Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1576 - Grandson?

Chapter 1576 - Grandson?

In the skies above Davis and the others, Isabella resumed her battle with Zlatan Family's Patriarch.
She shot towards him after that brief pause from witnessing the death of Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross. Knowing that her man was the sole reason for Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross's death, she was full of energy and even felt her heart pound rapidly at the feat he accomplished.
But at the same time, she was worried because she knew that he could've sacrificed some of his soul essences.
"Die!"
With a cry of fury, a brownish-golden light emerged as she cut down with her sword.
*Clang!~*
Zlatan Family's Patriarch also struck above, their golden swords clashing as it created an enormous wave of power that split multiple layers of clouds apart.
The Zlatan Family Patriarch's arm kept trembling from their clash. Isabella still swung her sword, intending to cut to overpower him, but it was clear to her that she could not overpower him.
If they had fought below, they would have surely crushed the barrier and flattened the city just by their shockwaves.
"Isabella? Who are you? Where are you from?"
But contrary to her disappointment, the Zlatan Family Patriarch's appeared to be extremely shocked by her prowess that he couldn't help but ask.
However, Isabella ignored him and parried, bringing her sword up before she swung it down again.
*Clang!~*
The Zlatan Family Patriarch's defended against her sword strike, feeling pressured. A mark of the golden dragon emerged on his forehead as he forcefully waved his hand.
*Boom!~*
Isabella was sent flying by his abrupt increase in strength, but at the same time, a brownish-golden mark dragon image appeared on her forehead as she shot towards him. The Zlatan Family Patriarch's had just shaken off Isabella and shot below. However, before he could even reach halfway, she caught up to him, swinging her sword with the same intensity yet largely different as he felt as if there was a mountain crashing down upon him!
*Clang!~*
His arm severely shook as he took on her the force of her golden sword, making him feel inwardly shocked.
"...!?"
No one could make him, the Zlatan Family Patriarch's, feel as if he was being pressured. If he dared to say that he is the second most powerful in sheer physical might, who would dare to say they were first!?
After all, he possessed the blood of the Golden Dragon, and unlike the other three dragons, the Fire Dragon, the Water Dragon, and the Wind Dragon, his Golden Dragon boasted extraordinary might!
However, the woman above him, making him tremble in retaliation, was merely a Low-Level Martial Overlord Stage powerhouse, but her prowess was almost as equal as him, making him feel deeply shocked and wonder what her bloodline could be as it felt similar to Earth Dragon's blood that had already declined in the Fifty-Two Territories.
Nevertheless, this became the most ridiculous scene he had ever seen in his lifetime. None even came close to this woman's ability to cross three levels in the Ninth Stage that he couldn't help but feel the trepidation in his heart grow without his consent!
At the same time, he became highly fumed.
How could they have lost such a woman to someone else?
"Don't get c.o.c.ky!"
His rage almost got to his head as he held the sword with both hands that became abruptly covered in golden scales and thrust his sword above, causing Isabella to be pushed back slightly. However, her fists also became covered in dragon scales as she attacked.
*Clang!~*
From the above! Left and right!
*Clang!~*
Again and again, they clashed with their golden swords as they created waves of sharp might that would've cleaved the city below multiple times if they fought near the surface.
Isabella looked at his golden sword, and coupled with hers, their material appeared to be both of equal prowess, causing them unable to gain the advantage against each other. If they continued battling at this pace, it might very well lead to a few days before they run out of their martial energy.
However, the Zlatan Family's Patriarch understood like the Poison Lord that time was of the essence. His goal was to somehow defeat or get past her and kill Davis, but she wouldn't let him go, constantly tailing his figure as he attacked him with heavy-handed attacks with the intent to kill.
He couldn't show his back or could only receive her heavy attacks.
However, how could he let himself become injured, much less critically injured?
As the Patriarch, he must maintain his health and integrity so as not to lose against three other Dragon Families. Not only had they lost a Grand Elder, but they were also already overburdened with taking care of the Golden Dragon Valley, unlike the other three Dragon Families who were living in the three of the Four Great Righteous Sects Territories.
He harrumphed, wanting to take out his Zlatan Family's Legacy Artifact, when a sudden boom echoed below.
When they looked down, they sensed numerous undulations of powerhouses disappear as if they were candles that had their flames snuffed out. Their expressions became one of disbelief before a voice echoed.
"Hehehe~ As expected of my husband."
Isabella cheerfully echoed as she smirked at the Zlatan Family's Patriarch, whose expression became unsightly.
"You...! Tell me the truth, have you found an Immortal Inheritance!?"
He bellowed at Isabella and asked, but she stayed mute, not saying anything to his questions but looked as if she was going to attack him if he moved with that crazy glint in her eyes.
It made him both angry and hesitant to attack her because she was just going to harass him again, letting him not reach Davis. He didn't know why he even accepted the Poison Lord's proposal seamlessly since he didn't even seem to be doing his job.
But, he glanced below and saw the tiny dot, which was Davis.
If he possessed this much power to take out so many powerhouses, including the Soul Emperor, was he truly capable of obtaining revenge at this point?
He couldn't tell what happened below, but if Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross died to this brat, wasn't there a chance that he could also die?
He couldn't believe what he was even thinking. Becoming scared of a youth who became lucky from obtaining an Immortal Inheritance, but if he wanted to pull away, this was the time.
However, how could he just let it go like this!?
His expression became ruthless as he tried to forget about Davis and targeted Isabella. If he let her grow at least a level more, she could become even more of a threat than Davis would be as she would be able to defeat him!
Davis and Poison Lord glared at each other in the skies below, the former opening his mouth to speak after killing eleven powerhouses with his avatar while using the Flame Providence Talisman.
"Don't you think you should've listened to me and took care of the Zlatan Family's Patriarch? Are you regretting targeting my people?"
Davis mocked as he possessed a deep smile on his face.
"The only thing I regret is not considering killing you..."
The Poison Lord's palm shone with a dark crimson light, looking as if he was about to unleash his strongest hex technique.
Isabella and the Zlatan Family's Patriarch were glaring at each other as well, both of them appearing as if they were about to burn their essence blood to quickly finish the battle. However, their expressions changed when they suddenly sensed something below.
Abruptly, an old lady appeared near the bloodied corpse of Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross.
The surroundings became silent for her. Her dull black pupils started to tremble before she felt her knees go weak and knelt. Her wide eyes kept looking at the bloodied corpse, which didn't have a face but only flesh and veins.
"My grandson!~~~"
A wailing voice reverberated with immense sorrow, causing the expressions of the people nearby to change!
*Bzzz!~*
A wave of soul force abruptly erupted from the old lady, causing thousands of people nearby to die in a few kilometers radius!
The sudden loss of many lives and the massive undulations from this old lady caused the battle above to stop while all of their expressions became incredulous as their eyes shot wide in shock and trepidation!
Davis abandoned the fight above and instantly shot below. His expression was unsightly as he realized that the bit of danger that still lingered even after killing the Soul Emperor wasn't the Poison Lord nor the Zlatan Family's Patriarch but this old lady who seemed to mourn the death of her grandson!
The Zlatan Family's Patriarch widened his eyes in shock!
"That... That's Old Lady Merlight!?"
He recognized her as one of the two Peak-Level Emperor Soul Stage Soul Emperors from the Soul Palace!!!
