Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 2355 Branding

The exchange room was a humongous room or, perhaps, a hall, enough to accommodate the massive size of immortal beasts. There, Davis was seated on a throne, appearing to be a speck of dust in the vast space.

Davis couldn't help but think that it was very professional of the Azure Radiance Slave Traders to treat their patron like a master who was about to purchase their slaves.

Moreover, he found out that the material that this throne was made out of was at the Immortal Grade, perhaps at Level One Immortal Stage, and since the throne seemed new with no amount of detectable remnant aura on them, he figured out that the Azure Radiance Slave Traders accommodated their patrons with new thrones that were one level higher than them every time a transaction took place.

Honestly, he was surprised by their professionalism, and from it, he could see that they had probably been doing this for hundreds and thousands of years at the very least, especially with how the security and workers functioned with the utmost efficiency as though they were robots.

Nonetheless, his gaze fell on the two figures who were brought in one by one.

The first to enter this gaze was the black-robed man. There were a lot of talismans placed on the skin of his body, mainly on his head, heart, and abdomen, while the others were add-ons blocking his circulatory route. All three of his cultivations appeared to be absolutely sealed, with no inch of opportunity to break free.

The next to enter was the Rumbling Earthtail Lion. She was in her magical beast form, her copper-colored mane freely accentuating her look as though she was wearing a coat, while her fur adorned with earthly runes also seemed to be groomed.

Normally, a lioness wouldn't have a mane, but magical beasts sported all kinds of features on their body. Their evolution adapted to hide their sensitive parts like they were humans, so he wasn't surprised to see a female having a mane. Nonetheless, once she stood in her position, she was ordered to turn into her human form.

Quickly, her figure flashed in a reddish-brown light. The next second, she had turned into a copper-haired woman who was five feet nine inches tall. Her beauty was also good but not enough to match any one of his women. Even Natalya had her face perfectly refined like a jade sculpture after practicing so much yin. However, there was one particular trait about this woman that left Davis speechless.

"Is everything fine?" Yufor couldn't help but ask before he added, "If patron is not satisfied with the slaves, we can still cancel the deal and refund the immortal crystals a hundred percent. We definitely won't force our patron into a deal, but after the patron brings the slaves away from our palace, it is extremely difficult to return them, so please make your decision after giving the slaves a good look."

"No need." Davis stood up from the throne and walked up to them.

He appeared in front of the Rumbling Earthtail Lioness and asked, "What's your name?"

"Katherine Hilltail." A melodious and youthful voice resounded.

The Rumbling Earthtail Lioness's expression was indifferent, but the eyes betrayed the anxiety that she felt towards Davis, causing the latter to simply extend his hand and pat her head with an unknown smile cracking over his lips.

"I see. Katherine... a good name. From now on, you're my slave."

His thumb touched his forehead when he cast the Obscure Ghastly Bind Slave Seal.

Dark energy surged out of his thumb and entered Katherine Hilltail's soul sea. The magical beast core and a magical beast's soul sea were interconnected. That's why the destruction of a magical beast's core also meant the death of the soul sea, causing the magical beast's soul to dissipate and die. However, this didn't apply to magical beasts who have gained control over their souls, like the Cyan Soul Rats.

Nonetheless, Katherine Hilltail shuddered as she felt an overwhelming power seal her fate just like that. She was shocked to find out that she wasn't even able to resist a bit. Even though there were sealing talismans hindering her cultivation, what of her willpower?

How did she even fail to show a hint of resistance?

Her expression became aghast, realizing that even though she was at the Peak-Level Emperor Beast Stage, similar to the human in front of her, she was unable to put up even a hint of struggle, causing her to understand that his prowess was extremely high.

"Ma... master..."

Katherine's copper-colored eyes suddenly flashed as though she had come to a realization. She could never escape from this man.

"Good."

Davis's lips curved before he turned to look at someone else. His gaze fell on the black-robed man whose eyes were closed as though this had nothing to do with him.

"Valuable patron, let me hold this slave down for you. Even though we have sealed all his cultivations and forcefully lowered them, he is still a Level Two Immortal. Even with his pure physical prowess suppressed to a level that could be considered mortal to accommodate, he can still cause a significant amount of damage since he is an assassin."

"Then I'll take you up on your offer."

Yufor offered, which Davis accepted.

Yufor appeared behind the assassin and kicked his leg, causing the latter to kneel. His eyes that had been closed quickly shot wide when he turned around, his hands turning into sharp claws. However, Yufor sneered and moved ever so lightly, causing the assassin to miss.

The next moment, the assassin found himself kneeling with his hands tied behind his back. However, he didn't let out a single word, purely appearing to look like an overloaded fuel tank that was about to explode as his cheeks turned red from humiliation.

"Such an aggressive and intimidating slave. Valuable patron, are you sure that you don't want to use our Blood Soul Contract? I say that it is a Blood Soul Contract, but it is practically a slave contract that completely has the slave under the master's whims. At that time, if the master died, the slave would also die, so the slave will not dare attack the master and only try to run away."

"No, I'll have fun taming him."

Davis revealed an excited smile as his palm descended on the battle slave.

The assassin's expression changed as he felt terrifying dark energy penetrate his immortal soul sea. That layer of dark energy instantly gathered and formed a brand that etched into his soul. Something that would be difficult to find in his immortal soul sea was easily found by this man, causing him to turn shocked that he forgot his humiliation even though he was shuddering like Katherine.

Davis took his hand back from the assassin as he let out a satisfied smile.

What he used was the Obscure Ghastly Bind Slave Seal again. It is a Low-Level Emperor Grade Soul Technique, a dark-attributed enslavement technique that was difficult to detect and erase once placed on someone's soul. But in Davis's hands, its grade increased, causing it to become a powerful slave seal limited people's actions, warned him about their hostility towards him and allowed him to punish them by inflicting pain or causing them to die through the erasure of the soul.

On the other hand, Yufor's brows lifted in astonishment. He figured that Davis was most likely a young master from a wicked path power, and his prowess should definitely be three or four levels higher. In that case, this person was someone who had created an Emperor Sigil!

His expression instantly turned a few notches pleasing.

"Patron's enslaving techniques are quite marvelous. From their reactions, I assume that it has completely branded their souls, and even if they become stronger, I doubt that they could release it by themselves. But by that time, I'm sure our valuable patron will become an immortal, so there's no need to worry."

"Indeed."The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the (ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

Davis smirked before he clasped his hands, "Discussing the mundane affairs of the world with you has broadened my horizons. I had been home for many years, you see, but now, I'm a free soul who entered the world of cultivation, and thanks to you, these slaves would serve my purpose."

Yufor also clasped his hands but also gave a bow, "It has been a pleasure, valuable patron. I will be awaiting your word in three days."

Davis nodded before turning to look at the slaves he acquired.

"Follow me."

He walked out of the humongous room while Katherine Hilltail followed behind him. On the other hand, the assassin clenched his teeth, seemingly unable to accept this fate. However, a burst of intense pain in his soul sea quickly caused him to move his body.

Both of the slaves followed Davis out of the Azure Radiance Slave Trader Palace, coming to see the light of the day in many years that their eyes couldn't help but turn red.
