Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2903 Convergence

?

Davis appeared as though he heard something funny, but his expression was menacing and hideous with how he looked at the moment.

"First, I thought it was Yilla Zyrus who took out the Divergent Slayers since their heads came off, making me imagine that she must've used some kind of assassination talisman that was originally meant for me..."

"…"

Yilla Zyrus gawked as she turned to glance at him. Had he been afraid that she would have assassinated him? It was no wonder he didn't let her near him.

"Hehem~"

Davis cleared his throat, "But when it was made apparent that I was kidnapped, I instantly knew it was you."

"Kidnapped?" The Blazing Thunderlight Sect Founder's voice appeared amused, "How rude when I saved you from the Divergent Slayers. Regardless, that still doesn't explain it."

"Yes." Davis nodded.

His disfigured face could make any person shiver, but neither Yilla Zyrus nor the Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder seemed bothered about it.

"You're an Anarchic Divergent, aren't you?"

"…" The Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder narrowed her brows.

"Again, what makes you say that? Because you saw me hovering over the palace, looking at you with some kind of intent?"

"There's that too, but this is something you wouldn't understand…"

Davis wryly smiled.

Back then, when the three Mystic Diviners had checked if Mo Tian was an Anarchic Divergent or not, he panicked and felt that they had found him when their lamp lit up. However, thinking back again, he knew he was wrong.

Why?

Because when Clara had become an immortal, she was unable to find his Anarchic Divergent's aura.

It had been hidden by Fallen Heaven.

When the Mystic Diviners used the lamp, Fallen Heaven should've been able to hide his Anarchic Divergent aura again. Yet, the lamp had lit up. He had mistaken it to be that he had been found, but if he wasn't found, then that would mean…

'That there was another Anarchic Divergent present in that time and place...'

And when he saw the Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder be unimpressed or unshaken by the Annihilative Immortal King Tribulation, he knew for a fact that she was a Divergent. Combined with the previous information that he forgot because he had panicked, he knew she could be very well an Anarchic Divergent.

"Sigh, you're just the man I expected you to be. However, having been drugged, having your seeds stolen and reduced to this state by the heavens. You're really pitiful, aren't you?"

"Wait… that's not you? Then how did you-"

Davis turned to look at Yilla Zyrus, looking at her expression freeze. He recognized that she had spilled the beans, sighing lightly.

He was also beaten black and blue by the heavens, so was there any embarrassment left to experience?

He thought he could breeze through his Immortal King Tribulation after experiencing death and improving Reincarnation Laws beyond compare. However, he never imagined a true peak figure would descend and make him run for his life.

'However… if that is the peak… then there won't be someone stronger than the Celestial Transcendent, right…?'

Davis wondered, already thinking about his Immortal Emperor Tribulation.

Last time, he was confident and settled for less karmic virtue due to time and situation constraints, but this time, he was determined to plunder every bit of karmic sin and karmic virtue from his enemies, ultimately lowering the prowess of the Immortal Emperor Tribulation.

'I'll aim for the fourth tier karmic virtue...'

He decided, even if it meant plundering half the First Haven World of karmic virtue, although he deemed it wouldn't be that exaggerated.

However, his pupils suddenly dilated.

Why was he relying on external influences when it is his power that must be focused upon?

He still remembered the Celestial Transcendent's words to focus on a single path. However, what was a single path? Concentrating on all three was his path for all he could remember. Not only was he lacking in time, but also the knowledge required to use only a single Law to reign supremacy over his foes.

One Law simply didn't cut it for the twisting fate he carried with him.

However, the Celestial Transcendent's words also made immense sense, making him feel conflicted.

"I'm sure you have a lot to think about, but- have you realized that you're my prisoner?"

Abruptly, the Blazing Thunderlight Sect Founder's melodious voice woke him out of his reverie, causing him to stare at her with narrowed eyes.

"State your demands."

"What an understanding man. It's a pity… that you're married..."

The Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder eyes flashed as though she was appreciative of him not making a scene and was understanding of his position before shaking her head.

"I'm well aware that you're stronger than me in the same cultivation level as I had the opportunity to witness your botched Immortal King Tribulation that I wouldn't survive even if I had a hundred lives. Therefore, you need to first swear upon your life and that woman's that you will never harm me if you want out."

Davis felt that was obvious, "What else?"

The Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder raised one finger, "You will become my servant, at least for the next ten years."

"Ridiculous. I would rather die."

Davis couldn't help but laugh. Seeing his reaction, the Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder folded her finger into a fist.

"Five years. I have already lowered my expectations a lot-"

"If you want something, just ask." Davis harrumphed, "You're probably after the heavenly lightning I plundered from the heavens, aren't you?"

"…" The Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder stared at him for a few seconds before she nodded.

"Smart. I need your heavenly flames as well. I was devastated when I learned that you were crippled, you know~"

She abruptly took out a ring that he instantly recognized, "I was afraid that you'd die if I forcefully opened your life ring."

Davis kept his gaze on her before he sighed.

"You're a cunning woman, alright."

"But how do you suppose I give you heavenly flames?" He shrugged, "There wasn't any for me to plunder."

"That's your headache. You're not getting out until I get what I want. Try something funny, and I'll simply let you know the consequences, including killing that woman if that's what you want."

"…"

"Also, if anyone comes after me looking for you, as I know someone's looking through you, it would be completely over for the both of you."

The Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder waved at him, turned around, and left.

"This isn't just a cellar but also a guest cellar created for my formidable opponents. Make sure you enjoy your stay here~"

Her voice resounded in an amused tone, causing Davis to capture the life ring thrown at him before turning to look around to see a door located in the corner of the cellar. It was unknown where it led, but he could sense that it was not shabby.

Still, he kept smiling menacingly, slightly chuckling as he returned his gaze to the place where she had stood.

'Doesn't restrict much, doesn't go too far, maintains an optimal balance while negotiating… Tch, she knows how to crack someone...'

Davis knew he was caught in a snare of her making.

She didn't cast a slave seal on him. She didn't threaten the lives of his women but threatened him with Yilla Zyrus, whom he had just taken a liking to. She didn't bicker with him rejecting the status of a servant in exchange for the heavenly lightning and flames. She didn't make it difficult for him but didn't make it easier for him either.

She maintained the right balance to get what she wanted while knowing that she couldn't entirely control him.

'Is her goal only to obtain strength?'

Davis wondered before turning to look at the half-naked woman beside him.

"Yilla, did she do anything to you? To us?"

"No…" Yilla Zyrus bit her lips, "I was conscious the whole time as she ripped open a spatial tunnel to travel, so I also think this place is probably underneath the Blazing Thunderlight Sect. However, that woman is an enigma. I didn't know that one could be an Anarchic Divergent despite being an immortal inheritor."

She appeared worried but then blinked, "Actually, what have I gotten into myself? The man who took my innocence is a Fiend, Saint, and also an Anarchic Divergent? How can that be?"

She held her head, appearing like she realized it for the first time, which caught Davis in a fit of laughter that he suppressed.

Reaching out his hand, he patted her head.

"Don't worry. We'll get out of here, and I'll introduce you to my beauties just like I promised your sisters whom you shared a night with."

"…"

Yilla Zyrus's gaze shook.

At this moment, the overflowing emotions of affection knew no bounds, causing her to look at him tenderly and finally feel that her efforts were rewarded.

Her pupils trembled as they gleamed with tears, "Those words… I was waiting for them..."
