Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4773  Going Back To The Fortress

With their heat dying down minutes after they passionately exchanged saliva, the two separated, feeling all hot. They both knew if they continued, their clothes would come off.

Fairy Thunderblaze took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

These new emotions flooding her soul made her feel completely different. She knew she had embarrassed herself, breaking her image in front of him a few times, but she couldnʼt make a stern face either, finding herself caught between a rock and a hard place, especially after she knew for a fact that she was his and there was no changing it at the moment.

Composing herself, she turned around and asked, ”This place is dangerous. Considering weʼre near a chasm, are you cornered, or is this the place where the path to the True Immortal World lies?”

ʼSheʼs as smart as ever despite nearly drowning in pleasure…ʼ

Davisʼs gaze flashed with a hidden cold light, knowing his task wasnʼt going to be easy. He had flooded her body with the refreshing and relaxingly pleasurable life energy, but it wasnʼt enough to melt her brain. He wasnʼt surprised since her Will had always been ridiculously strong when considered along the lines of a supreme genius, comparable to the strongest of his wives.

He smiled and chuckled, ”The latter. I canʼt enter since Iʼm barred by the Covenant, so I need you to head there first and clear all the obstacles for the descent of my family. Or would you rather head back to the Lower Realms to pick up my family?”

Fairy Thunderblaze maintained her calm demeanor, ”Iʼd rather clear the path ahead for our empire than protect. My powers are oriented towards destruction, after all.”

”Great.” Davis nodded, ”The danger from the Myriad Coiling Spirit Peak has passed, but it isnʼt good to stay here.”

He explained the events that happened while omitting many things.

To her, the progression of events went like this- after sealing her, he made it to the Myriad Coiling Spirit Peak and managed to meet with Rioxys Plume, who shielded him from many dangers. After the banquet with the youngsters, the Grand Elders revolted against the Guardian, and things became precarious when even spirits from other mountains came to invade, leading him to use the Malevolent Flesh Erasure Fan, which brought the Wills to be at odds and ultimately shatter the mountain.

”…”

Fairy Thunderblazeʼs expression increasingly grew grave until she walked towards him and checked him with worry prevalent in her eyes.

”You say you revived and lost your memories at the end…?”

”I told you Iʼm undying.” Davis touched her hand that was on his cheek, ”It was foolish of you to consume that poison. I have always said to my wives to never think Iʼm dead unless Iʼm truly gone in body and soul. Such a thing could only be verified by karmic powers or Myria. You should ask her before doing something so extreme like committing suicide.”

His voice was stern, his hold on her hand firm as though he wouldnʼt let her go.

”…” Fairy Thunderblaze shook her head, her expression comforting, ”I told you. This body and soul of mine belongs to you. No one should think of taking advantage of that. My methods are extreme, but they ensure nothing goes astray. Even if I die, your heart, especially your Will, wonʼt be broken. In fact, youʼll feel relieved.”

”What are you saying?” Davisʼs expression darkened.

”But Iʼm glad you were able to get rid of those Wills? Now, weʼre both free of their influence. But as you said, we need to leave quick. Can you break the Covenant?”

Davis sighed, ”I can.”

”Then letʼs go together.” Fairy Thunderblaze held his hands, her eyes urging him.

Davis shook his head firmly, ”I cannot leave without them. You clear the path ahead for me and set up formations, especially concealment formations of the Exalt Grade, using the resources we have gathered so far. Iʼll send Tia and the others quick. Otherwise, I would be traced by the Celestial Transcendent, and it would be all over for us.”

Fairy Thunderblaze clearly didnʼt look good, but she agreed, ”If youʼre going back, then do everything in your power to stop your wives from severing our bond, which is entrenched in our souls.”

”Understood.” Davis chuckled as though amused at the fact that she was jealous, ”No one can intrude into my soul unless my Empress says so.”

Fairy Thunderblaze inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. Since she was charmed by her, he would more or less follow her commands, especially when the charm seal was being threatened. It was a typical move charmed victims would take when their bond was being threatened. For her divine technique, it would be much stronger.

”Oh, I have concealment formation discs at the Exalt Stage. I got a few of many things from my grandpa.”

Rioxys Plume manifested beside them, causing Fairy Thunderblaze to look at her. She walked towards her and sent a soul transmission.

”You take care of him. As for the relationship between us, donʼt intrude.”

Rioxys Plumeʼs white eyes gleamed, ”It doesnʼt matter what you do as long as Mistress Bylai and he arenʼt harmed.”

Fairy Thunderblaze paused. It was as she expected. This spirit knew of her charm but hadnʼt done anything yet. She felt she must give her some advantages, ”Bylai will lead a happier life under my wings as long as you donʼt do anything foolish.”

”Really? Great~”

Rioxys Plume giggled and then gave her a few Exalt Grade Formation Discs of many types. Unlike formation flags and arrays that need to be constructed and etched in coherence with the environment, a formation disc was something that used energy from within. It wasnʼt better than the former as it lacked capacity and range, but it was great when one was traveling solo.

”…” Fairy Thunderblaze felt something amiss by how smooth the conversation went.

However, she couldnʼt find anything strange in either their actions or their explanation. She imagined it was because she missed many things and was uneasy as a result. Turning around after preparing many things, she bid Davis farewell and entered the spatial fold, disappearing from his view.

Davis was about to drop his act when she reappeared and said with a worried look.

”Come back to me no matter what~”

”…” Davis nodded subconsciously and watched her face disappear again.

He raised his hand and scratched his cheek, ʼFooling her ainʼt going to be easy…ʼ

With his Heart Intent, he could tell she was immensely worried that he would break free. At the same time, she still had her suspicions that everything likely wouldnʼt go her way after this trip, leading her to be careful even while speaking with him.

Even if she found the discrepancies, he imagined that she would be only willing to be fooled as long as he had the charm seal.

Davis then borrowed the True Deity Concealment Formation Disc and set it up with the help of Rioxys Plume. After making sure this spot was hidden and that no person of destiny could appear and ruin things, he left towards the Wrathful Aeons Shard Region, eager to go meet Evelynn and the others and bring them soon.

ʼI mustʼve screwed the flow of fate in the Shard Continent with what I pulled with the Cursed Artifact and the Wills, causing the time period of the secret realm to shorten considerably once again… I must go retrieve them before all is too late…!ʼ

Only after landed near the spatial vortex to the Wrathful Aeons Shard Region did Davis remember about Lady Thunderwraith, wondering if he should release her outside now or later.

=======

On the other side, Fairy Thunderblaze stepped out of the spatial vortex as shimmering arcs of violet lightning rippled across her slender form. But the moment her foot touched the ground, there was only silence.

A vast expanse of barren land stretched before her, stretching to horizons bled pale by eternal winds. The earth was cracked like reptilian scales, the residue of ancient battles lingering like dried wounds on the world itself.

Ruins stretched across the land, once glorious, now lay half-sunken and lifeless. There were crumbled pillars, shattered towers, and burial mounds of forgotten powers.

Yet the world was too quiet.

Fairy Thunderblaze narrowed her eyes, divine golden lightning reflecting across the wasteland through her eyes.

She floated forward, traveling with long, elegant strides as arcs of thunder supported her steps. Every movement was careful, her senses stretched wide. Though she trusted Davis, the smoothness of their earlier conversation gnawed at her conscience like a subtle itch.

”Am I thinking too much…? No… not this time.”

She knelt near a broken monolith, placing her palm against the cold stone. Lightning flickered through her delicate fingers, searching for remnant energy.

What she found made her brows knit tightly.

But she continued on, exploring the lands.

Through the pulse of lightning, she reconstructed the regionʼs natural energy flows.

She examined earth veins fractures, potential shelter zones, and the remnants of defensive formations that might serve as temporary bases.
