Divine Emperor of Death

"Forget what I said."

Just when Davis thought Myria was going to demand Fallen Heaven or indirectly mention its return, she shook her head, continuing.

"Since you have the requirements at hand, I'll teach you the Fallen Soul Resurrection Technique. Come with me."

Davis blinked, turning to look at Evelynn. She nodded with a light smile, causing him to nod at her before he left together with Myria, entering the palace.

On the other hand, Evelynn turned to look at Sect Master Bing Luli, wondering if it was okay for her to hear all this stuff when the latter was still in shock, her eyes wide as saucers as though she couldn't believe the exchange between Davis and Myria.

Evelynn's eyes narrowed, noticing that Sect Master Bing Luli was quite close to Myria to be able to hear this matter at close hand. Nonetheless, she couldn't help but near sect Master Bing Luli, causing her to become cautious as she noticed the movement.

"I ask you to remain silent on this matter, or the consequences will haunt you."

Sect Master Bing Luli instantly understood Evelynn's worries, her cautious gaze producing a playful smile as they curved.

"There's no need to worry as I've sworn loyalty to Fairy Myria even if she doesn't let me."

"I don't care about your loyalty to her. What I care about is if your mouth could harm my husband."

Evelynn coldly uttered, causing Sect Master Bing Luli to sigh.

"Such a passionate and protective wife. Even if you didn't say anything, I wouldn't try to harm an ally. I'm not that cunning or backstabbing in nature."

"That's the case from what I'd seen from you so far, but I hope that remains the case."

"…"

Sect Master Bing Luli was slightly taken aback by Evelynn's solemness. It seemed like she really heard something she shouldn't have heard, although she could only hear the part about the Emperor of Death having been indebted to Myria. The other conversations were blurred.

Still… was that supposed to be that humiliating for Evelynn?

However, she could understand the first wife didn't want her husband to be humiliated, making her nod her head.

Evelynn turned around and flew away, but she stopped and returned her gaze again.

"Is this how the Mystic Ice Sect treats its guests?"

"… Please, follow me~" Sect Master Bing Luli melodiously echoed, "I'm happy to show the renowned wife of the Emperor of Death around."

Evelynn lightly smiled as she flew towards her, happy at someone not referring to her as the Hex Demoness but his wife.

========

Myria brought Davis to a large hall inside the tall and luxurious palace and turned around.

"Take it out."

Davis blinked once, twice, and thrice before he lowered his head to look at his pant in an exaggerated manner. The next second, he lifted his head and stared at Myria, blinking innocently.

Myria felt like rolling her eyes but moved her lips, "Don't play around."

"The Chaos Essence Orb, right? I know…"

"Are you serious?"

Myria looked utterly annoyed, causing Davis to crack a bright smile as he almost lost it and laughed out loud.

He waved his hand, summoning the Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace in its miniature form.

"Are you willing to enter my palace?"

"I'm not afraid of you. Neither will you do something to me."

Myria took a step forward and turned into a streak of light as she entered the palace. Davis nodded three times in acceptance of her words before he too disappeared, his figure reappearing on the ground floor of the Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace.

Here, he took out the Chaos Essence Orb and gave it to her.

After all, if he took it out outside, space would cave in and become annihilated. The best-case scenario would be the Chaos Essence Orb getting lost in the void, and the worst-case scenario would be the destruction of the Fifty-Two Territories.

After all, who knows what kind of reaction a pure source of Chaos had on the void?

Myria said that it would take a while, so he sat down and began stabilizing his Soul Forging Cultivation as he watched her set up a spirit formation, moving here and there. After some time, he couldn't understand heads or tails of what she was doing and consequently closed his eyes, concentrating on his Soul Forging Cultivation.

Two days later, he opened his eyes, having refined some of Infernal Lightning Palace Immortal's soul essence to stabilize his Soul Forging Cultivation. However, Myria was still setting up a spirit formation, her eyes looking tired as a bag, causing his expression to twitch.

He couldn't help but feel that he was needlessly burdening her.

"Do you need help?"

Myria finally stopped in mid-air, turning to look at him as silence ensued.

After some time, she moved and created some runes in the air, seemingly ignoring but once she finished that, she nodded her head.

"I could use some."

"What do I need to do?"

Davis stood up, appearing ready.

"Supply me your soul force in that formation."

Myria pointed at the new spirit formation she created, causing Davis to nod. He appeared in front of it and raised his hand, starting to supply his soul force. The spirit formation seemingly stored his soul force, and Myria found nothing of concern because Davis was only using his soul force in the form of life energy.

He split the reincarnation energy at the source, giving birth to two strands of life energy. This meant not only did his ability to use life energy and death energy did not decrease, but it also meant that it vastly sped up, allowing him to quickly form life energy techniques and death energy techniques.

Davis was full of excitement over this matter, but he kept his face calm.

However, Myria couldn't help but notice that his comprehension of Life Laws had drastically improved. Moreover, she also noticed that the grayish tint of impurity that she had seen on his Life Laws before had significantly reduced, no longer visible like before.

His drastic improvement couldn't help but make her feel strange, but she could tell that it was because of the Artificial Soul Physique he dared to make.

Nonetheless, borrowing his soul force that increased her own, she continued the work.

Another two days later, she constructed a grand spirit formation that extracted thirty percent of essence from the Chaos Essence Orb.

Another tiny orb formed in the center of the grand formation while the Chaos Essence Orb towered above it, seemingly appearing volatile as though it could explode at any moment. However, Myria waved her hand, deactivating the grand spirit formation.

Her actions caused the two Chaos Essence Orbs, one tiny and another small, to return to normal.

Davis collected the small Chaos Essence Orb while Myria collected the tiny one, storing them in their spatial rings. However, it was only Davis who stored it back, while Myria seemed hesitant before sending the tiny Chaos Essence Orb to him.

"Hold onto it for a while. I can't take it outside at the moment."

"Right."

Davis perfunctorily nodded as he kept the tiny Chaos Essence Orb here, but a jade case abruptly appeared between them, causing him to blink. He walked forwards and placed the tiny Chaos Essence Orb in that jade case and waked towards Myria, appearing in front of her as he presented it to her.

"It seems that someone really likes you."

"I'm quite shocked myself."

Myria wondered if it was the palace spirit that sent her the jade casing, but she couldn't understand why.

Nonetheless, she accepted the jade casing from Davis, their fingers brushing slightly.

The jade casing quickly disappeared after having entered her spatial ring. The next second, she took a deep breath and sat down.

"You shouldn't have been as exhausted as me, so listen carefully. The Fallen Soul Resurrection Technique has..."

Davis also sat down as he began hearing her explanation about the revival technique before she went on to teach him.

Another two days later, both of their figures disappeared from the Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace.

Davis cupped his hands towards Myria with newfound respect and bid farewell to Ellia before he left the Mystic Ice Sect with Evelynn.

Myria returned to her palace when suddenly a curious voice echoed in her soul sea.

"Myria, did you feel it?"

"Feel what?" Myria raised her brows.

"I… I felt attracted to him." Ellia strangely uttered, "I mean, I'm always attracted to him, but this time, it was different. My soul is reacting to him as though he's-"

"You're overthinking it. All I can say is that young fellow most likely held back when we clashed. His soul prowess overwhelms us at this moment, but that is only for a short time. After all, it won't be long before we become immortal."

Myria lightly smiled, causing Ellia to pause for a moment before her adorable voice echoed.

"Mhm~ But let's go take some rest. You badly need it, sister."

"…"

"I'll do that."

Myria shortly arrived at her bedchamber and pounced face down on the soft pillow, entering a state of deep sleep when Ellia suddenly took over, turning around on the bed as she looked at the ceiling.

'Is this what they call physique attraction? Something that similarly happens between users of Exquisite Nine Yin Body and Exquisite Nine Yang Body?'

'But… Davis and I could only possibly share a similar Soul Physique…!? Although he called his physique the Everlasting Samsara Tribunal Soul Physique, he could use life and death energy like us, so how could it attract…?'

Ellia remained full of questions and no answers, becoming lost before she also rested.
