Divine Emperor of Death

The moment the sharp scalpel took form, it sent alarms of danger to Davis's mind, making him unable to move the scalpel towards his soul essence. His soul sea reverberated, instinctively warning him of the enormous threat!

"..."

Davis grit his teeth. He tried to move the scalpel again but it was to no avail.

He then relaxed his posture as he rather felt exasperated.

Meddling with Soul Essence is perhaps the worst kind of decision he could ever take in his current state. Unlike Blood Essence which can be condensed by sacrificing vitality and condensing blood, Soul Essences weren't something that a cultivator can sacrifice just because they wanted to do so.

One must possess a relevant yet gentle technique or go full Sparta and sever it from one's Soul Sea. Davis was precisely trying the latter since he had no techniques to divide his Soul Essence gently.

Even if he did happen to possess a gentle technique capable of dividing the Soul Essence, the consequences of splitting Soul Essence is inevitable except that the backlash might become mild when compared with severing it.

The only plus point of this Solitary Soul Technique is that it is stated that the avatar would constantly nourish the original's Soul Essence, making Davis gradually recover 30% of his Soul Essence.

'My own instincts are curbing me from harming my Soul Essence. I just want to sever thirty percent of my soul essence but my soul is reacting rather cautiously... just like me' Davis wryly thought as he laughed at himself.

*Whoosh!~*

Abruptly, his eyes narrowed into two tiny slits and the scalpel that was in his soul sea spontaneously neared the Soul Essence and severed it!

*Bzz!~*

The scalpel formed a triangular-shaped cut!

The spherical shaped soul essence in his Soul Sea had a part of it cut into a small triangular-shaped soul essence, reshaping and separating thirty percent of his soul essence.

At this moment, Davis fiercely trembled as if every cell of his body simultaneously experienced seizure! His eyes turned bloodshot as immense pain encroached his soul, threatening to collapse his consciousness!

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth while he endured the extreme pain reveling in his soul as it made his heart palpitate in shock. He was clenching his teeth extremely hard that blood started to flow out of his mouth.

His concentration only lapsed for a moment before he started to circulate the Solitary Soul Avatar Technique with his soul force. His soul force gradually started to take shape as a tiny spherical shaped vessel-like structure formed from the amalgamation of the technique.

At just a glance, it only looked as if it was a shell but the tiny particles over the surface layer and its insides had numerous patterns that resonated with heaven and earth energy. It gave off a feeling as if it could host a new life, like how a mother's womb was capable of giving birth to a child.

Davis didn't tarry anymore and quickly poured the severed triangular-shaped soul essence into the vessel of the Solitary Soul Avatar Technique.

He created the vessel only after severing his soul essence because the technique used 70% of his entire soul force capacity. Besides creating it only once in a day, the vessel would quickly disappear in a few moments.

The records had this warning, so he was rather careful and cautious even though he quickly decided to create an avatar!

Davis didn't want to take the risk, hence, he opted to use the avatar technique after he severed his soul essence even though there was the risk of the technique failing due to the pain.

But Davis was rather hardcore when it comes to training his soul, and perhaps the last experience he had in exhausting his soul force completely by concocting the Soul Emergence Pill played an important role in this endeavor, making him realize the Solitary Soul Avatar Technique into fruition even though he felt enormously exhausted than at that time.

As if creating a new life, the spherical-shaped vessel displayed varying changes and glowed for almost thirty seconds. Then it suddenly stopped giving out resplendent light, giving out vague undulations of soul force.

At this point, Davis was covered in sweat and his healthy gums beside his teeth were bleeding, flowing down his chin and staining his robes. The severed soul essence still made him experience excruciating pain.

Those thirty seconds felt like an hour to him! But he didn't dare lose consciousness or concentration!

The spherical shaped vessel suddenly started to morph. It began to take shape, sprouting a head with two eyes, nose and lips. Its neck extended out above while four limbs protruded out from the sides.

Then the spherical shaped vessel which was no longer spherical gradually diminished before it turned into a complete, small and transparent human figure, hovering in his Soul Sea.

'Success!'

Davis inwardly celebrated but he then suddenly jerked from the unending pain. He tried to hold down the pain but involuntarily let out a low grunt.

At the same time, Evelynn entered the room while holding a tray filled with sumptuous food, giving off a rather tantalizing aroma that would make a person salivate till their drools start to flow out of their mouth.

*Clang!~*

Fried Shrimp Meat, Smoked Bear Meat and all other kinds of dishes fell over the floor while the soup made of Tiger's Bones splattered over to her feet.

Evelynn had dropped the tray on the surface as the smile on her face faded as her entire body froze. It was only after a second of incomprehension did her expression turn aghast and realized that she heard the windows on the walls slightly clatter.

"Who!?"

Evelynn pointed her hand at the window and a green gaseous substance instantly shot towards the windows from her finger.

The thick green gas was like a venomous serpent, extremely flexible and slithered its way towards the windows as it exploded into a rather comical poof.

However, the green gaseous substance spread over to the windows and the air outside. It instantly filled the space behind the window and spread over to the sides as it extended outwards!

Evelynn's eyes turned moist as her facial expression converted one of extreme anger. She took a step forward as a gold battle aura entrenched her entire being, making her look like a war maiden who was out for revenge!

"Stop!" Davis shouted as his eyes flickered.

Evelynn trembled. The next moment, the greenish gas stopped spreading as she retracted her undulations.

"Retract your poison..." Davis said as he stood up. He was still finding it difficult to even keep his eyes open as he felt enormously dizzy from the backlash of severing his Soul Essence.

The pain he experienced instead threatened to overwhelm him but at the same time, kept him awake. Even while feeling all this, he still stood up without collapsing. He felt the world heavily spin but he felt that there was a more important matter to attend to!

Evelynn had poisoned a person!!!

At first, when he experienced the backlash, he also simultaneously thought that a somewhat strong wind had hit the windows and made it clatter but then he felt a presence with his physical sense.

Likely, Evelynn felt the same with her physical sense since she was already at the Gold Stage.

Withstanding the pain, he instantly took the effort to spread over his soul sense despite the pain stemming from his soul and saw that it was none other than Lucas!
