Divine Emperor of Death



Davis's gaze was menacing and remained filled with nothing but focus as he crashed into his opponent's zone, arriving right before the Celestial Transcendent instantly.

*Bang!~*

The Celestial Transcendent didn't show any hesitation, stretching his sword forward as he unleashed his incredible power.

"…!"

*Puchi!~*

His sword penetrated through Davis's forehead, or it seemed like that, when suddenly Davis moved his head at point-blank range, causing the space behind him to be rattled as a huge shockwave tore everything in its path.

Davis's eyes went wide as he expected the Celestial Transcendent to slash vertically than use a stab but still, dodging his move at the last moment, he went for the kill as his eyes turned pitch black, countering with a fatal diagonal slash with the two Spears of Damnation.

However, the Celestial Transcendent simply abandoned his chaotic sword and took a step back as he bent his head back, dodging Davis's diagonal carving of the skies. However, when the mighty swing came to an end, Davis twisted his hands and grabbed the spears again, stabbing them into the other party's forehead.

*Pui!~*

However, two legs struck his chest, causing Davis to reel backward as he spat a mouthful of blood. However, he grinned as he had also stabbed the Celestial Transcendent's body in the shoulder and the heart.

The Celestial Transcendent seemed to instantly retreat than pursue, which made Davis's gaze flicker as he gave chase.

However, he was suddenly intercepted by the imperial dragon, an enormous amount of pressure fell on him.

With the dragon having entered his hundred-meter range, Davis abruptly felt as though tens and thousands of mountains weighed on him. Nonetheless, he took a step forward, raised one of the iridescent spears, and pulled his arm back, his muscles twitching and churning with chaotic energy before he unleashed the Spear of Damnation.

*Ripp!~*

It pierced past the air with an incredible speed and shot past the dragon.

However, the annihilative heavenly wind dragon didn't seem fazed and raised its giant claws at Davis and unleashed a hulking claw, causing him to defend with the other Spear of Damnation.

*Clang!~* *Clang!~*  *Clang!~*

The two of them engaged in a flurry of exchanges, heavenly wind blades ripping apart the atmosphere and reincarnation energy swirling around them. However, despite the powerful attacks of the imperial dragon, it seemed to be slowly being pushed back.

"The reincarnation energy is highly effective against Wills and souls alike. It's even causing pain to dwell in a summoned soul that has no effect on my main body."

Looking at this scene, the Celestial Transcendent lightly sighed, unable to believe there existed such a power in such a young soul. But through the corner of his eyes, he also saw that Davis had killed the overpowered Ox like he was killing a dear.

The Spear of Damnation he had thrown at the dragon was actually aimed at the giant ox behind it, but the ox didn't see it coming, and even if it did, it was too late to dodge.

Having its head struck by the reincarnation spear clearly, it didn't even have a chance to display its prowess before its Will collapsed.

In fact, that caused him to sigh rather than feel pain in this summoned soul body.

*Clang!~* *Clang!~* *Clang!~*

Davis slashed the dragon's claw one last time before retreating.

A thick and hulking bolt of lightning rushed past his location before the phoenix, tiger, and rat rapidly chased him.

"Heh~"

Davis again started to gain distance from them to separate them, mocking himself that he could only kill one before retreating again.

Nonetheless, he did an internal check and saw how his energy level was faring.

Having produced five Spear of Damnations already, Davis's soul force was already down by sixty percent.

Fortunately, he had practiced this technique a lot in order to know how to conserve energy with it, especially for this tribulation of his, as he knew he would have to extinguish Wills.

On the other hand, due to using annihilative heavenly wind energy, his essence energy levels had already fallen to sixty percent. It was a pity considering that he hadn't used his essence energy much compared to his soul force, but that was how draining it was to him when using another energy that wasn't innate to him.

But as for martial energy, that was still at seventy percent, reserved to battle the Celestial Transcendent and maintain health.

After all, as long as his body remained strong, he could come up with plans to extinguish them with pure martial might even if he no longer had soul force.

The only reason he wasn't using his martial force, his chaotic energy right now, was because it took too much of his martial energy while he had optimized the Spear of Damnation a lot, making him prefer the latter more for this kind of battle.

*Phi!!!~*

The annihilative heavenly wind phoenix released a resounding cry that shook Davis's heart.

He suddenly felt the carnage he committed to appear before his eyes, millions of eyes dull and full of blame, staring at him with dreadful questions that made his heart sink.

Why were they dead?

What wrong had they done to him?

Why should they die when they had nothing to do with the Fire Phoenix Clan's upper echelons?

"Break!~"

Davis's expression churned as he yelled out, causing the scene before him to shatter.

*Boom!~*

However, space shattered at his location, causing him to fall into a quagmire of layers. However, he unleashed a punch using his gray-silver-clad fist, causing him to be sent flying from entrapped space that was almost crushing him to death.

Raising his head, he stared at the annihilative heavenly wind rat before turning his gaze towards the phoenix.

"Heart Demons rarely work on me, Majestic Phoenix. If I had hurt you before with my desperate words, then I apologize."

Davis uttered with a sigh before his figure disappeared. His speed that was slow abruptly turned extremely fast.

The Celestial Transcendent regained full control over his senses as the Spear of Damnation caused his Will to shudder greatly. Still, despite the setback, he quickly shot after Davis but now saw him appear over the head of the phoenix and cut down with immense momentum.

The fatal vertical slash he unleashed cleaved apart the phoenix in half.

However, Davis suddenly shot towards the side, his legs spurting out blood in copious amounts as he seemed to have greatly injured his meridians again by using annihilative heavenly wind and heavenly flames again and again.

But as he retreated, he conjoined his hands, and energy seemed to brim within his palms, suddenly resonating.

The Spear of Damnation that seemed to have been left between the phoenix's carved body exploded with an iridescent glow. It didn't even release a resounding explosion but just a silent breeze of wind that seemingly colored the world in black and white, causing the phoenix's jade-crimson heavenly wind body to simply disperse without even a hint of rebirth.

"Hmm?"

However, Davis suddenly noticed that the undulations of the reincarnation energy he exploded caused these heavenly manifestations to shudder.

From the Celestial Transcendent to the remaining Paragon Magical beasts, namely the rat, tiger, rabbit, fox, turtle, kirin, and dragon, they all unequivocally shuddered, causing his eyes to widen.

*Wrpp!~*

His legs burst apart completely, exploding into a fountain of blood. However, he was already above the dragon that was close to him, his hand clad in grayish-silver energy punching its head.

*BOOOM!~*

The instant his fist made contact with the dragon's head, its heavenly wind body exploded from head to toe, not even leaving behind its annihilative heavenly wind essence.

But at the same time, Davis flinched ever so lightly as he looked at his legs start to regenerate with life energy fueling his recovery.

At this moment, he was extremely vulnerable as his speed dropped by a great margin without his legs. Although he could still maneuver in the air and fly with immense speed, it still wouldn't match the speed when his legs were there to dash through the skies.

Nonetheless, the heavenly creatures didn't seem to be well off either, appearing to have just regained their control over their annihilative heavenly wind bodies as they approached him from all sides, seeking to destroy him.

But using this time, he was able to gain enough distance again, wanting to use the time gained to restore his legs.

*Whoosh!~*

*Bang!~*

Davis was sent flying like a kite that had its strings cut. Even though he properly defended himself, he had lost the battle of strength.

Regardless, he forcefully tried to regain balance as he flipped himself in mid-air and braced for the menace that was the Celestial Transcendent with a broken arm that was rapidly healing itself again!
