Divine Emperor of Death

Clara nodded and looked at Davis with an intense gaze as she imagined how glorious his actions had been. She felt that he stayed true to his words, putting his family before him, causing her to feel immense respect for him.

On the other hand, Isabella recalled Evelynn's words of Nine Lives Gracious Fox, Panacea Soul Fruit, and, most importantly, to find someone with the ability of Saintess Lunaria. She inwardly nodded, forming a plan in her mind and the first place to start was naturally the Four Great Righteous Sects.

They would surely have all the answers she needed, but before that, she must clear the differences between the Alstreim Family and the others. Otherwise, she knew that no amount of knowledge would be provided unless she became a fey like Evelynn herself, strengthening herself to the extreme limit possible.

Clara wiped her tears and suddenly turned around, almost exiting the hall without even nearing Davis.

"Wha- Where are you going?" Isabella couldn't help but ask.

Clara shot a look behind, her eyes full of determination.

"To the Ice Phoenix Mistress..."

Isabella blinked before her eyes went wide in realization!

Certainly, the Ice Phoenix Mistress or the Immortal Inheritance itself could hold the answers to heal Davis! After all, the phoenix was known for its fabled ability to perform a nirvanic rebirth. To die and revive without entering reincarnation!

Hidden Island, Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago.

In an underground cave that was filled with lava, two girls made their way into the deepest part of the scorching atmosphere, trying to push their cultivation and comprehension beyond limits as they meditated. They were challenging their limits for hours already, appearing as if they were seeking death as they clenched their teeth so hard.

It was none other than Sophie and Niera.

Just as they seemed to be nearing their limits, a person appeared behind them, and essence energy surrounded them, making it quite easier for them to practice cultivation.

They opened their eyes and turned to look back, noticing that it was none other than Grand Elder Elise Alstreim. She smiled and threw them two resources.

"Here, Ancestor Dian Alstreim told me to pass these things to you two."

Sophie and Niera's brows raised. They recognized that these treasures were the Ascending Sunrise Tail Leaf and the Fivefold Serene Incense Pill gifted by the other powers during the marriage ceremony.

"This is for eighth stage cultivators, but with the prowess of you two, you've already reached such a level. Go ahead and take it. It'll help with your Fire Laws and Yang Laws comprehension, so become stronger as you wish."

Ancestor Ezekiel Alstreim appeared by Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's side.

Sophie and Niera didn't say anything but looked at each other, nodding before they continued with cultivating. By consuming these resources, they can begin to use the resources from the Domitian Family's spatial rings, which were full of higher grades.

They understood that they didn't lack resources but lacked time. It was unknown how long Davis would survive his life and death state, so the only thing that they could do was make haste.

"You really think Davis is alive?"

"No, but I think they're intent on taking revenge. However, I do hope that he is alive, as they say. Otherwise, I would die and try to hunt him down in the afterlife to reunite with my granddaughter."

Ancestor Ezekiel Alstreim couldn't help but laugh, but it was a wry laugh that particularly didn't sound like he was trying to make fun. Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's expression was a bit sorrowful. That youth reunited her family was actually so powerful as he said he was but ended up dead due to prematurely revealing his strength.

No matter what, she at least owed him a significant amount of debt.

"You take care of these two. I'll go support Claire, who's behind..."

Ancestor Ezekiel Alstreim raised his brows before he nodded, "Alright. I've sent some people to keep an eye on Davis's father, Logan. I've also sent him the resources that were gathered here from the Infernal Lightning Palace's remnants, but I hope he isn't reckless as these two and seek death in the Dark Thunder Island."

"Well, father is with Nora in the Purple Thunderflame Mountain, so I guess he could react and save her husband if it is required so."

Grand Elder Elise Alstreim replied before Ancestor Ezekiel Alstreim sighed.

"Every one of them is pushing themselves beyond their limits. This isn't normal..."

"It just means that Davis was loved that much..." Grand Elder Elise Alstreim shook her head before a smile appeared on her lips, "Just like I would go to any limits for you."

Ancestor Ezekiel Alstreim smiled before he sent her off. Looking at the two girls in front of him appear as if they had been possessed by heart demons, he really felt that he interacted less with Davis to get to fully know him that he couldn't help but lament at this point.

*Puchi!~*

A deadly sickle stabbed into the head of a scorpion-tattooed person who seemed to be a Low-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouse. Three more sickles reached out and slashed many times the next second, making mincemeat out of that powerhouse as he quickly turned deader than dead.

"Wait! Who are you!? Why are you killing us!? Do you want to die!?"

Darkness swirled around the entire space, but the silhouette of a monstrosity could be seen, possessing four bloodied sickles as if they were scythes.

It was none other than Evelynn, but no one could recognize her!

Evelynn's lush green hair laden with a few strands of purple and brown waved in the air. Her eyes shone with purplish-golden glint while her third eyes remained closed shut at the moment.

She wore a purple robe that possessed a cut over her back, allowing her four spider-like lances to extend out with deadly purplish-black sickles on its end that were now bloodied. Nevertheless, she still had her human arms and legs, but the ends of her fingers and toes possessed sharp nails while her skin tone remained poisonous purple and sometimes brownish-golden near the edges.

She looked at the powerhouses of the Poison Lord Villa and their aggravated countenances. A surge of hatred shone in her eyes, making her open her mouth.

"There's nothing to talk about with you people. Just die!"

Evelynn stabbed out with her finger that had a sharp nail extending out with condensed poisonous liquid, causing a bloody hole to appear in that questioning man's forehead before his entire body began to disintegrate the next instant, turning into goo as it accumulated on the floor.

The countenances of the Poison Lord Villa's powerhouses expression turned unsightly as they saw one of their four Mid-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses who gave them hope to remain as a power killed within two seconds of being attacked.

How could they even counter this monstrosity if she appeared so powerful!?

"Everyone, take positions! Activate the barrier!"

The acting leader of the Poison Lord Villa activated a corrupting barrier in the form of greenish-red in color. It encased the entire Poison Lord Villa in an instant, entrapping Evelynn inside it.

Two hands sprouted forth from the barrier, seething with a type of corrosion as it kept moving towards Evelynn.

Evelynn's cold gaze shifted onto those two hands that radiated a Ninth High-Level Stage might.

Nevertheless, wherever her gaze roamed, her terrifying hex intent swept across the land and the air while her blood boiled, constantly energizing her. Her third eye was already wide open, shining with a resplendent crimson light that fell on those two hands before those two corrosive hands simultaneously collapsed, looking as though they had imploded.

At the same time, numerous experts fell as they simply gazed upon Evelynn's third eye. Their eyes shone with the same resplendent red light before they collapsed on the floor, abruptly imploding into a mangled mess of flesh!

For a time, the stench of blood enveloped the entire Poison Lord Villa, causing the powerhouses' scalps to turn numb in fright!

What kind of monster was this fey!?

They had been expecting an attack to come from the righteous path from the south or the wicked path to the north, but who exactly was this woman intent on massacring them!?

"It's all your fault."

Evelynn's cold voice echoed again, seemingly directed at no one in particular but everyone in this place. Her purplish-golden eyes were clouded with immense hatred, the sheer intensity of her stare leaving the powerhouses feeling their hearts shudder in trepidation.

"If only you all didn't exist..."

The fact that she was targeted for no reason, causing Davis to be burdened with protecting her again, made her feel that she was ultimately responsible for his near-death state! It made her feel exceedingly enraged in her heart, wanting to unleash a massacre.

Abruptly, her third eye shone with a blue hue, causing the ones who accidentally witnessed to freeze, even the powerhouses, as they looked at Evelynn with a horrified gaze.

Their cultivations had been sealed!
