Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4620: Taking Advantage Of A Bane

Davis looked elsewhere and sucked in a cold breath. The chill seeped through his gums, making him calm down.

Most of these lives, he had no idea what to do with them, as he didn’t like to engage in meaningless slaughter. However, he just couldn’t let them go either, as they were his spoils of war, and if he were any weaker, he knew these geniuses would try to turn him into karmic virtue for their own gain.

’Well, I guess I could release those three first and decide later...’

Davis glanced at the soulless bodies of the three supreme geniuses whom he met and conversed with.

His gaze wandered, wondering if he recognized anyone else among them.

He didn’t.

However, on a closer look, he actually found the Stellar Empyrean Gatecaller Spirits that he wanted to capture and have them serve Stella so as to cover her weaknesses, but here they were, captured by Almer Spacewill.

He supposed Almer Spacewill was also in the space-attributed High-Level Shard Region or some other similar region.

"Good..."

He nodded, knowing who to release and who not to release among the 3258 geniuses of the human race, 788 magical beasts, of which 54 were at King-Tier and 17 were at Emperor-Tier. As for the spirits, they numbered less, over 459, but the quality of the spirits was obviously higher since they were nurtured in the Shard World.

The effect of the Shard World had yet to leave their soul essences since time was frozen for them.

As for the Empyrean Stage ones of all races, he didn’t consider them, as they wouldn’t help him increase his soul prowess but cause him to break through.

’Wait a minute... isn’t this dimension suppressing my breakthrough...? If I try to absorb soul essences at the Empyrean Grade and strengthen my soul while the dimension’s restriction is acting against my breakthrough, suppressing it, the result would be an internal collapse, but my soul has some space to grow from enduring the Eternal Eclipse Bird’s Ghost Will for so long... Perhaps I could use that to my advantage...’

Davis had his hand before his face as he rubbed his chin with his fingers, appearing full of dangerous ideas.

As for Exalt-level soul essences, he doubted he could absorb them since he might burst. He couldn’t even withstand one for a day without having to sleep. That’s how dangerous it was to even attempt.

He returned to the Luminous Rage Shard Region and headed to an isolated place where he couldn’t sense anyone else.

He arrived at the center of an area of low, flat land with a cracked surface and mounds surrounded by cliffs of mountains. It was barren, but deep underneath, he could sense a river of fire waiting to burst one day.

Davis chose a suitable mound and carved out a throne for himself as he overlooked the basin from a grand height.

He closely surveyed the surroundings and didn’t find the two lurking after he finished the battle with Almer Spacewill, making him still wonder who exactly those two were and what their intent was in doing nothing to him while harming Almer Spacewill from waking up.

It was incredulous to him that someone unknown would want to save him unless they wanted something from him.

Since they didn’t appear, he carried out his plans.

He waved his hand, causing the three bodies of the supreme geniuses to appear. They fell to the ground on the mound. At the same time, he also forced their souls out and forcefully imbued them over their soulless bodies before unleashing his life energy to heal them.

Houdini Terssky of the Great White Peak Sect was the first one to wake up as he found himself sitting up and looking at the surroundings carefully. He spotted the ’fake’ Divine Emperor of Death first and quickly spanned his gaze, searching for the anomaly that made him faint and enter an illusion, unaware of the battle that took place afterwards.

His heart trembled and his soul hurt, making his thoughts slower.

Only then did he realize who actually tore his soul from his body at that dangerous moment, causing his gaze to fall on the purple-robed, blonde-haired man before him. At the same time, he finally sensed the strange yet soothing pure white energy healing his soul.

His heart was immediately in shambles as he realized something to his horror.

The other man and the red-haired woman also woke up.

Davis waited for them to calm down before he waved his hand and made them stand up, displaying absolute control over their lives.

Houdini Terssky possessed a peculiar expression on his face that made one unsure if he was smiling or crying. The other man was still dumbfounded, while the woman with the heavy makeup was horrified.

The three of them realized they were facing the true Divine Emperor of Death.

"Speak. How do you three want to die?"

Davis’s cold voice echoed across the land, plunging them down into an abyssal chill even though their surroundings were hot.

Only after the pressure lessened could they even barely force themselves to talk.

"It’s my... my fault. I had eyes but couldn’t see your true self. I suppose I can’t escape this wrath, so please let me die with an intact corpse. Send me back to my family." Houdini Terssky chuckled dryly.

"Please let me go! I’ll do anything!" The other man screamed for forgiveness.

"I heard... I heard you are crazy for women and do unspeakable things to them. I don’t want you~ You can’t obtain me, so kill me without even leaving a body..." The red-haired woman had already begun to cry.

Her facade of being a vixen fell thoroughly as she revealed an innocent surface, making Davis speechless.

When had he ever done unspeakable things to women? The rumors about him were indeed getting out of hand. He had no way of controlling it, so he just shook his head.

Seeing Davis shake his head, the three of them were alarmed and full of despair.

They felt like he was healing them with his fabled life energy to torture them.
