Divine Emperor of Death

*RUMBLE!!!~*

"What!?"

Above the mountain where the Void Dust Secret Realm was located, dark tribulation clouds descended, gleaming with an ominous glow as the world darkened. It sent the Immortal Kings retreating as they felt significantly pressured, unable to imagine that someone invoked a heavenly tribulation of this level.

However, their astonishment only grew as they saw the dark clouds spread for hundreds of kilometers and beyond, covering the size of an entire Province by itself. The people under the range of the dark clouds were shocked beyond compare that they came to a stop, unable to move as the incredible pressure of the heavenly tribulation washed over them.

Feelings of reverence and fear swelled from their heart as they looked at the skies, some even bowing and asking for forgiveness.

From a vast distance, numerous figures shot a look in the direction of the Zyrus Family Prefecture, sensing a great anomaly in the heaven and earth energy.

One thing they had in common was they were all Immortal Kings and above, but most of them who were the nearest to the source came to a similar conclusion as their brows squinted in shock.

"An Anarchic Divergent? Who!?"

They all recognized the incredible pressure weighing down on the region, hurriedly wanting to see what was going on. However, they didn't dare go near the range of the heavenly tribulation, afraid that they would be infected with karmic burden as there was such superstition.

After all, a mere Immortal Tribulation wouldn't cover more than three kilometers, but it went beyond and covered more than ninety thousand kilometers. It was undoubtedly an Annihilative Immortal Tribulation, something far worse than a Destructive Tribulation that would spread to thirty kilometers in range.

But still, the Immortal Kings who were already there at the source had their expressions turn ugly.

Without caring about their juniors, they hurried and retreated like they had seen something horrific.

The same went for the Zyrus Family's two Immortal Kings.

"Young Master Klein is an Anarchic Divergent? Wha-what's going on?"

"How should I know!? However, if Young Master Klein is really an Anarchic Divergent, it's better for us not to leave too far. He would need our help to leave the area safely."

"You're right. We better contact the Patriarch as well..."

The two of them hurriedly communicated through soul transmission and contacted their Patriarch. However, the Patriarch already got wind of it and was already on his way. However, like everyone else, he didn't dare enter the dark region, telling the two of them to wait closer since they were already inside the range of the Annihilative Heavenly Tribulation.

The two of them could only choose to obey despite the trepidation in their hearts, their gazes falling on the distant mountain cave where the Void Dust Secret Realm lay.

With each passing moment, numerous major figures were alerted, and the entire world was alarmed over the birth of an Anarchic Divergent.

Inside the secret realm, the skies began to crumble as dark clouds began manifesting, causing thunder to rumble throughout the entire space.

"Mother~ What's going on!?"

A teenage girl's voice rang out with incomparable fear etched on her face. Her spatial blur also collapsed, revealing her beautiful fairy-like face. Her purple hair heavily fluttered in the stormy region. However, she wasn't even in mind to care about such trivialities as she trembled and curled herself up.

As a tree, the heavenly lightning was the most fearsome existence in her life, invoking the instinct of fear. However, she had seen people invoking their immortal tribulation here in a fit of desperation, but none of them could compare to this monstrosity that left her cold.

However, a burst of warmth abruptly covered her as a silhouette appeared behind her and embraced her.

Feeling safer, Stella Voidfield turned to look at her mother with fearful eyes.

"The Heavenly Laws are extremely angered. But don't worry, it won't target you." The curvy figure shrouded by the violet hue of the starry sky spoke with warmth.

However, she couldn't help but raise her head, her brows narrowing into tiny slits of a limitless void as her gaze pierced through the veil of the secret realm and looked at the phenomenon occurring outside.

"The appearance of the Annihilative Immortal Tribulation marks the appearance of an Anarchic Divergent. To think someone like that made contact with you. Is it fate or a coincidence...?"

Her head lowered, and her gaze fell on the black-robed man whose robes fluttered in the blazing wind.

He seemed fearless or, rather, possessed a mocking expression on his face as he hovered above ground level. This sense of daringness made the mother tree silhouette narrow her eyes more, wondering what was truly up with this human who seemed full of confidence.

Moreover, she recognized the purplish golden hue covering his body like he was a saint. How could anyone of this level possibly be unknown? She couldn't understand.

"Mother, will Mo Tian survive?" abruptly came the soft voice of Stella Voidfield, who seemed still scared.

"... Nine out of ten times, Anarchic Divergents won't survive their tribulation. Even in the First Haven World, there are only five Anarchic Divergents known to be around."

"But mother, I want Mo Tian to survive..."

"Silly child. The heavens don't want him, but you want him? Then you should be prepared to go against the heavens."

"..." Stella Voidfield became speechless.

*Rumble!~*

Lightning flashed as snakes swirled through the dark clouds. Thunder rumbled, causing the thousands of living beings in the Void Dust Secret Realm to be scared silly. They didn't dare move either, nor did they understand what was going on, cowering as they protected their heads with fear overwhelming their hearts.

Just what kind of tribulation was this? They had never heard of it, much less thought that they would be in the storm of it. However, there were a few eyes that rapidly shook, wondering if this had something to do with Mo Tian or Dead End.

As for the recipients of their doubts, they were one and the same person. He was hovering with an overwhelming amount of energy surging from him.

The aura of three types of energies burst out of Davis like a tidal wave, filling the region.

It was like he was inviting the immortal tribulation to strike him already, but even after five seconds passed, it refused to strike him.

But at the eighth second, he could see the numerous snakes that slithered above the dark clouds gather at the center, transforming into a mighty dragon.

'Fuck, the first strike is already that willful dragon...?'

Davis's brows twitched, but the next second, it abruptly flashed, disappearing from his view.

"Aooo!~"

A blackish-red lightning dragon dived towards the ground in an instant, bringing with it a thundering storm and a huge pressure that made Stella Voidfield feel like she was going to be crushed if it weren't for her mother.

Even Davis felt shaken.

However, his calm eyes were utterly fixed on it. The moment it appeared above him, his hand swung in an arc with full force as earthen martial energy encased his palm and chaotic martial energy thrummed inside.

*Bang!~*

Davis slapped the dragon's face out of existence. The resulting strands of blackish-red lightning tried to disperse without a Will, but he gathered them with his soul force and began amalgamating them with his life energy.

He was already in possession of destruction heavenly lightning, so his heavenly lightning was considered more powerful than heavenly flames or on the same level. But now, the heavenly lightning was blackish-red in color, signifying a heavenly change in quality, and the aggressive and tyrannical prowess was also at large.

Looking at his palm, which had become slightly red, it was all the more indicative of its terrifying prowess.

He was slightly more shaken.

After all, even with all trouble he went through to gather karmic virtue and karmic sin to tier three to cast Karmicgrace upon himself and lower the immortal tribulation's prowess by two levels and even if he included the formation disc that made the tribulation's prowess lower by one level, his immortal tribulation was still eight levels higher at the start.

But still, the first heavenly lightning strike was still not something worthy to break his body tempered by the Grand Chaos Body Art. That gave him immense confidence as opposed to becoming disheartened.

'Hehe. So I do get an Annihilative Immortal Tribulation...'

He couldn't help but smile, realizing that he was truly considered an Anarchic Divergent and also coming to understand that he had a good chance to upgrade his heavenly lightning's intrinsical prowess.

However, not even for a moment did he underestimate the next volley as death energy and heavenly lightning surged from his body, coming to his aid as they formed into a bluish-black heavenly spear clenched in his hand as a sea of death floated around him.

"...!"

It brought incomparable shock to the mother tree silhouette, whose eyes were wide as a pair of dark moons.

"Davis Alstreim... was it?"
