Divine Emperor of Death

Evelynn and the others couldn't help but be worried as they saw him look like a sickly person, his face pale and his eyes sunken. To Mingzhi, he appeared like a zombie. Although they appreciated his resolve, they felt like he was pushing himself too far.

They knew he was already exhausted by the gruesome battles he had fought, just like Myria. They further understood that only these two monsters could repeat this cycle for three months without even taking a single rest as they battled their imitations, healed themselves, learned from their previous mistakes, and developed their offensive skills before battling their imitations again, rinse and repeat without a stop.

Such exhaustion would've already built upon them numerous folds, and perhaps that's what caused Myria to collapse and become unconscious. Maybe his victory was an additional blow to her that caused her to become unconscious. Nevertheless, they didn't want to see him collapse like Myria did. They couldn't tell him to give up either, because they all owed Myria in some way, not to mention Ellia was considered his lover.

Arriving on the seventh floor, Davis placed Myria on the cold floor.

"Shirley, give me what you obtained..."

He called out when Shirley approached him and took out a case that held a pure-white sphere that exuded a divine aura that instantly put them at ease.

Davis took the casing from her and headed in a random direction, approaching the wall. However, he walked through that wall as though it wasn't present, causing Shirley and the others to blink rapidly, wondering where he went and what he was doing.

*Rumble!*

Shortly, there was a quake, and before their very eyes, the chamber they were standing inside changed scenery, becoming a breath-taking landscape of nature.

Tall trees covered the land, mountains swelled, and rivers flowed from the waterfall, heading into valleys as they formed a beautiful cycle. There was also plenty of fauna, little animals that were actually herbs in the form of small animals, wandering around, some of them even looking at them with curiosity or running away and watching them with cautious eyes.

However, this atmosphere's serenity practically made them feel like they were in a wonderland, making their breasts heave over the wonder of this Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace.

The next second, they could feel the vibrant energy flowing around them, causing them all to blink, some even waving their hands.

"This is... life energy."

The very presence of it made them feel truly comfortable, enough to make them feel vulnerable as they dropped most or even all their defenses.

Davis walked out of the wall, but to the others, he looked like he had arrived from nowhere, as space visibly rippled around him. He took a look around and took a deep breath, feeling his soul becoming revitalized here, not to mention the rate at which his soul and injuries were recovering became faster ten fold.

On this seventh floor, there was something known as the Nurturing Life Formation, which emulates an environment using Life Laws and even scenery that is teeming with life energy. The living things here were all false and yet they exuded the aura of the living, every single one of them, even the dirt or the ugliest grass.

"I should've come to this location in the first place."

Davis shook his head, seemingly laughing at his own stupidity, before he saw Myria, who was still lying on the ground but had attracted a lot of guests as the small animals gathered around her, even visibly looking worried, which made his lips twitch.

'Just because she has the Eternal Life Soul...?'

He couldn't help but feel a bit envious before it instantly disappeared, as he somewhat knew about her plight. In her words, her physique was somewhat of a curse.

Davis walked up to her and shooed the cute little animals away. He then sat down next to her and touched her forehead again as he resumed giving her life energy.

Time passed.

Evelynn and the others explored this vast and serene scenery, practically feeling like they were on a date with Davis, except they were all having a date. This place was so good and tranquil, putting their hearts at ease and providing them with such immense comfort that they felt like staying here forever and propagating a big and joyful family, although they knew it was just wishful thinking.

Isabella and Shirley both missed their children, Celestia and Eterna, and wondered how they were during the time they were outside. Although they weren't worried much because their Solitary Soul Avatars were taking care of them, they still couldn't help but miss them because they could tell what was happening on the other side.

Fortunately, they had prepared a lot of milk using Mingzhi's idea and left them with enough resources, although they did want to enjoy the perk of breastfeeding their children.

It just wasn't them as this place made them serene and gave them fruitful and longing thoughts of their loved ones. Even the day and night cycles occurred in this formation, making them see the vicissitudes of life that they couldn't usually see in the outside world.

They didn't know that their mental realms, or wills, were being strengthened here instead of weakened, because every thought of their loved ones made them more motivated to move up the ladder of their own cultivation paths while helping their significant half.

Even Schleya seemed to blend in with the landscape, almost looking like a fallen fairy among the colorful plants and animals. She seemed to have a new respect for life, but she still held on to her beliefs.

*Bzzz!*

At the same time, Mingzhi understood the Elementary Intent of Enigmatic Heart Laws and, like Davis, was finally able to step into that mysterious sea.

But on the other hand, Davis furrowed his brows at Myria, his fingers practically shaking from exhaustion. However, what he was truly worried about was that Myria, or rather, Ellia, wasn't waking up even after a whole day while in addition to that, half a day spent on the ninth floor had already passed!
