Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2186: Determined To Obtain



Chapter 2186: Determined To Obtain

Davis and Myria heaved a heavy breath as they thoroughly laid their eyes on Chaos Essence Orb and the Grand Chaos Body Art as though they were two toads lusting after swan meat. They slowly came back to their senses before looking at each other in the corner of their eyes, appearing to be highly alert as though a battle could break out at any time.

But in truth, it was just the both of them carefully weighing their options and ready to tackle aggression at a moment’s notice.

Davis turned around his body and moved his lips, his face appearing solemn.

“It’s not the Reincarnation Essence Orb, right? Let me have it…”

He finally saw it, a way to pass his utterly ruinous immortal tribulation. Even if it was not enough, it gave him the best chance to survive out there.

A body made of chaos! It was of little doubt to him that it would be extremely stronger than earth!

“Primordial Chaos gave birth to almost all Laws you see in the myriad of worlds in the cosmos. There’s no reason to say that it wouldn’t be compatible with my body that’s already realized to be attributeless. Even if it interferes with my Eternal Life Soul Physique, it still would be compatible because Reincarnation is also a part of Chaos.”

However, Myria strongly shook her head at Davis’s request.

Although Reincarnation was the Law that completed the cycle of Life and Death, it was said that the Primordial Chaos that gave birth to Yin and Yang and every other Law before ending in Cataclysmic Destruction.

Myria knew the two extremes, the birth of Laws and the end of Laws could never be witnessed, much less naturally refined into an Essence Orb. It was a sight as rare as witnessing the birth of the cosmos and the end of the cosmos. However, she knew where a grand heaven and earth treasure like the Chaos Essence Orb and her eyes couldn’t help but tremble because to that enter that danger zone meant a death sentence even to Immortal Kings and above.

‘As expected of the master of this world… only that grand character could obtain something like this and make it as a reward as though it’s nothing…’

However, Davis appeared disgruntled over the negotiation failure, although he expected it. It seemed that they craved the Chaos Essence Orb more than the Reincarnation Essence Orb, so a battle seemed to be inevitable even if one of them actually passed and won the treasure.

ρꪖꪁⅆꪖ ꪁꪫꪚⅇ​ꪶ​ But still, he didn’t change his previous decision to let her go first, even though he felt tempted to the extreme. After all, hovering inside the room was a path for him to survive, and yet, it would be foolish of him to let it go. At the same time, he couldn’t get rid of his own convictions, also wondering how useful it was to Myria for her to be this tempted by it and how far she would go to take it from him.

However, Myria didn’t provide any answers and walked into the challenge chamber on the ninth floor.

The moment she walked past the line of divide, a transparent barrier blocked her from leaving like the previous challenges. She walked without feeling a hint of nervousness. However, her hands stretched as she waved them up, a wave of iridescent hue bursting out from her body as it formed an additional layer of barrier, one that was even more mysterious and complex than Davis’s heavenly lightning and heavenly flame barrier.

Davis and the others could only see Myria’s imitation forming before her barrier formed from Reincarnation Laws blocked their line of sight and even the sound, making it eerie as though the other side was the passage to the reincarnation cycle.

“So this is Reincarnation Laws…?”

Lea uttered with a bit of awe while the other beauties reacted the same. Only Davis appeared a bit lost, although, in reality, he was focusing on that particular energy to derive whatever insights he could from it.

“But with this, we essentially could not see what’s happening on the other side nor see how strong the challenge is.”

Fiora narrowed her brows, her expression frowning, but Mingzhi shook her head.

“That’s normal. Everyone has a side that they don’t want others to know about, especially immortals like her. If I were her, I wouldn’t want my imitation to be throwing around some secrets I don’t want others to know as a form of provocation.”

Her lips suddenly curved.

“As for how strong the challenge is, we’ll know once she fails.”

Fiora’s mouth went agape, “You think she’ll lose?”

Everyone couldn’t help but think of it as they naturally turned to look at Davis, seeking his opinion. Davis, who abruptly felt everyone’s gaze came out of his reverie before he recalled the words that he thought he had heard.

“Naturally, she could, but it depends.”

He enunciated at the end, “After all, it’s still not yet confirmed if the ninth floor’s opponent is eight levels higher or not. However, I think we’ll see it very soon as Myria is not the type of woman who drags a battle on unless she wants to face herself like Evelynn or me.”

Evelynn and the others nodded to his words, but a crimson-robed woman suddenly couldn’t help but utter to them.

“What will you do if she wins? Should we make a move to plunder?”

Everyone turned to look at Schleya, finding her idea not despicable at all because they, too, knew from the commotion Ellia made back then that Davis’s chances of passing his immortal tribulation were extremely less. They thought of grasping the last straw even if it was riskier, but something was heavily pricking their hearts as they thought about it because most of them were already indebted to Myria for her knowledge and power that increased their prowess or saved them.

However, their husband’s life was at stake!<del>ρaꪁⅆa ꪁꪫꪚⅇ​ꪶ​</del>

“There should be another way…”

Shirley couldn’t help but hesitantly and panickingly utter, not wanting the both of them to fight.

“Ahaha. You’re all indeed my lovely beauties to be thinking like this, but don’t bother with it.” Davis shook his head, “Unless I strike with the intent to kill, you’ll all die one way or another if we’re going to battle her.”

“Then what do we do about the Chaos Essence Orb and that grand-looking Grand Chaos Body Art? Don’t tell me we’re just going to let it go?” Natalya clenched her teeth, appearing desperate, “I don’t want you to die!”

Her words caused the others to tremble ever so lightly as they imagined the consequences of not obtaining the ninth floor’s treasures, causing Davis to be dumbfounded at their reactions.

*Shh!~*

An icy aura emerged as an ice spirit materialized. It was none other than Iesha, her limpid white eyes appearing determined.

“So this what you almost felt like when you plundered from a home of good spirits. It’s not a good feeling, but I’ll support you regardless since you need it for survival.”

*Bzzz!~*

A burst of black-silver lightning arc shot out from Davis as a lightning spirit exuded the terrifying aura of the heavens that momentarily had everyone taken aback.

“I dislike to agree with Iesha, but if it is what would make master survive, then I will gladly lay down my life.”

Eldia’s voice resounded like thunder, causing everyone to feel a jolt of twisted determination that said to fuck everything if it meant his survival.

“…”

Davis was at a loss for words as he saw their do or die expressions. Not only him, but they also knew that they were lacking but were ready to lay their lives down for him, and Davis knew that this was a fact as he unwittingly used Enigmatic Heart Intent in the wave of these strong emotions directed at him.

Even Shirley looked like she had come to a similar conclusion, although silent tears were heavily falling as she had just been helped by Ellia like a true friend would help. As for Clara and Tia, their cold outlook could only mean one thing.

It made his mouth agape before he raised his hands and shook them.

“There’s really no need for you all to interfere in a battle between Myria and me, although I appreciate the strong emotions you all hold towards me. That itself is enough. As for whether the treasure will belong to Myria or me, let’s just wait. Just think of this as merely one of many opportunities that are lying like needles hidden underneath the haystacks in a stable, and doing so will leave you the burden of committing a wrong against your benefactor. As I said before, if we’re going to do dirty things, I am the one who should do it, not you all. Don’t ever stain yourselves.”

Davis concluded in a gentle tone, causing their hearts to shudder as their determination wavered ever so lightly, making them think if there was another way to conclude the possible altercation.

After all, they didn’t want to wrong Myria or Ellia or even their conscience, for that matter.

As for Davis, the last thing he wanted was for them to doubt their hearts, as Evelynn did after the things she did after almost losing him. He came back from near death, but what’s done was done, hurting her heart while almost leaving an everlasting injury, so he wouldn’t let them experience the same thing again, like going against their own conscience.

Besides, he was well aware that this was decided as a group, which others couldn’t go against even if they wanted to slightly, so he had no reason to blame them for thinking in this way.

He couldn’t help but turn to look at the barrier of reincarnation energy, wondering if Myria would pass on her first try.

==========

As the reincarnation barrier appeared behind Myria, Myria saw her imitation being brought into life, wearing an icy-blue robe of the Mystic Ice Sect, much more luxurious and highly defensive than any robe worn on the Fifty-Two Territories at the moment.

The imitation appeared extremely like her without a single change, her lips moving.

“Myria, oh, Myria. You killed me seven times already, but this time on the ninth floor, you should just give up.”

“A miraculous doppelganger formation derived from Chaos and Five Element Laws, something that flips the very balance of the cosmos. No wonder you’re able to emulate my Eternal Life Soul Physique like it’s next to nothing within this completely isolated Nine-Treasured Palace and able to remember what happened before, which I thought wasn’t possible. However, within this formation, you’re as real as me.”

“Exactly.”

The two of them glared at each other, one possessing a solemn look while the other possessing a wild grin behind their veils.
