Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1960: Myria Descends

Chapter 1960: Myria Descends

Ellia's attractive figure was draped by the icy-blue robe of the Mystic Ice Sect. Her white hair gently swayed as she flew towards the battle stage and arrived along with her two other opponents at their positions.

Davis matched his gaze with Ellia's clear eyes with emotions dwelling in his eyes. The time he spent with her in the past, teasing and laughing, came to his mind, making him understand how he treasured her before he lost her. As he immersed in those sweet reflections of the past through her eyes, he was awoken out of his reverie when he saw her raise her hand towards him again.

However, her hand turned into a fist before she suddenly gestured a thumbs down, indicating that he would be defeated.

Instantly, he knew that it was Myria.

Davis couldn't help but laugh as he saw this scene. That white witch was not even cra.s.s enough to show a middle finger that he couldn't help but find her funny instead of offensive. He then saw her put her hand down forcefully before her brows narrowed.

"..."

To Davis, it seemed like Ellia was berating Myria, not that he could a.s.sume with confidence. However, with Ellia's soul still safe and sound, appearing to still remember him, he felt complex emotions about Myria as it certainly meant that these two souls had a cooperative relations.h.i.+p at the very least, with Myria having more of a say since Ellia was not able to properly talk with him.

If it was just that, he could consider letting Myria off as she hadn't done much harm to him but even helped s.h.i.+rley.

However, until he could verify his a.s.sumptions with his own eyes and senses upon making contact with their soul sea, he refused to believe s.h.i.+rley's words. It wasn't that he didn't trust s.h.i.+rley, but a reincarnator like Myria could easily fool people, not to mention his naive Ellia, even if they are from the same mold.

The matter of Myria being Ellia's previous incarnation was just his and Fallen Heaven's a.s.sumption anyway. If he didn't investigate what kind of existence Myria was, he wouldn't know the truth.

Regardless, was he powerful enough to take a soft approach?

Davis's lips curled, wanting to see what kind of power Myria possessed.

Meanwhile, the two opponents were shocked at the Mystic Ice Sect top disciple's display. Not only them but the entire crowd was shocked.

To wave at the Emperor of Death and offend him with a gesture like that, was this top disciple courting death? She had also done a similar thing back then, but now, they practically confirmed that she was against him.

In the northern hemisphere, the Vast Sky Emperor slightly grinned, having a face that looked like he basically confirmed that this woman was antagonistic towards the Emperor of Death, feeling like he could use it to his advantage.

Above the battle stage, Ellia still had her head slightly lowered, her clear black eyes rippling with emotions.

"Myria, you can look down on him based on your seniority and strength, but you can't disrespect him."

"I'm telling you." A melodious voice echoed inside Ellia's soul sea, "That boy overestimates himself and thinks he can beat us in a battle just because he could suppress these four children and strike fear into the hearts of everyone else. Even if he has the power to control death and some special talismans crafted by his master, he shouldn't be having his ego inflated like this, no?"

"Hmph!" Ellia snorted, "We still don't know the true extent of his strength, but at the very least, it's two levels above Peak-Level Emperor Soul Stage since he could kill the wicked path hegemons. Therefore, say that after I defeat him."

"Fine, fine." Myria's voice became mellow, "I can't quibble with you two juniors. However, if he tries to take advantage of you in a battle, then I'll be forcefully interfering no matter what you say."

"Fine."

The both of them came to a compromise before Ellia raised her head and smiled at Davis, wondering if he could differentiate between the two of them. Since s.h.i.+rley was with him, he should already know a bit about her complex situation, that she was still there, safe and sound.

However, she was worried.

With his character to protect his people, she hoped that he wouldn't do anything to offend Myria that she felt that she had to prove to him that she was still herself and that she could protect herself.

Only then did her gaze fall on her two opponents, noticing that one was from the Pill Refining Sect and the other was from the Glorious Pill Palace. However, he was not a Lanate but someone else. He exuded a faint air of superiority which inherently irked her instincts to put him in his place, but his gaze was not on her but the top disciple from the Pill Refining Sect.

Their fiery undulations were wavering around their bodies, looking like they already had some conflict.

Indeed, the Thousand Pill Palace only looked after the Nine Western Territories and their pill markets. As for the Pill Refining Sect and the Glorious Pill Palace, they clearly had their pill markets in the mid-sized and large-sized Territories, raking in a hefty profit.

If the entire pill markets of the human race were to be considered, then the Thousand Pill Palace merely had a five to ten percent share while the remaining was fought over by the Pill Refining Sect and the Glorious Pill Palace. However, the Glorious Pill Palace had a big appet.i.te and knowledge, so they occupied more than fifty percent of the world's pill market share. Even though they were number one, their greed was big, and they occasionally incited battles with the Pill Refining Sect, so their hatred against each other was plain for everyone to understand as it stemmed from conflicts concerning benefits.

This was true compet.i.tion, alright.

Ellia pouted. Did they think that she was a pushover for them to ignore her?

But contrary to her a.s.sumption, they didn't want to match gazes with her and quickly experience a humiliating defeat. They first had to showcase their prowess, and for that, they could only battle each other.

Quickly, the scenery changed as the Seven Sky Transformation Spatial Formation activated.

The land was filled with ferocious winds, while the sky was filled with fiery flames. It was as though stars were falling from the skies, showering the world with an apocalyptic scenario. However, wind blades below were equally powerful, shredding anything that fell in its range.

The people could instantly tell that it was a dangerous world that could even harm Mid-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouses if they were careless.

Nonetheless, the fiery aura coming from the skies made the two pill cultivators powerful, their prowess showing signs of a greater increase.

Although pill cultivators couldn't compare to cultivators who battle as the former spends all their time refining pills, the power of their flames could not be underestimated as they nurture those flames with numerous Fire Essences. The comprehension over fire couldn't be underestimated either, but it was just that they were lacking battle experience that they were looked down upon by other cultivators when it came to battles.

Even the alchemists admit their own weakness and have bodyguards by their side, so having little battle skills wasn't much of a disadvantage as their explosive power could still be more than a cultivator who only has brains for battles.

In this place, Ellia surveyed her surroundings before a sigh escaped her mouth.

"Seems like our luck is worse to have summoned this kind of terrain randomly..." Her voice resounded in her soul sea when a giggle echoed.

"Our luck has always been worse."

Ellia stepped forward in mid-air and began heading towards them, ignoring the flames that were burning her because, on contact, they just got extinguished.

The people observing were full of praise for her, including the Four Great Righteous Sect Leaders, as they saw that she wasn't using any kind of energy to extinguish those flames. Just her bodily aura seemed to be enough.

They then moved their gazes and looked at the two disciples of the Pill Refining Sect and Glorious Pill Palace met quicker and, without saying anything, struck each other as they threw their flames. Instantly, people saw that the Fire Essences they held were under the top twenty in Emperor Grade Rankings, blazing and powerful. However, their brows couldn't help but twitch as they watched them acting like children throwing s...o...b..a.l.l.s.

Although they unleashed battle skills, their battle was without skill, making them shake their heads.

Crimson flames erupted on both sides, one turning into a tiger and the other a lion as they clashed. Those images were not even stable, displaying the little skill they possessed, but everyone could feel that they packed quite a punch.

*Boom!~*

The explosion caused the Pill Refining Sect's disciple to retreat while the Glorious Pill Palace's disciple wasn't pushed back. Instantly, the people saw that the Glorious Pill Palace's disciple was slightly better. Still, they were shocked to see that his prowess almost reached High-Level Law Rune Stage like Faus Lanate.

Even though his prowess couldn't compare to the utterly humiliated Faus Lanate, it seemed that within this fiery world, he could almost match Faus Lanate, except, if Faus Lanate was also present here, he would be more powerful in this world.

However, the Glorious Pill Palace's disciple seemed to be showing promise that the Venerate Twilight Pill Emperor vaguely mentioned that he could be the Palace Master in the future, but with those words, everyone understood that Faus Lanate had been ousted from his Young Palace Master status. They couldn't help pity those fellow's fate.

Who told him to provoke a disaster?

At this moment, an icy-blue-robed figure suddenly appeared amidst the blazing flames of the Pill Refining Sect's disciple. He was covered in flames, his figure looking like a fiery G.o.d. However, he didn't even notice the icy-blue-robed woman behind him.

"Watch out!"

The Glorious Pill Palace's top disciple yelled atop of his lungs, causing the Pill Refining Sect's top disciple to s.h.i.+ver as he felt his scalp turn numb. He moved when a backhand to his nape abruptly caused all senses to cease.

He had fainted, collapsing towards the sharp wind blades. However, a hand caught his robe, holding him mid-air.

"…"

Countless people appeared shocked.

Did the Pill Refining Sect's top disciple not notice Myria appear in his range? How could he be so foolish? Were alchemists all that careless in battles?

However, the Four Great Righteous Sect Leader and a few Peak-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouses thought it was not that simple. They felt that it had something to do with her movement technique. Even the Glorious Pill Palace's top disciple only noticed her later.

"It's the Mystic Ice Sect's Illusive Mystic Ice Steps. To think that it displayed such intricacies in her hands..." The Mandate Emperor narrowed his eyes before stating a few words from his knowledge.

If they weren't outside and couldn't see the overall projection of the spatial formation, even they might be fooled by her movements.

Nonetheless, since Myria defeated the Pill Refining Sect's top disciple, the spatial undulations appeared and took him away, sending him out.

In the eyes of the crowd, Myria valiantly stood amidst the flickering flames. It seemed that she was smiling while having her eyes narrowed, exuding a confident yet excited demeanor. There were many ripples in her pupils as though she wasn't cold and aloof as she previously had been, making them feel confused.

"Who are you?" The Glorious Pill Palace's top disciple's expression became solemn.

Back then, when Myria had displayed her prowess in the Seventh Stage Segment, everyone had investigated her history and origins. However, they could not pinpoint her origins. She had suddenly appeared in the Mystic Ice Sect, and then their growth followed, not to mention that she seemed to have some kind of hostility towards the Emperor of Death as they seemed to have an unknown history.

His question resonated with the hearts of the people as everyone wanted to know.

Everyone looked at Myria, awaiting her answer, when her lips moved behind her veil.

"It doesn't matter who I am, but I'm still here as a friend. Moreover, I don't need protection, so you can rest a.s.sured."

"…?"

Countless confused faces could be seen while the Glorious Pill Palace's top disciple's expression changed.

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

He felt he was the one who needed protecting as he felt mocked yet didn't dare show it.

If he could get into the third round, his position as the Young Palace Master was a.s.sured by the two Venerate Pill Emperors, but why was he so unlucky enough to meet this monster? He felt despair.

Where were his bodyguards when he needed them the most?

Until Myria appeared here, he was planning to battle with the Pill Refining Sect's disciple and later team up with him to hold the line against her as long as possible to show that he wasn't incompetent, but it was out of expectations for him to see her suddenly appear behind his opponent and make him faint with a single hit.

It seemed that her bodily might was truly at the peak of High-Level Martial Overlord Stage for her to display this kind of prowess.

Nonetheless, the people still couldn't understand what she meant by those words.

However, while others may not understand Myria's words, Davis understood as a bright smile filled his expression.

The tone indicated that it was Ellia who spoke as it was not cold, causing his heart to warm.

However, he couldn't be too sure as that old ghost could con him, making him continue to watch.
