Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4087  Leaving the Goldlust Rat Minor Realm

"What do you mean by that?"

Zenova Artoria shot a look at Myria. Her voice was cold and her tone was one of a cat that had its tail stepped on, full of warning.

Myria knew she should choose her next words carefully. However, she didn't care.

"I'm asking if you do not want to be a part of the Davis Family, whether it be a sword or a wife."

"Mmph!~"

Zenova snorted as she turned to look away, "He humiliated me that day by making a proposal and daring to say that I could be the thirty-first wife, and you still think I would want to become his wife? What a joke~"

"However, that is something personal, and I wouldn't let it get in the way of our benefits, so stop making everything seem like we're so close that I want to become one with you people. What we have is purely a beneficial relationship, so being a sword is also not an option for me. I would rather want you all as a sword and shield."

"…"

Myria didn't respond. A faint smile hung on her lips behind her veil. She didn't say anything about it anymore.

"Once you have learned karmic techniques and we have rested enough, we'll leave. You're free to use this place as you please, but be mindful. We do not know if it can hide an Annihilative Heavenly Empyrean Tribulation or a tribulation of my and Davis's level. It most likely cannot, so we need Andiron to grow in strength and nurture the formation core with his improved blood essence."

"I know. By the time I reach the peak of the Immortal Emperor Stage and become ready to break through, Andiron would already be at the Empyrean Beast Stage, and the formation core would naturally be strengthened. At that time, I will be more than happy to use this place and expend all the energy in the formation core."

Zenova giggled with amusement as though what she was planning was to make things difficult for them in the future.

Myria couldn't be bothered to correct her. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Towards Andiron, she was grateful. He didn't ask a single question and did matters as he was asked. It was no wonder Davis trusted him to put a karmic veil on the mini realm. She made a mental note to save Andiron's family when it was time.

Nonetheless, they spent the next few days resting. After all, creating these runes, etching them, and spreading them over the skies to make a massive formation that spanned over a three billion-kilometer radius was no ordinary feat. It couldn't even said to be difficult.

They took seven days to make this formation, even with their massive soul force reserves. One day to learn the necessary runes from Tia and Myria. One day to set up the blueprint of the formation, casting a spirit array over the land and the skies to host the runes. Five days to create the runes and weave them before spreading them around concisely without making a single mistake. It was a nightmare.

However, Zenova was just the opposite. Even though she was also exhausted, she learned everything she could from Tia, using this chance to become more knowledgeable.

Myria admired this quality of hers. Without this character, she couldn't be so arrogant, much less want to compete with Davis and her.

Because of this, she didn't hurry and granted one more day for Zenova to learn skills from Tia.

Myria counted the days. It was very important to her as there was the Covenant.

They had left on the twentieth day.

On the twenty-second day, she underwent her heavenly tribulation.

On the twenty-third day, they appeared in the Goldlust Rat Minor Realm and found Zenova.

On the twenty-fourth day, they began to build a karmic-illusion formation.

Then, seven days went by, and on the first day of the second month, they finished the spirit formation.

They rested for one day, so on the second day, Vereina underwent her Empyrean Tribulation.

They fully recovered in three days but also gave Zenova one extra day to learn, so it was now the sixth day of the second month.

There was a lot of time left until the ten years were up, so Myria felt relaxed. With this spirit formation, their people could all undergo their tribulations smoothly.

She wondered how Davis was doing by now.

'By now, Everlight should've also evolved if all things went well…'

Myria then went out of the palace. They had set it up since this place would also become one of their base here. Perhaps creating a teleportation formation here or nearby could also be necessary for quick movement. However, she felt that could be done another day.

After all, a teleportation formation would create extreme spatial undulations. That would be a dead giveaway, so they must plan some other way.

"It's time to leave."

She called out.

More people appeared outside the palace. Lereza, Illumina, and Vereina all flared with intense undulations before suppressing them. Clearly, both Lereza and Vereina managed to stabilize their cultivations. Not anyone could pick up their cultivation base easily.

As for Illumina, if she wanted to conceal, she could conceal her entire self.

Andiron came next, also appearing to have been somewhat healed as Myria had healed him until he could at least fly without a problem. Otherwise, he would've fallen into a state of shock for burning thirty-five percent of his blood essence. He might've not woken up for the next decade as a magical beast's body might automatically try to preserve itself from dying and restore strength by absorbing heaven and earth energy.

In other words, he might've entered a state of hibernation.

Finally, Tia appeared.

"Where's Zenova?"

"She studied hard. She's an excellent talent but fell asleep two hours ago and just woke up after she heard your voice."

Tia sent a soul transmission, full of giggles.

"…" Myria could only smile faintly, "She's stubborn, not understanding that she feels safe enough with us to fall asleep even if exhaustion is wracking her body."

Tia giggled more.

A while later, Zenova's voice resounded, "You can all leave. I'll stay for some time, practicing before leaving."

"Alright. Be safe."

Myria responded and turned around while Tia could barely contain herself.

"Hehe~ She's embarrassed enough not to come out. Otherwise, she would surely be making some provocations again before sending us off."

Hearing Tia's soul transmission, Myria smilingly shook her head. She knew Zenova could tell that she felt safe enough to be with them, but she knew that Zenova was the type to contort it and think she fell asleep because she thought that they were naive people who wouldn't harm her.

But the main thing was she was more worried about Tia's capacity to handle Zenova. That came as a surprise for her. She could tell Tia wasn't as cheeky as she seemed to be, hiding many secrets.

Zenova watched them leave as she stood before a window.

Her cheeks were covered in a faint layer of warmth, but she took a deep breath, calming herself.

"A bunch of fools… yet, why am I so vexed at their unity?"

She mumbled, appearing to mull over her way of life.

She looked up, her gaze becoming turbid, "Imperial father, were you wrong all along…? Can I really trust… others…?"

Millions of kilometers away, Myria and the others were already making their way back to the Ghostly Crow Lower Realm on a flying boat. They were crossing a mountain range when suddenly, a giant formation enveloped them.

"…!" Myria was slightly alarmed.

This was a Mid-Level Empyrean Grade Sealing Formation. Illumina, Vereina, and Lereza instantly covered the flying boat, ready to break through this sealing formation and flee.

"Halt! Leave your wealth, or you won't be spared!"

A stern voice echoed around this mountain region.

It suddenly made Myria's expressions and those of the others go odd.

This wasn't the doing of Heaven's Warriors…?

"Bandits…"

Illumina clicked her tongue with disdain, "I'll take care of them."

She disappeared, reappearing somewhere else in the region.

"Ah! Save me! I'm still a virgin- oh wait, Illumina, is that you?"

"…"

Myria and the others blinked before the atmosphere rather went extremely silent. They waited for a few more seconds before Illumina dropped a lot of bodies on the flying boat. They weren't knocked out but seemed both nervous and excited.

"Lest Mistwalker…"

Myria's gaze flickered as he looked at the man and the other inmates who were imprisoned in the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm along with Illumina.

They were none other than the Space Gnawing Rat, Thunderhoof Ox, Four-Winged Emberstripe Tiger, Dark Dragon, Phantom Gaze Cobra, Obsidian Lightning Kirin, Pelagic Serenity Turtle, Three-Headed Hydra, Wind Phoenix, Azuretail Shadow Wolf, and an Illusory Sunshade Fox.
