Divine Emperor of Death

Davis and Evelynn turned to look at each other in shock.

They were already amazed by the Blood Essence Orb's insane ability to save a dying power by completely purifying their bloodline, which was a feat that only he was capable but even that was when the bloodline still hadn't solidified yet, but when it combined with the Life Essence Orb, it could even cause new life to spawn?

"Wait… what do you mean by that? Would a human be born, or is it heaven's favored magical beasts or heaven's creation spirits?" Evelynn couldn't help but ask.

However, there was a pause before Lereza's voice echoed again.

"A new race, perhaps..."

"What!?"

Davis and Evelynn were thoroughly stunned by Lereza's words again that they lost their composure.

"Of course, these are just legends. Hehe~"

Lereza giggled, appearing to be satisfied by their reaction.

"Even if it is true, then to match the purity of the Blood Essence Orb and Life Essence Orb in order to combine them is a matter that is beyond imagination. Besides, humans, magical beasts, spirits, and feys aren't the only races that exist in the immortal world. There are other minor races as well."

"Perhaps, one of them may very well be a result of the combination of the Life Essence Orb and Blood Essence Orb."

"Like the Vacuous Beasts?" Davis curiously asked.

"…"

However, Lereza didn't respond as she went silent. But still, Davis and Evelynn contemplated her words, making them feel somewhat excited that were so many things left to discover in First Haven World, much less the immortal world.

Nonetheless, Davis couldn't understand something.

Why would choosing the Blood Essence Orb be the perfect choice for him? Just as he was about to ask, Lereza's soft and charming voice resounded.

"More than anything else, the Blood Essence Orb is also one of the ingredients required to create the physique you're after."

"…" Davis's eyes shook as his body screamed, 'The Chaotic Genesis Physique…!'

However, his brows frowned. How come Lereza knew of this physique? It couldn't be that she has seen the Grand Chaos Body Art before, right? Wouldn't that incur karmic burden for her?

Still, even if she knew the content somehow, how come she knew the resources required to create that physique? If he wasn't wrong, the pages for the Chaotic Genesis Physique were blank, so how could there be anything to be seen?

'Unless it's hidden using some kind of high-grade soul force encryption technique...'

Just as Davis wondered if it could be as he initially thought, that charming voice resounded again.

"I'm the key to the physique's records. You must triumph over me in battle in order to be able to unlock that part."

"Defeat the guardian of the palace?"

"Precisely."

Lereza's voice became cold, causing Davis to chuckle as he shook his head.

"Lereza, do you honestly think you're a match for me?"

"No. However, you only have ten years to defeat me. Delay any longer, and the pages would no longer reveal themselves."

"…" Davis's expression shook, "Does this time period also considers-"

"Yes!"

Davis closed his eyes. Even the sped-up time in the Nine Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace was useless in the face of this challenge.

His heart was heavy, but the next moment, he opened his eyes, revealing composure.

Although it was extremely difficult, he didn't feel like it was impossible!

From what he could tell, even if Lereza was an Immortal King who could match an Immortal Emperor in prowess, he only needed to reach Mid-Stage Immortal King to be able to defeat her. Such an endeavor shouldn't be too hard for him once he sped up his cultivation here.

With the resources from the Aurora Cloud Gate to help him, he had confidence that he could defeat Lereza in ten years.

"As the master, you deserve a reward for managing to reach a prowess that's ten levels higher. However, you must prove that against a formation that's located in my quarters, so show up later after you're done with your business."

<strong>*Whoosh!~*</strong>

A jade container appeared in front of Davis, causing him to catch it subconsciously. Instantly, he could feel his blood boil with excitement even though the jade container seemed to be completely sealed with seals.

His expression changed as he quickly stored it in his spatial ring and heaved a sigh of relief.

'Lereza, that cheeky girl… she could've given this to me after I tested my might against that formation she mentioned...'

Fortunately, the Blood Essence Orb's aura was concealed, and its appearance wasn't visible as the jade container was also opaque.

With Lereza having taken her to leave, Davis's mind returned to the residence. His soul sense flared, and he surveyed the residence one last time. Noticing two cheeky women waiting for him at the front of the main mansion, he couldn't help but slap his forehead, knowing that he got sidetracked.

"That's right… Sophie and Niera said… I remember. How's Zephya doing? Any changes in her new evolution?"

"Zephya?" Evelynn came out of her reverie, subconsciously answering him, "Well, after becoming a Regal Sky Gale Spirit, she has also managed to catch up to- "

Abruptly, her words stopped at the tip of her tongue, her seductive eyes turning to glare at Davis.

"Oh my… did I just blurt out Fiora's surprise? Husband, why are you this bad? You made me betray one of my sisters..."

Receiving Evelynn's glare, Davis mischievously smiled and chuckled behind his astonished expression.

'The Regal Sky Gale Spirit… ranked first in the Emperor Grade Wind Elemental Charts... and other spirits having neared the top five rankings..."

He didn't even know these changes were accomplished, as only Lereza knew the right resources for their evolution.

Nonetheless, he shook his head and turned to look at Evelynn, his gaze becoming full of pleading.

"I didn't mean to..."

Evelynn still glared at him. The way he chose his words was clear, so how could he not mean to?

"Do you know how eagerly Fiora was expecting to say it to you?"

Evelynn pressed, causing Davis to shake his hands.

"… alright, I apologize. Forgive me, my gracious wife. I just wanted to know so I could gift Mingzhi and Fiora something of relevance in the future."

Only after hearing those words did Evelynn stop glaring, a mischievous smile appearing on her gorgeous face.

"Fine. In exchange, act as though you learned it for the first time when she says it."

"I understand. My Evelynn is the best~"

Davis gave her a quick yet heavy kiss on her cheek, causing her to look satisfied before he took her hand.

They headed back to the main mansion, where people were waiting for them.

But on the way, they met with some workers where they gained some more information about the residence and what it's like to hire workers to manage the island. They heard a bit about the intricacies involved before rewarding those workers with some immortal crystals before leaving.

"Including them, we checked the surroundings, and there isn't anything of concern so far. Let's return fast."

Evelynn urged while Davis gave a firm nod.

"Alright. By the way, what about Shirley's inheritances? Since she had become an immortal, she could've revealed-"

"A secret~"

Evelynn placed a finger on her luscious lips and giggled, this time becoming cautious of his reeling tactics.
