Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 276

The snake had fallen, but he certainly heard it say 'No!' the moment before it died .

Doesn't it mean that it could have turned into a human in appearance as well since it was a Peak-Level Spirit Beast Stage? Then it also meant that it was an Earth Rank Species .

A pitiful smile inadvertently formed on his face when he realized that he killed a magical beast that could transform into a human form .

"Well, the next time I encounter one, I'll make it transform into a human before slaying it!"

Davis was interested in knowing exactly what kind of forms would they assume or appear in since he was more or less influenced by his admiration for the fictitious .

From what he knew, Spirit Beast Stage Magical Beasts could transform into a humanoid form but failed to consider since he had been fixated on killing them to absorb their soul essences .

Sighing over the fact that he missed seeing one, he stood beside its corpse and used Fallen Heaven to absorb its Soul Essence .

An invisible yet a snake-shaped light flew into his Soul Sea, and settled around Fallen Heaven, waiting to be devoured eventually .

He then ripped open its head and collected its core which was at Peak-Level Earth Grade .

If he sold it, it would only sell for somewhere between 1 to 100 Low-Level Spirit Stones which would have been a large amount to Davis two years ago .

But now, it was kind of like spare change for him .

Storing the corpse of the giant snake in his spatial ring, he continued his hunt as he went towards the inner region .

But with his strength, he would be courting death if he were to head to the inner region, so he planned to remain in the area between the inner region and the outer region .

Soon, as he traveled, he spotted a silhouette hanging on a tree branch .

When he looked closely, he decided to leave it alone since it was a Tyrannical Blue Ape! He didn't want to kill a lone Tyrannical Blue Ape and challenge their rule in this region .

In this case, he realized that targeting other magical beasts was the best scenario for him .

Of course, even though he decided to let it go, did that mean the other party would do the same?

As expected, once the Tyrannical Blue Ape saw a human in its hunting grounds, its eyes glinted with a playful emotion .

"Human! Stay right there! Hahaha!" It commanded as it jumped with a humorous laugh .

Davis almost lost his bearings from hearing its voice . It was a good thing that he had self-control, otherwise, he would've started laughing silly from its baby-like voice .

He was able to keep his calm in front of this beast because it was only a Peak-Level Spirit Beast Stage .

With his ability in Body Tempering Cultivation, he has confidence that he could take on a Low-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast .

He totally could ignore it and walk off like a boss, but he wanted to see what this magical beast commanded him to stay here for . . .

With a curious glint in his eyes, Davis revealed a smile as he asked, "What do you want?"

Once the Tyrannical Blue Ape landed in front of him, it was at a loss when it heard Davis speak .

Davis's eyes lit up when he saw its appearance so close .

It has blue fur covering all over its body except the abdomen which had white fur covering it . It held its chin and looked like it was really thinking hard .

"I . . . I wanted . . . I don't know! Ah! I remembered! My elders said that If I encounter any weak humans, I should kill them!" It said with a bright expression on its face .

"Are you weak?" Suddenly, the ape narrowed its eyes as it asked .

"I am strong!" Davis replied with a smirk .

"Ohh . . . I see . . . " The ape nodded its head and looked at the human with a scrutinizing gaze, "You are the first human I have ever seen in this place!"

Davis widened his eyes .

"Well, my elders only said to kill weak humans . Since you're strong, I think you can go . . . "

Davis's eyes twitched as he thought, 'I'm sure that your elder meant you to run upon meeting a strong human . . . '

"Can you take a human form?" Davis asked with curiosity flashing in his eyes .

Since he could make conversation with this dumb ape, why not?

The Tyrannical Blue Ape pointed at itself, "Me? I can . . "

Instantly, the 8 feet long ape shrunk to a height of 3 feet, its appearance quickly changing into a humanoid form .

Davis looked at the process in admiration, but a moment later his eyes twitched .

The Tyrannical Blue Ape was now a little boy whose height was at 3 feet and had a fair skin . He had short blue hair, sharp eyes, a small nose, and an oval face .

But . . . He was buck naked .

"You don't have clothes?" Davis asked as his eyes twitched . He had assumed that they would have clothes on as he read in the stories but it looked like an obvious no!

"Huh? Clothes, the thing you are wearing? Why would I need one?" The little boy asked in confusion, his voice was the same except it sounded a little childish to a degree .

Davis sighed and didn't bother to explain . Instead, he asked, "What's your age?"

The little boy looked down, then he suddenly lifted up ten fingers .

"10 years?" Davis had a smile on his face .

The little boy nodded excitedly, "Yea yea!"

The smile on Davis's face widened even more that it even gave the little boy a scare as he took a few steps back .

'10 years?' Davis felt stupid .

Right now, he felt incredibly jealous of these Magical Beasts .

Within 10 years, this Magical Beast which had a Sky Grade Species Rank was able to grow to the Peak-Level Spirit Beast Stage, just by living and eating normally .

It didn't even have to cultivate, or one should say that they can't cultivate . Their strength was entirely theirs and natural from birth . It was kind of attributed to their bloodline and was discussed to be blessed by heaven and earth energy since they could wield strength for the same reason .

On the other hand, humans cultivated artificially, increasing their prowess through cultivation and relying on other techniques and objects .

Suddenly, Davis had a hard time figuring out if his cultivation really belonged to him or not .

But this matter also explained to him why this particular magical beast knew no shame . . . It was because the magical beast was no more than 10 years old .
