Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3856 Facing The Dark Horse



Chapter 3856  Facing The Dark Horse

"Your majesty!"

Autarch Yulan Nazarin reached out his hand towards Clara, wanting to save her, yet he was suddenly engulfed in a pitch-black smog. His heart raced as he struggled to see through the thick haze, feeling lost and disoriented as the death energy threatened to enter his body.

Contrary to his calculations, the black smog seemed to suffocate him, making it difficult for him to breathe as he stumbled blindly forward. He had a momentary lapse of judgment from the shock he received, not expecting a mere Level Seven Immortal Emperor to be able to trap him, a Level Three Autarch with extraordinary prowess.

This inheritor, known as Rokushi Mirai, was able to battle with an Autarch of his level.

He turned back, quickly locking onto the source—a strange stone that shone black and released an abominable gas that twisted and writhed in the air, spreading doom. Even the heaven and earth energy around him seem to lose their vibrancy and perish while the fabric of space keeps eroding, threatening to plunge him into the spatial rift below.

Realization dawned on him as he understood the power of this cursed substance, capable of weakening even the strongest of beings like him. With his senses heightened, he knew he had to act fast before the gas consumed him entirely. Steeling himself, he summoned his energy from the depths of his dantian and struck with his fist.

A burst of flames exploded from his fist, engulfing the abominable gas in a blaze of fury. The flames danced and crackled, devouring Rokushi Mirai as though she were a mere doll. As the fire raged on, the air cleared. However, the deathly gas quickly appeared from nowhere, seeking to suffocate him again.

"What!?"

A hand stretched out from the darkness, seeking to destroy him. It reached his throat, but he pulled back and punched out again.

*Booom!~*

The force of his punch created a fiery shockwave that pushed back the hand, dispersing the deathly mist momentarily. With a fierce determination, he focused his energy once more and unleashed another wave of fire with a wave of his hand, pushing back the deadly gas even further. The explosion surged in between them, creating a temporary barrier of protection.

As he caught his breath, he clenched his teeth, turning around to protect Clara.

At the same time, he couldn't believe how Rokushi Mirai was using such a treasure repeatedly, considering it would drain all strength with just one attack unless it was the spirit of the treasure attacking him. However, it unleashed repeated attacks despite him throwing three attacks equaling Level Six Autarch Stage.

By now, it would've lost its energy if the spirit was moving on its own, but it didn't seem one bit weak, still brimming with an insurmountable amount of energy that he couldn't see the end of. Then again, he couldn't probe the true grade of the treasure either, as the death energy completely eroded his senses the moment it neared the stone.

He quickly prioritized saving Clara, knowing he had messed up by bringing her here.

The easy target that was ripe for the taking turned out to be a phoenix in a sparrow's clothing.

He descended, trying to save her from falling into the spatial rift before it was too late.

*Whizz!~*

Autarch Yulan Nazarin waved his hand, creating a protective barrier of flames below Clara and the other two.

At this moment, Clara's magical beast already seemed to have grown into a giant King-Tier Ice Phoenix, doing its best to fly away from the spatial rift. It appeared to be holding up well, but the air of the death energy was also having an impact on it, greatly weakening it.

*Shriek~*

It cried out in terror as it struggled to maintain its flight. Even he was barely holding his sanity in check against this death energy that shook him from the bottom of his soul. Consequently, he decided to quickly retreat. The death energy continued to pursue him relentlessly.

However, he made it to them first.

With a swipe of his hand, using transcendent soul force, he grabbed them all and tried to rush out.

But she didn't notice Davis falling off her wings.

"No!"

Clara shouted, intending to jump.

However, Autarch Yulan Nazarin's energy that shielded her also stopped her from leaving.

Within a second, Xiaolan had already carried them tens of kilometers along the cave path.

Davis landed on the ground as he looked around. As Xiaolan carried them further along the cave path, the ground beneath them suddenly began to shake violently. The cave walls started to crumble and collapse, sending rocks and debris tumbling down towards them.

Davis quickly scrambled to his feet, trying to follow them as the cave continued to collapse around them.

"Since you're here, don't bother leaving."

However, a cold voice emerged from the space around him.

Davis shifted his head and threw a hand. A dagger missed his forehead, but he caught a head, which he crushed underneath the bare strength of his fist, his fingers squeezing through that assassin's eyes.

He instantly cast a soulscour technique, but-

*Bang!~*

The assassin's head exploded, causing Davis to take his hand back. He saw that his bloody palm was now contaminated by some kind of rune.

"Curse Laws…?"

He narrowed his eyes before quickly punching out behind him.

*Boom!~*

An intense shock wave shook space and practically caused a black-robed assassin to be thrown out of the void as he appeared in real space. His senses had just adjusted to the dark area around him, but a fist came ramming through and sank right into his face.

*Bang!~*

His head exploded into a bloody mess before the man who ended it rushed towards the phoenix. However, by this time, the ice phoenix had already left the area, causing him to avoid all the crumbling rocks before he arrived in a relatively safe space.

"Who are you?"

Abruptly, a black-robed figure appeared from the confines of the shadows. They slipped out like a spirit, looking at him with wide eyes that shone with a grayish light.

It was none other than Rokushi Mirai.

"Your senses are honed to the extreme, enough to find these elite assassins whom even I would find it difficult to detect."

"…"

Davis's eyes were narrowed.

He had to admit that she was sharp and intelligent, considering she played the Candidacy well by gaining a unique treasure, arcing her way to the Third Hidden Pagoda that was surrounded by Empyrean Crystal Beasts, and even completing it as she received one or two Gilded Realm Ascendant Pills, of which she must've already digested one and became too powerful, able to defeat Level Two Autarchs or even barely battle Level Three Autarchs on her own.
