Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4516: Suppressing A Peak Grand Ancestral Magical Beast

Davis’s expression sank.

"Why did you lower your size? That was the only thing worthwhile about this fight."

"Human, are you of the mind that size equals strength? Indeed, the more we shrink, the further our strength drops, but not by a great margin. Even at the most minimal size, our body can project over fifty to ninety percent of our power, and a dragon body like mine is at the peak, capable of unleashing ninety percent of my power even at the smallest size. My current size is enough to make a meat paste of you."

Barakiel chuckled with disdain.

"You want to kill me?"

"I want to eat you. You seem strange, as though the heavens want you gone." Barakiel narrowed his eyes.

With his azure eyes, he could see the heaven and earth energy stay away from the purple-robed man.

"You smell tasty. Perhaps something good might happen."

Barakiel finally appeared before Davis, his form towering over him.

The others had already retreated back although his family didn’t move one bit.

It made the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon feel strange, as though something was wrong. The humans in front of it didn’t seem intimidated for some reason, especially the ones at the forefront.

But he was immensely confident in his own power.

Raising his dragon hand, he was about to crush the purple-robed man. However, the massive tail behind him whipped from behind, the terrifying bladed crown smashing Davis from the side.

*Bang!~*

The bladed crown couldn’t pierce through and was blocked by a barrier that suddenly appeared. The resulting force made the Five-Clawed Imperial Dragon shake as its tail wobbled back. It raised its giant eyes, full of astonishment.

"This is surprising. No human would dare receive a strike from me, much less completely negate the impact of harming others behind."

His dragon face smiled as his lips widened, "You’re worthy to fight me at full strength in this form."

*Bzzzz!~*

The Five-Clawed Imperial Dragon fully unleashed its undulations, its golden aura erupting high into the skies. It caused the colors of the heaven and earth to change as though it were currently sunrise. Its huge form blotted out their horizon since it stood so close.

It was like they were facing a magical beast deity.

"Kneel!~"

The Five-Clawed Imperial Dragon roared, its tone and majestic voice spreading throughout heaven and earth before it all condensed at a single point and sank into Davis like a heavenly command.

An incredible amount of force from nowhere tried to make Davis kneel.

’This feeling...’ Davis blinked, "It reminds me of my little sister. As expected of a Five-Clawed Imperial Dragon. Your magical beast core is of Earth-Mandate attribute. Am I right?"

"...!"

The Five-Clawed Imperial Dragon’s azure pupils shrank.

He finally realized something was wrong.

However, it smirked.

He increased his prowess from nine levels higher to ten levels higher.

"Kneel! Kneel!"

He growled, fully unleashing his King-Tier pressure on Davis. However, seeing that the puny human still didn’t kneel to its mighty presence, a vein finally burst in its azure-golden head.

"Ridiculous! Let’s see how you defend against this! Kneel for me!"

It unleashed its full prowess as it grew in size, no longer patient or wanting to have fun. Its prowess instantly grew from ten levels higher to twelve levels higher, shocking Davis.

He finally formed a barrier, restricting the Five-Clawed Imperial Dragon’s aura.

His reaction made the Five-Clawed Imperial Dragon smirk, "Not so arrogant now? Where did your composure go?"

"Father, you can’t play like this. We almost died from the enormous pressure." Eterna complained from behind.

"My little Eterna, I apologize. I didn’t expect this big dragon’s prowess to be twelve levels higher. Truly a marvel for just being a King-Tier Beast."

"Nothing would happen. I got them covered." Myria stated, causing Eterna to giggle.

It seemed she was teasing Davis.

Davis smiled, "In the Immortal Emperor Beast Stage, I suppose his Grand Ancestral Magical Beast Bloodline grants him a prowess that’s three levels higher. Same for his innate comprehension of Earth and Mandate Laws. His King-Tier should also be the same, which leaves the progeny inheritance."

"True," Celestia nodded calmly, never having moved once.

She was clad in a purple robe, her hands folded, causing her bosoms to be perky and big as her mother’s, "The progeny inheritance of a magical beast depends upon the cultivation base of their parents. Two Exalt Beasts having a progeny could increase the prowess of the youngling to be as much as four levels higher in the Immortal Beast Stage, three levels higher in the-"

"What are you ants going on about!?"

The Five-Clawed Imperial Dragon appeared completely enraged by their nonchalant nature and flipped, its claws piercing through the fabric of space as it smashed towards Davis and the others.

The enormous claw of the dragon completely severed their path of retreat. It looked like no matter how they moved now, they would get crushed into meat paste.

However, Davis finally punched out using the simplest form of a fist. It nearly looked lazy, but earthen energy surged at the face of his fist and elongated into a massive fist. It sprang like a sphere launched from a terrifying cannon, finally connecting with the Five-Clawed Imperial Dragon’s giant palm laced with five menacing claws that looked like they could pierce through anything.

*Ripp!~*

The elongated fist was still small but ridiculously powerful, so it ripped through the Five-Clawed Imperial Dragon’s fist all the way up to its body before it got sent flying above, its massive form jolting towards the starry skies like it was a ragdoll as it spun throughout the course of its forced flight.

Ralaza Heavenshade and the other Heavenshades were dumbfounded.

They looked at Davis like they were looking at a monster, their perception of him changing once again.

Of course, they knew he defeated the Venerable Knights, but they guessed it did so after fusing with that strange life and death treasure he used. It was said to be immensely compatible with him that it was marked as a Divergent object now, pending being sealed if it couldn’t be destroyed.

Such a treasure- he shouldn’t be able to bring it here. Therefore, that would only leave him with his internal cultivation.

How far could that stretch?

Yet, he pierced through the ridiculously powerful body of the Five-Clawed Imperial Dragon like it was nothing. He unleashed a damn fist and not a piercing move, yet it blasted a hole through and with the remaining force, still sent the dragon flying.

They couldn’t comprehend where his limit was. Thirteen levels higher? Fourteen? Or even sixteen?

Just the thought of it rising past fourteen levels higher made them shake with immense awe. What needs to be said about sixteen?

"Teacher Celestia, continue..." Davis turned to look around and gestured.

He still looked as nonchalant as ever after sending the Five-Clawed Imperial Dragon flying. It had been sent out of this area, but he was sure it would come back since dragons were innately powerful beings that looked for battles that were above their pay grade.

Celestia blushed but still kept her calm, "-three levels higher in the Immortal King Beast Stage, two levels higher in the Immortal Emperor Beast Stage, and a level higher in the Empyrean Stage. Considering that Barakiel’s base prowess is likely eleven levels higher and his maximum throughput using mandate energy is twelve levels higher, it is likely that his parents are Exalt Beasts, as it was said before by the Heavenshades."

"Good." Davis nodded, "What else did you notice?"
