Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 1815: Ascendance Rift

Davis pursed his lips before a smirk appeared on his lips. However, he didn’t say anything as he watched her figure. He admitted that she appeared more beautiful, perhaps because of the immortal aura that surrounded her, making her into a higher existence than them.

The existence of Charm Laws removed the meaning from beauty is in the eye of the beholder since it basically invoked people’s biological imperative to pursue what their body would typically find attractive. Therefore, he wasn’t surprised or shaken but accepted that he found her more attractive than before.

“So crass. Davis, I permit you to put this audacious female spirit in her place…!”

A soul transmission fell on his ears before Davis turned to look at Mo Mingzhi in the distance.

“Haha, forgive her. She’s just excited to have become an immortal that she’s on cloud nine.”

Mo Mingzhi simply harrumphed before she looked away. Now she understood how Evelynn and the others felt about her making fun of him when she was not his woman. She didn’t like some random woman claiming that she wanted her man as her servant. She was humorous, but even she found that offensive for some reason.

Fiora and the others looked unamused as well, clearly not liking Iris Serenity as they looked at her like she was a threat.

“Put me in my place? Forgive me?”

Iris Serenity’s eyes widened ever so lightly before she flew towards Davis, causing Davis to become wide-eyed.

She read their soul transmission? That itself wasn’t surprising, but…

But he was outside the twenty-seven-kilometer range called the ascendance zone!

How could her energy seep out to spy on them? Or was this because she was a spirit or perhaps an immortal spirit that she could hear whispers of the soul?

Iris Serenity arrived before him and reached out her hand, causing Davis to narrow his eyes. However, a barrier stopped her from touching him, causing him to relax, although it caused her eyes to narrow as a reluctant smile appeared on her face.

“Thank you, Davis Loret.”

She waved her hand and sent a spatial ring towards him.

“Everything we agreed upon is yours.”

Davis captured the spatial ring, and the first thing he did was check for traps. Only then did he use his soul sense to investigate the content before a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

“A pleasure doing business with you, Iris Serenity.”

Iris Serenity nodded and looked around. For a moment, she saw the destruction around her before turning to look at him, a wry smile appearing on her face.

“So you truly had the strength to kill me a hundred times when you told me to stop. Are the humans on the other side of the spirit lands that strong?” The source of this content ɪs novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

“Of course not.” Davis shook his head with an amused expression, “If more humans like me existed, we would’ve put a dent in the world barrier to your spirit lands long ago.”

“Hehe… you’re right.”

Iris Serenity giggled before she looked at him with gleaming eyes, even going far as to incline her head as though she was checking him out.

*Rumble!~*

However, at this moment, the tribulation clouds began making noise as though it was screeching. The slow wind began to pick up pace in the skies above when suddenly a spatial vortex appeared, causing both of them to raise their heads and look at it.

There it was, the path to ascendance, awaiting her while shrouded in the heavenly aura.

Iris Serenity turned to look at Davis as she blinked.

“I was just kidding when I wanted you to become my servant, so… want to come with me?”

She appeared confused and even glanced away two or three times. However, Davis simply shook his head.

“I see…”

“…”

There was an awkward moment of silence

“But truly…”

Iris Serenity floated as she began to fly towards the spatial rift as she looked at Davis with shimmering golden eyes.

“I look forward to meeting you in the immortal world. At that time, just shatter the distress talisman with the mark of a dark hexagon, and I will be there for you as long as I’m near. Even if I am not, I will race towards you.”

Her melodious voice resounded with gratitude before she neared the spatial rift. Turning around, she looked at the hypnotizing vortex that seemed to be calling for her, making her think that if she remained for some time, it would forcefully pull her inside.

“Stay safe and stay clear from powerful enemies, especially after you ascend. Look for resources, allies and establish yourself as you did here. Otherwise, saving you would become meaningless.”

Iris Serenity’s pale-gray body shook as she heard Davis’s voice before her shoulders relaxed.

“I understand.”

Without looking back, she took a deep breath as her bosoms heaved before she stepped into the spatial vortex and disappeared out of their sight.

Davis was honestly astonished that she didn’t scream at him for advising her. Perhaps, she decided to honestly accept his advice and entered the immortal world because of having her horizons broadened by him even before she went there?

*Bzzzz!~*

Once her silhouette disappeared completely from the spatial vortex, tribulation clouds began dispersing, and the crackling sounds of thunder died slowly. It began closing fast before it completely disappeared within a blink of an eye. Before long, the heavenly phenomenon of the region vanished altogether, replaced with darkness and a silent

“Umm, the ascendance part of the tribulation is a bit anti-climatic…”

Davis imagined that heaven and earth would twist during ascendance and even expected a grand entry from some other higher being stepping out from the vortex to welcome Iris Serenity, but it was simply over just like that. However, he shot a glance at the other spirits and saw that it was not the case.

They appeared like they were awestruck and revered by this phenomenon, and Davis instantly realized that he set his expectations too high.

*Whoosh!~*

A group of people appeared behind him before they glanced around, closely looking at the destruction with shimmering eyes. From far away, their battle was not that explosive. However, the undulations certainly made them shiver inside.

However, they found that Davis still kept looking at the location of the spatial rift where Iris Serenity disappeared.

Mo Mingzhi appeared beside him before she patted his shoulder.

“Obviously, she liked you and even invited with the intention of being together as she even seemed to have acknowledged your vast strength…”

Davis couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Who is to say that she wouldn’t suddenly stab in the back? I mean, I’m entirely weaker in her point of view at the moment.”

“That’s not what you truly think.” Mo Mingzhi smirked at his evasion, “Who wouldn’t feel gratitude for a person who saves them from danger, especially an extreme danger like being attacked by three Peak-Level Spirit Ancestors who can battle a level higher? She didn’t seem like a vile person, and you said so yourself…”

Davis just smiled, not answering her question.

“I’m glad you didn’t leave. Stay with me, stay with us…”

Mo Mingzhi suddenly embraced him and hid her face on his chest, causing his brows to widen before he smiled.

“Why would I leave without you all? You really can’t be thinking that I would abandon you all, right?”

He turned to look at the others and saw that they turned away their heads while Zestria became clueless, not knowing what to say nor thinking she had any right to say as this conversation appeared important.

“Well, you’re a man.” Mo Mingzhi raised her head and looked into his eyes, “You pursue strength the foremost and won’t lack women even if you leave us…”

“Ridiculous.” Davis’s brows severely narrowed, “I never considered you all a commodity. If I leave you all, then I-“

Mo Mingzhi suddenly smirked before he heard giggles to his side, quickly understanding that they somehow planned to hear these words coming out of his mouth.

He blinked before his hand swiftly moved.

“You got me there…”

*Paah~*

“Hyaa!~”

Davis slapped Mo Mingzhi’s perky butt in front of everyone, causing her to squeal in slight pain before she looked at him with glazed eyes and clenched her teeth.

“Davis, you scoundrel…”

Davis grinned with equal intensity, “I’m a scoundrel. What are you going do about it?”

“I’ll kill you!”

Mo Mingzhi bit his chest, causing Davis to chuckle. He instantly strengthened his body, causing him to feel nothing from her bite as her teeth couldn’t even sink into his flesh. She instantly realized the futility of it and began to flail her fists onto his chest in embarrassment.

The slap itself wasn’t that embarrassing for her, but the squeal she let out sounded like a moan instead and caused Fiora and the others to laugh at her, which made her deeply embarrassed,

Before long, she calmed down and looked at him with glazed eyes, pulling him into a hot kiss as she rolled her tongue over his, sucking his saliva that made the ladies blush before they looked away, making them think Mo Mingzhi was as shameless as ever.

With the erotic sound of their lips leaving, they looked at each other before Mo Mingzhi heaved a breath, licking her crimson lips before she spoke.

“In any case, I’m truly glad that you didn’t leave all things said… I don’t know about the others, but my heart clenched for a moment there…”

“Mine did too…” Fiora hollered before Natalya spoke.

“But we knew that you wouldn’t leave…”

Davis nodded as he understood that it was something they couldn’t control. Sometimes, people made the stupidest of decisions when there was a time limit to take an opportunity, only to later learn that it wasn’t worth leaving behind what they cared for before, also painfully coming to know the value of it.

He wanted to be no part of those regretful people despite his shortcomings.

“Alright, let’s leave.”

Everyone nodded to his command.

However, the women were all still taken aback by the heavenly tribulation as they looked at the dark space in the skies. This was their first time seeing a heavenly tribulation as they never got to see one in their lifetime as people who strive to become immortals were either lacking or old enough to die in the past few millenniums.

People were afraid of the heavenly tribulation by the time they were old, not daring to encounter heavenly lightning. Even Iris Serenity almost died to the illuminating yet overbearing attacks despite being powerful in her own level, so they could definitely see that not anyone could cross the heavenly tribulation, which made their heart palpitate, making them feel that if they wanted to pass theirs without facing mediocrity, then they would have to be more powerful than her.

Time passed, and everyone returned to the small part of a mountain they had unofficially claimed for themselves.

Davis was in his own cultivation cave after some time when he took out the remains of the spirits and harvested their spirit cores. Also, not only did he collect their soul essences but also their karmic virtue, which was pretty sizeable.

Nevertheless, as he looked at the octahedral-shaped crystals floating above his palm in different hues of crimson, white-gold, black-gold, and pale-green, he was joyous as this also provided a boost to his cultivation. However, he kept the pale-green spirit core back inside the spatial ring as it was useless to him who didn’t practice Wind Laws, not to mention that it would slow down his rate of consumption, according to Fiora’s findings.

Seated in a lotus position, he began to refine the Raging Crimson Star Spirit’s spirit core using his soul force and quickly received an abundant amount of fire-attributed soul-compatible energy, which he absorbed into his soul essence and experienced a visible increase in his Soul Forging Cultivation.

‘This… is faster than I expected, but still not comparable to refining soul essence…’

He quickly placed all the spirit cores into his spatial ring and began refining the Raging Crimson Star Spirit’s soul essence, but at the same time, he popped a pill that shone lustrously into his mouth, swallowing it.

It was none other than an Advanced-Tier Stargaze-Risen Emperor Pill.

This pill was useless to him due to his extraordinary prowess. The chances that it would give him to allow a breakthrough into the Mid-Level Emperor Soul Stage was less than one percent. Moreover, he already took one back then, which gave him diminishing returns as he possessed pill resistance towards it. However, it still gave him the comprehension of that particular level, which is more than enough for him.
