Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1454 Take It



Davis manually locked the door to Isabella's bedroom. He turned to look at his Isabella, who wore an indifferent look on her face, trying to hide her embarrassment.

"You didn't tell your father that you entered the Martial Overlord Stage?" He abruptly asked, causing Isabella to blink as she thought something else was coming. Nevertheless, it made her calm as she smiled.

"You think I entered the Martial Overlord Stage?"

"Absolutely." Davis nodded, "Do you think the words we exchanged when we separated were fake?"

Isabella's eyes lit up with admiration.

"So you've stepped into the King Soul Stage..."

"Indeed, just like you stepped into the Martial Overlord Stage..."

Davis raised his hands as light reddish soul force emerged from the tip of his index finger, quickly bursting into a dark, ominous energy that struck fear into the hearts of many before.

Isabella's eyes were wide as her black pupils reflected the death energy. She sensed his soul force's prowess and couldn't help comment.

"This energy... it still makes me shiver whenever I see it. So your soul force's prowess is at the peak of the High-Level Eighth Stage, crossing two or perhaps three levels with the soul? Outstanding..."

"Indeed..." Davis smiled in satisfaction at her reaction before he gestured, indicating that she was next.

Isabella smiled, looking eager to display as she raised her hands.

"I'll start from Essence Gathering Cultivation..."

*Hmmm!~*

A small influence of the earth dragon's earthly might descended on the room, enveloping Davis as Isabella's golden-brown essence energy flooded out from her palms.

It made him feel a bit restricted, but that was all. He felt like he could escape from it using his Essence Gathering Cultivation. However, Lightning was defeated by Earth, so he didn't know if he could survive an Essence Gathering Cultivation battle at the same stage and level.

Nevertheless, he felt that it was only a matter of time before his Fire Laws caught up.

Isabella took back her essence energy at this moment.

Next, the entire field abruptly became heavy that Davis couldn't help but feel difficulty breathing, feeling as if he would be crushed underneath the massive pressure generated by Isabella. However, it didn't seem to be like she was even releasing one percent of her martial energy, just a bit of pressure from her tempered body.

It made him gulp, but the intent to conquer her also equally rose.

The pressure suddenly receded before an earthly soul force sprung up from Isabella's delicate fingers, making Davis's eyes go wide as he couldn't help but comment.

"Low-Level Supreme Soul Stage soul force..."

"That's right..." Isabella giggled, feeling satisfaction fill her heart, "What I gained from clearing the Immortal Grade Trial were three things. One of them is the Earth Dragon Immortal's Soul Essence which I refined to increase my Soul Forging Cultivation by four stages almost, but its potency still hadn't ended and would passively help me reach the apex of Soul Forging Cultivation."

"The second is the Earth Dragon Immortal's True Blood Essence. It helped me quickly enter the Martial Overlord Stage. The last and final one is naturally the complete inheritance, the thousands of treasures at the behest of this finger."

Isabella lifted up her index finger, looking at the spatial ring that possessed the face of the Earth Dragon. It radiated a unique aura, actually emitting the aura of the Earth Dragon even though Davis felt that a spirit should not be capable of doing it.

Nevertheless...

"Congratulations on clearing the Immortal Grade Trial, Isabella." He gave a classic cultivator's respect as he clasped his hands, "However, you still haven't answered my first question."

"Yes," Isabella appeared exhilarated to be congratulated, "I didn't tell father that I entered the Martial Overlord Stage. I didn't want him to have second thoughts about marrying me to you."

"No wonder he mentioned Martial Sage Stage instead of Martial Overlord Stage." Davis nodded, "However, he still knows that it's just a matter of time before you enter the Martial Overlord Stage, so it makes no difference to him. His decision wouldn't have changed even if you told him, although I wouldn't deny that there might be second thoughts. After all, no father in his right mind would ever want to marry his daughter to a man with lower cultivation."

"He believes in your potential..."

"Potential...? Perhaps or more likely belief in my fake master..."

"Could be... but I like to think that it's the former."

"Same here."

Davis and Isabella went back and forth, smiling at each other as they conversed.

Suddenly, she closed arrived in front of him, took the spatial ring off of her index finger, and smiled.

"It carries the complete inheritance of the Earth Dragon Immortal. You take it. It belongs to you."

"...!?"

Davis narrowed his eyes, "Are you kidding me? It doesn't belong to me, and I don't want it."

He shook his head, feeling ridiculous that this woman was too good to him. She was the type to give it all for her man, not that he didn't think the women he chose were all somewhat similar as his preference remained the same. They all adored him as much as he placed importance on them.

However, Isabella didn't seem to back down. She had this faint smile on her face that seemed to know about something.

A few seconds passed, but she still didn't back down, just looking at him to take it.

Davis couldn't understand her insistence. He couldn't help but utter.

"What? Could you put it back on your finger? I'm not taking it... I'll borrow treasures from you, but I'll never take all of them. The inheritance is not mine."

Isabella's smiling expression faded, replaced with seriousness.

"It's one thing if you don't want it, but it's another thing altogether if you hide the fact that you cleared the Immortal Grade Trial way before me and lied that you cleared the Emperor Grade Trial, only to receive three times the reward of an Emperor Grade Trial, Davis."

Davis's expression froze while Isabella sighed on looking at his reaction.

"The Earth Dragon Immortal told me everything. It eventually told me to be careful of you so that the inheritance wouldn't get plundered by you, which is pretty laughable when I'm going to become your woman one way or another."

Davis rubbed his forehead as he felt some headache.

That stupid Earth Dragon Immortal always says something right at the wrong time.

Isabella was a prideful woman. How could she digest the inheritance after knowing that he, her man, had rightfully earned it but was thrown out due to some rules that he wasn't aware of?

If it had been some enemy, she would challenge that enemy and rightfully take the inheritance, but he was her man.

How could she bear to hurt him? She was never willing to put him down, not even in front of her sisters. At most, she only teased him with words, which he loved as he would tease her back.

Nevertheless, how could he just take it? He didn't feel right. His mind churned as he quickly adopted another approach.

"If I'm not wrong, you should get strong and use the resources to become a candidate, not me, because you are the one with the true essence blood and its soul essence."

Isabella lazily smirked.

"You already have the same blood, and since you'll reap benefits from me during our... you know what, it's still the same, not to mention that your Soul Forging Cultivation is the strongest out of us all and would continue to be even if I have the Earth Dragon Immortal's Soul Essence. That's the belief I have in you."

Davis blinked before he chuckled.

"But I ain't going to become powerful as you in the Body Tempering Cultivation System. You are the true inheritor while I merely gain benefits from making you mine. Both are not the same. Yes, of course, I'm confident that I can get stronger than you eventually, but it doesn't have to be through this Earth Dragon Immortal Inheritance. It belongs to you, my third wife, Isabella."

Isabella looked taken aback, her expression looking awry as her cheeks became filled with a crimson hue.

"You're just... Ah! Why don't you just make me submit!?"

"I already made you submit, though..." Davis looked amused as he pointed at the spatial ring, "You willingly giving me the inheritance spatial ring while also being willing to marry me while I have lower cultivation is more than enough proof that you have submitted to me..."

Princess Isabella became stunned before she blinked thrice.

Was she already conquered?

Her expression became more vivid, one of sweetness and charm as she blushed heavily.

Davis was literally stunned. He abruptly captured her wrist and pulled her into an embrace, capturing her lips as he smacked his lips on her, kissing as he savored her taste that he missed for more than a year. Princess Isabella trembled in his embrace, slowly reciprocating his kisses as she wrapped her arms around him.

They were sharing their love for a few seconds before Davis lifted her up and carried her to the large bed, putting her down as he moved on top of her, pinning her wrists as he calmly smiled.

"Despite being a Martial Overlord Stage Powerhouse who could easily throw me off, you display no resistance. Do you need more proof that you have already submitted to me by heart and love me dearly enough to not hurt me, Isabella?"

Isabella looked complex as she heavily blushed, her face looking extremely charming that Davis felt his heart pound. Nevertheless, she shook her head, indicating that she understood, causing him to nod.

"Your cultivation may inflate your pride. That's a common thing, but you did not forget that you're still mine. That's more than enough for me at this moment, at least, until two weeks later where I make you completely submit..."

Davis moved to the side as he sat, pulling her towards him as he made her lie on his lap, caressing her head and hair with his fingers. He took the inheritance spatial ring from her palm and put it on her index finger. She looked like a pet, snuggling in his embrace while feeling fluttery in her heart.

"This is so unfair and frustrating..." Isabella pouted as she complained, "I both love and hate that you have me at your fingertips..."

"Is that the pride of the Earth Dragon, Dragon Queen?" Davis chuckled.

Isabella blushed at being called by that fake title.

"I don't know, you tell me..."

Davis smiled as he caressed Isabella's head, "It is inevitable that you would feel immensely prideful by having the Earth Dragon Immortal's true blood essence, not to mention its soul essence. A dragon is an intrinsically prideful magical beast, so you being petted by a low-cultivation man is nothing but humiliating even though you have already given yourself to me in your heart. As an example, Nadia has once repeatedly told me that she found it difficult to suppress her prideful instincts as a King-Tier Magical Beasts because it wouldn't allow her to be controlled by a human. So, you, who have a lot of dragon essence mixed until the limit, is probably no different..."

Princess Isabella nodded. She vaguely felt that this was the case, and Davis had basically confirmed it for her. However, she became curious.

"Mhm? How did Nadia suppress her prideful instincts?"

"She says that my dark death energy makes her bloodline forget its pride or something. Probably, it's like enriching to her, making her bloodline give an exception to me. That's why I said that this feeling would mostly disappear after I make you mine for real, both in body and soul."

Isabella's eyes lit up as her cheeks kept a healthy blush. She believed in his words, making her feel look up to him for the nth time.

"Davis, you're so understanding and knowledgeable..."

'Oh, tell me more because I still haven't found the source to these unnatural feelings of mine...'

Davis wryly shook his head as he rubbed her head, "I'm not at that level yet. But don't worry. When I feel like I'm really knowledgeable, I'll brag till you're all sick of it."

Davis and Isabella grinned at each other, looking like they have bonded more than before. After this, there were a few moments of intimacy going on between them as if they were innocent teenage couples, kissing, caressing each other's body before they awkwardly separated, recalling that they should hold back for two more weeks.

Isabella gasped, breathing a bit heavy as she gazed at Davis, her charming eyes deeply attracting him.

Davis controlled himself, feeling that the femme fatale aura his women released was dangerous. They were just too feminine!

"Isabella, did the Earth Dragon Immortal tell you anything about becoming a candidate or its ultimate goal? I'm worried about you, Clara and Shirley..."
