Divine Emperor of Death

Lereza and Calypsea were on their way back after dealing with the Realm Core's spirit when they managed to contact Fenren halfway.

They learned that they flew away in another direction after exiting that valley. It made Lereza sigh in relief as she could guess what else would've happened if they hadn't changed directions.

If Illumina hadn't changed directions, then they would've been caught by Realm Master Thousand Windblades, and Fenren and the others would've perished. They wouldn't be able to fulfill one of the objectives, and the loss of their people would've been a huge hit. The mission would've failed, and she would have had no face to show in front of Davis.

Fortunately, that didn't happen.

Still, they were shocked to learn Illumina's clone had been aboard. Lereza had a faint hint of Illumina's presence, but she didn't go as far as to rely on it when making plans. Fortunately, with Illumina together with them, she calmed down and began to expand on what to do next.

She first caught up with them and proceeded to head towards the point where the other two teams were fighting them. Since they lacked a flying ship, their speed was slow, but fortunately, Fenren stopped and waited for them to pick them up.

With the flying ship, they were able to use the spatial warp mechanism to cross great distances.

"Calypsea, don't try to go through the void after breaking space. It is very dangerous."

Lereza berated her, "I will make sure to report this matter to your master Lea."

Calypsea raised her hand and protested, "You can't say it to both my masters. Otherwise, I will hate you."

"Then you don't hate me for not allowing you to eat the Realm Core?" Lereza asked.

"Mhm…" Calypsea pouted as she made a circle with her thumb and index finger, "Maybe a little bit."

"Then you have to forgive me for that. Otherwise, I will..."

"Ah, okay, okay~ I will forgive you." Calypsea ran and held Lereza's hand as she shook her left and right.

It caused Lereza to nod in satisfaction. She had a smug expression as though her plan had succeeded, but to the others who watched them, it appeared that there were two kids instead of just one.

Lereza had been spooked when Calypsea displayed her hostility against her for a moment. However, she was aware that was something all kids would do when things didn't go their way. Calypsea's hostility was even more threatening since she was a calamitous being. It caused her heart to throb with fear, but she knew that Calypsea was not someone to be afraid of.

She bent down and hugged her, not feeling any heat when it had actually burned many alive back in the Verdant Vale Sect's City.

Calypsea was self-aware and mindful of others. Lereza knew this was true. She only needed more training to be sympathetic to others in order to counter her destructive disposition.

Soon, they reached the other two teams.

"Nooo!"

Wougen and Shentu yelled out when they saw a river of blood flowing down the southern edge of the mountain. It was brutal, and the air of death was extreme. They sensed as many as twenty Autarchs having died and two hundred Sovereigns having fallen to their ranks who stood proudly in the air.

There was a breathtaking phoenix whose feathers shimmered in seven shifting colors, but there was a significant amount of darkness and wind flames soaring on those wings.

It was none other than Skylia, a beautiful Seven-Colored Phoenix that mesmerized Lereza and the others.

Her massive wingspan, glowing with emerald and sapphire hues, stirred gales with every flap of her wings. Her radiant phoenix body was over one and a half kilometers long, and her wingspan was twice that size. It seemed to blur the line between light and shadow as she soared in the skies.

On the surface of the mountain, there was a hot, elegant fox with nine flowing tails, each end of the tail flickering with a mix of shadowy and glowing light.

He was Pazudu, an Illusory Sunshade Fox who became an Eclipse Flame Fox.

Other than the incredible black runes, his ember-colored fur was adorned with black stripes, creating the art of an eclipse. His body was over a kilometer long, full of majesty, with flames soaring occasionally.

"Wooo!~"

There was also another Empyrean Beast on the mountain, its head proud as it raised its head and howled at the night sky.

It was none other than Shax, who became a Shadowbound Gale Wolf from an Azuretail Shadow Wolf.

He was a towering wold with fur so dark it seemed to absorb light. However, his tail still held a glimmer of azure that faintly glowed with wind energy. His sharp, dark blue eyes gleamed with the cunning intelligence of a wolf, and his form also spanned over a kilometer, like Pazudu's. They appeared to be nearly the same size.

They both turned to look at each other, but a giant snake slithered in between, hissing with a cold and dark gleam in its eyes.

It was a colossal cobra with sleek, black scales shimmering in shades of purple and green. Its hood displayed glowing runes that shift like liquid spatial or darkness energy, mesmerizing all who see it. There was a layer of venom around its tongue, appearing so potent that it warped the space around it, but the main attraction was the orb on its forehead.

It was dark purple and full of nether energy.

This beast was none other than Azbel, the Phantom Gaze Cobra who became a Nether Orb Cobra.

His body stretched over three kilometers long with a presence both sinister and hypnotic. Looking at Wougen and the others, his slithering tongue hissed as he sneered.

"You're all late."

There were hundreds of corpses in between them all.

The very sight of it made Wougen and Shentu shudder but also angry. There weren't any left for them to battle!

"So many contribution points. These souls also belong to me, right?"

In the air above, Vereina let go of something, and the corpse of a Heaven's Warrior Autarch fell. It hit the surface and created a crater as a huge thud echoed.

"If it's your kill, yes." Illumina was further above in the sky.

Behind her were Soaren, King, Rakshira, and Gralex. They were in their human forms.

They joined the battle but decided to let the others have fun since they already had fun in the Golden Crow Lower Realm. However, they still did kill around seventy Sovereign Heaven's Warriors and one or two Autarchs each, so they were satisfied.

As for Illumina, she didn't join them initially as she remained in the dark. After all, she was also a clone. She didn't want to waste her energy, but eventually, she noticed her main body nearing, so she decided to give aid and killed over six Autarchs.

The rest of them were killed by Vereina and the other magical beasts. Even after she arrived here, she didn't join their battlefield. She instead wanted to give the opportunity to Wougen and the others, but it seemed that they were twenty seconds late.

The battle had just ended when Lereza and the others showed up.

Vereina couldn't help but grin. She had taken out nine Autarchs by herself. Her cultivation was bound to increase at the speed of light again. She fantasized about catching up to him and making him acknowledge her.

"Now that we have all gathered safely let's take the loot and leave." Lereza nodded at them.

Soaren, Andiron, and Fenren nodded back. Illumina, the overseer for this mission, gave the final nod.

They then instantly cleared the area of any traces and left the Verdant Vale Lower Realm, heading towards the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Lower Realm.

Lereza kept quiet about Calypsea's achievements, so when the news of the eminent destruction of the Verdant Vale Realm Core reverberated around the neighboring realms first, everyone aboard the ship was shocked as they cast a look at Calypsea who seemed to be secretly feeding on the melted essence of the Realm Core that she managed to snatch for herself and keep it in containers in her spatial ring before leaving.

"Ahh~ I won't share."

Feeling dread, Calypsea ran to the back of the flying ship and crouched as she ate the melted essence faster.
