Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3135 Strange White Lightning

"You seem interesting…"

Fairy Thunderblaze narrowed her eyes at the carefree woman who had a blatant smile on her face that could be seen through her semi-transparent veil. The crimson curvature behind the white veil carried a delectable allure, but Fairy Thunderblaze knew what that smile meant as she was adept at the same thing.

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

The carefree woman giggled again, causing Fairy Thunderblaze to reveal a mischievous smile behind her veil.

"I suggest you retreat for your own good."

"Hehe~ That's not for you to say, you ugly woman."

"Now, that's not polite."

Fairy Thunderblaze titled her head lightly, "Watch your impertinent mouth, or I might tear it apart~"

"Oh, so scary~"

The carefree woman reacted, taken aback with her hands over her cheeks, appearing as though she was scared. However, her smiling face still said something else.

Fairy Thunderblaze's lips curled as she knew that this woman was provoking her to the fullest, but such low-level taunts truly tested her patience rather than intrigue her, making her lose all interest. Without even casting her senses at her opponent, she looked elsewhere.

This made the carefree woman's gaze flicker as she came to realize that she was being ignored.

However, she was also interested in another battle, a battle that piqued her curiosity more than this woman, as that battle's opponent had still yet to reveal itself.

"Come out. I know you're there."

The purple-robed man, possessing an enigmatic smile, gestured to the empty space before him after remaining silent for a few seconds.

Instantly, a dark wolf figure manifested before him, a pair of golden eyes staring at him with killing intent.

However, behind that killing intent was utter calm, perhaps some curiosity over how she was discovered hiding as even Late Stage Immortal Emperors would find it hard to locate her if she didn't move even an inch.

"Who are you all?"

Lea Weiss zoomed in, flying towards the woman who maintained a calm, perhaps indifferent soul as she blocked her path towards Zora Luan and the others. Niel Bladeheart and Garoe Rynn reacted solemnly as they took their swords out in that woman's presence, feeling extreme danger, but once Lea was in front of them, that pressure left like the wind.

With the three of them taking on an opponent, it left the man with muscles eying the palace in the distance but also fell on the strange spirit guarding it.

Eldia's brows creased as she stayed in front of the palace, defending Tina and Dalila, who were resting inside. She wanted to battle but knew that protecting her family came first.

On the other hand, Myria and Bing Luli were nowhere to be seen, perhaps having headed into the inner zone of the volcanic region.

Nonetheless, whether it be the Stormsong Family's young leader or the other four, they all came to a momentary stop and looked shocked at Nadia's jet-black figure, her coat shimmering with an eerie blackness that seemed to absorb light itself while adorned by purplish-black wings. Her very aura struck fear into their hearts as she represented something they weren't supposed to come in contact with, especially when they were not used to being around such aura.

"Woah~ This is not what I expected when I heard that there was a death-attributed wolf with you. Why didn't they tell me it was a female wolf? It would even fetch a more significant price than a male death-attributed wolf in an auction!"

The young leader commented with his eyes wide, causing Davis to crease his brows.

The way he viewed Nadia irked him, causing him to be furious. However, his true body had just started ascending, leaving him tied up. If a battle started, he imagined that his soul force would give out before he could defeat the opponent, making everyone else vulnerable with his disappearance.

Therefore, he stayed put but sent a soul transmission.

"Nadia, keep them busy."

He spoke through their soul connection, causing Nadia's gaze to turn deadly as she almost let out a resounding howl in response. Instead, her aura flickered, and before her opponent knew it, she disappeared, leaving behind the scholarly man creasing his brows. His golden eyes sparkled with white lightning as his hair rose, causing electrifying waves of white lightning to spawn around him.

It was quite silent and disconcerting, but it shot towards the empty space with an incredible speed and abruptly struck something, causing Nadia's figure to manifest again.

She growled lightly, feeling the sting as she glared at him, not understanding how she was found again, even though this time she completely concealed herself.

The scholarly man looked visibly astonished.

He had just used a technique enough to kill a genius whose prowess was seven levels higher, but right now, the dark wolf almost seemed like she received no damage.

"It's useless. The heaven and earth energy around us are interconnected, so as long as you remain within this range, you won't be able to hide from us. After all, even if you could hide your aura and erase your presence, you can't stop your heartbeat that sends minute waves."

"Stop my heart?"

Nadia's voice echoed, "I wish I heard that earlier…"

Her purplish wings unfurled, causing the heaven and earth energy around her to turn distraught. It became chaotic, allowing her to weave through it, but this time, the scholarly man wasn't able to see her coming. Instead, he even seemed to be stupid enough to step forward and grin as though he could find her anywhere.

He raised his hands, and arcs of white lightning erupted from his fingertips, streaking toward a direction with an otherworldly speed. The lightning crackled and sizzled, carrying with it an aura of purity.

*Bang!~*

It suddenly shifted directions and struck Nadia's purplish wings, causing her to come to a stop.

"Did I forget to mention that our lightning is quite sensitive and powerful against darkness?"

"…"

Nadia didn't seem amused.

While being concealed in death energy, she didn't need to stop her heart or anything as death itself enshrouded her, making her seem like she didn't exist, but that didn't mean her bodily functions stopped working. However, her body was also death, capable of imitating what was supposed to be a dead state for a long period of time.

It was something natural to her and was her ultimate concealment move, but it failed against this Kingly Monarch who seemed to be almost equal in prowess to her.

*Ripp!~*

Nadia counterattacked, causing a thin wave of death energy to be sent flying against the scholarly man as it extinguished the heaven and earth energy in its path. The scholarly man's heart sank as he had never experienced this kind of attack being thrown at him, but he maintained his calm, his hands dancing and forming a net of white lightning before him.

*Booom!~*

The lightning finally made a terrifying sound as the collision of their powers resonated like thunder, shaking the air in the area.

*Bzzzz!~*

Once the lightning net stopped the deathly slash, the scholarly man sent more lightning strikes without a stop.

Each bolt of white lightning struck the wolf's form, illuminating its jet-black coat in stark contrast. The air itself seemed to vibrate as though torn between the forces of good and evil that clashed upon this collapsing realm. Their battle extended to other areas, even infringing upon Fairy Thunderblaze, who had just finished her probing attack against the mischievous woman.

While the lightning attacks were fierce and furious, there was an unsettling absence of sound, as if the world held its breath in fearful anticipation until it reached an end. In this eerie stillness, the death energy that the wolf emanated became palpable, exposed by the sacred light of the white lightning.

It wasn't concealed anymore, causing the scholarly man to be able to dodge her attacks.

Their battle waged on as they moved at high speeds. The air itself seemed to tremble under the weight of these conflicting energies, creating an atmosphere of tension that bordered on surrealism.

However, Davis remained quite indifferent as he knew Nadia was still keeping it a hundred to protect his words. She wasn't serious because she was using her Essence Gathering Cultivation now, which was secondary to her. Moreover, he could see that she was enjoying this battle as her emotions resounded with delight in his soul sea.

*Boom!~*

A meteor shower rocked a volcanic mountain, but it was none other than Lea's attack.

Her crimson flames amalgamated into thousands of small droplet-like wisps and rained down on the indifferent woman, causing her to be buried in a shower of flames. The ground trembled with each hit, creating a cacophony of destructive sounds.

"Where are you aiming?"

As the dust settled, an indifferent voice echoed, causing Lea's gaze to flicker as she turned to look in another direction and saw that the indifferent woman she faced shifted through lightning like she was a spirit.

And just as Lea expected, the woman's white hair began to elongate and turn into thousands of arcs of white lightning that didn't even shudder. They were like white snakes extending out of her head, intending to swallow her whole as they shot towards her with an incredible speed.

"Stop!"

At that moment, Davis broke through the surface and appeared with Sophie and Bylai, causing the young leader of the Stormsong Family to finally react.

"Well, well, well~ There's your true body, but isn't it audacious to show up on the battlefield with two women in your arms like that?"

He slowly moved, inching towards Davis, but the latter merely let go of the two women in his arms before his lips moved.

"I don't want to needlessly offend an Upper Realm, so this is your last chance to leave with your tails between your legs. If not, suffer the consequences."

"You sure do know how to bull-"

The Stormsong Family's young leader's expression suddenly underwent a change. He had just blinked, but he knew that this person, the Emperor of Death, moved swiftly like lightning and closed the distance like a ghost. He was sure he had dodged the weapon the Emperor of Death took outside to slice him but looking down, he saw his stomach carved, blood dripping out as pitch-black energy seemed to have embedded itself on his injury.

Turning to look back, he saw the Emperor of Death's flames wisp with flames while he held a white rod that curved into a pitch-black blade at the top end, causing his heart to shudder.

"Gather!"

He roared out, causing the other members of his Stormsong Family to quickly turn into a streak of lightning.

Even the burly man who had just reached the palace to wreck it shot back like an impenetrable flying boat.
