Divine Emperor of Death

In another location of the sandy plains, a woman with blonde hair, dressed in a white robe, roamed around. Fortunately or unfortunately, she was sent to a place where no one was near that she had to look around for a while but still had no luck in finding an opponent.

'Unlike the sealed lightning space, I can feel that this space is breakable. Perhaps, I only require the strength of the High-Level Ninth Stage to break this space, although I might be wrong...'

She mused as she flew in the scorching skies above the sandy plains, heading in a straight direction so that she didn't get lost.

Suddenly, she stopped and turned to look towards the side as she recognized the aura of Peak-Level Law Dominion Stage Cultivators heading past her when they suddenly stopped and headed in her direction.

'Five of them...'

Not expecting to have an encounter with a group of five, the woman's brows narrowed in scrutiny.

'Oh, isn't that the guy who got humiliated again and again by the Mandate Emperor and Clara?'

She recognized someone in that group before her lips couldn't but curve.

If the other four were with him, they should not amount to much, right?

In a few moments, they appeared before her with gait.

Resplendent white light shone as a thousand and six hundred kilometer domain appeared, covering a part of the mid-air but still not reach her as she was ten kilometers away from them.

"Hehehe."

The man in the very front, whom the blonde-haired woman recognized as the guy who was humiliated earlier before the competition started, smiled as though deriving pleasure.

"Last time, I faced Sophie Alstreim in a battle and ended up facing a humiliating defeat. However, I didn't falter and trained myself to the Peak-Level Law Dominion Stage, even conjuring a Supreme Domain. As for the others, they're vagrant cultivators who didn't have the power to rely on but still had their own destinies to reach this level. Do you want to surrender before we make a move, Beauty Niera?'

'It's him…!?'

Niera was dumbfounded as she heard him speak.

She thought he was a different person as the last time she saw him was when he didn't look scrawny, pale but overconfident, and a bit bulky. She could see that he had certainly worked hard, perhaps even resorted to pills that consumed his potential in order to become this powerful. Nevertheless, she couldn't remember his name as she hated his arrogance.

"Uhm… what was your name again?" Niera's brows twitched, "Brimmed with stupidity?"

"What the… it's Brim Hisler. Brim… Hisler…!."

Brim Hisler clenched his teeth as he repeated twice, looking offended already while the four behind him looked embarrassed to be with him. However, they were allowed to enter through his power, the Twilight Physician Hall, so they had no choice but to keep up their appearances and stick with him until he ended up kicking himself out.

Even they didn't want to battle someone related to the Emperor of Death, but if they managed to take her down and the Emperor of Death didn't bother with it as this was only a competition, they'd be praised for their huge guts and recruited by hegemons!

To them, it was a good proposition to risk their lives on.

Niera looked around, confirming that there was no one else to ambush her.

"You cannot escape." Brim Hisler smiled on noticing her actions, "We've already confirmed that there is no one in the surrounding hundred kilometers. In fact, you're flying towards the edge of the spatial formation that you're going to eventually turn around when you notice it."

"Brim Hisler, you're not supposed to reveal that..."

Another man dressed in blue robes spoke, causing Brim Hisler to laugh, "I'm arrogant but not stupid. We're already ganging up on her, which is beneath me, but since I acknowledge that she is powerful, already possessing a Perfect Domain, I have no choice but to rely on you guys, and so, I merely gave her some advice. It is up to her to believe and use that information."

The four others narrowed their eyes as they quickly summoned their own Supreme Domains.

The suppressive light domain from Brim Hisler was already active, but it was intersected by four more domains that grew to more heights than his, ranging around a thousand and eight hundred kilometers. Clearly, in terms of raw prowess, they were stronger than Brim Hisler!

However, Niera didn't move nor escape but slowly raised her hand, causing Brim Hisler to smile.

"So you decided to fight."

Niera looked unamused.

"Seriously, you never learn."

"I'm trying to learn."

"Did you think that I didn't get powerful as you did?"

"Beauty, Niera, the progress that you can make is even more difficult than what I could make. I don't believe that you can make progress in improving your Perfect Domain when what you merely did was rely on your man to reach this level."

Brim Hisler sneered as he took a sword out that brimmed with intense light, its golden blade shining with a glorious glow. The others also took similar armaments that were made of Peak-Level King Grade Materials, but their prowess was almost as powerful as them.

"You stupid brat! Retreat now! I say retreat!"

In the Twilight Physician Hall's seating area, the Ancestor bellowed with a twisted expression on his face. The others looked similar because after they saw how Sophie Alstreim had improved, they had little to no doubt that Niera Alstreim also improved.

They couldn't sense their undulations from here to provide a detailed analysis, but they were far too sure of how this was going to play out as they looked at Niera Alstreim's confident eyes!

And just as they expected, a tremendous wave of flames began to flow in front of Niera. It grew and grew and began to envelop a vast space in front as though creating an impenetrable fiery wall. However, they recalled that she was a woman who took pride in her offensive capability.

To be using defense, could it be that she truly was disadvantaged at the moment?

Niera pushed her palm towards them.

*Shhh!~*

Abruptly, the tsunami of flames that finished forming rapidly moved towards them, causing Brim Hisler to raise his brows as an amused expression appeared on his face.

"Haha! Do you really think that spreading out your energy to tackle all of us would do you any good? I would've admired you more if you picked us out one by one!"

Brim Hisler's confidence grew as he looked at this scene. He raised his sword and struck out with force never seen from him before. It transformed into a severing light that, becoming energized by his light domain as it headed straight toward the tsunami of flames and struck! Simultaneously, the other energies like fire and wind struck as well, extinguishing and blowing out a significant portion of the fiery tsunami.

The five of them grinned at this sight.

Thinking that the tsunami of flames would collapse with their attack, they had already moved near it, wanting to pierce through so that they could corner Niera first. Obviously, this attack was a ruse so that she could try to escape in another direction.

"I don't think any person with a brain would dare to near a star, much less try to move through it."

However, an unamused voice echoed, causing the five of their hearts to palpitate.

What's wrong? They could see that the tsunami of flames was collapsing, so where was the harm? They became wary of her presence that could be lurking around them when they suddenly spotted or sensed two spherical flaming stars burning while glowing in radiant light.

This… she hid the two spheres in the tsunami of flames? No, sensing the energy within them, they quickly felt that it was made inside as it absorbed the entire fire tsunami!

"Wait…!"

"Turn them into ashes, Descending Sunset Tryst…"

Niera mumbled as she closed her fist when suddenly the two spheres headed towards each other and clashed, their bodies intersecting before imploding.

*Boom!~*

The implosion generated an intense amount of heat that engulfed the five of them, who managed to take complete defensive maneuvers at that moment.

"!!!"

The crowd outside didn't know what had happened as the projections of the six of them were filled with fiery light, engulfing their sight that the projections had to zoom out to see what was happening when they witnessed that the surrounding five kilometers were consumed in searing flames.

It was just a small distance when considered from the perspective of a Law Dominion Stage Cultivator. However, the five of them were in the disappeared tsunami of flames, causing the expressions of the Twilight Physician Hall to become awry and horrified.

Not only them but the thousands of people who concentrated on their battle became pale as well.

Did she kill them!?
