Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1987: Skylark Battles A Lotus

Chapter 1987: Skylark Battles A Lotus

'Two Law Seas…?'

Natalya was even astonished for a second before her excitement to face a new power receded into one of disappointment.

Even if he possessed Wind Laws, so what? Judging from the prowess of that viridian light, it seemed that his Wind Law Sea didn't even reach the realm of Immeasurable Sea, only reaching Vast Sea, so how could he compare to her Ice Law Sea and Yin Law Sea that had both reached a hundred and forty-nine kilometer.

But at this moment, martial energy burst forth from Adlet Rayburn, the image of a radiant skylark directly falling on the icy-blue lotus as it struck. Additionally, soul force surged from his forehead, transforming into a similar skylark but much more powerful than his martial energy.

The cry of a skylark rang out, making Natalya narrow her brows as she found that it was a soul attack aimed at herself. The power of his attack didn't even reach the Ninth Stage, but it served to collapse, no, disrupt her focus, allowing Adlet Rayburn to rupture the icy-blue lotus.

However, his gaze became somber only to see a crack appear before the icy-blue lotus froze it along with his light sword.

*Whoos.h.!.+~*

He appeared in his initial position, unable to believe that he was unable to do anything even after using his Low-Level Martial Sage Stage Cultivation and Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage Cultivation. Using tri-cultivation put somewhat of a strain on his meridians and psyche, but he still was unable to win in that single exchange.

*Bang!~*

The conjured light shard shattered into icy motes like snowflakes, which disappeared into thin air.

"Can I take that as my win?"

Natalya's cheerful voice echoed, causing Adlet Rayburn to wryly smile.

"Now I see why Fairy Ivy Aries decided to give up instead of even trying to mount a challenging battle. Your defense is remarkably extreme."

Because Natalya was going against the Water Laws of Ivy Aries, her defense really couldn't be measured since they were fighting a battle of who has better control instead of overwhelming power. However, this battle directly proved that the destructive prowess that he was proud of wasn't much in front of Natalya's defense that she didn't even need to use Yin Fusion to defend against him.

Since it was the case, he really didn't want to showcase his techniques, but he just wasn't the type to leave after a single defeat.

*Bzzz!~*

Abruptly, thousands of skylarks appeared behind him, transforming into those deadly light swords tinged with silver gleam.

"I couldn't match your prowess, but let's see if I can overwhelm you."

Adlet Rayburn waved his hand, and they shot towards Natalya. The resplendent light of the silvery swords flashed as they shot towards Natalya.

Natalya waved her hands when thousands of icy-blue lotuses emerged from the empty s.p.a.ce surrounding her. Together, they created a tight pocket of lotus flowers, spinning in a beautiful and entrancing manner, but they suddenly flew and were simultaneously pierced by those thousands of swords targeting her.

They aligned to form a blockade, quickly making the region an untraversable s.p.a.ce. Many silver swords pierced the lotuses, looking like they destroyed them. However, all those silver swords that stabbed the lotuses were caught, frozen into shattering before they disintegrated.

The rest of the silver swords that didn't even reach a hundred, appearing towards Natalya was taken care of a single wave by her hand.

Adlet Rayburn's expression was gloomy. Clearly, Natalya wasn't just specialized in one area. Not only could she have a single concentrated defensive technique, but she also used that same technique to split into multiple lotuses, giving her the same edge she had over him.

It might seem easy to control so many energy ent.i.ties, but in reality, it took immense concentration and was not something cultivators who used single-focused attacks were usually capable of. Since her age was less, he thought she wouldn't have much skill in regards to controlling many lotuses with such preciseness, but he was proven wrong. Her lotuses still stopped his powerful swords that were capable of cutting down High-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses like cabbages since they could not block what they could not see or follow yet she managed to do just that.

"Such strong attacks. If I'm not using yin and ice together, my lotuses would be pierced through while I'll turn into a hedgehog myself."

Natalya giggled.

She felt that if she couldn't maintain her defense while using two Greater Laws against Adlet Rayburn, even if he possessed the power of the Silver Radiant Skylark, she should just hang her head in shame. In fact, she felt prideful because she hadn't used her full prowess yet, not in front of Ivy Aries nor him.

Dealing with Ivy Aries had been tricky because she was able to absorb the energy, weakening her lotuses. However, it wasn't the same for Adlet Rayburn, who could only seek to damage her icy lotuses, which was not easy.

Natalya only said a few words to give him face, and as though understanding that, Adlet Rayburn shook his head.

"At first, I thought that I could compare to Yin Lotus Fairy, but it seems that I am wrong. Unlike that wicked path woman who came at me with full force, I won't do such a thing unless I need to, so I'm thinking of throwing in the towel. However, people say that the third time is a charm. If you can withstand this attack of mine, I will admit defeat."

Natalya smiled.

She could sense that Adlet Rayburn hadn't used any powerful and also terrifying techniques of the Silver Radiant Skylark, but it was understandable, considering he was all alone in this world without a backer. Even she didn't want to display all her techniques unless needed to because undisplayed techniques could serve as a trump card between equal-level battles.

Since she had Davis, she was not worried about using terrifying techniques of her Forsaken Yin Lotus Manual, but that's why she also felt respect for Adlet Rayburn to say that he was going to use a technique, one that was probably enough to surmount his prowess a bit or perhaps even a level.

It must be known that the cerulean lotus of Yin Fusion she unleashed wasn't even a technique, yet it caused her prowess to almost jump a level, reaching a level higher than Peak-Level Law Rune Stage. If she actually created a technique while using her Yin Fusion, its prowess would be even more terrifying.

Thinking like this, Natalya began creating an icy-blue lotus again.

Adlet Rayburn's brows twitched. It couldn't be that she was really looking down on him to be using the same technique, right?

Perhaps, she was.

Thinking back, his life was full of peril but also blessed with a lucky encounter that people didn't know about until this date.

It wasn't that he had managed to stay hidden from the eyes of the public, but he had been trapped for a long time in a pocket s.p.a.ce, something even more inferior than a mini realm. It was said these pocket s.p.a.ces were left by immortal experts, and some say it's the same case as Poison Rift Valley's rifts, being stormed by spatial cracks at all times, except more stable.

No matter what it may be, he was stuck in there for a hundred years before the pocket s.p.a.ce was on the verge of crumbling before finally letting him off. But there, he managed to find the Silver Radiant Skylark's inheritance and became powerful.

He came back to the world, sought vengeance on the wicked path, destroying a High-Level Emperor Grade Sect for killing his family and saved a few people of which he had become closer to two women and disappeared from the world living his life with them in seclusion, no longer making a commotion.

The people who knew of him knew grat.i.tude and didn't spread his news, and the ones who investigated mistook him as some great expert from the righteous path, so he was good as non-existent in the eyes of the world.

Now that he was here, he wanted to make a name for himself but found out that there were monsters like him. Originally, he thought he was a monster himself, but his horizons had been truly broadened this time. Until coming here and hearing the gossip of many people, he didn't even know of the Emperor of Death's emergence.

That's how reclusive he was with his life because he had adapted to be alone in that pocket s.p.a.ce. However, after making love with his two wives, whom he saved, his entire life was tied to them. He felt that he couldn't disappoint them, especially when battling a woman who could be said to be on the same level as him.

Taking a deep breath, he raised his hand as resplendent silver light began to illuminate the s.p.a.ce in front of him.
