Divine Emperor of Death

Davis blinked and saw Nadia appear beside him from the shadows, standing with her four paws floating above the ground with a dark hue below. She looked as hideous as a beast from a nightmare yet as elegant as a beautiful fox.

The two Peak-Level Saint Beast Stage Three-Winged Venomous Lizards suddenly stopped their actions, viewing Nadia in alarm.

A Peak-Level Saint Beast Stage Magical Beast had intruded their territory! Not only was it a Peak-Level Saint Beast Magical Beast but this Magical Beast was basically an unknown existence to them. They didnʼt know about any of its attacks, nor did they know how it managed to elude their senses and appear right in front of their sight!

They screeched in alarm as they warned Nadia but the latter seemed to pay no heed.

”Whereʼs Evelynn?” Davis frowned and sent his Soul Sense towards the back.

”Sheʼs safe with me...” Nadia replied without changing her expression.

Davis frowned heavily becoming disappointed with Nadia but when his Soul Sense reached Evelynn, he became shocked!

There was another Nadia mounted by Evelynn! They were safely in the rear!

And then, he belatedly noticed the difference!

He turned his head and looked at Nadia who only had a single tail rather the two tails she possessed.

”Dark Tail Doppelganger...” Nadia uttered in a calm tone as her muzzle moved, ”The species ability of the Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf.”

ʼC-Cool...ʼ

Davis became speechless and mused in a deep analysis, ʼNo wonder itʼs called Twin-Tailed rather than Two-Tailed... Is this like an avatar, a flesh one at that?ʼ

He felt that Nadiaʼs tail could perhaps be even used as a main or supplementary ingredient to create a flesh-based avatar, however, avatar techniques werenʼt even heard off, and the Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf remained widely unknown to this cultivation world.

If Avatar Techniques widely existed in the First Layer, then it is also possible that the Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf species could become extinct as they would be hunted on a large scale.

Feeling complicated, he turned his head towards the Three-Winged Venomous Lizards and wondered what kind of species ability they possessed. He didnʼt get to experience it as he killed that Low-Level Saint Beast Stage Three-Winged Venomous Lizard before it could even counterattack.

”Be careful... The Three-Winged Venomous Lizardʼs species ability is to sacrifice their wing on their spine to launch an enormous venomous gas that could even threaten Lord Beast Stage Magical Beasts and make them paralyzed.”

Nadia warned Davis.

”Also, didnʼt you get scratched by that Low-Level Saint Beast Stage Three-Winged Venomous Lizardʼs Horn? Although the poison that entered your body should be relatively low, it is best if you cure or remove the poison from your body...”

”Humans are weak to poisonous attacks than Magical Beasts...”

”Thanks for the warning...” Davisʼs eyes lit up in appreciation.

He could feel Nadiaʼs sincerity to be of usefulness. Besides, it seems that she likes to observe a lot in silence and arrive at her own answers or conclusion as far as he could tell.

ʼNadia is such a unique Magical Beast Iʼve encountered... Or is it her instincts as a wolf that allows her to calmly observe and wait for the right opportunity to make a move?ʼ

Davis mused as he lifted his arm and checked the scratched location of the fist. He smiled and shook his head. He knew before that he was poisoned and even purposefully let it affect him, however, looking at it now, it still hadnʼt made much progress in afflicting him.

His blood that was tinged with two drops of Earth Dragon Immortalʼs Blood Essence was rather on a different level. It made it difficult for the poison to invade from a light external injury and could even passively suppress the poison from spreading.

The little poison that was equal in level to his current Body Tempering Cultivation, failed to do anything significant. He ran his martial energy and towards his fist and cleared the poison out of his system.

The domineering effect of the Domineering Earth Dragon Arts instantly erased the poison as if it were blowing a candle out!

Davis even felt as if a silent *poof* went inside his fist.

He smiled as he looked at the two Peak-Level Saint Beast Stage Three-Winged Venomous Lizards who stood still and yet to make a move.

He wondered why and initially thought it was because of Nadiaʼs arrival but then smiled widely in realization.

They were being... surrounded.

Surrounded within all sides. Even Evelynn was included in their perimeter but he perceived that they still hadnʼt found her yet. He imagined that they would never find her, not with Nadiaʼs abnormal ability to hide in the shadows.

”You take care of the other Peak-Level Saint Beast Stage Three-Winged Venomous Lizard. As for the remaining Three-Winged Venomous Lizards, leave them to me even if they attack me...”

”Yes!” Nadia echoed and instantly jumped into the shadows as her nine-meter tall figure disappeared!

With the foggy atmosphere further entrenching their view, it became difficult to even find Nadia. The Three-Winged Venomous Lizards all went into a state of alert at the new enemy as they engaged in long-range venomous blasts against the human.

Davis dodged the corrosive volley of viscous liquids and made his way to the female incumbent leader of the Three-Winged Venomous Lizard Clan. The distance between them was half a kilometers long but he covered it in two little seconds while dodging the corrosive liquids that failed to catch him and created small craters on the ground!

However, Davis widened his eyes as he suddenly pushed his body towards the rear!

A huge cloud of venomous haze almost overwhelmed him!

He forcefully stopped himself and flew back but at this time, four corrosive viscous liquids hit him at this thigh, ankle, and both his arms. The locations in his body that were affected started to corrode! His skin started to peel off as if hydrochloric acid was poured on his body!

*Tch~*

Davis flew away towards the back and blinding light erupted from his soul, covering the wounded places on his body.

Sacred Soul Healing!

It started to heal good wounds but at the same time, he invoked Fallen Heavenʼs energy and spread it all over his eroded skin and flesh.

The Sacred Soul Healing ability slowly healed his flesh, however, the death-like energy of Fallen Heaven instantly removed the corrosive properties of the liquid.

He manually made the light and dark-like energy not interfere with each other and this increased the rate of healing of the Sacred Soul Healing Technique.

Davisʼs eyes flashed with a solemn light. He stopped only using his Body Tempering Cultivation to battle anymore and invoked his Soul Forging Cultivation to heal.

Clearly, even if he was able to battle the female Three-Winged Venomous Lizard with just his Body Tempering Cultivation, he couldnʼt challenge an entire clan with it.

He challenged the female Three-Winged Venomous Lizard, but she didnʼt want to fight him one-on-one, hence, he decided to test his Body Tempering Cultivationʼs prowess afterward when he is able to freely battle without interference.

Soul force instantly spread around him, temporarily forming a soul barrier over his body on top of the martial energy that was already present.

Now, his body possessed a two-layered defense!

He swept the ground with his feet and launched himself towards the nearest Three-Winged Venomous Lizard he could find and punched it with all his might.

ʼEarth Dragonʼs Destructive Fist!ʼ

*Boom!~*

A claw swept over him but it failed to completely break his defense! Instead, the Low-Level Saint Beast Stage Three-Winged Venomous Lizardʼs head exploded into meat paste!
