Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2404 Heavenly Geniuses?

Rayleigh also quickly followed suit while that silver-haired wind cultivator followed them while maintaining a respectful distance.

As soon as they crossed the abyss and headed past the valley, many people appeared within their line of sight. They seemed to be collecting something that was nothing more than the size of a grain, but Davis recognized that each grain signified the presence of condensed spatial energy.

According to Rayleigh, these gray-colored ashes, when absorbed in significant amounts, will allow one to comprehend Spatial Laws at a higher rate.

Nonetheless, Davis didn't bother with this place, continuing to walk ahead.

There were only young experts whose prowess was two levels above here, meaning that these treasures didn't amount to much. The others seemed to have gone ahead looking for better opportunities. Still, Davis didn't feel the need to take this resource. It would be helpful to those who hadn't comprehended much, but for him, it would be useless.

Similarly, Rayleigh didn't seem interested in them.

"Senior Mo Tian, the grains that are obtained here are all ejected from the place where the Void Dust Tree Grows. There, the portion of grains present could be compared to a little desert, and when such an amount is gathered in a single place, the comprehension effect is also different. It would be of great use to even you as it could increase Abstruse Intents. This is what the major powers are after when this secret realm opens, or so I've heard."

Davis raised his brows as he nodded, feeling that it would be useful to his people. As for him, he would feast on the Void Dust Tree Fruit, the main dish of this secret realm.

"You want a share?"

"Hehehe…" Rayleigh's expression became abashed as he looked away, "… not much but even a single percentage of what senior obtain would do!"

"Hundred million immortal crystals."

"…"

Rayleigh became stunned, not expecting the card to be flipped on him like this, that his expression quickly fell, "Senior, this is… this is too much. It's way, way, way over the top!"

"Aha," Davis couldn't help but chuckle, "How about ten million?"

"One million!" Rayleigh's eyes turned bloodshot, but his expression was full of pleading, "Senior, please have mercy on this fellow rogue cultivator."

Davis couldn't help but turn to look at Rayleigh, wondering if this dude really had one million immortal crystals.

"It's my inheritance wealth. I lost my family to the invasions of those terrifying beasts from the vast corners of space."

"…" Davis blinked, "It's not worth one million immortal crystals, no?"

"If senior knew-" Rayleigh gawked but quickly controlled himself, "I mean, I only have wealth to buy things and don't have the strength to obtain it. I understand only senior Mo Tian has a chance against those top geniuses from the major powers, and you're also taking a lot of risk offending them, so this is the best I can do to compensate senior. Any more, and I would have to rely on fate."

He sighed, seemingly lamenting his own fate, while Davis scoffed, "You have your way with words. I'll settle for a measly amount of one million immortal crystals."

"Many thanks!" Rayleigh's eyes lit up.

Although it was still way high, he knew that the extra cost wasn't for the one percent of the desert of void dust but the headache that came with plundering that resource.

"But senior… I didn't know you trained in an attributeless Body Tempering Cultivation Manual. Although I've heard it before, this is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes. Honestly, I've always thought training in an attributeless Body Tempering Cultivation Manual is a scam, but now I understand. It is mind-boggling to know that one can become this strong with attributeless tempering."

"I'm a special case." Davis shook his head as he thought of Myria. Only she had an attributeless body that was strong as hell.

"Don't try to imitate me at home, kid."

"I don't have a home anymore, and I'm not a kid!" Rayleigh fumed.

However, he quickly warned Davis of the dangers surrounding that Void Dust Tree and the time it took to near it.

Apparently, it would take them around three days to traverse to the Void Dust Tree, with many dangers involved, of course. The return journey was also fraught with dangers, and those who failed to return would be engulfed by the spatial void and explode into a bloody mess on the spot.

When Davis heard that it would take three days to get to the Void Dust Tree, he no longer felt amused and walked slowly but blasted off into the distance, completely disregarding the dangers of the spatial region.

"Senior, wait!"

Rayleigh also maintained the same pace, but he found that he was spending more focus on staying clear of the dangers present.

Within a minute, they arrived before a vast abyss. However, there was a steep path connected to a cliff in the center, leading towards the other end as it rose to the top.

Davis arrived before the steep path and took the first step on it. The moment he did, he couldn't help but feel his soul force being sucked away.

"Draining soul force?"

"Yes, this path drains soul force." Rayleigh reminded.

He didn't know much, but it became clear to him when he took a step forward along with Davis. His soul force was really being sucked out, causing him to raise his brows in astonishment.

Meanwhile, Davis wondered what kind of properties this kind of spatial had to be sucking soul force out of his body. It normally wouldn't be possible, but he couldn't help but guess.

'Spatial absorption? Spatial devouring?'

He guessed that it was somewhere along those lines. Nonetheless, with his massive reserve of soul force, he didn't feel bothered about the drain and continued to rise ahead.

However, he stopped at a particular staircase, noticing the bloodstains.

"The blood of the Golden Crow..." Davis's brows narrowed, noticing this aura that was reminiscent of the aura that Niera produced when she used her flames.

However, compared to her aura that was fake and projective, this was genuine. He could tell that it contained the blood of the Golden Crow. Nonetheless, it was human blood.

"Ah, that must be the Goldsun Family of the Golden Crow Clan." Rayleigh instantly spoke up, "They're from the Golden Crow Prefecture and have many branches. One of them is the humans from the Goldsun Family. Senior, you must remember that golden-haired scrawny youth we saw outside. His name is called Erin Goldsun, and he is a top genius of the Golden Crow Clan."

"Is he a Young Master Candidate of the Golden Crow Clan?"

"Of course not. There are many like him. Utmost, he could be compared to a core disciple of major power and not a true disciple. True disciples are always heavenly geniuses who have their three cultivations capable of crossing five levels higher, but even Klein Zyrus hasn't quite reached that level yet since his Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation are lacking."

"However, the Zyrus Family believes that after this expedition, he will become a heavenly genius with a Supreme Immortal Rune, Supreme Immortal Crest, and a Supreme Immortal Sigil!"

Rayleigh's eyes shone with fervor.

However, he sneakily took a glance at Mo Tian, who had his head straight, believing that he was a heavenly genius. His body was extremely powerful that he trusted the other party to possess a Supreme Immortal Crest, perhaps a Spatial Supreme Immortal Crest, as it was possible to create multiple crests without interference when having an attributeless body, or so he heard.

"I see."

Davis replied, becoming quiet.

They rose to the top, making past many young cultivators who looked drained. There were female cultivators as well, looking quite vulnerable. Each step they took had an effect on their psyche that it could be seen that their Soul Forging Cultivation didn't amount to much, although they were also at Peak-Level Emperor Soul Stage.

Their soul force was quickly drained, leaving them pale.

Davis did nothing as he passed by them. They looked at him enviously, wondering when they would reach his level as they appeared like fellow rogue cultivators before they clenched their teeth and moved forwards.

To Davis, traversing this region was like a walk in the park, quickly passing a few kilometers as he flew like a bird. He could see many bloodstains and even corpses. Perhaps, this area turned into a bloody battlefield as it was easier to kill people here.

Sometimes, you would have to just push someone off the edge, and they would be pulled into the spatial abyss. It seemed quite easy to make a move here if one harbored ill intentions.

Before long, he appeared at the top as the path ended, visiting the land that was scattered with more void dust.

Rayleigh also didn't look that drained, his expression remaining good.

*Boom!~*

However, the moment they arrived at the top, they could see an intense battle going on hundreds of kilometers away as it was a leveled area without many obstructions.

Davis narrowed his gaze as his vision zoomed into the distance, noticing a group of people huddled together in a defensive formation. They wore golden robes, causing him to remember that they were either from the Goldlust Rat Clan or the Golden Crow Clan.

However, considering their human aura, which he didn't see in the Goldlust Rat Clan's entourage, he instantly assumed them to be from the Golden Crow Clan.

Davis floated towards them at a swift speed, causing Rayleigh to become stunned.

Was Mo Tian going to interfere?

His gaze couldn't help but once again look towards the distance, noticing that a few black-robed individuals were surrounding them.

"Ghost Tear Hall…" His lips trembled.

After all, it was said that anyone who saw the disciples of the Ghost Tear Hall wouldn't live to see the next day, and yet, Mo Tian was directly heading toward them without a hint of concern on his face. He raised his hand, wanting to stop him. However, clenched his teeth and directly followed Mo Tian into the fray.
