Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2254 Death And Heavenly Lightning

Chapter 2254 Death And Heavenly Lightning

Davis's figure flashed in the airspace of the Vital Tempering Sect Territory, appearing between the squirming crevices of the two grayish dragons.

He had killed more than a thousand Vacuous Beasts already, stopping the count because he was tired of it, not to mention his essence energy dropped to twenty percent while his soul force was hovering between forty to fifty percent, thanks to Fallen Heaven's refining speed.

As a result, although his soul force was recovering at a much faster rate than essence energy, giving him some kind of leeway, it still was not enough as his exhaustion was becoming more prevalent, causing him to falter over high accuracy Death Rays which allowed some Vacuous Beasts to near and almost devour him whole.

Not that it mattered as he could easily come out as he would incinerate the Vacuous Beasts with heavenly flames from inside, but that still cost him more than necessary essence energy, which he was falling short on.

*Roarr!!!~*

'I guess it's time...'

His eyes squinted while two rays of death energy flashed from his index fingers, destroying the two grayish dragons who had turned their heads as their giant bodies curved from a long distance in order to devour him.

Their bloodthirsty eyes became dull while his figure flashed again, dodging the maws of other tens of Vacuous Beasts that tried to get a piece of him. Just as he was about to be overwhelmed, an intense undulation surged from behind, hot and cold, one that cast a chill in his heart.

*Boom!!!~*

A scarlet-white hue exploded behind him, sending him flying as an intense wave of heat and cold surged in all directions! However, hundreds of Vacuous Beasts became sublime in an instant, evaporating away like they never existed amidst the overbearing light.

Not only him but the majority of the giant Vacuous Beasts in his vicinity were sent flying, crashing towards the distance without a stop.

*Whizzz!~*

However, a crimson-white robed man suddenly appeared beside him and caught him, causing his expression to freeze as he saw Founder Alstreim Windstorm smiling with a stiff expression on his face, not at him but at the explosion as though he couldn't believe the destruction the head-sized wisp of ice and fire caused!

"This… what kind of Laws was that…?" His lips quivered when a crimson-robed woman appeared in front of them.

"Husband!!! Thank goodness! You're still safe..."

Davis stepped away from Founder Alstreim, who shielded him before he turned to look at that woman, his expression angered.

"Shirley, you almost killed me…!"

"Uh~" Shirley's relieved expression froze, "I'm sorry! I measured the distance between the range of the ice and fire explosion and you through your undulations, figuring out the- "

"I know, I know. I was just kidding..."

Davis abruptly made an amused expression as he patted Shirley's shoulder, causing her lips to twitch.

"Be serious!"

She lashed out as she stamped her foot in mid-air, erupting with a wave of scarlet flames that burned a surviving grayish rabbit head below to ashes, but he couldn't get enough of her cuteness.

Sometimes, he felt that his lovely women needed to chill, but he couldn't stop teasing them when they were like this either. He would prefer them to have strong and passionate emotions over having an expressionless and unresponsive face anytime.

However, his expression turned solemn as he opened his mouth.

"Where's Lea?"

"She's safe in the Burning Phoenix Ridge. Watch out. The Vacuous Beasts are coming again..."

With her combination of Ice and Fire Laws, Shirley almost took out an entire quadrant while the remaining Vacuous Beasts were sent flying from the shockwave. The Vacuous Beasts on the opposite end that were unharmed were now approaching them at the moment while the others were brainlessly trying to squirm and rush past the line, only to bump or ram into each other, which further delayed them.

"I don't know how much I will be of use but let me help as well."

Founder Alstreim smirked lightly, an excited glint appearing in his eyes as he clenched his fists.

Davis slightly stared at Founder Alstreim as he found excitement and fear in his eyes. However, he didn't find hatred against the Vacuous Beasts for some reason, causing him to blink as he walked towards the front, his undulations blaring as it picked up like the storm.

His tyrannical aura made the Vacuous Beasts roar at him, appearing to be heavily provoked, while the storm of undulations he kicked up sent Shirley and Founder Alstreim flying back from pressure.

"Both of you retreat and only support with your all-out attacks when needed."

Davis raised his hand, stretching out his five fingers as he moved his lips.

"Nadia, go…"

*Whoosh!~*

A dark ray of light shot out from Davis's forehead, transforming into a majestic dark-winged wolf with three tails flailing behind it. The very sight of it mesmerized Shirley and Founder Alstreim as they saw its wings spread and the left and right tail shed, abruptly turning into two more dark-winged wolves.

Nadia's purple fur flailed in the air while her pitch-black horn radiated an air of death. The atmosphere of death covered her body as many strands of death energy flew around her like otherworld dragonflies. Her two doppelgangers surged with a similar air of death but spread more towards the main body, forming an ominous curvature.

At the same time, their figures became shrouded in pitch-black air, a deathly mist brewing in all directions as they rushed towards the emerging Vacuous Beasts, who were still intent on biting Davis to death as though they couldn't live under the same skies!

However, the very next moment they passed through the deathly mist, their bloodthirsty eyes became dull, causing them to plunge towards the surface and become a mere stack to the many immortal carcasses that lay lifeless.

Ten, eighteen, twenty-six, forty-four, sixty-eight, seventy-four, hundred and one, hundred and thirty-eight…

Moment after moment, the number of carcasses kept increasing at a blinding speed before the deathly mist came to a halt. The range of the curvature covered a sixty kilometers horizontal and thirty kilometers vertical.

The long curvature was like a grinning maw, swallowing the Vacuous Beasts that mindlessly entered. They all lost their lives inevitably, falling like giant droplets without any lake to support their fall.

*Bam!~* *Bam!~* *Bam!~*

The sound of massive bodies crashing on the surface and flattening chunks of flesh kept resounding to no end, causing not only Davis to be wide-eyed but also Shirley and Founder Alstreim to tremble.

"This is… Nadia's current species technique…?"

Shirley's dumbfounded voice echoed, causing Davis to feel proud as he shook his head.

"Of course not. This is a normal technique surging from her prowess, enough to reach Level One Immortal Beast Stage. As for her current species technique..."

Davis couldn't help but smile as he became silent.

After all, Nadia seemed to finally have… inherited memories! It was unlocked when she became an Emperor-Tier Magical Beast, but it resurfaced slowly, causing many techniques and information to swell into her head.

Nadia digested this information while eating his death energy like a glutton in the shelter situated in his soul sea, living a fruitful life. Nonetheless, the moment she stepped out, she displayed her vast prowess that surged five levels higher. Her Emperor-Tier Bloodline gave her four levels of increase, and her death energy provided her with one more level.

However, if she were to unleash her species technique… Davis felt that she could enter six levels above altogether!

This was only as a mortal beast! If Nadia were to become an immortal beast and managed to retain her Emperor-Tier Bloodline, her prowess would only increase more!

In front of the deathly might surging from three Nadias, the Vacuous Beasts didn't stand a chance, falling off like poisoned flies.

However, not every Vacuous Beast got caught in their deathly mist.

They rushed past the deathly mist from the side, paying it no need for some reason as they rushed towards Davis's tyrannical undulations.

"You dumb beasts seem to like me a lot, huh!?"

*Bzzzz!~*

Heavenly lightning took shape over his body as a female figure overlapped with him, transforming into a black-silver armor. A threatening black-silver spear appeared in his grasp as it undulated with an extreme might when he abruptly disappeared.

*Schwing!~*

A piercing sound resounded as the black-silver lightning streak rushed through a grayish dragon's head, appearing behind its back. However, it didn't stop, abruptly shooting towards the left and piercing a grayish phoenix's head, striking it down with a resounding thunderclap and killing it in the process.

*Schwing!~* *Schwing!~* *Schwing!~*

Davis directly pierced into the heads of the Vacuous Beasts, appearing on the other side as he kept destroying their blood cores with the heavenly lightning spear. His figure was like a streak of lightning, traveling in all directions instead of just striking down as it continuously reaped lives.

Shirley's eyes were wide as she saw him pierce through the Vacuous Beasts as though they were made of tofu. Just his speed alone was impossible to catch, but before the Vacuous Beasts could realize where he was, they got stabbed right between their eyes and died, losing their lives instantly.

What's more, she recognized this move as Natalya had shown it to her before. The appearance was similar, but instead of lightning, Natalya wore ice.

'Prismatic Intramural Soul-Spirit Pact's second level...'

One should not be mistaken that Nadia was the only glutton Davis had because Eldia had also eaten large chunks of his heavenly lightning every day, improving her body constitution and energy's prowess to a mind-boggling five levels higher!

When she activated them together, it even had the strength to enter six levels above!

Combined with the second level of the Intramural Soul-Spirit Pact's second level that increased their prowess by twelve percent a stage, their prowess had entered the very peak of seven levels above, causing the Vacuous Beasts to lose their lives every time a ray of black-silver lightning flashed past them.

*Schwing!~~~*

A streak of black-silver lightning rushed past tens of Vacuous Beasts as though they were lined up perfectly, causing their heads to explode into a gruesome lake of black blood.

'Oops… I must lower the usage of Eldia's energy. Otherwise, she would get exhausted soon...'

Since Eldia's prowess added to his prowess that was already seven levels above while using heavenly lightning, the rate of energy usage had drastically reduced over their shared powers.

Davis's eyes flashed with a dark-silver light as he kept piercing through the flesh and air like an unstoppable spear without a stop.

Even though Davis kept the essence energy usage at the bare minimum all this while, the Vacuous Beasts practically could not do anything against him, only able to unwillingly fall as their hollow bodies crashed into the ground, forming mountains that were tens of kilometers high!

After all, their total kill count had reached two thousand and three hundred Vacuous Beast as of this very moment!
