Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4762  Fourth Realm Of Enigmatic Heart Laws

"My little Rioxys! Did something happen to you? Are you fine?"

The Guardian of the Myriad Coiling Spirit Peak flew from his altar and landed before Rioxys Plume, hurriedly inspecting her.

Davis almost instantly lowered his head, knowing he shouldn't look at the Guardian. However, he momentarily felt a hint of confusion.

His spiritual perception actually didn't warn him not to look at the deity like it always did.

While still looking down, Davis's cold expression appeared thoughtful, 'A change brought about by my comprehension of Level Three Obscure Intent?'

He wondered if he should look at the Guardian since it would expose his newfound powers. However, he glanced at Fairy Velvetmoon at the entrance of the Altar Hall, knowing the fact he could control her exposed his capability.

He cleared the surge of hatred in his eyes and returned his gaze below, informing the Guardian of the situation after Rioxys Plume mentioned she was fined and nothing happened to her.

As Davis explained, Rioxys Plume's lips parted in shock as she turned to stare at her only friend in this mountain, a pang of sorrowful emotions seeking to overwhelm her.

"Insolent charm spirit. So she is under the orders of Grand Elder Catalyx, who made me distracted as she suddenly gathered one other Grand Elder and went to battle a True Deity Realm Calamity nearby. The foolish one seemed oblivious and remained inside the peak as though he was going to take action against me after I left to deal with the Calamity, so I had no choice but to wait. It turns out that they had planned to harm my daughter through these idiots. Hmph!" The Guardian looked incensed, his aura increasingly billowing as he glared at Fairy Velvetmoon.

Fairy Velvetmoon's expression was already aghast as she kept her gaze down. Sensing the overwhelming killing intent, she jolted and exclaimed with terror, "Save me, dear!"

Davis sneered, "Why don't you rely on Grand Elder Catalyx to save you?"

He had control over her Will through the charm link she had created, so she had completely fallen for him. With his command, she would be willing to do anything, but she was still herself; right now, fearful and full of despair.

"No, if I failed, Master has no way to save me. She was explicit about it, and I agreed to repay her kindness. Please don't abandon me, dear! Spare me, Guardian!"

Fairy Velvetmoon knelt and completely retracted her charming aura.

Davis liked what he was seeing, but coldly harrumphed before he returned his gaze down towards the Guardian.

"Time is of the essence. Since you can't protect Rioxys Plume here, it would be wise to send her away with me to the True Immortal World quickly."

"You-" The Guardian shot an incensed gaze at him before he went silent.

After a pause, his solemn eyes flickered, "You look different than before. You said you reversed the technique on her using a consumable treasure, but I don't sense any traces of something external being used. How did you manage to charm a charm spirit back? That is impossible even for an Exalt Spirit at the same level."

He narrowed his eyes, intending to see through his secrets as he scoured Davis's soul.

His eyes then shot wide, "Your Will… it has taken shape, comparable to that of a Peak Exalt! Impossible…!"

"…"

Davis was already exhausted. His soul force was nearly drained by ninety percent. He was running on fumes, on the brink of collapsing any moment due to the sudden usage of ninety percent of his soul force. It wouldn't even be strange if he had gone into a coma. However, his Will was so strong that it kept him awake despite the overwhelming exhaustion.

The Guardian's soul sense swept through Davis's soul repeatedly.

However, he couldn't find anything peculiar other than the reincarnation physique, which he already knew about back when he first checked. At that time, he remembered Davis's Will hadn't even taken shape, but now, it was firmly embedded in his soul like a talisman seal.

It was something only Exalts and above could sense.

For some reason, he couldn't define its shape since it was hazy even in his view. When he tried to probe further, a chill ran down his spine, and he took his senses back.

'Even my divine sense is afraid…?' He looked at the Anarchic Divergent in shock, a hint of fear flashing past in his eyes for the first time.

His gaze repeatedly fell on Davis and Rioxys back to back, wondering if he should eliminate this Calamity right now before it could grow! A tremendous sensation of foreboding filled his soul as he knew this Calamity would not be anything good for the universe as a whole. Killing him might even give him the karmic luck to overturn the situation here.

It was such a meritorious deed that he simply couldn't dismiss it for the sake of his granddaughter alone.

"…"

Davis also felt a sense of foreboding. He refrained from thinking about Fallen Heaven during this time, careful about soul scouring that eluded his detection. After all, what he was facing was a Darkness True Deity Spirit that was skilled in the art of the mystic, which included divinations, soul curses, and many more.

But now, he felt the need to take Fallen Heaven out.

However, this foreboding feeling faded when a hint of a cry broke out.

Rioxys Plume's eyes were filled with tears as she cried, the tears dripping down her obsidian skin and turning into dark wisps as they hit the ground.

"Please… it's enough… no more…" She begged them, "I only have a few friends and finally found you, Grandpa, my family. Please don't kill him… please don't fight…"

Both Davis and the Guardian were stunned.

Rioxys Plume was astute. She knew her solemn and careful grandfather would kill the Anarchic Divergent since he had shown a terrifying growth potential. She was no longer ignorant and also knew killing Anarchic Divergents would provide one with immense karmic luck and karmic virtue.

The Guardian had frozen as he recalled something, the same plea but a different place and time.

"Father, I have met a lonely darkness spirit… do you think I should speak with him?"

"Father, there's a terrifying Realm Calamity in his Elemental Pocket… can you save his tribe? Why won't we move against anything that doesn't concern our peak…?"

"Father, why can't you be understanding of me…? You never see me and only try to hunt that thing to avenge mother while not even trying to discipline the other peaks. Even if you don't see me, that's fine, but please be careful… and be safe…!"

A melodious voice resonated in his soul multiple times, making him close his eyes as he felt a hint of regret for not looking at his one and only daughter properly.

When he opened his eyes, he could only gaze at Rioxys Plume with a hint of shame.

"The truth is that I'm heavily injured after a battle with a True Deity Realm Calamity at my level. It was the one who took your grandmother, Little Rioxys…"

He revealed, causing Rioxys Plume to be stunned as her tears came to a stop.

He continued, "In the next few decades, the formation is undoubtedly going to select the next Guardian at the time when the path to the True Immortal World closes. I don't have much time. In my life, I have offended too many spirits to keep the peace of the mountain. These other peaks are filled with hatred for me. In this life, all I wished was for a peaceful life and a family, but that damned thing took your grandmother away from me."

He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, "I was looking to leave the peak anyway. It was none of my concern until… you returned."

"…" Rioxys Plume's expression churned. She threw herself into his arms, crying into his chest for the first time like a child.

The Guardian appeared taken aback before he caressed her lovely black hair.

He turned to look at Davis, who still had his head lowered.

"Do you know what you achieved?"

"…?" Davis didn't know. He quickly said, "Please enlighten me, elder."

The Guardian held Rioxys Plume with love and care as he looked into the distance, heaving a gentle sigh, "I heard that humans possess Phyletic Laws known as Enigmatic Heart Laws, known for their empathetic ability but also manipulation to the highest order. This matter was widely spoken about back then when your human race's expert, the Sky Word Emperor, broke through the True Deity Stage by cultivating a heart-attributed Godskull. He was indeed peerless and compassionate, wanting all the lifeforms to be capable of understanding each other."

"However, his comprehension of Enigmatic Heart Laws left everyone terrified, his terrifying Will capable of suppressing anything, even True Dragons, as his Will seeped into the universe and allowed every being, including us spirits in the Three Layers and the Dimensions, to come into the powerful knowledge of the Sky Word Language. If I remember correctly, it was called the State of Divine Possession, the fourth realm of Enigmatic Heart Laws."

"…!?"

Hearing this, Davis was stunned.

The Sky Emperor sacrificed his life and actually possessed a part of the universe!?

Was this the true potential of a Will that had comprehended the State of Divine Possession in the True Deity Stage!?
