Chapter 1916 - Forsaken Yin

""

Davis also couldn't help but blink before he laughed out loud.

"Ahaha. Careful not to get accidentally frozen, Alexi."

"Why do I have to be so this unlucky?"

Alexi Ethren shook his head, his shoulders drooping as he sighed.

"Lady Natalya, please go easy on me."

He clasped his hands towards Natalya before flying towards the battle stage as called.

Natalya pursed her lips, finding this situation amusing.

Back then, if Davis hadn't shown up, perhaps she would've been forced to marry Alexi Ethren or someone else by her grandfather. At that time, she could only look up to the third prince and be thankful for the resources he provided to her grandfather, but now, she was standing above him, both in strength and status, and just how many years was that?

Even a full decade hadn't passed yet.

"What are you thinking about, Natalya?" Davis noticed her strange expression and asked.

"Well I was just thinking about the past me who was so helpless and air-headed."

Natalya giggled before she neared him and kissed on his cheek, looking into his sapphire eyes, "I still dream of the day when you appeared in front of me again, and the night I seduced you."

"What are you going to say? That you are going to take some responsibility for making me a womanizer?"

"Hehe~" Natalya sweetly giggled to Davis's amused question, "No, if it weren't for that day, I wouldn't be here. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be as strong and beautiful as I am. You are everything to me, Davis."

Caught between her body warmth and sweet breath, Davis felt fire kindling underneath his body.

"Natalya, you're seducing me again..."

At this moment, he felt like kidnapping her to the resting room and forcefully resuming from where they left off, disallowing her from battling.

"Hehe~ I'm glad that I'm still able to seduce you."

Natalya tip-toed and left a quick kiss on his lips before escaping, elegantly flying towards the battle stage. She paid no heed to the weird looks being thrown at her for her display of public affection that had gone overboard in their view. Once she arrived at the battle stage, she gave a temporary glance to the four others who had already seemed to have gathered and were waiting for her as they were looking at her together.

'This is not even going to be fun but maybe...'

Natalya looked towards Young Palace Master Faus Lanate, wondering if he would stir something up as she saw him look strange.

"Let the battle begin!"

On receiving the signal from Honorable Elder Julian Kruse, no one surprisingly moved.

One, two, three seconds passed before a woman's sigh echoed.

"If no one is going to move, then I will..."

Natalya floated and slowly flew forward. Her icy-blue robes were fluttering ever so lightly along with her lush black hair, making her appear gorgeous and eye-catching.

"Let me attest the strength of the Emperor of Death's second wife!"

A red-robed man bravely shouted and became entrenched in flames, his figure appearing as though he was a creature from the underworld. He swiftly flew towards Natalya, producing immense essence energy, its prowess reaching the peak of Low-Level Law Rune Stage.

The crowd could see that this genius possessed a thirty-kilometer Abundant Sea and was looking forward to how he would counter the not-so-well-known second wife of the Emperor of Death. Compared to the others, the only information they had on her was through Niera's mouth that said Mu Bing was no match for Natalya, yet, they cannot make of anything until they see it for themselves.

From what they've seen so far, there didn't seem to be anything special about her.

However, just before that red-robed man could get to Natalya, a fiery ocean wave of flames burst through his front as though creating a wall, stopping him from nearing Natalya.

"Your opponent is me."

Alexi Ethren's cool voice echoed as he stood in the air a few kilometers away, looking handsome and carefree as his blue hair swayed in the wind.

"Hmph! I heard that you're a lowly emperor of a Mid-Level Emperor Grade Power who managed to stumble upon the graces of the Emperor of Death. Do you feel yourself to be on the top of the world already?"

"Ridiculous, our battle prowess should be the same. Come, we'll decide with who's stronger with our laws."

The two of them exchanged words and were about to engage in a frontal clash when a freezing cold voice suddenly made them come to a violent halt.

"Is third prince still of the idea that I am his loyal subordinate's granddaughter?"

Alexi Ethren turned to look at Natalya, who had her eyebrows furrowed.

"Haha, please don't call me third prince, Lady Natalya."

"Should I call you Emperor Ethren then?" Natalya's lips curved.

"No, not that either. For someone of your stature, you could very well call me by my name."

"Then Alexi Ethren, do I seem weak to you?"

"Looks like I overstepped my bounds by interfering. Please excuse my rude behavior then."

Natalya watched Alexi Ethren's facial movements before she shook her head.

"No, if we were a team, I would appreciate it, but right now, we're opponents. Please don't rob my opponents from me. Otherwise, there is no fu-"

"Watch out!"

"You're full of openings."

A white-robed person abruptly appeared behind Natalya as his deep voice echoed while Alexi Ethren shouted.

Natalya glanced back with absolute calmness, her gaze coming in contact with a jade-green sword pointed right at her face. She looked past that and saw the white-robed man with cunning eyes peek at her with a measuring gaze.

She turned to look towards the place where she saw him standing before and witnessed that white-robed man fade away into nothingness, understanding that it had been nothing more than an illusion.

Natalya's lips couldn't help but slightly curve. It seemed that she had a fate with encountering illusions.

At the same time, the white-robed man revealed a smirk at Natalya.

Possessing a handsome face, his presence instantly commanded the screams of many beauties because they knew he was Sky Disillusion Sect's top disciple from the Vast Sky Emperor Palace Territory.

Just when he thought Natalya was about to gracefully admit defeat, she blinked two times before her lips moved.

"What are you doing?"

The Sky Disillusion Sect's top disciple couldn't help but scoff.

"Don't pretend. You lost."

Natalya looked genuinely confused.

"How would you know I lost just by getting behind me and pointing a sword at my head. Didn't it cross your mind that I allowed you to do so?"

"You you're playing with fire!"

"Then attack. I want to see what kind of fire that doesn't dare quell to my ice." Natalya's eyes turned sharp.

""

Not only was the Sky Disillusion Sect's top disciple dumbfounded, but even the crowd also looked as though they couldn't believe the audacity of this woman.

Does she think that the Sky Disillusion Sect's top disciple won't dare to do it just because she is the Emperor of Death's second wife? Or was it precisely because that she was convinced that he wouldn't harm her was she daring him to harm her?

"Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

But regardless of people's expectations, the Sky Disillusion Sect's top disciple's expression turned grim as he swung his sword towards Natalya's shoulder, changing its directory from her head to her shoulder as it gleamed with an insanely sharp green edge that threatened to slice her flesh.

However, the moment the sharp green sword edge made contact with Natalya's shoulder, an icy-blue lotus instantly bloomed as it defended against the terrifying sword attack! It didn't make a metal sound but a dull sound that suggested that the piercing sword attack was actually made to bounce as though being rebounded, consequently making the Sky Disillusion Sect's top disciple fly back in retreat with absolute disbelief.

"!?"

He didn't sense any surging techniques from her, so how could she create one in an instant!?

Natalya just stood there, still glancing at him as she had her head turned around. She appeared uninjured. Not even a speck of dust remained on her icy-blue robe under that ruthless attack that appeared to have almost cost her of her whole left arm.

Defending against the terrifying and instantaneous attack of a Law Sea Stage Cultivator surging with the prowess of a Low-Level Law Rune Stage attack was not an easy thing to accomplish, and that too while looking as though they didn't need to put any effort in defending. However, Natalya just did exactly that, instantly bewildering them into the realm of confusion and assumptions.

In the Mystic Ice Sect's seating area, Ellia's eyes were narrowed as she watched this scene.

'Forsaken Yin Lotus? The type of yin nature that is said to act by itself in order to defend the master when it senses danger? To think that the inheritance of the Forsaken Yin Lower Realm is also here But I don't understand why anyone would want that treasure as having it alone is said to be a disaster. Sigh Nonetheless, is this also a vestige of an immortal inheritance? Just how many wanted to enter this world just to commit suicide like this?'

Ellia couldn't help but ruefully shake her head.
