Divine Emperor of Death - Chapter 1823

Chapter 1823: Martial Congregation
Davis shook his head, thinking that it was no use to be prying the intention of the inheritor.

At least, he refined a tomb, no, a temple-like construct that was made into a remnant tomb. Judging by its endurance and capability to attack and defend, he found that it was four levels higher than Peak-Level Ninth Stage. However, he wrecked the front entrance formation out of spite and anger, so that was lost. But still, he sensed that there were many other formations embedded into this construct.

A Peak-Level Emperor Grade Concealment Formation, two Peak-Level Emperor Grade Killing Formation to the sides in a hundred and eighty degrees, and one big Peak-Level Emperor Grade Defensive Formation that covered the entire tomb, which was at least five kilometers long and two kilometers tall, capable of flying. However, they were also four levels higher in prowess except for the concealment formation, which was only three levels higher.

Davis felt like he could use it as a mobile base, but he bet that Isabella and Shirley had better constructs to rely on.

‘Hmm… after Shirley gives birth to our child, she agreed to help Clara gain back her right to inherit the Ice Phoenix Immortal Inheritance. I’ll be there to convince the Ice Phoenix Immortal too, so if all goes right, Clara should get the inheritance back.’

With this, Davis felt that there would be three inheritors in their group, which made them all the more powerful to face future threats with ease.

Thinking like this, he had an urge to see them all and share happiness once again as he felt like a burden was taken from his shoulder due to becoming a bit more powerful, but he quickly suppressed that feeling and sat down, taking the three vials of Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Blood Essence.

His gaze roamed over its magnificence.

However, Davis felt a bit confused about what would happen if he absorbed these three drops of immortal blood essences.

His blood was already mixed with the majority of Earth Dragon and Fire Phoenix Blood in his body, while the blood of Fire Dragon was also there but negligible. The latter two was something he obtained from taking Shirley and Zestria as his women, their gentle yin merging with his yang to give him better rates at absorbing them, but this destructive and overbearing aura radiating from the immortal blood essence certainly had him feel doubtful if it would cause problems to his cultivation.

The quantity of blood essences he had absorbed wasn’t enough to make him a fey, but absorbing this blood certainly increased his chances.

‘Well, as long as it doesn’t reach a certain level of danger, Fallen Heaven’s life energy should be able to heal the unhealthy changes to some degree…’

Davis thought as he recalled how it purified Evelynn’s fey bloodline and made her appear more beautiful but wasn’t able to restore her bloodline to the human race. Perhaps it could, but it just wasn’t powerful enough, making him speculate.

‘This is immortal blood, and clearly, current Fallen Heaven’s prowess won’t do…’

He hesitated a bit before his eyes became ruthless.

With a flick of his finger, he opened the lid of the vial and swallowed a drop of Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal’s Blood Essence into his mouth as it began undulating crazily, releasing its energy unto him as it began to merge in an unrestrained manner.

If he was unable to take the energy, his body would explode, especially as he had no contact with this kind of blood essence or help from a person who possessed the blood essence, but with his current soul force’s prowess, he was able to restrain it to a vast degree and started refining. And then slowly, he took the second blood essence and the third, improving his Essence Gathering Cultivation at a rapid pace!

Many people were walking through the wilderness in a certain part of the Fifty-Two Territories, heading to someplace. Many constructs like carriages were carried by magical beasts or driven purely with energy, flying boats drifting through the skies, warships monstrously moving through the convoluted skies, appearing extremely big and magnificent over the plethora of small constructs that moved along with them.

They all came from different directions, but they were all heading to the same location. This kind of occasion has been going on for the past few days, and people could be seen camping around many areas in this particular region, mingling with their own groups.

With most of the powers gathered, one could tell that chaos would ensue, but surprisingly, there were no fights, and even though there was little bickering, there was more enjoyment compared to that as well as an atmosphere of tension and excitement for some as they looked into the distance where a massive structure was built.

It was a battle arena stretching hundreds of kilometers in an elliptical way while covering an area of seven hundred thousand square kilometers, capable of seating millions of people.

The excitement in the air to enter the arena was high, to begin with, but it became more and more infections because it signified not only the end of an era but also the advent of the new era with new experts and powerhouses revealing themselves to the wide world, a few of them possibly changing the fate where the world headed towards.

On a particular corner, a white-red-robed old man looked at the outer walls of the battle arena and was greatly moved.

He was none other than the remaining Ancestor of the Twilight Physician Hall.

There was an ardent glow in his eyes that sought prosperity.

Ever since Ancestor Kain Bloodlife fell from the Emperor of Death’s mystic arts, he found that his power’s destiny was cut off as it was slowly degrading, being harassed by other higher powers, but then, with the blessing of this event hosted in his Territory, he had high hopes for the revival of his Twilight Physician Hall.

And this grand structure dubbed as the New Era Battle Arena brought his power endless riches, further strengthening his Twilight Physician Hall that was on the verge of collapsing. If the Four Great Righteous Sects hadn’t stepped up to aid him with their powerful forces, he really didn’t know what kind of fate he would’ve faced, much less walk alive after the Emperor of Death seized control over the three easternmost Territories.

He waited for the battle arena to open with utmost reverence. However, he also knew that it wouldn’t open without all the hegemons at the same time. With the Four Great Righteous Sect overseeing, he only felt that it was a matter of time before everyone gathered, and even five seconds didn’t pass before he saw the first arrival with his own eyes.

A hundred-meter diameter spherical construct soared the skies as it made its way towards them.

Many people found out that it was the pill hegemon of the Nine Western Territories, the Thousand Pill Palace.

The atmosphere throttled but then instantly became full of fervor as they saw an icy white palace with crystal clear water falling from the curved and edges of the exterior, forming into ice at the bottom before it was sucked into the palace, surging to the top before falling as water as it maintained a perpetual cycle of melting and freezing.

Everyone instantly realized that the palace belonged to the Mystic Ice Sect beauties, becoming charmed by their construct alone that looked one with nature. It radiated a different charm than the pill-like construct of the Thousand Pill Palace, which released a certain aroma that instantly enriched the quality of heaven and earth energy.

It could be seen that both powers were giving it their all to come out on top.

Nevertheless, they were eagerly waiting for the power that almost flipped the state of the Fifty-Two Territories. The upheavals that power brought were nothing short of the Calamity Light itself so far and could even be said to be the sole power that had the most chances to survive it.

Everyone craved to join that power, but it was closed off, and the only one who could allow them to enter was a young individual that they couldn’t hope to meet or look straight in their eyes.

Even though they eagerly waited for them, they were unable to see them. Instead, they saw a plethora of other hegemons appear, their constructs and fleet of warships or abodes appearing to be grander and flamboyant than the others.

The Dual Lotus Manor appeared in a heart-shaped construct with their two leaders standing on the two edges of the heart.

The Pill Refining Sect also appeared in a pill-shaped construct, but there was also a towering palace on top of it.

The Emperor Sword Sect practically all flew on a giant sword that carried them all the way to this place, radiating a sharp might that threatened to stab their eyes but didn’t as it was just an illusion of their fears.

The Soul Palace journeyed in giant flying palaces and abodes as the aura of a vast soul pressure could be felt.

The Jade Lotus Valley appeared in a beautiful five-petal lotus construct and swirled around as it flew, appearing charming like the beauties inside.

The Glorious Pill Palace showed up in a vast pill-shaped construct grander than that of the other two pill hegemons while having numerous palaces as their fleet.

The Burning Phoenix Ridge were all extremely magnificent, flying in a grand crimson palace that was a few hundred meters tall while a flock of Burning Phoenixes blazed with flames as they majestically made their way.

All the Mid-Sized Territories swiftly flew in, and the congregation of their strength, all gathered in one place, shook the hearts of millions of people gathered in this particular region today.

Followed by them, even the main fleet of the Heaven Gazing Villa, Vast Sky Emperor Palace, Astral Light Sect, the Dragon Families, and the other prominent powers in Large-Sized Territories appeared, making the crowd erupt into a huge cacophony of roars and screams.

The bunch of spectacles they had witnessed today had crossed their imagination as they all felt like they were living something many people failed to see in their lifetime!

However, the bustling atmosphere suddenly became silent as they felt an oppressive aura abruptly appear to overwhelm them. When they turned to look, they saw nothing but a black dot in the distance, standing above a grand palace adorned with the patterns of a brownish-golden dragon and its statues all over the walls and the ledges of the palace.

Everyone couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air that some even started coughing as they recognized that black dot was none other than that ominous magical beast that once terrified the hell out of them all, even in their dreams when they had just heard a description of it.

Still, they all recognized that this grand palace was none other than the Grand Alstreim Family!

“Today officially marks the grand opening of the Nine Western Territories Young Expert Competition! Since the hegemons have all arrived, everyone can enter the New Era Battle Arena now!”

A resounding voice echoed, and some recognized this voice as the Mandate Emperor’s voice. However, for most people, they didn’t care as the authority of the voice was grander than anything they had heard before, causing them to erupt.

“!!!!!!”

A deafening roar shook the heaven and earth, completely overwhelming the entirety of the New Era Battle Arena and the surroundings with the massive yet harmless shockwave of cheers!

The upcoming days would decide the fate of their human race!
