Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2090 Rise Of A Hegemon

When they met with Evelynn, she informed them that Clara entered seclusion on the third day after playing with Eterna for a while. Apparently, the others also have entered seclusion on varying days after celebrating the birth of Eterna.

"Shirley, you abandoned your child for a week. What kind of excuse are you going to make?"

"Hehe~"

Shirley awkwardly smiled and scratched her head at Evelynn berating her. However, since the latter possessed a teasing smile on her face, Shirley didn't find her offensive either and lightly punched her shoulder.

"That's why you're here, big sister. If I'm absent, you should take care of my child with full responsibility."

"Gladly~ However, our mother-in-law is more than enough to take care of Eterna."

The both of them grinned. Hearing Evelynn's words, Davis also smiled, feeling that he should pay a visit to his mother, who fully took care of Eterna for almost seven days.

'Looks like she's really favoring Eterna. Evan is going to be upset and jealous at this rate...'

He couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, thinking about his second little brother, who had already crossed a year from birth.

They walked the hallways and arrived at Eterna's location, whereupon Eterna quickly cried out as she sensed her mother's aura.

"Ah~ Eterna, mother is back… please don't cry..."

It was instinctive, not even done on purpose, but the moment Shirley took Eterna and caressed her with her voice sounding in a baby-like tone, she became silent, curiously looking at her mother as though she couldn't recognize her for a moment.

Davis wasn't surprised by this. After all, Shirley's blood had intrinsically changed, and so did her aura that exuded a tremendous phoenix might. Quickly, Eterna returned to her normal chores, seemingly at ease within Shirley's hold as she sucked on her thumb, closing her eyes.

She was so cute that everyone couldn't help but keep their smiles.

However, Claire noticed the difference and became bewildered.

"Shirley, so I heard from Clara that you stayed to inherit the Ice Phoenix Immortal Inheritance. Have you decided to dye your hair? Or did you become a fey? But I don't think so, as you still have a human aura...."

A flurry of questions bombarded Shirley, causing her to become stiff before she explained that wasn't the case.

"… But truly, I loved my crimson hair that signified the flames themselves. "Shirley combed her hair with her fingers, seemingly sorrowful.

But then, she put her hands down and lowered her head,

"Mother, I'm deeply ashamed."

"What for?"

Claire seemed amused, "Clara already told me what happened, so I won't blame you. However, you two must see to it that Clara doesn't suffer in other aspects."

"I definitely won't let her down, mother!"

"Good!"

Claire deeply smiled as she turned to look at Davis, patting his shoulder, "I know you will take care of Clara. Just don't let her hurt herself as I know that she will give up many things for you as you would do for her."

"Yes, mother."

Davis straightened his spine and uttered with a solemn voice, causing Claire to giggle, reminding her of how he took care of Clara more than they took care of her. He was her proud son that she could rely on to keep her family tied together, although she knew that he could also resort to outrageous means at certain times.

However, since those excessive means ended up working, she had more faith in him than she ever thought that she had in him.

"Where's father?"

"He's in seclusion. Nora is taking care of Evan for me, so I would have to return soon or bring him here, but that child has a strong sense of care towards Laura, so I doubt he would leave her side. I couldn't bring everyone here either as this place was crowded for many days."

"I see." Davis nodded, "Where's Isabella then?"

"She should be in her room, resting. Davis, she's also going to give birth soon. I can't wait…!"

"Haha!"

Looking at his mother possess a fanatic expression again, Davis couldn't help but laugh.

Following their conversation, Claire left to look after her own children while Shirley began to take care of Eterna with zealous, unconditional love. Davis also stayed for half a day with Eterna, Evelynn, and Shirley, playing with Eterna before he helped Shirley create a Solitary Soul Avatar.

Finally, he took his leave.

He left the Purple Guest Palace, heading towards the distance as he penetrated the Territory Fog and appeared in the dilapidated structure in the far west of the Tripartite Alliance Territory.

It was the location where Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross hid and also the place where Davis took a liking, using the place to concoct pills. Like last time, he wasn't here for cultivating. However, he didn't take out anything but waited for some time, sitting in a lotus position on a purple cushion as he meditated, bringing inner peace and focus to his mind.

Soon, a figure entered the dilapidated palace and waved its hand, causing a three-meter crimson cauldron to fall as its six legs hit the ground, causing the palace to tremble ever so lightly. Its bright red lines running over its body shone with a radiant light as though it was exciting.

"Master! Is it time?"

"Indeed, Tyriele." Davis smiled, "It's finally time to concoct the most potent pill you are going to feast your eyes upon in this lower realm."

Last time, when Davis was about to concoct the Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill, he was interrupted by Evelynn's finding of Ivy Aries's possible whereabouts.

Then after finding Valley Master Jade Aurora and Ivy Aries, he decided to wait, and during that time, he conceived an idea and acted on it, which was to plunder karmic virtue and karmic sin of every hegemon that visited him. All of them were consensual in allowing him to take away their karmic nature, although it was also a show of his power that greatly shook their hearts.

Otherwise, if he was weak and asked something like their karmic luck as a tribute, they would raise their hands and wipe him off the lands underneath the heavens. Naturally, they had to sign the most powerful Blood Soul Contracts, something devised or modified by Myria herself, so they naturally could not reveal his powers even if they wanted to.

When he saw Myria modify the Blood Soul Contract, he saw that she was scribbling more than skillfully inscribing but still, her piece of work was undoubtedly genuine. Besides, she didn't exactly know why he wanted it, so it was all good.

"Marvelous~ Let me help master refine the ingredients." Tyriele clamored in response.

"Sure."

Davis nodded. However, he didn't stand up, but the figure who brought out the Profound Tyrant Veined Cauldron collected the ingredients from him and started to refine it.

That figure was none other than his avatar.

Davis didn't refine or grind the ingredients beforehand because he did not want to lower the efficacy of the ingredients, which might cause the pill at the end to have lost its potency. Now, with him having two assistants doing the preparation work for him, he read the Pill Recipe repeatedly, simulating the process in his mind with his vast experience in refining various kinds of King Grade and Emperor Grade Pills.

After all, his Solitary Soul Avatar had been concocting pills all day long with the Profound Tyrant Veined Cauldron for the sake of his family, drastically increasing his knowledge of concocting pills. There were constant breakthroughs in the Purple Guest Palace almost every day.

Every one of his women had made major breakthroughs except Isabella.

Now, even the Alstreim Family's Ninth Stage Powerhouses crossed thirty individuals, causing many jaws to drop as it was nearing the might of a true Mid-Sized Territory Hegemon!

Krax Alstreim, Ancestor Dian Alstreim's loyal subordinate. Elise Alstreim, the daughter of Valdrey Alstreim. Her son, Eldric Alstreim, and also the Patriarch had all broken through to the Law Rune Stage. Other Ninth Stage Powerhouses also consisted of Nazca Alstreim, the apothecary, Niera and Nora's father and mother, Nero Alstreim, and Keira Alstreim.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim and Ancestor Ezekiel Alstreim had also made a breakthrough, entering High-Level Law Rune Stage. Their Runes had also improved, reaching the third tier, Magnificent Tier.

As for Ancestor Dian Alstreim, he had also reached High-Level Law Rune Stage and had improved his Rune, allowing it to upgrade into a fourth level Rune, a Formidable Rune that increased his prowess by two, no, three levels!

Furthermore, they had all unequivocally entered Peak-Level Martial Sage Stage or even the Martial Overlord Stage, revitalizing their fires of life as they returned to their youthful disposition!

All of this occurred because Davis concocted pills back then, the Crystal Peak Essence Symbol Pill and Purged Peak Martial Radiance Pill, that would allow them to reach Peak-Level Law Rune Stage and Peak-Level Martial Overlord Stage. However, because these two pills were too strong for them, he diluted the pills before giving them to them, and the result was such that it was the birth of more powerhouses for the Alstreim Family!

The entire human race was shocked by the Alstreim Family's growing might, but considering the person at the helm, they also thought it was a given!
