Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2200: Nine-Treasured Lmmortal Ordeal Palace

”Who… are you?”

Davis instantly went cautious as he saw the pink-robed fairy sitting on top of a white cloud. Her sharp yet bright eyes, chiseled nose, and fleshly lips exuded an immense charm, even while she wore a pink veil, not to mention that her curves also appeared bountiful, practically heaving as the cloud slightly swayed every second.

Moreover, she had a dragon horn that twisted to the back of her head. Her lips curved into a smile, although it looked as though it was forced.

”Once again, welcome to the Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace. Iʼm this constructʼs spirit, Lereza. Iʼm… pleased to make your acquaintance, ma- whatever.”

”…”

Davis blinked, his rapidly beating heart calming its pounding as he heard that it was this palaceʼs spirit. For a moment, he thought it was the world master, causing his scalp to turn numb.

*Rumble!~*

However, his scalp did turn numb as the entire palace began shaking like it was going to self-destruct, causing him to want to leave right now.

Just when he eyed the Chaos Essence Orb and the Grand Chaos Body Art and was looking for the right opportune moment to sidestep the spirit, the trembling suddenly stopped, causing him to narrow his eyes as he stared at the palace spirit.

”You broke the imitation formation?” His lips moved with disbelief.

Lereza turned to look at her finger daintily as she brought it to her face, giggling ever so lightly.

ᴘ ᴀɴ ᴅᴀ-ɴᴏᴠ ᴇʟ, ᴄ,ᴏ,ᴍ ”This kind of formation should never see the light of the day, or you know what would happen.”

ʼWhat would happen!?ʼ

Although Davis could guess that it would probably incur the wrath of the heavens, he wanted to know the exact answer so badly but didnʼt want to come off as half-ignorant to this spirit that already seemed to be biased against him, refusing to call him master for some reason.

But after being done with giggling like a little girl, the voluptuous spirit spoke again.

”These treasures and the palace belong to you.”

She lifted her hands and sent a token to him, which became clear that it was a controlling core of this so-called Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace that had its name changed from the one introduced.

”Moreover, the Temporal Speeding Formation using Spacetime Laws is available for use as well, although the energy required for it is just as humongous as your usage. Use it well on your cultivation path, and make sure you benefit the one who made all of this possible. However, if you need me for something, donʼt call me. I havenʼt approved of you yet.”

”What? Wait…”

Davis quickly spoke, wanting to ask so many questions. However, the spirit abruptly seemed to have a bland expression on her face, seemingly looking away.

”Wait? I had been waiting for a long time. Quite ironic, I must say.”

Davis followed her gaze and saw that she was glancing at Myria, who still seemed to have her head lowered.

ʼSo this treasure palace was really meant for her...ʼ

Davis didnʼt know what to feel about this matter, but it was not important at the moment since they fought fairly.

ʼOr was it fair when my imitation was disadvantaged with unable to retain my heavenly physique?ʼ

But inwardly, he shook his head, knowing that plundering from the heavens and creating his own physique had to do with his own daringness rather than having it called unfairness or having that achievement negated just because he had Fallen Heavenʼs aid in allowing him to refine heavenly lightning and heavenly flames.

In the end, he had to face the karmic burden for it, after all, so he felt that this was still fair, and this formation being unable to recreate his heavenly physique, was the advantage he gained for himself.

Nonetheless, he truly wanted to talk to this palace spirit. After all, this spirit obviously knew about Fallen Heaven that he felt even the slightest information was valuable. Moreover, he wanted to also ask what the world masterʼs intentions were, and although he knew that he would not likely receive an answer, he had still wanted to try.ᴘ ᴀꪁⅆ a ɴꪫꪚeʟ

But before he could even turn around and open his mouth, the spirit faded away like it was never there.

His lips hung agape before he closed them, looking at the golden token that was still floating in front of him.

However, he couldnʼt help but hesitate.

After all, should he really be using or housing his people in something that the world master made? Judging by this non-cooperative spiritʼs attitude, it was most likely loyal to the world master and would betray him at a momentʼs notice, perhaps trapping him or his people.

Even if this Nine-Treasured immortal Ordeal Palace was extremely strong and durable, he really didnʼt have the urge to tie it to him but instead had the urge to run away as soon as possible.

However, its benefits, such as speeding up time remained deeply attractive.

Myria had mentioned that this palace was encased in a Spacetime Formation, sounding obvious to the fusion of Space and Time. If it wasnʼt clear enough for him before, he now understood that to speed time or perhaps even slow down time in an enclosed space, Space was also a major player.

Basically, time is a construct that is perceived through light falling on Earth from the Sun, but in truth, there was only one single time for everyone in the cosmos, but it still kept its ultimate property of being relative, being able to change the flow of time for a few entities at a particular point in space, although temporarily.

This was the enlightenment he had in the Alternating Time Flow Valley and consequently reached Level One Intent in Time Laws. However, for Time to move, space needed to exist, and space was ever-present, just like Time. However, the space itself needed to accommodate the change in time. Otherwise, misconstrues would occur in nature, causing imbalance to emerge in the cosmos as one particular area couldnʼt stay in a different time but constantly move at a different rate, just like the Alternating Time Flow Valley.

From this, he understood that temporarily changing time was what Time Laws enforced. Even if he slowed down time during a battle or hastened it, it really wouldnʼt affect his own lifespan or the enemies, but to affect them at a deeper level, Space Laws needed to be included.

ʼIn other words, time can be hastened or slowed in a battle using Time Laws, which makes it advantageous for the user to react as it mostly affects the perception, but for it really affect reality on a deeper scale, there needs to be a fusion with space, which makes it so Spacetime Laws is required.ʼ

Comprehending these insights, which made him feel as though he was about to break through to the next intent in Space Laws and Time Laws, Davis was in awe, although he couldnʼt help but wryly smile.

ʼAre you an ally or the end boss?ʼ

Chaos and Spacetime Laws, not to mention Five Element Laws…

Who the actual fuck was he dealing with?

Perhaps, this palace was just something that the world master had hired or threatened a few masters to construct. He couldnʼt help but console himself.

Nonetheless, looking at the golden token and the palace that would come into his control, especially the Spacetime Formation, he couldnʼt help but feel like taking the risk, if only it didnʼt pose a threat to his family.

ʼThen Iʼll just designate this palace as a training palace instead...ʼ

He reached out his hand and grasped the golden token, his soul making contact with it as his strand pierced into it. As he sacrificed a bit of his soul essence to form a connection, he could quickly feel a sense of ownership to this palace as well as the spiritʼs location, but there was a kind of wall that made him feel like he could not summon her. Nevertheless, he concentrated on the few sentences of information that popped into his mind.

”…!”

Davisʼs smile became more prevalent because it seemed that this Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace seemed to be an Immortal King Grade Construct! Moreover, the nine floors had formations that emulated the immortal treasures, meaning that as long as he could obtain an essence orb, it would be able to emulate the environment of that treasure and allow them to make twice the progress with half the effort added on top of having the essence itself!

However…

ʼImmortal Crystals…?ʼ

It seemed like attributed amalgamations of heaven and earth energy were also accepted in these formations, but they were no longer Spirit Stones but were called Immortal Crystals, also the currency in the immortal world on top of Spirit Stones.

Davis pursed his lips, wondering if Isabella and Shirley possessed Immortal Crystals in their inheritances. Due to their lack of knowledge, they mightʼve missed it, or perhaps, it was tightly enclosed so as to not lose their energy and purity.

He couldnʼt help but wonder as he turned to look at Evelynn and the others but saw that they were still shocked over what had happened.
