Divine Emperor of Death

Davis found that the moment he manipulated so many beings, his soul force was brought down by five percent. It was less when he used it underneath the waterfall, less than two percent.

'So the amount of soul force I use depends on the quantity of the living entities, their individual cultivation, and the range they are in...'

He derived the limitations and the workings of Level Two Obscure Intent of Enigmatic Heart Intent. Perhaps, there is more to it than it meets the eye, but he really wanted to get it over with what he came here for, feeling a bit excited as he almost felt like a god.

'Wha- so corruptive...'

Davis took a moment to calm himself, regulating his emotions before he opened his eyes. Waving his hand, he brought out a casket with preserving capabilities, and inside that casket was a black-haired man lying with a bloody hole on his chest.

His lips seemed to have curved in a victorious smile as though he was never proud in his life than the moment he died.

Indeed, Davis gazed at the corpse of Glyn, preserved and maintained in the state he was killed. Evelynn also gazed at Glyn's corpse, turning to look at Davis.

"Husband, I know you have your reasons to revive this person, but what's the most important one? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

"Evelynn…" Davis pursed his lips, "I consider Glyn my very first failure in the things I sought to do. Truth is… his death was because of me."

'Truth is… he was not supposed to die that day as his lifespan was long...' Davis repeated in his mind before he smiled.

"That's why I want to erase this failure, and to do so would require me to revive him. Even if it were not for me, I have some words to fulfill to a cousin who still thinks of him, and that makes him the best candidate for me to try and revive with motivation."

"I see." Evelynn gently smiled, "I was surprised since it's the first time you went to such lengths for a man."

"Oye, I don't swing that way."

"Hehehe~ I know~"

Davis smilingly shook his head while Evelynn heartily laughed. She retreated and gained some distance, leaving Davis together with the corpse, watching them with some excitement on her face. She couldn't believe that she married a person who could revive the dead. This was something that no one ever imagined, yet she found herself in this place, by his side.

Perhaps, she might get berated by her sisters for not inviting them, but the fact that Davis was with her meant that he could only show his weakness to her. After all, there was a high chance of failure.

Indeed, Davis looked at Glyn for some time while trying to become fully focused.

To revive a person, he had only one chance and couldn't make any mistakes. Otherwise, their soul essence would be destroyed and, sometimes, would never reincarnate if the three spiritual souls were destroyed. That was what Myria conveyed to him.

It was just as he expected, causing him to applaud his past self for not trying to be hasty in using reincarnation energy without knowing anything.

Nonetheless, he gained the concentration he required in a few minutes, raising both his hands. Reincarnation energy surged out from his ten fingers, swirling like ten dragons creating a massive vortex. Heaven and earth energy shook at his momentum, gathering towards the vortex in copious amounts.

*Rumble!~*

The clouds above thundered as they gathered together, turning dark in broad daylight. Lightning crackled, falling as they struck a few peaks.

*Bzzzz!~*

A lightning strike directly fell on Evelynn when suddenly her spider bone shot out and cleaved the lightning strike into two, collapsing it. She lowered her gaze and returned her gaze to Davis.

The weather changed drastically as a smell of dread emerged instead of the smell of rain. However, Davis paid it no heed, continuing to use the technique Myria taught.

The reincarnation vortex appeared similar to the core of his soul essence because he controlled the power. It kept shrinking, turning into a sphere filled with an unknown power.

Davis couldn't help but feel strange, but he waved his hand and brought out Glyn's soul essence, sending it towards the reincarnation vortex. The soul essence seeped into the tiny sphere, becoming bound that Davis was no longer able to control it but only slightly feel its presence.

However, his expression became hesitant.

'Do I really need to chant…?'

Davis pursed his lips, but since he didn't want to make any mistakes, he took a deep breath and opened his mouth.

"Deceiving the reincarnation cycle, bring forth the cardinal essence of the fallen. Churn with the might of life and death and release the reincarnation locked within, threatening the balance of the cosmos as I give ordinance for the dead to rise: Fallen Soul Resurrection."

As he chanted, Davis found that the circulation within the reincarnation vortex drastically changed.

With the swirling vortex of iridescent energy bound to the soul essence, a blinding light stretched from within, completely filling the space Davis stood and beyond.

Evelynn could no longer see as she closed her eyes. The light released was too much for her to bear, making her feel that she might be burned if she continued to witness it.

*Rumble!~*

Heaven and earth shook with a vile tremor, seemingly as though it was going to bring down heavenly punishment to him. However, only thunder and lightning were prevalent. There were no tribulation clouds, yet the two of them felt that the world was going to be asunder and collapse.

Just as the blinding black and white light from the reincarnation vortex seemed like it extended beyond, it quickly returned, leaving the tiny sphere of iridescent black and white hue hovering in mid-air.

Davis's eyes were wide as he saw the tiny sphere blossom into a lotus.

The next moment, the iridescent lotus exuded a hint of consciousness, causing Davis's hair to rise, making him feel goosebumps.

It was alive. No, Glyn was finally revived!

Nonetheless, he didn't forget himself in awe and waved his hand.

The soul essence abruptly shot towards Glyn's body, piercing through the forehead and entering an empty meridian point. At the same time, the soul essence gave off a blinding radiance that kept extending without a stop inside his Yintang meridian point.

'The expansion of soul sea...'

Davis watched the changes with his soul sense, his heart trembling upon witnessing this sight. He had also lost his soul sea back then, so without Fallen Heaven, he was truly dead.

Now, Glyn's soul sea had been reformed when he was revived, and now that he had rejoined with his body, his soul sea was expanding to become compatible with his flesh, causing him to become fully integrated in time.

Davis waited for the process to end when he saw a streak of dark blood erupting through Glyn's mouth as he gasped.

*Cough!~*

Glyn coughed out blood as he tried to speak, but his blood seemed to have gone stiff and bad already. He was unable to move, unable to voice out, and did not understand where he was except for the fact that he had just got stuck by a finger move that fell right on his chest, which pierced his heart.

But at this moment, a pure white light fell on his body, causing him to feel somewhat at ease, his mind calming as his blurry eyes tried to focus on the purple-robed figure.

'I… I didn't die…? Wait… who is this person…? I think he's healing me… but I hope that I protected Lucia… I hope… she's safe...'

Unable to hold on as he felt overwhelming exhaustion surge into his mind, Glyn fainted as he closed his eyes.
