Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 1668 - I've Already Done It

Davis appeared quite taken aback as his brows raised.

Were they really doing this even after he announced that he belonged to the righteous path more or less?

"Indeed, we eight hegemons came to invite Emperor of Death to the wicked path."

The Deprived Soulstir Emperor devilishly smiled with his pale countenance while Davis shook his head.

"Why would I want to join you wicked path that takes joy in slaughter and finding their purpose in chaos? I don’t take joy in slaughter, but I will bring carnage if I’m offended like the last time. You’re asking the wrong person that it’s ridiculous."

"The wicked path isn’t something like that, although I do admit that there are people like that, including me. The ’wicked’ means to follow your own path, regardless of what you want to do, how you achieve it, with what method you achieve that goal. You can be friendly and still be called a wicked path cultivator if you follow your own heart without being bound by artificial laws."

Davis nodded his head, "It’s delightful to be philosophical with words, but the reality is different."

"That’s right. The reality is different as the current wicked path is made up of people who crave slaughter and chaos amongst the lands they rule. However, if, as a wicked path hegemon, you want order to exist, there will be order. If you want chaos, there will be chaos. It’s merely a matter of needs and the supreme power who rules the wicked path that states how the world should be. The righteous path is merely a branch of the true path, which is the wicked path that chose to create fake order instead of true order."

Davis was completely taken aback by the words of Deprived Soulstir Emperor. Should he now engage in a debate of abstract concepts that wouldn’t reach an end?

He felt ridiculous again but still couldn’t help but open his mouth.

"It’s not like I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. You state that survival of the fittest is the true path, and the wicked path is something that chooses to live with chaos while the righteous path chooses to create fake order. You stated that I should follow my heart, but I’m already doing that, following the true path of survival of the fittest. It is merely that I crave some form of peace and order to exist that I’m on the righteous path. I’ll reject your invitation if an answer is what you want to hear."

"No, no, no." Deprived Soulstir Emperor shook his head, "Your eminence still doesn’t understand. You’re living in a fake state of peace and order. If those four cowards wanted to kill your eminence just for cultivating Death Laws, which is just as unbiased and impartial as many laws, they would’ve already done so, but because they cannot, they act like they’re willing to allow you to exist. If your magical beast mount and wives: Hex Demoness, Earth Dragon Queen wasn’t there to keep them at bay, your eminence would truly come to know that there’s no such thing as peace and order in the righteous path. It is merely fake, able to be shaped and manipulated by those four cowards."

Davis blinked, not able to refute them.

’These people... they did their homework about my history, huh...’

"The Four Great Righteous Sects?"

He couldn’t help but ask while the Deprived Soulstir Emperor nodded his head.

"Indeed, those four cowards remain in this layer despite having the ability to ascend. Our Ancestors have all ascended, but they and their cowardly people don’t dare. From this, it could be seen that they’re afraid to lose their power and authority over the world, wanting to maintain a state of fake order. If it were for not this, the wicked path would be more spread out, evenly inviting a state of freedom where people could rule however they wanted, morally or immorally instead of creating fake order and more chaos."

The Deprived Soulstir Emperor appeared rather passionate as he talked about the differences, while Davis’s face was full of pity.

"You’re blaming the righteous path for more chaos?"

"Yes, if they didn’t take many resources, the wicked path people also wouldn’t have had to turn their hearts to evil to survive and rise in the cultivation world. If we tried to regulate resources, only schemes would exist, and no one would be honest with their words or actions anymore, coming to resemble the cowardly righteous path."

’Ah... I really am not able to refute that...’

Davis inwardly resonated before he spoke.

"You’re right. I wholeheartedly agree with you. Even the Spatial Blight Emperor is honest in wanting to kill his prodigal son, the Poison Lord."

He spoke with a taste of irony.

"There’s one thing I’m proud of the wicked path, and that is betrayals rarely happen here, but as for the righteous path, it is rather rampant."

However, the Deprived Soulstir Emperor didn’t seem to mind the jab as he grinned, feeling that this was a done deal when his expression changed.

"But you know, I don’t make friends with evil slaughterers nor adopt their way of living. I hate the hypocrisy of the righteous path, but even more than that, I absolutely abhor people who inflict cruelty on other people for no valid reason." Google seaʀᴄh novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

Davis made an expression of sympathy as he spoke.

"The karmic sin on you is more than enough to prove to me that you’ve killed millions of people in your life that I’m rather looking forward to the day the Heavenly Flames descend on you to wash your sins."

"That’s fine." The Deprived Soulstir Emperor smiled, " We have ways to hide karmic sin from the eyes of heaven."

"Oh? Tell me more about it."

"Then we all request you again to join our wicked path."

"Then the conversation is over. Go back to your homes before I start finding your uninvited presence offensive."

Davis resolutely spoke, causing the poised Deprived Soulstir Emperor’s expression to finally twitch.

"Sigh, even though I knew this would be the result, I couldn’t help but try."

"We indeed tried..."

Blood World Emperor nodded, looking more pleased as though he was still the strongest in the wicked path before turning to leave.

"Wait." Deprived Soulstir Emperor interrupted as he looked at Davis.

"We’re going to attack Soul Palace and retrieve many Soul Forging Cultivation Manuals it robbed and kept it from the world in the hypocritical name of justice. As a Soul Emperor myself, I’m well aware what kind of importance those manuals and even cultivation records hold for you, Emperor of Death."

Davis’s eyes blinked before he went silent. His silence spoke that he was considering it, at least, in the perspective of the wicked path powerhouses. However, Davis pursed his lips before he sighed the next moment.

"The Soul Palace is already in my control, and attacking it would mean offending me. So if you wicked path people want to provoke me by attacking the Soul Palace, go ahead."

"...!?"

All of their expressions changed at this moment, most of them looking truly stunned.

One should know that the Soul Palace had impregnable defenses, able to find any soul that could sneak in. Even Peak-Level Soul Emperors would find it extremely difficult to invade in a concealed manner. However, the moment they laid their eyes on the wicked wolf, Nadia, they instantly understood that it was this magical beast’s doing.

For some unknown reason, its overall prowess in concealment, attack, bodily defense, and even its soul was just terrifying, making their hearts feel shaken.

"As expected of Emperor of Death. Truly outstanding...!" The Fiendish Yin Empress appeared to be moved as she placed both her hands on her bosoms, "To take over the Soul Palace without anyone coming to know, I’m deeply impressed once again. My Emperor, you really don’t mind if I have such a man for a single night, right?"

She turned to look towards her husband, the Yang Hellflame Emperor who’s lips twitched.

"Oh, does that mean I’m not worthy anymore?"

"It’s not like that. It’s just, which ambitious woman can resist such a legend?"

Davis inwardly felt exasperated by their blatant and provocative statements.

Who knows what this woman will do on the bed, not that he wanted to know as he was not interested in a taken woman despite her otherworldly beauty.

While Davis was like this, Evelynn and Nadia were low-key, glancing at him to see his expression as they felt threatened somehow.

He didn’t know that he just inwardly denied the number one beauty of the wicked path!
