Divine Emperor of Death



Davis pursed his lips after he heard Lysan Auraflame's words.

Looks like he couldn't avoid confrontation with one of the most powerful and dangerous Upper Realms in this Galaxy, the Azure Dragon Upper Realm.

From Eiren's memories, including his teammates, he knew that every dragon-ruled Lower Realm worshiped the Azure Dragon Upper Realm as their leader, just like how phoenix-ruled Lower Realms adored the Seven-Colored Phoenix Upper Realm as their leader.

In the Minor Realms and Lower Realms, every dragon's aspiration was to head to the Azure Dragon Upper Realm and become a part of it. This aspiration shouldn't be taken lightly, as it was said the dragons of the Lower Realms made it their first goal upon learning about the cultivation universe, so much so that it is now almost imprinted in their inherited memories.

They literally dream of joining the Azure Dragon Upper Realm for no other reason than to bask in the glory of being a part of it.

After all, it was considered to be the strongest Upper Realm to ever exist in this Galaxy.

Just managing to enter into the Azure Dragon Clan would allow their potential to soar as they would receive valuable resources, but joining it was not easy, especially when one was not an Azure Dragon.

It was said that many dragons died a vain death in the path to entering the Azure Dragon Upper Realm.

"Empyreal Monarchs…"

Fairy Thunderblaze uttered with a wry smile hidden behind her veil. Her words echoed across, causing the disciples who were held prisoners to shiver.

Davis also did not look amused.

If there were any Empyreal Monarchs here, considering his current strength, he would have no choice but to run with his tail between his legs. However, he also felt that their presence would be unlikely as they were considered to be rulers of an Upper Realm.

It was unlikely someone of that stature would be sent to this experimental realm concoction that produced a pill yet destroyed the realm, leaving every single being other than the possible winners dead.

"Looks like the Transcendent Cultivation System has improved a lot…"

Myria also uttered.

Empyreal Monarchs? Such beings didn't exist in her time, or rather, they weren't called something like that, as the Immortal Cultivation System was still prevalent at that time. After all, there were too many flaws in the Transcendent Cultivation System, and the cultivation methods that had fewer flaws were all in the hands of powerful people, strictly kept and preserved yet researched, but it seems like most of those flaws were taken care of in these few million years.

She mused that there must be many, perhaps hundreds and thousands of Transcendent Cultivation Manuals now.

"…?"

Lysan Auraflame didn't know what she meant but continued to speak.

"I'm saying all this because I don't want you people to think I'm leading you into a death trap when I mentioned the pill made from the Lustrous Celestial Fruit harvested from the Ethereal Lumina Tree."

"I understand." Davis sighed.

His Heart Intent found no lies or intentions to deceive. The other party was truly trying to save his life- no, the lives of his fellow disciples.

Davis was impressed, causing him to pull on Bing Luli's icy rope that was wound around Lysan Auraflame with his bare hands. It snapped like a wire that had rusted, causing Bing Luli and Lysan Auraflame to blink.

That easy?

"Many thanks~"

Lysan Auraflame put forth his weight to his legs and stood up, patting his back as he dusted away.

"Although the risk is extremely high, I must say that the benefits are also equally sky-high."

Lysan Auraflame's expression turned solemn, "After all, this pill is called the Celestial Luminescence Pill."

'How the hell should I know what it is!?'

Davis almost screamed but saw him continue.

"Not only is its effectiveness beyond one's dreams, it is also a Spirit-Tier Pill, capable of thought and battle with a prowess that's eight levels above."

"…!?"

Davis's eyes widened in shock, "It had gone through a heavenly tribulation?"

"Indeed."

Lysan Auraflame's face remained solemn as he nodded. Hearing him, the Lea and the others also turned shocked.

Davis and his women turned to look at Tina.

From rank one to rank two pills were known as Crude Tier Pills.

From rank three to rank six pills were known as Normal Tier Pills.

From rank six to rank nine pills were known as Advanced Tier Pills, and the one at the tenth rank was known as a Perfect Tier Pill.

A Perfect Tier Pill already has more than ninety percent efficacy, nearing its limit, but there was a rank further than tenth rank. It was the eleventh-rank pill, titled the Ascended Tier Pill.

An Ascended Tier Pill will go through its Pill Tribulation, which was getting hit by three bolts of lightning, and attain consciousness that is said to be instinctual. It would escape upon birth, giving the alchemist creator a hard time in capturing it.

However, there was an even more ridiculous pill rank, the twelfth rank, Spirit-Tier Pill.

The only pill they knew that had reached the Spirit Tier was Epsila, the Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill, who was in Tina's possession right now.

Without Epsila, their souls wouldn't be as strong as it was now. Even the Reaper Soul Legion received Epsila's grace as she showered them with tons of soul energy that allowed their souls to become extremely powerful.

That was how lasting a Spirit-Tier Pill was. Even without being swallowed like a pill, Epsila gave them huge benefits, so this pill called Celestial Luminescence Pill… they didn't know what to think of it.

Even Myria seemed to be in disbelief as her gaze flickered.

"This is supposed to be a Sovereign Grade Pill, right?"

"I'm not kidding." Lysan Auraflame shook his head, "It is indeed a High-Level Sovereign Grade Pill, its value close to that of an Empyreal Monarch. One who obtains and tames it will increase their cultivation and Law comprehension by leaps and bounds and have an unbeatable companion traversing the mountains and rivers with them, so that is why obtaining this pill is probably the second-most important goal for every disciple of the Upper Realm present here."

"Why would the two Upper Realms give away something like this?" Haiten, the Ghostly Crow Lower Realm's alchemist disciple, looked livid with grief.

Such a pill… he wouldn't be able to obtain or dream of making it in his lifetime as he felt unskilled.

"Beats me. The higher-ups of an Upper Realm should have their own thoughts about this matter."

Lysan Auraflame shrugged, and after handing over the treasure list to Davis, who was still dumbfounded, he asked Bing Luli to untie them.

Bing Luli didn't waste time and released them.

With the icy ropes untied, their cultivations were set free, and they rose like phoenixes arising from the ashes, their expressions full of pride as though they escaped from this situation through their own wits.

"Dalila, can I leave it to you to create a Spirit-Tier Immortal King Grade Pill with your new technique?"

"…!?"

Everyone turned to look at the purple-robed Dalila, wondering what she could do.

But on the other hand, Dalila herself squinted her brows as though she was considering it, causing the others to be stumped.

Indeed, Dalila was considering how she could make a Spirit-Tier Pill when her absolute limit was an Ascended Tier Pill. It was because she created these Ascended Tier Pills using her new technique that Zestria was able to enjoy being basked in heavenly flames.

If everyone knew her thoughts, then their chin might hit the floor.

Nonetheless, with Davis asking her, Dalila was forced to squeeze her wits, trying to think of a way to create Spirit-Tier Pills, but she heard Davis continue.

"I have an idea. Tina and I will also help you."

"Then my answer is yes~"

Dalila smiled sweetly behind her veil, causing the others to be dumbfounded, even leaving Fairy Thunderblaze's eyes twitching.

Didn't these people hear how difficult it was to create a Spirit-Tier Pill, no matter the grade?

Even an Immortal Emperor Alchemist wouldn't be able to create a Spirit-Tier Emperor Grade Pill that was in the mortal realm! In fact, the creation of a Spirit-Tier Pill only got harder as its grade went higher!

Therefore, it was not only her who felt it was ridiculous that these people were talking as though Spirit-Tier Pills could just be made with ideas.
