Divine Emperor of Death

"Icefire Laws…?"

Shirley's lips quivered, not understanding head or toe as she was suddenly placed in an awkward position.

Moreover, she came here to retrieve Clara's rights, not enjoy them by herself! Her mind became chaotic from the immortals' request, but the Ice Phoenix Mistress continued.

"Indeed, Icefire Laws is considered a Supreme Law, and due to the extreme opposite nature and the extreme difficulty in fusing it, is a high-tier Supreme Law that allows your prowess to increase by leaps and bounds. The very sight of it alternating between chill and heat that when people come into contact with it the slightest bit, they turn into ashes."

Her explanation caused the three of them to reel in shock, although Davis became confused a bit.

The fusion of Fire Laws and Ice Laws, in other words, the fusion of a Primary Law and a low-tier Greater Law constituted a high-tier Supreme Law? How was that possible?

His Death Laws and Life Laws, both high-tier Greater Laws, fused to form Reincarnation Laws, which is considered high-tier Supreme Law. It just didn't make sense to him.

'Wait…'

Suddenly, he realized something.

Reincarnation did not boast terrifying offensive prowess. The Law itself did indeed have a terrifying prowess against souls like Death Laws have, so it made Davis think if Icefire Laws boasted the most powerful offensive prowess in the category of Supreme Laws.

On the other hand, Reincarnation Laws were significantly different. After all…

'It allows reviving the dead...'

That's where its immense prowess lay, or so Davis thought, becoming convinced.

Death could be said to complete the circle of life, and to reverse that in itself could be said to be going against the heavens. In his mind, it was a broken ability that truly put it on par with Laws above Supreme Laws in terms of significance.

Perhaps, the only reason it hadn't entered the level above Supreme Laws was because of its weak offensive prowess compared to Five Elements Law that Myria was so silent about, but it was still in the category of high-tier Supreme Laws. It spoke volumes about its ability.

Nonetheless, what Icefire Laws constituted wasn't so important. What he wanted to know was why the two Phoenixes suddenly proposed this plan to them. Did they intentionally push Clara away from the Immortal Inheritance?

Moreover, from the way Shirley reacted, it was obvious to him that she didn't know about their plan for her. The Fire Phoenix Mistress also said that they hadn't talked to her about it and that it was fate's way of paving the path for them.

If that's the case, it was not intentional that they decided to choose Shirley over Clara.

Davis obviously felt that there must be some kind of strings attached to this proposal but what kind?

"What do you mean supposed to inherit a terrifying Supreme Law… You mean Shirley can't even after absorbing your blood?"

"That's what I meant." The Ice Phoenix Mistress nodded her head, "The chances of inheriting both our powers are probable, and fusing them is abysmal. More than that, the chances that she'll survive this blood infusion are extremely low. That's why we have had two Immortal Inheritances, not just one. Besides, there's no manual paving the path for the fusion of Ice Laws and Fire Laws, so it all depends on Shirley herself to fuse our flames and ice flames."

"Overall, we need both of your consent to make this happen. After all, as her husband, you have a say in her life and cultivation path."

Davis possessed a difficult expression on his face, not knowing how to reply to their polite yet extreme request.

"Impossible…" Shirley disbelievingly shook her head, "I haven't even comprehended the Elementary Intent of Ice Laws, and you two want me to inherit the Ice Phoenix Immortal Inheritance? I will ruin it..."

"Fret not, for that's what our blood is capable of. My blood and Flamerose's blood are practically the same that assimilation between our blood is a given, and the only problem is whether your body can endure. Moreover, the only thing separating my elder sister and me is our nature, which is troublesome, but whenever I and Flamerose attack together, we create icefires that terrify people, but what we accomplished was merely a combination, a far cry from fusion. If we had more time, perhaps we could've achieved fusion, but in the grand scheme of things, we realized that it would be for the best if someone could inherit both of our blood, if not, inherit our blood individually."

"We do have some regrets, but if sacrifices can help the clan flourish, why not? You must've already seen a few of our kin out of this mini-realm, no?"

Indeed, there were cases of Fire Phoenix and Ice Phoenix appearing in the Fifty-Two Territories back in ancient times. The Fire Phoenix and the Vermilion Bird even mated, giving birth to the Burning Phoenix. Did they even need more proof of their existence?

It was just that they had either ascended or gone extinct.

Davis and Shirley nodded to the Ice Phoenix Mistress, but Shirley shook her hand again.

"Even so, the Ice Phoenix Immortal Inheritance is something that belongs to Clara. I won't tolerate betrayal or betraying even if you two respected immortals say-"

"I rescind whatever claim I have left on the Ice Phoenix Immortal Inheritance."

Shirley's expression became shocked as her head swiveled.

"Clara, you…" Davis reached out his hand, wanting her not to use those words as there might still be some chance, but she said it, even smiling as her eyes curved.

"I don't need consoling, brother. The moment I was exiled, I have accepted the outcome. Besides, the Immortal Inheritance is only one of many sources of resources that would allow me to get stronger. It necessarily doesn't decide my fate, much less sister Shirley's."

"Well said!~"

The Ice Phoenix Mistress clamored as her icy-blue eyes flashed, "Your character is something I deeply admire, child. It can be said to be a factor of your Transcendent Truth Eyes, but not even the individuals with such physiques are immune to greed, especially when a Divergent is near them, constantly causing waves in their hearts. If it were not for the precarious circumstances, I would wholeheartedly grant you my inheritance, abandoning this plan I just spoke of as its success rate is very less."

"Well, Davis Loret and Shirley. What's it going to be?" The Fire Phoenix Mistress demanded with a soft voice, appearing unhurried.

"If I decline, will you choose Clara again?"

"No, I'll die soon since I've already given you my soul essence while Frostrose will wait for another successor, but it would be a pity that they could not become as strong as you if you absorb my little sister's blood. The only reason I put this plan forward remains in the fact that you have given birth even before my true essence blood completely assimilated into your body."

"You must have shared a bit with your husband to revive him, most of it ending up being used as an energy source while some other would've been transferred to your child, leaving you with only less than half your share. Right now, if you successfully absorb my little sister's blood, your phoenix blood would become optimal, and while doing so, you can even use my drop of blood essences to keep balance, disrupting the process of becoming a fey."

"You haven't used the remaining blood essences, right?"

Shirley lightly nodded her head to the Fire Phoenix Mistress's question.

Back then, when she had completed the Immortal Grade Trial, she had only absorbed the true essence blood. As for the nine blood essences, she shared three of them with Lea and still possessed six of them. If she didn't need them, she had been thinking of using at least one drop on Lea to strengthen her more, but now, it looks like it came in handy.

"The only problem is if you can body can endure the assimilation of our blood. When our blood combines, it will release an immense amount of energy that can tear your body apart. However, don't worry, for we're here, able to suppress the rampage of our blood, and since it's a mixture of yin and yang nature, your husband will also help you."

"Wha-?"

Shirley jerked from the spot while Davis shot an amused look at her. The moment their eyes met, they knew what they were thinking, causing Shirley's cheeks to blush instantly.

Even Clara lowered her head as she could sense that the atmosphere had become ambiguous.
