Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1137 Leaving The Stormy Sea Region

Thunder reverberated across this ocean area, and drizzles of lightning additionally crashed down from the dark clouds on the four-kilometer long radius whirlpool, forming the scenario of immense stormy weather.

*Bzzz!~*

The sea of black lightning that sparked and crackled two hundred meters above the ocean didn’t even take an instant as it crashed down on both the magical sea-beast and its dozens of tentacles.

*Bang!~*

Arcs of black lightning ran down on its tentacles like millions of snakes as if cleaving it into pieces. Its tentacles trembled with vibration before the arcs of black lightning hit its head that was peeking out from the center of the whirlpool.

*Roar!~*

A horrid roar of a painful voice echoed around the stormy area.

The strands of black lightning fell like small rocks of a meteor. The octopus-like magical sea-beast continuously took hit from Davis’s Superior Manifestation and had its skin charred by the black lightning in a few seconds while it roared in pain.

However, it didn’t seem to be sustaining much damage, contrary to what he saw.

"A Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Magical Beast..." Davis uttered in exasperation as his eyes narrowed.

As the situation stands, with his Mid-Level Law Manifestation Stage Cultivation, he would find it almost impossible to defeat a Peak-Level Seventh Stage existence. Even with his Superior Law Manifestation, crossing five levels to battle was quite the impossible feat. That left him with a few other options, like to take this battle to close-quarters combat with his Low-Level Martial Master Stage Body Tempering Cultivation.

He knew that his Body Tempering Cultivation was capable of crossing three levels to battle, but in this stormy sea area, he would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage with his earth-attribute, not to mention that the octopus-like magical beast had its advantage over his earth attribute with its water-attribute.

He would be beaten black and blue, dragged into the whirlpool before possibly being devoured.

If that was the case...

Davis raised his hand and pointed at the octopus-like magical sea-beast as he stood above the flying boat, his eyes gleaming with a cold light. His soul force shot from his finger like a snake and turned into a vermillion bird.

Just when the octopus-like magical sea-beast was about to counterattack after the numbness had disappeared, the flaming vermillion bird instantly reached the magical sea-beast and hooked its head with its talons.

The octopus-like magical sea-beast’s head became spontaneously set ablaze!

*Roar!~~~*

"Vermillion Bird’s Talon Shackles..." Davis uttered amidst the magical sea-beast’s miserable cry, and the index finger he pointed at it heavily trembled before he closed his fingers into a fist, his eyes flashing with killing intent.

"Incandescent Cry of the Vermillion!"

*Screech!~~~*

A resounding cry echoed throughout the sea region as a formless soul technique made its way to the magical sea-beast’s head. It struck and sank in like it was fusing before it entered the magical sea-beasts’ soul sea!

The octopus-like creature went stiff as it heard the numerous cries of the vermillion bird eradicating its soul! Its tentacle stopped flailing along with its cries. Then as if it lost control of its body, the powerful yet gluey tentacles fell into the whirlpool while its body also started to disappear into the bottom of the sea slowly.

Abruptly, a web of seamless soul force covered its body and lifted it above, going against the tide of the giant whirlpool. It successfully floated up, and its gigantic body came into view. Its tentacles alone were four hundred meters long, but its body was just about thirty meters tall.

As it floated, it suddenly disappeared from existence, and the void it left out formed a breeze that made the wind current a bit chaotic before it returned to the norm of the storm.

Davis took back his hand and saw the spatial ring. He had stored its body in the spatial ring, as well as its Peak-Level Seventh Stage Soul Essence in his soul sea. Fortunately, it seemed as if its soul essence wasn’t damaged.

The Incandescent Cry of the Vermillion is a technique that directly attacked the soul. Usually, it would cause tremendous pain from the vermillion bird’s screams that continuously echoed in their soul sea, causing them to faint from being unable to endure, sometimes causing death as it caused their soul to collapse.

In this case, the Incandescent Cry of the Vermillion directly caused the victim’s, the magical sea-beast’s soul to collapse.

Davis didn’t hold back at all, unlike the time he fought a battle exchange that concerned Soul Forging Cultivation with Ancestor Dian Alstreim, not to mention that his soul force had grown by two levels since that time. As he said before, no Peak-Level Seventh Stage existence was a match for him unless they were like him or had a tremendous prowess than him somehow.

"Well, I don’t have the blood of the Vermillion Bird with me, so the prowess of this manual’s techniques could not be fully displayed by me, but what would it be like in the hands of Princess Shirley who possesses the Fire Phoenix’s Blood?"

Davis mused, thinking if a person with the Fire Phoenix blood was compatible with the Incandescent Vermillion Soul Mantra, the Peak-Level Emperor Grade Soul Forging Cultivation Manual he currently trained in!

If Princess Shirley used it, would her prowess in Soul Forging Cultivation at the same stage and level while using the manual’s techniques be stronger than him?

He didn’t know but would be glad if it did.

Davis’s lips curved into a smile as he steered the flying boat behind and tried to leave the storm zone.

Right now, his Solitary Soul Avatar had also set out to find Princess Shirley!

Perhaps, it would only be a matter of time before he finally found her!

"Mhm..." He mused, "Considering that it was witnessed that Ellia and Princess Shirley appeared together in the Tripartite Alliance Territory before they escaped towards the Falling Snow Sect Territory, they must’ve left the range of the Tripartite Alliance Powers."

Davis took out an object from his spatial ring and viewed it with interest.

It was none other than the general map of the entire Fifty-Two Territories marked with its Territory Gates!

On the far western side, the Nine Western Territories came into his view. It was truly small when compared with the size of the other Territories. Davis heard that the small-sized Territories occupied only around thirty billion square kilometers on average while the mid-sized Territories occupied ten times of that, ranging to three hundred billion square kilometers of surface area.

It was truly mind-boggling to even think about these numbers, but Davis wasn’t interested in that at this moment. He viewed the map and saw that the Falling Snow Sect’s Territory Gates were connected to the Tripartite Alliance Territory in the north, the Weapon Refining Villa Territory in the south-west, and the Dual Lotus Manor Territory in the south-east.

This information, he already knew since Drake had gone to the Dual Lotus Manor Territory, making him a bit interested to hear about this ’paradise’ in the past.

In any case, if Ellia and Princess Shirley had run away to the Falling Snow Sect, then they could’ve only escaped from it in two ways. Either they must’ve headed towards the Weapon Refining Villa Territory or made their way to the Dual Lotus Manor Territory.

Looking at the overall map, he almost knew that they must’ve fled towards the Dual Lotus Manor Territory since it was a mid-sized Territory, making it a suitable Territory to hide and grow with its three hundred billion square kilometers of surface area and a few other reasons.

However, considering Ellia’s other persona’s dislike for men and Princess Shirley’s feelings for him, he felt that they were unlikely to stay in the Dual Lotus Manor Territory for obvious reasons.

Davis narrowed his eyes as he saw where the Dual Lotus Manor Territory’s Territory Gates led to as his cheek’s twitched.

Six Territory Gates!

They were connected to the Falling Snow Sect Territory in the north-west, the Vital Tempering Sect Territory in the north, the Twilight Physician Hall Territory in the north-east, the Weapon Refining Villa Territory in the west, and the Emperor Sword Sect Territory in the south!

The hurdle he would face in finding both of them just shot up the roof!

But considering that the Dual Lotus Manor was a mid-sized Territory, he felt that it made sense for it to have six Territory Gates.

He didn’t have the confidence to find both of them at the same time. However, if it was just Princess Shirley, he was sure that she headed to the Burning Phoenix Ridge Territory located on the Dual Lotus Manor Territory’s eastern side!

That’s why he decided to concentrate on finding Princess Shirley rather than Ellia temporarily.

One other way to easily find their existences was to investigate using intelligence organizations or directly buying available information from them. Davis had already heard about the All-Seeing Towers’ massive reputation from a few knowledgeable people in the Grand Alstreim City when he roamed around to do the tasks before he left.

If he were to hire the All-Seeing Tower, even if they could not find Ellia, he was confident that they could track down Princess Shirley’s whereabouts. Nevertheless, their existence was something he could not reveal due to the connection they had with the Forsaken Phoenix Realm, and he didn’t want the famous All-Seeing Towers to have an eye on them for no reason.

He felt that it was better if he found them himself before retrieving them to his side. Although he felt that Princess Shirley would come with him with just a word from him, he didn’t know if she still felt the same.

Davis’s expression fell a bit.

He hoped that she still thought of him and allowed him to correct his mistakes in the past.

As for Ellia and her seemingly previous incarnation who possessed her body, Davis’s eyes flashed with determined intent.

Whether through coercion or force, it didn’t matter. He would bring Ellia back no matter what!

If Ellia wanted to leave of her own volition after that for some reason, he felt that they could talk it out before they reached a mutual understanding. After all, Ellia was her own person, and he still considered her as his friend, wishing her the best!

However, if that so-called previous incarnation interfered... his eyes simply flashed with a cold gleam.

As if agreeing with his thoughts, the storm cleared away from his sight, revealing the brilliant, sunny sky while the raging sea turned into a calm sea with slight, docile waves, making it appear to be a tranquil and beautiful scene.

Davis calmed himself down as he stored the map before his eyes focused on the vivid scenery that came into his view. At this moment, a dark light abruptly flashed out from his forehead and landed on the flying boat, turning into a black-robed, blindingly gorgeous woman who kept her eyes fixed at the wonderful spectacle.

"So beautiful..."

A clear voice rang out from her rosy lips that moved, causing Davis to smile as he turned to look at her.

"Nadia..."
