Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1627 - Hexes

Ominous dark light shone from Davis’s index finger as it shot towards Soul Emperor Elusivemist’s forehead and entered his glabella, reaching the soul sea.

This slave seal was a new one that he found and finished comprehending on his way here, called the Obscure Ghastly Bind Slave Seal, a Low-Level Emperor Grade Soul Technique that was difficult to detect and erase once placed on someone’s soul.

He found this in Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross’s spatial ring and felt that it would be useful since he was going to enslave some people, and indeed, it did come in handy.

Quickly, he bound Soul Emperor Elusivemist’s soul with the Obscure Ghastly Bind Slave Seal, and without encountering a single resistance, he made him his slave.

"Thank you for your cooperation. With this decision of yours, you have your life to yourself."

Soul Emperor Elusivemist’s brows couldn’t help but twitch at this humiliation.

"You’re awfully polite for an evil person..."

"If you want to believe what’s written in this book, go ahead." Davis shrugged.

"Not that..." Soul Emperor Elusivemist slightly glanced at Evelynn before he looked away, afraid that he would be poisoned.

"If you’re with her, then that speaks volumes. Do you know how many she killed? More than twenty-four million wicked-path people and even innocent children. The amount of karmic sin on her is very proof of her evil deeds, and the heavenly flames that would try to punish her sins wouldn’t leave her alive when she encounters heavenly tribulation."

Davis’s brows were raised.

"And you saw nothing in me?"

"I don’t know if you’re purposefully hiding it, but the heavens can see right through you. On the other hand... she... just the pungent aura of karmic sin on her is deplorable and repulsive to me."

"I see."

Davis’s sapphire eyes appeared frigid, while Evelynn remained indifferent as if she already knew about this.

"Children or not. If the heavens deemed my first wife taking vengeance on a particular group of people for me is sinful, then I have no choice but to sever the heavens apart, don’t I?"

Soul Emperor Elusivemist’s expression became dumbfounded.

Wife? And the first wife? Didn’t the book he read just now say that the Emperor of Death’s first wife was Evelynn Alstreim, who cultivated poison arts!? It was actually her!? But how can it be!? How could she become so powerful in a short amount of time!?

Nevertheless, realizing Davis’s arrogant words, his expression twisted.

"Ri-Ridiculous! You think you can take on the heavens!?"

"That’s master for you." Davis’s searing cold voice echoed as he lightly clenched his fist.

"Ugh..." Soul Emperor Elusivemist felt his soul palpitate with pain.

The Emperor of Death’s Soul Forging Cultivation was extremely powerful for his cultivation and could even be said to be equal to him at the Mid-Level Emperor Soul Stage, but with his cultivation sealed, the slave seal essentially took over his soul, causing his cultivation to become useless against it even if his cultivation were to be unsealed again.

Soul Emperor Elusivemist kneeled from becoming limp as he raised his head.

"I... I apologize, master."

"It’s not about what I think." Davis’s expression was cold, "If something forces me into a corner, isn’t it common sense to fight back?"

Soul Emperor Elusivemist’s brows couldn’t help but twitch. Was he being mocked? He couldn’t help but utter.

"Or, master could submit like me..."

"Are you worried about me or trying to make me like you?" Davis narrowed his eyes before a smile appeared on his face, "If it’s the latter, then don’t worry. I already fell once, and without my wives there for me, I wouldn’t have been able to come back to make you subject to a fate worse than death."

"...!"

Soul Emperor Elusivemist’s yellow eyes couldn’t help but tremble before he lowered his head.

"Please forgive me... master."

"How careless of you to have already used up your first warning. I know you still feel prideful and all with your status as one of the nine- oh, five remaining Soul Emperors, but there’s no next time, you get it?"

"Yes...!"

Soul Emperor Elusivemist hastily nodded his head.

"Go regather your thoughts on how to be a good slave because I won’t tolerate any kind of disrespect from you."

"Yes..."

Soul Emperor Elusivemist felt the need to say that this was his palace but didn’t dare to do so as he miserably rose up and exited.

Davis looked at him leave before he harrumphed.

"Nadia, keep an eye on him."

"Yes."

Nadia disappeared from their gaze while Davis’s gaze was still frigid.

He was fine with him being insulted, but to insult Evelynn as deplorable and repulsive touched his reverse scale that it was, in fact, a miracle that he kept his anger in check.

Abruptly, a smile appeared on his face as he turned to look at Evelynn.

"Your prowess is terrifying, Evelynn. Your hex completely made him lose his will to fight back. Can you use that blue hex symbol on me? What’s it called? I want to experience it for myself, see if it can seal my cultivations..."

"No~"

Evelynn simply rejected as she turned her head away.

"Ah, come on, please... Only if you use it on me can I come up with countermeasures against it."

"Then I better hold on to it and keep it a secret so that I can kill you when I need to."

"Damn, I hope that you would miss me then..."

Evelynn couldn’t help but sweetly smile as she blushed. She inhaled before moving her lips behind her veil.

"I still won’t use it on you. Even if you have your reasons, it is plainly disrespectful for me to use my powers on you as your wife."

Davis couldn’t help but chuckle.

"You say that, but I bet Mo Mingzhi and Isabella would be more than happy to beat me up if I asked."

"Well, that’s them, and I’m me." Evelynn shrugged, "I didn’t like it when you forced me to use my poison on you, and you’re trying to use my hex on you, which is..."

"The same..." Davis gestured, "I understand, but sealing wouldn’t necessarily harm me, right?"

Evelynn pouted before she sighed, "Fine, I can use my Sealing Hex on you."

"What ab-"

"No."

Evelynn cut him off while Davis couldn’t help but make a sad face.

"Okay, at least explain it to me."

"My third eye contains three different hex symbols." Evelynn couldn’t help pout, "You already saw my Sealing Hex, which is the result of my third eye shining blue. The other two hex symbols are each for collapse and poison, respectively making my third eye glow in red and green hues."

"Collapse...?"

"Yes, I thought it’s a fitting name as it causes people to implode. The Collapse Hex is exclusively for killing. If you get hit, even with your High-Level Martial Overlord Stage prowess, you won’t survive, Davis. And together with my Sealing Hex that binds their cultivations, it is downright terrifying, causing the other powerhouses to stay away from me."

Davis’s sapphire eyes couldn’t help but shine with a desirous light.

"So cool...!"

Evelynn tried to appear nonchalant, but a blush still couldn’t help but appear on her face.

"What about the Poison Hex?" Davis couldn’t help eagerly ask as if he was a kid.

"The Poison Hex..." Evelynn pursed her lips, "It isn’t as powerful as the Collapse Hex, nor is it immensely binding as the Sealing Hex. However, it is versatile, capable of influencing the degree of poison imbued in that hex at all times."

"Holy...! That’s like a slave seal but better...! Have you tried using it stacked with a Sealing Hex?"

Evelynn shook her head.

"I did not need to as all I did were kill and slaughter."

"Oh..." Davis smirked, "Still, your powers make me want to be evil, alright. After all, these powers look as though as if they were designed for a tyrant..."

Evelynn couldn’t help but giggle.

"Well, the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnids were sinister spiders, whimsical and toying with their opponents, at least according to how I saw Misteltae constantly trying to tease me and take joy in my suffering."

"Misteltae?" Davis blinked.

"That’s the owner of the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Blood I have in my body..."

"Don’t worry."

Davis suddenly neared her as he pulled her to him.

"I cleansed the sinister impurity in your blood already with my overbearing color..."

He whispered into her ears, causing her to shudder ever so slightly as she recalled the scene where she was held against a tree and embraced. At the same time, Davis wrapped his arms around her waist, lightly kissing her cheek as he spoke with conviction.

"Karmic sin? Something like that doesn’t need to stay with us, so I promise that I’ll find a way that I will get rid of it from you, and even if can’t, I’ll find a way to make you much stronger in order to combat the heavenly tribulation with ease. We’re having our child once we get to the Immortal Stage no matter what, Evelynn."

"..."

"Mhm~"

Evelynn shed two drops of tears as she held him back and buried her face on his shoulder while trembling in his embrace.

But on the other hand, Davis activated Fallen Heaven’s karmic prowess.

The karmic threads were of irrelevance at this moment as he raised his head, witnessing a twenty-three or twenty-four-meter tall ominous aura that wrapped Evelynn’s body along with him through his eyes. The very atmosphere of the aura chilled him but was Evelynn able to feel this much karmic sin encasing her body?

She intrinsically comprehended Hex Laws from the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid but wasn’t Hex Laws said to be a fusion of Poison Laws and Karmic Laws?

Since it was a major branch of fusion for both Poison Laws and Karmic Laws, he felt that she could actually feel this karmic sin but hadn’t spoken about it to not worry them.

Although Evelynn may have recovered from her mental trauma from all the cheers and support he and his family gave her, its consequences in terms of karma were very real.

What he was unable to see before was clear to him now that Fallen Heaven’s level rose.

Evelynn was indeed plagued by karmic sin for the slaughter she had committed.
