Divine Emperor of Death

The metal spirit looked at the Lustrous Soaring Dawn Spirit with narrowed eyes before he flew towards Nightveil, who had just regained herself upon devouring the lightning.

She didn't dare to absorb the heavenly lightning as she knew that it would spell her death but still, her ability to conjure a world of darkness and engulf her opponents into a silent space conjured by her spirit body still helped her overpower equal level experts.

Last time, she was about to pull Davis into this dark zone before he frightened her with his strange yet infallible energy. But this time, she used it on the heavenly tribulation and successfully defended against it.

However, her big bosoms were heaving. The sign of exhaustion was already revealing itself in her eyes. Each of her attacks was concentrated enough to expend around ten percent of her energy every time, and with subsequent tribulation lightning falling on her, her energy consumption kept getting worse and worse.

Her body cultivation was useless in dealing with a heavenly tribulation that was one level higher.

Therefore, she had to use her spirit and essence cultivation which were both cut to half at this moment. Furthermore, she was already injured from the cleansing of the heavenly flames, making her weak enough that she was starting to lose confidence if she could survive the last three lightning strikes.

Her eyes momentarily glanced for some kind of help, perhaps motivation, when she suddenly saw a metal spirit approaching her with furious momentum.

Nightveil felt her scalp turn numb.

Where was that human? Did he die!? Or did he'¦ run away?

*Rumble!~*

The seventh heavenly tribulation lightning plunged towards the earth, heading straight towards her. This bolt of heavenly lightning was thicker than the last, giving Nightveil no time to redirect her attention towards external danger!

*Boom!~*

The tribulation lightning struck Nightveil almost instantaneously while she summoned another one of her abilities where an arrow of darkness pierced through the heavenly lightning. Simultaneously, Nightveil heaved a sigh as she looked exhausted, not because her attack was powerful enough to take away twenty percent of her essence energy but because she sensed a black-gold boulder heading her way, intending to crush her into bits.

It was really the case of handing her life to another person.

At this moment, she really missed her father and mother, who would've given their lives to protect her.

*Boom!!!~*

Suddenly, the black-gold boulder broke as it was crushed to smithereens by an even more terrible force. It was a giant ten-meter tall cauldron with red-veined patterns. However, It smashed right into the giant two-kilometer bold that looked like it was a meteor crashing and destroyed that boulder like it was nothing.

"Ahaha! I knew you were still alive, human trash!"

Abruptly, the image of the Lustrous Soaring Dawn Spirit faded when he suddenly appeared behind Davis, who stood in front of the metal spirit, barring his path. In Davis's right hand was the Purple Soul Flame Lantern, which he pointed towards the Lustrous Soaring Dawn Spirit.

However, his hand was suddenly enveloped by a radiant golden blow before it exploded into a bloody mess.

"Die!"

The Lustrous Soaring Dawn Spirit waved his hand as he retreated when thousands of radiant swords descended on Davis.

"Emperor Soul Domain'¦"

Davis lightly spoke while blood dripped from his right shoulder in copious amounts. The Purple Soul Flame Lantern plunged to the ground, but it was not the focus anymore as a deathly atmosphere instantly surrounded the space.

*Rumble!~*

The eight heavenly lightning fell at this moment, and when it struck Nightveil amidst the blinding radiance of the golden-blue lightning, the two silhouettes of the light spirit and metal spirit disintegrated as they disappeared through the breeze.

A pure white light shone on Davis's right shoulder the next second before an arm began growing anew that one could see how his flesh was reconstructing itself perfectly.

"Well, I was a bit slow-moving in their soul suppression, not to mention soul suppression on spirits is quite useless if we're at the same level..."

Davis patted his shoulder as he pursed his lips.

It could be said that he had a taste of his own medicine as he was the one using soul suppression to deal with the others. Nevertheless, he had to use his Emperor Soul Domain with Fallen Heaven's prowess in order to keep them from disturbing Nightveil as they were so close, just a few meters away from the twenty-seven-kilometer zone.

However, he accidentally ended up killing them within an instant.

'So using Fallen Heaven outside the twenty-seven-kilometer range is absolutely okay...'

However, when he unleashed Heaven Cleaving Abyss at the wind spirit using a manifested black sword as a foundation, he saw that his attack had also entered the twenty-seven-kilometer radius and almost entered three-kilometer range, making him believe that its attacks would also work inside the former's radius.

However, he didn't know what would happen if he used Fallen Heaven's prowess in the three-kilometer zone of the heavenly tribulation. It certainly made him curious, but he had no plans to die without knowing how like he killed the others.

Before Nightveil could even receive the ninth strike, his right arm was healed as it became good as new. But Nightveil, on the other hand'¦

'¦ was on her knees, looking severely heaving for breath as though she was on her last legs.

"Don't give up. You can do it."

Davis cheered her up with a mild voice. It made Nightveil glance at him as she had her face looking above at the revolving tribulation clouds that looked as if they were going to seal her fate as it brewed with copious amounts of heavenly aura and energy, gathering into one big strand to take her down.

Just to defend against the eighth strike, she had to sacrifice her spirit essence, which made her further weak. If it weren't for the heavenly flames that burned her, sacrificing five percent of her spirit essence really wasn't much, but with the heavenly aura weighing on her and the subsequent, constant usage of multiple energies really had a severe toll on her that she felt like she was going to faint.

However, listing to Davis's voice, intense anger welled up within her.

"Stop'¦ looking down on me'¦!"

With a furious bellow, she flew into the skies, heading towards the bolt of lightning that swirled in the skies, transforming into the shape of a dragon!

Davis became flabbergasted as to why he was gotten mad at when he practically saved her from external trouble. Nevertheless, even his heart palpitated as he saw the little dragon in the skies, but Nightveil didn't stop her advance as she flew towards the skies.

It appeared small but was enormous, at least ten meters wide. It locked down Nightveil with its heavenly pressure before it slowly fell, unlike the previous heavenly lightning strikes that were rather instantaneous.

Nightveil bit her lips and burned the spirit essence in her soul. Dark gas seeped out of her raised hands as a dark vortex appeared before her hands. The swirl in the vortex began to spin faster by the second, but there was only a brief interval of two seconds before the dragon-like heavenly lightning bolt neared her!

"Evernight Darkness Swallows the World!"

*Boom!!!~*

Nightveil screamed atop of her lungs as though giving strength to herself, but her voice was muffled by the resounding explosion of the heavenly lightning that blasted her. A blinding light illuminated the eyes of the witnesses, almost blinding them. The next moment, a figure came rushing down shrouded in lightning before it crashed into the mountain summit, drilling deep into the mountains as intense rumbling kept echoing before it finally stopped.

For a second, silence returned to the world as everyone wondered what had happened just now.

Was Nightveil still alive or not?

*Rumble!~*

"There's still more?"

Davis turned to look up with confusion. However, he understood that this sound was more like the end of the heavenly tribulation rather than beginning something anew. If it did, it would've twisted his views and flipped his understanding of the heavenly tribulations he had gathered so far.

Nevertheless, the fact that the tribulation clouds didn't leave only meant one thing.

"She's still not dead yet, alright..."

Davis watched the devastated yet poor mountain summit with apt attention while he collected the spoils on the battlefield.

A second, ten, thirty, a minute, two'¦ five minutes passed in utter silence amidst the curious gazes of the spirits just like that when suddenly'¦

Davis shivered as he felt as though he was under the majestic presence of a ruler as a wave of spirit energy rushed past him.

*Bzzzz!~*

The mountain summit came crumbling down altogether, revealing a black-robed figure with glistening pale-grey skin. Not only did she appear unharmed, but the aura around her also radiated with immense glory, imbuing a type of reverence in everyone around her.

The darkness spirits witnessing this sight completely knelt and kowtowed.

Although Davis doubted the fact if she was unharmed as internal injuries should still remain for some time, even he felt like wanting to kneel for a moment before he shook that thought out of his head, narrowing his eyes as both of their gazes met, his sapphire eyes and her golden eyes matching gazes as they refused to take their eye off each other.

"Human, my name is Iris Serenity." Nightveil's melodious voice echoed before her lips curved at him, "What's your name?"

Davis took a breath as he felt like he had the honor to introduce himself to a real immortal before his lips moved.

"Davis Loret."

Iris Serenity grinned as she clenched her fist at him.

"Davis Loret, I will help you in the immortal world if you ever manage to need my assistance, but of course, if I help you, you will be indebted to me, and since you cannot immediately repay me with your wealth, so you will become my precious servant! Ahahaha!"
