Divine Emperor of Death

Spirits began appearing closer, wondering what was going to happen to the tribulation-taker as they didn't see the ascendance rift.

However, the moment they neared a certain radius, they began dropping dead. Some didn't notice at first and ended up drying in droves! But the moment they noticed, everyone began to both scream and scram for their lives!

At the same time, the powerful spirits of the Spirit Ancestral Ground and Inferno Spirit Chamber, who were waiting to see the results and probably try to recruit the spirit that had possibly passed, also became horrified.

They were initially gathered en masse to wreck the situation if the opportunity presented itself. They were outraged but then when they saw even the Ninth Stage Spirits hidden fall like puppets cut off from strings; they didn't dare to cross the line as they were painfully reminded of the human's feat that killed one of their apex spirits!

Was there no end to his overbearing strength!? How did it even strike them when they felt nothing!?

Davis was highly ruthless at this moment, killing anyone who dared to near. He didn't care about their reasons as he had already warned twice. He could allow any mistakes to happen during this transformation.

As he kept sending delicate strands of heavenly lightning essence to Eldia, he carefully watched her glow for any kind of changes. The lightning sphere around her that was like a spherical cocoon brightened, becoming more significant, but other than that, there were little to no changes.

*Badump!~*

"…!?"

Davis's heart skipped a beat!

No, it wasn't his own heart that resounded as loud as a gong but someone else's.

Davis's mouth became as he watched the black-purple lightning sphere. The sound of heartbeat… just came from inside it. From this, he could practically infer that Eldia was turning into a spirit, arising with a fleshly body!

*Badump!~*

*Badump!~*

*Badump!~*

The sound of heartbeat began to echo aloud each second, causing Davis to become anxious, wondering if she should stop sending the refined strands of heavenly lightning to her.

Was something going awry?

However, the sound of heartbeat quickly slowly receded but could still be heard in a normal rhythm, unlike the previous heavy yet rapid ones that made him freak out. The spherical cocoon that brightened stayed like that as he sent the strands of heavenly tribulation lightning while seemingly swirling around, looking as though it was another living entity in itself.

'Let me be right… This special state of transformation constructs a fleshly body, turning the Spirit Attribute Source into a Spirit. If I'm not wrong with all the knowledge I've studied before, the compatibility Eldia already has with heavenly lightning should allow her to absorb the ones I'm sending without any trouble...'

Davis possessed a nervous expression as he logically mused, but he could only wish that nothing bad would happen. If something wrong did transpire, he was ready to capture her complete soul essence before it could escape the living world, wanting to do the same thing he planned to do one other person.

Seconds passed… minutes passed…

Davis remained cautious, observing the process with the utmost concentration.

It wasn't long before eight minutes that the spherical cocoon began showing signs of weakening, becoming dull.

Davis tilted his head, feeling like he had seen something when something suddenly reached out to him.

Before Davis saw two frail palms over the purplish-black spherical cocoon, a blunt sound echoed. The outer layer peeled off like a layer, prompting Davis to quickly take hold of both hands.

Did Eldia want him to pull her out?

He didn't know but captured her soft hands that rather made him feel electrified. Thin black lightning strands ran around her palms, passing him to him. It wasn't hostile but rather made him feel warm as though this life depended on him.

Davis blinked before a content smile appeared on his face.

He noticed that her hands were covered in crimson blood, but he quickly mused that it was probably the aftermath of her body being created. After all, he could feel her stable life aura. Moreover, he cast Fallen Heaven's life energy to heal her, which also most likely ended up probably boosting her transformation in unknown yet healthy ways hopefully.

He licked his lips and eagerly awaited her presence when the solidified lightning strands actually began to crack like an egg-shell breaking. Instantly, millions of cracks formed before it faded away into nothing, revealing a gorgeous figure of a woman who currently held hands with him.

She opened her eyes as a strand of black lightning flashed past her bluish-black pupils that lustrously shone while her scintillating white hair waved in the air. There was this majestic aura about her, overbearing yet kind, that was fantastical to Davis as he saw the white crown on top of her head, directly contrasting to her black eyes and lightning.

However, what was more fantastical to him was her luxuriously curvy, a purple-skinned body that made his heart skip a beat.

While Davis watched with wide eyes, Eldia was butt naked as they held hands. The blood on her body quickly disappeared, no was absorbed back into her body. However, that revealed the entirety of her perfect purple skin that lustrously shone like the stars, appearing otherworldly as well as sexy, especially her soft yet big breasts that swayed ever so lightly under her small movements while floating in mid-air.

Davis's mouth went slightly agape before he clenched his teeth.

'Wait a fucking minute… why is she not a child like a newborn spirit should be…!?'

'Could it be that Spirit Attribute Sources that underwent a heavenly tribulation are different…? Is it not a complete change to a new race but an evolution?'

He thought Spirit Attribute Sources and Spirits were different races or entities despite having a connection, but it might not be the case if they retained their previous age. After all, soul and flesh age should be different, but Eldia was born a grown, mature spirit!

He reeled in disbelief before Eldia suddenly threw herself to him as she embraced him, wrapping her hands around his waist as she pasted her face on his chest, causing him to freeze.

"Please don't look away..."

"Eldia?"

Davis felt her warm yet electrifying body bringing him unknown and unseen pleasure: 'This… is...'

"I feel… humiliated…?"

Eldia trembled as she hesitantly spoke, causing Davis to come out of his reverie as he looked below, seeing her perky ass that came into his view before he shook his head.

"You meant ashamed… or shameful is the right word for this kind of situation..."

He took out a white sheet and wrapped it around her, making her stand straight before he completely covered her figure. The piece of cloth was at Emperor Grade, but from Eldia, he could only sense Low-Level First Stage undulations, meaning that she was at the very beginning of the Spiritual Mortal Stage, the First Stage for Spirits that combined both Soul And Essence Cultivation.

As for her Body Cultivation, he couldn't sense it, but he felt that it was also at Low-Level First Stage.

However, he could feel that her Spiritual Mortal Stage Cultivation was rapidly rising by the second, again, which was unheard of for any newborn spirits.

While his eyes intensely yet observantly examined her, Eldia kept her head lowered, feeling shy.

She couldn't comprehend these emotions that suddenly popped out from nowhere. What was she supposed to do with these newfound feelings?

She couldn't understand.

"Master, can you please… stop staring at me…" She expressed her discomfort.

Davis came out of his reverie again before he smiled, "No."

"Why…?"

Eldia looked taken aback, a crimson blush forming on her purple-skinned cheek, which made her look extremely beautiful.

"I'll teach you how to make artificial clothes through using your energy, so carefully listen to my words as I'll only explain this to you once. If you mess it up, there'll be serious consequences..."

Eldia unknowingly gulped.

"What kind of consequences…?"

Davis's expression turned into a sleazy smile, "You'll have to form a soul pact with me regardless of your intentions."

"Oh…"

Eldia blinked as her cute bluish-black eyes shone before her beautiful purple lips curved into a genuine smile.

"If it's like that, then I'll mess up then..."

"…"

Her melodious voice echoed with joy, causing Davis to almost shut down.
