Divine Emperor of Death-Novel



Fairy Ruyan, Fairy Nila, and General Jerald slowly recovered their composure, their attention taken by the white-robed, white-haired woman. Looking properly, their heart couldn't help but be moved by her innate beauty that was intricately hidden by her veil.

In front of her, the word fairy seemed a bit unfaithful to her stature. If anything, her aura was more that of a goddess, uncorrupted and aloof. They saw her store the dark flower within a jade container but continued to look at its features with an enigmatic gaze.

Davis was beside Myria, awaiting her analysis, and so were Tina and Dalila, appearing to try deducing on their own.

"This is a Mid-Level Immortal Emperor Grade heavenly resource of the illusion and sound attribute. It tempers the soul with its own will, augmenting the cultivator's soul force and enhancing its quality and density to levels previously unattainable. As the soul essence intermingled with their soul force, it purged impurities, harmonized conflicting energies, and fortified the spiritual foundation, making it stronger and more stable."

Myria explained before she turned to look at Davis, "Perhaps it would even provide insights into Illusion and Sound Laws. Do you want it?"

"You seem like you… want it?"

Davis responded with a question, causing Myria to stare at him before she looked away.

She frowned, finding this dislikeable as she felt like she had to ask him each time to acquire a resource, yet it felt somehow unfair towards him when she thought of leaving.

After all, she was well aware he was pursuing her and she had hurt him, but he still didn't show any signs of aggression to her and was even accommodating, causing her to feel guilty. Moreover, as far as she remembered, she always traversed the land and the skies alone, not owing anyone anything, but to this man, she felt complicated.

It was driving her a bit crazy, making her restless, but she also didn't find it unwelcome.

But he was right. She did indeed want it, as this resource could help her soul essence improve, leading to an increase in her prowess. By how far? She didn't know, but even the slightest increase would allow her to survive better in the long run. However, she didn't want to take his chances to improve either.

In her mind, he had already done her a huge favor by giving her the Silvery Ruinous Everleaf, which was required for the concoction of her body physique.

Thinking all of this, her gaze returned to him, "You keep it."

Myria presented the jade container to Davis, causing him to blink.

Even without using Heart Intent, he knew that Myria wanted this resource badly. After all, it was a heavenly resource that would help anyone who liked to temper their souls.

Davis reached out his hand and grabbed the jade container from her, "Are you sure? I have plenty of ways to improve the quality of my soul force."

He was not lying. He had yet to try if it would work in the Immortal Realm, but digesting thousands of soul essences should allow his soul essence to thrive and become stronger in theory. However, Myria didn't have such a thing.

At present, even he felt bad for surpassing Myria in Soul Forging Cultivation.

After all, he was using her soul cultivation manual, the Unfettered Earthly Reincarnation Scripture. It was her life's work yet because it was practically a perfect match for his unique soul physique. Why? Because this manual was created with the goal of fusing life and death energy and his unique soul physique, the Everlasting Samsara Tribunal Soul Physique was already such a physique.

Its compatibility with him was greater than Myria's, leading him to have such powerful soul essence which directly translated into his combat ability, leading him to directly suppress Kingly Monarchs whose prowess was eight levels higher.

Usually, he would tease her and say that the Unfettered Earthly Reincarnation Scripture was no longer hers, but this time around, he felt bad. But that said, he also knew she was a prideful woman.

"Can you make this into a pill? We can all share it while maintaining the same efficacy."

Davis suggested, causing Myria to frown, "If I were to create a pill using this heavenly resource, the success rate would be less than eighty percent."

'What…? That's too high…'

Davis smilingly blinked, "That's more than enough to wager."

"Besides, I need to acquire more sub-ingredients for me to be able to concoct."

"Then let's look for them. If we don't find the sub-ingredients, then we'll decide on what to do with the resource."New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on Noᴠelꜰire.nᴇt

"…"

Myria stayed silent. A few seconds later, she lightly nodded, thinking that Tina and Dalila needed to increase their density of soul force no matter what. Otherwise, they wouldn't last long during the realm concoction. In fact, she wasn't worried about Tina but Dalila.

In terms of soul force capacity…

Myria turned to look at Tina, her eyelids fluttering as she knew she had far more soul force than Davis did purely due to her Four Elements Soul Physique. However, Tina's prowess still didn't exceed Davis as Tina's soul essence quality was still lower.

Having reached a conclusion over this heavenly resource, Davis was satisfied.

'Things are going great… We're accumulating resources and gradually growing stronger…'

He hoped that they could be as strong as possible before the realm concoction began. If not, there was a high possibility that they could die purely because of the possibility that they were the outsiders here.

They were uninvited.

With that being the case, Davis was about to deal with the three factions who stayed rather quiet this whole time. However, he was suddenly interrupted by a purple-robed woman who came forward to him, appearing quite shy as she didn't look at his eyes but had her gaze lowered while fiddling with her fingers.

"…"

Davis frowned, "Don't tell me you want the pill made from this heavenly resource as well, Vereina?"

"…"

Vereina practically felt her face burning, but she opened her mouth, "Yes."

"You dare to be a freeloader?"

Davis's voice became firm and loud, causing Vereina to shudder as she raised her head and shook her hands at him.

"I understand that I'm overstepping my bounds, but I need it really bad. I know I can't provide you with any help with the way I am, but I will owe you a great favor in the future if you allow me to take one pill of the many you would obtain upon concoction."

"…"

Vereina pleaded as she shook her fists while looking at him with a determined gaze.

Davis didn't know what to say as she appeared quite sincere. If one didn't know better, it appeared like she was pleading for drugs in exchange for doing anything.

However, this was a matter of priority. He could only prioritize his own people compared to the people he knew.

"How many?"

He asked Myria using soul transmission, causing her to instantly reply as she was also paying attention.

"Eight to ten."

'Gosh… that's so many…'

Davis was once again shattered by Myria's humbleness. Clearly, Tina and Dalila have yet to reach Myria's proficiency in Alchemy, but considering that Myria had thousands of years of worth of head start, he was only proud of Tina and Dalila for reaching this far in such a short amount of time.

Nonetheless, he knew this was way more than enough, causing him to stare at Vereina with a cold gaze.

"Do you realize what kind of favor this is?"

"One…" Vereina clenched her teeth, "… one that's enough to hand over my self-respect to you."

"It's good that you understand." Davis nodded with some satisfaction but shook his head, "However, your sincerity is still not enough unless you decide to become vulnerable and show me how your soul physique works. By then, I would consider it even and award you the pill you want to strengthen your soul physique. Besides, I know you're well-versed in Illusion Laws other than Darkness Laws. Perhaps even Sound Laws as well? Who knows?"

"…"

Vereina's heart shook as she heard his words. His demands also resounded in her ears. He was asking her to provide the utmost secret that made her a Divergent.

Without it, she had the strangest notion that she would no longer serve any purpose to his group, causing her to be cast outside or dissected from head to toe. From the moment she met him, she was aware that her soul physique was the only thing that intrigued him. This was one of the many reasons why she still hadn't allowed him to look into her soul sea and study her soul physique yet.

After all, allowing him inside her soul sea meant giving him the opportunity to place a slave seal on her for eternity. She couldn't reason after it had happened, so she could only guard herself from the very beginning, but now, she had to allow him access, or she wouldn't be getting the pill she required to improve her soul essence.

On the other hand, Davis weighed Vereina's soul physique as of more importance than the pill.

After all, if he understood her soul physique's secrets, then chances are, he could start digesting soul essences perfectly that it tremendously increases the quality of his soul essence, leading to greater prowess.

Entering the Immortal Emperor Stage would inevitably decrease his prowess, but if he could understand how her soul physique worked, then it may not be a dream for him to maintain the same or higher prowess in the Immortal Emperor Stage!
