Divine Emperor of Death

Elder Towerfall spoke in a firm tone, "Since it is decided that we'll have at least one battle consisting of the younger generation in Fifth Stage, Sixth Stage, and Seventh Stage, the Towering Cloud Hall will send a Sixth Stage Core Hall Disciple to the battle platform."

"This way, the battle will not be too boring or too exciting..."

He turned to look towards the Towering Cloud Hall's ark and called out.

"Baize, do your thing..."

With a crass encouragement from Elder Towerfall, a figure suddenly shot out from the bull-like ark while Sixth Stage undulations spread like wildfire, even slightly moving the ark an inch below in the air.

From the name and the staunch figure, everyone guessed that the young expert should be a male. 

He flew incredibly fast before landing right on the battle platform, his flight pathway looking as if a comet burnt it in its trajectory.

Flames emanated radiated from the pores of his skin, making him look like a fiery mortal deity.

'Oh? Someone who cultivates in a fire-attributed Body Tempering Cultivation Manual?' Davis measured the opponent with his knowledge.

'Not only has he trained in a fire-attributed Body Tempering Cultivation Manual, but he has also comprehended relevant laws that are suitable for Body Tempering Cultivation... Did he burn himself to get this far?' He half-heartedly mused.

Baize possessed short reddish-brown hair, big eyes, elongated nose, and big lips. His height reached almost two hundred centimeters, which made him quite taller than the people present around him.

He smiled and turned to look at the Conferred Queen. Just when he was about to clasp his hand, an enraged shout echoed out!

"Idiot! Go verify your age!"

"Yes!"

Baize's whole body shivered before he ran out of the martial platform and flew towards one of the four formations that were kept the eastern side. 

Elder Towerfall shook his head, but his expression was rueful. Just because there was an extremely beautiful woman present, they all wanted to show off and garner her attention.

But he could understand that as his own eyes found itself gazing at the Conferred Queen's beauty. His own heart pounded erratically when he laid his eyes on her.

Once Baize neared the bronze-colored Profound Age Formation, he entered it before exiting in an instant. The next moment, a brown glow erupted from the formation, confirming that the core hall disciple named Baize was a person with a bone age lesser than a hundred years old.

He returned to the battle platform, no longer showing off before clasping his hands towards the Conferred Queen.

With a confident look, he uttered, "I, Baize, a core hall disciple from the Towering Cloud Hall, would like to exchange pointers with one of Conferred Queen's subordinates."

After saying so, he shot a look towards Alchemist Davis with provocation.

Davis ignored the person as he noticed Elder Havle Alstreim, Alexi Ethren, and Arianna Woller arrive at the scene. From how they arrived together, it seemed that they have interacted with each other and created an amicable relationship already.

They smiled at him, causing him to smile back before he patted Evelynn's back, "It's your turn..."

Evelynn rolled her eyes, but that came off as incredibly sexy. She flew towards the bronze-colored Profound Age Formation without hesitation and entered it. She felt herself be probed, and a strange feeling enveloped her bones. When she came out of the formation, she saw that there was a brown glow illuminating the formation.

The fact that she was below a hundred years old was plain to see, and although the two elders frowned, they didn't say anything.

"Sending a woman to fight a man... Especially one's wife... Can't say that I approve off of it..." Baize righteously shook his head before he shot a glance of derision towards Alchemist Davis.

He then looked towards the woman who was flying towards the battle platform before his eyes lit up in big appreciation at those big bosoms. His mouth almost went agape, but he forced a smile while thinking, 'Fuck! Such a seductress is his wife?'

He was burning inside with jealously.

Previously, he didn't notice the two women behind the Conferred Queen because her beauty shadowed theirs, but now that he saw this woman up closer, he couldn't help but appreciate her figure.

Evelynn flew over the battle platform before setting herself a kilometer away from Baize. She cast a look at him and could instantly see that he was ogling at her profile. She was well aware of this gaze as she could always feel it whenever she went outside in the past as the Cauldon Family's Young Mistress. It didn't stop just there as even Davis ogled at her profile when he was just a child, but she knew the reason why after getting married.

The stares just didn't stop there even after she got married. Nevertheless, now that she was in the spotlight, there were countless stares that pricked her like needles.

She could only sigh before she clasped her hand, "I, Evelynn Loret, would like to receive some pointers as well."

Just when everyone smiled at hearing that pleasant voice, it continued.

"Although, I recommend that you surrender before it becomes difficult to extricate yourself..."

Baize: "..."

Everyone became silent for a moment. Davis creased his brows while his lips widened into an amused smile.

Did she just say that?

"Hahaha!" Baize suddenly laughed out loud, and his laughter spread like a plague that made other people in the audience laugh as well. An ocean of applause also rang out, causing Evelynn to blush from embarrassment.

She really wasn't used to this amount of people staring and laughing at her. She gave a warning from good intentions, but it looks like it failed to reach the other party's ears.

She inwardly let out a sigh before calming herself down.

"I will gladly take up on your offer." Baize roared with laughter before he became serious.

Everyone became silent, and Evelynn became startled on hearing his words.

Baize let out a sigh, "I think I've become unable to extricate myself from your visage. So if I win, will you leave your husband, Alchemist Davis, and become mine?"

"!!!"

Evelynn clenched her fists as she became furious, but she instantly let out a sigh, complaining in her mind why everyone would like to target her like this when all she wanted is to battle!

Davis's expression was a bit difficult in a sense he was trying to suppress his laughter. The moment he heard her words, he knew that she fell prey to her own words that were borne out of good intentions.

'Poor Evelynn...' He couldn't help but sigh.

However, the moment he heard Baize's words, he couldn't help but feel a profound sense of pity for the other party. His Evelynn was not the same Evelynn who refused to poison people.

"Can I take your silence as a yes?" Baize cheerfully smiled.

Evelynn's hands were just about to clinch again in anger before it loosened. She straightened her posture and languidly smiled, "Well, why not?"

Baize became taken aback. He was just provoking and teasing her, and he didn't really think that he would get an okay.

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it! I didn't think you would readily accept!" 

"Because it won't be long before you completely regret what you said." Evelynn coldly spoke as her lips widened into a hidden yet poisonous smile.

'So it's like that...'

Baize understood. He continued to laugh as he shot a side glance towards Alchemist Davis, wanting to see his ugly expression, but what he saw was a calm and indifferent demeanor; it made him confused.
