Divine Emperor of Death

Thin strands of destructive clouds swirled around Davis's soul essence.

At a glance, they seemed harmless, and it was true that they didn't pose a threat to Davis as they were just an amalgamation of insights floating around him and not the essence.

Still, each dark-purplish cloud he looked into and absorbed made Davis shiver as he was starting to understand more and more about Destruction Laws. It was directly in opposition to his comprehension of chaos, giving him more doubts than answers.

Although this process was like an infusion, it necessarily didn't teach him how to comprehend correctly as he could only blindly take in the comprehensions from the clouds.

After all, this was Nyx Godwin's comprehension, and what he comprehended could be intrinsically wrong, causing Davis to go on the wrong path.

Nonetheless, what he was doing was not directly absorbing the insights and cementing them in his mind. Instead, he went through each insight, verifying the comprehended insights through mental simulation. He still could not verify if they were true as he had little idea about Destruction Laws, but he more or less came to grasp his own insights of it in the process.

Considering Nyx Godwin's wild and unrefined usage of Destruction Laws, he was willing to comprehend his own insights, his own version of Destruction Laws!

Time passed.

Nyx Godwin's soul was powerful and rich in Space Laws.

Even if Davis didn't want it, his comprehension of Space Laws in Body Tempering Cultivation was climbing towards the peak of what was possible in Immortal Stage, nearing Level Nine Intent.

Moreover, after absorbing a lot of immortal soul essences, he came to understand that the soul also held insights into body and essence better than the time he absorbed refined comprehension clouds from mortal soul essences.

Was this due to the Immortal Vessel and Immortal Soul Vessel being bound together that the soul ultimately made a copy of every law that the individual comprehended?

If that was the case, Davis rejoiced as it was beneficial to him. Now, he didn't necessarily only need to comprehend the soul and borrow some insights from it to adjust to his body and essence but actively look for insights in body and essence to comprehend them.

That was how his comprehension of Space Laws was quickly increasing for his Body Tempering Cultivation.

It was unknown how many days passed, but Davis fully threw himself into comprehending Destruction Laws.

He didn't even know if the banquet had come to pass, but since he was in the time chamber, he felt like he had more than enough time. However, he didn't worry about it and continued to fully devote himself to this process, and sometime later, after a few heaven and earth phenomenons that signified he had comprehended Space Laws, he finally opened his eyes, his eyes flickering with a demonic purple light.

'Mhm... it was not intended, but my Space Laws has reached Level Nine Intent in Body Tempering Cultivation, just an arm's length away from reaching Abstruse Intent...'

Davis's lips curled, knowing that for a Greater Law like Space Laws, Abstruse Intent could only be achieved after one stepped into the Immortal King Stage. He wasn't at that level yet. Otherwise, his foundation from comprehending the very basic essence of Space Laws from the Space Essence Orb would've allowed him to easily step into the realm of Abstruse Intent after absorbing Nyx Godwin's high-tier insights into Space Laws.

Nonetheless, the achievement of reaching Level Nine Intent in Space Laws didn't contort his attitude towards his real intent.

First, he raised his hand while he sat, frowning his brows as he gazed at his finger. He seemed highly focused as a wisp of lightning energy and flame energy manifested outside, hovering over the tip of his finger.

Frowning more, he shook his head and tried again.

*Bz~* *Ss~*

*Bz~* *Ss~*

*Bz~* *Ss~*

However, no matter how many times he tried, it wasn't enough to turn his essence energy into destructive energy. Instead, he made an unknown mistake each time, causing his essence energy to turn into its innate nature. This made Davis take a deep breath.

"Not enough..."

He once again went into deep contemplation, starting to rectify his comprehension of Destruction Laws. He wondered where he went wrong a lot. Besides, when it came to destruction, his own combination between fire and lightning was an excellent Law in that field, so he felt that there was some sort of resonation between these three Laws and intended to evolve from it.

This way, he thought his Destruction Laws wouldn't interfere with Chaos Laws that are cemented in his body but would still be bound together by the Immortal Vessel, creating a unique intersection between Destruction Laws and Chaos Laws that would ultimately make his prowess leap by many times!

And then, that kind of unity might not necessarily interfere with his plans to create the Chaotic Genesis Physique, either!

This was what he was after!

Some unknown time later, Davis raised his hands once again.

This time, a purple spark appeared around the tip of his finger, causing his eyes to widen. His expression lit up as he descended into a state of meditation again, figuring that he was following the right path this time.

Soon enough, he raised his hand again and circulated his essence energy. It made its way from his dantian in its purest form, which was heavenly lightning and fire-based essence energy, rapidly turning into a dark-purplish hue as it lit up into a sparkling purple flame, except it wasn't a flame but a wisp that looked wavy and alive like flames.

Davis flicked his finger and sent the dark-purplish wisp towards the front, causing it to fall on the floor as it flickered like it was an afterimage or phasing between reality and the otherworld.

*Boom!!!~*

The moment it touched the ground, it collapsed upon itself, causing an explosion to erupt within a few meters around it.

"Damn..."

Davis sucked in a cold breath as he watched the strand of destructive energy implode, causing as much damage as Shirley's icefire wisp, if not more.

However, he also understood that both Shirley and he were lacking when it came to Icefire Laws and Destruction Laws, respectively. They had to improve their comprehension of it to level their prowess to the level of High-Tier Supreme Law and Top-Tier Supreme Law, respectively.

Once Davis understood this matter, he continued to comprehend more of Destruction Laws, exhausting the last bit of Nyx Godwin's soul essence.

He didn't notice until later on, but his cultivation base had also increased from Level Eight to Level Nine Immortal Soul Stage. Truly, Nyx Godwin's soul was a treat that he didn't expect, making him think that he had Myria to thank for this.

But still, he couldn't help but think what would happen if two Top-Tier Supreme Laws could be combined together, his heart racing with excitement.

Nonetheless, in all this, Lereza watched over him.

"Maybe he really has grasped a way to use both..."

Her voice echoed with incredulity, still unable to believe that Davis had truly comprehended Destruction Laws without even harming himself once.

Her limpid eyes were wide with shock, wondering how monstrous he could be.

She knew that he was in possession of Reincarnation Laws, but that could be attributed to something else, but this... wasn't this his own talent? If not, it didn't make sense to her at all.

"...?"

Suddenly, she felt a sense of danger enveloping her, causing her eyes to narrow as she looked outside. However, her pupils dilated as it took a moment for her to understand that the sense of danger was not coming from outside but inside.

*Splat!!!~*

Davis's body exploded into a blood mist as the amalgamation of chaos and destruction surged from his exploding body and filled the space, turning the enclosed space into a scene of carnage, one that signified violent chaos and rampant destruction that even caused a few layers of the walls to disintegrate.

"!!!!!!!!!"

Instantly, every soul cultivating in Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace was alerted to this startling quake that shook the palace, causing them to come to their senses as they hurriedly ran out.

*Bang!~*

The gates that were half disintegrated were broken open as a purple-robed woman arrived on the scene. She held her stomach, guarding it carefully as she looked around with a devastated expression on her face, tears flooding her eyes.

"Lereza! Where is he!? I can't sense him...!"

Evelynn screamed miserably as she gazed around, her senses brushing over every part of the destruction. Not even a trace of his soul remained, causing her heart to sink, but she found his spatial ring that was at Mid Immortal Emperor Grade in a corner.

It seemed to have survived the blast over whatever explosion it was, but she didn't care about it and tried to search for him to the best of her ability to no avail.

*Whoosh~*

Lereza also appeared in the chamber, her expression and eyes remaining stiff and wide as she could not sense the connection with the other master of the palace.

"He... he died..."

"...!"

Evelynn went stiff, her expression turning bleak as a wave of pain emerged in her heart.
