Divine Emperor of Death



Davis and Sophie walked out of their room while she had her hands wrapped around his arm. The both of them smiled with satisfaction, appearing content. Particularly, Sophie was delighted beyond compare as she got to spend time with him even in this adventure that seemed quite hopeless at the end, allowing her to remember the time when she first kissed him when she thought she was going to die in a lightning rainstorm.

It filled her with wonderful emotions that she was completely smitten with Davis at the moment.

"Can we do it again?"

"Anytime."

Davis patted Sophie's head, causing her to cutely dance as she held him. He laughed before walking with her to the pill experts.

Once they were inside the hall, Sophie hopped away as she seemed like she had some work to do, leaving him with Tina and Dalila.

Tina noticed Sophie leaving, a knowing smile disappearing from her face as she turned to look at Davis.

"You're right on time."

Davis nodded as he came forward and looked at their progress.

The cauldron was rumbling at this moment, appearing almost about to condense a pill.

Dalila was floating beside Tyriele, the Profound Tyrant Veined Cauldron. Although Tyriele's lid was sealed, the concoction was going on inside her cauldron space, which was vast, unlike the actual space that it covered. A thousand-meter-long and wide material could become as small as a fist inside it.

Right now, the cauldron held so many refined ingredients inside it, although all of them were mixed and were condensing into a pill right now with the deliberate movements of Dalila. Her lithe fingers traced intricate patterns in the air above the cauldron, the liquid essence inside condensing in accordance with her control.

*Clap~*

Holding her hands, she performed a final gesture, causing the cauldron's rumbling to reach a crescendo.

*Bang!~*

Dalila slapped the lid, forcing it down as the surroundings became bathed in a brilliant, bluish light that spilled from the cauldron's depths. The light dances and shimmers, casting intricate patterns to radiate across the stone walls and filling the chamber with an ethereal glow.

A few seconds later, the rumbling of the cauldron subsided, replaced by a sense of serene stillness, as if the concoction came to an end, its fate unknown unless the lid was opened or Tyriele announced the verdict.

Regardless, Dalila reached out her hand, waving it when her soul force slapped open the lid, causing a potent aura to erupt as it filled the chamber. It wasn't long before a pill flew out of the cauldron and flew into Dalila's embrace.

But of course, the pill didn't try to escape, which meant that it wasn't an Ascended-Tier Pill that would have consciousness upon birth. Instead, it could be a Perfect-Tier Pill or one of lower grades.

Davis didn't know what it was, waiting for Dalila to announce it.

Dalila held the cerulean pill between her fingers, although her fingers weren't even touching it.

The light from the pill refracted through its crystalline surface, casting prismatic hues across the chamber. It was without blemish, causing her lips to curl in satisfaction.

"The Soulforge Elevation Resonance Pill is successfully concocted, and it is of Perfect-Tier without a doubt."

"Perfect indeed."

Davis appeared before Dalila and caressed her head, "Well done, Dalila."

"Feel free to praise me more~"

She giggled, "But don't forget Tina as well."

"I know."

Davis nodded while Tina also appeared beside them, opening her mouth with a wide smile.

"This pill is easy for us to concoct since it's only at Peak-Level Immortal King Grade, but since you wanted a Perfect-Tier Pill, it almost took an entire day. If not, it would've been done in half a day or less."

"No worries."

Davis waved his hand, collecting the pill from Dalila as he kept it in a small, ornate box, sealing it with intricate runes before tucking it away in his sleeves.

He already knew this pill's effects as it was one of the most sought-after pills in the Immortal King Stage as it allowed similar effects of a pill he very much knew and nurtured.

"Epsila, come out."

Davis gestured towards Tina, causing her to let out a cerulean pill to appear in the air around them as she excitedly danced around, flying around them.

"Ooh~ It's master. It's been a long time, but I have completed all the tasks you have given me. What more is left?"

Epsila's childish voice echoed out, causing Davis's gaze to soften.

This Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill at the Peak-Level Emperor Grade sure did grow a fine consciousness that was now fully aware and cognizant, even recognizing her role in his family as a pill who nurtures the younger generation due to her powers that grants an Emperor Sigil, if not, a King Sigil at the very least along with a huge increase in the amount of soul force one could store.

"Epsila, are you satisfied?"

The cerulean pill stopped dancing suddenly before it appeared before Davis's face.

"What does master mean?"

"I meant to ask if you are content at your current level."

"…"

The cerulean pill slightly lost its glow as though it was at a loss before it answered.

"It's lamentable seeing everyone leave me behind, but as long as master requires my power, I will not hesitate to help. This life has been given by you, so it will be spent for you~"

"…"

This time, Davis was silent.

He regretted not conversing with Epsila way earlier, not knowing she thought of him in this manner. If he did, he would've formulated this plan sooner.

'Back then, Myria said that it was impossible, no- she didn't say if it was possible or not but indicated that I shouldn't get attached to Epsila because her grade would be limited as she couldn't cultivate. However, what about saving her spirit just as one can save an armament spirit? I have the knowledge to save an armament spirit after I learned it from Ellia, so why can't I apply a similar technique on Epsila?'

Davis wondered as though telling himself to be confident before opening his mouth.

"In a few seconds, I will melt you but protect your spirituality, allowing you to possess this pill of a similar nature-"

"What!?"

Epsila echoed in shock as she focused her senses on the jade container he held but heard him continue.

"-and allow you to undergo Heavenly Tribulation as you once did. I speculate that experiencing it would allow you to better suit your new body as the tribulation would indeed try to destroy your consciousness, but don't worry. Like the last time, I will be there while Tina, Dalila, and Tyriele will do their best to save you."

"So what do you say? Are you willing to accompany us for an eternity by risking your life?"
