Divine Emperor of Death

The woman threw the half-finished alcohol bottle at the male figure whom she called Tian Long but it seemed to vanish, however, she didnʼt notice since she staggered and almost fell.

She somehow regained her bearings and looked at the male figure once again, her eyes emitting a strange light.

”T-Tian Long... look at how I am... Arenʼt I a mess?”

The woman took a step forward and staggered as she fell into the embrace of the male figure, her eyes emitting a haziness that was capable of seducing any mortal man without enough willpower.

”Tian Long, Iʼm l-lonely...” She whispered, her breath full of sexual tension and stinky from the alcohol.

The male figure didnʼt seem to do anything but supported her from falling to the ground.

”Hug me...” The woman repeated and placed her face on his chest.

Feeling the immense warmth that she once hoped to feel, she moved her lips in a trance, ”Comfort me...”

However, nothing happened even after a while.

It was like her words fell on deaf ears, making her feel no sense of accomplishment as her consciousness faded into the darkness.

”She fainted...”

The male figure that held the woman uttered a few words for the first time, validating that his existence in reality.

Another woman who wore royal robes and a veil mysteriously appeared in the room and looked at the figure in her male figureʼs arms.

”Is she your woman in your previous life, brother?”The robe-clad woman questioned with a frown on her face.

The male figure shook his head with a smirk, ”I killed her father, say, you think she is my previous lifeʼs woman?”

These two were none other than Davis and Clara.

Clara opened her mouth for a second as she turned speechless but then replied, ”If you had chosen to hide that fact, yes...”

Davis laughed, ”I didnʼt have any wives nor had a physical relationship with any woman for that matter.”

Clara blinked her eyes to her brotherʼs statement. She didnʼt see his eyes dilate from hypnotizing himself so could that mean that her brother really told the truth?

”Then why have we come to see her?”

Davis paused for a few seconds.

This was a truly difficult question to answer. Should he explain that he could see some really intense Karma Thread connecting him and her?

In the first place, he wondered why there was a strong yet comforting intent coming from that thread and had approached to check.

Never did he imagined it to be connected it with this girl who actually grew up to be a fine yet messed up woman.

He sighed and spoke, ”Well, she and I were nothing but the victims of a generations-long family feud and I merely put an end to that cycle of hatred.”

Davis then proceeded to explain about his past, the event that took place when he got kidnapped by this womanʼs father; Mo Wuming, also known as Twizer.

After hearing about Davisʼs past, Clara narrowed her eyes in fury, ”I donʼt understand why brother is sympathizing with your enemyʼs daughter like this...”

She couldnʼt help but feel anger in place of her brother.

”There are many reasons...” Davis just chuckled.

One of the many reasons he had was this woman was the one who was solely responsible for him not becoming the man he hated the most.

At that time, when he was on the verge of being crazed, this woman curbed him from falling to the abyss.

======

Midnight.

Davis and Clara flew in the air as they headed east, and took a turn slightly to the south.

”Where are we going, brother?”

”A place called Dragonʼs Triangle... Itʼs one of the suspicious places I wanted to investigate.” Davis promptly replied to Clara.

”Are there some treasures?”

Davis shook his head, ”I donʼt know... For all I know, it can be dangerous so why donʼt you stay here for a while I go check out...”

Clara blinked, ”No, Iʼm going as long as brother is going.”

Davis paused but then nodded his head, ”Alright...”

Soon, in a few minutes, the skies changed and the seas were raging. Thunder echoed and lighting shot at the surface of the sea while whirlwinds and typhoons were spinning at a fearsome speed.

If any civilian or navy ships were to cross this part of the sea, thereʼs more than a ninety percent chance for them to end up in tatters and lost.

In the raging skies above the Dragonʼs Triangle, Davis and Clara floated as they stared at the threatening yet inspiring scenery.

”This is the place where my Soul Sense canʼt enter; penetrate...” Davis spoke as he looked towards the front, however, his tone held a slight amount of disbelief.

His Mature Soul Stage Soul Sense was unable to penetrate this place? He couldnʼt understand what exactly hid in this place.

He cast a glance at Clara and asked, ”How about you, Clara?”

Clara shook her head, ”My Soul Sense canʼt penetrate this invisible border as well...”

Davis narrowed his eyes in deep thought. However, he nodded and spoke, ”Let us enter then...”

Davis floated forwards and Clara followed behind, their heartbeats quite stable despite the eerie yet noisy surroundings.

When Davis touched the border of the place where his Soul Sense couldnʼt enter, his finger was suddenly pushed back.

Davis was stunned as Clara also stopped in her tracks.

”What the...” Davis looked at the empty space in front of him, bewildered what exactly managed to push him back.

Was it an unknown formation?

Although he was pushed back, he had not incurred an injury to his body nor his soul. To validate that he had not received any damage, he even used one of those opportunities to ask Fallen Heaven to which it said nothing happened.

His heart turned relaxed.

Feeling curious, he tried to pass through that invisible space but he was again pushed back.

Davis could only let out a helpless sigh. He was made powerless the exact moment he came in contact with the invisible space, rendering him incapable of even using his energy.

”Let me try brother!”

Came an echo which startled Davis. He looked at Clara and asked, ”Are you sure?”

Clara nodded her head while determination shone in her eyes.

Davis pondered over the dangers.

ʼCould it be that mysterious entity knows that Iʼm here and rejects me so I can never find out some truths that Iʼve been looking for?ʼ

ʼMaybe Clara could enter since Iʼm being rejected by the mysterious entity...ʼ

ʼIf so, if Clara can really enter, then doesnʼt that mean Iʼve fallen for that mysterious entityʼs trap?ʼ Davisʼs eyes widened when he thought it like this.

Just when he was about to not let her near that invisible space, Clara had already closed the distance without even stopping to reconsider.

”Clara, stop!”

Davisʼs heart froze but then he heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, reality proved to him that he had just been overcautious.

Just like him, she was also pushed back from that invisible space.

”Brother, I donʼt even know how I was pushed back...” Clara spoke in a bewildered tone as she floated back. Her cautiousness towards mysterious space in front of her increased to a widening degree.

It was like she was made weightless and then pushed back as if she was nothing. This spatial border even made her slightly uncomfortable.

”This is strange... Many ships and planes carrying passengers have passed through this border but we cannot take a step in? Does this mean only mortals could take a step inside this invisible border?” Davis pondered as he spoke.

Even though many of those mortals went missing according to the knowledge he had, they were still able to pass through.
