Divine Emperor of Death

'Two Law Seed Stage Experts? From the Guardian Alliance?' Davis thought as he released his Soul Sense.

'To dare strut around their cultivation here, are they deliberately mocking us or alternatively letting us know of their arrival? Truly interesting...'

After all, every powerful people in the Grand Sea Continent knew to stay clear of the Loret Empire and give respect whenever they see the members of the Loret Family.

Davis who had been quite bored these days considered what to do while he wondered that if the arrival of these two people could relieve him of his boredom.

Although he was content, a peaceful life was boring and that was a fact.

Davis's facial expression changed as it turned into one astonishment. He instantly recognized the faces of those two as it seemed familiar.

'Wait, there are three people? A woman...' Davis instantly saw three people heading towards them instead of the two he sensed.

'A mortal?...'

He could quickly gauge the cultivation level of that woman but when he saw the woman's clothes, Davis widened his eyes in shock.

======

In the Empress's Quarters, Empress's room.

Claire sat one bed while she kept pondering on the fire laws. The fire which constantly danced in front of her eyes gave her the comprehension she needed when deeply pondering on it.

Beside her, to the other side of the bed was Logan, currently comprehending the Lightning Laws.

Lightning sparked and even traveled through his meridians which he then personally experienced it with his soul, trying to gather his thoughts on how frightening lightning was in tempering.

This gave him stable comprehension and they were both making gradual progress towards the Law Manifestation Stage; the Sixth Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation.

They had already reached Level Two Intent while training in their respective laws in the past and all that was left were for them to reach Level Three Intent before making a breakthrough to the Law Manifestation Stage.

Of course, they could make the breakthrough without comprehending but then it wouldn't provide them with a complete and immense effect.

There was a great difference when one breakthroughs while only having comprehended Level One Intent and breaking through while having comprehended Level Three Intent.

The latter would obviously provide more benefits and widen the gap that existed between cultivators who were at the same stage and level.

Claire could feel that she was imminent in comprehending the Level Three Intent in Fire Laws. She had already comprehended Level Two Intent when she fought with Logan at that time.

As for Logan, he had just reached Level Two Intent in Lightning Laws a few months ago. He had traversed the Grand Sea Continent and visited the place where Fallen Extinction Lightning had been procured,

The area was raining down will lightning perpetually and comprehending in that area became an impetus for him to comprehend Level Two Intent.

Now, their rate of comprehension was low, however, their talents made up for it. If they were in a suitable environment to comprehend the natural laws, then their rate of improvement would be quite tremendous.

Logan and Claire sat side by side on the ends of the bed as they comprehended, but if one could see some transparent liquids staining the bed in the middle, they could deduce that not long ago, a 'battle' just took place.

Suddenly, both of their eyes opened at the same time as they simultaneously stood up. Both of them looked at each other, and their gazes spoke volumes of their next actions.

Logan left after a moment and Claire took some time before heading out for obvious reasons.

... They were naked.

In the airspace outside the Royal Castle, Logan appeared and saw the three figures approaching him from the distance.

For some reason, he felt the energy waves coming at him from the distance felt a little familiar. Nonetheless, when he actually saw the two figures, his eyes widened in shock!

Logan shouted as he felt chills creep up his spine, "Viktor! Jonas!!!"

The three figures who were in the distance arrived in front of Logan in a few seconds, their faces bright and radiant.

"Fifth Brother!" The two figures who led the front shouted as they smiled.

Logan's face was still frozen with the shocked expression he displayed.

The two brothers, his seventh brother and eighth brother whom he thought to be dead were alive, truly alive. He couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion bubbling within his heart.

The twins' smiling expression slowly faded away as they noticed Logan's strange expression. Even so, they lightly smiled as they came forward to hug him.

Logan reciprocated their hug as he tightly twisted his hands around their shoulders, his heart filled with complex emotions.

They separated and stared at each other, their faces filled with nostalgic expressions that lasted for a decade; figuratively speaking.

Even though the princes of the Loret Empire at that time were amiable, they still held animosity and were competitive towards each other.

In that group of princes, Logan was only close with only two of them, and they were none other than Viktor and Jonas.

Although Logan and the twins were essentially from different mothers, they shared a bond that was closer than real siblings. They played together and even cultivated together, not until they left in their paths separately.

Because they had no interest in the throne of the Loret Empire, Logan headed to the Grand Sea Continent Meet, participating in it while the twin brothers headed towards their own future, adventuring in the Grand Sea Continent.

It was only when Logan returned with Claire from the Grand Sea Continent Meet did the betrayal by the six noble families occur, devastating the bloodline of the Loret Family, leaving only Logan and the twin brothers alive as a result.

Nevertheless, there could still be Loret Family members out there, born from the unscrupulous deeds of the Loret Family members like how Logan once did.

Of course, if those children born out of wedlock came forward to identify themselves as belonging to the Loret Family, he would take them in but not go actively search for them.

He didn't want to add extra burden to his own, so he didn't go forward to look for them.

Logan extended his hands and patted both their shoulders while having a complex expression on his face, "Good, Good!"

"Not only you two are alive but you two also managed to break through to the Law Seed Stage?!"

"Good!!" Logan eagerly repeated his words as if he had been fed an aphrodisiac while his face flushed red.

He could sense that his Seventh Brother Viktor was at Mid-Level Law Seed Stage while his Eighth Brother Jonas was at Low-Level Law Seed Stage.

His emotions were that high from seeing his two lost brothers whom he had presumed to be dead, return stronger than ever.

He presumed them to be dead because, even after a decade, there was no sign of them in the Grand Sea Continent which made him confirm his guess more or less.

He had even confided his worries to Claire about his missing brothers once upon a time.

But who would've thought that these two were truly alive, even managing to reach the Law Seed Stage eventually?

Logan was absolutely moved to tears but he kept his emotions inside as a man, and an elder brother.

Jonas's expression suddenly turned sly, "Fifth Brother, why is that I smell a woman's fragrance on you?"

Logan became startled. He suddenly heartily laughed and as if it was preordained, Claire arrived towards them, dressed extraordinarily in the Empress's Clothes.

"Who is this?" Jonas confusedly asked as he took a step back.

"Did our Royal Father marry a new wife and made her the Empress?" Viktor softly muttered in confusion but the other two were able to hear him.

"Empress your ass! She's my wife!" Logan quickly turned aggressive as he shouted.

Viktor and Jonas were both stunned.

Viktor's face reddened but he pointed at Claire and shouted back in embarrassment, "But look! She is wearing the Empress's robes!"

Logan sighed as he didn't take offense but abruptly understood.

He had come out quickly to meet the incoming 'menace', so he just wore his normal robes and not the extra layer of robes which is the Emperor's robes.

They didn't recognize him as the Emperor, and so they thought of Claire as their Royal Father's wife.

Besides, they still thought that...

Logan sighed again, "Jonas, Viktor... Let's talk inside..."

The twin brothers nodded and followed Logan into the Royal Castle. There were also other figures such as Clara, Evelynn, Hendrickson, and Randal floating in the skies, however, they too followed them back into the Royal Castle.

In the air where they stood and talked, Davis's figure mysteriously appeared as he too followed.

======

Royal Castle, Throne Hall.

Logan walked into the Throne Hall through the huge doors and stood before the Loret Empire's Mighty Throne, which was now actually adorned with a few spirit stones.

Viktor and Jonas were astonished to see those spirit stones adorning the throne, however, they didn't think too much about as there were, even more, pressing matters.

Logan's gaze when he looked at the Throne was complicated to the extreme as he didn't know how to break it to them. The tangled emotions he once felt, that curbed him from breaking through to the Adult Soul Stage at that time were returning back to him.

"Fifth Brother, where's Royal Father?"

"Why isn't anyone here?

Jonas and Viktor respectively spoke as they panned their gazes at the officials and subjects. They couldn't recognize any of them except Hendrickson and Randal.

Even so, the latter two didn't speak as they just kept their mouths shut.

Jonas and Viktor had their eyes narrowed. They could feel the heavy atmosphere that was forming as time ticked by...

Viktor slightly took a step back, protecting Meng Ying who was behind him.

To this woman who silently followed him back to this place without uttering a word after arriving at the Royal Castle, he already felt that he had wronged her.

Because he was innately a sociable person, he had already done research about the mortal's culture and tradition on that celestial body. So he had realized all the more meaning in her silence.

Jonas also felt something was wrong, so he slightly moved his hands, ready to battle as soon as possible in the case of unforeseen circumstances.

When Logan finished remembering and making up his mind, he slowly turned back and saw them being... awfully cautious.

He turned confused, "What are you doing?"

Jonas and Viktor blinked as they thought inwardly, 'It's something we'd like to ask...'

Both of them relaxed and turned embarrassed as they felt the surrounding atmosphere not heavy anymore, instead it was slightly solemn when they looked at Logan's expression.

"The entire Loret Family had been annihilated." Logan calmly uttered but even so, his tone was filled with an explosive momentum that carried into their ears, shaking their soul.

Jonas and Viktor suddenly felt the atmosphere turn cold, no, it was actually not the surroundings turning cold but their hearts. It was like their hearts had been plunged in an abyss of ice.

"You're kidding right, Fifth Brother?" Jonas asked as his face twitched.

Logan calmly shook his head, his gaze not avoiding theirs.

Jonas uttered with a face full of disbelief, "It's a lie..."

Meanwhile, Viktor looked as if he had just encountered something out of his imagination, his face blank.

Viktor slowly moved towards Logan as he stepped on the tiled floor with each of his loose steps.

He grasped the collars of Logan's robe as he asked, "You're not kidding, are you?

Logan again shook his head for the second time.

Viktor chuckled, and then he moved back before chuckling again. His steps taken behind were slowly turning disordered before he actually lost his footsteps, falling on the floor.

But before he could completely fall, a figure ran in his direction and managed to support him.

It was none other than Meng Ying.

Jonas also turned a little dizzy as he held his head. He checked with his Soul Sense, but he didn't actually find anyone he knew and most of the rooms were blocked by formations that he couldn't penetrate but even so, he could understand this hopeless and despairing possibility which he didn't dare to actually believe.

All of them were dead!
