DIVINE EMPEROR OF DEATH

Chapter 4257  Invading The Secret Realm

A group of women descended near the Great Desolate Plains.

It was heavily guarded, but in their eyes, it was guarded as much as a sleeping guard standing in front of the gates, easily sneaked in or even invaded.

"Without a Venerable Knight, they're no match for us." Isabella calmly said.

Dressed in a purple-gold robe, she looked incredibly beautiful. While a golden veil hid her face, her black eyes were lovely, and their shape alone spoke volumes about her beauty. Her purple hair was tied up in a bun while the rest fell in loose waves, creating an exquisite yet carefree appearance.

"Hopefully, our husband wins against those annoying Venerable Knights." Shirley heaved a breath.

Clad in a crimson-blue robe that matched her hair, she appeared like a hot fairy in a cold winter. A crimson veil hid her face, but her eyes shone like lustrous ruby gems, giving her a fiery look.

The two of them stood at the forefront while many others accompanied them.

There was Niera, Bylai, Aila, Dalila, Flamerose, Frostrose and Freya.

They were heading towards the Secret Realm in the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm. It was said to be a Shard World, a crack within a certain dimension that somehow formed its own ecosystem. It may contain various elemental energies or specific and concentrated ones near the core of the world. Its size was also said to be about the size of a Lower Realm, which was over ninety-five quadrillion kilometers, which translated to ten thousand light years in terms of old world standard's light speed.

This was the reason why the exploration wasn't anywhere near done, and the time this secret realm would remain open was theorized to be around seventy years.

Isabella and the others flew slowly toward the location where their First Void Dust Sanctuary once was, making them feel a bit nostalgic.

It had only been more than a year. They were subjected to extreme violence just because they were Divergents and chased to the end of the realms within this layer. There was so much hate, but with Davis and the others, they managed to break free of this curse and remain safe until they became extremely strong.

"Halt!"

"It's the Divine Emperor of Death's allies! It's his wives!"

The Heaven's Warriors spotted them at a distance and instantly convened. There were about three hundred of them, their numbers far lesser than the ones in the Verdant Vale Lower Realm. They expected the Divine Emperor of Death to appear here, but it wasn't a high probability since he could not leave the realm due to the Covenant. They predicted his allies might appear, and just as they had expected, his wives came.

They recognized Isabella, Shirley, Flamerose, Frostrose, and Aila since their names were out.

As for Niera, Bylai, and Freya, the people had no idea but still felt that as long as they were women, they would mostly be his wives since he was known to be a womanizer.

They quickly surrounded them and began placing arrays like flags and discs, creating a sealing formation.

At that moment, a purple-robed figure manifested in the air and spread her hands, her presence like the descent of a space goddess. Her violet eyes gleamed with an unfathomable depth, rightfully capable of claiming the title of the Void Dust Empress, which her mother enjoyed.

As her spatial energy spread, an ominous pulse rippled throughout space, distorting the very layers of space without actually rattling them one bit. In an instant, countless small purple spheres emerged and imposed themselves upon the hundreds of Heaven's Warriors.

The Heaven's Warriors reacted as they tried to retreat or launch attacks.

However, as soon as they were engulfed, the air grew incredibly dense, plunging them into an inescapable doom as the spheres expanded.

For a fleeting moment, the entire region became silent as though time itself was frozen.

"Rest in peace."

Stella's melodious voice echoed in a solemn tone.

As her voice fell, the purple-black spheres collapsed. They did not explode but instead imploded into a spacequake, rattling the multitude of layers and causing the lifeform within to be crushed. Space twisted as the purple spheres disappeared, leaving behind showers of blood. It was as though the void spat out blood.

There were no bones, no weapons, and no souls. Only the spatial rings and life rings survived, thanks to Stella's extreme control over space.

With a wave of her hand, she collected all the loot and gazed at the incoming Heaven's Warriors and the officials of the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm, who froze in fear.

There was also the Realm Master of the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm.

He seemed to have gotten wind of the Venerable Knights using the Golden Pagoda to teleport to the Whispering Wildlands Lower Realm. He was told to guard this place as a result, but looking at the being who was rumored to be the Void Dust Empress, his heart chilled to the very core.

It didn't take him much to recognize this was an existence at the layer limit, a being that could not be trifled with easily. She had just killed over five Late Stage Autarchs, one of them even comparable to a Level Nine Autarch with a prowess that was a level higher. She did it without straining, letting him know what he was facing.

"If you don't want to die, please leave while I'm being respectful. As a Void Dust Tree, I care very little about human lives."

Stella's spatial energy reverberated across the region and brushed past their aces, leaving them breathless.

They felt as though a wave of spatial distortion had just hit them and they could do nothing about them, feeling their insides churn.

"What do you want?" The Eternal Twilight Realm Master barely kept his calm and asked.

"Naturally, we also want to take part in the expedition to the secret realm."

Stella waved her hand. She sent Isabella and the others past them through a spatial tunnel and dropped them all inside, quickly bypassing the defensive and offensive formations placed there.

"I imagine there should not be any trouble with us joining, no?"

Stella raised her brows. She also wore a purple veil, which hid her lovely face, but her violet eyes shone like a starry river as she questioned them with an imposing attitude. Both her power and voice possessed an immense sense of maturity and authority, a far cry from her previous childish voice that was playful.

"…"

The Eternal Twilight Realm Master couldn't say anything. On one hand, he could not offend this person, and on the other, he couldn't just let them enter as he was answerable to the Heaven's Warriors. It put him in a tough spot, making him unable to provide an answer and just stare menacingly without making a move.

Isabella and the others had entered the core area that led to the entrance to the secret realm.

This space was engulfed in a sealing formation that strictly kept the space only accessible to Immortal Emperors and Sovereigns. This was also built with funding from the Venerable Knights, so only a peak existence would be able to break through this sealing formation.

There were a lot of people here, and it was like a town, a merchant town, to be exact.

"Woah, it's thriving…"

Niera looked honestly surprised as she witnessed life teeming in the winding streets that stretched across the town, lined with neatly crafted stalls with powerful defenses and towering pavilions that reeked of status symbols. Banners of countless factions fluttered in the air, signifying the presence of powerful forces.

Jeweled artifacts, powerful armaments, and mystical pills shimmered under the glow of the lanterns of the stores.

Cultivators in flowing robes bartered, and merchants with sharp gazes haggled over the resources that they brought out of the secret realm. A single transaction that happened here could make any ordinary Immortal Emperor weep. That was how powerful and wealthy the powers here were. Still, there were too many people, so even geniuses of the Lower Realms and ambitious yet poor cultivators were present here, trying to make ends meet.

Isabella and Shirley raised their brows as she recognized the powers they met in the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm.

"Is that a teleportation formation?"

Freya hopped and pointed towards an altar on the other side of the entrance.

Bylai nodded, "It is indeed a teleportation formation. Judging by its structure and the placement of the array, I would say it leads to the far corners of this realm."

"Makes sense. These supreme geniuses who are leaving would quickly need to travel in order to reach an Upper Realm Node and get to the Second Layer." Frostrose nodded.

"In the same way, those who are trying to get to the secret realm can get here faster through the teleportation formation," Flamerose smirked.

"Exactly~" Bylai smirked back.

Only after a small talk did people finally start taking notice of Isabella and the others.

At first, they were dumbstruck to see heavenly beauties appear, their hearts stuck in their throats. However, the more they looked, the more terrified they felt as they recalled seeing a few faces that belonged to the wives of the Divine Emperor of Death.

They quickly alerted the authorities, but no one- exactly no one responded, making their hearts plummet.

Isabella and the others couldn't care less what these people thought.

As they walked through the streets and looked at a pagoda at the center, they could see a spatial vortex before the structure.

"Should we ransack the whole place?" Shirley winked at Isabella.

"No, they are too poor for our taste. The real dish should be on the other side."

They appeared in front of a spatial vortex that didn't look like a spatial vortex. The edges of the spatial vortex were full of colors, as if they were a rainbow, signifying that the elemental proportion of heaven and earth energy was extremely high.

Isabella and Shirley stepped into the spatial vortex and appeared on the other side. The others followed suit, but as they saw what was here, their expression all turned vile.

"See? I told you the real dish would be on the other side." Isabella giggled, "After all, a border town imposes taxes on one end, making merchants cry as they lose their profits."

"Yeah, besides, the supreme geniuses would never let the weaker ones enjoy these treasures." Shirley shook her head.

Other than the grandiose scenic atmosphere that left them breathless, there was a town here, too. However, the aura of the resources here was much more vibrant and powerful, most at the Empyrean Grade.

Some supreme geniuses had noticed them and gazed in a hostile manner, but Isabella and Shirley attacked directly.

They had no intention to try and be peaceful when they knew all supreme geniuses here would be out to get their heads.
