Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2671 Inheritors Awakening

In an icy mountain region, the figures of countless immortals could be seen.

The icy region seemed to be encased in an unbreakable seal that blocked all attempts at entrance and intrusion by outsiders--in other words, it was as if this place had been frozen solid and locked away. The area itself was enormous, with nothing but icy mountains towering into the sky from every direction.

Within these mountainous regions were many valleys, and in these valley spaces, there were many floating ice crystals that were a few tens of meters long, variable in size as they populated the entire region.

At this moment, the ice crystals floating in the air were starting to melt due to some strange phenomena.

Waiting outside, the immortals watched this scene with worry and excitement on their faces, not knowing what to do next. They saw a huge cloud of fog gradually rising. It was an amazing sight. However, as they saw the cloud of fog engulf the icy crystals floating in the air, they became worried.

”Itʼs finally begun,” said one.

”Indeed. It is time to witness the glory of our powers once and for all. Shooting stars that had once had their light dimmed are going to shine bright again.” Said another.

They were many immortals present, offering their opinions full of sighs and wonder. Their gazes were full of respect and expectations. Even those who called themselves ”Immortal Emperors” were full of respect. However, their numbers swelled without end within its bounds; even now, there were some hundreds of them waiting outside these desolate lands.

Without a single deviation, all of them kept their aura reserved.

But at this moment, an Immortal Emperor appeared to have had it enough and flew towards the icy region.

*Bang!~*

Just as that Immortal Emperor neared the icy region, he was suddenly struck by a bolt of lightning, causing him to stagger and tumble back. His expression turned unsightly,

”This is the Heavenly Ice Stasis Valley. From time immemorial, it is said that only candidates could enter it, and it seems that it is true even to this day.”

Someone from the crowd warned, causing that Immortal Emperor to merely harrumph and return to his position.

Everyone saw who he was and became astonished. They were shocked to see that he was from the Vermilion Bird Clan. He wasnʼt an Immortal Emperor but an Immortal Emperor Beast. However, they could understand why he was impatient. It was because the Vermilion Bird Clan had already declined badly that it needed its inheritors back.

As soon as he landed, the clouds of fog began to disperse slightly and revealed a land that was covered in ice.

However, instead of the ice crystals, there were people floating in the air, appearing wet and cold as though they had thawed out from it.

*BZZZZZZZZZ!!!~~~*

Thousands of undulations emerged from the depths of the region, causing the Immortal Emperors to suck in a breath of cold air. Some of them could feel familiar undulations, and some of them hated to be even in the presence of it.

But regardless of what they felt, a sense of marvelousness filled their hearts, causing them to inch closer to the icy region.

”Wait... somethingʼs wrong...”

”Their auras...? Why are they all in the Immortal King Stage? When they arrived here, werenʼt they all in the Immortal Emperor Stage!?”

Suddenly, people started noticing something astray and becoming panicked.

*Whoosh!~*

At this moment, a figure abruptly appeared outside, thoroughly naked. His body was chiseled and built, appearing muscular yet lean. Droplets of water gleamed over his body, giving him a glamorous look. However, the most mesmerizing thing was his member was hanging in front of everyoneʼs gaze, pointing at the heavens, causing countless women to turn away their heads in disgust.

*Bang!~*

A rock directly smashed onto his back, causing him to stagger forward a few steps. However, his expression didnʼt change as she turned to look back, looking at a golden-robed beauty rush past him by his side, causing his eyes to widen with interest.

”Put that sorry thing away and wear some clothes.” The golden-robed woman didnʼt even turn to look in his direction, continuing to move forwards.

”Iʼm sorry. But where should I put it, you say? In you?” The manʼs eyes gleamed.

”By insulting me, youʼre insulting the Earth Dragon Clan, first inheritor, Rocksunder.”

However, the woman simply spoke with calmness, causing the manʼs expression to flicker before he burst out laughing.

”Ahaha! My bad, my bad. So, are you supposed to be the second or...?”

”Second.”

”So whereʼs the third and fo-”

*Bang!~*

Another rock smashed into him, causing him to stagger again. However, he still had his expression composed, even excited, as he turned to look back at the Earth Dragon aura he sensed.

”Dress properly in front of my woman.”

A golden-robed man with two horns on his head warned the naked man with wide eyes. His red-golden hair billowed in the wind, and his countenance was full of heroism, appearing mighty.

”Darling~”

The golden-robed woman before who refused to look at him rushed to the golden-robed man and pounced into his embrace, appearing to be full of joy. The manʼs stern expression also turned gentle.

”Crystia, I missed you.”

”So did I, Noctis.”

Crystia deeply held Noctis as she breathed in his scent, her expression becoming emotional as tears flooded her eyes as it was unknown how long it had passed since their separation.

”Aiyo... the second and third inheritors are such bullies but also softies.”

Rocksunder lightly chuckled at them. His figure flashed with golden light, and he was soon dressed in a golden robe and a crown that made him look like a true emperor, vastly different than his exhibitionist self from before.

His gaze didnʼt even fall on his group as he looked around, seeing that the situation around the region was more or less like theirs.

Passionate reunions, complicated glances, hateful glares, and even sudden battles, including much more, were occurring everywhere as the inheritors stepped out of the Heavenly Ice Stasis Valley one by one.

Undulations boomed, and fights broke out, only to be stopped by their respective powers.

His gaze then fell on his people who came to welcome him, looking at them cup their hands and bow towards him ninety degrees with immense respect.

”Great Ancestor Rocksunder. Welcome back to our Earth Dragon Clan.”

”Good. Raise your heads.” He smiled at them and asked the person before him, who appeared to be an Immortal King, ”Whatʼs your name? You must be the current Patriarch if Iʼm not wrong.”

”Indeed. Iʼm the Earth Dragon Clanʼs current Patriarch, Klavius Rocksunder. I hope I am pleasing to your respectful eyes.”

”Ahaha. Thereʼs no need to be so constrained in front of me. Heh, Iʼm probably weaker than you at the moment.”

Great Ancestor Rocksunder laughed, causing Klavius Rocksunder to blink. The person before him was the founder of the Earth Dragon Clan in the First Haven World, so in truth, not only was his seniority extremely high when compared to him, but he should also be extremely old unless sleeping in the Heavenly Stasis Ice Valley didnʼt age him at all.

He didnʼt know but would expect their three inheritorsʼ cooperation to figure that out, but the most important concern out of them all was that...

”Great Ancestor Rocksunder.... Your cultivation base...” Klavius Rocksunder looked at the first inheritor with worry.

”Ah, I noticed it as the first thing. Iʼm no longer an Immortal Emperor but an Immortal King. Iʼm now at Level Four Immortal King Stage for some reason. However, I could feel it... my strength has vastly improved from before.”

*Boom!~*

Great Ancestor Rocksunder punched out with his fist to the side, causing a resounding boom to echo as space started to crack lightly.

The eyes of the Patriarch and Immortal Emperors alike shot wide as they looked at this might, becoming full of worship.

”Could it be that the rumors that sleeping in the Heavenly Stasis Ice Valley would cause oneʼs strength to soar were true?”

”Seems like it.”

They talked among themselves before cupping their hands and bowing again. To think that their Great Ancestorʼs strength easily surpassed seven levels above in the Immortal King Stage. They couldnʼt help but suck in a breath of cold air.

They remembered that the records stated that the Great Ancestor was only able to cross four levels in the Immortal Emperor Stage, which was a massive feat in itself, but if he was able to cross seven levels in Immortal King Stage, then even if he stepped into the Immortal Emperor Stage like this, it was entirely plausible that his prowess would be six levels higher!

They couldnʼt help but shudder, a wave of excitement making waves through the hearts of everyone, causing their eyes to gleam.

This was a feat only capable by heavenly geniuses who were categorized as monsters and anomalies like strong Divergents, but for inheritors to have such power, it completely leveled the scale of the battlefield, causing them to be full of expectations for the future.

”So, whereʼs the fourth inheritor?”

Great Ancestor Rocksunder smilingly asked. However, it caused the excited expressions of the Patriarch and Grand Elders alike to become stiff as a rock!
