Divine Emperor of Death

Myria's entrancing voice kept resounding, "If I'm not wrong, it should be because you showered it with life energy which made it recognize you as an ally instead of just a creator wanting to swallow it, so in theory, you should be able to control it for the matters I spoke about."

"…"

Davis remained floored by Myria's explanation.

He didn't expect there to be another kind of usability for a pill. After all, you create a pill and… swallow it!

Another usability measure is to dilute it into essence liquid while, at certain times, using the pill to enhance the growth of its ingredients if they match properties after refinement. They were not widely used since they wasted the pill's essence more than just swallowing and refining it.

However, to grow along with pills… he certainly didn't expect it that his expression couldn't help but turn bright.

"Don't be so excited." However, Myria waved her hand, "Ultimately, it's only a twelfth rank pill, so it would be unable to cultivate and increase its prowess. The Enigmatic Heart Intent users are rather naive despite their ability to understand emotions. You better not form an affection for it since you're bound to leave it, perhaps passing it down to others or descendants."

"…" Davis felt like he was instantly seen through.

"Still, it's the first time I have seen a Spirit-Tier Pill below the Immortal Stage."

Myria raised one of her brows as she nodded her head, seemingly in wonder.

"Haha, does that mean I've done something great?" Davis couldn't help but chuckle.

"In a certain way, yes. In terms of value, I assume you used many unique resources to concoct this pill, so no. You utterly wasted resources to create a pill that won't help you past the mortal realm. How does it feel to be this stupid?"

"…"

Davis introspected and wondered if he regretted it and then realized that he didn't regret it at all!

'Heck, I'm a plunderer who used the resources of others, and I'll still plunder ten out of ten. What do I have to regret…?'

He was full of glee inside, but he wore a lamenting expression outwardly.

"Don't make a face like that, or Ellia will yell at me. Although you've wasted the resources, it couldn't be completely said to be a waste. At your level, it's the best thing you could've possibly achieved since conjuring a Supreme Immortal Sigil is a given while there's a chance for it to experience mutation."

"Mutation…?" Davis acted ignorant, appearing surprised, "What do you mean? There's not a level above it?"

"You thought there was a level above the Supreme Immortal Sigil?" Myria couldn't help but become silent and closed her eyes as she shook her head, "You're certainly amusing."

Opening her eyes, she shot him a scrutinizing look before her lips moved.

"There's nothing above that level. However, it is possible for the Supreme Immortal Sigil to break down and become something unique to your own self, allowing the mutation to occur. It's not like ancient young characters haven't tried furthering their cultivation by looking past Supreme Immortal Sigil but what they instead got was an artificial physique instead."

"Artificial physique!?" Davis flinched, his eyes glowing brighter.

"Again, don't be so excited about hearing that term. You should know that Runes, Crests, and Sigils are the product of your cultivation essence, in short, manifestations of your prowess. If you look at it in another way, it should be possible to break down that manifestation and obtain a physique in itself, allowing the might given by the Supreme Immortal Sigil for a short time to become permanent. In exchange, you'll lose your ability to use the Supreme Immortal Sigil because it will be sacrificed to produce the artificial physique."

"Why don't you try it then?"

"Huh?" Myria sounded irritated, "Do you hear yourself? My Supreme Immortal Sigil is already a manifestation of my Eternal Life Soul Physique. Its potency alone is a level above other Supreme Immortal Sigils, but unfortunately, my soul physique only shows its uniqueness once I reach the Immortal Foundation Stage. Moreover, if I do something like mutating my Supreme Immortal Sigil, not only would I lose my Supreme Immortal Sigil but also cause a collapse within with my complex Eternal Life Soul, causing me to inevitably die."

"…" Davis pursed his lips, unable to retort.

"Even cultivators without a soul physique necessarily won't be able to survive the mutation, including you. In short, even if you could further your Supreme Immortal Sigil, it's a double-edged sword. For me, it's redundant as I don't even know if my physique can further improve or not. Such a thing is outright impossible as no one has ever achieved it but do you still want Ellia to die over an abysmal chance of mutation?"

Myria raised her brows, causing Davis to awkwardly smile.

"… Alright, forget I ever said that."

However, his curiosity didn't stop as he opened his mouth again.

"What about a mutation to the Supreme immortal Rune and Supreme Immortal Crest? Do you know anything-"

"It's outright impossible as those are a product of Laws, and there's an indisputable restriction put down by the absolute in how much you can comprehend and use, so it's not possible."

Myria cut him off with a wave of her hand, "Otherwise, I would've already done it."

"Right…"

Davis recalled that Myria's comprehension of Laws had exceeded the mortal realm of cultivation, but her current cultivation still restricted her. Otherwise, she could've totally steamrolled everyone here regardless of her cultivation.

'Still…'

At the same time, Davis wasn't offended by her condescending tone.

After all, Myria was explaining all this to him of her own volition. Although there was the promissory note he owed her, it might be because she was thoroughly impressed with his creation which is the Spirit-Tier Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill. Otherwise, he didn't see how she could approach him when she should feel refreshed being away from him.

She still dwelled in the Golden Palace, but he was being lax about it as she went away sometimes but returned later. He didn't say anything about her arbitrary actions either, so it could be said that their cooperative relationship became better, with neither party limiting the other's movements much while maintaining a respectful distance.

At this particular moment, Myria shot a good look at Tyriele. Her gaze stayed on it for a few seconds before she turned to look at Davis.

"I guess Ellia's heartfelt warning fell on deaf ears. Are you planning to die from karmic burden by gathering so much of heavenly lightning?"

Looking at Myria's narrowed brows that seemed reproachful, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"You enraged the heavens, so it has certainly locked onto you. Your heavenly tribulation is going to be as difficult as mine at this rate."

'Woah, I still do not compare to you after obtaining this pill?'

Davis's mouth slightly went agape before he closed, wanting to stop comparing strengths with her at the moment. After all, even the Ice Phoenix Mistress Frostrose admitted that her Clan wasn't a match for this woman.

However, looking at her stern gaze, he could feel that she was really looking for a serious answer.

"Myria, I-"
