Chapter 1587 – Invoking Dread

The Domitian Family Patriarch"s expression became unsightly as he hurriedly retreated! He placed his hand on his carved and bloodied stomach only to sense his lower dantian be no longer present!

It had actually been destroyed!

His High-Level Law Rune Stage Cultivation was taken away from him in an instant that he could feel his meridians drying a bit, his essence energy rapidly evaporating from him as they could no longer retain essence energy!

Moreover, the ominous wolf"s death energy ran rampant inside him, all the while his fiery martial energy was facing immense difficulty to eradicate it!

"What....! What is this!??? How can this death energy be so powerful!!!?"

Along with the terrified Domitian Family"s Patriarch, the others retreated as well, intending to first escape out of this magical beast domain.

Due to the deathly aura, they could not even recognize Nadia"s queenly aura as a King-Tier Magical Beast. Furthermore, due to the death energy"s obscurity, they couldn"t pinpoint her exact prowess level unless they received it themselves. Therefore, they failed to account for all of her abnormalities.

But now, after Old Man Yorhan and Domitian Family"s Patriarch seemed to almost die in an instant, making them deeply aware of the power difference between them.

They, the rulers of the human race, were now being miserably chased by a terrifying magical beast! Their hearts raced with fear while they used all their powers to defend against the domain as they retreated.

Flames erupted as it burned with intensity, water radiated into a viscous and heavy barrier, and wind shredded the death energy while light tried to eradicate the deathly domain at the same time. Whatever they must do, they must first come out of this deathly energy that engulfed and tried to suffocate them to death.

*Whoos.h.!.+~*

The first to leave the deathly domain was the incredibly fast Ike Family"s Patriarch and his Grand Elders, who all possessed the Wind Dragon"s blood. The next group was the Orcha Family, Heaven Gazing Sect, and the Heaven Mandate Temple, simultaneously exiting.

Lastly, the Domitian Family.

However...

"Since you came, leave your life behind~"

A melodious voice seething with killing intent echoed.

The Domitian Family Patriarch was just about to leave the deathly domain when his head flew in an arc and began plunging to the ground, but before it could even descend, it was swallowed by a wolf"s gaping maws that shut down firmly in an instant.

Isabella brandished her golden sword and kept it sheathed over her waist while the other powerhouse"s jaws dropped.

The Domitian Family Patriarch"s soul didn"t even have a chance to escape while fighting Isabella"s energy in the severed head. Instead, his soul was devoured the moment the head entered Nadia"s mouth as her fangs sank with death energy coated. Blood squished out of his severed head when her sharp wolf teeth sank, making it extremely delectable for her to munch on him.

Isabella didn"t do anything after she severed the Domitian Family Patriarch"s neck but retreated towards the Purple Guest Palace before turning around and facing the powerhouses.

"My Earth Dragon already relayed my intentions, but I"ll say it again. Regardless of whether you are part of the Four Great Righteous Sects or not, none of you can enter without my approval. Now leave or face death."

At this moment, Nadia"s doppelganger simultaneously recovered whilst receiving a ma.s.sive energy boost from her real body. They appeared between Isabella and them, forming the first line of defense as deathly energy swirled around them like they were the collective harbingers of death.

The expressions of those Dragon Families, Heaven Gazing Sect, and Heaven Mandate Temple were unsightly, especially the two Domitian Family"s Grand Elders who managed to escape and survive. They looked at their Patriarch"s corpse, which was being currently in the maws of the wolf, being munched upon as blood splashed towards the ground.

Their bodies couldn"t help but tremble in immense rage but also dread as now their Domitian Family had been weakened, perhaps taken down from the Four Great Dragon Families like the Zlatan Family.

After all, the Burning Phoenixes were still alive, but the dragons were not. The Golden Dragon, Fire Dragon, Water Dragon, and Wind Dragon were not present or heard of to be alive. Perhaps, their descendants were there as inferior species serving as mounts, unlike the kind of unity the Burning Phoenix Ridge shared. From this, it could be a.s.sumed that their ability to reproduce was low despite having immense vitality out of all the magical beasts in the world.

It was the same for them. Their Patriarchs were their pillar, and even if there were Ancestors unknown to themselves, they could only be used for the time when their power"s base gets attacked, when their life and death are truly at stake.

Nevertheless, looking at the two wolves that radiated similar aura and prowess, they couldn"t help but feel frightened. One was already able to make two peak powerhouses run for their lives, and if two were present, wouldn"t these ominous wolves be invincible!?

They all felt the need to eradicate it from the face of their world.

However, without the Four Dragon Families and the Four Great Righteous Sects a.s.sembling together, they had little to no confidence, especially when a rumored inheritor Isabella seemed to be supporting this ominous wolf!

"Dragon Queen Isabella, are you crazy!? You can"t protect an evil ent.i.ty like that...!"

One of the Heaven Mandate Temple"s Grand Elder yelled at her while pointing.

"Evil ent.i.ty?"

Isabella"s expression appeared irritated beyond anger. She wasn"t in the mood to do this as only killing intent brewed inside her. However, she couldn"t let Nadia be viewed with absolute enmity that she felt that she must make her stance clear.

"What part of Nadia is evil when she is merely protecting this Territory? In fact, you are all the ones stepping into our home. She has been telling you all to leave, yet none of you have complied."

"Nonsense! That ominous wolf is not the one who rules this Territory, nor is it you!"

Isabella almost rolled her eyes in deep exasperation, but she just closed and opened her eyes.

"Well then, let"s try again. Ancestor Dian Alstreim, tell them all to leave."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim trembled at being called in front of all these big shots, but his expression became ruthless as he bellowed.

"Leave from my Alstreim Family"s Territory!"

"Dian Alstreim!" That one-armed Honorable Elder yelled, "Have you forgotten that it with our grace that you have been able to keep this Territory to yourself!? Without our support-"

"Yeah, right." Ancestor Dian Alstreim sneered, "That"s why you"re all still alive and not targeted by Nadia, unlike the Domitian Family"s Patriarch. We can have a talk after you great righteous sects send the Dragon Families back to their homes. Until then, I can only tell you all to leave!"

"You...!"

That one-armed Honorable Elder looked as if he had eaten something distasteful. He couldn"t believe that he had just been berated and told to scram by a mere hegemon from the Nine Western Territories under their subordination.

This was definitely insubordination, but no one seemed to bring it out as the Alstreims unquestionably had power for them to stand up for themselves with this ominous wolf and Isabella.

The Temple Master of the Heaven Mandate Temple narrowed his eyes, understanding less of what"s going on. Shouldn"t it be common sense that cultivators who practice Death Laws are evil, so how could it be any different for this magical beast?

It just didn"t make sense to him why Isabella would protect this wolf.

Was it just because it was her husband"s magical beast mount? Even then, he felt that it was ridiculous as she was turning the entire righteous world against her at this moment, bringing herself more harm and more danger.

Nevertheless, knowing that he couldn"t possibly hunt this wolf down with their current lineup and feeding this wolf with free meals by thoughtlessly attacking it seemed like a dull thing to do that he decided to take a step back.

"Since you insist, we"ll come again later to enact justice. By then, I hope that Dragon Queen Isabella would-"

*Shhh!~*

Swirls of pitch-black death energy suddenly shot towards him. His expression scrunched up with a bit of anger, but he retreated along with the others. At the same time, those swirls of dark energy changed directions and rushed at the Dragon Families, causing their scalps to turn numb.

"You...!"

The Orcha Family"s Patriarch, whose hair and eyes were sapphire blue as the pearls in the ocean, rapidly formed a water domain that stretched tens of kilometers as he retreated. It considerably slowed the death energy, but his endless raging waves of water also seemed to be diminis.h.i.+ng at a rapid pace, far more than he could replenish them with at his current pace.

At the same time, he hatefully glanced at the great righteous sects retreat without being attacked while they, the Dragon Families, took the brunt of the deathly attacks from those two violent ominous wolves.

The Ike Family"s Patriarch simply took away his Grand Elders with him flew away with immense speed, leaving Orcha Family to fend for itself. However, the Orcha Family Patriarch could barely hold against the barrage of the two ominous wolves but looking at the deathly energy specifically target the two Domitian Family Grand Elders, his expression became ruthless as he abruptly pushed them out of his water-attributed martial domain.

"What!?"

"You sc.u.m!!!"

The two Domitian Family"s Grand Elders screamed in rage as they were caught off-guard and backstabbed, but their expressions turned into one of horror as they sensed two claws latch on to them!
