Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2308 Quasi

Chapter 2308 Quasi

Davis shook his head, feeling that Founder Alstreim Windstorm was too good of a man.

It was almost in the realm of unnatural, but knowing Founder had not lied, he had little to no reason to doubt him.

However, his gaze couldn’t help but fall on little Ermin, causing him to blink with some astonishment.

This child that appeared to be no older than four, radiated immortal undulations to his shock. However, it was so weak that its prowess could be measured at the Fifth or Sixth Stage, causing him to open his mouth.

"Founder, is he a born immortal?"

Founder Alstreim Windstorm couldn’t help but pridefully smile, "He is indeed an immortal child."

Instantly, little Ermin attracted Evelynn and others’ attention, especially Isabella and Shirley’s, as they gawked. Wasn’t this child even stronger than theirs?

They knew of a child being born as an immortal as they heard Myria was one from Davis but actually seeing one, they couldn’t help but wonder if they should’ve waited before they had a child with Davis. After all, it seemed to be such a boost that practically brought envy from all mortals.

However, Shirley inwardly shook her head, knowing that she didn’t even have the opportunity to choose as she did it to save Davis.

"It’s called the Quasi-Immortal Stage. It’s not an official stage as it’s considered the immortal amalgamation of the mortal realm, visible only in children who are born with an immortal vessel that’s slowly forming from the moment they are born till they turn sixteen. The moment they become sixteen years old, their immortal vessel would’ve formed, causing them to successfully step into the Immortal Stage."

"..."

Davis and the others didn’t know what to say.

It was no wonder Myria bragged that she was born an immortal. Turn sixteen, and voila, you’re a full-fledged immortal. Moreover, the immortal child was already at the level of the Fifth Stage when being a mere four years old, an age not suitable for cultivation.

They could all hear their mortal selves crying.

Perhaps they found themselves in an awkward situation; they unceremoniously returned their gazes back to the reunited couple.

Ancestor Cornelia and Klade seemed to still hold each other, unable to leave as they seemed to relish the time they missed.

"How did that happen to Ancestor Cornelia’s husband?" Lea couldn’t help but ask as she secretively pointed at her face, causing Founder Alstreim Windstorm to sigh.

"Klade used his forty percent of his blood essence to kill a Level One Immortal King Vacuous Beast, which is a feat in itself as he was a Level Nine Immortal Beast. However, he also got splashed with its toxic blood in order to protect my family, causing him to turn out like that. The blood poison seeped in and contaminated his immortal core, essentially crippling him while his vitality is spent and corrupted, unable to regenerate."

Lea’s brows furrowed in shock.

Ancestor Cornelia’s husband had reached Level Nine Immortal Beast Stage in a short ten thousand years. That was a feat beyond ordinary people, much less an individual with a family to care for. This told her that Ancestor Cornelia’s husband did indeed work hard, perhaps even waiting for Ancestor Cornelia to ascend, but she never showed up, thinking that her husband had died.

"Although they have reunited... they’re both fated to die in a few hundred years, although Klade might die earlier. I can only take solace in the fact that they can die together happily rather than dying alone, full of longing and regret."

Founder Alstreim looked away while possessing a solemn expression while his family also seemed to lower their heads. It seemed that they were also grateful to Klade for saving them, but they didn’t have a way to save them, causing them to feel some guilt.

Hearing Founder Alstreim’s words, Lea’s tears once again emerged in her eyes as she couldn’t help but look at Davis. However, Davis opened his mouth.

"Wait, can’t they perform nirvanic rebirth?"

"They can, but they’re not true Phoenixes but a mixed species between a Vermilion Bird and Fire Phoenix. Because of their mixed blood, two Burning Phoenixes are required to perform nirvanic rebirth, but as they sacrifice their soul essence but even then, the chances are extremely less as they would fail because their flames possess more destructiveness than phoenix flames of nirvanic nature."

"One of them has to die for the other, not to mention that the chances of even one of them surviving is abysmal since one is an immortal beast and the other is still a mortal beast. Even if they have a chance, only her husband can extend her life, but would she dare accept it, live a life without him?"

"It’s more likely they’ll welcome their deaths together. Look at how happy they are..."

Founder Alstreim Windstorm gestured at them before he caressed little Ermin’s head, who already seemed to have gone asleep in his grandpa’s embrace. In fact, it was Founder who made little Ermin sleep as he didn’t want the innocent soul to hear all this tragedy.

Davis and the others returned their gazes to Ancestor Cornelia, where Klade flicked her forehead with his finger.

"You’re old but are still the beauty who shook heaven and earth of the Burning Phoenix Ridge. Stop crying, Cornelia. Otherwise, I might die sooner from heartache..."

"You... how did this happen...?" Ancestor Cornelia moved back her head, "How are you even alive? I saw your ashes in the Phoenix Ascendance Ground. There was no way I could’ve mistaken it... so please don’t be an illusion..."

"Silly..." Klade couldn’t help but chuckle.

"At the ninth strike of my heavenly tribulation, I was indeed going to die. However, at the seventh strike, my body started to undergo a mutation, causing me to turn into a Fire Phoenix."

"What...? You’re still a Burning Phoenix...?" Ancestor Cornelia’s face became bewildered, thinking what he said didn’t make sense.

"Indeed. I did die once as a Fire Phoenix, Cornelia."

However, her husband’s words quickly caused her to realize something, "Nirvanic Rebirth..."

"Yes." Klade heavily nodded his head, "I died at the ninth heavenly lightning strike, leaving my ashes behind in the Phoenix Ascendance Ground. However, my soul rebirthed at the spot, causing me to be reborn with my body, except I was a Burning Phoenix instead of a Fire Phoenix, and because I was unable to move, the ascendance phenomenon somehow brought me into the South Ascendance Monument."

"All I could assume was that my soul hadn’t completely turned into one of Fire Phoenix, so when I underwent a Nirvanic Rebirth, it instead rejuvenated my innate bloodline, which is that of a Burning Phoenix."

"...!?"
