Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4488: Devilish Vereina

The three ephemeral yet ghastly heads of Vereina grew more solid and creepier. Their necks were lording over Vereina, swaying like snakes.

Each head was six meters in height and carried six spiked horns, perhaps indicating that she had absorbed a Six-Headed Hydra in order to strengthen her Violent Punitive Soul Physique. The three pair of serpent eyes glared at Lilliana Rayton with a crimson-gold glint, full of desire.

As Vereina tried to devour Lilliana Rayton’s soul, she looked more demonic and ferocious, her aura growing more terrifying and sinister. Her manifestation was no different than that of a wrathful, evil goddess.

The runic tattoo on her tongue also glowed with a purple light, pulsing with more devouring prowess.

“Ahhhhhhh!!!”

Lilliana Rayton could only scream like a wraith as her soul was pulled from her body while still being nailed to her body by the seal. She experienced the most excruciating pain she could ever experience in her life, far more than twenty-six armaments having been shoved in her and being kept for over thirty billion years. It was as though her body was being torn apart into two by two big hands, but her body refused to split open, the pain in the middle rocking her senses into the maximum zone of pain, except it was for the soul, which made it even more painful the likes of which no human had experienced.

At the height of the tear, she momentarily lost her rancor and wanted to beg but couldn’t even form thoughts from the pain.

Vereina kept tugging with the utmost pressure.

With Illumina’s help, she was able to pull about ninety percent of Lilliana Rayton’s soul essence from her body, but the rest was so slow. She used more energy and even sacrificed her soul essence, bringing more soul essence out for a total of ninety-five percent in the next five minutes.

If she even let a minute amount of soul essence remain, then Lilliana Rayton would still be alive due to the nature of her undying soul connected to other Divine Exalts and who knows who. As long as they don’t die, Lilliana Rayton will also not die.

Therefore, Vereina knew that she needed to fully absorb Lilliana Rayton’s soul essence no matter what.

The Heaven’s Warriors below could do nothing but watch.

By this time, they were captured and made to kneel along with Clara.

Primarch Yulan Nazarin also woke up.

“Heavenly Fairy, please forgive me for my uselessness.” He choked with guilt.

He didn’t think he would face a big threat here, considering he only came to protect Clara’s avatar. Even if she was an avatar, her soul was important. He had the intention to protect her no matter what, but now, she was captured.

“Shut up~”

Schleya glared at him, “If any one of you talk without permission, I won’t kill you but still make you go through the gruesome torture. Do you want to cripple your souls? One day, the main body will recollect your avatar’s memories and begin screaming like a crazy person, losing your minds.”

“…”

The inexperienced Heaven’s Warriors couldn’t help but shudder at her threat.

They were not afraid of dying, but… torture? That was something else.

“Why won’t you kill us? Just end us and be done with it.” Clara coldly spoke.

She was also tied up and made to kneel along with the others.

“…” Schleya frowned.

“Clara, you’re still your brother’s little sister, my sister-in-law. You shouldn’t forget family just because you became Heaven’s Warrior in heart and soul. He will feel saddened.”

“I told him I would seal him no matter what.”

“…?”

“I met brother before I came here. Since he didn’t tell me that you were all here, I suppose he didn’t fully trust me either. That’s good. We’re destined to be enemies.”

“…” Schleya’s eyes were wide.

It was a shocker to her that Clara met Davis before coming here, but she supposed so since they seemed to have come from the portal connected to the Voidshade Chasm. She calmed and looked towards Vereina, who seemed to have absorbed ninety-six percent of Lilliana Rayton’s soul essence,

By her calculations, it should take no more than an hour.

“Whether you two are destined to be enemies or not is none of my concern. You are my sister-in-law, so if I decide to spare you, then it is because I care about you. You did not treat me as a villainess despite my background as a wicked-path cultivator. You did not frown when I slashed you back then. Only family could behave like that, so you are indeed my beloved sister-in-law.”

“…” Clara’s expression wavered behind her veil, “Naturally, you are not a Divergent for me to hate you. I will spare you as long as you leave this place.”

“It’s useless to convince me. It is Vereina who wants the Soul Devouring Demoness’s soul. Don’t you also not want that scourge to be destroyed?”

“You’re playing with fire!” Faruja exclaimed, “If that demoness was so easy to kill, we would’ve done it long ago. The Divine Exalts who had copulated with her have escaped to other Galaxies. As long as they remain alive, she will never die. It is too difficult to kill her! Your Divergent friend will be the one who will be controlled! In the end, a scourge will be released into the world!”

“I told you not to talk without permission, right?”

Schleya raised her crimson curved blade, pointing at Faruja.

“Stop.” Clara worded out.

Schleya raised her brows. Even with sealing runes imprinted ropes that suppressed one’s cultivation, Clara was still able to project her Mandate Laws outside.

It was incredible. It was like the heavens were with her always.

Rokushi Mirai also watched, but she didn’t make a move. This family’s circumstances were too convoluted for her to get involved and ultimately killed. Besides, she was also told not to kill the other Heaven’s Warriors since if Clara was the only one who survived here, Clara might be punished or even jailed for an eternity since she would be suspected of colluding with her brother.

It was either kill no one or kill all kinds of situations.

Meanwhile, Illumina’s hand was hovering above Primarch Yulan Nazarin. Due to his powerful cultivation, they were unable to seal him using suppression ropes, so Illumina had to use her darkness energy to suppress him.

“Then we’ll see who survives who. Vereina has accompanied us for a long time, so I’m fairly confident in her abilities.”

Schleya uttered her last words before going silent.

Two hours later, there was finally a change.

“It’s useless. You cannot absorb me…” Lilliana Rayton barely breathed out, a mocking giggle escaping her mouth amidst the screams.

Vereina’s head was covered in dark veins. She was overexerting herself at this point, yet she was stuck at ninety-eight percent, never to reach ninety-nine for over an hour and twenty minutes. It was ridiculous.

Still, her eyes were wide open, full of determination, and not a single thought of failure passed by her head.

“Have you ever eaten Nether Devils…?”

Vereina suddenly asked.

“…”

Lilliana Rayton’s heart sank.

Back then, she remembered the reason she escaped to the Shadow Dimension. It was because she could not compare to the Celestial Transcendent after his improvement that she headed to the Shadow Dimension in order to search for a way to enter the Nether Dimension.

To reach her in the Shadow Dimension, one must strongly think about her. She felt that the Celestial Transcendent wouldn’t think about her since he openly expressed disgust. However, he still managed to find her.

Otherwise, she would’ve entered the Nether Dimension and hunted Nether Devils to improve her soul physique. After all-

“Not only was the Nether Devils delicious, but I am surprised to find that their souls were compatible with our soul physiques. Fortunately, I made the sensible decision to devour three powerful Exalt Stage Nether Devil souls…”

“You… you couldn’t have…”

Lilliana Rayton’s expression finally sank.

Vereina revealed a cold, demonic smile, “Yes, it seems like I have no choice but to use them even though I didn’t want to because it’s too corrupting because of their savage nature…”

Immediately, the three terrifying heads behind Vereina shook.

The savage and evil face of a Nether Devil covered the three heads like an exoskeletal armored mask. They laughed mockingly, taking deep pleasure in Lilliana Rayton’s suffering. As though superimposing with them, Vereina also laughed like a cold-hearted witch.

“Noooo!!!”

Lilliana Rayton let out a fearful scream as she felt herself ripped apart.

*Boom!~*

The fountain cracked, and the twenty-six armaments all trembled, losing control.

The three giant jaws of devouring released an extreme suction power, finally separating Lilliana Rayton’s soul essence from the body and the seal. Once it was outside, the soul was abruptly absorbed into Vereina’s mouth as it went to her soul sea.

There, the three heads that were more than a manifestation sunk and began devouring the soul like a school of piranhas, ripping apart the soul flesh after flesh.

“Aaaahhh!!!”

Lilliana Rayton’s screams never stopped. Her screams turned more miserable and viscerally outlandish as her soul was ripped apart wisp after wisp and refined. Despite being a Divine Exalt soul, it was extremely weak, having no energy to defend itself. Even the minute strands of energy left were used to defend against the devouring.
