Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1271 - Bruh...

Logan couldn’t help but wryly chuckle at Davis, "You’re rude as ever. Yes, your idiot father didn’t want to burden you anymore. Actually, resting for two or three months would get me back into shape. Why is there a need for me to waste your time?"

Davis stood in front of Logan, looking at him with a complicated expression on his face.

Was acquiring help from him, their own son, a burden now? He didn’t think so. He simply stretched out his hand as he was going to slap him.

Claire’s expression changed, and even Nora Alstreim narrowed her eyes in anger, seemingly wanting to put the son in his place in front of the father. In her mind, no matter how exceptional one may be, how can they slap their own father!?

Logan didn’t seem to resist. However, once Davis reached Logan’s face, he simply stretched out his index finger and placed the fingertip on his father’s forehead, directly obtaining an entrance to the soul sea. His fingertip began to glow with a pure white light for a second before it stayed that way for five more seconds.

Davis took away his hands, seemingly narrowing his eyes while Logan seemed to be deeply astonished.

His eyes were no longer swollen, and he looked like he was not sick like he was before in any way. His face was rather bright, bright with disbelief as he looked at Davis.

"I’m healed?" He dumbfoundedly uttered a question.

"It took me five seconds to heal with my current prowess?" Davis uttered in astonishment before understanding, "The backlash father experienced was worse than I initially thought it to be. You’ve been suffering repetitive headaches, pain in those swollen eyes, and perhaps even momentary delusions, haven’t you?"

Logan’s body shook as his eyes trembled.

"That’s why you decided to rest instead of working hard like you always do..." Davis nodded in understanding, thinking that his father was rather stubborn.

He could tell that Logan felt useless for being weaker than him, but could he be blamed? Never, since Davis had a heaven-defying existence to raise his cultivation level without bottlenecks.

"You... This soul force..." Logan trembled while he looked at Davis.

Davis smirked, "Yeah, I’ve become a Soul King..."

Claire and Nora’s purple eyes sharply dilated while Logan’s mouth went agape.

Davis knew he was rather having it easy while having Fallen Heaven, but he finally knew how easier he had it.

Logan was forcefully pushing his soul towards the peak while Davis repeatedly broke through as if he had no bottlenecks. That wasn’t the reason for the backlash, but it was more than enough to cause more damage when it resulted in cultivation deviation.

That’s why many people didn’t dare to continuously breakthrough in their souls even if they are ready with comprehension because the backlash isn’t anything small at the latter stages if they suppose failed to breakthrough. They would have to rest for months or take proper medicinal pills or essences to regain their health back.

That was also why many people wouldn’t dare to believe that he was a Supreme Soul Stage Expert, much less a Soul King, and possess a face full of extreme disbelief when they have no choice but to accept it. He had achieved what they had deemed impossible.

"Soul King... King Soul Stage... Isn’t that the Eighth Stage in Soul Forging Cultivation?" Claire uttered in disbelief while Nora absentmindedly nodded her head. However, Laura simply laid her small head on her mother’s bosoms as she began to sleep, not caring if Davis was a Soul King or not.

She appeared extremely cute that Davis couldn’t help but reach out his hand as he softly poked her cheek.

Nora panicked as she looked at Claire and Logan’s reaction. It seemed as if they believed him even though what he said sounded completely preposterous.

"You are joking, right...?" She smiled as she asked.

"Oh, mother didn’t say that I was a High-Level Supreme Soul Stage Expert before I left? How reliable..." Davis shrugged as he looked towards Claire.

"I didn’t know if I should say that without my son’s permission..." Claire dodged Nora’s aggrieved gaze.

Nora pursed her lips, "Big sister, you bragged so much, but why didn’t you brag about such an important detail? Look, I appeared like a fool in front of him!"

"That’s your worry?" Claire became flabbergasted.

While they began to bicker, Davis turned to look at Logan.

While Logan possessed a proud expression on his face, he couldn’t help but look at his two women fighting before he shook his head.

"You are not going to criticize me for taking Nora as my woman?"

Davis couldn’t help but lightly chuckle.

Normally, he would’ve been quick to mock his father, but now, he felt worse than his father. He simply wasn’t qualified to say anything about this, nor did he have a problem since his mother was okay with it.

Heck, he gave the idea, the possibility of coexistence to his mother, and she merely chose to follow it because she didn’t want to lose Nora. It could be said that he also had a hand in this mess, but as a result, the situation between Claire and Nora became harmonious.

All that was left was for Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim and Elise Alstreim to be released, hopefully forgetting their differences. At least, he hoped that would be the end result, and he was sure that he could realize it by bringing Ezekiel Alstreim back from the sealed space.

They would have no choice but to feel grateful towards him, and if they didn’t... Well, he didn’t peg them to be baseless and deceiving characters.

"I would like to say, well done. I muse that you were able to clear the heart demon that might’ve manifested after you had taken Nora?" Davis asked with a smile.

Logan threw the bedsheet away, standing up while stretching his limbs, "Yeah, with Claire’s help, I was able to... easily defeat my heart demon."

Claire awkwardly averted her gaze as she heard it. Only she knew the trouble of making Logan understand that she was fine with it. No matter what she said, Logan didn’t seem to believe her for months before she finally convinced him that she was okay with it. Only then was he able to clear his heart demon, which in turn caused his soul to experience a considerable improvement, allowing him to experience a breakthrough to the next level.

However, it was a pity that the moment of breakthrough was when Laura was born, and that disturbance somehow caused him to fail in breakthrough, causing a backlash that injured him.

"I see..." Davis didn’t comment, feeling rather suspicious of that pause.

Nevertheless, he secretly sent a soul transmission to Logan, telling about the masked person who was outside and his origins and situation.

"... Nero Alstreim is none other than Nora’s supposedly dead father. Shhh... don’t heavily react..."

Logan was about to exclaim before he was stopped by Davis. Only his eyes were wide before it calmed down as he nodded to Davis.

Davis further told on why he did this because he didn’t want his father to misunderstand. At least one of them should know, and he felt that Logan was the perfect person to know at this moment while he felt that his mother would inevitably leak to Nora.

"I understand... I won’t say anything to them both until you bring them back from that so-called sealed space. Nora would shed tears of joy if she knew that person was her father." Logan sent back a soul transmission as he sighed.

Since Nora was his woman, he already knew about her past and how she felt on that day when she lost her parents, and how she came to blame Ancestor Dian Alstreim for it. Claire knew it too. They had too much time to talk and share their feelings above the bed that he knew much more about her.

"Hmph! Father and son communicating with soul transmission. How secretive..." Claire sounded annoyed, but she had a joyful smile on her face.

Davis smiled, "Mother, I thought after the baby is born, and a bit of time had passed, like two or three months later, we can return to our home back at the Forsaken Phoenix Realm. What do you think?"

Claire blinked, "I thought we could leave as soon as the baby in my tummy is born..."

"Well..." Davis scratched his head, "There’s still a few things I have to do and make clear while there’s also a surprise to be known a month later. I guess at that time, Nora would be the most joyful person in the Alstreim Family... I guess..." Davis added with a mysterious smile.

"Huh?" Nora widened her eyes before she looked as if she realized as she smiled, "Of course, a month later is when grandpa and grandma come out of prison. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of them in case if they’ve misunderstood my situation. You have my word."

Nora consoled as she c.a.r.e.s.sed her baby’s back while the baby soundly slept.

"That’s helpful indeed..." Davis felt a headache leaving his head.

"But... to rip them half of their wealth..." Nora wryly laughed, "I don’t know if that would piss them off or not."

"Well, that was compensation for my mother’s suffering. They shouldn’t say anything about it if they possess something called shame..."

"True..." Nora laughingly looked at Claire, finding it hard to refute Davis.

Claire sighed as she slightly lowered her head, "I won’t say something such as being able to forgive them for what they allowed to happen to my father and mother through supporting that bastard Weiss Alstreim. However, since they had already kowtowed and asked for forgiveness, I’ll try to look the other way."

Claire looked at Nora with her purple eyes that shone like a gem, "For you..."

Nora’s stiff body relaxed as she seemed relieved, "Thank you..."

=======

After a short while, Davis left his parent’s living space before going back to see Nero Alstreim.

"Alright, come with me. We should talk to Dian Alstreim about the existence of another Ninth Stage Powerhouse in our arsenal so that he wouldn’t do anything with haste after gaining two powerhouses to protect the Alstreim Family."

In fact, Davis felt that he should’ve told this in the beginning, but he didn’t want Mival Silverwind to know about that as having a trump card other than Fallen Heaven was always advantageous. Likely, Nero Alstreim felt the same, so they didn’t say anything about the people stuck in the sealed space to them at that moment.

"I agree..." Nero Alstreim sighed, "But, don’t you think it’s plainly rude to address Ancestor Dian like that?"

"Uhh... I think Dian isn’t bothered anymore about that..." Davis coughed before he shamelessly said, "You know, not addressing someone with their title can help you close the distance with them."

"Or it might also get you killed..." Nero Alstreim walked out as he laughed and nodded.

Davis was left speechless before he followed Nero Alstreim out of the Purple Guest Palace.

They both checked on the Emerald Crystal Guest Palace and, seeing that its defensive formation was active, the left towards the Ancestral Hall. It seemed as if the Silverwinds chose to be silent for a while, perhaps a day or more, while Ancestor Dian Alstreim had returned to the Ancestral Hall.

In a few minutes, they arrived at the Ancestral Hall in the Grand Alstreim City’s central region.

Nero Alstreim seemed to become emotional as he saw the surroundings, but that was short-lived as they soon entered the Ancestral Hall after talking to Grand Elder Krax Alstreim.

"Well, well, this time, you didn’t appear concealed..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim nodded his head with approval, "Very good!"

Davis smilingly narrowed his eyes before he noticed that Ancestor Tirea Snow by the side had hints of blushing over her cheeks. He could tell at the very least that they were probably kissing.

"Using the Ancestral Hall to do dirty things... Perhaps, you might be the first Alstreim Family Ancestor to do that. Ahahaha!" Davis couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"You...! You never learn..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s expression possessed a shade of embarrassment, but he promptly relaxed as he understood that he couldn’t win against this little bastard by using his mouth that he didn’t even try to retort.

On the other hand, Ancestor Tirea Snow’s blush became noticeable even though she kept her face straight, causing Nero Alstreim’s jaws to almost drop.

How Davis could still have his life intact remained a mystery to him because he was sure that he would’ve been publicly executed for being disrespectful to Ancestor’s wife if he had said that.

"Then, why have you brought Nero Alstreim here? Or did he request to see me?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim turned to look at Nero Alstreim with squinted eyes.

In fact, he wanted to know how Nero Alstreim was still alive because his life tablet had shattered. He remembered that well as it was pretty recent to him, considering the number of years he had lived that numbered in the thousands.

Davis mysteriously smiled, "Guess what?"

"Ancestor, I report that Elder Ezekiel Alstreim, my wife Keira Alstreim, and more than a hundred individuals of the Alstreim Family who had died in the central islands of Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago are still alive!!!" Nero Alstreim clasped his fists and bowed.

"What!?!?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim stood up as if he had truly seen a ghost this time while Davis turned to look at Nero Alstreim as his lips twitched.

"Bruh..."
