Divine Emperor of Death

Almost two weeks passed since Davis started his seclusion, and four months passed inside the Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace.

Residing in the Life Nurturing formation, he stood up from seclusion, heaving a heavy breath as he exhaled. His blonde hair was slightly disheveled, and his clothes were torn apart in every place. Along with the countless scars on his body, he looked like a complete beggar.

Not even an average woman would look this way with the way he looked. However, his aura was extremely condensed yet practically kept concealed so that almost none at his level would be able to perceive it.

It was unknown what kind of level he had reached.

Looking around, Davis saw that an entire forest of herbs had been successfully grown. They basked in a pure bright light spreading from the center of the landscape. It seemed to be a ball made of life energy and, wherever its light fell, brought forth intense growth and health to the huge garden on top of the Nurturing Life Formation that used a portion of Immortal Grade Life Essence Orb to operate.

It gave him a feeling of immense warmth, and he knew that it also passively healed him when comprehending heavenly wind energy by experiencing the essence with his physical body and contemplating it.

Looking down, he saw the pool of blood that was dried up. Pursing his lips, he saw that he was standing on his own blood pillar, making him look rather dark, wondering if he had lost that much blood. He wasn't even aware.

*Whoosh!~*

Suddenly, a tiny azure-white fox appeared before him, walking over with its four legs in an elegant manner and looking at him with its adorable eyes.

Davis recognized this cute little fox, lightly smiling, "I guess it's been a long time, Everlight."

"Yes… let me heal you, master."

Everlight's sweet voice echoed as her nine tails whipped out and surrounded Davis. A layer of life energy began to cover Davis, starting to heal him with intensity. The ghastly wounds and cuts covering him all over began to recover at a rapid speed. The remnant heavenly aura left in them was also being purified, albeit slower.

Davis basked in her pure life energy, sensing that it had grown stronger and more profound than ever before.

"Mid Immortal Beast Stage. That's wonderful."

"Yes, I just finished consuming the entire meat and stepped into the Level Six Immortal Beast Stage!"

Davis nodded at Everlight, causing her to cry out in admission and delight. She had Davis and Nadia to thank for that because they shared a Level Three Immortal King Stage carcass with her. It was from one of the two Level Three Immortal King Beasts Nadia assassinated.

Davis saw that she had all her nine tails and heaved a sigh, "You didn't go experiment after I healed your tails again. That's good."

"I won't do it again. I promise."

"You better don't, Everlight. I know you're an honest and sincere woman to be able to follow someone else's words while your instincts may want to say otherwise."

This time, Davis was really strict with Everlight as he was worried that if Emperor-Tier Beasts kept popping up, their fates would really go wrong, and end up in the grave. Since he was a Divergent, people would like to kill him to get rid of the trouble, but if they knew that if one of his people or he could turn immortal beasts into Emperor-Tier Immortal Beasts, then there'll be a bloodbath for that supposed treasure that people would start to speculate about.

Even his fellow disciples and elders in the Aurora Cloud Gate could be possessed by greed over it, wanting to hack him down and plunder.

Everlight was slightly embarrassed, but she didn't let it get to her head as she kept a delighted smile on her face, feeling his hands rub over her head. He was finally back. Not only was she delighted to see and thank him, but his end of seclusion meant that she could possibly go out as she was able to hide in his soul sea.

She wasn't like Nadia to be concealing herself, after all.

Secluding herself here for four months made her feel more than excited to be able to see the outside, even though this place practically appeared like it was made for her. After all, she didn't get a good look at the First Haven World.

"Come here."

After wearing a new set of his favorite purple robe, Davis lifted up Everlight and placed her on his shoulder, allowing her to continue to heal him while he went straight outside. As for Eldia, she was outside. He guessed that she was cultivating in the Lucent Windstorm Valley Formation with many resources.

However, he wasn't aware of what happened outside as he used his soul body to learn more about the manuals he trained in, finding more profundities within them, especially in Myria's Unfettered Earthly Reincarnation Scripture that held obscure and untold truths and concepts of life and death.

It could be said that it benefited him greatly, but he didn't slack on the Grand Chaos Body Art as well.

He secluded himself in his room, pondering over the tiny rune scriptures over them all day and night for four months straight, and the result was that he was extremely confident in being able to use his techniques with little waste and high efficiency.

Walking out of the seventh floor, he saw no one, causing him to be befuddled.

'No one is cultivating?' His senses didn't find anyone else than Eldia and Vereina, causing him to deeply smile, "Good. They finally know how to enjoy their lives, don't they, Everlight?"

He was afraid that Tina and Dalila were still cultivating, but it seemed that they had exited seclusion.

"I… I don't know anything."

"Mhm?"

Davis eyed Everlight's strange reaction before he teleported himself out of the Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace.

Instantly, he was greeted by decorations hanging over the ceiling of the hall, causing him to be astonished before his jaw dropped.

'Wait, I said three weeks… but damn, they're so eager and cute that I really can't blame them...'

Heading outside, he saw that the people had started decorating the mansion for the marriage between him, Sophie, and Niera.

To him, it was unknown what happened outside, so he looked around with interest and expectation. He saw so many statues of dragons and phoenixes lining up the pathway, possessing a tinge of Bylai's aura. Her sculpting skills were beyond ordinary and included so many intricate details that he felt like he could admire them just for the sake of it since he was no expert.

The icy flowers placed over the pathway's intersection were occasionally blooming with a cool breeze, possessing Natalya's aura within them.

There were many aspects that he could see through that contained each of his women's work. They were all preparing this for his marriage, causing him to inwardly nod his head in gratefulness. The more they did this out of their own hands, the more he felt that they accepted his selfishness.

After all, he was going to marry not one but two women at the same time.

This was a new experience for him as well, making him wonder how it would feel like to have two blonde beauties on the same marriage night together, stripping them off their clothes and robbing them of their innocence.

'Wait… now I am getting excited… I'll have to cool down before I take a step inside...'

Knowing that he could be overwhelmed with temptation by the number of beauties on the other side of the hall if he was not careful, he steadied his breathing and took a step forward.

"Davis!~"

"Husband!~"

Instantly, a chorus of musical voices greeted him with delight and affection, causing him to break out into a wide smirk as he walked towards them, quickly surrounded by their ever-growing passion that sought his affection.
