Divine Emperor of Death

Xerax's brows lifted before he couldn't help but smile.

"I would really love to aim to become an Emperor-Tier Immortal Beast, but this isn't the end of a King-Tier Immortal Beast's potential."

"Let me tell you," He started walking around Mo Tian, not even putting up a layer of defense while looking as though lecturing him, "... not only my soul and body are at Level Nine Immortal Beast Stage, but my essence cultivation is also at Level Nine Immortal Beast Stage. This makes my prowess that is already three levels higher, easily reach four levels higher, and combined with the fact that I was nurtured by the Cyan Soul Rat Clan's treasures that made my soul more powerful, which I'm grateful and loyal to, I was able to reach the point of five levels higher with some ease."

Hearing this, the Cyan Soul Rat Patriarch and his people appeared heartened.

But on the other hand, Davis wondered exactly how much they spent on Xerax to bring him up to this level in a short time. After all, to have reached this kind of prowess, he must've been put in a time chamber and nurtured with a lot of soul-based resources.

"However, this isn't the end. The Cyan Soul Rat's inheritances allow me to soar far and wide in the King-Tier state, allowing me to reach six levels higher sooner or later. At that time, even your physical body will fail to stop me."

Xerax came to a stop in front of Mo Tian again. This time, he looked down on Davis from his position of standing tall, slowly reaching out his hand towards Mo Tian.

"No power is going to protect you by offending me. You are really going to die if you don't defend against this move mine: Cyan Soul Stasis."

"Mo Tian, don't play anymore! That's a species technique that will use up a bit of its unique energy to bypass your physical defense and cause your soul to enter a state of stasis, causing you to be unable to react and ultimately making your thoughts null, causing you to enter into a coma!"

Suddenly, many people turned to look at a woman who screamed towards the battle stage.

Her golden hair cascaded down her back in loose waves, framing a face of stunning beauty. Her features were delicate and refined, with high cheekbones, almond-shaped eyes, and full lips painted a deep crimson to match her robe. Her bright eyes were gentle, but they were sparkling with a hint of worry.

Most didn't recognize her, but the few who did recognize her as Shea Goldsun, one of the many disciples who tagged along with Mo Tian in the Void Dust Secret Realm.

Her warning resounded throughout the inner hall, causing countless people to stand on their toes, their body stiffening and their hearts clenching as they saw Xerax's index finger finally connect with Mo Tian's forehead.

"It seems like you've chosen death."

A cyan ray erupted, penetrating Mo Tian's forehead as it seeped into his yintang meridian point, quickly making its way into his soul sea.

*Bang!~*

Suddenly, a ray of white light emerged from Mo Tian's forehead, enveloping Xerax's hand.

Xerax's expression changed as he tried to take his hand back, but it was too late, causing his right hand to be completely blown off to the elbow. He quickly took a few steps back and retreated, watching out for further attacks.

However, Mo Tian still made no move, appearing to be still seated in a relaxed state as though he was enjoying a boat ride in serene waters, even taking his arms back and crossing them behind his head.

"Back then, Dead End tried to kill me using his death energy surging from soul force, unable to get past my impenetrable defense. You think you could accomplish what he failed to achieve, dumbfuck?"

"...!" Xerax's expression turned unsightly as he abruptly stretched out his other hand, "Die!"

A wave of cyan light emerged as though they were chains, crackling like lightning as they extended towards Mo Tian, threatening him with a strong attack. However--

*Boom!~*

Another wisp of white light shot forth from Mo Tian's forehead as the cyan chains struck his body, causing them to break.

It made not only the people's eyes go wide in disbelief but also Xerax's eyes, unable to believe that Mo Tian instantly broke his second species technique, which was even more terrifying just like that.

However, the swelling rage inside him disallowed him to accept this scene, believing that it should be an illusion.

"Break!"

Xerax revolved his energy and transformed into a Cyan Soul Rat, swiftly barraging Mo Tian with more soul attacks. They each fell on him, emitting a strange force that caused everything around the area of impact to slow down, even creating incredible shockwaves that had the barrier flickering every few seconds.

But despite this violent onslaught, rays of white light emerged from Mo Tian's forehead as though it was a defensive mechanism.

They could all sense his soul undulations which were at Level Eight Immortal Soul Stage, making this scene utterly incomprehensible to them as they watched with wide eyes, some even having their jaws agape.

"You!-"

Xerax saw that his attacks had no effect on Mo Tian, his giant rat face's expression contorting as it revealed his two fanged teeth stemming from his upper jaw, making him appear menacing. Yet at the same time, he subconsciously took two steps back, his pupils shaking in disbelief and a hint of something that he had never felt in his life.

"Xerax, don't waste your energy anymore. We have already won enough. If you get exhausted, then you won't be able to represent us in the upcoming segments anymore."

"...!"

Suddenly, the Cyan Soul Rat Clan Patriarch's voice echoed out, causing Xerax to come out of his reverie and narrow his eyes. The soul force gathering at the center of his crystal also came to a stop, dimming down before he transformed into his human self again.

"Patriarch is right. I must've been out of my mind to expend all my energy."

"Says the loser."

He sighed, only to hear something which almost made his expression change as he glared at Mo Tian.

"Hmph, provoke me all you want, but in terms of soul battle, you are also incapable of defeating me. For a sitting duck like you, you will be dead before you know it in an uncontrolled environment."

Xerax pointed at Mo Tian and looked down on him before turning around and leaving. However, the barrier didn't open, causing him to look at the referee.

"You have yet to admit-"

"We, the Cyan Soul Rat Clan, surrenders on behalf of our Young Lord Xerax."

The Cyan Soul Rat Clan's Patriarch personally spoke up, causing the referee to narrow his brows before he nodded.

Only then did the barrier open up, allowing the Xerax to leave.

"So, before I sleep again, would anyone like to challenge me?"

Mo Tian's voice echoed lazily as he finally stood up and patted his hands as though shaking off the dust, looking unharmed and undaunted even after taking so many hits, causing many youths to reel in disbelief but also despair.

How could they not be aware of such a monster? They felt ridiculous.

Nonetheless, Davis remained on the stage, his gaze slightly panning over the Cyan Soul Rat Clan as he saw Xerax stare at him with a frown on his face.

'Did he notice my life energy...?'

His second layer of defense was light energy, but the third layer of defense was his life energy that supported the second layer of defense from falling, so he imagined that there was a chance that Xerax could've sensed something strange, which made him wonder if the other party could identify what life energy would even feel like.
