Divine Emperor of Death

Davis, Nadia, Mandate Emperor, and Karmic Guardian Emperor all left the Heaven Mandate Temple and made their way towards the Alstreim Family, easily penetrating through the fog sealing the Territories. Davis merely wanted to show them his soul prowess in order to make them aware of his capabilities so that they wouldn't dare hurt his lovely sister and aunt, but they were hasty enough to follow and aid him to pave the way.

At the same time, the Karmic Guardian Emperor appeared a bit embarrassed before he finally sent a soul transmission to the Mandate Emperor.

"Uhm, brother Regalanius. Before, I ended up bragging from anger which is unlike me, but what are we doing exactly? If what he is saying is true, aren't we playing right into his hands if we allow our powers to be controlled by his kin, which is the same as letting him control our powers?

"I don't think this is much of a problem. Benefits come with risks. Besides, the benefits this time are too much for us to throw away, not to mention that we originally wanted the Emperor of Death to join our righteous path. Don't you think this is a good opportunity to pull him to our side?"

"That's right... if his little sister and little aunt join our powers, he will surely help us in times of crisis, at least, according to the information we heard about him. Besides, we will become extremely close that the wicked path won't dare to attack us. Brother Regalanius is extremely wise."

The Karmic Guardian Emperor imperceptibly nodded his head.

'Oh, they're discussing...'

Davis found them exchanging soul transmissions suddenly after breaking through the Alstreim Family Territory, but he didn't mind. Quickly, they arrived in the Grand Alstreim City.

The people guarding the Alstreim Family were shocked to see the two grandest characters of the Four Great Righteous Sects appear with their Emperor of Death.

What was going on here? They couldn't understand.

They thought the Emperor of Death could be another character in disguise as they blocked their path, but then, noticing the death aura from the woman beside him, they all went on one knee as they bowed and clamored.

"Your eminence, please forgive us!"

"Well done. If we bring individuals like them to our home, don't forget to check if the one bringing them is real or fake."

Davis became impressed with the four guardians in front of him out of the twelve, posted on all twelve directions of the Grand Alstreim City, as well as attached to a few individuals of importance. They wore various robes and possessed numerous distinctions just with hair and eye color and appeared to be humans, but they were not.

"Seems like the Alstreim Family's alliance with the Magical Beast Sanctuary is advancing smoothly."

The Mandate Emperor spoke, causing Davis to look at him and nod.

"Magical beasts are more trustable than humans."

"I would beg to differ as there are conniving magical beasts like the Cyan Soul Rat and many others."

"I said more trustable. I did not say they were entirely trustable."

They stared at each other, appearing to stick to their own opinions.

Davis shrugged before bringing them to the Purple Guest Palace. They stepped on the newly built platform where the marriage between him and Shirley took place before catching sight of two beauties walking out of the corridor.

Both had dazzling purple eyes, one appearing cold yet mesmerizing and the other appearing gentle and charming. They had similar features and looked like sisters when they stood side by side, especially so as they wore white robes of the same mold and pattern.

The Mandate Emperor and Karmic Guardian Emperor nodded as they smiled at each other. There were no flaws to their beauty but did they truly have the constitution that the Emperor of Death spoke of?

"Clara, Tia. These two old men are doubtful if you two possess unique physiques. Can you show them your cultivation as well as your uniqueness for them to witness and be awed?"

"Yes~"

Clara didn't have any hesitation whatsoever as her eyes began to glow with a mysterious purple light. The Mandate Emperor's pupils dilated into two thin slits as he saw this scene while at the same time, a transparent domain encased all of them, appearing no different than thin air as though it was a gaseous state.

However, the pressure and aura he felt from the blonde-haired woman with an indifferent expression left him struck with lightning inwardly as his body trembled.

"A Perfect Domain of this level using Mandate Laws...?"

Looking around as he observed the five-kilometer domain, the Mandate Emperor appeared as though he was at a loss for words. The domain he had conjured was also a Perfect Domain, but it was nowhere near five kilometers, much less three as it was two thousand and two hundred meters in radius.

However, the thing that made him truly shocked was that she probably had little to no resources that supported her Mandate Laws into creating this Perfect Mandate Domain.

'As expected of a character with the Transcendent Truth Eyes favored by the heavens...'

The Mandate Emperor could only sigh before his eyes shone with a respectful light at Clara as he clasped his hands towards her.

"Young Miss Clara has my deepest respect!"

The next second, he turned to look at Davis.

"Bring out the Blood Soul Contract."

"Brother, what is this?"

Clara had no idea why these people were checking them out. She recognized their robes as people from the Heaven Mandate Temple and Heaven Gazing Sect but didn't recognize their faces because it wasn't widespread, for it would be blasphemy if someone found out that they were distributing their faces.

Tia also appeared hesitant, and seeing Davis smile at them as though he was making a deal with them made her feel uncomfortable as Clara. However, believing in her big brother, she bit her lips and circulated her energy. A keen light shone in her eyes as Peak-Level Law Seed Stage undulations emerged from her body, but other than that, nothing of significance could be seen as her unique energy stemming from her constitution undulated.

However, the Karmic Guardian Emperor's eyes flashed with a starry light before he saw the manifestation of a crimson turtle shell with numerous lines adorning it that resembled threads, appearing to protect her as it encased her in its magical aura.

'That is... a Daedalian Guardian Turtle that is four meters tall!? Isn't that the Karmic Guardian Physique of the fourth level...!? How could it be possible that she has it...!?'

Davis remained silent as he didn't answer Clara but noticed their expressions. In their reactions, the Karmic Guardian Emperor appeared more shook than he should be, causing Davis to notice an abnormality he felt that he should investigate.

"What's wrong, Karmic Guardian Emperor? Find anything special about Tia?"

The Karmic Guardian Emperor raised his hand and pointed at Tia, causing her to blink.

"She... she has a fourth level Karmic Guardian Physique..."

"What about it?"

Davis looked confused, unaware of the significance, but the Karmic Guardian Emperor's fingers shook, causing him to further narrow his eyes.

"That... that can only be obtained by overcoming a Destructive Heavenly Tribulation that's four levels higher or being bathed in a nurturing heavenly tribulation with enough yet immense karmic virtue. She... she can battle Peak-Level Law Manifestation Stage Cultivators like this and deal with the Heart Demon Tribulation with ease...? How under the heavens-"

The Karmic Guardian Emperor's body shook as he looked like he was going to faint before he took a deep breath and shook his head, his white hair flailing in the wind.

"This young miss is too prodigious than my founding ancestor who had a third-level Karmic Guardian Physique while mine is just at the first level! My presence is completely inferior in front of her Karmic Guardian Physique that I say she commands immense respect from me!"

The Karmic Guardian Emperor became emotional rather than jealous to see a person with a similar physique that was mocked to have little prowess to reach such height! In his eyes, this scene was essentially a rebirth of this Heaven Gazing Sect blooming into a glorious future!

"No! It wasn't me!"

Tia's cry instantly caught their attention as they looked at her shake her head with intensity.

"I am nothing! It was big brother who faced the tribulation in my stea- AH~"

Abruptly, she closed her mouth, realizing that she had made a mistake as this information was supposed to be a secret. Her purple eyes shook as she felt miserable before she hurriedly kneeled.

"Forgive my-"

However, a person appeared in front of her and caught her arms, making her freeze while the Karmic Guardian Emperor and the Mandate Emperor appeared shook for another reason as they gazed at Davis holding Tia from kneeling.

"..."

Did that young miss just say that the Emperor of Death faced the Destructive Heavenly Tribulation in her stead? Or... did they, Peak-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouses, mistakenly hear her say something so absurd?
