Divine Emperor of Death

"Alright..." The voice of Fallen Heaven echoed in Davis's Soul Sea, although eerie, it sounded with a tinge of excitement.

The soul refinement process kickstarted in his soul sea as the centipede shaped light got surrounded by a surge of darkness.

The revolving darkness twisted and churned the centipede shaped light, causing a minute amount of refined soul essence to integrate into his soul sea.

He slowly but steadily felt his Soul Forging Cultivation increasing at a faster rate as if it didn't have any limits.

After what seemed like an unknown amount of time, the Soul Force in his body experienced a qualitative change that made him feel extremely cozy.

He instinctively knew that he had reached a new stage with this breakthrough.

Davis opened his eyes as he silently muttered, "Mature Soul Stage..."

With Old Man Garvin's teachings, he knew that he would be able to stay alive in his soul form for over 500 years even without a fleshy body.

Other than that, there was the actual increase of Soul Force, whereby it became 'mature' in terms of quality.

His Soul Force became strong enough to make him fight toe to toe with Fifth Stage Body Tempering Cultivators in a physical fight.

That was how much his Soul Force was reinforced, enabling him to physically fight with cultivators rather than the ranged battle that Soul Forging Cultivators would usually opt to prefer.

Hence, its name, Mature Soul Stage.

Of course, if a Sixth Stage Soul Forging cultivator were to fight physically with a Sixth Stage Body Tempering Cultivator, it was obvious the former would be thrashed around like a toy without any suspense unless the prowess of the former varied.

The next second, Davis dryly laughed, "Hehe..."

'I didn't even try to comprehend the relevant soul laws for my light laws at Elder Soul Stage, and this is going to severely hinder my battle prowess from growing along with my cultivation...'

He was at the Fifth Stage in Soul Forging Cultivation before, so it had been crucial for him to comprehend the relevant laws till Level Three Intent but couldn't do so since he was in a hurry.

'But then, this is worth it... So I don't necessarily think that it's bad...' Davis smiled to himself as Evelynn's smile and explosive figure flashed past his mind.

Yup, in front of her voluptuous figure, everything he did seemed meaningless in comparison.

"Brat!?"

Davis trembled and shot his consciousness towards his soul sea.

"Something's happening to me..." Fallen Heaven spoke with a strange tone.

Davis looked at Fallen Heaven and noticed the tone in its voice.

'Did it just sound fearful...' Davis couldn't believe his sense.

Faint specks of white light intertwined and coiled around the black tendrils of the Death Book that was floating in his Soul Sea.

The combination of white and black light surrounding the Death Book seemed nonsensical to the extreme.

"What's happening!?" Davis shouted in anxiousness.

"I don't know, ever since you broke through, it started to affect me like this!" Fallen Heaven replied instantly but its voice sounded just as anxious as him.

Davis narrowed his eyes as the saw the white light intertwining with the other light, "This is... Light Laws? How is it here?"

"How would I know? You train in the light laws, not me!" Fallen Death indignantly replied as it shouted.

"Yes, I do but this doesn't feel like Light Laws but it's similar..."

Davis turned confused.

Becoming enlightened in Light Laws before, he was sure that this didn't feel the same as Light Laws.

Instead, the sensation he got from it was different, as if it was a higher power, one equalling the dark like laws he learned with the help of Fallen Heaven.

The other light which was the black light was precisely the dark like laws he was talking about.

Davis instantly tried to calm himself down but before he could even do that, numerous colorless threads emerged from the Death Note as it swirled around, interlocking the light and dark specks.

"What!?" Both of them shouted at the same time.

In an instant, the white light that coiled around the dark speck disappeared as if it had never appeared in the first place.

The only visible changes were the colorless threads that were intertwined around the Death Book.

"Where did that white light go?" Davis confusingly asked as he couldn't feel anything harmful happen to his body, neither to Fallen Heaven.

"I don't know, but I can feel the changes..." Fallen Heaven replied.

"What changes!?" He anxiously asked.

"Don't be hasty, give me some time to ponder..."

Davis heaved a sigh of relief as he mumbled, "As long as you're okay..."

Saying so, he returned and felt the changes to his body.

As he checked if there were any abnormalities, a vague sense of comprehension unknowingly imprinted in his mind.

'What's this feeling...'

He suddenly felt as if there were a tugging sensation, pulling at his heart.

Or to be precise, his soul...

A transparent colorless thread emerged from his soul sea and moved out of his body.

When Davis followed the transparent colorless thread with his gaze, he froze!

...

In a misty zone, a single, lone shadow-like silhouette walked out of the forest and looked at the river.

The shadow looked around as if trying to verify that there was no one around the place.

After looking around, the shadow stepped forward and a woman's figure came into view.

She wore no pearls or jewels, no decorations as she appeared only in a long azure robe like a ghost but her facial features were absolutely gorgeous with those lucid eyes, small nose, and crimson lips.

When she took another step forward, her feet immersed itself in the warm river till her knee level.

She proceeded to immerse herself in the warm river completely, leaving only her head visible if one were to see her from the river shore.

Below the surface of the warm river, her azure robes stuck close to her pale white skin, accentuating her heavenly figure that was ample with curves, her bottom and bosom's outline becoming visible even if the robe was not transparent.

A few seconds, a few minutes passed as she relaxed.

Running her fingers through her wet, and silky purple-colored hair that floated above the water, she let out a faint laugh as her voice echoed out as if she were mumbling to herself, "How cautious... Looks like if I don't take off my garments and set myself in an even more vulnerable position, they won't dare to attack, no?"

"Can you fiends like please stop following me? I'm getting tired of all this farce..." Her vibrant voice echoed throughout the place.
