Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 353 Treasures!

From the description, it seemed that the sword had been gifted to the Earth Dragon by a skilled blacksmith, and its grade was at Peak-Level King Grade, capable of severing a Peak-Level Seventh Stage Expert with almost no difficulty.

Although the formation was still there, there wasn’t anything that warranted it to be active because the sword there had already been taken. Only its projection was left there, maybe as a form of remembrance but who knew?

’Isabella has it... Huh?’ Davis pondered as narrowed his eyes, ’Did she even tame it in the first place?’

He shook his head. It was unlikely for an expert who had just entered the Seventh Stage to subdue a weapon that was at the Peak of the Seventh Stage.

Or maybe, he was entirely wrong and someone before Isabella had taken it away, someone from the previous generations from the Ruth Family.

To him, it was still unknown how many had participated and how many had cleared the trial, so he relatively took the sight in his eyes with a pinch of salt.

He strode past the formation and came into sight of another formation in the narrow pathway, except it was vertically wide and widened as it approached the end like an opening valley.

Just like that, he continued to memorize every treasure’s description he came across while simultaneously broadening his horizons.

He didn’t opt to take one without knowing what the other formations had in store for him.

Finally, after an hour, out of the 1368 King Grade Treasures he saw, only three were taken away.

From this, he clearly knew that only Isabella had managed to clear the King Grade Trial.

Davis had his doubts... Were the ancestors combat prowess that useless and weak?

He didn’t know the answer to that question but it seemed unlikely since Sixth Stage Experts were present at that time of antiquity.

In the Sky Grade Treasury, there were more than ten thousand Sky Grade Treasures as the wide space was filled to the brim.

If this scenario followed, Davis imagined that there would only be a hundred or so Emperor Grade Treasures at the far reach of this place.

Same as the Sky Grade Treasury, the weapons in the King Grade Treasury were also in the majority, counting up to more than 500.

Pills, Ingredients were less but Manuals and the like has even more dwindled to the amount of no more than twenty.

But the manuals were absolute! They were all at the Peak-Level of King Grade, unlike the other treasures which were spread out in the levels.

Davis was quite angry right now because, of the three treasures that Isabella took away, there was no such thing as an egg!

The Emperor Rank Earth Dragon Baby!! Where did it come from!? Obviously, it was from the...

"Earth Dragon! You dare to bend the rules you’ve established!? Despicable!" Davis shouted as his face fumed.

It was one thing for it to not hand over the inheritance because of his strangeness but handing over an Earth Dragon Egg for a trialist who had just cleared the King Grade Trial? He considered it ridiculous.

No matter how he thought of it... The Earth Dragon Egg clearly belonged to the category of Emperor Grade Treasure, or it could even be one of the main rewards for clearing the Emperor Grade Trial but Isabella cleared no such trial.

It was clear to him that this fellow who acts righteously can bend the rules to his will.

The image of the Earth Dragon once again appeared, encasing his surroundings and his soul with pure pressure.

"What is it?" It’s husky yet powerful voice pounded on his soul.

Davis took a deep breath, calming down his raging heart as he questioned, "I assume you know Isabella? The woman who cleared the King Grade Trial..."

Davis didn’t wait for its answer but continued in a cold tone, "She had a little Earth Dragon with her if I’m not wrong. Care to explain?"

The image of the Earth Dragon went silent as if was pondering on its thoughts. A few seconds in silence passed before it answered with a complex emotion in its voice, "So, it has hatched..."

"Yes, I was the one who gave her the egg, what of it?" The Earth Dragon Immortal brazenly spoke.

"There’s no such thing as an egg in this place... This means that you gave it to her through foul means. I won’t let you say that the egg was one of the main rewards for clearing the King Grade Trial!" Davis said as he articulated the latter part of the sentence.

The Earth Dragon maintained its silence for a few seconds before it uttered, "You’re right... I bent the rules..."

Davis completely calmed down since it accepted his claim. He wasn’t angry anymore but was annoyed, "Why?"

"Look around you, these are all inanimate objects even though they might possess a sliver of consciousness. They can not rot away from rust while the formation is still established and active but what about an egg which had its vitality stopped for a long time?"

Davis was startled as he forgot to think about this matter. He suddenly realized why the Earth Dragon even went far as to bend the rules.

"I’ve already waited for millions of years but there was no one in this desolate region to satisfy the requirements to clear King Grade Trial and above."

"I’ve lowered the difficulty a lot of times but you people were still useless... and trash!"

"If this kept going on, my clan’s descendants would eventually have to die without even being able to live!"

Davis kept his mouth shut. So this was the reason why no one in the past were able to clear the trials above Sky Grade. He realized that it was because of the ridiculous difficulty it had imposed on them at that time.

And the Ruth Family ancestor had once cleared its difficult Sky Grade Trial. He mused that he should be a grand character at that time, enjoying both women and wealth.

Somehow, he also felt that this Earth Dragon remnant soul had a lot of pent up emotions with itself. It had even cursed which he thought he wouldn’t be able to see in his lifetime.

An Immortal Level existence cursed the whole of Grand Sea Continent’s history? He could only silently laugh at that since he felt it wasn’t mocking him.

"And finally! When you arrived, I was excited, liberated even... But you turned out to be strange and something I’m not willing to take a chance with... Do you even understand my plight?"

Davis nodded his head but didn’t choose to reply as he thought that it would be detrimental to him.

"That is why I already made a concession and decided to award you with three times the amount of rewards for clearing the Emperor Grade Trial... If you still aren’t satisfied... I would have no choice but to throw you out!"

Davis inwardly laughed but still nodded his head as if he was an obedient junior. He knew angering the Earth Dragon Immortal might have some consequences, so he acted appropriately to come out unscathed.

The image of the Earth Dragon distorted as it disappeared, leaving only Davis to choose 9 King Grade Treasures.

He stretched his arms and uttered, "I’ve already decided on the treasures I want to pick..."

Going back towards the entrance of this place, he started to take away the first treasure he chose.

Earth Dragon’s Destructive Spear

Peak-Level King Grade

...

Davis saw its magnificent appearance and sharp blade at the end of the rod staff. He was quite absorbed by its appearance as it looked majestic, to say the least.

But what he saw in its appearance wasn’t just its majestic trait but its raging aura to cause destruction.

Davis wondered what kind of materials was used to create this magnificent piece of the blade and the shaft of the spear.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t explained in the description written down below the formation.

He kept it in his spatial ring using one of his 9 chances.

With 8 more chances left to get the treasures, after much consideration again, he took 5 pills and 3 other miscellaneous treasures.

He didn’t take any more weapons because it would do him no good in any way since he would not be able to increase his own strength.

Relying on weapons was no good. He would always place his cultivation first and there weren’t even any Scythes to tempt him.

Besides, he didn’t take any cultivation manuals either because he saw no lightning attributed Essence Gathering Cultivation Manuals.

As for Soul Forging Cultivation Manuals, he saw none but even without a Soul Forging Cultivation Manual, it remained a mystery that if he would still be able to increase his Soul Forging Cultivation.

Davis half-heartedly believed that he would still be able to cultivate his Soul Forging Cultivation because of Fallen Heaven. After all, when he was still a child, he was able to mysteriously break through to the Nascent Soul Stage when he didn’t even train in a Soul Forging Cultivation Manual.

This event gave him a clue. He wondered if Fallen Heaven could also act as a Cultivation Manual, helping him drive the circulation method in Soul Forging Cultivation but that also seemed farfetched since it didn’t seem to possess an ability like that.

After collecting the nine treasures, he once again saw the treasures that Isabella took away, leaving only some projections.

One was that Peak-Level King Grade Sword and the other two were a Mid-Level King Grade Pill and a Peak-Level King Grade Essence Gathering Cultivation Manual.

Golden Strengthening Pill

Capable of strengthening one’s raw prowess at the Mid-Level Seventh Stage and is able to help one’s breakthrough into the Seventh Stage with ease because of its gentle efficacy of energy.

’No wonder she was able to easily get to the Seventh Stage at her age...’ Davis casually thought when he came across this taken-away pill for the first time.

The reason why it was graded at Mid-Level might be because of this reason, its ability to have gentle energy making consumers easily able to absorb the pill.

The other treasure was the earth attributed Peak-Level King Grade Essence Gathering Cultivation Manual but it seemed like Isabella made no progress in it because of her decision to solely concentrate on Body Tempering Cultivation.

Davis’s impression of her grew the more he learned about her decisions here. She had at least chosen one of the treasures in a way that would clearly help her complete the Emperor Grade Trial in a few years.

’Isabella will be taking part in the trial with the last batch... I hope Evelynn is resting peacefully.’

’Well, they won’t send the last batch without me coming out of the trial...’

Davis smiled as he walked towards the end of the path.

He pushed open a gate again that looked... majestic. Alright, this one was decorated and etched with same Earth Dragon patterns all over the place except its material sturdiness said that he wouldn’t be able to break it even if he reached the Seventh Stage.

He thought of punching it to test but realized that it could be rude, resulting in him being thrown out.

He looked to the front and his eyes glazed.

In his view, the area widened in both dimensions and a kilometer away from him ran a waterfall that hid a cave behind its cascading beauty.

He looked at the big pond and understood that it was connected to the top of the waterfall, making it flow like a cycle.

A short distance away from him was the circular patterned diagram formation that he saw at every checkpoint he came across.

"Sit there and receive the main rewards..."

Davis promptly walked towards the circular diagram and sat in the middle of it.

On top of the circular diagram was a scroll-like manual. He grasped and scrolled it open, witnessing the contents with his Soul Sense.

"!!!!"

Domineering Earth Dragon Arts - Peak-Level Emperor Grade Body Tempering Cultivation Manual!

Davis’s heart was stuck in his throat. Such a powerful cultivation manual was handed over to him like it cost nothing. Although he had to clear the trial for it, he had little doubt that the territories in the First Layer would casually start a war for a piece of this scroll.
