Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2014: Disagreement

Davis went silent for a few seconds, his sapphire eyes appearing even more exhausted as they lost some of their luster. He didnʼt doubt that Myria would lie like this as he could feel her plight and sense of urgency. It was no wonder she decided not to pay much attention to her surroundings, doing whatever she wanted, quickly accumulating power.

Going solo was indeed the best way to get stronger, but Myria having an amicable relationship with the Mystic Ice Sect gradually became a weak point that he could even exploit, which he couldnʼt help but feel that it was ironic, causing him to understand a bit about what kind of person she is.

However, the fact that strong enemies were going to appear soon didnʼt help him much, only causing him to feel immense pressure and distress. However, he did even not possess a shred of hopelessness, but his spirits only rose with momentum.

”Itʼs just two stages. Iʼm sure we can surpass a stage easily, and in doing so, we could-”

”Immortals have nine levels to cross to reach the next stage.” Myria lightly giggled.

It was as though a bucket of cold water was poured on Davis again when he heard Myria interrupting him.

Nine levels and a difference of two stages, meaning a difference of eighteen levels at the very least.

Suddenly, Davis didnʼt know if she should laugh or cry but heard Myria continue.

”The very first level is naturally called the Immortal Foundation Stage. Moreover, thereʼs also the Transcendent Stage of the Transcendent Path that humans have adapted greatly to, far more than the Immortal Path.”

Davisʼs eyes sharply constricted.

Transcendent Path… he was hearing it again. Moreover, the first stage of Immortal Path was called the Immortal Foundation and possessed nine levels?

He felt immensely curious about it, but he wouldnʼt incline from the point at this moment.

”So what if that idiot whoʼs descending is two stages higher? Doesnʼt the laws here forcefully ascends immortals and suppress them if they try to stay? Didnʼt you sense that we were both restricted when our prowess reached five levels above Peak-Level Ninth Stage? If thatʼs the case, wouldnʼt that idiot just be more suppressed?”

Davis recalled that Tian Cangjie should also be at a similar level but didnʼt he get utterly ruined by the master of this world?

Myria narrowed her brows at Davis.

Indeed, she did feel suppressed when her prowess hit the ceiling of this layer. If it were not for that, she was fairly confident that she wouldʼve won. Nonetheless, she also understood that if Davis had used that damned treasureʼs ability to kill her, it would be directly over for her.

She knew the only reason he didnʼt kill her with that damned treasure was for Ellia, and that was why she felt like she had to convince him.

”Of course, thereʼs always the chance that the master of this world could suppress that idiot to death. Or, thereʼs also the chance that the master of this world wouldnʼt do anything about it, the same as us since weʼre both alive even now. In any case, I wonʼt leave my life or Elliaʼs in the hands of others. If you want Ellia, prove yourself worthy of protecting Ellia by giving me that treasure. Iʼll take all the burdens that come with using that treasure, and thatʼs the only way we can cooperate.”

As the one who swallowed defeat, Myria had nothing to capitalize upon, so she could only come up with this weak argument that made Davis purse his lips.

He didnʼt say that his soul had somehow undergone a change after intrinsically fusing with Fallen Heaven. He wondered what she would say if he revealed that taking Fallen Heaven away would possibly result in his death. Would she still ask him the treasure, telling him to die?

A faint sense of curiosity did appear in his heart, but he shook it away.

”Donʼt bother with asking that treasure. My stance remains unchanged. Either you do as I say, or Iʼm going to force you to do as I say.”

”You!” Myriaʼs calm expression faltered into one of anger, ”Why donʼt you understand? Do you not want to live with the people you love? Even if that damned treasure kills me after using it, Iʼll still be revived from having the Eternal Life Soul, but you wonʼt be able to. You have no true master, isnʼt that right?”

Davis raised his brows, deeply looking at her before he nodded.

”That damned treasure is the one you pretend thatʼs your master, no?”

Myria asked, and even Ellia became astonished. She didnʼt have Myriaʼs experience, so she didnʼt consider this possibility at all. However, the both of them shuddered at this mention because that damned treasure didnʼt have a spirit before, meaning in all those years that Myria entered countless reincarnations, that apex treasure had freaking grown a spirit!

That meant the treasure couldʼve only grown stronger, but somehow, it was in this young manʼs hands who had his own story of reincarnation, which they found a bit difficult to believe.

Was this treasure fake? It couldnʼt be. That reincarnation energy she saw Davis use couldnʼt be faked. Was it a lesser variant or a replication? She inwardly shook her head again. Then, what was the master of this world planning to be exact, giving that damned treasure to this young man, even allowing it to pose as his master?

”Is that why you canʼt give it to me?” Myria continued, her lips quivering as she thought of all the possibilities.

Davis pursed his lips.

Even if it werenʼt for the soul fusion, he wouldnʼt give Fallen Heaven away. All his achievements could be attributed to Fallen Heaven, even if some were his own accomplishments. He believed that once Fallen Heaven was stripped away from him, he would be nothing but a floating ant on a leaf in a sea, unable to even shift the trajectory of fate in some other direction.

At that point, even if the dangers he faced were considerably less, he could still be crushed by other people. With Fallen Heaven, he felt more assured of facing risks and dangers. Even he couldnʼt believe it, but this was the trust he possessed in Fallen Heaven. It had undoubtedly helped him many times.

If Fallen Heaven was a person, then it would be the person he felt indebted to the most.

Eventually, Davis shook his head. He sharply stared at Myria and moved his lips, ”You want the treasure for revenge. I want the treasure for unimpeded growth and safety. Many people tried getting this treasure before me and ended up dead, making me the owner. When I end up dead, you can have it. Until otherwise, stay your hand. These are my last words to you about this matter. If you dare to raise it again, Iʼll go all out against you, separating you and Ellia with that damned treasure before finally killing you.”

Myriaʼs brows were narrowed as she looked at his ominous gaze. She felt that he wasnʼt kidding at all. Just as she was about to reply, her consciousness felt disturbed.

”Hmph! Iʼve been silent all this while, but you two go on about killing each other.” Myriaʼs expression changed as she indignantly spoke, ”If this goes on, fine, Iʼll kill myself first so you two can kill each other without reserve.”

”…!?”

Both Davis and Myria were shaken. Myria instantly saw that Ellia was trying to destroy her own consciousness while Davis also figured it out in an instant as indistinct yet destructive soul undulations radiated out of their body similar to what he would feel one self-destructed their dantian.

”Ellia, stop!”

He hurriedly captured Elliaʼs head and planted his finger on her forehead again. Myriaʼs expression changed inwardly as she felt Davisʼs invaded her soul sea but looked at Ellia, who tried to implode her consciousness as she curled into a fetal position, and what Myria did even startled Davis. She somehow borrowed his soul force and struck Elliaʼs consciousness.

Ellia shook in the soul sea and disappeared. Her consciousness collapsed, causing her to faint.

Davis saw this spectacle and relaxed. As long as Ellia didnʼt destroy her soul imprint manifestation, she would survive.

”Take your hands off me.”

Myria slapped Davisʼs hand away and took a few steps back, her pupils contracting while anger was visible on her face. She clenched her teeth so hard that her blood leaked out of her lips before she viciously looked at Davis.

”Fine! Iʼll cooperate with you, but if your inexperienced actions cause Ellia to die in the calamity, I swear Iʼll do everything in my power to revive you and destroy you until your very soul ceases to exist!”

With a flick of her sleeves that was filled with determination, Myria directly collapsed on the ground like a puppet that had its strings cut.

”…”

Davis blinked thrice as he saw her fallen body on the green path of land, only then realizing that this white witch overused her psyche to save Ellia.

He stayed silent for a while, but Myria didnʼt wake up. Abruptly, he couldnʼt help but wonder about her words.

Revive and destroy him? Revive?

”Hiss.”

Davis took a deep breath, ”So itʼs possible…?”

If anyone said it, he wouldnʼt have believed it, but for a person who seemed to have mastered Reincarnation Laws, her words naturally carried immense weight.

As for her threat, he didnʼt bother about it as he would give her the same treatment if Ellia died.

While it was unknown if Myria gave a thought to him and his worries, it was extremely clear that she cared about Ellia, and it was certainly exploitable, but he wasnʼt willing to do such things since he also immensely cared about Ellia. Otherwise, he wouldnʼt be leaving a threat like Myria to remain alive.

However, Ellia certainly did use both of their feelings to force them to come to an agreement by threatening to kill herself.

ʼThat lass... sheʼs like Natalya...ʼ

Davis rubbed his forehead, alleviating some of the pain in his head over Elliaʼs foolish action and some other matters. He didnʼt know if he should thank Ellia for this or berate her. Nonetheless, his soul force had been restored to thirty percent, but that was it. There were no more soul essences left for him to refine, but there were plenty of comprehension clouds now which he could later use on himself and his women.

The soul sea was a boundless space. He couldnʼt describe it as virtual, but he couldnʼt define it as infinite either. Its size depended on the stage, and his soul sea was massive, so it could host many things, even hundreds of magical beasts if he wanted to.

However, he had no plans of hosting so many guests in his soul sea.

”Nadia, pick up Ellia. Letʼs return.”

He thought of picking Ellia up himself, but it would become a problem if Myria suddenly became awake to see his action and misunderstood it. Nadia nodded towards Davis without uttering a word and grabbed Ellia with her lush black tail.

As Davis covered her ears with his soul force, she was unable to hear some parts of what they conversed, but since Davis said that it was dangerous as the heavens would strike her heavily during heavenly tribulation, she didnʼt dare to be playful either.. Before long, they set off, returning to the Alstreim Family Territory.
