Divine Emperor of Death

The Reaper Soul Legion's uniform actions caused the entirety of the Soul Palace to shudder in disbelief and distraught; distraught because they had mostly rejected the Emperor of Death's sudden take over of their Soul Palace and held some resentment over that altercation, causing them to deny joining the Soul Legion back then. However, there was also another reason why they denied joining the Soul Legion because of their elders, who strictly told them they would be used as cannon-fodder to fulfill the Emperor of Death's ambition to conquer the Fifty-Two Territories.

However, did the Emperor of Death need the Soul Legion for such matters at present?

Regretfully, the recruitment took place before the competition, so they had no way of knowing how it would turn out. Even the opportunists bided their time, thinking that there would be another recruitment with lax requirements that didn't bind their souls, but no, they were denied their opportunity at this moment, and considering that it was the Emperor of Death himself who announced it, even going as far as to say that the Soul Legion has become independent of the Soul Palace and turned into the Reaper Soul Legion, they knew for a fact that it was final.

Regret…

Their intestines turned green at this moment, making them feel intense regret. Looking at the fifty-six Soul Emperors and Soul Empresses, their expressions turned unsightly and envious.

Yotan couldn't help but smirk at Davis's speech.

She had prepared a big speech for him, but he had not used it, finishing his intent in a few sentences. However, she wasn't surprised because even back then, she could see that he didn't like formalities, and that was one of the things she liked about him, her Legion Master.

As the message was delivered to the Soul Palace and the guests that had been invited from other powers, she strode forward and floated in the air, spreading her hands as her undulations spread.

"…!?"

People's jaws dropped as they sensed Grand Elder Yotan's Cultivation had reached High-Level Emperor Soul Stage. However, what's so mind-boggling was that her prowess didn't seem synonymous with her cultivation, but it was far above, causing their hearts to palpitate as they had never sensed such undulations in their life.

She momentarily gave them the feeling that she was even stronger than the Emperor of Death!

"Disciples and elders of the Soul Palace. I, Yotan, am no longer a part of the Soul Palace, and neither are the fifty-five Soul Emperors and Soul Empresses who swore fealty to the Emperor of Death. From here on out, I will be known as the Legion Commander of the Reaper Soul Legion."

*Bzzz!~*

At this moment, another wave of undulations rocked the Soul Palace, causing t

"Legion Commander, don't take all the good part. I, Threelotus, am also no longer part of the Soul Palace. From here on out, I will be known as the Vice Commander of the Reaper Soul Legion, zealously executing the wishes of the Legion Master and the Legion Commander while taking care of my subordinates!"

Threelotus excitedly screamed, her voice resounding within the confines of the Soul Palace, causing the audience to be dumbstruck while they could also feel that her base prowess didn't match her cultivation.

Yotan and Davis's brows couldn't help but twitch as they heard Threelotus's speech. While they had done their speech with a rousing and heroic voice that tried to raise the spirits, Threelotus's speech was just done using her normal, cheerful voice, except louder. She almost ruined the awe-inspiring birth of the Reaper Soul Legion if it weren't for her powerful undulations that backed up her high-pitched voice.

*Bzzz!~*

"Similarly, First Division's Legion Captain Praezen!"

"Likewise, Second Division's Legion Captain Lightsky!"

"Again, Third Division's Legion Captain Starlily!"

But even if Threelotus were to mess up the ceremony, the three Legion Captains were here to save the day, each one of them looking sharp and dangerous as their loud and mighty voices pierced through the skies.

The people of the Soul Palace became deeply shocked by their undulations and even their appearances that were a far cry from before.

Legion Captain Praezen looked like a proud-middle-aged man with a mustache and a beard. However, before he joined the Soul Legion, everyone remembered that he was an old man who was a Soul King but tottered on the brink of death due to a certain illness but here he was, hovering above the platform as though he was in his active prime, appearing to have lush brown hair.

On the other hand, Legion Captain Lightsky was really a brown-haired youngster who had only reached a hundred and fifty years old. He was in his prime, possessing a handsome face, sharp brows, and chiseled nose, appearing gaudy yet influential. His existence had been unknown within the Soul Palace until he returned from adventuring, only to find a conquered Soul Palace. However, he didn't go against the flow and was thoroughly entranced by the Emperor of Death's power, willing to be his subordinate.

As for Legion Captain Starlily, she was just short of Threelotus and Yotan from status back then because her prowess could not compare to theirs. However, she saw the opportunity and readily took it during the recruitment, allowing her to almost catch up to them. Regarding her beauty behind the veil, it was said that even Yotan and Threelotus were envious of her looks, but no one knew the truth as she had never shown her face publicly and even privately until that one time when she lost to Threelotus in a battle for disciple rankings of their generation.

Nonetheless, all three Legion Captains were previously Peak-Level Soul Kings, but now, they possessed Mid-Level Emperor Soul Stage Soul Forging Cultivations, similarly possessing a prowess far above their levels! What's more, these three captains were in command of their three divisions, each containing seventeen soul cultivators whose prowess was similarly above the norm!

Following the Captains, the two Vice Captains in each division chorously echoed their fealty to the Reaper Soul Legion and the Legion Master before the soul cultivators of the three divisions did the same.

Their bellows shook the heaven and earth, causing many people to feel their hearts palpitate in excitement and regret because they were not a part of it.

Looking at this wonderful scene, Yotan inwardly nodded her head in joy as she felt like she was a part of the founding characters, opening her sweet crimson lips.

"Everyone. We are a part of the Reaper Soul Legion, led under the direction of the Emperor of Death, or rather, the Legion Master of the Reaper Soul Legion, Palace Master of the Soul Palace, the proud Protector, and Hegemon of the Alstreim Family: Davis Loret."

'Oye, too many titles...'

Davis almost shot an embarrassed look at Yotan. However, Yotan merely glanced at him before continuing her ending speech. Meanwhile, he could only sigh in secret, considering that he and Yotan had been spending some time for a while as they oversaw the growth of the Soul Legion in the past few weeks.

Davis used the Stargaze-Risen Emperor Radiance Pills to allow all his loyal subjects to enter the Emperor Soul Stage from the time of the competition. As for Yotan, Threelotus, and the three captains, they had already made immense progress with their Soul Forging Cultivations in that time with his Perfect-Tier Stargaze-Risen Emperor Radiance Pills he had concocted.

From there on, he allowed Yotan and Threelotus to drink the diluted essence of the other Perfect-Tier Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill he created in varying amounts, causing Yotan and Threelotus to possess an Emperor Sigil while the three captains managed to manifest a King Sigil.

However, he had only used thirty percent of the diluted essence and intended to keep the remaining essence as a reward for the Soul Legion so that his warriors were eager to display their skills and earn achievements. However, as a display of sincerity to their good faith of loyalty, he let them swallow the Vigorous Heptagonal Emperor Soul Pills and create a Mortal Sigil, allowing their prowess to increase two levels.

In other words, his Reaper Soul Legion's prowess consisted of fifty-one High-Level Emperor Soul Stage Powerhouses, three fifth level Emperor Soul Stage Powerhouses, a sixth level Emperor Soul Stage Powerhouse, and a seventh level Emperor Soul Stage Powerhouse!

Nonetheless, because Davis was coordinating with Yotan while using his avatar, they had inadvertently become somewhat closer, with her coming to know that he wasn't a stuck-up individual who cared much about face. From there on, she occasionally added some humor into their conversation, causing Davis to smile, which became her past time at this point.

All-in-all, the both of them were completely satisfied with the beginning of the Reaper Soul Legion, and this ceremony was being broadcasted throughout the righteous path that most of his women and family were assumably watching with excited expressions on their faces!
