Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2014: Disagreement

Chapter 2014: Disagreement

Davis went silent for a few seconds, his sapphire eyes appearing even more exhausted as they lost some of their luster. He didn’t doubt that Myria would lie like this as he could feel her plight and sense of urgency. It was no wonder she decided not to pay much attention to her surroundings, doing whatever she wanted, quickly accumulating power.

Going solo was indeed the best way to get stronger, but Myria having an amicable relationship with the Mystic Ice Sect gradually became a weak point that he could even exploit, which he couldn’t help but feel that it was ironic, causing him to understand a bit about what kind of person she is.

However, the fact that strong enemies were going to appear soon didn’t help him much, only causing him to feel immense pressure and distress. However, he did even not possess a shred of hopelessness, but his spirits only rose with momentum.

"It’s just two stages. I’m sure we can surpass a stage easily, and in doing so, we could-"

"Immortals have nine levels to cross to reach the next stage." Myria lightly giggled.

It was as though a bucket of cold water was poured on Davis again when he heard Myria interrupting him.

Nine levels and a difference of two stages, meaning a difference of eighteen levels at the very least.

Suddenly, Davis didn’t know if she should laugh or cry but heard Myria continue.

"The very first level is naturally called the Immortal Foundation Stage. Moreover, there’s also the Transcendent Stage of the Transcendent Path that humans have adapted greatly to, far more than the Immortal Path."

Davis’s eyes sharply constricted.

Transcendent Path... he was hearing it again. Moreover, the first stage of Immortal Path was called the Immortal Foundation and possessed nine levels?

He felt immensely curious about it, but he wouldn’t incline from the point at this moment.

"So what if that idiot who’s descending is two stages higher? Doesn’t the laws here forcefully ascends immortals and suppress them if they try to stay? Didn’t you sense that we were both restricted when our prowess reached five levels above Peak-Level Ninth Stage? If that’s the case, wouldn’t that idiot just be more suppressed?"

Davis recalled that Tian Cangjie should also be at a similar level but didn’t he get utterly ruined by the master of this world?

Myria narrowed her brows at Davis.

Indeed, she did feel suppressed when her prowess hit the ceiling of this layer. If it were not for that, she was fairly confident that she would’ve won. Nonetheless, she also understood that if Davis had used that damned treasure’s ability to kill her, it would be directly over for her.

She knew the only reason he didn’t kill her with that damned treasure was for Ellia, and that was why she felt like she had to convince him.

"Of course, there’s always the chance that the master of this world could suppress that idiot to death. Or, there’s also the chance that the master of this world wouldn’t do anything about it, the same as us since we’re both alive even now. In any case, I won’t leave my life or Ellia’s in the hands of others. If you want Ellia, prove yourself worthy of protecting Ellia by giving me that treasure. I’ll take all the burdens that come with using that treasure, and that’s the only way we can cooperate."

As the one who swallowed defeat, Myria had nothing to capitalize upon, so she could only come up with this weak argument that made Davis purse his lips.

He didn’t say that his soul had somehow undergone a change after intrinsically fusing with Fallen Heaven. He wondered what she would say if he revealed that taking Fallen Heaven away would possibly result in his death. Would she still ask him the treasure, telling him to die?

A faint sense of curiosity did appear in his heart, but he shook it away.

"Don’t bother with asking that treasure. My stance remains unchanged. Either you do as I say, or I’m going to force you to do as I say."

"You!" Myria’s calm expression faltered into one of anger, "Why don’t you understand? Do you not want to live with the people you love? Even if that damned treasure kills me after using it, I’ll still be revived from having the Eternal Life Soul, but you won’t be able to. You have no true master, isn’t that right?"

Davis raised his brows, deeply looking at her before he nodded.

"That damned treasure is the one you pretend that’s your master, no?"

Myria asked, and even Ellia became astonished. She didn’t have Myria’s experience, so she didn’t consider this possibility at all. However, the both of them shuddered at this mention because that damned treasure didn’t have a spirit before, meaning in all those years that Myria entered countless reincarnations, that apex treasure had freaking grown a spirit!

That meant the treasure could’ve only grown stronger, but somehow, it was in this young man’s hands who had his own story of reincarnation, which they found a bit difficult to believe.

Was this treasure fake? It couldn’t be. That reincarnation energy she saw Davis use couldn’t be faked. Was it a lesser variant or a replication? She inwardly shook her head again. Then, what was the master of this world planning to be exact, giving that damned treasure to this young man, even allowing it to pose as his master?

"Is that why you can’t give it to me?" Myria continued, her lips quivering as she thought of all the possibilities.

Davis pursed his lips.

Even if it weren’t for the soul fusion, he wouldn’t give Fallen Heaven away. All his achievements could be attributed to Fallen Heaven, even if some were his own accomplishments. He believed that once Fallen Heaven was stripped away from him, he would be nothing but a floating ant on a leaf in a sea, unable to even shift the trajectory of fate in some other direction.

At that point, even if the dangers he faced were considerably less, he could still be crushed by other people. With Fallen Heaven, he felt more assured of facing risks and dangers. Even he couldn’t believe it, but this was the trust he possessed in Fallen Heaven. It had undoubtedly helped him many times.

If Fallen Heaven was a person, then it would be the person he felt indebted to the most.

Eventually, Davis shook his head. He sharply stared at Myria and moved his lips, "You want the treasure for revenge. I want the treasure for unimpeded growth and safety. Many people tried getting this treasure before me and ended up dead, making me the owner. When I end up dead, you can have it. Until otherwise, stay your hand. These are my last words to you about this matter. If you dare to raise it again, I’ll go all out against you, separating you and Ellia with that damned treasure before finally killing you."

Myria’s brows were narrowed as she looked at his ominous gaze. She felt that he wasn’t kidding at all. Just as she was about to reply, her consciousness felt disturbed.

"Hmph! I’ve been silent all this while, but you two go on about killing each other." Myria’s expression changed as she indignantly spoke, "If this goes on, fine, I’ll kill myself first so you two can kill each other without reserve."

"...!?"

Both Davis and Myria were shaken. Myria instantly saw that Ellia was trying to destroy her own consciousness while Davis also figured it out in an instant as indistinct yet destructive soul undulations radiated out of their body similar to what he would feel one self-destructed their dantian.

"Ellia, stop!"

He hurriedly captured Ellia’s head and planted his finger on her forehead again. Myria’s expression changed inwardly as she felt Davis’s invaded her soul sea but looked at Ellia, who tried to implode her consciousness as she curled into a fetal position, and what Myria did even startled Davis. She somehow borrowed his soul force and struck Ellia’s consciousness.

Ellia shook in the soul sea and disappeared. Her consciousness collapsed, causing her to faint.

Davis saw this spectacle and relaxed. As long as Ellia didn’t destroy her soul imprint manifestation, she would survive.

"Take your hands off me."

Myria slapped Davis’s hand away and took a few steps back, her pupils contracting while anger was visible on her face. She clenched her teeth so hard that her blood leaked out of her lips before she viciously looked at Davis.

"Fine! I’ll cooperate with you, but if your inexperienced actions cause Ellia to die in the calamity, I swear I’ll do everything in my power to revive you and destroy you until your very soul ceases to exist!"

With a flick of her sleeves that was filled with determination, Myria directly collapsed on the ground like a puppet that had its strings cut.

"..."

Davis blinked thrice as he saw her fallen body on the green path of land, only then realizing that this white witch overused her psyche to save Ellia.

He stayed silent for a while, but Myria didn’t wake up. Abruptly, he couldn’t help but wonder about her words.

Revive and destroy him? Revive?

"Hiss."

Davis took a deep breath, "So it’s possible...?"

If anyone said it, he wouldn’t have believed it, but for a person who seemed to have mastered Reincarnation Laws, her words naturally carried immense weight.

As for her threat, he didn’t bother about it as he would give her the same treatment if Ellia died.

While it was unknown if Myria gave a thought to him and his worries, it was extremely clear that she cared about Ellia, and it was certainly exploitable, but he wasn’t willing to do such things since he also immensely cared about Ellia. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be leaving a threat like Myria to remain alive.

However, Ellia certainly did use both of their feelings to force them to come to an agreement by threatening to kill herself.

’That lass... she’s like Natalya...’

Davis rubbed his forehead, alleviating some of the pain in his head over Ellia’s foolish action and some other matters. He didn’t know if he should thank Ellia for this or berate her. Nonetheless, his soul force had been restored to thirty percent, but that was it. There were no more soul essences left for him to refine, but there were plenty of comprehension clouds now which he could later use on himself and his women.

The soul sea was a boundless space. He couldn’t describe it as virtual, but he couldn’t define it as infinite either. Its size depended on the stage, and his soul sea was massive, so it could host many things, even hundreds of magical beasts if he wanted to.

However, he had no plans of hosting so many guests in his soul sea.

"Nadia, pick up Ellia. Let’s return."

He thought of picking Ellia up himself, but it would become a problem if Myria suddenly became awake to see his action and misunderstood it. Nadia nodded towards Davis without uttering a word and grabbed Ellia with her lush black tail.

As Davis covered her ears with his soul force, she was unable to hear some parts of what they conversed, but since Davis said that it was dangerous as the heavens would strike her heavily during heavenly tribulation, she didn’t dare to be playful either.. Before long, they set off, returning to the Alstreim Family Territory.
