Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1939: Not Convinced?

Chapter 1939: Not Convinced?

"The winner of this battle, Zestria Domitian!"

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse echoed from outside the battle as the formation came rumbling down. The raging sea, the islands, and everything inside the spatial formation turned into energy before it disappeared, leaving behind Zestria and Trayn Starchild.

"Thank you for showing mercy."

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse spoke as he clasped his hand towards Zestria while he was beside the fainted Ander Reven, healing him.

If Zestria wanted to, she could've absolutely made Ander Reven's body explode or even cripple him. Ordinary people may not understand the difference in their power levels, but as elders, they understood. It was right for the two of them to team up against Zestria because her body could not be easily injured, and if they couldn't injure her, then they could not win.

"It was quite fun, battling with them but spinning me around using s.p.a.ce Laws caught my ire. Tell him not to use that technique again, especially against a strong woman. She might not be as magnanimous as me~"

Zestria's cheerful voice rang out as she left towards the Alstreim Family's seating area.

Not only Honorable Elder Julian Kruse was astonished, but the other people were too. It could be seen that her mood was good.

Some people wanted to join under the Emperor of Death as slaves now and try their chances.

Was it that joyful?

They felt that they had become crazy to be thinking like that.

Meanwhile, the Starnova Emperor came to get his eighth son personally but started las.h.i.+ng him with whips in front of everyone to their surprise. However, it was not for giving up but having a cra.s.s mouth. Trayn Starchild was let go of with three lashes in the end that everyone could see that the father could not bear to beat the son any longer despite Trayn Starchild's stubbornness to admit his wrongs.

In fact, Trayn Starchild refused to heal the previous scar on his forehead like a delinquent rebelling against his parent.

Once they left, people were still astonished by the Seven Sky Transformation Spatial Formation. It seemed magical, able to conjure anything out of nothing.

In truth, this spatial formation had its core beneath the battle stage. It consisted of Fire, Water, Earth, Metal, Wood, Yang, and Yin Attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources occupying the core of the formation, which was powered by twenty Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources. Collectively, they were able to create so many substances with the help of runes carved all over the formation flags.

Only the formation flags outside were changed as the previous spatial formation was removed replaced with these new ones.

Therefore, when these created substances disappeared, it could be said that they were refined back into energy by the formation.

This way, the energy used isn't lost completely. Perhaps, only five to twenty percent of energy is lost while the rest is returned to the formation core to be used next.

This formation needed to be refueled another time to be able to work for all forty-eight battles, so the cost of it alone was humongous, appearing to amount to forty Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources.

However, these costs were not solely burdened by the Four Great Righteous Sects, but they burdened the majority of them.

Davis didn't know that the mid-sized hegemons had also donated many Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources to the success of this compet.i.tion. It could be seen the righteous path had collectively come together for this occasion, so his donations of Soul Palace's treasures were also gladly welcomed. Combined with his previous actions, it could be said that he was more or less accepted into the righteous path by the people. They saw him as one of them, but of course, some people were still biased, but the majority were already satisfied.

"Although the Emperor of Death is a womanizer, he is still good. Look, the Golden Dragon Queen who was enslaved is now seemingly standing with his women, shoulder to shoulder. His eminence probably accepted her confession…"

"The Emperor of Death is amazing… He even managed to redeem a hopeless wicked path woman, a young mistress at that… Who could do that?"

Such words were said all over the New Era Battle Arena, even though there might still be some unconvinced ones.

When Zestria returned, she was showered in praises from everyone for her battle instincts.

If she wasn't fast enough or self-aware, she would've been forced to use her true cultivation base to defend.

No one in the Alstreim Family saw Ander Reven's karmic attack coming except Davis and Evelynn. However, they didn't spoil it for them, so the others were more than impressed with Zestria, even wanting to learn under her.

Zestria's nose grew in pride from being surrounded by Sophie, Niera, and the others. Especially, Niera asked her to teach movement and defensive techniques, which she nodded to do so at a later date.

With Zestria proving herself reliable and trustable to her sisters, Davis had a faint smile on his face. He felt that they should have more of those banquets together in order to enrich their relations.h.i.+p with each other as clearly, the effects of the banquet were plain to be seen since they all seemed to have accepted her.

Moreover, with Lea Weiss also teaching s.h.i.+rley, Sophie, and Niera, he had little doubt that they would tremendously improve in a short time.

As they chattered away, a few more battles occurred before a partic.i.p.ant from their family was called once again.

[Jeras Orcha]

[Schleya]

[Welch Regalanius]

In a lonely corner stood the blackish-crimson-haired beauty.

Once she saw her name appear, she headed towards the battle stage without exchanging a glance towards Davis and the others. Her movements were graceful as she arrived on top of the battle stage at the same time as her opponents.

One was a handsome man with bright sapphire eyes, his gaze as deep as the ocean. Blue hair flowed down his shoulders, gently laying on his blue robe filled with dragon patterns.

Schleya instantly recognized him to be other than the Young Master of the Orcha Family. Even in the wicked path, he was famous for hunting down many experts.

When she looked towards her right, she saw a white-robed man wearing the robes of the Heaven Mandate Temple. She didn't know who he was but judging by his facial features, she could more or less figure out his ident.i.ty.

The three opponents stared at each other. However, they didn't release their undulations like the compet.i.tors of the first battle. Clearly, they were keeping their true prowess hidden.

Nonetheless, the people possessed odd expressions on their faces as they looked at the Young Master of the Orcha Family.

Jeras Orcha was other than the Water Dragon Queen's younger brother.

But it was said that they had married each other recently…!

How could they marry when they were younger brother and elder sister?

Even though it wasn't harmful like it would be for mortals, it went against their morals. How could one look at their siblings that way? Taking a step back, it would be fine if they had been half-siblings as they would've come from different mothers or different fathers, but the people heard that they had already married and consummated the marriage, making their expressions twitch.

The Ike Family also had done a similar thing, half-siblings marrying and consummating the marriage.

The marriages in the Dragon Families, especially the Dragon Queens', would happen with grand celebrations. However, this matter only came to be known after their marriages had taken place.

They couldn't understand why they would do it so quickly and humbly, but many people had their thoughts.

It was because they were afraid that the Emperor of Death would suddenly change his mind and take away their Dragon Queen. They had hurriedly wed their Dragon Queens to their most pure-blooded suitor.

Nonetheless, this kind of incestual marriage happens in families with a special bloodline. It was to improve their bloodline as much as possible. It was done on this kind of reasoning and benefits, and the Dragon Families were always like this, connecting people with the highest quality bloodline to retain their bloodline purity, so they could only sigh and rejoice at the fact that at least they stopped marriages between parents and their progeny.

But unknown to the common populace, Bylai revealed to Davis that even that kind of matter happened forcefully yet rarely. Even in the Dragon Families, only a certain few knew, and those were family secrets, but knowing these secrets usually led to a strain in the Dragon Queen's relations.h.i.+ps with their fathers. It was intentionally done in order to not let them be taken advantage of.

"I'm not convinced yet."

Abruptly, an icy voice echoed from Welch Regalanius, directed at Schleya. She turned to look at him with her crimson-blood eyes.

"Unconvinced of what?" Schleya raised her brows.

"That you've defected from the wicked path." Welch Regalanius snorted.

"Indeed, I have not."

"…!?"

Schleya simply nodded as though it was a matter of fact, while her reply was swift and unhesitating, causing countless people to flinch from their seats.
