Divine Emperor of Death

The Voidslime Realm Eater's gelatinous spatial body covered a thousand meters in an instant and kept expanding, causing Davis to no longer bother hiding as he used Zestria's movement technique to launch himself toward the distance.

*Boom~*

Annihilative heavenly lightning and flames burst out from his body feet, allowing him to propel himself away with incredible speed.

Turning to look around, he saw that his instantaneous burst wasn't even that helpful as the Voidslime Realm Eater's gelatinous spatial body almost caught up to him, so he tried to speed up, but suddenly, its enlarging body stopped in its tracks as though reaching its limit and began to retreat in a slow manner.

"…"

Davis floated in the air as he stood and watched the Voidslime Realm Eater deflate, except its body had grown to over twenty kilometers in length and probably covered around twenty billion cubic meters in space with its amorphous shape constantly wobbling in the air.

He was thoroughly shocked.

After all, even a Peak-Level Immortal Emperor Grade Spatial Ring, a non-living object used for storage, had about five billion cubic meters worth of space. He had many of these spatial rings from his plundering adventures, but even the best Peak-Level Immortal Emperor Grade Spatial Ring he possessed only amounted to around ten billion cubic meters.

But this creature— as a living being, was able to inflate to about twenty billion cubic meters.

It was ridiculous.

Moreover, the sheer size of its attack was threatening to devour any lifeform that was close by. It was like a spacequake that formed at a point and threatened to consume anything within its area of impact, except this slime could freely shape its shape and elongate itself in one or many directions.

It even tried to eat him up instinctively, as it probably sensed his aura when he used annihilative heavenly flames and lightning to get far away in an instant.

'It's no wonder it didn't even take a glance at the Immortal Emperors around it…'

Davis couldn't help but laugh to himself.

This life was truly a spatial menace, capable of generating spacequake-like attacks to swallow its enemies.

The Ancestors and the Patriarch of the Cyan Soul Rat Clan had only managed to barely react before they were swallowed. If he hadn't chosen to escape earlier, he would've also been in its spatial body right now, probably getting grounded into space dust if he didn't have Fallen Heaven.

The Deathward Seacloak Dominion his soul body used was weaker, but still, he knew he wouldn't last more than a minute in its quaking belly after it had entered the Level Seven Immortal Emperor Stage.

It was too powerful, its laws even capable of allowing it to struggle against Level Eight Immortal Emperors.

Nevertheless, the higher-ups of the Cyan Soul Rat Clan should've fully dwindled, leaving them with probably one or two Mid-Stage Immortal Emperors who had yet to show up.

'Damn, it doesn't even leave the treasures… what a pity…'

Davis collected the soul essences whose destination was toward the reincarnation cycle. However, he saw not a trace of a spatial ring or even a Legacy Artifact was left. Surely, the Patriarch carried at least one Legacy Artifact, no?

It could've survived, but he found no trace of it, so he guessed it was also probably ground to dust. At the same time, he knew it would probably take time for it to be digested since it could be a High or Peak Immortal Emperor Grade Treasure. If it was a defensive treasure, then the Patriarch might still be alive in its belly.

And just as he expected, two Mid Stage Immortal Emperors and quite a few, about a dozen Early Stage Immortal Emperors appeared, mostly feys and magical beasts. The three inheritors of the Cyan Soul Rat Clan were also here, including the King-Tier Cyan Soul Rat, Xerax, who had been the entire reason the Cyan Soul Rat Clan formed an enmity with them.

To accommodate him, they had targeted his family from the get-go, intending to capture him or anyone from his family at the Western Ascendance Monument.

He guessed they wanted his life for karmic luck but ended up in this sorry situation. He felt pity, but he didn't feel sorry for their eventual deaths. As for Xerax, he personally wanted to capture him and torture him like he tortured Patriarch Killian Zenflame.

He had never met Xerax in the Grand Beginnings Continent, but he just had to do something so stupid, like trying to hunt a Divergent.

Davis shook his head, returning to his plain old rock, and sat on it as he watched the two remaining Ancestors panic.

"We have to escape! We don't have the ability to kill it…."

"But how can we escape when the realm is sealed for ten thousand years!?"

The two remaining Ancestors looked visibly shaken. It could be seen that they were the weakest since their undulations merely appeared to be at Level Four Immortal Emperor Stage. However, with how weak they were and how old they looked, he doubted that they could even cross a level to battle or even fight against an opponent of similar strength.

"We had even decided to forgo the opportunity of participating in the Candidacy precisely because of the calamitous threat the Emperor of Death posed and sealed the realm in order to not be found, so why-! Why should we suffer such a calamity inside the shelter!?"

Youil, the inheritor whom Davis had once met in the Central Primesky Alliance's new beginnings, roared as he seemed to have lost his cool.

For such a calculative person to have lost his calm, Davis could only shake his head.

Just their fear of him brought them down to this level, so this random Voidslime Realm Eater made them feel the immediate threat of death filling their souls for the second time in a span of a year.

"It's all because of you!" Youil abruptly pointed at Xerax, "You are the entire source of-"

"Silence!"

However, Xerax simply wasn't having it as he unleashed his King-Tier undulations. It caused the entirety of the people present to kneel.
