Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2299 Departing

Chapter 2299 Departing
Hundreds of immortals stared at the sky above the monument in the West Ascendance Monument.
Everlight's ancestor, the Light Sky Wolf Immortal, stared at the Ascendance Rift. The faint image of the silhouette became clearer as a portion of a leg stepped out first. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but narrow further as they saw that the leg was huge.
The next thing to appear was a snout of an animal, causing most immortals to become stiff as they wondered if it was the Emperor of Death's death wolf. However, what appeared was a viridian-colored snout. It stepped out of the Ascendance Rift with its huge ninety-meter-tall and three hundred-meter-long body, causing immortal undulations to spread.
It froze upon seeing the hundreds of immortals while the others couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"A Viridian Lightning Fox…?"
"You! Come here!"
While everyone expressed some doubt, even astonishment, another female immortal couldn't help but shout. Despite beckoning for the Viridian Lightning Fox to come to her, she turned into a flash of dark viridian lightning and appeared before the Viridian Lightning Fox, turning into a huge Viridian Lightning Fox herself.
Her ruby eyes glimmered with disbelief before her large lips curved into a bright smile.
"What's your name?"
"…"
"Don't worry. I'm your ally. There hasn't been any Viridian Lightning Fox ascending for millions of years, making me worry that our race had gone extinct in the Fifty- I mean, the Grand Beginnings Continent. However, your presence is gratifying. Come, I'll lead you to our Viridian Lightning Fox Clan."
The newly ascended Viridian Lightning Fox's gaze shook.
"I'm… Anna…"
"Anna… a sweet name."
The Level Nine Immortal Viridian Lightning Fox raised her paw and patted Anna, causing the latter to feel strange as her big eyes became tearful, her ninety-meter-long viridian tail swinging with emotion.
"I know. It must've been hard on you… Follow me."
Anna saw her ancestor turn around and walk her out amidst the atmosphere that carried intense tension. She followed her ancestor with her four legs sauntering when suddenly, a relatively small figure blocked their path.
With a hundred-meter-long cyan-colored body and an equal-sized tail extending from big to small in thickness, two narrowed eyes stared down at the two viridian foxes.
"Move aside. I want to soulscour her."
"You better scram if you don't want my entire Viridian Lightning Fox Clan on your tail, you Cyan Soul Rat."
The Cyan Soul Rat's expression changed.
The Viridian Lightning Fox Clan's dark viridian lightning contained yin corrosive properties, making it so that it was deadly to souls, precisely countering its species.
"You'll regret uttering such words..."
The Cyan Soul Rat uttered with disdain before leaving their path as though not wanting to make a scene.
The two Viridian Lightning Foxes also returned to their position while the Immortal Kings, along with everyone, kept waiting for the next Ascendance Rift to appear.
As for the ascenders, they took their eyes off Anna.
They paid no attention to her, thinking that she came from the Grand Beast Viridian Mountain Range. The magical beasts living there were as many fish in the sea, and their Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beasts could be counted in the thousands. They knew of the Devilish Flame Fox as it was one of the three hegemons but didn't know that a Viridian Lightning Fox still existed.
Even the magical beasts themselves had no idea of knowing what kind of magical beasts existed within their land as so many magical beast species existed and would never meet in their lifetime.
Still, the ascenders wished they could have their powers soulscour Anna for more information, like how the Cyan Soul Rat tried on a few more ascendants who failed to have backers, but luck would have it that she had a determined backer.
Nonetheless, it still made no difference to them as it was fine that they could just wait for the Emperor of Death to appear.
Although it made no difference to them, it made a ton of difference to the newly ascended Viridian Lightning Fox, allowing her to be not only safe but successfully infiltrate!
Zanna Silverwind panned her gaze and looked at the faces of the ingrates and registered them in her mind. It was not only her but also…
"It's just as he said."
"I can't believe there's so many of them..."
A male and female voice resounded ever so lightly in Zanna's mouth as she kept her mouth ajar. There, Mival Silverwind and Alia Silverwind hid between the crevices of her razor-sharp teeth, covering themselves with Zanna's saliva so as not to be discovered through the sense of smell while their undulations were not detected because they suppressed themselves and Zanna Silverwind's immortal undulations were heavier.
As for feeling slimy, it only made them feel slightly sensual rather than disgusted, as many sessions of their nightly affairs proved useful.
No one would check someone else's mouth on purpose, while Zanna Silverwind was protected by her ancestor. Therefore, they were entirely safe for the moment, waiting for Davis, or that was the plan as they pretended to wait for him.
=======
Davis, Evelynn, Myria, and Founder Alstreim Windstorm arrived at the Emperor-Tier Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid's Inheritance Site in the rifts.
Founder Alstreim Windstorm raised his brows as he looked at the spider-like inheritance palace before he shot a look at Evelynn. It lasted only for a moment before he looked away.
"Where's the pathway?"
Davis pointed down, "Here."
Founder Alstreim Windstorm used his soul sense to scour for a transportation formation in the barren ground, but he couldn't sense anything.
Meanwhile, Davis turned to look at Evelynn before they both nodded their heads.
Evelynn took two steps forwards and raised her hand, her third eye opening as her hands became encased in a purplish light.
*Bzzzz!~*
Space began to tremble, causing everyone except Evelynn to almost tumble to the ground.
"Wh-What's going on?"
"…"
Founder Alstreim Windstorm became apprehensive as he turned to look at Davis, while Myria remained calm but didn't seem to like where this was going. However, Davis was in his own world, reminiscing what happened yesterday.
The Empress Hex Arachnid's soul body floated, slowly fading out of existence. Her face remained gentle while her eyes shone in a hopeful light.
"Originally, I didn't belong here in your so-called Fifty-Two Territories. My inheritance was situated in the First Haven World but was ripped apart along with the land and sent into the void by the people who wished harm to my clan. That was how the rifts in the Poison Rift Valley, as you know, came into existence, my inheritance somehow seeking shelter in these barren rifts."
"I ended up here in these rifts all alone without a trial taker for millions of years, but luck would have it that I found what I wanted and even recently found a connection to the First Haven World, right at the time the Vacuous Beasts had entered. I wonder if it was caused due to some kind of spatial instability? I don't know the source of the cause. Nonetheless, I could've returned to the First Haven World if I had wanted to, but I didn't as I chose Evelynn as my inheritor, wishing to bestow her the immortal inheritance."
"Using the remaining energy of the inheritance, I believed Evelynn will return and so, preserved this pathway to the First Haven World. As long as Evelynn uses this connection, you two should be able to make it to the First Haven World without a problem."
The Empress Hex Arachnid smiled, "I've entrusted my hope to you, Evelynn Davis. So take care of your well-being and cultivation first before you challenge the world in order to allow a path to survival for my clan."
Davis and Evelynn remained stunned as they looked at the empty air. Hexena Xylusc had vanished into thin air.
However, they calmed and gazed at the spatial Evelynn wore, knowing that the last bit of soul energy had also disappeared after Empress Hex Arachnid sealed herself in the inheritance spatial ring's monument.
Davis's expression was complex. He didn't ask for another way into the First Haven World, but Empress Hex Arachnid gave him one as she guessed that his life wouldn't be any better than hers.
Looking at Evelynn's inheritance spatial ring, Davis saw that it had the face of an arachnid, its third eye flashing with a purple light while its four-ringed body wrapped around Evelynn's finger, each ring connected to the body of the ring resembling a pair of spider legs.
He knew Evelynn was invoking the spatial pathway using her connection to the inheritance palace. However, his eyes suddenly caught sight of an uneasy Founder and a skeptical Myria.
"If you two are afraid, stand closer with me."
His lips couldn't help but curve into a teasing smile, causing Founder Alstreim Windstorm to near Davis without hesitation while Myria noticed the spatial instability was becoming more and more profound for her to see through. She reluctantly took a step forward and neared Davis, standing beside him.
They waited for a change to happen when exactly ten seconds later felt the entire world collapsing in front of them before they were pulled into a spatial vortex!
Davis captured Evelynn's hand as they looked at each other before gazing at the endless space tunnel that sucked them into an unknown path. Myria and Founder Alstreim Windstorm followed suit, not knowing where they would end up as they had worried expressions on their brows, wondering if this was suicide.
After all, if another path existed to the Grand Beginnings Continent, wouldn't the people of the First Haven World already use that path? Were they supposed to believe that this was a secret path?
However, looking at the patch of greenery at the other end suddenly, everyone's eyes couldn't help but suddenly light up!
"Here I come, First Haven World..." Davis's face possessed an exhilarated countenance before his lips curved, '… no, world master...'
