Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 5180: Looking The Other Way?

“What am I doing here?”

Davis gazed at the Celestial Transcendent with an odd look, “What do you think? Am I here to collect the death toll? Am I here to deal with the Galaxy Wormhole? Or am I purely here to confuse you since I have something really evil planned in the backdrop of the Galaxy War and the Desolate Era?”

He flicked his sleeves as he spread his hands, causing countless souls in the battlefield to pour into him.

The Celestial Transcendent’s gaze flickered.

This brat was indeed capable of absorbing and refining soul essences that were bound for the reincarnation cycle, but many here were already at the Autarch Stage and Primarch Stage. Unless they planned for reincarnation, it would be very difficult for them to reincarnate, although the Reincarnation Dimension would be more than pleased to take the soul back to refine them in ways he couldn’t be sure of.

However, the Divine Emperor of Death was completely going against the tide, taking the soul essences all for himself.

He saw his reincarnation wheel appear, and the range drastically widened.

Powerful souls began to pour into him even though he was just an avatar.

The Celestial Transcendent’s lips curled, “You sure you want to talk to me like that?”

“Hehem.” Davis brought his hand back as he coughed and turned to look towards the Galaxy Wormhole, “I get it. You don’t want me to deal with the Desolate Era since you’ve killed my main body once, so how about letting me deal with the Galaxy Wormhole? You and I both don’t want this thing here to allow outsiders to enter, right?”

“…” The Frostcloud Sword Empress’s gaze flickered. Davis was killed once?

It seems everything was going according to plan.

“Why? You’re afraid we eight galaxy rulers will gang up on you?”

“Of course.” Davis nodded as though it was a matter of fact, “No matter how confident I am, I can’t deal with seven more of you. That’s ridiculous. I would suffer with just you and the Hell Hydra Monarch.”

“On the other hand, if the seven other rulers come here, you can bid farewell to the human race and their hegemony in the Upper Realms and Lower Realms. We, the human race, have already shown them how to take over a Galaxy. Plus, you sent all those Divine Exalts away who can’t wait to take revenge against you. They will help the other races just copy us and overthrow you in the end. Even if they can’t defeat you, there would be more suffering to come for the people you wanted to give peace.”

The Celestial Transcendent suppressed a laugh, “Do you honestly think that we’re that helpless?”

“I don’t.” Davis shook his head, pausing for a second, slowly saying, “I’m sure we have many experts and even replicas in place. However-“

“Our human race- I bet we don’t have any Primeval Law Treasures, do we?”

“…”

He suddenly sent the Celestial Transcendent a soul transmission, but the latter’s expression didn’t change at all.

Davis intently stared at the Celestial Transcendent’s face before sighing, “You’re quite unreadable, but if there isn’t, I suspected as much. I mean, if we can take over a Galaxy as a young race, then I’m forced to think that this Galaxy already didn’t possess a Primeval Law Treasure, or they had the Tablet of Life and Death that disappeared along with the Thread Essence of Karma. Even if I’m wrong, it still constitutes one of the primary reasons why we’re the only ones getting warred against constantly. The Celestial Transcendent Galaxy – such an easy target, but you’re always holding the fort. Haven’t you gotten tired of it lately?”

“Hahaha…” The Celestial Transcendent appeared to be no longer able to suppress his laughter.

He stared at Davis with an amused expression, “You Enigmatic Heart Law users are indeed scary, trying to sound out and hoodwink even the Supreme Ruler. I thought there wouldn’t be a bigger scoundrel than the Sky Word Emperor, but you might just surpass him in the future.”

“…” Davis smirked, but before he could reply, the Celestial Transcendent continued.

“Bringing back the conversation, this wormhole stabilizing and remaining open is due to Heaven’s Will. The Galaxy Wormhole only appears during the Desolate Era, so to close it, you first need to end the Desolate Era, which gets us back at the same conundrum- ending you first.”

“Come on, there’s no need for that.” Davis shrugged as he turned to look towards the five Peak Exalt Beasts surging towards him.

“Who told us we need to close the wormhole?”

Davis’s lips curled, “Besides, if I actually escaped to the other side, wouldn’t you be overjoyed?”

“Well, be my guest. You would absolutely get destroyed by the cunning bastard on the other side, and probably meet a fate worse than death. His poison is not even I can handle properly. Once caught-“

The Celestial Transcendent shook his head before he sighed and left.

“No wonder you blew up your avatar on the other side.”

Davis raised his brows as he chuckled. With a wave of his hand, the six generals he picked rose to the skies.

The corpses of the golden-armored middle-aged man, elderly lady, Silentshade Phantom Wolf, Venomspine Great Basilisk, and the ghost of a middle-aged woman shot towards their targets.

Only the ghost of a young woman remained.

He could sense that all five of them were True Exalt Beasts, which meant they fulfilled two requirements – being Emperor-Tier and then having the bloodline of a Grand Ancestral Rank Magical Beast.

Of the five of them, three of them looked nearly the same as Realm Master Felza Nyssadra. They were undoubtedly Nine-Headed Hydras.

On the other hand, the one with the nine heads and a long eastern dragon body instead of a quadrupedal body appeared to be a hybrid between a dragon and a hydra, a Hydragon.

As for the last one, along with the nine heads of the hydra, it possessed a bipedal body like a human.

He had no idea what the fuck it was since it was creepy to look at.

Nonetheless, with all of their cultivation base at the Level Two or Level Three True Exalt Beast Stage, one might feel they could be dealt with, but he didn’t underestimate them at all. He could sense they were all suppressing their cultivation bases to be here, which meant-

“Are you all Realm Masters?”

Davis asked them, thinking his undead force wouldn’t survive their onslaught.

The Realm Masters didn’t instantly attack.

They narrowed their eyes, waiting for the Celestial Transcendent to leave the battlefield, but watched many Heaven’s Warriors of the human race rush towards the Divine Emperor of Death. They totally ignored the undead generals that appeared in front of them.

“Human, come to this side. We won’t make it painful for you.” The Hydragon opened one of his ninth mouths and said.

Davis raised his brows as he now felt the true prowess of these hydras with that aura booming at him.

His Illumina was also a True Exalt Beast, but she couldn’t compare to these hydras at the moment.

Their bearing, experience, and authority were all showing even without them having to speak. If they were Realm Masters, he guessed they had enjoyed their rule for hundreds of millions or even billions of years. Their true cultivation bases were indeed at Level Seven or even Level Eight True Exalt Beast Stage, but the fact that they had to suppress themselves to Level Two and Level Three True Exalt Beast Stages meant that their prowess was nine or ten levels higher!

On the other hand, even with the Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill, his Illumina barely reached ten levels higher.

‘Their progeny inheritance is showing… their parents are all Realm Beast Stage Nine-Headed Hydras. One of their parents might even be a Paragon Magical Beast Hydra!’

Countless thoughts ran in Davis’s mind before he sent the Frostcloud Sword Empress a soul transmission.

“I’ll have to trouble you to deal with them.”

“Isn’t that why I am here?”

The Frostcloud Sword Empress finally drew her sword, “But are you sure the Celestial Transcendent won’t attack you from the back?”

“Unlikely, for he also wishes this wormhole to close more than anyone.”

Davis raised his hand and pointed, “Crush them, my undead generals.”

Instantly, the four corpses and a ghost rushed towards the five Realm Masters, instantly closing the distance since they were already closer.

When they pounced like a wraith against the giant silhouettes, the hydras also struck back with their water that blasted them off like they were water cannons. Deep, dark-blue oceanic water with mountainous strength struck the corpses and even the ghost.

However, they practically rushed through it.

“What!?” The five Realm Masters were shocked as at least one of their nine heads shouted.

These corpses were merely Level Eight Exalt or Level Nine Exalt, with their prowess not even reaching one or two levels above higher. They knew it because they had personally killed some of them or watched them with interest for passing time, but these damned undead suddenly displayed the strength of a near-layer limit expert, absolutely shocking them.

The golden-armored man let out a terrifying punch with a furious howl, its cadaveric golden fist aimed at Realm Master Daimmune Nyssadra.

The elderly woman stabbed with her long spear, the spearhead rushing towards the Nine-Headed Hydra with the bipedal body.

The Silentshade Phantom Wolf struck with its claws, only to suddenly disappear and trip a Nine-Headed Hydra Realm Master with its tail. The Venomspine Great Basilisk spewed a mouthful of cadaveric venom and struck with the long serpent tail while the middle-aged ghost shrieked, her agonizing and wrathful countenance elongating as she tried to swallow the hydra whole into a cavity the shape of a cauldron.

The five Realm Masters were pushed back simultaneously, their mountains forms stumbling and crushing many of their own allies underneath their massive weight.

For a moment, the battlefield became once again silent while the Celestial Transcendent also turned around to give a second look, his eyes filled with restrained shock.

Davis chuckled with a smug expression, “My main body can’t reach here, but the range of the white stone replica sure is far-reaching…”

“…”

The Frostcloud Sword Empress turned speechless.

From his words, it seemed like the white stone he obtained recently managed to raise the prowess of these undead by many levels!?
