Chapter 1913: Zestria Enters

Chapter 1912: Zestria Enters

After Davis's battle, seven more battles occurred as thirty-five characters battled against each other above the battle stage. Some winners came out unscathed, displaying the wide difference in their prowess as some possessed a Vast Sea, and they were all from hegemonic powers.

For example, in the third battle, Lora Ren, a woman belonging to Drake Blackburn, won her match while being unscathed because she possessed a Vast Sea of fifty kilometers while her opponents did not possess Vast Seas but Abundant Seas, one that did not reach its very limit of thirty kilometers.

Although the people understood that she possessed a Vast Sea, they did not know how wide since the Vast Sea spanned from thirty kilometers to a hundred kilometers, unlike the Abundant Sea that spanned from five kilometers to thirty kilometers.

The Abundant Sea and Vast Sea couldn't be spoken in the same length!

Even worse was the Scarce Sea and Expansive Sea, where the former could broaden up to a kilometer while the latter could extend up to five kilometers. They were not even worth mentioning in the same breath.

Most of Alstreim Family and Falling Snow Sect Elders possessed Scarce Sea and rarely an Expansive Sea, and that's why they were still a part of the small-sized Territories, powerless to defend themselves against truly powerful threats and needed the help of the Four Great Righteous Sects to survive.

Even Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow were considered geniuses in their powers, and yet, they only managed to create Supreme Domains, Abundant Seas, and Major Runes. Right now, those geniuses who were looked down on by other geniuses were other than those who possessed Abundant Seas, making it completely laughable for them to take pride in their puny achievements.

But at the same time, looking at their new generation, they were earnestly able to relax and pride themselves in their blood, that the time to leave mediocrity and embrace glory had finally come.

In the ninth battle, the ranking projection finally summoned someone belonging to the Alstreim Family.

"Zestria, it's your turn."

Zestria was bored watching the battles that she was conversing with Tina and Dalila about Alchemy as she also had some knowledge of her Domitian Family's unique pill recipes, but Sophie suddenly called out, causing her to turn to look at the projection that had her name and a bunch of others that she recognized them to be from some Peak-Level Emperor Grade Powers, especially the Emperor Sword Sect's disciple who were famous for their overbearing sword arts that are said to rival their dragon's.

However, Zestria's brows twitched, looking at her name that was suffixed with Domitian. That name was something she had begun to hate for forsaking her, easily casting her away to be a sacrifice. If Davis had immediately taken her, she would've perhaps hated him for the rest of her life, but after seeing what kind of man he was, that resistance was slowly chipped off until what was left of him in her heart was yearning, which she had obtained that night of Shirley's marriage through her own volition.

She was even prepared to be thrown out or ruthlessly killed as it was Shirley's idea and not Davis's, but he embraced her, making her feel fulfilled.

The way the world saw her, she was still a slave, although that kind of view might've slightly changed when people saw him hugging her but not Bylai Zlatan. Nonetheless, she didn't care about someone else's views but detested 'Domitian' still attaching to her name.

'I'll teach them a lesson if I meet them later…'

Like that, she decided to bully her Domitian Family juniors, who would be unfortunate to meet her in battle, for she had the absolute confidence to deal them with defeat.

The way the Dragon Families functioned was different.

It was usually the Young Patriarch who would be the most powerful amidst the younger generation in most powers, but in the case of the Dragon Families, it was different where their Young Mistress would be the most powerful, hence their title of Dragon Queen.

However, that was only until they were plundered of their primal yin essence and made to be a dual cultivation partner for the sole purpose of birthing children and enhancing their husband's cultivation, refining his yang before providing him with enriched yin.

It was unlike Davis, who did the exact opposite of providing them with enriched yang.

However, it wasn't like they would be severely oppressed, but it was also the Dragon Queen's responsibility as their families fed them so many resources from a young age, and the Dragon Queen themselves understood that with immense glory and care came with immense responsibilities to bear and nurture the next talented younger generation. Although her mother wasn't a Dragon Queen, her late fifth-great grandmother was, but that was just a long time ago, around twenty thousand years ago.

But still, that's why the four Dragon Queens were immensely respected and cared for, but the betrayal instantly shattered their hearts.

Zestria flew and arrived at the battle stage, turning to look at the Emperor Sword Sect's disciple, who was the only one worthy of a glance amidst her four opponents. They were also looking at her with narrowed eyes, a hint of schadenfreude swirling in their eyes.

It was just as she expected.

They were looking down on her as though she was still a slave, but a smirk appeared on her face as she raised her hand, intense flame essence energy surging from the palm of her hand as it sent waves of shock into their hearts. Instantly, their gazes changed, becoming one from mocking to one of solemness as they hadn't expected such a difference in their prowess.

Zestria's prowess in Essence Gathering Cultivation was at the Mid-Level Law Rune Stage!

The fact that she was smirking behind her veil meant that she was provoking them to come at her together, or else they wouldn't even be able to touch her in this battle. Such confidence and her current backing that was even more terrifying than the Domitian Family left them shaken, to say the least.

"How arrogant of a mere slave to be showing off…"

A golden-robed man with a sharp demeanor and a mustache simply waved his hand when a magnificent silver sword emerged, swinging in an arc before it landed in his grasp. Intense emissions of sword intent were unleashed, letting his prowess that was at Mid-Level Law Rune Stage become known to everyone else.

"Hsss!~"

The crowd sucked in a cold breath of air, feeling the air freeze even though they had a stronger barrier erected for them.

The Emperor Sword Sect's disciple kept his sword into his spatial ring and awaited the arbitrator's command but suddenly, a deathly gaze shot at him, causing him to instantly retreat a few kilometers back before he looked above at the Alstreim Family's seating area, catching a glimpse of the Emperor of Death before he quickly lowered his head, not daring to match gazes.

"I'm not a slave anymore. Don't you know?"

Zestria giggled before her gaze became frigid. However, inwardly, she was shouting with joy as her opponent's reaction proved that he had been intimidated by Davis. For what reason, if it were not for her?

Nonetheless, her words left the people wondering if what she said was true when they suddenly recalled her being hugged by the Emperor of Death when he hugged his wives, and the reaction the Emperor Sword Sect's disciple showed left them with no choice but to believe it.

From this moment onward, no one should dare to call Zestria a slave, or else they might die.

The Emperor Sword Sect's disciple was returning with sweat drenching his back. He didn't dare to be imposing anymore.

"Hmph! You're all not children, so don't play anymore."

'Bastard! If you're truly an Honorable Elder, go blame the person who disrupted the battle's sequence!'

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse appeared discontent but the Emperor Sword Sect's disciple inwardly cursed.

By this point, everyone knew that the arbitrators or anyone for that matter did not dare to offend the Emperor of Death, so what could he, a little upstart, could do other than rejoicing that he had escaped death?

"Let the battle begin!"

Upon hearing the signal, the participants were momentarily dazed before entering the battle mode, but Zestria was already upon one of them as she abruptly stopped beside her opponent as she punched out, her fires blazing into a mighty fire dragon as it struck a wall of water that was hastily conjured before the flames seared through it, lighting up the panicked opponent in intense flames.

The flames of the Fire Dragon were so overbearing that the poor water law cultivator completely became trapped under a fiery forcefield!

"Ahhhh!!! No!! Take these flames off of me!!! I surrender…! I surrender!!!"

He was trying his best to hold off the fire essence energy from burning him alive as he used the entire reserves of his water essence energy to keep himself afloat and safe for as long as he could possibly achieve.

He wished that he hadn't provoked this vengeful dragon by just looking at her with a mocking gaze and maybe, he would've been spared from being humiliated at the first moment.

Suddenly, an invisible force captured him and sent him out of the battle stage before Zestria waved her hand and cleared the flames off of him.

Clearly, he was eliminated for admitting defeat.

Zestria turned to look at the other three, wondering why they hadn't attacked her yet but then giggled as she understood.

The other three didn't attack her or go help him but quickly neared each other, becoming one team as they appeared ready to face her.

"Even with the four of you, I promise you wouldn't have been able to defeat me, so rest assured."

Zestria grinned as she took to the skies.

In the Alstreim Family's seating area, Davis narrowed his eyes.

"I don't think he's part of the Shard Family of the Emperor Sword Sect…"

"He is not, but he is still part of a family that is said to be a loyal dog of the Shard Family." By the side, Alexi Ethren responded.

"As expected. You're paying more attention to the Emperor Sword Sect, huh."

"Of course, my Ancestor's wish is something I should fulfill after it had given me so much help. If I don't collect intelligence and start making plans, how long would it take me to achieve the vengeance of toppling the entire Emperor Sword Sect?"

Davis nodded, hearing Alexi Ethren's words before he looked towards his Zestria.

"Zestria, cripple that Emperor Sword Sect's disciple."

Davis sent a soul transmission, and no one other than Myria could even remotely sense it. However, Zestria, who heard the soul transmission in her mind, had her eyes widen before her smile deepened.

'As you wish, my emperor~'
