Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 409 Dark Speck Of Ligh



The content of the Blood Soul Contract was for the three of them to keep silent about the existence of the injured Soul Emperor and not tell another soul about it, even going to the lengths of banning Eighth Stage Experts from entering the Tripartite Alliance Territory.

As for the Soul Emperor, he promised them riches equaling that of a lone Emperor Grade Territory and a way to break into the King Soul Stage!

Clouded by greed, selfishness, and an urge to improve themselves to an even higher level, they were tempted and softened to sign the Blood Soul Contract.

Besides, they didn't know who this Soul Emperor was neither did they know about the other Soul Emperors in detail. They didn't even know about the events happening in the Middle and Large Territories, much less the Soul Emperors who were elusive and secretive to the extreme.

Soul Emperors were highly sought out by normal cultivators because of the numerous techniques the former knew. They were not only revered but also feared!

The three of them could not offend an unknown Soul Emperor for no reason, so they were even more tempted to sign the Blood Soul Contract.

After a day of contemplation, they gave in to their greed and signed the Blood Soul Contract.

But now...

Tirea Snow gritted her small teeth as she moved back a little, keeping a certain distance from the other two as her eyes flashed with a cautious light.

Since the power gap had been widened, between them and the Soul Emperor, it was unknown if the other two would suddenly backstab her and offer her up to the Soul Emperor.

It didn't take much but her actions certainly did create a crevice in their shallow unity, created by the situation they faced at hand.

She hurriedly sent them a Soul Transmission, "You two, now that the Soul Emperor is at High-Level Emperor Soul Stage, the Blood Soul Contract is rendered useless!"

Dina Alstreim and Xanbas similarly sent a reply.

"We have no choice but to battle again to injure him as we did so a thousand years ago!"

"Although the chances of us winning are extremely low, it wouldn't be easy for him to take us three down any time soon, especially when he is still injured!

The Blood Soul Contract they signed was at High-Level Emperor Grade which could affect Ninth Stage Experts but only to the level of Low and Mid. Although it had a chance of affecting High-Level Ninth Stage Expert, it was only a probability, not an assurance.

As for High-Level and Peak-Level, only a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Blood Soul Contract could affect, and that too for the latter, it only had a chance depending upon its effectiveness.

Tirea Snow frowned and her brows were narrowed. Her beautiful yet distressed appearance caused the Soul Emperor to let out a laugh.

"Beauty Snow, it's fine to talk through Soul Transmission in front of others but in front, a higher stage Soul Cultivator, especially an Emperor Soul Cultivator, don't you realize that it's meaningless?"

"Blood Soul Contract rendered useless? Battle again to injure him? If we work together, he can't beat us? Hahaha," The Soul Emperor mockingly laughed as he pointed at the three of them.

The three of them were solemn and didn't lose themselves in rage due to his provocation. Instead, their hearts were filled with a sense of trepidation and desperation.

Even though Xanbas said it like that, he perfectly understood the gap dividing the levels of the Ninth Stage were enormous, even many times wider than the gap separating the First Stage to the Peak of the Eighth Stage.

Normally, a Low-Level Ninth Stage Cultivator would find it extremely difficult and even impossible to face a Mid-Level Ninth Stage Cultivator.

Thousand years ago, the only reason they were able to fight the Soul Emperor to a deadlock was due to the fact that he was injured and they combined their powers, otherwise, it was unknown if their three territories would've been unanimously occupied by this rogue Soul Emperor.

"You're taking this too far. As an esteemed Soul Emperor, you're not following your words of promise."

"Even if the Blood Soul Contract is not in effect, as a Soul Emperor, your esteemed self should still follow your own words, otherwise, your reputation would fall to the gutter."

"Even if we're bound to fight and die, or escape, you certainly wouldn't since we have our own ways to inform the entire 52 Territories about your existence in an instant!"

Dina Alstreim, Xanbas, and Tirea Snow spoke respectively as they placed their cards on the table.

To their words, the Soul Emperor laughed again.

"Hahaha, the Blood Soul Contract is indeed rendered useless, but that is only to my case. As for you three, do you think that you will be able to handle the backlash from disobeying the conditions I imposed on you three in the Blood Soul Contract?"

This point, they knew but ignored it because it would become a disadvantage to them if they specifically mentioned this.

They instinctively knew that they would meet their deaths, or even a worse future if they didn't play their cards right.

Both the groups stood their ground, floating in the skies as they stared at each other. Undulations spread, threatening to destroy the surrounding mountains.

The Soul Emperor also frowned inwardly, thinking if they would really sacrifice their lives to inform the world about his existence.

'That would be a problem...' He silently mused but then smiled as his gaze fell on Tirea Snow, "Beauty Snow if you were to become my woman, I promise to not to harm the three of you or your territories."

"Over my dead body!" Tirea Snow coldly spoke, enunciating each of her words as she looked at his languid yet lusty eyes. His countenance was splendid even though he was pale but she refused to be in a relationship with this Soul Emperor who seemed to lust after her.

"Then I have no choice but to..." Just when the Soul Emperor thought of declaring that he would make her his slave, he went quiet.

Lifting up his head, he saw a vague dark light shine upon the land from the skies. The illusory dark light only lasted for an instant before it disappeared.

The dark light was nothing but a speck when seen from their height, but he could somehow feel that it was slowly expanding and growing as if it was a living thing.

A sense of uneasiness enveloped him, especially his heart as he narrowed his eyes.

The other three also noticed the unusualness of a certain point in the sky and their faces also scrunched up in confusion, even an uneasy type of distress filled their souls.

"What is that?" Tirea Snow involuntarily spoke as her heart trembled. She had never seen anything like this nor did the others, seeing that they have no choice of words to reply.

The Soul Emperor turned to look at them with his face no longer jovial but solemn.

He threw a spatial ring to them, "Here, there should be a few methods to help you three break into the King Soul Stage. As for the riches I promised, I would grant them after my injuries have been completely healed."

He snorted in derision, "Consider yourselves lucky!"

The three ancestors of the three major powers were stunned into silence, their minds reeling in confusion.

He turned around and disappeared into the mountains, leaving the three of them muddled. Even as some moments passed, none of them spoke.

It wasn't that they were completely stunned by the Soul Emperor's actions, it was because they didn't what to feel of this spatial ring anymore.

Should they be ecstatic to have gained a way to break through to the King Soul Stage or be worried about the dark speck of light on the ceiling of the sky, threatening to cast them with the unknown?

Watching the reaction of the Soul Emperor, it could be seen that this black speck of light in the sky was no ordinary matter.

The three of them looked at each other before heading to their respective territories to handle the inevitable chaos that would ensue.
