Chapter 1920 - The Next Participant

*Paah!~*

Faus Lanate woke up shortly, but he was given a ruthless slap by the Starnova Emperor before he was taken away like a cat that had its scruff grasped.

He was extremely lethargic and directly fainted on receiving that ruthless slap.

Farah Lanate's expression shook, but she didn't say anything.

The Starnova Emperor directly took Faus Lanate back to the Astral Light Sect's seating area without encountering anyone's interference and entered the resting room, bringing him to rest while Farah Lanate followed. She saw her man heal Faus Lanate for a while with his light energy that shone with a golden hue, truly appearing holy and divine.

Her limpid eyes remained mesmerized before a voice fell on her ears.

"Farah, this will be the last time I'm helping you rescue your retarded nephew."

The Starnova Emperor's voice startled Farah Lanate before she nodded.

"I understand. It's just-"

"I know. I know. You're taking care of your nephew after your sister died, but any more than this, and you'll likely have to become a widow for the Emperor of Death will kill me."

Farah Lanate became taken aback before she couldn't help but ask.

"Is he truly all-powerful and unstoppable that even dear is unable to utter words of opposition?"

The Starnova Emperor's expression suddenly became cold.

"Are you measuring me?"

"Farah doesn't dare~" She hurriedly shook her head, "I only hate the fact that I wasn't strict enough to warn and discipline poor nephew."

The Starnova Emperor's expression eased a few notches.

"Everyone thought the Emperor of Death died but didn't he come back to life? Even if we threw all the forces of our four sects and managed to defeat him, even kill him, is there any assurance that he wouldn't revive back to life? Besides, we know too little about people who practice Death Laws and their mysterious technique that borders on the level of superstition. However, one thing is for sure: the Emperor of Death isn't insane, unlike his predecessors. If you reason out with him, it is proven that he would hear and talk things out. However, targeting his women... that's just purely courting death. Your nephew wouldn't have survived if the Emperor of Death's second wife hadn't almost killed him and let him have a way to survive by saying that I could help him."

The Starnova Emperor uttered with a complicated expression as he shook his head.

"It just isn't worth it to battle with him. With his current prowess, I fear that the imaginary situation of us going to battle with him would only end in our defeat."

Farah Lanate looked shocked yet helpless once he laid down the information he possessed. There was no way for her nephew to regain his confidence unless he moved on from this cruel setback, which is almost impossible for a man.

She understood that they could only suppress it.

"Are you regretting being with me now? A man who doesn't compare to the Emperor of Death?"

Farah Lanate's heart shook as she suddenly heard the Starnova Emperor's cold voice, causing her to become stiff as she realized that her question hurt his dignity and pride.

"No, I would never betray you, my emperor." She declared.

"Then I need to imprint in your very soul that you belong to me, no?"

"!"

Farah Lanate's expression froze. Her face instantly took on a crimson hue, making her extremely delectable as the Starnova Emperor removed her veil, feasting on her incredible looks with his eyes.

"Levi, don't my nephew is right beside us..."

Levi Starchild didn't say anything but forcefully turned her around as he groped her bountiful bosoms. He ripped her skirt and forced himself on her, entering her from the back.

Hearing her startled yet melodious moan... consumed his very soul, but there was a layer of confusion in his eyes.

How did the Emperor of Death come to know of his affair before marriage with Farah Lanate? It ruined his calm and almost truly unleashed the beast within him, making him think she might've told him in secret, which could only mean that they had some sort of relationship. However, he knew his Farah wasn't like that. He loved her. She had given him her love and virginity and was even carrying his child already.

It would be irresponsible and foolish of her to betray him.

Suppressing the jealous nature in him, he bit her earlobes and began to shake his hips, eliciting sweet moans from her. However, those moans were suppressed, afraid that her nephew might hear her shame.

"That's right. You better wish that your useless nephew doesn't wake up, or else, I'll truly kill him with my own hands for witnessing this scene."

"Mhm~"

Farah Lanate descended into the pleasure he provided her. It could be seen that she was completely submissive, which told the Starnova Emperor that she wasn't the one who leaked things and instead, it was probably the Emperor of Death who had been keeping an eye on him somehow, or inferred things from learning of his contact with Farah Lanate and bluffed, which he fell for.

'Truly a terrifying individual. To be cautious to this degree while being powerful, and acting as though he is unaware of most things, such individuals' fate couldn't be suppressed by anybody!'

The Starnova Emperor increased the speed of his thrusts, not able to think if he was mad at Davis for being superior to him or mad at himself for being weaker. After all, he was also once a genius who had conjured a Vast Sea of hundred kilometers and earned the adoration of everyone, but at this moment, a tremble could be seen on Faus Lanate's body, making him realize that he was going to wake up.

However, a burst of light shot from Farah Lanate's trembling finger, striking Faus Lanate's soul, which made the latter shiver before his consciousness collapsed into the realm of darkness again.

The poor chap hadn't even woken up before his soul became severely damaged, requiring further healing from the Starnova Emperor to recover in the future, but the Starnova Emperor was completely satisfied with Farah's response and began to pound her silly.

Faus Lanate remained completely unaware of the situation he had brought himself in. First, he lowered himself to find fault with Dalila Leehan, incurring the Emperor of Death's wrath, which totally ruined his reputation, and second, he attacked Natalya with a vengeance, bringing down his character to a new low before bringing his soul to near-destruction from Natalya's retaliation, and when he was brought here for treatment, even his precious aunt that he adored and respected as though she was his mother had to strike him down to keep him alive while she was getting banged in ecstasy.

If he learned of this humiliation, his soul would probably shatter, and even though it was such a cruel fate, he had only himself to blame.

=========

Back outside, Alexi Ethren returned after finally heating himself up with his flames, removing the ice clogging his pores and meridians. He still couldn't believe how powerful Natalya had become, but he also understood that this was a warning for him not to think of her as though she could've once belonged to him.

'Little girl, I didn't even know you at that time and only wanted to reward your grandfather for his loyalty. Why are you so ruthless?'

He could only inwardly lampoon at Natalya's actions, but at least, he saw that his ending had been better than the other opponents, especially Faus Lanate, whom even he couldn't help but pity.

"Alexi, I-"

"Sigh, don't talk about it. I must swallow this defeat with graciousness like a man. Otherwise, even Old Man Garvin would look down on me."

Davis was about to offer words of consolation, but Alexi Ethren shook his head.

"But still, how bad could my luck be? I didn't encounter a single Emperor Sword Sect's disciple and ended up losing the competition without even having anything to show. How are we going to proceed with your plan now?"

Davis thought for a moment before he sent a soul transmission back.

"Well, Zestria's actions still didn't provoke them, so we'll just have to try it again when one of us has a chance to encounter them. After they take the bait, we'll just say we're tasked to eradicate them. Using little to no schemes is the best way to annihilate the people responsible for Old Man Garvin's tragedy."

"Are you not afraid that the entire Righteous Path would turn on you? You do realize that the Shard Family had subjugated, no, integrated the main faction of the Emperor Sword Sect into their faction and became the top faction of the sect in the last few thousand years after Old Man Garvin escaped, right?"

"The righteous path wouldn't go to such lengths to kill me. You and I actually have a reason and can prove that I hold a grudge against the Emperor Sword Sect with the All-Seeing Tower's help but do I need to go to such lengths?"

"Damn With absolute power, you don't even need a reason to do something, much less provide evidence..."

"Did that realization hit you late?" Davis smirked, "The righteous path is rather happy and satisfied that I'm acting reasonable, you know. They might just take my word for it..."

"Tell me about it..."

Alexi Ethren grinned ear to ear as though following in Davis's footsteps was his goal right now.

The two exchanged their devious plots against the Emperor Sword Sect's Shard Family, which could be described in a single word: Smash!

It was just they needed to begin at baby steps and then step onto the field of the massacre. Instantly killing the Emperor Sword Sect like they were ants would instead put fear into everyone's heart, which was undesirable to Davis as it would only give him more headache and destroy the tiniest bit of trust the righteous path had come to possess in him.

In fact, his true intent was to help Tanya gain these precious sword arts and resources of the Emperor Sword Sect. If he had reason on his side, he would be able to rob them of their resources without being branded an evildoer. Once Tanya is able to grab their insights and integrate them into her own sword arts, her Sword Domain will likely be able to experience massive growth.

Otherwise, he might've pushed the revenge a little bit back since he wanted to take his time frolicking with his beauties. His harem had grown big before he knew it, making him completely realize that he was being a scoundrel by not giving them ample time to strengthen their relationship.

Women were time-consuming, but when they also gave him the entirety of their time and love, wanting to please him whenever they were by his side, what complaints did he have to not reciprocate?

None!

Davis went back to his lovely beauties and spent time with them. He didn't look like an Emperor at all, going around flirting with each one of them under the eyes of the public like a rotten emperor who reveled himself in debauchery.

However, the ones who were viewing this all thought he was acting like the sheep to be the wolf one day. They didn't drop their guard for a single moment!

As the next few battles were conducted subsequently, time passed. Some of the Alstreim Family's participants who were chosen to fill the quota were called, but as expected, they couldn't hold a candle to the young geniuses hailing from the hegemonic powers.

Nonetheless, a battle finally came where the ranking projection called another participant of the Alstreim Family.

Davis and the others turned to look at the blackish-crimson haired beauty with a mask on her face. She stood up from a lonely corner and flew into the battle stage as though she couldn't wait to battle.

"Schleya~" sighed Mingzhi as she didn't know what kind of trouble she was going to bring Davis as she personally knew of the former's ruthlessness in her days of survival in the Blood Pledge Villa Territory.

However, despite what she felt, an exhilarating light still lurked in her eyes!
