Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3878  Execution Hour

"…!"

The expressions of three death row inmates changed.

He, their sworn brother, was really on his way to save them?

Their hearts churned with emotion. On one side, they felt happy, but on the other, they felt they had failed him. Not only did they not manage to make themselves useful, but they also implicated him in their capture.

Their expressions turned unsightly as they glared at the Realm Master in front of them.

"Realm Master, is this really your answer?"

Patriarch Andiron Blackryst, who was on the far left, clenched his teeth as he growled softly.

Realm Master Lombart Blackstone remained silent.

"Then retribution can't be avoided, neither can we be saved. That's all I have to say before I leave this world."

Patriarch Andiron Blackryst sighed as he lowered his head.

In the end, he couldn't bring himself to harm the clan as the others were safe, and only he was being put to death. He was fine with it, but the Divine Emperor of Death wouldn't be fine letting go of the prophecy, which would result in the destruction of the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Clan.

Perhaps the destruction they were bringing was the Divine Emperor of Death himself. He couldn't be sure anymore.

The light in his eyes faded as he went listless, losing all hope.

"Haha…" Patriarch Soaren Goldsun, who was on the far right, chuckled at this moment, "I'm reluctant to leave my wives and my family, but to die under the false accusation of doing evil with the Divine Emperor of Death, I guess I should be proud of it."

"The righteous world has truly amused me."

He shook his head, looking disappointed, before his face brightened.

"Brother Davis, I only have one wish. Look after my family and make sure they don't fall to self-righteous fools like them!"

He looked at those who were recording from afar, hoping that his last wish would reach Davis's ears. He didn't wait for long and turned to look at Patriarch Fenren Jadelight.

"We had a good run, brother. I enjoyed the time we spent together. I don't regret it."

"…"

Patriarch Fenren Jadelight smirked.

His heart was moved by Patriarch Fenren Jadelight's words, causing him to look at the crowd with a defiant smirk.

"I, Fenren Jadelight, have lived my life to the fullest extent. I have been a hero, a lady's man, and even a general who has won many wars. There's nothing in this world I regret. As for the words I want to say, I wish to let the world know that the Divine Emperor of Death isn't an evil being, but I guess there's no use in repeating a sentence that doesn't seem to resonate with the natural order. I only wish that I had been a Divergent so I could kill you all myself and show what true evil is! Ahhahahaha!"

"…!"

The crowd was shaken.

Instead of repenting, they were doubling down?

"Fuck you!"

"Kill him!"

"Behead him! He's beyond saving!"

They began screaming out with an equal or with much more intensity, their eyes full of murderous intent.

"…!"

But suddenly, Fenren Jadelight's pupils dilated.

He saw a person who stepped out of the crowd from the distance approaching him. Their aura was at the Immortal King Stage, not appearing to be that dangerous.

"You- stop!"

Regardless, the guards aligned at the edges raised their hands. Their powerful Sovereign auras blared, each one of them as powerful as a Level Nine Sovereign whose battle prowess was above three levels. They were geniuses of their era acting as guards.

"Don't come any closer!"

*Clang!~*

Fenren Jadelight tried to stand up, but the chains didn't let him. He growled, "Renfa! Escape!"

The person who was approaching him was none other than Renfa Jadelight, the inheritor who had escaped from the clutches of the realm officials. She was also his wife, although they hadn't married yet.

However, she was carrying his baby!

Renfa Jadelight seemed unresponsive.

With a sword in her hand, she walked halfway before stopping.

The geniuses also didn't attack, seeing that her stomach was swollen. They hesitated as they couldn't obviously kill a pregnant woman in public, or their reputation would be in the gutters. She didn't seem dangerous either, as she was just an Immortal King. However, they blocked her path, pointing their swords and spears at her.

Renfa Jadelight raised her sword and aligned the blade before her neck.

"I do not wish to live a life without you. The moment your head rolls, mine will roll as well."

"Renfa, don't be foolish!"

His defiant face was now full of panic and anger, "Leave right now! You- don't harm her! Let her go!"

He looked towards Realm Master Lombart Blackstone, roaring at him.

However, Realm Master Lombard Blackstone waved his hand with an indifferent expression.

"Capture her and send her to the Starlight Jade Wolf Lower Realm. After she gives birth, she would be imprisoned for half a million years at the very least since she didn't surrender before the time limit given to the inheritors."

"Yes."

The guards obeyed and moved to restrict her. However, they came to a stop again as Renfa Jadelight brought the sword down and pointed at her stomach, causing their pupils to dilate.

She would go that far to desecrate this execution into a distasteful one?

"The moment I came to this city, I knew my fate was sealed. I was spotted earlier. It's only a matter of time before someone arrested me. If you aren't there, then I don't wish for our child to live a life of being insulted as a demon spawn. The only choice left was to die with you and end this suffering."

"!!!"

Fenren Jadelight trembled heavily.

He knew his Renfa was starved for love and finally obtained that with him, so she was crazy about him, always following him wherever he went, so much so she stopped herself from entering the Candidacy just before it began as she revealed she had gotten pregnant.

They shared the sentiment and accepted it, silently retreating and choosing to live.

Although it was dishonorable, he didn't want her to be harmed.

Then, they were suddenly teleported to the true immortal world. They all found themselves in the Starlight Jade Wolf Lower Realm. He had to look after the people, so he was caught, but he was able to successfully send Renfa Jadelight away with the other inheritor, Davion Jadelight.

But now- she came here by herself, even willing to end it all— all because he had chosen to look after the people and, as a result, got caught.

*Clang!~*

However, she was weak.

She was secretly tackled, and the sword in her hand was removed from her grasp. She struggled, but two men appeared by her side and caught her hands, disallowing her from ending herself.

"Let go!"

Renfa Jadelight growled, tears shedding from her eyes.

"Fenren, you bastard! You can't leave me like this! I loved you so much! Our child is just a few months away from being born! You can't die!"

She screamed at him as she struggled, crying out her emotions at him.

Fenren Jadelight, who had been feeling complacent, felt so miserable right now. His eyes turned moist as he knew he had implicated her. However, his face became more and more enraged as he heard the insults from the crowd.

"That's right. The two of you plotted evil with the Divine Emperor of Death. Naturally, the two of your progeny is a demon spawn. There's no place for such a being to live in our righteous world."

"Haha! Bitch, do you really think we care about you and your child's lives? Just behead her along with her husband! They can go to the underworld together."

"Fuck! She's hot. It's a pity…"

Insults and jeers were plenty, even though most of the crowd was silent. Perhaps it was because the crowd was silent that those insults were much louder and hurtful than hearing it normally.

Fenren Jadelight's eyes turned bloodshot. He clenched his teeth and tried to stand up, the chains restricting him, but he strode forward, his bones emitting cracking sounds.

"Heavens! Is this the fate you have reserved for me!?" He growled, his gaze full of vengeance.

"Reserved!? Pfft! It's the consequences of your own actions."

"I hate those who don't take accountability for their actions."

A few people sneered loudly as they stood at the forefront. Their expressions were full of schadenfreude, but at this moment, their expressions changed as they felt a chill encumbering in their souls.

"Is that so? Then I'll have you take accountability for opening your mouths at the wrong time."

"…!"

A purple-robed man walked past them. Only their expressions changed. They couldn't move but found themselves falling over to the ground before they lost consciousness— for eternity.

"!!!"

The moment people became aware of the purple-robed man, they went stiff in their places. They dared not move, watching him walk past them.

The guards visibly flinched. The Realm Master's eyes went wide while the Heaven's Warriors' gazes flickered.

For the first time, they laid their eyes on the Divine Emperor of Death, and their relaxed postures instantly turned nervous despite him releasing the undulations of an Immortal King, someone they wouldn't even place in their eyes.
