Divine Emperor of Death

'No…' Davis shook his head after he took a breath, 'No one likes to have their home invaded regardless. This could also be a result of incurring the world master's wrath.'

However, Davis couldn't help but feel some trepidation in his heart because if what Myria said was true, then that world master is still alive.

The world master who sealed Fallen Heaven was still alive…

In that case, would he be able to take Fallen Heaven away from such a godly existence? Or did that existence know what he was doing and still allow him to do what he wanted?

Davis placed a hand on his face, lightly chuckling in vain as he looked a bit mad. His emotions couldn't help but turn chaotic, and in turn, he lost control of his soul force that hid his tyrannical aura.

"…!?"

Myria visibly flinched as she was the closest to Davis, turning to look at him in utter shock as her posture quickly turned into one of battle steadiness. Her heart skipped a beat, feeling the overbearing heavenly aura radiating from him in a tidal wave as it overwhelmed her in an instant.

Although there was no hostile intent, her eyes couldn't help but widen, her pupils dilating as she displayed a hostile gaze toward him.

"You…"

Her lips quivered, a bit of trepidation and anger clearly ringing out from her voice.

Davis became startled at Myria's movements before he quickly pulled back his essence aura, covering it up with his soul force while raising his hands as though raising a white flag.

"Don't be so alarmed. I just created an artificial unique physique-"

"Don't lie! Who are you!?"

Myria's soul force surged out into an ominous cloud as death energy became rampant around her, causing everyone's pupils to dilate. This was the first time they were seeing someone else than Davis use death energy with such ease and mastery, causing them to become stiff with fear as it was directed in their direction.

Davis frowned before he instantly raised his hand towards the side, his soul force surging out with equal intensity as it turned into life and death energy, forming a barrier. It instantly caused the women behind him to have space to breathe, feeling themselves rid of that immense pressure as he protected them from Myria's outburst.     

"Calm down." His expression turned solemn, "That karmic connection you have with me through the promissory note should still be there. You can verify it instead of acting out of misplaced hatred."

"…"

Myria had her brows tightly knit, her gaze filled with killing intent. However, after hearing Davis's statement, she seemed to slowly calm down, her brows returning normal while her expression and muscles relaxed ever so lightly.

Davis dropped his hand as he made his barrier disperse while Myria's death energy also shook and seeped back into her body. The others who witnessed this scene felt cold in their hearts, coming to deeply understand both their powers were at the highest one could reach in this world after seeing it so close.

Besides, the space around them was already filled with tiny cracks. If any one of their powers surged, then space would undoubtedly break, but no one moved as space began stitching back. Even Lea looked visibly shocked as in her long life, she had never felt that she would think space was as fragile as glass, but after witnessing this scene, she was proved otherwise.

'Woah… she truly hates the vast heavens to the very core...'

On the other hand, Davis could tell that Myria's hatred was more than what he displayed towards the heavens. Otherwise, he found it hard that she would act like this, almost losing herself to the instinctual conditioning of defending herself.

"You… what do you mean by you made an artificial unique physique…?"

However, Myria's eyes still fluttered with some disbelief and wariness.

"How about you apologize first?" Davis raised his brows.

Internally, he admitted that he displayed the heavenly prowess of heavenly lightning and heavenly flames, so he couldn't find fault with her actions if he thought about her outburst this way. However, he still couldn't help but feel some anger because his women were right behind, and some of them wouldn't have survived if she instinctively attacked.

Myria clenched her teeth as though she was about retort but looking at the expressions of the beautiful faces behind him, her tongue was caught in her throat. Biting her lips, she looked away and clenched her fists.

"It's your fault for being carelessly releasing that kind of energy at me, but if my powers had hurt anyone, then I apologize."

Myria's cheeks slightly blushed as though she felt shame before raising her hand, "Quick, tell me. How did you gain this artificial unique physique!?"

Davis wanted to grin, but he could hear some worry in her voice. He couldn't even tell if it was Myria or Ellia at this moment but still told her through soul transmission what he did.

Myria looked shocked, taking a step back in pure disbelief.

"What… what have you done…?"

Davis had not only crossed the restriction placed on mortals through absorbing heavenly lightning and heavenly flames but also created a physique through it using her words as a basis?

Taking a step back, she could still understand that he had somehow managed to steal even the heavenly flames but to comprehend the essence of it and learn Level Seven Abstruse Intent, which should not be possible as even her Law Comprehension was restricted, but still, to make an artificial unique physique out of heavenly lightning and heavenly flame through his Extreme Mutated Inner World Core that adapted to extinction lightning and flames…

Just… what kind of concept was that!?

"You're doomed..." Myria listlessly whispered.

However, Davis was shocked to see Myria fall to her knees, tears spilling out of her eyes as her lips moved.

"You won't cross your immortal tribulation..."

She sobbed in front of everyone's dumbfounded gaze, causing them to quickly understand that it was not Myria but Ellia. However, they were shocked to hear her words.

Davis wouldn't cross his immortal tribulation!?

"Why did you… do that…?"

Ellia closed her eyes and lowered her head, her voice seething with despair and pain that it caused Davis to remain dumbfounded.

He was aware that his karmic burden would be huge, but for her despair like this, was his chances to cross the immortal tribulation that abysmal?

"Davis… is that true…?"

Davis turned to look at Evelynn as he saw her eyes welling up with tears. He flinched before clenching his teeth and raising his hand.

"Damn it! I knew what I was doing, alright!? Don't cry..."

He blurted at Evelynn before he softly said, turning to look at the others. However, he saw that their expressions were like they were already looking at their almost dead husband, causing him to nearly asphyxiate. It seemed like his words weren't convincing for them to believe his words.

'Well, I'm not convinced myself...'

Davis pursed his lips before he sighed and turned around, walking towards the icy-blue-robed woman before he knelt before her.

"Ellia, I told you before, didn't I?"

Ellia raised her head, looking at Davis with a dreary stare.

"You, of all people, should know that thing wouldn't let me off just because I'm acting obedient or even deferential. If I want to survive, I must take risks, or all I'm going to get is bits and crumbs, which is not enough for me."

Davis's eyes flashed with a furious glint, "That's why… I ate a big chunk out of it regardless of the consequences and would continue to do so until I have enough power to protect everyone I love, even you."

The light in Ellia's eyes returned, glowing with an emotion that she didn't have before; the will to survive and surpass oneself no matter what it takes, and although Myria already had this will, she couldn't help but feel a greater resonance with his words in her heart as though it was meant for her.
