, stopping her from getting drenched.

”Hehe~”

A peal of laughter rang out from Zestriaʼs crimson lips as she looked around. This space was really marvelous in her eyes, able to bring something out of nothing in an instant. But unlike Davis and the others, she possessed some knowledge about this formation, so she wasnʼt surprised much as she was surprised long back when she had first heard about it.

However, for this space to be against her fire attribute… was it intentional?

”Fire Dragon Queen, I was worried a moment ago, but it now looks like I have a valid chance…” chuckled Trayn Starchild.

His light energy was yang in nature due to having the property of a burning star like the sun, but it wouldnʼt be affected as much as the pure fire attribute of Zestria.

Zestria narrowed her brows, feeling the suppression this water-attributed space had on her. She was a bit exasperated but also saw this as a challenge, as it made things more interesting for her.

”Arenʼt you glad that I donʼt have to end this battle in a single punch?”

”The Fire Dragon Queen is as arrogant and fiery as I heard in the rumors.” Sunlight shone from Trayn Starchildʼs body.

He turned from a man with a rough scar to a brazen sun deity, looking as though he was holier than thou. Simultaneously, the intense, fiery rays of light gathered above him, forming into a golden sphere before unleashing an energy attack at Zestria.

”Focused Starlight Ray.”

Zestria didnʼt stand on ceremony as she unleashed her crimson-gold flames at the incoming attack. Her opponentʼs attack was like sunshine illuminating the world as light gathered unto her, but her fire dragon flames were overbearing as they struck the light ray, constantly burning the light that was trying to reach her.

Trayn Starchildʼs brows furrowed. He didnʼt hold back and unleashed one of his powerful techniques right from the start, but it failed to do much against Zestriaʼs Fire Dragon Flames?

Her prowess shouldʼve dropped to the peak of Mid-Level Law Rune Stage at the very least, but it didnʼt seem like it. He refused to believe that the environment didnʼt suppress her.

*Bzzz!~*

He strengthened his Focused Starlight Ray Technique on her, intending to force through her crimson-gold flames that were raging amidst the rain and his light technique.

Zestria simply sent out her flames without using any technique. Her expression was one of pride as she saw that the suppression this space had on her didnʼt cause her prowess to drop below High-Level Law Rune Stage, and she knew the reason because her flames were the most powerful version present from the comprehension of Fire Dragon Flames. The water here was no different than ordinary water filled with heaven and earth energy, so how could it suppress the purity of her Fire Dragon Flames?

”Hmph.”

She let out a snort and was about to counterattack when she suddenly noticed Ander Reven murmuring something in the distance. Instantly, her guard went up by a few times. If Trayn Starchildʼs attacks were focused and overbearing, able to be seen even though it was extremely fast, then Ander Revenʼs attacks would be mysterious as he practiced Space, Time, and Karma Laws.

The opponent she was facing was a Mystic Diviner!

Instantly, a ray of white light shot out from Ander Revenʼs forehead, heading towards her and covering the area of space around her.

Heaven and earth tumbled around her, and before she knew it, Zestria was already sending her crimson-gold flames in the opposite direction where no one was there.

ʼThis is.. the Sky Flipping Seal Techniqueʼ

Zestria instantly knew as she turned around. However, the Focused Starlight Ray was too fast, breaking through her flames and striking her right on the abdomen.

*Bang!~*

She was sent flying by the impact, causing the people watching to stand up from their seats, their jaws dropping wide.

However, they saw her instantly regain her balance, her crimson-gold flames surging from her body, especially at the place where she was hit as a crimson-gold dragon scale seemed to have appeared.

”Thatʼs… the Fire Dragon Crystal Scale Technique of the Fire Dragonʼs Retribution Flameworld Codex!”

Someone from the crowd echoed, clearly excited.

”Seniors, since youʼre so shameless as to attack at the same time, then I wonʼt truly hold back any longer.”

Zestriaʼs amused voice echoed when her figure abruptly disappeared.

*Boom!~*

The space under her crumbled, and Zestria shot right past the Focused Starlight Ray that was about to hit her again, dashing past it with intense speed. Her speed was so fast that the single ray of light could not follow her movements, becoming useless!

Trayn Starchild hurriedly canceled his attack and performed another one, but by the time his energy had passed through the specific meridians and came out of his pores, a terrifying figure wrapped in domineering flames of the Fire Dragon was already in front of him, her expression ruthless as she sent out a punch against him.

”…!”
