Divine Emperor of Death



"Heaven Immortal King Davis, can our Thunderforge Citadel Lower Realm have the opportunity to obtain this pill made from this heavenly resource?"

Suddenly, General Jerald piped in with a wry smile, "I promise we'll pay a hefty sum if you're willing to part with even one or perhaps two-"

"No."

Davis interrupted him, "Not for transcendent crystals. If you want to trade with me, bring out treasures of similar value."

Fairy Ruyan and Fairy Nila had just started regretting not being quick with their minds, but seeing Davis reject General Jerald, they heaved a sigh of relief but then furrowed their brows.

Did General Jerald have something of similar value? Or something that could catch this Fiend's interest?

"Understood." General Jerald rubbed his head but extended out his hand, " Can we exchange messaging talismans?"

Davis's brows narrowed as he looked at the messaging talisman in General Jerald's hand, causing him to smile.

"How about I leave a slave seal on you so you can contact me whenever you want?"

"…"

The smile on General Jerald's face froze.

"Whatever your intentions may be, you will get a chance to meet me and make a trade as long as you're alive."

Davis scoffed lightly, "If you're smart, you'll scram right now. As for the ladies, if you want to test my self-restraint, you can also stay."

Fairy Ruyan and Fairy Nila shivered, especially as they recalled how they couldn't move their limbs even if they wanted to.

They hurriedly cupped their hands and left. Their teammates lying low in the distance after being thoroughly suppressed by Davis also regrouped, leaving only the Thunderforge Citadel Lower Realm's people remaining.

General Jerald looked as though he was seriously offended, his eyes wide, but he also turned around and eventually left.

Davis lightly smiled and shouted, "Bring me some Empyreal Monarchs if you can."

It was unknown if General Jerald in the distance heard or not before he completely disappeared, causing Davis to shake his head before he returned his gaze to Vereina.

"And… have you decided yet? You had your time to think. Your window of opportunity closes in three… two…"

"Do it! I'll do it!"

Vereina raised her hands and blurted out. However, only after she said it did she clench her teeth, regret written all over her face as she was coerced into agreeing, especially as she saw a devious smirk appearing on his face.

After all, it was true that she had time to think, but she was also careful if a fight would break out, so she wasn't thinking about it at all. She looked at him with a pout as her eyes rippled, wondering why he was so mean to her.

Was it the kick? Because she kicked him on the leg? But hadn't he already taken revenge on that when he made her caress his leg by asking her to administer medicinal paste for hitting his leg?

"Well, you have now accepted it. If you want to go against it, it's better to leave the group than face my wrath."

Davis chuckled with an evil smile.

"…"

His actions certainly didn't give a good impression to those who followed him, but his women giggled, and Myria shook her head, knowing that this man didn't have the wickedness to treat an innocent woman so badly.

However, if he wanted to peek into Vereina's soul sea so badly that he was prepared to be portrayed as a villain, so they knew there must be something valuable for him, perhaps for their survival.

Davis cast a glance over to his women, wondering if they would say he was treating Vereina badly, but they appeared to have no comment on it, causing him to become moved. Regardless, he maintained the wicked act and caused Vereina to fear him.

For one, he didn't want her to escape from his gaze, as he did change his mind and wanted to peek into her soul essence as the opportunity presented himself like a delicacy, leaving him tempted.

And two, she really was cute in his eyes.

The way she tried not to offend him yet still wanted to trod his bottom line was funny to watch. He didn't want her to face danger as it felt like she was already a part of his family- although distant than most, she was still close as she was together with him for most of the time, with him kidnapping her since he didn't believe her to be a good person.

He felt that she would've betrayed and exposed him, considering that she was a smart woman who only cared about survival, which was understandable as a fellow Divergent, but only after she kicked his leg did he know that this woman was not shameless and had pride hidden within her understanding heart.

"Hmph~"

Vereina merely harrumphed in response and gained distance from him.

Davis shrugged and gestured for the group to continue their journey.

He took out the list, scanned and gave it to Myria for her to also check.

"Would you like to split? The group's big-"

"No. Let the others split if they want to."

Myria answered in a cold tone, causing Davis to smile as he pointed in a direction, "Let's go!~"

His cheerful voice put a smile on many faces.

Davis led his group towards another treasure, which was five hundred and eighty thousand kilometers away to the west from his estimates. It was a bit parallel to the temple, which was in the southeast direction, separated by millions of kilometers, but still, he felt that there was still time for the temple to open as the other key was hidden somewhere in this world.

One key was already with the Azure Dragon Upper Realm's youths.

Perhaps, as he was hunting treasures, the other key was being karmic traced by the Upper Realms right now. He didn't know who would obtain the missing key, but he knew it should take some time. He was betting that it would take some time as he also didn't want to miss the opportunity to obtain the Lustrous Celestial Fruit.

After all, not only did this fruit increase the innate affinity over Laws, which was extremely rare, but it also allowed one to detect heavenly resources growing within the realm due to its relation to the realm itself by being a fruit borne from the Ethereal Lumina Tree.

Regardless, he wanted to get all the things he could get his hands on, even souvenirs for his people back in the Aurora Cloud Gate if possible.

But they didn't even travel two thousand kilometers before running into Feral Beasts that roared and tried to eat them, only proving to annoy them. However, Davis grinned as he became a whirlwind of death, weaving and seeping through the hundreds of Feral Beasts with much enthusiasm as he continued to practice his scythe arts.

Learning from him, the others also moved out, quickly clearing the obstacles as they made their way to the destination.

Halfway through, they were even lucky enough to obtain a resource that was good for the ice phoenix disciples adopted by Cyclonis Blizzara. They found the icy crystals when diving under a lake that was half frozen at the bottom.

But after they crossed an icy lake, they crossed through sparse vegetation and entered a mountain region. From flourishing greenery to gray ashes, they neared a volcanic mountain region and tried to search for the treasure known as Molten Goldcrust Core, a treasure that was highly beneficial for Bylai.
