Chapter 2025: Ascendance Escape

Chapter 2024: Ascendance Escape

Davis reached the city of the Vast Sky Emperor Palace.

There were tons of floating palaces and many other buildings with magnificent architecture that would cause one to dream of it of owning one day. Here, everything screamed luxury and extravagance that he wouldn't see in an average Emperor Grade Power, even in an average Hegemonic Power.

He panned his gaze, noticing the terrified looks of the disciples and elders here before he reached out his hand and slashed. A wave of death energy cleaved a vertical opening in the air in front of him as though it was cutting tofu, causing ripples to form.

Looking at this scene, the people felt a terrifying chill in their hearts.

Is this the power that leveled the Emperor Sword Sect? Even this invisible spatial defensive barrier whose prowess could even stop enemies who were two levels above Peak-Level Ninth Stage was rendered useless in front of this foe, causing them to feel distressed and hopeless.

"I am here for Vast Trash Emperor's life. Anyone who tries to stop me will die a dog's death, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

Davis's soul sense churned and covered the entire city. The first thing he used was his Death God Sense to locate the Vast Sky Emperor's descendants, the ones with the name of Skycloud, and marked them with a bit of his death energy that could not be erased or detected because of its seamless nature.

It didn't matter if the Vast Sky Emperor hid a bastard son or tried to get his descendants out by disguising them by disfiguring them. He knew them all like they were his own relatives with his soul prowess.

'Hhm… the main descendants aren't here. I guess he's truly attempting to ascend and escape with them all…'

Davis thought before his soul sense located the spatial vortex of the mini-realm.

The concealment formation placed over there was unable to deter his soul sense that was two levels higher than Peak-Level Ninth Stage. If he wanted, he could even increase his soul sense's prowess by burning his soul essence, but clearly, concealment formations were too hard to come by that they were rare at the Ninth Stage, much less at this level.

Without encountering any kind of interference, he directly stepped inside a luxurious palace that was closed. He banged open the door with his herculean strength and expected some formation to hinder him at this moment, but it was relatively quiet, like the calm before the storm. However, nothing attacked him as he finally arrived before a spatial vortex.

But Davis didn't immediately enter.

He stared at this spatial vortex, wondering what was so different about his Grand Sea Continent containing a spatial gate on top of a spatial vortex at the secret entrance while these mini-realms only possessed spatial vortexes. Could it be that those spatial gates are removed or automatically disappears once every immortal inheritance in the mini-realm has been obtained?

He was speculating what could be so different. As for the Grand Sea Continent connected to Earth, it was later revealed to him that Tian Cangjie did it in a fit of desperation to escape.

As he was thinking, trying to make sense of the significance of the placement of spatial gates, his eyes flickered as he stepped into the spatial vortex.

*Rumble!~*

Davis looked at the tribulation clouds gathering above him. The sanctimonious aura of the heavens was widespread, filling many the atmosphere with dread and reverence. He panned his face and saw the main descendants of the Vast Sky Emperor in the distance before looking at the Vast Sky Emperor, Arcadius Skycloud, who went stiff upon seeing him.

However…

"Ahaha! You bastard! It's too late to stop me now! If you destroy the defensive formation and try to attack me, I will directly take the tribulation to you! Let's see how you kill me with your mysterious killing arts at that time! I'm sure a genius like you should be easily able to withstand the heavenly tribulation's might, no!?"

Arcadius Skycloud wildly laughed, his golden robes fluttering under the storm of the heavenly tribulation. He looked like a maddened spirit, imposing yet full of craziness.

Clearly, this was a special spatial defensive formation made specifically for protecting the one inside against onslaught from others while the tribulation undergoer withstands the heavenly might.

'I must say… these large-sized Territory Hegemons have many things up their sleeves…'

If they wanted to escape while ascending, who could stop them?

Although it was known to the hegemons and other apex powerhouses that the heavens knew the intentions of the people interfering in the heavenly tribulation and that attackers would be safe from heaven's locking onto them, most people wouldn't dare risk that in fear of accidentally inviting disaster.

Davis understood this point and sneered, "So it was you who came up with the plan to ambush the Jade Lotus Valley and send them to the rifts of the Poison Rift Valley? Let me guess. Was it to delay me? Unfortunately, you didn't expect Ivy Aries to be that strong like you didn't expect me to take down the Emperor Sword Sect, huh?"

Initially, he thought that the Nereus Shard was working together with the Poison Valley Rift's remnants, but after finding the truth from a higher-up, he knew ambushing the Jade Lotus Valley's entourage was Arcadius Skycloud's handiwork from the shadows.

Nereus Shard probably thought that he hired the Poison Rift Valley's remnants, but little did he know that they were low-key controlled or manipulated by Arcadius Skycloud. Davis didn't know what kind of plots Arcadius Skycloud set in motion, but because he destroyed the Emperor Sword Sect, all those plans were set to end up in failure as Arcadius Skycloud was in a hurry to escape.

Arcadius Skycloud became stunned, but a moment later, a grin appeared on his rugged lips as he threw his head above again.

"Ahahaha! So what if you know!? It was you who pushed me to these dire straits! It was you who forced me to stain my hands to deal with the wicked path! When I become an immortal shortly, I'll make sure you die a death worse than a dog! If you don't want to die, then scram!"

He bellowed atop of his lungs as he looked at the swirling skies. Arcs of blue lightning swam in the tribulation clouds above, its rumble heralding the heavenly tribulation's arrival. His eyes shone in a reverent yet hopeful gaze before he smiled, lowering his head as he stared at the amused face of the Emperor of Death.

His heart skipped a beat, but he didn't let it show on his face, looking equally amused as Davis as though he was currently plotting an amusing way to kill him.

Davis took a step forward at this moment and arrived at a distance of thirty kilometers away from Arcadius Skycloud, who was surrounded by a spatial barrier that was a kilometer and a half wide in radius.

'As I thought. The three-kilometer radius is the eye of the heavenly tribulation. As long as others don't step into it with the intention to protect the tribulation undergoer, they generally shouldn't be affected. No, I'm wrong. Anyone who enters the three-kilometer range and has the intention to harm or protect will be seen as an enemy by the heavens, but outside those three kilometers, people can harm the tribulation taker without being targeted by the heavens.'

'From three kilometers to twenty-seven kilometers is the zone of heaven's jurisdiction. The twenty-seven-kilometer radius of the heavenly tribulation is also called the ascendance zone, where immortals are locked in after they pass the heavenly tribulation. Outside the twenty-seven-kilometer zone is where I can use Fallen Heaven.'

Davis thought all of this in an instant and rushed closer to the edge of the twenty-seven-kilometer ascendance zone, possessing a faint smile on his face.

"You dare!?"

Arcadius Skycloud's expression became unsightly. His threats didn't work? How can a person remain unmoved under the fright of the heavenly tribulation?

Once Davis reached the edge of the ascendance zone, he stopped.

The spatial defensive formation possessed a hole in the center of the three-kilometer. Davis knew that it was likely where the tribulation lightning was allowed to pass through. Since the formation was designed this way, it meant that it had had the capability to deceive the heavens. Accurately, it was not deceiving since it just doesn't interfere with the tribulation itself but provides protection from other possible assailants like him.

Using a normal defensive formation would instead provoke the heavens.

Thinking like this, Davis no longer hesitated as a grayish-black thin sword appeared in his hand. He took a step forward and slashed, causing the world to dim ever so lightly under the presence of the heavenly tribulation before it struck the spatial formation that could defend against attacks three levels above Peak-Level Ninth Stage, tearing a hole open as it extinguished a part of the spatial barrier.

Arcadius Skycloud's scalp turned numb on witnessing this scene. What kind of monster was this man. The sheer chill of the death energy slightly overwhelmed his reverence for the formation of heavenly tribulation, causing a bit of fear to envelop him. His unsightly expression contorted more before he screamed.

"Fool! If I'm going to die, then I will drag you down with me!"
