Divine Emperor of Death



After Davis, there were Myria, Fairy Thunderblaze, Nyoran, Meili, Morro, and Haiten in a clockwise manner. The table was divided in a way such that three sat opposite to three while one was left in the middle, which was taken by Nyoran.

"…"

Nyoran had no idea why she was seated here, but since Davis gestured to her, she had taken a seat without thinking much.

But behind Davis and the others, the two female survivors from the Ice Phoenix Clan glared at the Ghostly Crow Lower Realm's disciples with hatred seeping out their eyes. They couldn't forget their dead brethren, appearing to be aggrieved. However, they didn't say anything to Davis, keeping their lips sealed.

"You invited us inside to our own abode. It isn't just for us to exchange the list, right?"

Morro narrowed his eyes at Davis, causing the latter to smile.

"Indeed. I want to know many things. For example, I'm wondering if there is any chance your seniors or elders would descend to this Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm."

"That is most likely not possible."

Morro appeared to be considered for a moment before he shook his head and answered, his expression turning into one of annoyance, "This bullshit realm pill concoction requires the realm to be sealed, and the Astral Pill Upper Realm and Forgeheart Peak Upper Realm spent billions on building this realm-sized formation to prepare it. There is no way they're going to ruin it by allowing outsiders powerhouses to interfere, not to mention that their reputation is also at stake here."

"Billions…?" Davis raised his brows, "Billions of High-Level Immortal Crystals? Oh- that should be High-Level Transcendent Crystals for you people."

"Indeed, but you're wrong. It required them billions of Peak-Level Transcendent Crystals, resources that only an Empyrean could enjoy. You could see trillions of High-Level Transcendent Crystals being circulated, but not a single Peak-Level Transcendent Crystal will appear in the market as they directly go to the Autarchs. That's how rare it is."

"Autarchs…"

Fairy Thunderblaze uttered with interest, "I assume they're Empyreans?"

Morro nodded, causing Fairy Thunderblaze's lips to curl behind her veil.

Her cultivation manual only went up to the Immortal Emperor Stage. Becoming an Empyrean was impossible for every single one of them unless they could secure a suitable cultivation manual, causing her to wonder if the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin had manuals at that level.

After all, an Immortal Beast's bloodline limit disallowed them to break past the Immortal Emperor Stage unless they could mutate.

Nonetheless, she held an even more curious question in her mind.

"What's the next stage?"

"…"

Morro remained quiet, as though he wouldn't say it even if he was beaten up.

"Forget it. That name holds a significant amount of karmic burden."

Davis appeared nonchalant while Haiten, the alchemist, nodded.

"Exactly. There's a steep gap between the Sovereign Stage and the Autarch Stage, and each level in that stage is extremely harder to surpass. Even the lily you obtained from is not something that would allow one to enter the Autarch Stage, so how about giving it back to us for a price?"

"Not happening."

Davis waved his hand, causing Haiten to wryly smile.

Shortly after some more discussion about the general locations of the other groups they knew about, Davis exchanged the treasure list with them.

Morro's gaze lit up as she looked at the Crimson Pathflame Lower Realm's treasure list.

There were indeed darkness-attributed treasures listed, allowing them to be capable of hunting them.

On the other hand, Davis's eyes shone as well as he came across some interesting finds as well.

However, the Astral Forgeheart Minor Realm was so big. Their treasure list didn't even cover twenty percent of the realm, causing Davis to want to go hunt for the others and gain their treasure list so as to have more options.

Regardless, he was satisfied at the moment as he had some eyes on a few treasures that should help him comprehend Space Laws and Time Laws.

As a destined vagabond, Davis felt like he shouldn't miss out on these Laws, or otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to traverse the universe in the future. However, he also had some treasures marked to help him substantially increase his cultivation. They were of the lightning attribute, wind attribute, and fire attribute, separate or any two combined.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find all three in one, residing in a harmonious state.

Nonetheless, if he could enter the peak of the Immortal King Stage, then he was confident that no one could stop him.

However, the talks weren't over yet.

Davis learned that they harvested the Seven-Colored Rainbow Lily from a Peak-Level Immortal King Feral Beast, leaving them speechless.

These Ghostly Crows were truly capable of concealing as they seemed to have stolen the treasure when it was away for a few minutes.

He also got to confirm a few more information about strong opponents that he should apparently stay clear from. However, Morro's solemn words were only met with a chuckle from Davis.

Morro didn't know what was driving this Level Seven Immortal King to be so confident other than his life-extinguishing death energy that was like the most potent and deadly poison he had ever seen. He also considered Davis's unruly confidence was perhaps due to the powerful women around him, but his instincts also said that this person didn't care if they were beside him or not for his protection.

He had been wary of his death-attributed scythe and that mysterious wolf he had never seen before, but he was starting to think that this person possessed hidden strength that allowed him to remain the leader of the group.

"What else do you have to offer?"

Davis asked, appearing quite satisfied with the exchange.

"We have been here for some time, and we have killed people from other Minor Realms and obtained their treasure list. However, if you want to obtain them, then you have to bring out something of value."

Morro replied, causing Davis to blink.

If he had known about this matter before, he would've taken it too, but it was a pity that he missed that they had an extra bargaining chip.

"Oh? Whose abode is this? Are they asking for me to destroy it in a single move, or is this a trap?"

A curious voice echoed from the outside, causing both parties to blink before they stepped out of the palace.

Looking at the newcomers, Davis's expression fell.

Their crimson clothes embroidered in phoenix patterns couldn't make it any clearer for him.

"Fire Phoenix Lower Realm…"

Morro uttered, turning solemn as he knew that the Golden Crow Lower Realm was at war with the Fire Phoenix Lower Realm.

"A Fire Phoenix..."

But on the other hand, the group of disciples from the Fire Phoenix Lower Realm were stunned as they saw Xerna Zenflame, their eyes blinking in shock as they didn't expect to find one of their kind here.
