Divine Emperor of Death

Grand Elder Artur Schatz's expression fell while Grand Elder Ulrich Hector's brows furrowed. They waited for a moment, but looking at Azzuren Rein's unmoving body as well as hearing Elder Chu Feng's words; their expressions become filled with doubt before some of their faces went aghast!

However, confusion again filled their expressions the next moment as their brows furrowed.

"Young master, this isn't the time to act like a fool..."

Grand Elder Artur Schatz uttered, musing that even if Azzuren Rein wanted to humiliate this Elder Chu Feng, there was no need to lie on the floor to act dead for this long. It was rather unbecoming than hilarious.

Didn't this young master know the art of humiliating without letting the other party know that they have been humiliated?

For the first time in his life, he disapproved of Azzuren Rein's actions.

"Ahaha. We all get it, young master. There's no longer a need to prove a point..."

Grand Elder Ulrich Hector approached. He arrived before Azzuren Rein and bent down to respectfully wake him up when it suddenly looked as if he lost his footing and fell on top over Azzuren Rein.

"...!"

Grand Elder Artur Schatz's scalp tingled at this moment as his body jerked as he took a step back. A few Elders on his side also displayed a similar reaction while Grand Elder Claus Strom, Wolfram Bach, and Erich Weiss looked skeptical, possessing disgusted expressions on their faces, musing what under the heavens they were trying to pull.

What kind of drama was this?

"You... Go check them..."

Grand Elder Artur Schatz couldn't help but secretly gulp before he looked towards an Elder and ordered him. The moment he uttered that, the atmosphere abruptly became solemn, but Elder had no choice but to follow the Grand Elder's words.

To that Elder, this whole situation seemed odd. Even if these two people were 'that', shouldn't they go get a room? Why were they on top of each other here? Moreover, why didn't they move?

Feeling incredibly strange, he inwardly encouraged himself but then felt that it was ridiculous!

There's no way two important and powerful characters would drop dead suddenly!? Right...!?

A smile lit up on that Elder's face as he walked towards the two.

"!!!"

However, the moment he neared them, he fell on top of them as Grand Elder Ulrich Hector did!

*Ding!~* *Ding!~* *Ding!~*

"THE SECT IS UNDER ATTACK! A GRAND ELDER AND AN ELDER HAS DIED ALONG WITH A TOP DISCIPLE!~~~"

"F.u.c.k!!!"

Grand Elder Artur Schatz shot behind, gaining as much distance a hundred kilometers in an instant as he heard the resounding alarm bells from the Burning Phoenix Tower that was used to alert any emergencies like an invasion, especially in case of sudden deaths while the cause could be assassins.

It was near to the Life Tablet Hall so that the Burning Phoenix Tower would be able to quickly announce any dangers and emergencies to the entire sect, amassing all the experts and powerhouses present to respond, and in this case, hunt down the escaping assassin, but Grand Elder Artur Schatz's left the gazes of the three dead bodies and landed on Elder Chu Feng, his scalp tingling as he caught sight of a red-eyed killing intent seeping into his heart!

At the same time, a kind of greyish black energy surged around Elder Chu Feng, seeping out of the pores while striking deep fear into his heart as he sensed its aura.

"Die!"

There was a brave Elder who stepped forward, his body trembling as intense blazing flames of the burning phoenix emerged out. However, it died down as quickly as it came while he fell face-flat like the other three, causing all of the other Elders who thought they had an advantage from numbers to severely reel back as some of them even fell butt-flat as they looked at Davis in sheer terror.

Their entire body trembled as they felt the unholy aura seeping out from this mysterious Elder Chu Feng!

"This... This is Death Laws...?"

Grand Elder Claus Strom's voice resounded at this moment, filled with disbelief as he looked at Elder Chu Feng's back.

Davis's attention was attracted as he cast a look back, his indifferent expression and his ominous exterior that was greyish-black striking fear into the hearts of the three Grand Elders and the Elders, including Elder Karlheinz Strom, who reeled back to the entrance along with the other Elders.

"Anyone who enters Shirley's Crimson Palace will die..."

A cold voice echoed out from Davis while a High-Level Emperor Grade Defensive Formation sprang out from the inside as it sealed the crimson palace, causing those Elders to stop in their tracks.

He looked at them, where they all looked back at him with wide eyes filled with incredulity and understood that they were finding it hard to comprehend what had happened while there seemed to be Grand Elder Claus Strom who seem to have an answer or at least assume one.

Grand Elder Claus Strom's answer also garnered the attention of Grand Elder Erich Weiss and Grand Elder Wolfram Bach as they turned to look at him for more information, but the former kept shaking his head, seemingly denying his own thoughts yet the sight in front of did not let him think otherwise.

'As expected... So this power is truly called Death Laws...' Davis didn't expect someone to recognize this power.

He became interested in wanting to ask the specifics or any history about Death Laws so that he could learn more about it, perhaps even techniques concerning it, but still, the current situation didn't allow him to have a chit-chat.

"If anyone one of you wants to interfere with me protecting Shirley, then feel free to release your undulations. If not, just stay here and protect Shirley as you've been ordered to."

Davis raised his voice as he spoke in a domineering tone, a tone that didn't allow for any rebuttals before he turned his head and looked towards Grand Elder Artur Schatz, who had retreated far away, a few hundred kilometers by now and stopped, looking at him with intense hostility as well as trepidation.

"You're smart, and I hope that you stay that way for your own good..."

Davis's voice resounded out towards Grand Elder Artur Schatz, echoing throughout the area while many experts and powerhouses began to converge towards this place. However, they all either stayed in the distance, joined together in a battle formation, or took messaging talismans to inform the situation to whomever they served.

Grand Elder Artur Schatz's expression went ugly as he heard the bit of mocking voice in Elder Chu Feng's tone. However, he didn't dare to near as he had no idea of what this Death Law was supposed to be!

The way those three died on top of each other while falling flat without warning... it was even horrifying than the terrifying Hex Laws he had heard about! There was absolutely no sign of a Low-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouse dying!

Even now, he still couldn't believe Grand Elder Ulrich Hector died just like that! From the unmoving and uninjured corpses, he could understand that it should almost be a soul attack at the Peak-Level King Soul Stage prowess, but what kind of soul attack was that!?

He didn't even see it coming!

Grand Elder Claus Strom and the others were thinking about the same matter. It should actually be impossible to kill a Low-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouse just like that, even if they were caught off-guard with a soul attack at their level, but Grand Elder Claus Strom suddenly recalled a phrase that he read in ancient texts unearthed and claimed from ancient sites.

"Death Laws, the absolute bane of souls..."

He muttered, causing the others to feel a severe bone-chilling cold in their spines that made them tremble. It made him feel more convinced that this power that Elder Chu Feng held was undoubtedly Death Laws.

Davis waved his hand at this moment, the thick greyish dark death energy swaying around his body shot towards the three dead bodies. It was like the manifestation of an evil god's palm as it slapped the three stacked bodies before they all began to disintegrate along with the other abandoned corpse of an Elder.

Everyone's expressions changed as they watched with incredulity. The tens of Ninth Stage Powerhouses who had already gathered were watching the scene with disbelief, not knowing left from right.

Why were the three Grand Elders behind not taking action?

Could it be that internal faction wars that were suppressed with both sides maintaining the status quo had already begun?

"My son!!! Ahh! How dare you!!!?"

An enraged voice reverberated from a faraway distance. It was actually hundreds of kilometers away, but the immense pressure the voice exuded along with the incredible aura that surged throughout the Burning Phoenix Ridge caused everyone's expression to change again!

However, Davis didn't stop using his death energy. Despite the immense pressure that descended on him, he kept his attack up as he kept his hands raised, finding it hard to keep up maintaining his soul force.

At this moment, almost everyone became aware of the limitation he possessed.

Elder Chu Feng was not able to handle the overbearing pressure from Ninth Stage Powerhouses! They were quick to assume that he had used a secret self-sacrifice art to kill Grand Ulrich Hector!

"Kill him!!!"

Someone shouted from the skies, and the Elders who were nearby in a formation instantly moved. It seemed that they were from the Hector Family, their crimson eyes blazing with the intent for revenge!
