Divine Emperor of Death

Davis wondered if Xerax managed to find anything strange within him.

Although he felt it was unlikely as the second layer of defense, his light energy was practically an impregnable fortress against Xerax's soul attacks, cultivators could still feel the presence of another energy, except since it was within his soul sea, it would be very difficult to detect any kind of difference from outside.

'Well, it's fine even if he picked up something strange… it's better than exposing my soul undulations at a greater intensity by a hundred times…'

Since he kept the battle within his soul sea, many people weren't even able to register the resonance of his soul aura in their minds. Even if they saw him again in some other disguise, it would be very difficult to recognize him, except for Xerax, who battled him closer.

After all, Xerax had already gotten hit by his burst of light energy that had his hand explode one time. It was so powerful that Xerax's right hand had yet to regenerate completely, looking like it was burnt badly even after regenerating.

Nonetheless, he wasn't worried about such things as he didn't have the plan to enact something through another disguise. At this point, he just didn't want to be related to Dead End and the Emperor of Death, at least until the celebratory banquet, where he had planned to end this whole situation once and for all, making things clear between everyone.

Enemies or allies, it would be decided all on that day in his mind.

Davis came out of his reverie and saw that the atmosphere was utterly silent, still distraught with disbelief.

Although he had announced his intent to receive the next challenger, no one appeared.

Indeed, the remaining powers, including the powers that had already fought in this segment, were too stunned to speak anything, unable to comprehend how an immortal whose cultivation base was actually lower than the opponent's could actually withstand such damage.

The youths actually tried to place themselves in his position just to see if they could even emulate a fraction of what he just did right now, only having a soul defense at the soul sea, which is like letting an enemy into a fort and facing them inside, which was very foolish but the end result in their minds was they imagined that they would undoubtedly fall and that too in a mere instant.

Yet, Mo Tian withstood such high-powered soul attacks like they were nothing to bother about that they began to actually wonder if Xerax and Mo Tian had done a big act to fool many people, but even if they did, for what reason exactly!?

Didn't the win basically just go to the Bloodcloud Family by the Blazing Thunder Sect's proxy?

Indeed, even the Bloodcloud Family's Patriarch remained stunned, unable to believe that Mo Tian had actually won instead of becoming gravely injured in the soul for the insolence he had displayed against them.

It was one thing for Mo Tian to sacrifice his soul prowess and hence, develop his martial prowess to a mindboggling level. Such a thing wasn't unheard of in the legends, but it wasn't without its consequences, like falling asleep for no reason or feeling lethargic all the time, which Mo Tian emulated now.

But for him to be this strong in soul prowess and receive powerful attacks that were actually six levels above him with little effort, the Bloodcloud Family's Patriarch couldn't comprehend how exactly this human was in existence.

He would rather believe this prowess if it is said that the other party is an Anarchic Divergent, individual beings capable of immense destruction that even a top-tier heavenly genius would find extremely difficult or even impossible to win against them.

"Elder, prepare two beauties of our family to serve him tonight regardless of his wishes. We must obtain his progeny no matter what, which will be beneficial to our family." Said the Bloodcloud Family's Patriarch using soul transmission to the Elder who formed a deal with Mo Tian.

"But Patriarch, it would be difficult for immortals to get preg-"

"That's not something you would have to worry about. Here, this is a pill capable of sealing the yang essence and storing it in the womb for countless years, allowing them to get pregnant whenever they ovulate and wish to. If they could successfully seduce and sleep with him, then tell them their entire family would have their status improved and looked after for centuries."

The Elder obtained the pill in a jade container through the sleight of his hand, covertly storing it in his spatial ring. At the same time, his eyes couldn't help but flicker with some greediness.

After all, it was one of the Bloodcloud Family's finest creations sought throughout the First Haven World. It was such a rare pill that any immortal intent on having an immortal child would go crazy in order to obtain it, but due to the limited ingredients, there were only a few of them available, solely intended for the Patriarch to procreate and at times, used by other talented individuals who were only second to the Patriarch.

"Wait… this is also an aphrodisiac incense that's at the Peak Immortal King Grade. This should be enough for him to keep it up for a few days, so tell them to light it up once they've successfully seduced him."

The Bloodcloud Family's Patriarch also gave him another jade container, causing the Elder to covertly receive it again.

"Xerax."

In the Cyan Soul Rat Clan's location, someone approached Xerax from the side, speaking through soul transmission.

"Patriarch." Xerax turned to look, his expression appearing solemn.

"Tell me what truly happened on the battle stage."

"Patriarch, I swear. I was not able to break his soul defense despite managing to strike his soul sea. It's… It's really like I'm facing an Immortal King heavenly genius. I think we should check-"

Just as he enunciated his suspicion, the Cyan Soul Rat Clan's Patriarch glared at him. But despite receiving the pressure, Xerax did not break eye contact, returning the glare with pride and stubbornness of a kingly existence.

"I demand we should check his true cultivation."

The Cyan Soul Rat Clan's Patriarch still stared at him before looking away, "I'll see to it."

Xerax's expression slightly flickered. It couldn't be that his Patriarch was actually considering recruiting Mo Tian, right?
