Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4710  Sharing Insights

"First, as you said, I care more about Rioxys's situation than Cantor's death. With the technique's ability, if he wants to divulge this to others other than you, Rioxys and me, he would die on the spot."

"Second, if I start killing everyone who attacks me, then half of the current Davis Family members would already be dead because most of them had altercations with me in the beginning, some serious. The genius Mistwalkers youths are now nearly convinced to work for me. If you want a similar example for a darkness fey entity like Cantor Darkdew, even Nightveil, who joined us later, attacked me from the shadows when we first met. She used a killing move. Did you think I'll only spare beauties?" Davis sneered.

He sat up and raised his hand, pointing at himself, "Did you think I made it this far by making the entire world my enemy? I'm not that arrogant, nor do I see the need to do it. Just killing those who have hostile and greedy intentions is enough. The rest can be worked with as long as they're not unreasonable and will yield to my Will. In the end, they'll be extremely useful."

Before coming here, Davis had released Young Master Reiwu from the Opulent Shell Company since the ten-year period of imprisonment was nearly up. Young Master Reiwu had offended Frostrose, and numerous crimes were stacked on his head, so he had consequently suffered soul-burning torture for over ten years inside a formation.

This was done because Davis had exchanged a promise with Merchant Taiwu from the Opulent Shell Company to release his son in ten years. Besides, it wasn't like his son was now free to go. Reiwu had to slumber for a period of ten thousand years for his sins to be pardoned by the Davis Family. Otherwise, he would be executed.

Because of this compromise, Merchant Master Taiwu was one of his most loyal subordinates who now brought resources back to his Davis Family using secret routes. There was also the Autarch Metenoa, who took care of the trade and logistics.

Without them, the Davis Family would've been hard-pressed to gather resources from all around the Lower Realms that allowed his family to grow faster in the ten-year period. Of course, the other families also greatly benefited since they all used the same Treasury in exchange for contribution points.

Now, he even had Ragoon Crystalveil and his elder sister Jiayi Crystalveil on his side. The latter was still in a probation period. Regardless, he was shaping potential enemies into potential allies, turning them into useful for the survival of the family.

He didn't have time to explain this all to Fairy Thunderblaze.

Instead, he asked with amusement, "How can you, the great schemer and a sect leader can't understand this?"

Fairy Thunderblaze's lips curled, "If a subordinate comes near your throat, that's the end of it. There's no second time for them, much less for enemies. I'm not used to forgiving people, but yes, if I can use them, I will use them until they turn dry. I discard those who can't be used, and for those who show their blades, I adore them for courting death. A supreme being like you could rule with absolute power, and yet you chose to believe in the fickleness of their hearts. A Heart Intent user of your caliber… It's not like you don't know human nature… " She said with some confusion.

Her eyes were curious as though she was trying to understand him, his true nature.

"It's because I know how to move one's heart that I take this kind of action occasionally. You feed what the pet wants for it to obey you, not what you want it to eat." Davis chuckled, "Of course, there's much more to it than to feed what it wants, but you get the gist of it, no?"

Fairy Thunderblaze nodded, "As I thought. You're not benevolent as you seem to be."

'Who told you I was benevolent?'

With a family behind him, Davis was the most ruthless he had ever been in his life. He dared not fail. Even now, he was considering selling out the human race to buy time to grow. It was just that he hadn't been pushed to that threshold yet, and he had set the threshold fairly earlier than he could be cornered.

After all, when he was ultimately cornered, it was time to let go of inhibitions and use Fallen Heaven.

At that point, it didn't matter if he betrayed his race or killed any other race into total annihilation for him.

"Anything else you want to ask?" He probed, feeling sleepy as he suppressed a yawn with his hand.

Fairy Thunderblaze's lips curled, "If a subordinate comes near your throat, that's the end of it. There's no second time for them, much less for enemies. I'm not used to forgiving people, but yes, if I can use them, I will use them until they turn dry. I discard those who can't be used, and for those who show their blades, I adore them for courting death. A supreme being like you could rule with absolute power, and yet you chose to believe in the fickleness of their hearts. A Heart Intent user of your caliber… It's not like you don't know human nature… " She said with some confusion.

Although controlling the Eternal Eclipse Bird had become way easier and maintaining an active connection was no longer as pressuring as before, it was still taking a toll on his soul, exhausting him faster.

"No, I'm satisfied." Fairy Thunderblaze seemed strangely happier as she left.

However, she stopped suddenly and let go of the curtain, turning to look at him.

"Do you know how to erase the karmic connection from a drop of blood essence?"

"…?" Davis was confused before he realized, "Oh, I don't know. Do you know? Teach me then. I was going to ask Schleya to teach me after I return, but your technique can also work."

Fairy Thunderblaze simply nodded.

They must have a counter for that blood-attributed Calamity. Otherwise, they could be taken advantage of and afflicted with various blood diseases. There was also the matter of it shaping into its victims, so they must avoid it by destroying the connection to their blood.

Davis only took twenty minutes to learn the technique to mastery, leaving Fairy Thunderblaze speechless.

He understood well.

"You are also a good teacher." Davis praised her, "Who taught you this technique? Your powerful dead servant who helped me deal with Wicked Tamer Jaxon Harrow?"

"Yes, Bloodcloud." Fairy Thunderblaze didn't hide.

Since he was a user of the Blood Tempest Physique, his abilities in using Blood Laws were abnormal, and it was passed down to her. She couldn't use it to a great degree like him, but techniques like removing karmic connection with blood essence still worked.

"Do you want to compare and share our movement techniques?" Davis asked, feeling somewhat brisk after pricking his fingers numerous times to practice.

"…" Fairy Thunderblaze went silent.

Unknowingly, she was already on his bed, seated at the edge.

"Okay…" She said softly, but there was no change in her expression.

The two of them shared their insights into the night until there were only a few hours left for daylight.

Fairy Thunderblaze finally left for her tent to sleep.

At dawn, they woke up a bit late and made their way north to the death zone!
