Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1376 Aftermath

Davis’s expression inwardly lit up in glee as he began suppressing the tiny strands of tribulation lightning that were in his meridians, veins, organs, trying to wreck him. However, it also proved to temper his body as he simultaneously used the life-like energy to heal up right after it injured him.

He had found this to be the case after the eighth strike had almost gravely injured him. When he internally used his own life-like energy to heal himself while dealing with the tribulation lightning through the death-like energy, he accidentally found that the life-like energy that was healing him at an unbelievable speed also served to suppress the tribulation lightning, almost as if it cut off the connection between it and the heavens, making them tame as they just floated instead of continuing to harm him!

This was why he had stayed on the ground after the eighth strike, swelling in euphoria as he knew that he might be able to plunder the tribulation lightning from the heavens!

What he felt was a pipe dream became a reality!

After the ninth tribulation-lightning gravely injured him while he almost as quickly began to use his life-like energy to heal his body, the remnant tribulation lightning dancing over his body was already weak, only capable of doing little damage as the life-like energy simultaneously tamed them.

However, when the heavenly tribulation aura receded, it was like they were left without a source to replenish themselves. At the same time, Fallen Heaven’s pure life-like energy made it extremely easier for him to suppress the tribulation lightning into one of harmless energy that simply floated in his meridians.

Soon, the lightning that was dancing around his body also entered and was promptly tamed by him.

Davis began collecting the strands of tribulation lightning with the life-like energy, trying to fuse them into one. He had no idea how he was going to utilize it but felt that it was best if he first stored them in a safe place, like his dantian. Of course, he would constantly shower it with life-like energy, so he felt that it would be relatively safe.

Still, the toll on his soul force remained great that he lost around seventy percent of it in this battle, making him feel rather exhausted a bit. He inwardly cursed himself, thinking that it would’ve been so much easier if he had techniques to utilize the death-like energy’s prowess to a greater degree.

If he did, then he felt that he would’ve only used around fifty percent or less soul force while also not incurring any injuries, making it so that he would’ve used a lesser amount of soul force in the end. This reminded him how important it was to learn techniques so that he could use his energy without waste.

Fortunately, the ninth tribulation strike was the last lightning strike. Otherwise, he might’ve been totally toasted into a crisp human that magical beasts might crave!

Nevertheless, he cracked a King Beast Stage Magical Beast Soul Essence in his soul sea and began to replenish his soul force from it. Although the replenishment was rather slow, he could understand it as his prowess was extremely high than the soul essence used.

While he was moving the strands of tribulation lightning to his dantian, his expression suddenly froze.

A pair of delicate arms softly wrapped around his neck as the feeling of softness emerged all over his body.

Davis’s eyes shot open as he simultaneously knew that it was none other than Tia Alstreim. He was about to groan in pain, but as he noticed her trembling, he grit his teeth and endured, thinking those charred patches of skin over his neck that have yet to heal would be healed soon anyway.

He left his grasp on the spear and embraced Tia Alstreim as he caressed her head.

"Alright, alright... The danger has passed. You do not need to be worried anymore. In fact, you need to be worried about your dirty big brother tainting you all black with my charred husk, haha..."

Davis dryly chuckled as he still felt a bit exhausted. Even though most of his external injuries healed, the charred-up skin he shed still stuck over his skin, creating another layer.

However, his humor garnered no laughs or even as much as of a single giggle from Tia Alstreim as she still gently held him and silently sobbed over his shoulder as if he was her emotional support. He just left her be and caressed her head, concentrating on healing himself while also replenishing his soul force at the same time.

Nevertheless, when Davis meant that she did not need to worry about her life, he really meant it.

When he took on the ninth tribulation strike with his King Soul Domain, his Death God Eyes simultaneously reacted to Tia Alstreim’s lifespan expanding to something he couldn’t evaluate. That’s why he also knew that the heavenly tribulation was over at that moment.

However, that also made him understand that until the last strike, it was entirely possible that the heavenly tribulation could’ve transformed again, possibly from the outside interference like Ancestor Dian Alstreim stepping into aid or provocation from himself by angering the heavens with impudent words.

He didn’t know which, but he understood that fate was ever-changing in the radius of his existence. To others, the divergence of the path they might take may only be a matter of probability that they think that they could think and act while, in truth, it was already pre-destined for them by fate, but it may very well be a reality to him.

As long as if he could act on it, he could change the fate of others as well as himself!

"...!"

At this moment, Davis’s expression changed.

Strange undulations began to envelop Tia Alstreim as her trembling stopped. Surprisingly, she entered a meditative state while sobbing on the top of his shoulders!

Davis didn’t even dare to move, afraid that he might disturb her as he quickly understood that it was her Karmic Guardian Physique granting her comprehensions over Karmic Laws.

At this moment, the three Ninth Stage Powerhouses also arrived before him, looking at him with a certain gaze that they didn’t have before. It contained awe and even respect. It was like they finally acknowledged that he was a Ninth Stage Powerhouse himself.

However, Davis blinked and very lightly shook his head, telling them to stay quiet. To that, it seemed that the three Ninth Stage Powerhouses didn’t have any comment as they also knew that the little girl was on the brink of comprehending something, but they already knew the answer that it was Karma Laws as they have come into contact with it before.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s purple eyes were practically shining with satisfaction, his posture screaming pride as he saw the two youths. He had never heard of two youths facing a heavenly tribulation together, nor had he heard of them surviving it together!

He felt that at this moment, he couldn’t care less about the Alstreim Family’s well being as this achievement alone could rock the entire Fifty-Two Territories!

Nevertheless, it was just a momentary feeling that dwelled in his heart, making him entirely satisfied.

Mival Silverwind also looked at Davis. He could see that his body was healing quickly despite the tribulation lightning bolts wreaking havoc in his body. It made him drew a deep breath before, and when he looked at it now, it still made him gasp, especially when he was reminded of the apocalyptic might and aura of the heavenly tribulation.

He still felt a bit scared to face it despite its prowess being weaker than him.

As for Zanna Silverwind, she was no longer looking down on Davis as he was the first person to have ever crossed the heavenly tribulation, the one she would have to likely face if she ever made progress after reaching the peak of her current stage. She wholeheartedly felt that Mival Silverwind’s, her husband’s decision to gamble on this young person, wasn’t the least bit foolish! It was just like Alia Silverwind said!

This youth is exceptional than anyone they had ever seen!

As time passed in silence, Tia Alstreim gradually came back to herself. She took two steps back as she separated from Davis, seemingly coming back to herself as her pale cheeks blushed red. However, she pointed towards a side in the northern direction as she muttered.

"I... I feel that there’s some kind of danger present over there..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim, Mival Silverwind, Zanna Silverwind and Davis.

All four of their eyes shot wide as they turned to look in the direction Tia Alstreim pointed as their soul sense burst from their body as it made their way!

They didn’t even doubt the words coming out of Tia Alstreim!

Their soul senses soon crossed thousands of kilometers in an instant as it caught the vague undulations of a Peak-Level Martial Sage Expert, a hidden figure that seemed to be on the run just a few hundred kilometers away from them.

"Shit!~"

A threatened male voice echoed when he suddenly collapsed on the spot.

Almost within two seconds, the three Ninth Stage Powerhouses arrived before this black-robed figure. The pressure they already cast from far away severely hampered and restricted this man’s movements.

"How dare you all suppress me!? I’m from the Zlatan Family! Release me or face the consequences!"

The Silverwind’s expression changed!

Ancestor Dian Alstreim was just about to deal a killing blow when his hands suddenly stopped; his urge to kill violently shook as his undulations became a bit unstable before he brought it under control. His wide eyes stared at the black-robed man before a crazy smile appeared on his face.

"I’ve been repressed for so long, but a young man of my family appeared, telling me that the way I’ve been doing things were wrong with his actions. Really, an iron fist is always one needed than a passive calculating mind..."

Flaming undulations blazed while the black-robed man became aghast!

"Wait...! We can talk this out! The Zlatan Family can reward your family in exchange for having those talents raised at the Zlatan Family! It’s an honor that you could never obtain and should quickly take the opportunity of!!!"

"Hehehe..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim laughed ruthlessly, "It’s even more of an honor to kill a member of the Zlatan Family...!"

The black-robed man’s eyes shot wide as fear took root in his heart. He had yet to send anything back to his people, so even if he died, he couldn’t die like this!

"Ancestor, you can’t be reckless like this... At least, we need to hear out what kind of deal this person could make to weigh the pros and cons..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim blinked, not able to believe what came out of that child’s mouth as he was the one who told him to be determined at times. He turned to look back and saw Davis arrive with a smile on his face. In his arms laid a young girl who seemed like she was sleeping, perhaps collapsed out of exhaustion.

Once Davis arrived, he garnered the attention of the black-robed man as his eyes strangely glowed with fervor.

"As expected of a person of your caliber. You are a grand person who crossed a heavenly tribu-"

"As if a lowly character like you could change your family’s mind. If you want to make a deal, at least get your patriarch’s lazy ass out here."

Davis disdainfully spoke while the black-robed man was left speechless, unable to believe what this young man had just spoken.

However, the next second, his vision went dull as a slave seal landed on him before it did not do anything to him. Still, he remained dull, his eyes appearing lifeless as he looked at Davis.

"Master..."

The three Ninth Stage Powerhouses eyes twitched as they saw Davis enslave the black-robed man from the Zlatan Family. They wondered why he warned Ancestor Dian Alstreim not to be reckless since they believed that it might be because of the Zlatan Family’s influence, but it turns out that he didn’t want the black-robed man’s life tablet breaking as that might warn the Zlatan Family.

Truly, this powerful young brat who hadn’t even crossed his thirties was the most cautious yet thorough person that they had ever seen!

They definitely didn’t want to make an enemy out of him!
