Chapter 2026: Dreadful Day
The moment Davis's gazes locked with the descendants of the Vast Sky Emperor, they all went stiff without a change.
Davis's figure disappeared and reappeared in front of them, causing them all to cry out in fear and retreat. However, one of them walked out with an expression full of courage.
It was none other than Wayn Skycloud. He directly knelt on the ground and banged his face on the grassy ground.This essence is securely nested within the heart of Nøv€lß¡n★
"Emperor of Death. Please spare us. We won't say anything about what had happened today. We swear and are even willing to- "
"Hmm... if you people were truly innocent, you would've sent someone to inform me that you're escaping with that trash, no?"
Davis couldn't help but chuckle before his expression became cold, "However, I seem to recall that I heard no word from you people about this matter?"
"This..."
Wayn Skycloud raised his head, appearing to be at a loss. However, his expression became determined as he opened his mouth.
"We were all- "
"Don't worry. At least, you were not betrayers in this life. Be proud of that fact and start anew in the next. Hopefully, you can all have a father or husband who's not trash like Arcadius Skycloud is."
Davis waved his hand as his death energy surged, invading into the pores of the people. Their expressions fell, and the light in their eyes flickered ever so lightly with sorrow and despair.
Arcadius Skycloud's wives, sons, and daughters all ended up collapsing to the ground without experiencing even a bit of pain. The trembling Wayn Skycloud was no different, limping to the ground as he became lifeless.
But at this moment, Davis's expression twitched as he found something peculiar in their shattered soul seas.
To think that Blood Soul Contracts bound them. However, they possessed weak binding even before he made a move, meaning that Arcadius Skycloud had enslaved the thoughts of his own family. It was no wonder that none of them thought of informing him. It wasn't that they didn't but that they couldn't.
However, who could say that they wouldn't blindly follow their father or husband who would become immortal?
It was like he didn't know their history as he had done a background check on these people since he could kill them in the future. Each of them has their own share of crimes except a select few who hadn't stained their hands.
But at the end of the day, it was better to clear the world of vile vermin no matter how he thought.
However, Davis looked at the skies, staring at the remnant energy of heavenly tribulation swirling around with a vacant look.
'Have I killed too many people today...?'
"Ahahaha!"
Numerous cusses and derisive voices could be heard. Regardless of gender and age, men and women cursed the character of the Emperor of Death, their expressions full of rancor and righteousness.
Some even took joy while looking at his somber face, etching that into their eyes and imagery stones. However, the curses and mocking words from their mouth never stopped. It was as though the entire city took part in festivities to mock and condemn a single man who was on top of the execution platform, ready to be beheaded.
"..."
At this moment, Davis felt a faint sense of relief. He felt like he had entered a state of epiphany while hearing, no, sensing the magnitude of the hatred, dislike, and murderous intent they possessed towards him.
Heaven and earth energy churned around him, glowing in an otherworldly light. One couldn't even imagine the color, but everyone could see that the Emperor of Death had comprehended a law at this moment, causing them to become silent once more.
"This is... Heart Intent?"
Someone in the crowd echoed in a bewildered manner. They turned to look towards the source of the voice and saw that the man possessed an expression full of contemplation. They demanded an explanation. However, they saw the man's expression suddenly change, quickly turning to look at what he had been so afraid of.
And what they saw made them feel a bone-chilling cold that swept through their spine, causing them to shudder heavily as they saw a man hovering in their skies with a devilish smile on his face, his figure shrouded by grayish-black energy.
=========
"What!? The entire Vast Sky Emperor Palace has been completely massacred!?"
The Mandate Emperor abruptly stood up with such force that the table in front of him was sent flying, crashing towards the messenger.
Just now, he heard that millions of cultivators in the Vast Sky Emperor Palace had died at the hands of the Emperor of Death. Moreover, it seemed that there was a dark cloud of death hovering above the city, causing anyone below the Seventh Stage to faint while they looked at it.
The Mandate Emperor looked towards the Karmic Guardian Emperor, feeling a deep chill striking his heart while he felt his brain tremor at the significance of this happening.
"How... How can it be possible?" The Mandate Emperor shook his head, losing his cool as he bellowed, "Check! Check properly! There must be a mistake!"
"No... how? I sensed no change in the trajectory of fate of the Vast Sky Emperor Palace. If there was a massacre, I should've sensed at least an iota of change and be able to prevent it like..."
The Karmic Guardian Emperor suddenly froze as he recalled a few matters that he found bewildering.
Last time, he had divined that there was going to be a massacre in the Zlatan Family. However, it didn't happen, causing him to feel confused but accepted that the heavens allowed the Zlatan Family to survive.
This time, he had sensed a massacre in the Emperor Shard Family and the wicked path when divining after he heard that the Jade Lotus Valley had been ambushed, and the massacre happened without a change. However, there was nothing of concern when he used his karmic arts to probe the situation of the Vast Sky Emperor Palace, but the massacre transpired, right in the heart of Vast Sky Emperor Palace, taking millions of lives.
How could one explain this phenomenon where fate keeps changing to a large degree!? Even if there was a change, there would be a few or an entire group of survivors in a massacre, but allowing many to live? That was unheard of! The same way, when there was nothing of concern, how could an entire hegemon be massacred!?
Thinking of the strange occurrences in this way, the Karmic Guardian Emperor heavily trembled as he plopped back to his seat, his expression full of horror.
Could it be that the Emperor of Death was a Divergent who causes chaos in the workings of fate?
