Chapter 4076 Tighter Encirclement

Chapter 4076 Tighter Encirclement

"Ahh! No, I swear I didn't do anything! I blacked out while I was shop-"

"Enough!"

In an execution platform, a white-robed woman with dissolved hair was pinned against a contraption. She was tightly bound, and only her head was visible on the side to the public, but there were no common people on this execution ground.

Beside her, there was a man who was masked. He held a blade in his hand, appearing ready to behead the sinner.

Only a few individuals were present. There were even Heaven's Warriors, but they maintained their distance.

"Empress, please... please believe me..." The female prisoner begged, tears spilling out of her eyes.

The Empress shook her head.

"We have checked your memories, and you did indeed mix something in the food, and you are the only one who cooked for them. I can't believe you were truly- ugh. This matter can't even be investigated further, or it would infringe on the Emperor's dignity. After all, the more we investigate, the more outsiders will become aware. I can't save you."

"Empress! I am loyal-!"

"Executioner, behead her!" The Empress lowered her head and waved her hand, her voice wavering.

"Nooo-!"

The female prisoner screamed.

*Puchi!~*

The blade sank, barely making a sound as it cut down her neck like it was tofu. Her head fell, and her soul was struck by the blade's powerful energy. The severed head rolled a bit before coming to a stop, her expression terrified and also full of hatred.

She knew she was schemed against, but she didn't know who exactly made her fall and died with regret.

Everyone present looked at the blood spurting from the neck in copious amounts and sighed lightly.

A Level Nine Sovereign died just like that. Moreover, it was the third wife of the Emperor, the Goldlust Rat Realm Master, someone who couldn't be easily neared.

The Heaven's Warriors had a bewildered expression.

"That's their life-saving treasures. We can't take it, and they won't give it. They're all geniuses who are hired and not some righteous warriors who would give up their lives for a just cause. What about the other supreme geniuses who specialize in combat? Wasn't a reward announced in the Upper Realms for those who managed to hunt the Divine Emperor of Death and the other Divergents?"

"They're still gathering. It is said many supreme geniuses are interested, but there are a lot of factors that are delaying them, the main one being the war and the most annoying being unable to find a spatial node to the Lower Realms for the time being. The supreme geniuses all value their time, so if they cannot get here quickly, they would turn to look at other opportunities."

"The Divine Emperor of Death cannot kill anyone below the Autarch Stage. Make sure to let the supreme geniuses know that they won't have another opportunity as good as this to go toe to toe with a calamity of that level and eliminate his divergent allies. Even the older generation of supreme geniuses isn't a match for him. That should rile them up more than anything."

"Yes." The junior responded enthusiastically. He knew Senior Thoben was young and also came from the Upper Realms, knowing more about the supreme geniuses there.

He exhaled and continued to report, "Also, we have finally identified the woman who went through that Annihilative Heavenly Tribulation in the Ghostly Crow Lower Realm, but we're doubtful. She is known as Fiend Myria, the former Divine Saintess of Life in the Upper Realms."

"Yes, that's right. Fiend Myria..." Senior Thoben's eyes narrowed.

He wasn't alive at that time, but he sure knew about her from the records he had studied about dangerous Divergents. She was one of the top-ranking ones.

However, he shook his head, "Wasn't it said that she had died? If even most Heaven's Warriors forgot about her, then it mostly means she had died. How come she is still alive and undergoing her Immortal Emperor Tribulation again? Is it due to her life-and-death physique?"

He grumbled, heaving a heavy sigh, wondering what was going on between her and the Divine Emperor of Death.

For two Eternal Life Soul Physiques to have appeared, it was not possible. An undying soul went against the laws of the universe, so it was an anarchic physique. He understood this much, so for two of them to appear, it broke the understanding they had of the Eternal Life Soul.

At least, to their knowledge, they had only seen it one time, and Fiend Myria was the sole inheritor of that physique from time immemorial. It seemed like they didn't know the true face of the Eternal Life Soul.

"Perhaps it isn't Fiend Myria. I have a feeling that's Divine Saintess Lunaria from that world. Wasn't it rumored that she was also a Divergent and left the Aurora Cloud Gate?"

"But it is said that she's already a peak Immortal Emperor. If she undergoes her tribulation, it would be an Empyrean Heavenly Tribulation..."

"Right..."

Senior Thoben raised his hand and rubbed his head. He felt his headache badly.

In the Upper Realms or the Lower Realms, when had Divergent Hunting become so difficult?

He blamed it all on the Heavenly Blight Hall for starting this mess.

For all he knew, they were the first ones to team up as Divergents, and perhaps, the other Divergents started following their example.

"In any case, tighten the encirclement and search in the Goldlust Rat Minor Realm and the Ghostly Crow Lower Realm more thoroughly. If they intended to throw our search parties into disarray, they are most likely still around these places."

"Yes!"
