Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-2228

*Vrrrr!~*

After the space collapsed, the torn veil of space started stitching itself back. From the edge to the center of the tear that ran a few hundred meters wide, the process only took three to four seconds, re-sealing the space as everything turned to normal while the breeze was no longer furious.

Davis's sapphire eyes saw a charred figure plunging straight to the ground, hitting a mountain peak as he flipped over and slid all the way to a cliff.

It was none other than the Dark Ironroar Palace's Immortal.

However, he didn't seem to have died, still living as his chest heaved, gasping for breath while his eyes remained wide.

Davis descended and arrived before Dark Ironroar Palace's Immortal with his hands behind his back, carefully gauging the other party's injuries while excluding the charred body. He found that his meridians had been fried in most locations, cutting off energy circulation routes to perform techniques, which made him good as crippled until he could regenerate it.

However, regenerating the damage caused by heavenly lightning and heavenly flames combined, Davis shook his head.

That was going to take life energy and a higher prowess at the very least. For other healing-type energies, it may vary, but at the very least, the prowess needed would be higher, and the cost for self-recovery would also be higher, possibly wasting enormous amounts of vitality.

"Bast…tard… how…!?"

The Dark Ironroar Palace's Immortal coughed out black blood while talking, unable to believe that a mortal had defeated him. No, he wasn't defeated but almost on the verge of getting killed. On the immortal level, those two things weren't considered the same, as one could always escape if defeated.

"I don't really need to explain for a person who's going to die shortly, do I?"

Davis condescendingly spoke, noticing that the Dark Ironroar Palace's Immortal couldn't even escape with his soul because the attack he released had fried the way out as well, almost virtually sealing it. Passing through that fried meridian point would require an enormous will and a powerful soul that could withstand the pain. Otherwise, he would faint.

Moreover, it seemed like the nerves were also charred, essentially making him paralyzed from the head to the feet.

The Dark Ironroar Palace's Immortal clenched his teeth, his crimson eyes appearing unwilling as a hint of fear swirled inside him.

"Wait… we can talk about this… I'll… I'll give you everything… Just… let me go..."

Davis smilingly shook his head. What everything? The other party's spatial ring was already in his hands. After all, he took his entire right arm and turned it into ashes. Nevertheless, a flash of insight appeared in his mind as he turned to look into the distance.

"Lea, come here and cook him for me. Nadia will have a feast today."

"Huh?"

Lea blinked, but she took a step forward and arrived before them in seconds, maintaining a distance of a kilometer away.

"Husband, I don't think my flames will work much..."

"Just try. It'll be best if you can cook him in low heat."

"…"

Lea couldn't help but smile as she raised her hands, her essence energy surging out.

"You- wait…! No- aahhhh!!!"

Scarlet flames descended from a kilometer away as it set the Dark Ironroar Palace's Immortal on fire. He was being cooked in low heat, causing the three immortals to have their jaws drop in sync.

"Fire Phoenix Flames..."

At the same time, they discovered the quality of flames was top-tier, making them gulp in wonder. Moreover, her prowess was at the ninth level of the Ninth Stage, causing them to be reel in disbelief.

How come one of his women, the Sect Master of the Burning Phoenix Ridge, was also a monster, able to match the immortal level while still being a mortal?

Indeed, Lea had finally created a Supreme Immortal Rune in the Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace, becoming immensely powerful. Due to the presence of the Fire Essence Orb, not only was she able to easily discard her previous manifestations and domains that weren't up to par, but she was also able to remake them to perfection with her current insights of the phoenix flames, drastically increasing her prowess as she created a Supreme Immortal Rune of Fire Laws.

Somewhere down the cooking process, the cries of Dark Ironroar Palace's Immortal faded, perhaps having fainted.

After some time, Lea lowered her hand, looking at the cooked meat at the size of a fully grown adult.

"How marvelous… Even though I used my full prowess, I was unable to kill a weakened immortal like him. The gap is… huge..."

Lea was in awe over the surviving Dark Ironroar Palace's Immortal. Although Davis said for her to cook him, she had little to no intentions of leaving him alive.

But, the Dark Ironroar Palace's Immortal still survived amidst the cooking process for five minutes.

She turned to look at the newcomer, who was none other than Nadia. She made it all the way here from the Alstreim Family as she had been contacted by Davis way before the cooking process had begun.

"Nadia~ Please help yourself~"

Lea melodiously voiced out, causing Nadia to tremble as she inhaled the fragrance that made her practically drool that she had to constantly suck the air so as to not let it drip from her mouth. She took a step forward but was suddenly stopped by Davis, causing her wide purplish-golden eyes to blink.

Davis blocked Nadia's path as he stared at the unmoving Dark Ironroar Palace's Immortal.

Although the Dark Ironroar Palace's Immortal appeared to have fainted, he was aware that this bastard could self-destruct at any time or even enact a last-second retaliation that used all his will, so he was wondering of a way to make Nadia eat him safe and sound.

"…!"

He snapped his fingers and turned to look around.

"Immortal friends and Founder. Help this junior by suppressing this wicked path immortal from self-destructing using your immortal soul force."

"Bastard!!!"

A ghastly voice filled with unwillingness and hatred resounded throughout the area. Heaven and earth energy shook as the skies trembled. However, three waves of immortal soul force fell on the Dark Ironroar Palace's Immortal, causing his suicidal actions to come to a stop.

Simultaneously, Davis sprinkled freshly scented spices and other ingredients that conjured an avaricious aroma that awakened one's appetite and invoked hunger. Even Davis couldn't help but slightly gulp as this man, no, food, just smelled good.

If even he was attracted, then…

He turned to look at Nadia, looking at her pouncing on the suppressed yet living meat with a crazed light in her eyes.

"No… no… no…! Ahhhh!!!!"

*Ripp!~* *Ripppp!~* *Gobble!~* *Gulp!~* *Ripp!~*

Screams of insanity echoed as blood splashed from the Dark Ironroar Palace Immortal's body and dropped from Nadia's jaws. Her sharp teeth ripped apart the immortal body that was softened from the slow cooking that even the immortal bones were as soft as a marshmallow at the moment. As a wolf, she was literally wolfing her food down, doing a fast one as she ate an entire immortal in thirty full seconds.

The Dark Ironroar Palace's Immortal was eaten alive except for the pelvic part. Nonetheless, as a magical beast, Nadia only needed the dantians and the immortal vessel. Once she ate him to the fullest, her body began to tremble as her eyes remained wide.

Her body kept shuddering as her figure began to enlarge.

Her dark purple fur shimmered in the emerging moonlight. The black stripes encasing her body became more profound, imprinting anew as they resonated with the heaven and earth energy, consequently enhancing her Death Laws. Although the color of her pupils remained the same, purplish-golden, her purplish-black horn exuded a few changes, becoming completely pitch black as they radiated the extreme air of death.

She had become elegant yet more intimidating than before.

However, the mind-boggling thing was that a second tail grew from her back, but everyone who knew Nadia knew that this was actually her third tail as her doppelganger was still out there!

Davis and Lea were awed as they understood that her bloodline tier had entered the Emperor-Tier, making her an Empress-Tier Peak-Level Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beast who could cross five levels above, becoming capable of matching an immortal, perhaps even kill!

Still, Davis couldn't help but blink in stark astonishment at this scene as this was totally unexpected to him as he had been deeply thinking about how to improve her bloodline tier, racking his brains.

Could it be that she was only lacking the nutrition to become an Emperor-Tier Magical Beast? Was it so simple?

If it was the case, back then, when Nadia had forcefully come out of her mutation while fearing for his life, she had given up her chance to become an Emperor-Tier Magical Beast?

He couldn't help but feel heartened over her actions, which were pure and full of care.

Nonetheless, receiving this boundless nutrition, the body of a Level Two, no, a higher level Immortal, he recognized that not only had Nadia's body cultivation's prowess progressed to five levels higher, but her soul cultivation had also advanced the same, except due to her terrifying technique, it was possible that her species soul technique could reach six levels higher.

What's more, she might also get to retain her Emperor-Tier Bloodline upon breaking into the Immortal Beast Stage, meaning that he could most likely sleep with her and take her primal yin without a need to worry that she might lose her Emperor-Tier Bloodline status.

"…"

While Davis was electrified by something else than heavenly lightning, the others gazed at him with wide eyes, especially the three immortals.

One mortal had practically taken down a peak Level Two Immortal Foundation Cultivator without a problem, while another mortal had basically cooked that immortal slowly and aromatically before a mortal beast ate that cooked immortal, having grown to its fullest potential.

Even if they searched the entire First Haven World, they would fail to find such a trio, much less that one man practically towering above them in prowess, causing their pupils to shudder with a bit of terror.

They now knew why he was called and revered as the Emperor of Death, the man who was once equated with being the disaster of the Calamity Light by almost every power in the Fifty-Two Territories.
