Divine Emperor of Death

*Shhh!~~~*

Scarlet-white flames filled the skies, covering an area of two hundred kilometers. The air seared, space tore apart, but more importantly, everything evaporated as though it didn't exist. When ice and fire came together, none of the Vacuous Beasts were left alive. They were completely engulfed and vanished into thin air.

Not even the ashes remained.

Davis and Myria arrived at the edge of the scarlet-white flames and saw the pure destruction taking place with wide eyes.

Even they had to admit that icefire was much better at eradicating flesh than reincarnation energy.

However, Davis's gaze was on the two beauties unleashing this technique from their hands.

'Unholy heavens…! Fallen Heaven's reincarnation technique is just… marvelous! Not only is it restricted by very few limitations, but it can also even recreate their bodies at their prime...'

He couldn't believe that he had truly revived Flamerose and Frostrose in full health using Fallen Heaven, causing him to become excited.

After all, Fallen Heaven had never disappointed him when it mattered the most, so he expected them to be revived at full strength. However, he was dealing with reincarnation—something that tipped the reincarnation cycle out of balance and incurred the wrath of the heavens.

He low-key feared that they would receive their immortal bodies, starting at Level One Immortal Beast Stage again, but he couldn't believe that their undulations were far higher at this moment, leaving him starkly breathless. He was unable to calculate as he couldn't accurately measure the accurate levels they were at but could tell that they were at mid-stage, from Level Four to Level Six, perhaps Level Six.

Furthermore, unlike the Fallen Soul Resurrection Technique that required their flesh to exist or be made anew, there was no need for him to preserve the dead's bodies in order for their revived souls to be hosted. The only restriction he could see was the requirement of the soul essence with three spiritual souls.

As long as he possessed that and had an equal amount of prowess as the revival targets, Davis guessed that he could revive as many of them as he pleased.

This guess was what truly left him breath taken, making him feel like a deity, as Evelynn would compliment him.

But still, he was aware of the karmic burden he had received at this moment because ever since he revived the two phoenixes, his heart wouldn't calm, feeling immeasurable heaviness. He instinctively knew that his heavenly tribulation was going to be unlike anything he'd ever heard of, surpassing Myria's heavenly tribulation by a large margin.

But between choosing death or fleeing, he chose to stay and fight, finding this way to be the most successful out of a few, although he was well aware that he could just be deleted by the two phoenixes as an act of berserk retaliation for no other reason than that he revived them in this calamitous situation, taking advantage of their kindness.

"Hghh!"

His eyes narrowed as he felt a pang of intense pain in his head as his soul sea palpitated.

'For better or worse, reviving them required only forty percent of my soul essence. That would make it twenty percent for each of them…'

Davis held his head with one hand, his body quivering ever so lightly.

Still, he was truly delighted to see them being at their prime, causing him to have more confidence in his plan as he straightened, heaving a deep breath as his senses tried to discover where that bastard went after bring drop-kicked right on his face.

Davis didn't believe for a moment that even with his combination of heavenly lightning and heavenly flames, he had killed that bastard, instinctively feeling that he was hiding somewhere.

As for the descending Immortal King Vacuous Beast, the twin phoenixes of opposite nature stopped unleashing their combination of ice and fire attacks, turning to look up at the incoming monstrosity.

Their cold-gleaming and blazing phoenix eyes flashed as they transformed into two gigantic phoenixes, letting out a massive cry while flapping their wings, kicking up a windy storm while their Immortal Beast Stage undulations surged towards the Immortal King Vacuous Beast, intending to suppress it.

*Bzzzz!~*

Spatial fissures hundreds of kilometers above the surface as their undulations crashed.

Instantly, Flamerose and Frostrose's undulations were suppressed, unable to even compete with the Immortal King Vacuous Beast's undulations. However, as Flamerose and Frostrose stretched their wings and spun in mid-air while keeping their bodies against each other, a swirling scarlet-white twister of flames emerged from their bodies, surging into the air.

The tempestuous ice and fire swirled their way above and engulfed the monstrous dragon!

Its grayish body became engulfed in scarlet-white flames, the outer layer of its skin almost evaporating into thin air. However, since the skin didn't evaporate, it instead became wounded all over, causing crystals to appear as it made for a gruesome sight.

*Roarrr!!!~*

The Immortal King Vacuous Beast unleashed a furious roar, one that would shake the heavens and kill billions of people, but since it was caught up in the ice and fire hurricane, it was unable to display its might.

It stopped paying heed to the injuries caused and lunged at Frostrose, its gaping maw opening and shutting down as it clamped on Frostrose's wings. However, her large figure shook like a mirage, disappearing and reappearing on the opposite side.

The two sisters who had taken both sides of the Immortal King Vacuous Beasts surged with a tremendous might as their ice and fire energies resonated, striking together as they opened their mouths at the same time.

*Boom!~*

Scarlet-white flames exploded between them, causing a huge gash to appear on the abdomen of the monstrous dragon. It unleashed another roar of pain, twisting its body to attack the birds grinding at its body, but it didn't seem to remember not having a tail as it was severed when breaking through the Fifty-Two Territories, ending up flailing and wasting more of its black blood that plunged to the surface and almost formed a big corrosive lake.

Flamerose and Frostrose's phoenix figures appeared above the altitude of the monstrous dragon as they waited for it to turn around so that its attacks wouldn't accidentally plunge towards the denizens of this Territory.

"As expected of an Immortal King entity…" Flamerose couldn't help but smile as her beak opened, "Even if it's a hollow Vacuous Beast, it still withstands the might of ice and fire combined together."

On the other hand, Frostrose remained calm as ice.

"Sister, stop diminishing your flames so much. We must combine the purest of our energy to create concentrated strands of ice and fire to unleash havoc on that Immortal King. We don't have much time to-"

"I know. I know... It's just... we're alive! "

Flamerose let out a phoenix cry as she moved, causing the two of them to plunge towards the Immortal King Vacuous Beast!

*Boom!~* *Boom!~* *Boom!~*

Huge explosions of scarlet-white hue kept occurring in the high skies, causing Davis to blink as he wondered how come the monstrous grayish dragon didn't have any species techniques to use?

"Is that bastard still using raw strength like that?"He couldn't help but voice his doubt.

From experience, he knew how dumb Vacuous Beasts were, but he also knew that these Vacuous Beasts didn't adopt the shape of these dragons and phoenixes purely for looks. If someone could control them, could they not unleash their full potential?

"No." Myria's expression finally exuded a change as she looked up, "To even possess a Vacuous Beast is considered an impossible feat in the first place, so to control its bloodthirstiness once it has been provoked is next to impossible. Nonetheless, he must've paid a heavy price for that..."

A tone of pleasure trickled from her voice, causing Davis to think that she had her own troubles as well.

"But why can't we still find that bastard?" Davis lowered his gaze and looked around, "My soul sense has swept the area a lot of times. Could it be that he has fled-"

"That's because I killed him." Myria abruptly answered, causing Davis's expression to freeze.

When?

"At the time you took me away from the ice and fire explosion, I used my Yin-Yang Reincarnation Wheel Technique to erase him out of existence."

Davis's gaze couldn't help but brighten. When practicing the Unfettered Earthly Reincarnation Scripture, the sign of practicing it right ensued a mysterious phenomenon of exuding a yin-yang diagram. Back then, he didn't understand that much, but now he could tell what it signified.

It signified a path for practicing Reincarnation Laws and Myria derived a technique out of it, perfecting it into a killing machine.

When he had seen her standing with that Yin-Yang Reincarnation Wheel Technique behind her, he couldn't help but feel a tremendous chill but knew that she wouldn't use it against him. However, to place trust in him and use that killing technique to destroy that bastard, he didn't know if she felt safe enough in his presence to throw away her attack amidst the explosion or just purely hated that bastard to the core that she didn't care about her life and death at that moment.

"Of course. I couldn't destroy his main body even if he was tied up all helpless in front of me. For that, I need to grow stronger, much stronger than I was at my prime since he would've grown much stronger by now…"

"Right…"

Davis let out a soft sigh, feeling that he had more important things to worry about than that bastard.

"So, when are you going to let go of my hand?"

"…!?"

Davis flinched abruptly, noticing that he still held Myria's hand tightly, unable to believe how excited and tense he was until now. Just as his lips curved in front of her ice-cold gaze, his eyes suddenly shot wide as he raised his other hand towards Myria.

*Bang!*

A skeleton head rammed into his dragon-claw grasp, its teeth clattering into his palm as it cackled with an ominous air.

"Davis Loret, I presume? You do not know who you offended, thus becoming cursed for all eternity! Ahahahaha!"

Its ancient and evil tone resounded like a curse while an intense glow was unleashed from it, causing Davis's pupils to dilate.

*Puchi!~*

Myria's hand flailed like a snake, cutting off Davis's entire arm that held Fraser Herrion as the skeleton exploded, shattering into countless skeletal fragments!
