Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1589 - Becoming Spirited

Mira, who finished up clearing the wicked path cultivators within the city, returned to the central plaza and saw that Nadia was still practicing. Realizing that this Nadia had only one tail, she knew that the other one must be roaming around to patrol the entire Alstreim Family Territory.

She felt that she was unneeded at the moment and turned to look at the Purple Guest Palace before she shot ahead. Soon, she entered the Purple Guest Palace and entered the garden hall where her mistress resided.

At the same time, all the gazes within the hall fell on her, making her feel as if though she had entered a solemn atmosphere. She kept her playful mouth shut and walked in before finally standing before her mistress.

Isabella vaguely smiled as she looked at Mira. She knew that Mira had done an excellent job as they maintained some form of conversation throughout the citywide cleanup.

"Thank you for being assertive and cooperative out there, Mira. Come back and rest."

"Yes~"

Mira looked so happy before she shot back into Isabella’s soul sea.

Isabella pursed her lips, appearing to let out a sigh the next second.

Now the world came to know that she was an inheritor, so she could only brace for future troubles, but she felt more secure with Nadia together with her outside.

Before, she thought of releasing Mira during the last moment, but she knew that Mira wouldn’t have been of any help against Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross, much less against Soul Empress Merlight. Instead, Mira would’ve quickly died as soon as she came out of her soul sea.

Mira was strong as that High-Level Emperor Beast Stage Aqua Flood Dragon that died to the onslaught of the Four Dragon Families. She had a tough physical defense to go against the Dragon Families but didn’t have a formidable protection against soul attacks as she hadn’t practiced with her soul yet, unlike Nadia.

Therefore, releasing her out at that moment would’ve been foolish. Fortunately, Mira’s help became invaluable to the stability of the Alstreim Family at this moment.

In truth, Isabella could’ve won against all the Four Dragon Families’ Patriarch because her immortal quality Dragon Soul that blended with hers would’ve intrinsically suppressed all the other dragons in the region even if her own level was at the stratum of Supreme Soul Stage.

Plus, none of those Dragon Families’ Powerhouses were Soul Emperors.

That’s why when Zlatan Family’s Patriarch attacked the barrier, he intended to truly kill her at that moment, changing his target from Davis to Isabella without any hesitation. That was his agenda because he felt enormously suppressed and was willing to strike her from the back in a shameless manner when she was dealing with Soul Empress Merlight to end her life, a future threat and perhaps an Immortal.

Nevertheless, he was taken care of by her husband’s suicidal move before he even knew what hit him.

Nevertheless, against a Peak-Level Soul Empress like Old Lady Merlight, Isabella’s Dragon Soul absolutely failed to be of any help and inevitably allowed Soul Empress Merlight to take the entire Grand Alstreim City as her hostage.

No, Soul Empress Merlight wasn’t intent on taking hostages. She was intent on massacring the entire city, regardless if there were innocents, even children present or not. She intended to take out the entire city as a tribute to her grandson, but her husband quickly saw through it, no longer hesitating to use his secret techniques that killed every attacking powerhouse but that almost costed his life.

Perhaps, it already costed his life.

Isabella couldn’t tell.

Was he dead or alive? His soul was absent, and his soul sea had collapsed, leaving an empty husk of an upper dantian, but his heart was still beating around every minute, and his body didn’t go completely cold while his lower dantian and middle dantian were seemingly dormant without any movement whatsoever.

However, his heartbeat was so frail that Evelynn and the others were claiming that they couldn’t hear it, making herself think that she might be deluded.

Indeed, during this time, everyone present took time to be with Davis, holding him dear while wanting to listen to his heartbeat that would console their hearts that he was still alive, but they couldn’t hear it, no matter what, and could only believe their third sister, Isabella, taking her word for granted.

Moreover, his spatial ring was also unbound, meaning that he died or voluntarily released it before he died, of which they didn’t know which one of the two but believed that it should be the latter.

There were just too many constraints for them to even completely believe that he was even alive that they couldn’t help but remain scared.

As Isabella twirled with Davis’s unbound spatial ring with her finger while looking at his stationary body, her fingers began to tremble.

Honestly, she was scared, more than scared. She remained frightened like if she had never before in her life. She wanted him to come back alive, sincerely wished that he would sit up and tell her to come closer as he would always do.

Recalling all those intimate interactions she had with him, tears fell down her eyes again.

"Mistress, please don’t cry..."

A consoling voice echoed inside her, causing her to take a deep breath.

"I made you worry again. I’m quite useless for an inheritor. Perhaps, you are unlucky by being stuck to a person like me, Mira."

"No... Mistress is the one for me...! Without you, I wouldn’t have even been born yet!"

"Haha... that makes me happy a bit."

Isabella genuinely smiled as she wiped her tears. She raised her head, looked at the others, and saw that they needed similar words to raise their spirits. She stood up, intending to console them, when the door to this hall suddenly opened, and a black-robed woman walked in.

Everyone became alert as they wondered if Eldia, who guarded the pathway to this hall, was killed, but they then noticed that this black-robed, black-haired woman was familiar.

"Nadia...?"

Despite their thoughts being on edge, they couldn’t help but widen their eyes as they looked at Nadia’s appearance.

Her skin was still white. However, it was no longer fair but deathly pale that they could almost mistake her for having no blood.

Mo Mingzhi almost mistook her for a legendary vampire, but she was still taken aback by her beauty and was also impressed by the pattern on her forehead that appeared darkish purple.

However, the ones familiar with Nadia noticed that the change in her pattern was more than the glow. The pattern was no longer a crescent moon above a three-petal crown but a crescent moon above a five-petal crown! It also emanated her majestic King-Tier aura, which hadn’t been visible before while being disrupted by her own death energy!

"Nadia, that was fast..."

"Yes..."

Nadia’s lips slightly curved while Isabella smiled, feeling happy for her.

Indeed, it became apparent that Nadia succeeded in controlling the death energy that had been running rampant around her. With this, she would be able to near Davis and touch him to her heart’s content while not worrying the others.

Nadia didn’t stand on ceremony and quickly appeared before Davis. Her pale hands reached out to him as she touched his cheeks. Everyone blinked their eyes at this strange gesture, but then Nadia’s eyes clearly seemed to be trembling, trembling in happiness.

"Davis is alive...!"

She uttered, clearly agitated before she looked at the others who appeared dumbfounded.

"Master’s body isn’t emitting any kind of deathly aura like the corpses that I had eaten before, even after this long, so I’m assured that master hasn’t died yet!"

"Really!?"

Isabella’s smile became pronounced as her lips widened. Not only hers, but everyone’s dull face blossomed a smile that wasn’t there before.

Nadia heavily nodded her head.

"Yes! Even though I can’t sense his soul, master is still alive. However, since master is extremely skillful in the arts of concealment, I think his soul has just passively entered a state of concealment to protect himself..."

"...!"

Everyone became more assured with Nadia’s account. They held the person closest to them and rejoiced as they shed tears of joy while Isabella deeply smiled, feeling that she wasn’t deluded at all. That anxious and hopeless state of mind also disappeared from her and the others, replaced with wanting to do something useful to wake up Davis as soon as possible.

"Then that brings the question of how we can wake him up out of this strange slumber. Does anyone have a lead...?"

Isabella felt like she had asked the wrong question.

They were all just beginners, not having much knowledge, so how could they possibly know about the wondrous resources of the world? This life-attributed tree that might be what keeping Davis alive just so happens to be one of those wondrous resources, but it was not the one they were looking for.

They did not want to send Davis into reincarnation. They needed him as he was even though it may be selfish of them, and besides, his weakened soul would in no way be able to withstand the imprint of this reincarnation fruit.

"Before that, I brought her here on a whim but didn’t know what to do. I think she’s still unconscious, but she isn’t dead, is she?"

Natalya turned to look at Nadia while the latter looked at the white-haired woman before she shook her head.

"No, I don’t sense any kind of death aura from her."

Natalya relaxed, thanking the fact that Tina Roxley is still alive.

Almost everyone here saw her hair turn white upon witnessing Davis’s dying. On that note, they could see that she deeply loved him enough to feel extreme stress. Or perhaps, she was feeling unnecessary stress from the beginning because he was still not acknowledging her love, and Davis’s supposed death was the straw that broke the camel’s back?

Nevertheless, it became clear to them that this woman did truly try to devote her whole life to him after merely witnessing divination.

However, to still not wake up after fainting... did she lose her will to live?

"Bring the Alstreim Family’s most prominent physician to look after her, although I presume that this prominent physician won’t be able to know what’s wrong with Davis."

Mo Mingzhi suddenly uttered, causing everyone to look at her. She had her hand placed on her chin, appearing contemplative.

"For now, I think we should go through those spatial rings we looted. Surely, these people who rule the world we live in should know a thing or two about this strange state Davis is in, and even Davis’s spatial ring might hold the answer we are looking for, no...?"

Everyone blinked at Mo Mingzhi’s speculation before they agreed with a heavy nod, feeling that she could be right.

Sophie took out a spatial ring and called her grandpa to get the physician while Isabella waved her hands, throwing the spatial rings she looted on the floor before looking at Davis’s spatial ring that she held with care.

"Sisters, no one minds, right?"

Everyone shook their heads. They didn’t know what they would find in these spatial rings, but it felt taboo to look into their man’s spatial ring. Nevertheless, to make him wake up, they had no choice but to do so.

Isabella stared at Davis’s spatial ring. However, feeling blasphemous, she threw it towards Evelynn.

Evelynn caught the spatial ring in reflex before she appeared taken aback.

"Me?"

"If anyone deserves to open it after Davis, it’s you, the first wife..."

Isabella wryly smiled while the others nodded their heads in unison. Mo Mingzhi also felt compelled to nod because, unlike the others, she didn’t feel like she was disrespecting Davis by binding his spatial ring, although it seemed to be different for the women of this cultivation world.

"Okay..."

Evelynn appeared a bit hesitant before she took a deep breath. She then bounded Davis’s spatial ring to herself. The next moment, her soul sense began to scour all the belongings that might be of any use to awaken him.
