Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2389 Nine Lives Gracious Fox Empress

"- to be able to heal any kind of ailment, illnesses, and injuries as long as it's within a minor stage above my full prowess, not to mention that I can also boost vitality up to thirty percent of their entire lifespan as long as they haven't wasted their body's potential already."

"Oh…" Davis couldn't help but beam, "That's wonderful."

If Everlight had healed Ancestor Cornelia and boosted her vitality, it would be possible for her to boost Ancestor Cornelia to sixty thousand years even as she returned to her youth but considering that Ancestor Cornelia had already excavated most of her body potential, he felt an addition sixty-thousand years wasn't possible. Still, that kind of number was mind-boggling to him, but Everlight continued.

"It doesn't end there. That's level one of my species technique. The second level of it is each of my tails represents a life. As long as my soul essence is intact, I can revive myself or revive other people at the expense of one of my tails."

Davis's expression became excited while Evelynn, Sophie, and Niera became stunned. Especially the latter two.

Unlike Evelynn, they had no idea that Davis could revive people but hearing Everlight claiming to be capable of revving people, they were shocked beyond compare.

"However, it's not like I can grant the dead life. That's ridiculous."

Everlight smiled wryly, "I first have to have nine percent of their living soul essence that contains one of their... physical souls and a bit of their spiritual soul so I can nurture them back to life with the second level of my species technique. Otherwise, it won't work."

As she spoke, she transformed back into a white-winged fox and brought her nine tails towards Davis. The fur on the edge of her tails then opened up, but it didn't reveal her bare fox hide but revealed something else.

There were azure orbs on the tip of her tails. Each one of them reflected Davis's appearance as he opened his mouth in interest.

"So this is where you store the soul essences of the target you want to revive?"

"Indeed," Everlight answered as she took her tails back while Davis looked still confused.

"Is there a level three of your species technique, then?"

"There is." Everlight couldn't help but smile, "It requires all nine tails to be intact, and using it, I can revive thousands of existences at the same level as mine or a single existence at a major stage higher than mine. However, the price of it is that I would die."

Everlight's words caused Evelynn and the other's hearts to tremble in shock. Davis was the same, thinking that even he would most likely lose his life if he did something like that.

He only escaped because most of the burden was taken by Fallen Heaven through its unbelievable prowess when reviving Flamerose and Frostrose. Otherwise, he would've been the one to die without a doubt.

Utmost, he could revive a person seven levels higher than him through his own strength. Anything more than that, he would probably have to spit blood or use Fallen Heaven and lower the usage of soul essence.

Just as he was about to praise Everlight, he saw her smile slyly like a vixen, except she was one.

"However, I'm an Emperor-Tier Nine Lives Gracious Fox. All these drawbacks I said don't apply to me or apply to me just a little. For example, with one tail, I can hold the soul essences of three people and revive three of them before sacrificing that tail. For a normal Nine Lives Gracious Fox, losing one tail meant losing it completely, but mine would regenerate within ninety years. Then even if I use the third level, I won't die but only go into a coma that lasts for a few decades or centuries depending on my cultivation base."

"…"

Davis's lips twitched as they came to a stop while the others were completely speechless, too stunned to say anything of relevance that they blanked out.

'No wonder I saw twenty-seven azure orbs instead of nine azure orbs...'

Davis had his confusion cleared when he saw twenty-seven azure orbs on her nine tails. After all, if each tail was supposed to only hold one soul essence, then a single orb on one tail made sense, but Everlight was an Emperor-Tier Magical Beast, making it so that she had three times that capability and possessed twenty-seven orbs to host twenty-seven soul essences.

Davis couldn't help but tremble at the fact of what this entailed for him and his people.

Even if he or one of his people ventured out, there would be no fear of complete death as they would have their souls nurtured back to life.

It was like having a re-spawn point, a game-changer for him, who was extremely cautious to begin with, as he could finally let loose his prowess without the fear of completely dying.

At this point, he wanted to pounce on Everlight and make her completely hers but laughed at himself.

'Is this how my women felt when they knew that I can use life energy or even revive?' He couldn't help but think, realizing how attractive he was to them once again.

However, he came out of his reverie and asked with an excited glint, "What's the name of this technique?"

Everlight returned to her human form, dressed in an azure-white robe as she raised her hand, displaying three fingers.

"Nine Lives Blessings. The first level is called Vitality Surge. Its second level is known as Soul Reconstruction, and the third and final level is called Grand Resurrection."

"Excellent!" Davis raised his hand and patted Everlight's head, causing her to blink.

"It wouldn't take a genius to understand that your abilities are of utmost importance to us. Knowing that, will you still be with us, Everlight? After all, if you went to any power, much less the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan, they would receive you with open arms and luxurious resources that would quickly boost you to Immortal King Beast Stage and, perhaps, Immortal Emperor Beast Stage."

"Absolutely not! Even such a thought is abhorrent and punishable by death!"

Everlight's expression turned angered as she waved her hand.

"Oh, you want to punish me for thinking of that?"

"No! I meant that if I had such a thought, I deserve dea-"

Before she could finish the sentence, Everlight saw that Davis and the others were chuckling. Instantly, she couldn't help but understand that they were playing but still felt embarrassed.

"Master, I won't leave… but I also ask… for you to treat me like you would treat your women and marry me one day..."

Everlight lowered her head as she held her hands, her cheeks coming to possess an eminent blush. However, her words caused Davis to not understand.

How was Everlight still able to retain her previous thoughts despite becoming an Emperor-Tier Magical Beast? Shouldn't her standards and pridefulness also have increased?

Was her sense of accountability and responsibility that strong? Or was her hidden affection towards him run that deep?

Davis thought it was the former, opening his mouth, "You still want to marry me in order for you to complete the task; to form relations with the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan? In that case, I already said that it is enough if you are loyal to me that I will support the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan after I've become powerful in the cultivation world."

Everlight shook her head, seemingly rectifying as she shook her hands, "Master, it's as you said… I don't need to marry you for you to form relations with the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan. However, if I don't marry you and become yours in everything, how can you believe me? I'm an outsider who was graced with your wonderful blessing to become like this, and I, as an Emperor-Tier Nine Lives Gracious Fox, understand the weight I hold in your hearts."

"But it is precisely because of that weight that I must give everything so that you all trust me with your lives. After all, as it is possible for me to revive you all with your soul essence, the reverse is also possible. I can simply destroy the soul essences residing in my azure orbs, disallowing you the ability to be reborn into this world in the case of your death."

"Furthermore, with my species technique stemming from an Emperor-Tier Light Sky Wolf, I discovered that I can implant a charm seed that causes one to be completely loyal to me as long as their prowess doesn't exceed one or two minor stages of my prowess. If I… use that… during the reconstruction of someone's soul, then..."

"…!"

Everlight's voice became meek at the end as she stopped while Davis's pupils shook like they had seen something life-decimating. The others were also shaken beyond compare as they felt chills shooting up their spine.
