Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-622

'I've exhausted all my essence energy...' 

Davis inwardly smiled and thought that he would be dead soon enough if he only possessed Essence Gathering Cultivation in his arsenal. Currently, his dantian only possessed a little bit of essence energy, and that too was his reserves. If he exhausted it, it is possible that he would become tired as one would feel when parched.

Fortunately, his Essence Gathering Cultivation was the weakest one of the three Cultivation Systems he had but that enabled him to kill around a hundred Grand Beast Stage Magical Beasts, most of them at Low-Level.

This situation made him completely realize that even if one can cross levels to fight, it became useless against an entire clan. Geniuses who had overestimated themselves mostly died like this, thinking that they can take care of an entire clan, only to die and blame it on the lack of energy capacity in the end.

Davis's essence energy reserves were indeed huge as Evelynn mused.

His Body Tempering Cultivation that was at the Sixth Stage tempered his meridian points and meridian pathways, enabling them to store more essence energy in them while circulating it easily with the tempered meridian pathway. Only with this kind of physique did he have enough energy to kill all those Magical Beasts, otherwise, it would have run out as soon as he killed ten such Three-Winged Venomous Lizards.

'I guess that's enough bloodshed...'

Once Davis thought of it like this, he revealed his Martial Ascendance Stage undulations! 

*Bzzz!~*

Enormous golden-yellowish pressure radiated around him before it extended towards the Three-Winged Venomous Lizards!

He wanted to completely scare them away but contrary to his expectation, the angered Low-Level Saint Beast Stage Three-Winged Venomous Lizard whistled into the skies. 

Its spine wing shook greatly as it screeched all over the area.

Davis's gaze then fell over to the Grand Beast Stage Three-Winged Venomous Lizards that shuddered from his undulations but stood their ground without escaping!

Davis's lips twitched as he realized that they were still going to mess with him, even after he displayed his prowess that was at the Sixth Stage.

The Low-Level Saint Beast Stage Three-Winged Venomous Lizard didn't even want to communicate but he belatedly understood why...

He had incurred too much hatred from the Three-Winged Venomous Lizard Clan!

Perhaps that became the sole reason why none of them backed off. 

'True, I can still feel their murderous intent...' Davis clenched his fists. 

Since it became like this, then he felt no need to remain passive, only to be cornered into a dead end and overwhelmed by these hundreds of Magical Beasts.

His figure suddenly disappeared from the place he stood!

With a resounding whoosh, he reappeared in the distance.

The Low-Level Saint Beast Stage Three-Winged Venomous Lizard's scales turned numb as it saw him in front of its eyes! It was still in its own world of calling for reinforcements but it suddenly felt as if death was looming right before its eyes!

It completely froze for a second as a reflex! 

*Pierce!~*

Davis's index finger plunged into its brain while his fists slightly scraped its horn.

*Bang!~*

An implosion occurred in the Low-Level Saint Beast Stage Three-Winged Venomous Lizard's head and blood erupted from its orifices, staining Davis's arms.

He pulled his finger out of the brain he pierced through and launched himself to the next location with an explosive step.

Silent Erupting Finger!

This was the battle technique he used to kill this Low-Level Saint Beast Stage Three-Winged Venomous Lizard. He had learned this technique in the past but only got it to use for a few times when he assassinated evil fiends as Dead End.

'Mhm... It seems that this technique isn't that powerful anymore but still relevant for now...' 

He felt that this technique couldn't be used properly anymore as he failed to completely gather his entire martial energy into his single index finger. He was already proficient in the technique but his cultivation was now just too powerful to skillfully use this technique.

Perhaps when he reached the Martial Master Stage, it would become redundant. 

Davis mused as he repeatedly danced in this Three-Winged Venomous Lizard territory. His figure disappeared and reappeared, reaping away the lives of many Three-Winged Venomous Lizards.

With their temporary leader dead, the other Three-Winged Venomous Lizards all tried to scramble and escape but Davis instantly slapped twenty of them to death before the remaining ones could escape.

"Hmph!" He snorted and concentrated his senses to the distance, feeling the Saint Beast Stage Magical Beasts, come towards his way.

'Ahhh! This is why I always use Dark Concealing Shroud Art to near my targets and kill them. Openly battling invites so many headaches...' He inwardly lamented but then suddenly widened his eyes in glee.

Because he sensed that those two Peak-Level Saint Beast Stage Three-Winged Venomous Lizards were currently on their way! They were strutting off the undulations as if trying to establish dominance and even an angry cry erupted in the distance.

Davis was unfazed but that couldn't be said the same about Evelynn.

Evelynn trembled on hearing those monstrous cries. Her body shuttered as she instantly became worried about her husband.

Inwardly, she knew that her husband didn't even need to care about those Seventh Stage Cultivators since he had those paper talismans capable of killing them through some strange means.

However, she also knew that recently her husband used three such paper talismans to mysteriously kill the three bastards who had harassed her in the Conferred King Tournament.

She didn't know how many paper talismans he had left but with all those imminent cries reaching her ears, she imagined that were well over fifty Saint Beast Stage Three-Winged Venomous Lizards approaching her husband!

Her lips quivered as she became incredibly worried for him and looked at Nadia below her, "Quick! Help him!"

Nadia suddenly turned startled by Evelynn's cry but shook her head, "He instructed me to protect you."

"You!" Evelynn became tongue-tied. She rapidly thought but failed to think of a viable method to convince Nadia in her panic.

Abruptly, she closed her eyes and screamed, "I don't care what happens to me! Aren't you our Magical Beast Mount!? Listen to my words as well!"

Nadia blinked her large eyes, feeling that Evelynn had a point but still... She looked at Evelynn and saw that she was almost going to let out tears at this point.

Davis looked at the incoming guests and smiled at them. Their purplish-white bodies along with their reptilian eyes were pointed at him.

'Even now, they are still going to attack me en masse?' Davis felt nervous and exhilarated at the same time. Their undulations had inadvertently suppressed him to a great degree.

Seeing that their gaze was still full of killing intent, he uttered no words to the group and targeted one of the two leaders and pointed at them, "Your life is mine!"

He wanted to bring it towards a one-on-one fight with him to test his Body Tempering Cultivation's might!

The Peak-Level Saint Beast Stage Three-Winged Venomous Lizard visibly frowned. It yelled in a shrill female voice, "Die human! Your death will appease the souls of our kin!"

'A female shaman!?' Davis became taken aback but shook his head.

Nadia had also said something similar about appeasing its dead kin with the Crowned Violet-Winged Condor's corpse. Maybe it was already a custom for Magical Beasts to take revenge at this point to appease the souls of their kin.

Davis's eyes twitched.

Think of the devil, and it will appear.
