Divine Emperor of Death

*Whizz~*

The flying ship shuddered as the turbulence was great when shifting in another direction. Upon turning, it quickly flew ahead in the western direction of the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm. Their ship, which was fully cloaked, sailed through the clear skies, but it was looming as a real threat.

Davis and the others' hearts pounded.

Despite the concealment, they couldn't shake off the fear of getting caught by the Infernal Haze Retribution Cloud.

"Keep an eye on the surroundings. We'll change directions again if it's necessary."

Davis instructed, his voice tense.

Isabella nodded, her expression a bit tired as it took her an enormous amount of energy to activate the Concealment Talisman, which means this talisman's grade was at least at the peak of Low-Level Autarch Grade, which means as strong as a Level Three Autarch.

"This thing is unlike anything we've faced before. Let's hope the talisman conceals us, or we're screwed either way."

Davis chuckled as he looked at the others.

They smiled and nodded, heaving a heavy breath as they prepared themselves. They knew if they were harassed by the Infernal Haze Retribution Cloud, even if they could escape, the Realm Master or the royal family of the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm would soon be upon them.

They hoped it was not the Realm Master. Otherwise, they would be screwed no matter what happens, as the concealment possibly could not block the Realm Master's senses at such a close distance.

Founder Alstreim also kept a firm grip on the flying ship's controls, his eyes darting between the navigation instruments and the approaching threat, ready to act at a moment's notice. Due to concealment, the ship's speed was slow.

He was also thinking that if he could take a small flying boat and distract the Infernal Haze Retribution Cloud as he flew off in the opposite direction, that would also be good. If his sacrifice could save his descendant, then he couldn't be honored anymore, but he feared exposing this ship as a result since the concealment could be disrupted and become undone.

Klade gawked, wondering if a fire-attributed magical beast, a Burning Phoenix like him, would be good bait.

Was it time? Was it finally time for him to go out in a blaze, or rather, succumb to a cloudy blaze?

Despite the anxious emotions everyone was feeling, the flying ship calmly sailed.

The crimson dot grew bigger and bigger as it quickly rushed towards them.

Soon, they were able to see its appearance.

It was nothing short of malevolence incarnate.

Its size was similar to that of an Immortal Emperor Beast, reaching six hundred meters in radius. Its form constantly shifted and churned, composed of dark crimson swirling mists that seemed to contain a flaming sea within it. Occasionally, there were flashes of fiery red and streaks of black lightning, enhancing its sinister appearance.

At the front of its turbulent, cloudy body, Davis and the others could discern the visage of a stern, menacing face, its eyes glowing with a fierce, unrelenting intensity of vengeance. It seemed to hate the world, as the aura it gave off was full of eerie malevolence.

As soon as it was a hundred kilometers away, it came to a stop, looking left and right with its glowing crimson eyes.

"…!"

Evelynn and the others' hearts skipped a beat.

It had certainly spotted them from far away. Fortunately, it seemed to have lost track of their flying ship thanks to the Concealment Talisman. They wanted to thank Autarch Metenoa at this moment. However, if they had not wasted time subduing him and were on their way, would they have met with this calamity?

It was hard to tell.

Davis clenched his teeth.

Was this also the bad luck of an Anarchic Divergent?

This lifeform was similar to the Unfettered Gargantuan Ice Fiend in threat, a Void Class Calamity.

A Void Class Calamity is a calamity that occurs anywhere in the three layers of space within the Three-Layered Universe, ranging from an exploding star to a freezing ice star or even a devouring spatial vortex like a spacequake, but it also includes lifeforms such as the Unfettered Gargantuan Ice Fiend and Voidslime Realm Eater, beings capable of causing immense destruction for no reason other than to wreak havoc and grow into an even more destructive entity.

They were capable of growing into a Realm Class Calamity, meaning that they could bring about the end of a realm.

And this lifeform was closer to a Realm Class Calamity. He didn't doubt it could destroy an empty Minor Realm in a period of years. After all, if the Minor Realm was occupied, it would surely meet great resistance from the Empyreans and Autarchs.

Fortunately, they were in a Lower Realm, so it was unlikely they could burn down the realm. But this didn't matter to them, as they were not the owners of the Lower Realm. What mattered to them was that now it was looking to wreak havoc, and it had targeted their flying ship out of nowhere.

Davis couldn't help but think that some kind of mastermind was painting a target on him for no reason other than to watch him suffer.

The Infernal Haze Retribution Cloud remained floating in the skies for some time, its eyes constantly searching. But after five minutes, it finally began continuing its path without a change in direction.

"Phew…"

Davis and the others finally released their breaths.

By now, they were hundreds of kilometers away from it. The path to the Earth Dragon Border Town wasn't also straight, so he guessed that its direction wasn't entirely leading to the Metenoa Family.

He guessed it would be fine to leave it alone.

"Haha, we're safe~" Shirley grinned cheekily.

Her melodious voice brought some laughter to the group.

*Bzzzz!~*

But abruptly, numerous Empyrean and Autarch auras began to descend on their area.

Davis and the others were startled before they saw a spatial gate open in the skies in the path of the Infernal Haze Retribution Cloud. It also noticed their presence, hurling a flaming strike at them from its flaming, cloudy body before they could even exit.

However, a black-and-white-robed man stepped out.

Light energy abruptly surrounded the spatial gate while the hurling ball of dark crimson flames crashed against it, exploding into a soaring purgatory of pure destruction. It caused an enormous shockwave to expand, sending waves of wind that carried Davis's flying boat faster.

Fortunately, their concealment didn't take a hit.

However, they saw that a black-white-robed man with white hair was walking out of the explosion as though nothing had happened.

"…!"

Davis's heart skipped a beat as he sensed that person's undulations.

This person was a Level Three Empyrean. Behind him, a few middle-aged men appeared, numbering three.

All three of them were Level Two Autarchs and their facial features were quite similar.

"My word… it's the royal family of the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm…"

Shirley softly spoke, as she felt like she had spoken too soon.

*Fuuuu!~*

At this moment, the Infernal Haze Retribution Cloud screamed at them and threw a few more fireballs, as though it had catapulted them out of its body. Each fireball was enough to eradicate an entire town. If this fell on Highnode Town, then the entire core area would be eradicated in an instant.

The three Autarchs moved at this moment. They rushed out in an aligned manner and each of them moved their hands in such a way that they formed a triangle.

"A battle formation…!"

Davis's eyes widened. He and the others saw them combine their powers. The man standing at the top surged with darkness energy, while the two underneath him on the sides expended light energy. Their transcendent energies fueled the spirit battle formation and surged forth with a twilight sword that glowed black and white.

It was as big as a broadsword that was four times bigger.

The three Autarchs then waved their hands forward as they softly said in unison, "Kill~"

The giant broadsword cleaved through the giant fireballs, causing them to implode mid-air, but the broadsword didn't stop. Its undulations reverberated densely, its prowess nearing the Level Four Autarch Stage and striking the Infernal Haze Retribution Cloud!

*Fuua!!!~*

It let out a furious roar of pain, glaring at them as its eyes glowed like a volcano. Its entire body suddenly glowed before it unleashed havoc of black lightning energy on them. But it didn't stay there, rushing away as it seemed to recognize that it was at a disadvantage.

"Fuck…!"

But Davis cursed, as it was coming straight for them by some eerie coincidence.

"Turn it… turn the ship now!"

He cried out in fury, but Founder Alstreim was already on it. The ship shuddered as it swayed heavily again, but fortunately, the turbulence wasn't that great as they were already going slowly.

However, the Infernal Haze Retribution Cloud was incredibly fast.

It looked as though it was going to ram them within three seconds!

At the same time, the Level Three Empyrean made a move. He finished gathering his light energy from the depths of all three cultivations connected through a single Immortal Vessel. Tremendous light energy made up of immortal essence energy, immortal martial energy, and immortal soul force turned into a bow and arrow, causing the atmosphere to quiver in its wake.

He nocked the arrow over the bowstring and unleashed it in an instant.

*Ripppp!~*

Space tore through its path, with the arrow heading straight towards the Infernal Haze Retribution Cloud!
