Divine Emperor of Death

Many people squinted their eyes at his oath to his two new brides.

It couldn't be that he would truly go that far for them, right?

It had to be known that immortals never easily swore to the heavens. It is the same even for wedding oaths, so people simply complete it with the words love and care. Not even the word faithful was used much when a woman married a man who already had many wives, much less accompanying one until death, as immortals lived simply too long to accept death.

Usually, the burden of an oath was on the women's side, and the man would simply accept it and reciprocate with an equal or less amount of responsibility. As for giving one's life, that was not usually the case when marrying the second wife, much less the seventh and the eighth wives.

They would not even be given attention most of the time, so to die for them, most of the disciples couldn't help but find it laughable, especially men, but some women also had their opinions change about him, thinking that he could be a good husband to all his wives.

However, what use was that when they all knew he was a Divergent who practically has a short life? No one would want to stay in a sinking ship, especially when it's one's relationship.

So for these women to want him and stay together, they still couldn't help but feel they were fools and doubt that they were in for the wealth.

But in reality, Sophie and Niera also looked at Davis, their eyes tearing up from happiness.

These words of commitment were what they had waited for all this while, and now that they heard it, they couldn't help but feel their souls fulfilled.

"Ridiculous. If you're shameless, it's fine. But you dare to lie and make a false oath under the heavens? No wonder you're a Divergent."

Suddenly, a female voice sounded with disdain, causing everyone's heads to swivel in her direction.

Even Davis, Sophie, and Shirley were disturbed out of their felicitous emotions, turning to look at the source of the voice.

It was a white-robed woman with sharp brows and a small nose. She didn't hide her gorgeous face, letting her features be witnessed by all.

Davis remembered that this was the woman who kicked a black-robed man just a while ago and received no aggression in return. Even now, she possessed an indifferent expression as though what she said had nothing to do with her, causing him to blink.

Was it just a random comment that was meant to be a whisper or something but was accidentally said out loud?

Thinking this way, he ignored it, but obviously, many people agreed with her.

Naturally, they came to the conclusion that he was lying or didn't mean it when he was making that oath. After all, the heavens supposedly understood the intent of a lifeform, but even then, an oath was still an oath, so they knew it was still going to end up badly for him.

But still, there were a few who didn't even feel like giving an inch at this moment.

"You're the one who is ridiculous for you to comment on our husband. Just what do you know about him?"

"Yeah, shut your mouth. He has done many things for us that if we don't believe him even now, we'll be ungrateful women- oh, it's now ungrateful wives."

Niera and Sophie yelled at her, with the latter correcting herself at the end and smiling at her own words like a fool. However, the white-robed woman merely looked away and didn't respond, as though she was embarrassed.

With her being pointed out, many thought she had conceded and returned to look at the groom and the bride. However, they heard that white-robed woman's words once again.

"Then, if I were to kill you both, would he dare to offend me?"

"…!"

The crowd felt shocked by her words, and their faces couldn't help but turn joyful. It was finally time for the drama they had come to see. However, it wasn't the people from the Fire Phoenix Clan nor the Earth Dragon Clan but someone else entirely.

They felt it was the ego of true disciples clashing here over here.

"And who are you supposed to be?" Niera narrowed her eyes as her joyful voice became icy.

She was really not finding it amusing that someone would dare to ask his qualifications, much less disturb their wedding proceedings.

"I'm Rea Tyriel, the Young Mistress of the Tyriel Family in the Northern Divide."

"…"

Niera was at a loss, not knowing what the Northern Divide was. However, her eyes also squinted further as she remembered the rankings, realizing that this woman was ranked fifth in the True Disciple Rankings - Immortal.

It was unknown how powerful she was but in her mind, could she even compare to her husband? She didn't think so and was about to answer, but at this moment, Davis's words fell into her mind, causing her to rethink her response.

"So what if your power owns a Domain all to yourselves? You still came here to learn under the Aurora Cloud Gate, which makes this sect the strongest. Do you think your power is going to storm into the Aurora Cloud Gate and attack us if we were to kill you?"

Niera's lips curved into a sneer, but that caused Rea Tyriel to smile lightly.

"Of course. The only reason I'm here is that I possess the Glazed Light Soul Physique, which my family doesn't know what to do about, but the Aurora Cloud Gate does. I don't mean to intrude or betray this sect because I will leave after I reach the peak of the Immortal King Stage as per the rules of the Aurora Cloud Gate's meritorious system. Also, I'll have you know that I'm the last immortal inheritor of the Lunar Crow Clan, and this is my immortal beast pet who's disobedient and lusting after me, Black Tyriel."

Abruptly, the black-robed man beside Rea Tyriel abruptly transformed into a black crow with white stripes and the symbol of a crescent moon on his forehead before landing on her shoulder. At that moment, everything went silent as people felt their hearts leap up their throats.

The aura of an Emperor-Tier Immortal Beast enveloped them, causing them to shiver in dread, instantly allowing them to recall who this man was.

Black Tyriel was ranked fourth in the True Disciple Rankings. At a glance, it seemed that this Emperor-Tier Lunar Crow was even stronger than Rea Tyriel, and recalling Rea Tyriel's dual status caused them to suck in a breath of cold air.

A person with a unique soul physique but also the immortal inheritor of a major power opposite to the Golden Crow Clan, not to mention the Young Mistress of a power that could be considered equivalent to their Aurora Cloud Gate?

Their heart couldn't stop pounding as they learned about this matter. The others who already knew couldn't help but look solemn, knowing what exactly her status mattered and that even the top disciple who was ranked first was pursuing her but having no luck.

"Young Miss Rea."

At this moment, Davis spoke as he garnered the crowd's attention. They instantly smiled, knowing that he conceded from the get-go with how politely he enunciated his words, but the next words he uttered spooked them beyond compare.

"In the case you somehow kill my two wives as you imagined, how do you want to die?"

His sharp words were like the strings of a zither, cutting into their very soul as their expressions changed, especially Rea Tyriel, whose eyes went wide.
