Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 4272 Fortifications

Zestria appeared beside Lereza and Illumina.

She was standing on the head of a Level Nine Immortal Emperor Beast.

It appeared to have a semi-serpentine body covered in crimson scales that shimred like molten lava over the edges. These scales transition from smoldering red to a fiery purple, surging with strange crimson-violet flas.

This dragon-like creature had a sharp, angular face with fearso serrated teeth. Its head appeared to have a crown of horns that curved backward majestically, resembling the flas of a roaring fire. Its serpent eyes glowed with an intense, fiery light.

Semi-translucent, violet veins that pulsed with fiery energy ran through its wings. Its muscular and robust body was supported by four powerful legs, each ending in terrifying claws that could cut through any tal. Sharp, ridge-like spines protruded along its back, each one glowing with a terrifying heat, and beyond the spine was its tail that appeared like a spiked club with how a ball of molten rock adorned its tip.

Zestria was standing on the head of a female Scorchblaze Infernal Hydragon like an infernal queen. She looked absolutely gorgeous as her crimson hair swayed in the winds of the aftermath, and with her Level One Empyrean Stage aura palpitating throughout the heaven and earth as the realm resonated with her, she looked no different than a supre ruler.

"I take it that the Verdant Vale Lower Realm is ours now."

Zestria looked around and saw there were no battles anymore.

Below, the land was bloodied. Hundreds of Heaven's Warriors who remained here to stay were butchered by King and the others. Skylia, Azbel, Pazudu, Gralex, and every one of the Empyrean Beasts appeared bloodied. They were soaked in the blood of the Heaven's Warriors, each one of them appearing more murderous than the other as though they still hadn't gotten a taste of satisfaction.

They were repressed for hundreds of thousands of years, so their anger knew no bounds. They couldn't do anything when Davis was beside them, but now, they were given the command to kill as they pleased, so how could they not take advantage of it?

It filled their souls.

On the other hand, while the scorpion and worm also killed and drank blood to their liking, the Ant Queen and the Ant Overlord never made a move until Calypsea requested them.

Most of them hadn't needed to co here. However, they were sent in case more Venerable Knights or more powerful foes appeared here. Hence, it could be said that they overpowered this location.

"Yes, but we aren't going to extend our reach from this place. We only want the Realm Core."

Lereza nodded at Zestria.

At this mont, Lereza picked up a ssaging talisman. It glowed before it faded, making Lereza smile.

"What happened?" Illumina asked.

Lereza bit her lips, appearing unable to hide her happiness.

"Our sources say that the Divine Emperor of Death took out six Venerable Knights all by himself."

"…!"

Illumina, Zestria, and all the others trembled on the spot. Lereza hadn't exactly whispered this information, so all of them had heard it. Although Calypsea easily oppressed Venerable Knight Foredawn, they understood that he alone could eradicate all of them, leaving only a few behind.

They were scared of him, but fortunately, both Calypsea and the enigmatic Ant Overlord were decisive, one commanding the other to jump into her flas and the other following it without much fear. Otherwise, who knew how long it would've taken to defeat Venerable Knight Foredawn?

But on the other hand, Davis took more than half of them out by himself? What kind of ridiculous notion was that!?

Wasn't their initial plan that Davis would just attract the Venerable Knight away from here, and he would make them chase him around? Was that a lie!?

"Did darling beco an Empyrean?" Zestria's lips parted with amazent, her heart skipping a beat.

Quickly after asking, she realized that wouldn't be possible, or else he would be kicked out of the layer. But then, how was it possible that he managed to defeat six Venerable Knights!?

It must be known that even one Autarch Elluro Coldwing pushed Davis to the corner, and the Venerable Knights were said to be similar existences with just their avatars.

"No," Lereza shook her head, her eyes wide with disbelief, "Sources say he's still an Immortal Emperor."

"Are you sure those sources are right?" King growled from the ground.

"Yeah." Lereza nodded.

Their spies were from the Heavenly Blight Hall, which had a much more efficient intelligence network across the forty-eight realms. Although she didn't like them, they couldn't be wrong unless they were lying.

However, what kind of benefit would be there for them to downplay the Divine Emperor of Death's cultivation base? She couldn't tell.

But still, there was one thing they were wrong about, which was that Mingzhi had taken out Venerable Knight Walritch and not Davis. This makes it so that Davis only killed five Venerable Knights by himself.

The Ant Overlord held his breath, recalling the strange energy that nearly destroyed him and made him feel like retaliation was useless. After a few seconds, he only had one word to define him.

"Frightening…"

"…"

The others also couldn't help but nod absentmindedly.

The Divine Emperor of Death was only growing stronger without an end. It was a terrifying notion, especially more so since they couldn't see his limit.

"What else happened? What about the other two Venerable Knights?" Illumina was the most grounded. Although she was overflowing with joy, she remained levelheaded.

"Ah…" Lereza ca out of her reverie and opened her mouth, "It seems that master ca to an agreent with Venerable Knight Lussandra… and Venerable Knight Damien sacrificed his life to suffer the consequences for the aggression against us and to spare the Heaven's Warriors."

"…"

Nearly everyone's jaws dropped.

A ceasefire with the Heaven's Warriors? Was that even possible?

"What does the agreent state?"

"I don't know. I haven't received word about it, but since the Heaven's Warriors have retreated from the Whispering Wildlands Lower Realm and are making their way towards us, it must be a temporary ceasefire."

Lereza uttered with so confidence, but the confusion in her voice was clear.

The others also couldn't understand. Should they now deal with the incoming reinforcents of the Heaven's Warriors?

In any case, they continued with the fortification of this place.
