Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1821: Breezing Through

Chapter 1821: Breezing Through

The ray of light caused Davis to be on guard. However, sensing that it had no offensive power but was more like a mark of achievement or something, he let it be and eventually approached him and touched his hand, imbuing it with some kind of strange energy as a dull mark of a kirins face appeared on the back of his palm.

Could it be that this energy is required to access the second trial?

His gaze traveled far, and he spotted another monument, making him wonder before he shook his head.

Not that it matters to me...

Davis stepped forward with an indifferent expression, but in truth, he was angered.

It may just have been a misunderstanding, but this kind of setup of enslaving people in the guise of helping them was going too far. He hated such people, and perhaps, this is what happens when immortals dont value the character of their inheritors. He could certainly see that lazy Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal be carefree enough to let its inheritance go to a wicked person who schemes like this.

After all, it even awarded him the Firestorm World Ode Manual on a mere whim.

Soon, he neared the twenty-meter tall monument and read the fairly old script of carved characters.

[Congratulations on passing the first trial. The second trial will test your endurance, in other words, your ability to defend. As long as you stay alive for a whole minute under the ruthless attack of the opponent whose level is one level higher than your prowess, you will gain the recognition of the monument like before and gain access to the last trial. Dont give up. I have high hopes for you if youve come halfway already.]

Ridiculous. High hopes for what? Turning me into a slave?

Davis scoffed to himself before he raised his hand and pointed at the same weak point he had coincidentally targeted before. A terrifying and ominous ray of pitch-black dark light shot through the dark atmosphere and penetrated the monument without even making a sound when the monument suddenly trembled.

*Boom!~*

It shattered like before, causing Davis to smile satisfactorily. He never felt that he had it in him to gain satisfaction from destroying things as he loved it at this moment. Amidst the dust of the crumbling monument, he saw another ray of light shoot towards him before it embedded in his hand again, causing the kirin mark to become a bit brighter.

Davis raised his hand and gave a closer look of scrutiny at it.

This isnt the slave seal, right?

His soul sense roamed over it, but he couldnt find such negative type of intricacies tied to the mark other than it connecting to the third monument before him and something else towards the end of this tiled road, which he saw with the help of invoking the karmic tendrils of Fallen Heaven.

He was a bit skeptical but wasnt that cautious towards it as he proceeded and appeared in front of the third monument.

[Very good! The fact that you arrived here means that you are far more talented and competent than I thought. Not any person could even last a single strike from an opponent a level higher than them, and even though defending is said to be easier in the lower stages, it applies the same more or less. You have proved yourself to be almost worthy, but there is still the last trial. Speed!]

[Yes, you wont be able to get far in almost everything without speed, even if you have powerful might and endurance. In this trial, you wont have an opponent. Instead, you got to escape the range catered to your cultivation base within two seconds or face death. Dont die on me now and coming this far, you can neither turn back.]

Two seconds?

Davis didnt know how many times he felt this whole tomb was ridiculous and probably rigged to only let the most talented complete. Otherwise, he couldnt see how any average genius could pass it. The number of ashes before this particular monument told him how many people had died to this third trial, probably close to a hundred.

Nevertheless, since the monuments were still working, he knew that the blood essences were not taken away yet.

He raised his hand again and shattered the core out of the monument, causing it to collapse into rubble before another light shot out of it again. It swirled in the air before shooting straight towards him and, when it neared, seeped into the back of his hand and brightened the mark even more.

However, Davis smiled suddenly, coming to notice that its aura suddenly became similar to the soul mark the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal gave him. He came to understand that this mark posed no danger as it looked like a weaker version of the soul mark.

He dropped his hand and began walking forwards when he momentarily noticed the rubble and saw that its grade was at least four levels higher than top quality Peak-Level Emperor Stage. He thought only objects that were enhanced like Legacy Artifacts could reach such a level, but it seems like ores of that level existed as well, just not as common as it seemed here.

Nevertheless, he didnt take the rubble like a miser as his two wives were richer. They had just got to become immortals themselves, and abundant wealth would follow suit.

Soon, he walked the tiled road of the dark tomb lit with lanterns before he arrived in front of a gate with the same kirin image he saw back in the trial zones entrance after surmounting the flight of stairs, except it became clear to him this was the treasury as the image was more majestic and beautiful.

Unlike the previous three locations, there was nothing written here as far as his eyes could perceive.

Davis waved his hand without dallying, and the Blazing Thunderlight Kirins soul mark flew out. When the soul mark touched the gate, the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin glowed, its features becoming more visible before it trembled and opened as the ground shook.

If I could walk past these monuments without having to take the trial, then I wouldnt have even needed to destroy them...

Davis felt a bit amused as he saw the gates open without even having to use the mark on his right hand. He didnt even need to touch the gate, which made this whole trial zone a waste and even more useless if it werent for the monuments blocking his path.

So much thought has been put out to overpower the trialist, but it didnt account for cheating, like me who can pass the trials without having to take it by destroying the monuments. Sigh...

With an amused sigh, he walked into the treasury with his hands behind his back, appearing to be full of himself with arrogance and pride.

Ahahaha! Congratulations, outer disciple! The blood essences in the altar are yours. After going through the trial in the pocket spaces, Im sure that you would be dead tired. Take some rest, and then absorb the three blood essences. Otherwise, you might die from overexerting yourself.

Tch, no one is here. Just a sound emitting stone...

Davis felt that it was a wasted opportunity for him to act pompous towards the inheritor, bragging about how he managed to overwhelm their trials and pick a fight.

Nevertheless, he smiled as he looked at the three drops of blood essences placed at the altar in front of him, each drop in a cylindrical vial, radiating an immense destructive aura, making him feel the familiarity to the destructive fire he practiced in his dantian.

The blood in his body actually boiled, wanting to have the taste of the blood essence.

Daviss smile faded as he felt like a vampire lusting after blood, first having his blood calm before he made any decisions. He turned to look around, noticing if he had missed anything. However, there only seemed to be the blood essences and nothing else.

He became a bit infuriated but was still satisfied with what he managed to find.

With a wave of his hand, he plundered the three blood essences into his spatial ring, thinking it was not safe to remain here when suddenly the tomb shook.

As expected...

Davis thought that it was such a cliche that the tomb was going to collapse, but in all the shuddering, a compartment suddenly opened, revealing a peculiar object that looked like a transparent yet crystal ball but at the same time, the ceiling above him moved, multiple times as layers of floors kept opening, revealing the red skies of the Inferno Spirit Chamber Territory.

He narrowed his eyes as a few assumptions came to his mind when he suddenly heard an unidentifiable voice again.

You have offensive power, defensive capability, and extreme speed. However, do you have... luck?

Bitch, I swear Im going to kill you when I find you...!

Davis swore as he sensed multiple presences gathering above the tomb.
