Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1227 - Moving To Hunt

In the Lightning Sea, a spherical array of viridian lightning surrounded a person. The pure white light emitting from his body attracted these luminescent strands of viridian lightning, protecting from the deadly blue-colored strands that would strike to kill a foreign entity as long as they are present in this space!

Davis made his way out of the Lightning Sea and entered the sealed space again, but the moment he came out, Nadia jumped out of his soul sea, and her dark energy began to encase her along with Davis as they became concealed again.

Last time, due to the abrupt detachment he had with everything outside, he panicked and failed to notice that Ezekiel Alstreim's soul sense had caught sight of an anomaly that is him. However, this time, he was aware of that and used Nadia's concealment to travel to a distance where Ezekiel Alstreim wouldn't be able to sense him and entered the Lightning Sea.

However, his heart sank as he noticed that the connection he had with the Solitary Soul Avatar didn't return. At this point, he knew he had to leave, or so many people, especially Evelynn, wouldn't stop worrying about him. He made his way back, thinking that he had to exit the Lightning Sea so that he could let them... let her rest or cultivate in ease.

His journey was the same when he had arrived here, not fraught with difficulties as the luminescent strands of viridian lightning protected him. However, the moment he exited the ninth stage lightning space was when his connection with the Solitary Soul Avatar abruptly returned, causing him to know that the space between the entrance of the ninth stage lightning and the entrance to the sealed space was where a formation could've existed that cut off their connections with the outside.

Nevertheless, since nothing else untoward happened at that moment, he contacted Evelynn. He informed her that the Solitary Soul Avatar would tell her everything as he had connected with the Solitary Soul Avatar. It had come to know what he had experienced during this time and vice versa. However, it seemed like he had completely lost connection with his soul body that it didn't stop dissipating.

He wasn't bothered about that since the Solitary Soul Avatar was back in the Purple Guest Palace. He then contemplated for a moment, thinking that this Lightning Sea didn't impede him in any way. After coming this far with nothing attempting to impede him, not even that so-called formation that cut the connection he had with the outside, he felt that it was most likely confirmed that he could get out without a problem.

That cleared one of his headaches, so he mused again for a moment before making his way back to the sealed space, becoming encased in Nadia's concealment as he got out of the Lightning Sea.

"Mhm... I sense no other soul sense here... It's quite safe..." Davis spoke to Nadia, but he still didn't command her to remove the concealment.

"Master, my doppelganger has already shot past the Purple Thunderflame Island with Sophie..."

"That's good to hear..." Davis smiled, "Just be aware of those randomly spawning Lightning Sea in the rough seas of the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago, and you'll make it back to the Grand Alstreim City in one piece. I'm sure the Solitary Soul Avatar is also on its way, so you won't get caught in those detection formations placed there by chance..."

"Oh... You won't be able to relay this information to your doppelganger now that we're inside the sealed space, huh?"

"No need for that, Master. I had similar things considered, so Master can rest assured that my doppelganger won't make a mistake." Nadia smiled.

"I never doubted your capacity to traverse above the seas anyways as you have saved us numerous times. Hahaha!" Davis laughed and rubbed her fur as he felt heartened.

Nadia's Dark Tail Doppelganger Technique was a unique ability of the Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf Species, but even in her Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf form, she was able to keep using that technique. What's more, it was completely unique in the sense that it happens to be similar to his Solitary Soul Avatar, where it can maintain consciousness even when the connection with the main body was severed.

However, considering that his Solitary Soul Avatar Technique had more limitations compared to her unique species technique, her unique skill was much more valuable, but it made sense since she was a magical beast who was blessed by the heavens with bloodline memories and fast growth. The only matter limiting her and other magical beasts were their own blood, bloodline shackles.

Honestly, he had declared that he would aid Nadia in mutating to the next species rank again, but he didn't have the slightest clue on how he should proceed other than try feeding her the minute amounts of death-like energy in his soul sea. However, the energy he provided was so subtle that he doubted anything could change in her.

Unable to think of a way, he pushed it to the back of his mind, telling himself that he would start working on how to aid Nadia's growth after all this was over. He had a crapload of work to do, making him miss the times where he was carefree for those three years in the Loret Capital, living a life of debauchery with Evelynn all night long.

Hearing her melodious voice after a month vainly made him thirsty for dual cultivation for no reason, but since there were things to do, he stopped being horny and moved.

"Master, where are we going?"

"To the enemy base, of course..."

Nadia widened her eyes as she listened to her master's strange tone, "To scout?"

"Hehe, no... We are going to kill them..." Davis's eyes flashed with killing intent.

Nadia grinned, "Can I eat them?"

"Sure... You can eat all of them if you want, but only you would be visible to the others while I would remain concealed. Not one of those Eighth Stage Experts will be able to find me anyway..." Davis coldly laughed.

Nadia had no problem with that arrangement, nor did she think much about it. Her thoughts stayed on those peak-level eighth-stage experts, who would be able to provide her the nutrition she wanted as their dantians were full of energy waiting for her to devour and refine!

What's more, her growth rate would be faster than eating magical beast meat and delicious to her taste buds! She couldn't help but start drooling once she imagined it.

Davis's decision wasn't sudden. He had thought about it a while ago when he sneakily left the underground lava cave to come here to inform Evelynn about the situation. He had done it already, but before that, he had considered the possibilities.

Whatever Immortal Inheritance it was, he had the confidence to clear it, but once he had cleared it, what if the Lightning Sea's strange nullification effect ceases to exist and everyone becomes able to contact the outside world with their messaging talismans? Such a scenario wasn't desirable for him at all, especially for the Alstreim Family members here who had already offended the Infernal Lightning Palace.

Surely, a wicked path power wouldn't take this lying low and instead send experts to eradicate the entire Alstreim Family. That's why he had considered killing them all. However...

'What if I am unable to clear it... No, not even able to find the entrance to the Immortal Inheritance?' Davis considered this possibility as well.

'In that case, by killing all of the enemies here, I would've done a service to the Alstreims here by letting them live peaceful lives in this place...'

Davis had no idea to let them out, at least not until he can be assured that they would not disturb his family in an offensive way. Even though they might appear like nice people, once they knew that Nora Alstreim, Grand Elder Elise Alstreim, and Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim had been subjected to punishments like that, they definitely would not stay still when judging by their characters.

Sure, the Alstreim Family needs the new Ancestor, Ezekiel Alstreim, and a large number of eighth stage experts present here, but they rather posed more trouble to his family than provide protection for the Alstreim Family for the moment. He would not rather let them out, and besides, letting them out with his own strength means that he would be revealing his ability to use life-like laws.

If not, he would have to knock them out, to which no one would accept, and he didn't have the patience or tolerance to convince them either. Therefore, the death of the enemies in this place appeared to be the next, natural course of action he should take.

As Davis traversed the region that seemed to be abandoned and desolate with nothing but pitfalls and elevations covering the surface, he gradually ran into a forest where he saw magical beasts living as a clan. However, it also seemed as if there were eighth-stage magical beasts present.

These beings weren't his concern, so with Nadia's concealment, he passed through them arrived at the forest's exit. There, he saw a few people sitting on large tree branches, looking as if they were cultivation as they sat in a lotus position but also appeared as if they were keeping an eye on the surroundings.

'Different robes, Low-Level and Mid-Level Law Sea Stage experts. They look like they are from different powers but are all here...? They are scouts?' Davis inwardly wondered, feeling that they might be here to warn others of a magical beast tide or even possibly expect an attack from the Alstreim Family.

After all, the opposite of their direction was where the Alstreim Family's base was situated, thousands of kilometers away from this place.

Nevertheless, Davis's lips curved into a cold smile as he thought, 'Let me give the Infernal Lightning Palace a surprise gift...'
