Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2403 Traversing The Spatial Region

Chapter 2403 Traversing The Spatial Region

*Whoosh!~*

Two figures rushed into the distance, one being chased and the other giving chased. The latter was a white-robed man, his expression brimming with a bit of coldness.

*Bzzzz!~*

An oppressive aura crushed down on the silhouette that was being chased. That figure instantly felt himself being restricted by some fearsome spatial undulations, unable to believe what had just happened as it was not darkness energy. His wind energy that was surging to his feet became dull, drastically decreasing his speed before he was caught in place.

Layers of spatial energy surged around him and invoked a spatial lock on him, causing him to be unable to move.

"Break!"

He screamed as his undulations surged out from his pores, wind energy threatening to pierce through the spatial lock cast on him. However, he was shocked to find that his wind energy couldn’t pierce through.

What kind of spatial lock was this!?

His expression turned into one of despair, thinking that the Zyrus Family’s individual had caught up to him. However, a white-robed man entered his view, causing him to blink, but he still felt his heart turn faint as this was not a feat capable of any top genius.

"Now then." Davis’s eyes flashed with killing intent as he looked at the silver-haired man, "I have a question for you. Did you want to escape by leading that trash to me, buying you some time, or was it pure coincidence?"

"It- it’s a coincidence...!"

"..."

Davis’s eyes narrowed, causing the silver-haired man to shake his head ever so lightly because he was still bound. He felt despair, knowing that it wasn’t a reasonable excuse. Moreover, his eyes appeared frightened, appearing to have never experienced killing intent in his life.

"I swear! It’s a pure coincidence!" His teeth clattered as he tried to attest to his innocence.

And indeed, Davis didn’t find any lies in his statement, making him befuddled before he raised one of his brows.

"You don’t have immortal crystals to pay up that trash?"

"Ashamedly so..."

The silver-haired put his head down, causing Davis to know that he was right on the mark, making him think rogue cultivators were poor alright, sometimes having to spend every single penny to learn something that would save their lives while traversing the world and making a name for themselves. However, he shook his head.

"Do you want to lose an arm or receive a slap?"

"..." The silver-haired man’s eyes trembled, raising his head as his expression shone in a pleading smile, "... a slap..."

*Paah!~*

Davis swung his hand as his palm struck the silver-haired man, sending him flying. The latter let out a miserable shriek as he went ahead and crashed into a spatial rock filled with spatial-attribute ores that could be turned into spatial rings.

However, those didn’t amount to many immortal crystals, so the ones who had already arrived didn’t have time to bother about it right now.

But despite letting out a dying scream, the silver-haired man sat up and touched his cheek. Although he felt the heat and knew that an imprint would’ve certainly formed, the slap didn’t injure his internals, nor had his soul quiver.

"If you feel reluctant, you can look for me anytime. Let’s play fair if you don’t want yourself to be killed unfairly."

Davis dropped a few words and left unceremoniously, leaving the silver-haired man stunned. He could only gaze at the back of the white-robed man, his mind failing to catch up to the events that were happening.

Just who was this rogue cultivator?

They were at the same cultivation base, so how could he dominate him like he was an immortal? Why hadn’t he heard of him before?

Many questions swirled in his head but looking at another white-robed man pass through, he couldn’t help but quickly ask.

"Fellow cultivator, what happened back there?"

"That Zyrus fellow was obliterated."

"...!"

The silver-haired man’s brows raised in shock while Rayleigh still had his eyes wide, unable to comprehend how Mo Tian could be so powerful.

"Truly?" The silver-haired felt his head spin. Even if one had the strength to kill that Zyrus Family’s people, would they actually kill them?

That was like kicking a beehive, bringing about the destruction of oneself.

"What else did you expect since you saw Mo Tian alive?"

Rayleigh shrugged and quickly shot towards Mo Tian, wanting to catch up with him. Now he knew why the latter disdained to team up, but it only fueled his resolve to stick to Mo Tian so that he could gain more.

Quickly, he caught up with Mo Tian as the latter no longer seemed to be in a rush, appearing to be taking his time looking at the surroundings.

Davis saw that he was not in this same environment anymore. The surface that carried minute amounts of earth energy was no longer present; instead, he was at a cliff where the abyss was beneath. He couldn’t see or understand what the depth meant, making him curious.

"Senior Mo Tian, don’t jump into the abyss. You will die."

"Why?"

Davis turned to look back at Rayleigh, his brows twitching at being addressed senior. Wasn’t it fellow cultivator just a few seconds ago?

"Hehem~" Rayleigh composed his voice, "I don’t know, but it’s said that invisible spatial storms buffet the depths. Every hundred years, when this secret realm opens, there are hundreds of rogue cultivators who die to the spatial storms here. After all, the path ahead is filled with holes and crevices that taking a single step wrong will lock you in place and drag you down to reincarnation."

"So the correct path is in Zyrus Family’s hands?"

"Indeed. However, since we’re always late by a margin, we’re unable to catch up to them. However, I really hope that the Void Dust Tree Fruit is present. Senior really has a good chance of snatching that acclaimed treasure."

"You want me to go against the Zyrus Family?"

Rayleigh slyly smiled, "Senior already went against them, so I believe it’s inevitable that you’ll go all the way unless you want to kill every single one of us to hide the fact, which I believe is not according to senior’s sense of righteousness since you let go of that wind cultivator."

Davis couldn’t help but silently chuckle, but as he did so, he took out a few trash items from his kill’s spatial ring, such as the status plate that could be tracked, and threw them all into the abyss, discarding them. He really had to give this guy credit for collecting more than two million immortal crystals as payment for letting the rogue cultivators enter, but it now all belonged to him.

Furthermore, there were also initially two million with his kill, so with that, he obtained four million immortal crystals in total and a few other life-saving talismans that were at Early Immortal Grade. He also obtained some karmic sin, but it was at the first tier, so he didn’t even bother with how much he accumulated.

It posed no change to the amount of karmic sin he possessed. However, he did absorb the soul essence and intended to refine it later, inducing darkness comprehension clouds to comprehend Darkness Laws.

Surely, the intrinsical level of comprehension from the Ghastly Cloud Physique’s descendants would be a few levels higher than the comprehension of normal Darkness Laws.

"What do you mean by the Void Dust Tree Fruit is present?" Still, Davis asked a doubt.

"Oh, that... Although the secret realm opens every hundred years, it’s not a given that the Void Dust Tree Fruit will be available because if it’s not harvested at the right time, particularly within seven days after it matures, it will turn to dust and become void dust that is scattered beneath the Void Dust Tree. Void dust also helps comprehend Space Laws, but that isn’t the price. Instead, it’s rumored that the time of opening and the time of maturity has intersected perfectly, making it so that it is possible to obtain the Void Dust Tree Fruit."

Rayleigh explained sincerely, causing Davis to nod, "I see."

He jumped into the gaping void and traversed the empty space, feeling certain invisible spatial planks that existed above the abyss. His foot touched nothing, making him appear as though he was going to plummet to his death, but he was able to jump again and move beyond, arriving on the other side.
