Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 3682 A Day's End In The Candidacy

Chapter 3682 A Day's End In The Candidacy

Sometime later, when Isabella, Flamerose, and Frostrose collected all the required Crystal Units, they headed towards the Fourth Hidden Pagoda.
Being able to fly better for short distances, Flamerose and Frostrose carried Isabella.
They flew over that Peak-Level Immortal Emperor Crystal Beast Dragon and landed in the vicinity of the Fourth Hidden Pagoda, shocking many inheritors.
"Isabella!"
Crystia yelled out.
She swiftly rushed to Isabella, her Immortal Emperor Stage undulations brimming with vitality. However, she came to a stop as Flamerose and Frostrose stood in front of Isabella, defending her.
"It's fine…"
Isabella calmed them and walked towards Crystia, her lips curling, "I see you still haven't entered the Fourth Hidden Pagoda yet."
"Unfortunately, yes…" Crystia felt embarrassed.
Isabella told her to take care of the Fourth Hidden Pagoda and win it. However, they simply lacked the Crystal Units required to enter the Fourth Hidden Pagoda, so after Isabella left and the crystal mountain nearby was occupied by that Peak-Level Immortal Emperor Crystal Beast Dragon, they never got the chance to enter.
"We found a crystal mountain on the opposite side, but it is infested with High-Stage Immortal Emperor Crystal Beasts right now, so we only need to wait a bit more until our supply of Crystal Units comes, and we'll be able to enter."
Crystia smirked. She came closer and patted Isabella's shoulder, sending her a physical soul transmission.
"Don't worry. We'll kick out those newly joined idiots who replaced you and take back your rightful place."
"Nothing is rightful here~" Isabella replied with a cynical smile, but she quickly hid it behind her veil.
"However, I'm joining it even if it costs me tooth and nail." She waved her hand, appearing to suppress some kind of extreme fury, "I got helpers. We'll evict Girias, Harmon, and one other guy, giving space for me, Zahara, and Yeyin."
"O-okay…"
Crystia's brows twitched lightly.
Isabella's Emperor-Tier undulations didn't exactly ripple, but they formed inwardly as though her blood essence boiled, causing Crystia to want to kowtow in order to escape infringing on her wrath. She could sense Isabella was royally pissed, not knowing what exactly happened other than guessing that Girias and Harmon had something to do with it.
Isabella took a glance at the others who remained there.
Out of the twenty-nine people who had gathered back then, three inheritors were at Level Eight Immortal King Stage, seven inheritors at Level Seven Immortal King Stage, fourteen inheritors at Level Six Immortal King Stage, and four inheritors at Level Five Immortal King Stage.
Now, only eleven people with lower cultivation bases, meaning people who climbed higher steps, remained here while the others had apparently gone to mine.
Now that two seals had broken, their cultivations had all increased by two.
They were also liable for chasing her away, but she needed them in order to enter the Fourth Hidden Pagoda right now, so she decided to deal with them later in an appropriate manner.
She waited, looking for Girias and Harmon to return so she could deal them a death blow.
Flamerose and Frostrose touched the Fourth Hidden Pagoda and saw that they required sixteen thousand Crystal Units each. It was simply an exorbitant amount, but since they had plundered that entire crystal mountain, they were now stacked with riches.
With Isabella, they were now in possession of three hundred and ten High-Level Immortal Crystal Vein Sources and twenty-nine thousand High-Level Immortal Crystal Vein Fragments, which meant they were now in possession of forty-seven thousand Crystal Units.
Isabella had free entry, so this was more than enough for them to enter.
Now, all they had to do was wait for those who lacked Crystal Units to collect their share and return.
Isabella was losing her patience every minute, almost feeling like she should fund this group since they were taking too long to return.
*Tack!~*
At this moment, Isabella felt her third seal shatter. Similarly, the others also reacted, feeling their third seal, if they had one, disperse from their dantian. However, their expressions were not good as this was the third Hidden Pagoda that was cleared before the day was almost going to end , but they still hadn't cleared theirs.
This meant one-third of the rewards available were already grabbed, leaving less for them.
'I hope Evelynn and Shirley were the ones to have cleared two of the three Hidden Pagodas…'
Isabella sincerely wished.
For them, she also suppressed her urge to slaughter and waited for Girias and Harmon to return. She guessed people might've died to the powerful beasts or escaped or even ambushed by the two of them while mining crystals, so if there weren't enough people, she had to prepare herself to ignore their presence so they could all enter the Fourth Hidden Pagoda.
Otherwise, she was only going to get delayed.
For Evelynn and Shirley, Isabella felt she must clear this trial as fast as possible since it would also help them, increasing their chances of survival since it would shatter one of their cultivation seals.
The Candidates were already ascending into the Immortal Emperor Stage, so she was extra worried for them. As for herself, she had Flamerose and Frostrose, so she wasn't worried much. Although she couldn't tell what they were thinking, she had heard from Shirley that they were an honorable bunch, so she expected them to adhere to their words.
And as she expected, Girias and Harmon returned— with fewer people than required.
"…"
Isabella glared at them, noticing that they had become Immortal Emperors. They were grinning at her as though they weren't afraid, but noticing Zahara and Yeyin, their expressions turned cautious.
They wouldn't underestimate King-Tier Immortal Emperor Phoenixes.
Looking at them stare at each other, Crystia and Noctis wanted to know what happened between them. They knew Isabella should've been ambushed if she was this hostile against them but since she didn't say anything, they kept quiet.
"Let's start."
Isabella uttered coldly.
Her presence, along with Flamerose and Frostrose's presence, allowed them to make up for the required numbers. Girias and Harmon didn't say anything.
They all got together and the Fourth Hidden Pagoda flashed with a white light, highlighting all the people involved as it projected the total number of Crystal Units required for all of them, allowing them to chalk out every ounce of crystal they had.
As soon as the requirement was met, they all disappeared from the scene.
"…"
The Peak-Level Immortal Crystal Beast Dragon that had been guarding the crystal mountain below them narrowed its eyes as though wondering where they had gone.
Inside the Fourth Hidden Pagoda, Isabella woke up to a string of words appearing in front of her eyes.
