Divine Emperor of Death

Using Immortal Emperor Grade Ores, the road was paved towards a grand mansion standing regally amidst a sprawling estate of many small mansions. Before the mansion was a courtyard garden neatly arranged and trimmed, making a myriad of colors paint the entrance with a warm, golden glow of sunlight.

An arch segregated the space between staying inside and remaining outside the wedding venue, allowing the guests to differentiate where they stand. The pathway leading to the courtyard garden was lined with flickering lanterns, their gentle glow guiding the way, except they were dull since it was still daytime.

Towards the entrance of the mansion, the path was transformed into an aisle, and the space before the door was changed to an ornate altar adorned with fragrant flowers. The floral arrangement was simply mesmerizing, along with the mansion's backdrop.

The wedding venue had a striking resemblance to when Davis married Sophie and Niera together, but there were more defenses and nearly impenetrable security around as the Reaper Soul Legion patrolled the surroundings, and many formations were in Yotan's control.

Not even a High-Level Immortal Emperor can start something here and get away with it.

From the moment dawn approached, numerous guests started pouring in.

The first power to visit was actually the Earth Dragon Clan, which Isabella received. She appeared to be delighted that they gave face to her Emperor by coming here very early on. After all, they timed their invitations to be delivered to their allies' doorsteps yesterday morning.

The three inheritors, Grand Ancestor Rocksunder, Crystia, and Noctis, were also here.

The Aurora Cloud Gate naturally allowed guests to enter for a day or two ever since they opened up to the world again.

Next, the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan showed up, followed by the Golden Crow Clan, Obsidian Crystal Turtle Clan, and the other powers from the Central Primesky Alliance also arrived. Even the Zyrus Family was also here.

"…"

A momentary period of silence overcame the boisterous atmosphere when the Fire Phoenix Clan showed up.

However, since it was just the three inheritors, Shirley welcomed them with eagerness, quickly easing the atmosphere.

Guests were slowly pouring in, and the feast had already started, bringing in many like-minded people who wanted to taste what kind of meat would be served at the Emperor of Death's wedding.

"…!"

But the moment they stepped into the wedding hall, their working minds shut down, and everything became aromatic in their senses.

All kinds of meat were served on big plates. These plates were filled with different types of dishes, but there was enough to go around multiple times as there were multiple servings of the same kind of dish, allowing everyone to taste the delicacies.

However, they were awestruck as a High-Level Immortal Emperor Grade Magical Beast Meat was served in every kind of meat, unable to imagine how many magical beasts of that caliber the Emperor of Death hunted down in the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm.

However, they misunderstood as Davis didn't hunt much of those Feral Beasts. It was in the spatial rings of the heavenly geniuses. Still, the guests were thoroughly convinced by his prowess and began partaking in the feast by singing praises for him.

Nonetheless, even sometime past noon, the guests didn't stop emerging.

Delegates from the Dragon Alliance, Phoenix Alliance, and Kirin Alliance also showed up, causing Isabella and the others to gawk inwardly as they didn't expect uninvited powers to come.

Wasn't this supposed to be an accursed place?

Heck, many Patriarchs from different powers ended up showing up. They didn't have any kind of invitation or recommendation whatsoever.

Of course, they didn't just waltz in but announced their names and the faction they belonged to before waiting to receive permission to enter, which was a sight to see and a sight to record.

Indeed, Mingzhi was officially recording everything here to be seen later on with a powerful Imagery Stone of the Immortal Emperor Grade.

She procured it using her intelligence network.

However, this was the cultivation world, and no one liked to be recorded, so they would attack anyone who displayed an Imagery Stone at them, but… not here.

They didn't dare do anything of that sort.

Many wanted to see the Emperor of Death's first wife, as she had been missing for a long time. They wanted to see why she was called the Hex Demoness and was rumored to be almost, if not equally, as scary as the Emperor of Death.

Naturally, Evelynn couldn't come out to greet them, so Isabella and Shirley took care of the greetings. As inheritors, they held enough sway over their powers, but as an Empress and a Queen, they thoroughly floored every person who walked past them, essentially forcing them to lower their gaze with just their charm and mannerisms.

Numerous people were shocked by the Fire Phoenix Clan's fourth inheritor's transformation.

Wasn't it said that she only had ordinary blood, unlike the Earth Dragon Clan's fourth inheritor, Isabella?

Nonetheless, Esvele and the others took care of shifting the guests to their places, allowing them to see the magnificent feast they had put up.

The guests were intoxicated by the meat as they kept munching on them and swallowing as their bellies fattened up.

Why? Because even as Patriarchs and people in higher positions, they wouldn't be able to eat this kind of meat as High-Level Immortal Emperor Grade Beasts weren't so easily available. Where can they find such a beast? Even if they did, it would be a sentient life filled with knowledge and most likely the Guardian or Ancestor of some power.

Would it even be possible for them to go hunt something like that?

Hence, their eyes were bloodshot. Each bite they took filled them with a ton of energy, especially to the magical beasts.

They kept asking for seconds without reserve and knew they were shameless but didn't care, begging like they were poor people.

"More!"

And the most shameless was naturally the three Patriarchs who befriended Davis.

Their eyes shined as they reached out their plates, and numerous disciples hired for this occasion went around serving them as though their life depended on it, as this one day's pay was enough to keep them satisfied for hundreds of years to come, perhaps even thousands.

In fact, even core disciples were hovering outside the island, wanting to join as a worker but couldn't, so they simply ended up joining as a guest and partaking in the feast.

But… how much they could eat also depended on their strength.

After all, eating meat of that grade while being an Immortal King, they might barf if they were not careful, as they could only take in a few pieces and try to digest them before the day could end. The energy within the succulent pieces of meat was massive!

By this time, the ladies also retreated, and the guests kept themselves company, having many things to talk about.

By evening, Myria and Ellia had also returned, but upon asking, they relayed that they weren't able to find the treasure they were looking for. Nadia also returned, but she hadn't become an Immortal Emperor Beast yet. She returned to secure the perimeter and inflict mental damage on those who might want to do something shady here as she gave off her aura occasionally but always roamed around while being concealed.

It proved to be incredibly effective as some youths who were turning rowdy from sparring with each other turned a bit quieter.

As night fell and the moon rose, the wedding venue became bright and fabulous from the lanterns. A few minutes later, the groom finally stepped out, causing the entire venue, which was still feasting and creating a stir with all kinds of impromptu events, to utterly turn silent.
