Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3686 Increasingly Dangerous

"Now then…"

After having spread out, Isabella looked at the spheres flying around her.

For some reason, she felt that the number of spheres flying around had considerably increased than five minutes ago. Or was this increase because she was near the inner region of the island?

In that case, would there be more in the core region of the island?

Isabella couldn't tell unless she went and looked at the edges and the core of the island.

However, first things were first. She had to capture these small critters before exploring the island. Out of the thirty-one remaining participants, some may have already successfully captured at least one, like Hayley.

'Alright, I lost a lot of immortal essence energy, so I'll go after the martial sphere then…'

Isabella readied herself to lose some limbs.

After all, she was done less than fifty percent of her immortal martial energy while on the other hand, she still possessed a lot of blood essence and limbs to spare.

She concentrated her martial energy at the center of her fist, making it lighter and softer as possible instead of making it denser. She imagined the feeling of being free instead of wanting to have it all to herself as though carrying the weight of the world. Her imagination consisted of feathers swirling around her fist without the slightest sway in their trajectory, like they were spinning around her in perfect orbit.

*Gasp!~*

Isabella suddenly came out of her reverie as she inhaled a deep breath.

The brownish-golden revolving around her fist in a serene manner abruptly dispersed.

Isabella blinked, having found herself focusing for two minutes straight without having taken a single action. She was covered in perspiration, but she didn't seem disheartened. In fact, she seemed delighted to be able to apply the practicality of yin to her brute strength.

It was the thing she was worst at, but she seemed to have found the right balance for it.

She closed her eyes and enacted the same, feeling her immortal martial energy revolve around her fist so smoothly. The then opened her fist, revealing a palm and kept that same energy flowing around.

She envisioned the method Hayley used and opened her eyes.

Her heart was serene, and her muscles were relaxed, remaining absolutely calm yet ready to pounce.

The ruby sphere she had locked on before was nowhere to be seen. Instead, there were a few other ruby spheres nearby. She locked on one of them and pounced into the air, gliding into the air as she came to a stop before it.

Her hand reached out as she extended her palm out, producing the lightest and slightest amount of energy possible that wouldn't even harm a mortal baby. All it would do is sink into their skin and rebound.

Such a tiny and soft energy was unleashed.

*Booom!~*

But the ruby sphere exploded regardless, and Isabella dropped to the ground, landing as she saw her right arm having exploded up to the torso. Due to the utter concentration she had in controlling her immortal martial energy, she didn't have any barrier put up, so her face and clothes were full of her blood right now.

Her lips twitched from the glaring pain sweeping through her right arm, but she didn't care about it and only lamented the loss of blood essence. However, since this wasn't her main body, she really didn't feel down.

Nonetheless, blessed with Emperor-Tier Earth Dragon Blood, her arm began to regenerate slowly. She would need five minutes to regenerate her arm at the very least and that was too slow, so she had to move towards Frostrose to get herself healed.

"Frostrose, please heal me."

Frostrose turned to look at Isabella and smiled lightly, raising her own arm as it appeared out of her sleeves.

"…"

Isabella blinked. It seems Frostrose has also tried to subdue a ruby sphere but failed. But that also meant-

"Have you succeeded in subduing the sapphire sphere and white sphere?"

Isabella asked, causing Frostrose to nod as she brought her other arm out of her sleeve and displayed a sapphire sphere.

"Wonderful." Isabella's expression lit up, "To have subdued a soul sphere, it wouldn't have been easy."

"Yes, I got my soul injured four times before I was able to succeed. If it weren't for my nirvanic soul, I would look quite miserable…"

Frostrose kept the sapphire sphere back inside before she reached out her hand and began healing Isabella's arm. Isabella also used her earth energy to increase the rate of healing. She once possessed a Spirit Attribute Source that had healing capabilities, so she comprehended healing using Earth Laws, but that wasn't effective at her current level.

She made a mental note to learn healing abilities without having to rely on sacrificing her blood essence.

"What about the white essence sphere?" She asked.

Frostrose didn't open her mouth but glanced in another direction.

Isabella followed her gaze and saw Flamerose avidly trying to subdue the white essence sphere. She tried to control her energy through applying yin force but her nature and energy was too fiery in nature, making it harder for her to get it under control.

"She seems to have it hard…"

"Yes," Frostrose responded, "She kept failing at subduing the sapphire soul sphere even after I taught her some tricks, so I told her to go try her chances at the white essence sphere. Since she is taking care of that, I'm here trying my chances at subduing ruby martial spheres."

"I'm not against it. As long as we can find the correct methods to subdue the sphere and share, all would be good."

Within half a minute, Isabella got her right hand regenerated, so she left and began to try her chances again.

*Booom!~* *Booom!~*

Even having felt that she did better than the last time, Isabella failed two more times and got both her arms exploded.

*Booom!~*

She didn't give up and kicked it, getting her leg blown up too.

With only a limb, she glided back to Frostrose, appearing stern yet also embarrassed.

"If you're going to be like this, I won't be responsible if he yells at me."

Frostrose could only shake her head. She called Flamerose to come, and they both healed her together, which took less than a minute.

Isabella was shocked to see Flamerose perform healing capabilities using her phoenix flames. Of course, the phoenix's nirvanic fire was capable of healing, and even rebirth wasn't off the table. However, learning to heal using nirvanic flames was another thing altogether.

One was a species' passive trait, and the other was comprehending a technique.

Flamerose was a magical beast, and magical beasts wouldn't know how to use techniques most of the time, so this came as a surprise to her.

Nonetheless, getting healed in a minute, she went back and started using yin force on her earthen martial energy to subdue the ruby martial sphere.

*Booom!~* *Booom!~* *Booom!~* Standing on one leg, Isabella appeared a bit demotivated.

'It's no use… my earth dragon might is too domineering for it to listen…'

Even if she could control the serenity of the energy, once it was used, they turned into ridiculous tyrants as they sank their teeth into their opponents as though wanting to overwhelm them.

Such a ferocious and mountainous might cause the ruby martial sphere to explode.

At this rate, she didn't see herself being able to subdue the pigeon egg-sized ruby sphere.

She went back to get healed.

"Yes! I did it!"

At this moment, she heard Flamerose cry out. She appeared to have subdued the white essence sphere, leaving Isabella both pleasantly surprised and disappointed for being unable to subdue the ruby martial sphere.

*Thump!~*

But suddenly, a plethora of spheres suddenly shot out from the ground.

"…!"

Isabella, Flamerose, and Frostrose had their eyes widen at the sudden intrusion of the new spheres. However, what's surprising is that these new spheres were of different sizes.

It was the other two types of spheres: one fist-sized and the other head-sized.

The fist-sized spheres moved slower than the pigeon egg-sized spheres. On the other hand, the head-sized were even slower, moving at a snail's pace compared to the other two types of spheres.

"Haha, mine!"

Someone in the distance tried to subdue a head-sized martial sphere. He attacked it with a soft layer of crimson energy covered around his arm. Judging by his confidence, he seemed to have subdued a pigeon egg-sized ruby sphere, but as soon as his attack landed-

*Booom!~*

His entire right arm shattered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, seeming to have lost a significant amount of blood essence.

*BOOOOM!~*

Unluckily, there was a head-sized ruby sphere nearby that got covered in the crimson cloud of gas that appeared, which caused half of his body to explode. Half of his right shoulder was gone, and so were his two legs, perhaps even the third, leaving him with only his head and torso.

He lay on the grassy area that was full of his blood, appearing to gasp for breath as he spat out blood repeatedly.

"…"

Isabella, Flamerose, and Frostrose looked at each other.

Not only were the bigger spheres more powerful in causing damage, but they also appeared to have a chain reaction, exploding the same colored sphere if the cloud that was released upon explosion were to come in contact.
