Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4073  Goldlust Rat Minor Realm

”Iʼm deeply sorry for this blunder, Heavenʼs Warriors. I am ashamed that I let an Anarchic Divergent and three other people escape. They were all women.”

”Women?”

The Level Six Autarch, who seemed to be the most powerful Heavenʼs Warriors here asked with some doubt.

They only managed to see multiple Empyrean Beasts fighting the Ghostly Crow Realm Master by using their ocular arts. They could tell that it was the same entity even without being able to sense their auras, but to think there were more who were women.

”Yes…” The Ghostly Crow Realm Master explained the events, causing pandemonium to occur.

The female Anarchic Divergent possessed the same strengths as the Divine Emperor of Death? She was able to control life and death energy at the same time.

”This reminds me of a record I read before. It had something to do with a Divine Saintess who turned into a fiend a few million years ago… I canʼt really remember who it was due to the karmic burden…”

The Level Six Autarch uttered as he frowned before shaking his head, ”In any case, did you order the realm lockdown?”

”I relayed the command to lockdown the before leaving. There is no need to worry. We can capture them if they try to leave from most borders.”

”Good. We have sent word to the three major organizations, and thousands of Empyreans and Autarchs will be converging here. Our Mystic Diviners will also come here and divine their hiding place. Fortunately, one of their blood is left here…”

The Heavenʼs Warrior looked at the puddle of blood on the Bloodied Rocky Plains.

However, his expression twitched as he saw the ground, having already absorbed it. It wasnʼt like that when he looked through the ocular arts.

The Ghostly Crow Realm Masterʼs expression sank, ”This is the Bloodied Rocky Plains. The blood of our ancestors and numerous other Empyreans and Autarchs have spilled here and became a toxic place where no flora grew. Now that rabbitʼs blood has fused with the ground, most karmic techniques would fail to find her…”

”We might still have a chance. Collect that entire soil!”

The Level Six Autarch commanded, and the others got to work. Their expressions turned grim.

As time passed, more and more Heavenʼs Warriors arrived and were briefed. It was already five minutes from the time the tribulation ended.

A few seconds later, the Level Six Autarch suddenly got a message. His aura burst as his emotions turned unstable.

”What? Thereʼs another Annihilative Heavenly Tribulation in the Goldlust Rat Minor Realm!?”

”The Goldlust Rat Minor Realm is in between the Three-Headed Hydra Lower Realm, the Deceitful Horizon Lower Realm, and my realm.” The Ghostly Crow Realm Masterʼs expression sank.

”Did they already go there? How!?”

”They must also have rare spatial stones or similar kinds of treasures. Quick, tell all- no, half of our forces to head there! Ghostly Crow Realm Master, please aid us!”

The Level Six Autarch instructed the other Heavenʼs Warriors and cupped his hands, and the Ghostly Crow Realm Master responded.

”Of course. Although I would lose my powers once I leave the realm, that doesnʼt stop me from doing the right thing. In fact, we must hurry as I donʼt think the Goldlust Rat Realm Master would go out of his way to attack the Anarchic Divergent, as all he sees are gold and wealth. The lawlessness in the Three-Headed Hydra Lower Realm extended to his realm as well.”

*Whoosh!~* *Whoosh!~*

At this moment, the Grand Elders of the Ghostly Crow Clan finally arrived, their chests heaving as they tried to catch their breath.

”Realm Master, you cannot leave the realm! Your safety is of the utmost importance to the Ghostly Crow Clan!”

”Letʼs go!”

The Realm Master ignored them and shot towards the northwestern direction.

In fact, the Goldlust Rat Minor Realm was closer to this realm than the Three-Headed Hydra Lower Realm or the Deceitful Horizon Lower Realm. The Goldlust Rat Minor Realm was a great smuggling point for the goods going in and coming out of the Three-Headed Hydra Lower Realm, giving his Lower Realm a real headache. Using this chance, he also wanted to deal with the Goldlust Rat Clanʼs greediness.

The two Grand Elders had no choice but to run after him, but they intended to stop him after he left the realm because the Realm Master would lose his prowess, and they could probably bring him back.

”Why is no one chasing me?”

In the Goldlust Rat Minor Realm, a sparkling arc of lightning traversed across the skies. The lightning eventually lost its color, and a figure clad in purple crimson robes was revealed. It was a black-haired woman who posed a strange question.

Her countenance was majestic, but her brows furrowed as she possessed a hint of suspicion as she slowed down and looked around.

Eventually, she disappeared and reappeared billions of kilometers away. She did this multiple times; each time, the spatial undulations she released barely extended past thirty meters. It was nearly invisible unless one had their senses locked onto the area she was teleporting to.

The woman appeared near a town and disguised herself, turning rather common. She set foot into the city and acted like she was a country bumpkin looking for a job but garnered the reaction of the people who probably received word of her tribulation.

ʼStrange… I had all sorts of schemes set in motion… but it seemed like the past two weeks had been a waste of time if I got away like this…ʼ

A disappointed expression appeared on her face, but that eventually turned into a victorious smirk.

”Little sister, is this your first time in this town?”

”You have a beautiful smile. You should be careful in a new town.”

”Thank you~ Iʼll be careful.”

She nodded at a few passersby in the street and continued to walk before she eventually hit a dead end somehow.

”I told you need to be careful.”

Turning to look around, she saw the same two men sneering at her.

”…”

Zenova Artoria pursed her lips. It seemed like although she had luck with avoiding Heavenʼs Warriors, she didnʼt seem to have any luck avoiding these misfits. It was the same when she was with Evelynn. It was the same when she was scouring danger zones. It was the same when she was scheming in the grand palaces of the Goldlust Rat Clan.

It made her wonder just what kind of fate the heavens had in store for her.

Two seconds later, two dead bodies were on the floor, their corpses unharmed.

She took off, leaving no trace of her.

She eventually arrived in another city and finally found a place where she could receive information.

ʼWhat? The Second Coming of the Divine Emperor of Death? An Annihilative Immortal Emperor Tribulation in the Ghostly Crow Lower Realm?ʼ

She blinked at this strange news that was jumbled. It was too difficult for people to understand, but she could tell right away that it was Myriaʼs tribulation.

ʼSheʼs there in the Ghostly Crow Lower Realm?ʼ

Zenova Artoriaʼs lips curled in amusement. She wanted to head there after creating her own mess in this Goldlust Rat Minor Realm, but it seemed like it was no longer possible since the crow realmʼs security wouldʼve increased. It seemed like she had no choice but to return to the Three-Headed Hydra Lower Realm or visit the Deceitful Horizon Lower Realm.

ʼWell, Iʼll stay here a few days and see how it goes…ʼ

She knew staying in one place was bad, but with the constant harassment she was getting in every town for no reason, she knew it would only be a matter of time before her patience ran out and she exposed herself as an Anarchic Divergent.

She headed to an extravagant inn so that she wouldnʼt be disturbed.

Secluding herself in a cultivation chamber, she began checking her newfound powers obtained from the Nexus Triadveil Clover, which brought down a damn Annihilative Tribulation as she expected it to. After all, it was a treasure that went against the very workings of the universe, creating a space in the Abyssal Mountain Maze that was nearly unexplainable by many powers and many geniuses over the course of eight million years.

She was right to have been cautious about this treasure because it was used for Fate Discarnate Soul Physiques to reach the Empyrean Stage, and Fate Discarnate Soul users could easily defend against the backlash that comes from divining, making it one of the treasures sought out the most by Mystic Diviners.

It was said to contain profound truths of the universe and, hence, could not be obtained by anyone, and if it was obtained and consumed, the user needed to undergo the annihilative tribulation when absorbed. It was a tribulation that came from karmic burden, so it didnʼt interfere with oneʼs own tribulation factor, but still, she was an Anarchic Divergent, so she didnʼt care.

She was proud, knowing not even the Divine Jade Cicada Fruit deserved such recognition from the heavens.

Half a day later, she walked out of the inn, wanting to see what kind of news was out now.

However, she stopped in the street as she saw four women also come to a stop.

Zenova Artoria took a deep breath. She had a feeling she should go out but didnʼt think she would chance upon Myria and her group.

Was it the powers of the Nexus Triadveil Clover?
