Divine Emperor of Death

*Bzzz!~*

Davis used the Mind Sea Extraction Mirage Technique he bought from the Ghost Tear Hall.

The palm shone in a dark light as his soul force invaded Klein Zyrus's soul sea.

It was known that the brain was the keeper of memories. However, there was something else that also possessed the memories of a person.

The seven physical souls.

One was the physical realm, and the other was the mental realm, or in actuality, the core identity of a soul. However, the latter would be the three spiritual souls when spoken in terms of origin. Nonetheless, what the Mind Sea Extraction Mirage Technique does is sweep through the seven physical souls and rob the victim of their memories.

It doesn't essentially rob as it was just copying the memories and pasting them elsewhere, retrieving them back to the user of the technique. However, the way it did so was forceful and invasive, causing the seven physical souls to be damaged and, in return, causing the victim to turn mentally disabled.

Davis's soul force was like a fish net. It jumped into the soul sea and collected a lot of remembrances before he pulled them out. The moment his soul force returned to his soul sea, he segregated the portion so that it didn't affect him and was viewed like he was watching television.

However, it was so fast that everything that Klein Zyrus experienced seeped into his knowledge.

Klein Zyrus's life changed when they discovered him to be the owner of the revered Ghastly Cloud Physique. Because of that, an Elder became his godfather and secretly allowed him to grow.

Having a major increase in his influence resulted in a life of debauchery as he grew up, ruining many women while also killing their husbands. All this happened within the Zyrus Family, but it didn't end there as it burst its way out.

Many bandit powers like the Dark Sky Triad were employed to help him raise his strength from the bottom. For that, many women and men disappeared for various reasons.

But before he revealed himself to the world, he secretly killed his own ordinary mother and father for the sake of being truly adopted by that Elder-level figure, giving him an edge over the battle for supremacy.

Furthermore, to increase his karmic luck, that Elder-, no, a Grand Elder regularly performed ritualistic karmic ceremonies that sacrificed some people with high karmic sin.

Davis had never seen something like this before, even though he was already a plunderer of karmic nature. His plundering doesn't kill people, much less make them burst into a pile of bloody mess.

Nonetheless, everything Klein Zyrus had done was for his own benefit. Everything he had done had ended in a tragedy for the people standing on the opposite side of him. In fact, he was after the Grand Elder's prized daughter as well, wanting to court her, but it wasn't for her personality or character but for her high bloodline purity.

He wanted her to improve his own bloodline purity. To that end, he even tried to drug her once, but it failed, and he was caught. And yet, that Grand Elder gave him another chance, all because he was their family-no, their ambition.

"Wahh... Uh…"

Klein Zyrus's mouth hung at this moment, his eyes looking blank and his expression exhausted.

With just a look, Davis could tell that Klein Zyrus had become retarded. However, there was a prickling urge in his mind to act upon his thoughts as he raised both his hands and kept them on Klein Zyrus's head. Life energy poured as they began to heal him.

Davis wondered if he could heal a retarded soul back to health, and soon enough, he found out.

Klein Zyrus's eyelids shook as a semblance of life exuded from his eyes. His gaze was on Davis, who held his head. He could feel the remnant life energy shrouding his head, making him feel slightly clear as it relieved some of his exhaustion.

"Why… did you save me?"

Davis couldn't help but smile as he revealed his teeth.

"I was moved by the hardships you had to go through, so how can I let you easily die…?"

"…"

Klein Zyrus struggled to move back as much as he could, but he couldn't. Instead, he made a face as though he was never thankful in his life. But the next moment, his head trembled, and his eyes rolled back.

Davis had used the Mind Sea Extraction Mirage Technique again, but this time, he didn't go through the memories and discarded them as he came to know what he wanted to know.

But the next second, he began healing Klein Zyrus's soul again.

Within a few minutes, Klein Zyrus woke up, his eyes having a semblance of intelligence. His eyes trembled at Davis before they rolled back again.

"A monster with nutritious energy…?"

Stella Voidfield simply couldn't comprehend why Davis was doing this, not understanding that Davis was doing this to perfect the Mind Sea Extraction Mirage Technique.

One moment, Klein Zyrus was broken, and the other, he returned to normal.

After many sessions, when Klein Zyrus returned to normal, he went mad and screamed like he was a pig being slaughtered as he came to realize that he wasn't being healed but cruelly experimented on.

At the twenty-eighth usage of the Mind Sea Extraction Mirage Technique, Klein Zyrus's soul almost collapsed, causing him to end up in a coma. He was unable to take the forceful extraction anymore and simply let go. The fragile soul couldn't withstand the extraction and appeared as if it would collapse at the slightest touch, and hence, Davis stopped.

It was similar to suicide as Klein Zyrus lost the will to live, but the final move still belonged to Davis. He was still in control.

Nonetheless, Davis was already smiling as he became more and more efficient in using the Mind Sea Extraction Mirage. By the time it was the twentieth session, Klein Zyrus had stopped becoming retarded, although Davis did have to heal his soul to make him stay alive.

Consequently, the chances that his victim would become a retard were small, and even if they did, he could heal them back to normality.

With him having become skillful in using the Mind Sea Extraction Mirage Technique, he let Klein Zyrus have one last sleep as a form of gratitude. Moreover, he also found an exit that was nearby from Klein Zyrus's memories. But considering that the Zyrus Family had entered the secret realm many times, he didn't find it surprising that they would know another way out.

Promptly, he had his soul body that was searching for an exit return. It had also managed to collect many spatial-attribute treasures like herbs and ores, but since they were mostly in the mortal realm, they were not of much use.

"Ah~ This feels good..."

Having some time, Davis boosted Stella Voidfield's growth. She couldn't help but exclaim in excitement as she felt her maturing but, at the same time, held some doubt.

"You wouldn't hurt me, right?"

"Of course not. Are you Klein Zyrus, who has done various evil deeds?"

Davis chuckled at her innocent line of questioning as he returned the same, causing her to stand tall as she placed her hands on her waist.

"No! Hehe~ Mother said I'm a good girl~"

"Did you talk with your mother now?"

"Yes, I di- no..."

Stella Voidfield's eyes gazed elsewhere as though she felt guilty while Davis simply smiled. He didn't ask anymore, knowing that he had made a mistake by exposing his identity as Mo Tian and Dead End. Now, he could only hope that her mother wasn't someone who hoped to kill him or obtain his secrets.

However, the mistake wasn't heavy as his true identity wasn't leaked. Instead, this was also a gamble for him.

He had Stella Voidfield's life in his hands, allowing her to grow faster. If he could prove himself to that so-called mother, perhaps, that existence would be willing to look after him, and he could gain powerful backing in return. After all, with how this secret realm was strong, he was inclined to believe that existence was an Immortal Emperor-level existence.

Otherwise, wouldn't this secret realm be in the Zyrus Family's hands completely?

He kept nurturing Stella Voidfield for half a day before he narrowed his eyes. Taking his hand back, he turned to look at Stella comfortably sleeping on the tree top.

"Is this enough?"

"Uh?"

She woke up and wiped the drool off her face. She looked sleepy, but her expression suddenly blossomed into one of excitement.

"Woah! I have grown a lot. I can feel that I'm only a few years away from reaching adulthood."

"Good. Now, you'll keep your words, right?"

"What are you saying? I, Stella Voidfield, never went back on my words. If I say that I will kill you, I will. If I say that I will send you out, I will."

The Void Dust Tree stood tall as she spoke, radiating a heavy pressure.

Davis nodded and returned to the location where the wind blades were there. They were still covered by life energy so that they didn't start dispersing out of existence. As he arrived between them and sat, he began to refine one and started comprehending Wind Laws.

In a single day, he managed to comprehend till Level One Abstruse Intent, but after that, his comprehension rate slowed down. But clearly, he was good at it, perhaps, a talent that had never seen the light of the day because he hadn't chosen to cultivate wind. Besides, his genes also contained the Windstorm Binding Spirit's gene or, rather, Alstreim Windstorm's gene.

It was only normal that he would be able to comprehend Wind Laws better than most laws.

Nonetheless, he kept the heavenly wind wisps somewhere else and began to recuperate while his soul body took care of the heavenly wind wisps from fading away.

In half a day, he managed to enter his prime state. Opening his eyes, he stood up and stretched.

"Careful. You would have to quickly leave within a five-second time frame, or the defensive measures in place would automatically kill you. Of course, I can delay that a bit, but since I have never tried it before, I suggest that you don't depend on it."

Stella Voidfield warned as she hovered above him, causing him to stare at her before he nodded his head.

"Well, thanks for the warning. Now then, stand back as far as you can, and don't be near me. Otherwise, your life isn't guaranteed."

Davis was at the distant spot where he set up the formation disc. Stella Voidfield nodded her head, giving him a thumbs up with both hands and a sweet smile before shooting off into the distance, returning to her main body.

Once Stella Voidfield left, Davis took a deep breath.

He used Karmicgrace to cover himself with a meter-tall purplish golden karmic virtue. Instantly, he could feel the sacredness envelop him, giving him the illusion that he could do no wrong and was a saint.

Nonetheless, he didn't bother with that feeling. Having peaked and maxed out in all his cultivations, especially with Peak-Level Law Rune Stage Cultivation just now with heavenly wind wisps, he was fully- no, beyond prepared for his immortal tribulation.

In his body, he felt limited at the moment, and it was none other than the bottleneck. Circulating all three cultivation systems and gathering their energy at the location where the Immortal Vessel would form, he unleashed the limiter on all his cultivations!
