Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 2198: All Out?

"…"

Myria almost spat blood as she heard Davis's imitation rudely talking about her.

Is that what he was thinking about all day, or perhaps months, as she from time to time could sense his gaze?

However, her injuries to the soul were so severe that she couldn't divert her focus elsewhere, forcefully calming herself as she returned to healing her soul as life energy kept overflowing her Eternal Life Soul, practically repairing itself.

Evelynn and the others looked worried more so than ever because the fake didn't seem to be lying but understood that it could still hide things. Hence, their hearts were still calm.

Davis lightly shook his head, unable to believe that his confidence to defeat someone who owned Fallen Heaven was overwhelming. What gave him the idea that he could essentially win against someone like that?

Moreover, he had the assistance of law suppression, and although the imitation still had the advantage in prowess, it was only by a slight margin that didn't make much difference as the imitation was unable to defeat him, allowing him to escape each time.

Unlike Myria's imitation, which constantly grasped Reincarnation Laws as Myria did, his imitation's comprehension of Fire and Lightning Laws seemed to make little yet different kind of progress as he did so in Fire and Lightning Laws.

After all, both of them used fire and lightning with different properties, hence the disparity and difference between their comprehension routes.

For Davis, this was not a threat as he still possessed the advantage of law suppression. However, looking at his imitation taking another route of comprehension, wasn't it truly like another him for real?

This formation truly had him terrified from the depths of his heart, not because he was afraid of being possessed, but it made him question if he was real, although the answer was obvious, not to mention the implications of this formation.

The world master was someone who could break the balance just like him and Myria. It was no wonder that grand character was able to seal Fallen Heaven despite having been pushed to dire straits, as Myria had once said.

'Thundering Horn Spear.'

Davis raised his hand as a black-silver spear appeared above his palm. He grasped it, clasping it as dark crimson flames emerged and enveloped the spear, surging with an apocalyptic might. The oppressive aura it exuded caused the imitation's brows to frown as it retaliated with its own move, forming a wheel with the power of extinction lightning and immolation flames.

Its destructive might was apparent as soon as it formed, exuding a threatening aura that caused Davis to also frown.

It was the Destructive Wheel of Firestorm from his Blazing Thunderlight Kirin's Firestorm World Ode, a move that even countered Ellia's attack, although she had only been showcasing her prowess in the two cultivation systems other than the soul.

Regardless, Davis pushed on forwards with his spear amassed with heavenly lightning and heavenly flames. His legs were draped in black-silver lighting as he moved, his figure flashing through the air as he arrived before his imitation.

*Rrup!~*

He unleashed the heavenly spear, and along with his momentum, it shot towards the imitation with a frightening speed as it seared apart the air. Despite its destructive prowess, the imitation appeared solemnly calm as it unleashed the Destructive Wheel of Firestorm, its destructive might surging to a far superior level than what Davis used in the competition.

The flaming wheel of lightning and fire spun like a drill, the essence of fire and lightning gathering at the center as they struck the heavenly spear!

*Bang!~*

Their clash resounded with an ear-screeching sound as they stopped, trying to overpower the other, but the moment the spear slightly swiveled due to the rotating force of the Destructive Wheel of Firestorm, their powers abruptly exploded into a blast of firestorm engulfing the space.

It was probable that even a cultivator who had just become an immortal wouldn't survive the aftermath of their attacks.

However, within that destruction zone traveled Davis and his imitation as they were each clad in lightning and flames and similar nature yet qualitative difference. Lightning crackled, and flames seared as they readied their techniques again, clashing once again with storming intensity.

*Rumble!~*

Thunder resounded from each of their hits. Lightning spears that were incomparable to the one before were launched at each other as they tried to put a hole through their bodies. It almost became close-quarters combat when the imitation quickly saw that it was momentarily losing it out because of the law suppression.

Only stronger attacks could keep the original at bay, so it instantly retreated as it fought.

*Bang!~* *Bang!~*

Bolts of black-silver lightning were launched in an arc. However, the imitation successfully dodged one of them before hurling the lightning spears at the rest. Its black extinction lightning abruptly clashed with the heavenly lightning bolts as it caused them to collapse from within.

The tiny explosions that would've otherwise caused Eighth Stage Cultivators to die in an instant didn't even put a mere scratch on them. Now, it was Davis who was chasing while the imitation ran with its tail between its legs.

However, Davis knew not to trust this fake Davis as it had been severely plotting, making him aware that was what he would do if he didn't have Fallen Heaven. He had his fair share of almost falling prey to the fake Davis's plotting but managed to come out alive each time, and this time, he felt no different as he was the rightful original.

Abruptly, the imitation turned around and pushed into his blind spot, causing Davis to harrumph.

"Hmph! Keep trying!"

A burst of heavenly flames and heavenly lightning abruptly exploded from Davis's own body, causing the imitation pupils to dilate as it unleashed its move and rapidly retreated.

"Thunder-Lightning Kirin Burst!"

With a clap of its hands, extinction lightning burst out like a resounding thunder.

However, the heavenly flames and heavenly lightning overwhelmed it, even engulfing it as it stuck onto its body, rapidly injuring it in a second before its extinction lightning and immolation flames surged out and extinguished the deterioration.

? ?? ??-??? ??, ?,?,? Although the damage was mitigated and the injuries were considerably less, the imitation raised its head and stared at Davis with a not-so-minute amount of hatred as it saw the burning figure that injured himself.

Whenever it got into Davis's range while it had the advantage, Davis would strike back with a suicidal attack like he was planning to die.

With this simple yet daring strategy, he kept it from overpowering him, and after unleashing the suicidal attack, he would quickly use his life energy to heal his organs and meridian pathways while paying no heed to the flesh.

If it weren't for his heavenly lightning and heavenly flame shield draped around his body at all times, he would probably be burned and fried like a roasted chicken.

Of course, the imitation tried this move, but because of the law suppression and not having a physique of that kind, it had to eat shit as its powers only worked after overpowering the suppression while the heavenly nature of his original's naturally reigned superior.

Moreover, due to Davis lacking his Supreme Immortal Runes, it had two because only through the formation of runes allows it to step into the Law Rune Stage, but it was restricted to use it! More than that, because it lacked Fallen Heaven, its Emperor Sigil was not up to par, making it so that his prowess in life energy and death energy was trifling!

This very feeling of being created inferior had the imitation gnashing its teeth. After all, even Myria's imitation thrashed its original, but how come it was unable to do so!?

Davis healed himself as he inwardly grumbled, 'We've been at a stalemate for the past three battles. If only I could get inside his range after he used his technique...'

Like the imitation had its own worries, Davis had his own, unable to enter close-quarters combat as it was precarious for the both of them.<del>? ??? a ???e?</del>

This was the result of him refusing to use Fallen Heaven's powers.

However, from being kicked like a football in the first battle and battling almost equally in this eighth battle, Davis knew that he had tremendously improved his battle skills and developed an extreme understanding of his strengths and weaknesses.

It was difficult to catch him off-guard, and that confidence gave him an overwhelming boost in confidence in going toe-to-toe with his imitation.

But still, he was out of ideas.

Besides, Davis did ask Myria to teach him about that spirit formation, but she refused. It was understandable.

After all, why would she bother to increase his chances of winning this trial and obtaining the rewards?

Moreover, it was likely he would take months to comprehend that spirit formation considering that he only knew less about spirit formations, unlike Yotan and Threelotus, who spent years studying them while they fairly understood the workings of almost every type of spirit formation.

As he was thinking about how to defeat his imitation, he couldn't help but pause ever so lightly as a spark of insight appeared in his mind. It was very sudden, causing him to quickly enter a state of enlightenment as he brought his hands together.

'Thunder-Lightning Kirin Burst…? From this of a long-range…?'

The imitation couldn't help but become cautious, wondering what Davis was doing when its scalp abruptly turned numb!

It watched the so-called original surge with oppressive heavenly flames and heavenly lightning as he abruptly clapped his hands when the black-silver arcs of lightning and dark crimson flames that had a bright red hue conjoined, transforming a black-crimson hue while still radiating a silverish ember.

Their prowess surged to eight levels higher as they transformed into a bolt, sending a spike of lightning and flames towards the imitation, causing it to dodge.

However, it was like the very first time Davis entered the ninth floor.

The imitation looked at its left forearm disappear into ashes before disappearing into the formation as his arm was struck by the heavenly bolt, which made him feel extreme pain. He clenched his teeth in pain as the remnant heavenly flames and lightning stuck to his elbow like there were millions of terrifying ants gnawing on them.

Lighting cackled on his right hand as he swung it towards his left arm, cutting it off in an instant without hesitation whatsoever.

Davis shuddered ever so lightly as he felt like he used up a large part of his soul force, although he quickly understood that it was the backlash of abruptly using this new power.

'Even Shirley exercised caution when using the combination of ice and fire...'

Davis couldn't help but grin at this moment, a grin of victory.

After all, just at this moment, he had comprehended the combination between Fire Laws and Lightning Laws!

Blazing flames and sparkling lightning wasn't even storming in the air when he had comprehended the combination of heavenly lightning and heavenly flames, and yet, he suddenly felt like he understood as he was low-key studying an Immortal Grade Manual, furthering his comprehension of those two Laws, closing his distance to Firestorm Laws, a Supreme Law, and although not as powerful as Icefire Laws at normal, was perhaps equal or more powerful than Icefire Laws when heavenly nature was mixed into it!

"Fuck you. I'll go all out!"

However, before he could even celebrate, his identical twin, whom he had done short work of, became furious as its figure became engulfed in extinction lightning and immolation flames.

*Boom!~*

It arrived in front of him and exploded like a volcano that repeatedly had its humongous body struck by lightning all year long, roaring with an apocalyptic might as the imitation hurled dark crimson wisp of flames and crackling extinction lightning at him!

*Boom!~* *Boom!~* *Boom!~*

Two different types of lightning and flames clashed, surging with greater intensity each time, while the energy expenditure didn't go any less but drastically increased.

In that chaotic situation, Davis deeply grinned while exchanging a flurry of flaming and crackling barrages. After all, since the imitation lost one of his arms, victory was practically on his side as long as he didn't mess up!

He kept his focus at max and tried to overwhelm his imitation, who no longer seemed to have its cool, probably having come to the conclusion that it could die during this eighth battle.

*Boom!~* *Boom!~* *Boom!~*

Heavenly lightning spears and extinction lightning spears. Deadly burning heavenly flames and immolation flames. Their clash caused the spacious and well-lit chamber to become dim and sickly as their attacks shrouded the space while thousands of spears clashed against each other.

The situation was completely extreme and anarchistic that Evelynn and the others turned aghast, not knowing how the battle would tip to one side as they didn't understand the finer details, some of them even wondering why they didn't use their other cultivation systems, even if it could just defend against a single spear and give them even a strand of time to make an additional attack which would eventually make them win.

However, both Davis and the imitation couldn't afford to use their other two cultivation systems because of their inadequate prowess. If they used it and even wasted a few milliseconds, then the consequences were worse than severe, easily allowing them to end up dead with those hundreds of exchanges within that few seconds.

The women weren't aware of such extremity and could only stare with their wishful eyes, hoping that Davis would win.

Abruptly, Davis twisted his hand as he brought it up before pushing it down like unleashing a billowing wave. It caused the heavenly flames to twist and conjoin with heavenly lightning, turning into that black-crimson monstrosity that radiated a silver hue.

The very first step to Firestorm Laws rushed down like a resounding lightning strike as it struck the imitation!

*Boom!~*

However, raging flames billowed like a sun's supernova tide above, momentarily stopping the firestorm energy from piercing through. However, it held just for a second before the kirin-faced black-crimson energy pierced through, witnessing the imitation's calm expression.

*Bang!~*

A bolt of black-crimson energy struck the kirin-faced heavenly wave of lightning and flames, causing an explosion to occur, sending the both of them flying miserably.

"What…?"

Davis spat a mouthful of blood as he quickly swiveled his head to look at his imitation crash into the ground, suffering gruesome injuries than him as its face charred. However...

Did his imitation just comprehend the combination of Fire and Lightning Laws?

His pupils couldn't help but tremble in pure shock.
