Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 868 Inside The Abode

Chapter 868 Inside The Abode

Logan, Davis, Evelynn, Natalya, and Princess Isabella were awed to varying degrees. To be able to produce fourteen Ninth Stage Powerhouses in ninety thousand years, it could be said that their opinion of the Alstreim Family had improved.
But, wasn't it said that the Alstreim Family only possessed a single Ninth Stage Powerhouse at the moment?
What exactly happened?
Claire wryly shook her head at seeing their curious faces.
"When the Alstreim Family entered a period of prosperity ninety thousand years ago, possessing five ancestor-level powerhouses, it slacked off, and the number of talents regularly decreased.
"It took thirty thousand years for the family to rejuvenate after numerous bloodshed and reforms. Just when the remaining ancestor of the five who was present at that time was going to die, it successfully produced another ancestor before producing five more ancestors in the subsequent forty thousand years."
"However, whether if they reached the end of their lifespan, went away to other Territories, or gave their lives away for the family, they all ended up dying one way or another, and that much has been pretty much confirmed. But, before they could all die, the Alstreim Family was blessed with three brothers from the same father and mother! All three of them were exceptional and were born in the previous ten-thousand year period."
"They entered the Law Rune Stage, the Ninth Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation when they were around two thousand years old after encountering a lucky chance in a mid-sized Territory. After their return to the Alstreim Family, they were grandly celebrated, and the last surviving ancestor was able to lay his life in peace."
"However, the heavens still couldn't help but feel jealous of the three brothers. In the battlefield of the Tripartite Alliance Territory, destruction ensued, and killing was rampant, even between Eighth Stage Experts. The corpses of Eighth Stage Experts could be even counted in the thousands; after all, it was a battlefield that included all the Nine Eastern Territories from the distant past."
"Of the three brothers, the first brother and the third brother lost their lives in a battle against the previous hegemon of the Vital Tempering Sect Territory. They were actually the ones to fall in the end. In any case, the first brother and the third brother fell into their trap and died. Only the second brother, Dian Alstreim, the only ancestor of the Alstreim Family, survived."
"Eventually, as decades passed, six of the nine powers decided to leave the Tripartite Alliance Territory after massive plundering, and the remaining three nearest powers, the Alstreim Family, Towering Cloud Hall, and Falling Snow Sect decided to form an alliance to govern the Tripartite Alliance Territory equally."
Claire finished speaking whatever she knew as a fact about the Alstreim Family's Ninth Stage Powerhouses.
"What a rich history!" Evelynn couldn't help but exclaim.
The Grand Sea Continent possessed Empires that only possessed a history of fewer than ten thousand years, excluding the Ruth Empire. On the other hand, the Alstreim Family alone possesses ninety thousand years of history!
Compared to the time they lived, it appeared utterly grand and long.
"Of course, the Alstreim Family has millions of people, and those millions of people were born in this ten thousand year period alone. Perhaps, each and one of them has an interesting story to tell!" Claire smiled.
"This... How long do Law Sea Stage Experts and Law Rune Stage Powerhouses live until they die naturally of old age?" Natalya curiously asked.
"If I remember correctly, Law Sea Stage Experts possess twelve thousand years of lifespan. As for Law Rune Stage Powerhouses, I recall that they have a lifespan of around thirty thousand years." Claire replied.
"Thirty thousand years!" Natalya exclaimed.
She cast a look at Davis before thinking, 'So the best I can live with him is for thirty thousand years. I-It is more than enough...'
However, her expression deflated.
'But... Why can't it be an eternity?'
Although no one looked at Natalya, Claire intently gazed at her before she giggled, "Don't worry. We haven't reached even a hundred years of age yet. You'll be able to live with my son for millenniums and have a fulfilling journey with him."
"Hahaha!"
Natalya blushed at being found out while the others laughed at her. It turned into a harmonious atmosphere.
Davis abruptly stood up, and the laughter stopped. They all looked towards the exit while Davis announced, "We've arrived."
At the next moment, a resounding voice bombarded, "The Alstreim Family greets the Conferred Queen's arrival. Let the gates open!"
*Rumble!~*
The sound of the gate lifting up could be heard within the hall.
Davis waved his hand, and a projection appeared before them. On the projection, there was a mountain range that stretched towards the horizons.
Claire narrowed her eyes as a sense of familiarity overcame her. This could be considered the outskirts of the Alstreim Family. She remembered that she had once trained here, hunting down magical beasts.
A figure could be seen rushing towards the projection, or accurately, in their direction. They could see it was none other than Elder Havle Alstreim.
"Looks like they have already identified us..." Davis smiled.
"How could they not? The Earth Dragon's Abode has the Earth Dragon patterns all over it. They likely sensed that the master of this abode is the Conferred Queen, who possesses an unknown dragon's bloodline." Princess Isabella replied, "It is inevitable for them to think that it is me, the Conferred Queen."
"Elder Havle Alstreim has come to receive us. As your subordinate, I must go greet him." Davis winked at Princess Isabella, causing her to smile.
He spontaneously reached out his hand, suddenly wrapping it around her waist.
"You-" Before Princess Isabella could even react, her lips were sealed.
"!!!"
Davis disappeared the next moment, causing Princess Isabella to stand at a loss, wondering why he did that suddenly.
Giggling sounds echoed behind her, causing her to blush, "Don't laugh..."
Evelynn suppressed her laughter as her bosoms shook, "Hehe, Davis is childish."
"Yes..." Natalya giggled, "Third sis, he's taking revenge since you made him your subordinate."
"He's the one who called himself that!" Princess Isabella acted furiously, but she turned away from them, still blushing like a maiden. After all, she was kissed in front of everyone, and that was just too embarrassing!
Logan and Claire looked at each other in bewilderment.
One was wondering how his son was able to keep his harem harmonious while the other wondered if she had accepted and consented her husband's harem, would it be like this?
Fun?
They both wryly shook their heads as they didn't know the answers to their question.
Davis appeared outside. Behind him, there was a hundred-meter tall structure that floated in a majestic and oppressing manner. Its width remained around fifty meters wide, imposing than the two arks of the Towering Cloud Hall and the Falling Snow Sect.
Elder Havle Alstreim's eyes gleamed as he looked at the Earth Dragon's Abode. He approved it as a work of art, and even with his Elder Soul Stage soul sense, he was unable to penetrate the exterior. He wasn't able to identify what kind of material this construct was made from, as it even blocked his soul sense from penetrating.
Usually, big constructs like these were only built with durable materials that could withstand physical impact. As for blocking the soul sense, it was secondary. No, accurately, it wasn't secondary, but materials that blocked soul sense were extremely rare, unobtainable, and expensive.
Even if it were obtained, only elite Construct Masters would be able to create such a masterpiece such as this King Grade Construct.
Elder Havle Alstreim couldn't help but feel envious of these people coming from large Territories. He looked at the approaching Alchemist Davis and clasped his hand, "Welcome to the Alstreim Family, Alchemist Davis Loret."
