Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1995: Reassessing Again

Chapter 1995: Reassessing Again

Davis knew for a fact that Ellia, or even Myria for that matter, could not possibly match him in the Eighth Stage Segment.

Unlike him, who was at Peak-Level Law Sea Stage and Peak-Level Martial Sage Stage with perfect uniqueness, she was at Low-Level Law Sea Stage and Peak-Level Martial Sage Stage. Even if she was slightly more powerful than him in Body Tempering Cultivation, for the record, she would run out of energy first unless she also decided to use her Soul Forging Cultivation in a suppressed manner.

However, if she did use Soul Forging Cultivation, he could also return the favor.

Therefore, she was essentially disadvantaged against him in this kind of battle.

What he was wary of was her true Soul Forging Cultivation’s prowess. Moreover, to an old monster like Myria, he was sure that her methods and skill in Soul Forging Cultivation was vastly higher than him from what he had seen her restoring the life of an armament spirit through some kind of transfer while also easily removing a seal from the Soaring Emperor Sword.

However, at this moment, his views on her prowess flipped again.

To be using two Greater Laws in tandem, her prowess has exceeded his current usage that he could only match it if he used his Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation in combination. At that time, he would be able to easily defeat her. However, that wasn’t what he wished for because that would mean he lost an exchange again even though he may have won the battle.

Davis took a deep breath.

The crimson-gold flames receded like the retreating tide, disappearing from his surroundings. The black lightning was the same, absorbed into his body. However, electrifying sparks rushed out from Davis’s body, turning into long strands that twisted and turned in the skies.

They did have the images of kirin like the previous lightning, but their color was also slightly different. Bluish-black lightning swirled around Davis. If people looked closely, they could also see a white tint in between the bluish layer of the black lightning strands.

"...!?"

Countless hearts skipped a beat as they saw this scene and felt the sanctimonious aura of those arcs of lightning. It was as though it was heralding the end of the world along with the strange spatial phenomenon on the other side that seemed to have come to a slow yet fast state.

The people couldn’t understand heads or tails, but the expression of the Mandate Emperor and the two others changed.

That was... heavenly lightning!

Ellia’s pupils were also constricted, but she sighed. She knew that this was the case when he first landed here, but once again, confirming that it was truly heavenly lightning, she didn’t know what to say. Inwardly, Myria was also in a similar state of shock.

That strand of heavenly lightning wasn’t a fake but truly something he could control.

Her impression of Davis rapidly shot through the clouds that she couldn’t help but reassess him again from Ellia’s vision.

"Myria, you can’t stop me from saying." Echoed Ellia’s determined voice.

"Go ahead. I won’t stop you."

Hearing Myria’s nonchalant tone, Ellia felt relieved before she sent a soul transmission to Davis.

"Prince Davis, I don’t know what method you used to fool the heavens, but since you choose to eat a part of its powers, beware of its karmic burden striking you in your heavenly tribulation."

Ellia inwardly sighed. Since he chose to inform him, his heavenly tribulation would only get harder. However, it was better than him being in the unknown since he could make appropriate preparations.

"I’m sorry, Myria..."

Moreover, since she touched upon and leaked some heavenly secrets, she would have to face a stronger heavenly tribulation too.

"It’s fine. It’s more likely you’ll make a huge fuss in our soul sea if I refused." Myria’s flat voice fell.

Ellia sweetly smiled behind her veil but in that smile was also one of sorrow.

Was she being too selfish?

’Karmic burden, what the hell is that!?’

On the other hand, Davis became dumbfounded, but he didn’t ponder much on it, neither did he ask her since she wouldn’t tell him. Her eyes looked like she had already made a huge sacrifice by telling him.

He noted this in his heart and raised his hands, directing his palms as his fingers moved.

"Ravenous Thunderlight Claw!"

*Rumble!~*

The heavenly lightning turned into two three-clawed monstrosities as they pierced through the air, heading towards the spatial anomaly as they struck.

The moment the heavenly lightning kirin claws entered the spatial attack, it abruptly became slower, the temporal zone affecting it that even the people could see the structure of the heavenly lightning clearly. Such clash caused their eyes to widen into two bulbs on the verge of popping out.

*Bang!~*

The space rumbled, and space-time attack collapsed, unable to stop the heavenly lightning that kept on seared into the very essence of the attack.

Ellia’s pupils reflected the apocalyptic scene of spatial collapse before she closed her eyes, knowing that she had lost.

One reason was that she couldn’t control Time Laws properly here, and the other was Davis’s heavenly lightning allowed his prowess to reach near two levels higher than Peak-Level Law Rune Stage, causing her attack to directly shatter.

*Bzz!~*

Abruptly, a blinding light struck the heavenly lightning kirin claws, causing them to disappear. It was as if the heavenly lightning had disappeared.

Davis looked at his attack that was destroyed and heaved a sigh of relief.

[I can’t control this properly, so don’t hesitate to use your soul in case something happens, Ellia.]

Only after sending a soul transmission did he launch his attack, so her usage of soul force didn’t surprise him, but the people were dumbfounded.

They had previously seen that her Soul Forging Cultivation was at Peak-Level King Soul Stage, so they weren’t surprised, but what was surprising was it was strong as her Body Tempering Cultivation, perhaps even more. Otherwise, would she have been able to strike down that terrifying lightning attack even if it was weakened?

"Hiss!~"

They sucked in a cold breath of air, feeling their body shivering as though all the heat in the atmosphere had disappeared.

"I admit defeat."

Ellia shook her head. Inwardly, Myria narrowed her brows, but she didn’t say anything, but on the other hand, the people became dumbfounded. Just now, hadn’t she revealed her powerful Soul Forging Cultivation prowess? How come she was admitting defeat?

’Oh, Fairy Myria knows that she couldn’t beat the Emperor of Death in a soul battle...’

They all instantly thought, but Davis was equally dumbfounded as they were before.

With his own Peak-Level King Soul Stage Cultivation combined with the usage of Death Laws, they were an equal match. If they fought, she would definitely have the advantage with her tricks and knowledge.

However, since he possessed Death Laws, he had a sort of blind confidence that he could win because the people he fought were terrified of it, unable to use their full strength. He felt that Myria, or even Ellia for that matter, would be different, for one of them was from the immortal world.

’Does she want to hide her Soul Forging Cultivation that deeply?’

Davis thought but didn’t say anything. He inwardly sighed, feeling that Ellia’s response to his question was lacking. How could he believe her words this way? He was unconvinced.

However, without saying anything else, Ellia turned around and left. However, just when she floated a few steps forwards, she halted, becoming stiff. She then turned around, looking at Davis with a cold glint in her eyes.

"I, for one, disapprove of her final action. She still hadn’t used her full prowess even while suppressing herself."

Davis’s brows narrowed, knowing that it was Myria just by the nonchalant tone of her voice.

"I know." He blankly replied.

It wasn’t as if he wasn’t suppressing himself, so what was her gripe?

Myria’s eyes shimmered.

"Since you know, let’s have a rematch."

"Rematch?" Davis’s lips curled. He didn’t think Myria was competitive.

Or was she doing it for Ellia?

He certainly didn’t believe so but still possessed some doubts as Myria didn’t interfere all this time.

Why did she choose to interfere only after Ellia accepted defeat?

"However, it won’t be for the Eighth Stage Segment." Myria expressed, "There’s no need for a Ninth Stage Segment either. Let’s just battle it out for the first place like we would in the end. After all, by being here, all we’re doing is wasting time."

"Well, I have my family and wives to entertain and have fun with, but I guess for a lonely person like you, it is indeed a waste of time. In any case, I concur. I haven’t received the answer I wanted to hear, so let’s settle this once and for all."

Myria didn’t seem to bother about the insult as she looked somewhere else, into the distance.

"This place isn’t fine. Let’s go somewhere else."

"Alright."

Davis didn’t reject. If they fought here, the entire New Era Battle Arena would collapse, causing millions to die.

Myria waved her hand, opening a spatial vortex that was extremely stable while Davis’s lips twitched.

If he didn’t do the same, he was going to lose face.

Smiling, he raised his hand and was about to forcefully tear open space with his minor comprehension where he sensed Myria’s other end of the spatial vortex appearing when a furious voice echoed.

"Halt!"

Myria was just about to step into her spatial vortex, uncaring if Davis would follow her or not, but this shout attracted her attention. Davis also turned to look when he saw the Mandate Emperor abruptly possess a formation core in his hand, standing along with the two other Emperors.

A blinding barrier shrouded the entire New Era Battle Arena, causing space to be locked in a resplendent white semi-sphere. It was a grand formation whose prowess reached two levels higher than Peak-Level Ninth Stage.

"What’s the meaning of this?"

Davis’s voice was cold. Didn’t he tell them to not interfere?

However, the Mandate Emperor waved his hand.

"Emperor of Death, don’t fall for her trap. She’s the source of the Calamity Light."

"...!?"
