Divine Emperor of Death

While Davis kept healing Sect Master Lea Weiss while concentrating a bit on her lower dantian and soul, Ancestor Cornelia was still shocked, unable to utter a word again as she was utterly captivated by the life energy and kept staring at it with wide, bulging eyes.

Her eyes occasionally moved to him in wonder before she looked at Lea Weiss again, seemingly appearing to be awe yet full of curiosity like a little kid.

Feeling the stifling silence and Ancestor Cornelia's expectant gaze, Davis finally spoke.

"Let's just say that I have a special constitution of unknown nature... also, help me keep this a secret, or else, I'll heal you and make you unable to die, and if you try to kill yourself, I will seal your cultivation and make you live far more than you should as I put you into captivity..."

Ancestor Cornelia appeared taken aback before a wry smile appeared on her face.

"So... is this truly Life Laws?"

Davis nodded his head while Ancestor Cornelia sucked in a breath of cold yet hot air since this was the crimson mountain of the Burning Phoenix.

"No wonder... no wonder you were able to survive against all odds and not go insane under the usage of Death Laws. You have this type of... heavenly constitution that makes you invulnerable to the corruption of Death Laws."

"Is that so...?"

Davis couldn't tell because he wasn't largely influenced by Death Laws or Life Laws, although her words made him understand as he had seen Fallen Heaven primarily affected by it, lingering a ruthless killer before becoming a saint who appeared to be careful of reaping lives when the white tendrils showed up in its body.

"Davis, the name Emperor of Death no longer suits you."

Ancestor Cornelia suddenly spoke after a short pause, causing him to chuckle.

"I didn't give a title to myself."

Ancestor Cornelia smiled along with him.

"Your future is far more bright than anyone I've ever seen. As long as you don't die, reaching the apex of the immortal world shouldn't be a dream for you."

Davis simply nodded, not commenting on this high praise.

"I won't ask you to take little Lea anymore."

Davis's brows raised as he became surprised.

"Why?"

He couldn't help but ask because shouldn't it be the opposite?

"Because you're bound to experience tragedies if you're going to walk on the path to the summit. I know you're a good man who cares about your loved ones. However, the people you love are just a burden for you if you're this radiant, so there's no need to carry this burden as well."

"Burden?"

Davis couldn't help but laugh, "Haha. What use is reaching the apex and being all alone? Besides, would I have survived without my wives being there to take care of me? Perhaps- No, even my body wouldn't have remained."

Ancestor Cornelia shook her head.

"You would've never come into conflict with the Dragon Families without Earth Dragon Queen Isabella or come into conflict with Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross without caring for your Alstreim Family. That's what I meant by burden because having people to care about means weaknesses to be exploited. We phoenixes are the most aware of this concept, yet we can't seem to break away from it."

"I agree, but still, if I don't make things difficult for myself, who can?"

"How arrogant..."

Ancestor Cornelia widely smiled at his confidence.

"I see I am being redundant since you seem to already have considered this and still chose to walk this path."

Davis heavily nodded.

He felt that he would never change in this aspect. Although he didn't think it was entirely bad for him as he attained so much happiness that he didn't experience while being alone, becoming detached as though he was a walking corpse among the living. He didn't want to return to such a life after experiencing bliss with so many beautiful flowers which bloomed for him.

On the other hand, Ancestor Cornelia wondered if she had been hasty. If he accepted this path of walking with many difficulties, an additional difficulty wouldn't make a difference, right?

She contemplated for a few seconds, but in the end, she shook her head.

'Whatever... I can't be babysitting these children...'

"Looks like her injuries weren't that much..."

Abruptly, Sect Master Lea Weiss's eyelids shook, causing Davis to comment.

'That soon!?'

Ancestor Cornelia became shocked by his prowess in Life Laws. She had checked Lea Weiss's injuries and found that her lower dantian and meridian pathways connecting to it had been somewhat injured, charred by the heavenly lightning.

These injuries aren't easily clearable as they're two levels higher, not to mention it bore the sanctimonious aura of the heavens that stated everything is beneath it, even life and death. Unless they obtained a heavenly resource that's medicinal in nature and a level higher than the condition of the injury, it should've been practically impossible to heal!

Indeed, Davis found that his life energy was lacking, so he also used Fallen Heaven's life energy, mixing it with his own as he healed Lea Weiss. For one, he felt that it would take too long if he used his energy alone, and the other, he was curious of Lea Weiss, wanting to ask her why she fell for a man who had so many women already from her own mouth so that he could put an end to this matter one way or another.

"...!"

At this moment, Sect Master Lea Weiss's eyes suddenly shot open before she sat up while Davis stopped using his life energy a few moments ago already. She appeared clueless for a moment as she stared into empty space before her crimson pupils caught sight of Davis, a huge smile appearing on her face in an instant.

"Husband~ Thank the heavens! You're still alive! Ancestor Cornelia is here too? But... wait- What about our child? Where's our baby!?"

She looked at Davis and Ancestor Cornelia with intense worry in her eyes while her voice was so delicate, leaving Davis dumbfounded by both the content and the disappearance of her prideful voice. She looked as if she was about to get out of the bed when she suddenly froze, raising her hand to see her palm; no, check her cultivation.

"I'm not an immortal...?"

Her crimson eyes shuddered before a glimmer of realization shone in her eyes as she slowly turned to look at the man beside her. Davis could see her cheeks quickly turning crimson as all the blood rushed into her head.

"Die!"

Sect Master Lea Weiss quickly threw a punch at his face, but Davis saw it coming and captured her wrist. There was no hint of power behind her attack, but he could see tears forming in her eyes, seemingly wanting to kill herself out of shame as she trembled.

Nevertheless, he didn't know what to say as his lips twitched.

The way she called him husband... asking where their child is...

Davis's heart couldn't help but feel strange.

This woman... she created a family of three with him in her Heart Demon Tribulation instead of trying to overcome it!?

No wonder she failed!

She didn't resist but went along with it!
