Divine Emperor of Death

”Sophie…
Sophie! ” 

He considerately called out as he patted her pretty face twice but seeing that she didn ’t respond but just kept breathing a bit heavily as her bosoms heaved visibly; he gently wrapped his arm around her waist as he made her sit up and examined her state.

Sophie Alstreim wore a pure white robe, but it had been stained with a bit of blood.
Her rosy lips were quite pale, while there was a bit of blood above her lips, indicating that she had bled from her small nose.
She didn ’t seem to be wounded at all other than appearing to have received blunt attacks to her body. 

She was still alive without a doubt, albeit breathing a bit heavily while her expression said that she was exhausted like a dried-up river.

Davis extended his other hand to hold her wrist and sensed that her meridians were devoid of energy.
His soul sense traced her meridians pathways to her dantian and saw that it was also devoid of energy, while even her manifestation was faint.

’She had fainted from over-exhaustion.
Did she use up all of her essence, martial and soul energies…? ’

Okay, he only thought that Sophie Alstreim was courageous to deal with Evelynn while knowing that she was a poison cultivator but to think that she was reckless into having a death wish by coming to this danger zone.

’Did she come alone? ’

Davis mused as he lifted her up and princess-carried her into his arms.

Nevertheless, Davis remained astonished to see this woman suddenly appear here for no reason.
It was completely random to him as he had just talked to this woman like half a day ago in the Purple Guest Palace, and yet, she showed up here on an Amberal-Armored Armadillo, looking to be a bit injured, exhausted, and fainted.

Speaking of these Amberal-Armored Armadillos…

Davis blinked as he thought that they were statues since they didn ’t seem to move or even let out a sound, especially the one that carried Sophie Alstreim.
While the others trembled from fear, it turned into a complete statue as if it lost its life standing on all four of its limbs.

His eyes gleamed in a cold light as he kicked it, ”You…
tell me about what happened to her! ”

”WRYY!!!~ It wasn ’t me!!! I didn ’t harm her!!! ” That Amberal-Armored Armadillo jumped away and curled into a ball as its armor severely trembled, making jittery sounds.

The others also became alarmed as they took two steps back.

”We didn ’t harm this woman either! ”

”She is on the list and is the granddaughter of a Grand Elder! We don ’t dare harm her! ”

”Yes, yes! Young Master, she attacked us but used up all her energy and fainted by herself!!! ”

Davis narrowed his eyes as he stared at them.

”Is that right? ”

The Amberal-Armored Armadillos appeared relieved as they saw the scary human ’s silhouette disappear from their view, but they were startled to hear three thuds simultaneously echo.
When they turned to look at the source of the sound, they saw that three Amberal-Armored Armadillos had dropped to the ground.
One of them went to check and echoed that they were dead!

They then realized that these three were none other than the Amberal-Armored Armadillos that shouted about making Weiss Alstreim pleased by giving that captured woman to him as a sacrifice.

Instantly, they felt cold sweat running down their back behind the armor.
Fortunately, none of the other Amberal-Armored Armadillos spoke as they noticed the strange atmosphere kilometers away.
Then as if pre-planned, they all looked towards Rasen, who seemed to be on all fours, which was normal for Amberal-Armored Armadillos.

”Lord… ” An Amberal-Armored Armadillo uttered with emotions.

Rasen stood up and gritted his teeth, ”From now on, I will lead the Amberal-Armored Armadillo Clan on this island! Even the other three will fail to stand in opposition to me because I ’m strong!!! ”

”WRYYY!!!~~~ ”

The other Amberal-Armored Armadillos all cried out as tears fell out of their eyes.
They seemed to have wholeheartedly accepted Rasen ’s rule over the other three Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Amberal-Armored Armadillos present in their clan. 

Davis eventually arrived at Nadia ’s location.
He didn ’t know that he took down a tyrant and helped the Amberal-Armored Armadillo Clan instate a new lord who would rule over them, and neither did he care about something like that.
He saw Nadia absorb energy from the spirit stones in peace before he summoned a portable wooden house from his spatial ring.

It appeared ten meters tall and wide and occupied a space of hundred square meters.
It had two bedrooms with attached restrooms, a single kitchen, and a big hall like a contemporary apartment, but it was a wooden house.
It appeared to be built with High-Level King Grade Wood materials, logs, so even if it got struck by lightning, it would not instantly burn down.

Unless it was in the midst of a thundershower, Davis felt that it was unlikely for this wooden house to burn down.
He bought it for this location, after all.

He opened the front door and walked into the hall before approaching a bedroom door that was on the left side.
He entered and laid her on the bed before taking one of the many Peak-Level Sky Grade healing pills he possessed before popping it into our mouth.
A few moments later, he popped in an energy revitalizing pill in her mouth to help her regain her energy back.

Her skin underneath her stained robe quickly became healed under the effects of the healing pill as the redness disappeared.
Her expression became normal as a healthy redness also appeared on her cheeks in a few seconds as the energy revitalizing pill helped her essence energy return.

It was as if she gained a new life as her breathing became normal, but she still possessed a frown.
Davis knew that it could probably be a headache since she seemed to have completely spent her soul force. 

Davis narrowed his brows in hesitation.
After a few moments of contemplation, he sent his soul sense to his surroundings before drawing it back a second later.
He confirmed that no one was present within a twenty-kilometer radius and was fortunate enough not to be hit by a strand of a lightning bolt.
Otherwise, it could possibly injure him, and he didn ’t want to find if it could out at this moment.

He wanted to improve his Soul Forging Cultivation, not injure it.

Davis reached out his hand and touched the center of her forehead with his index finger.
His tip of the finger became covered in pure white light, seemingly passing into Sophie Alstreim ’s pores, entering her soul sea.

Sophie Alstreim ’s body shook for a moment.
Her brows trembled before she seemed to relax, a smile appearing on her rosy lips.
It was as if she was having a sound sleep while watching a pleasant dream.

Davis subconsciously smiled on watching her expression.
She looked adorable, giving him the feeling that she was not a woman with a straightforward, blunt mouth.

She said what she wanted to say and did what she wanted to do, not minding most opinions that people would say about her.

”Idiot…
at least, use the vial of nectar I had given you before coming here… ” Davis shook his head as he let out a chuckle before pulling his hand back.

From his senses, he could tell that she remained in the same cultivation base.
Especially, she seemed to remain at the High-Level Silver Stage, the Fourth Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation.
To her, the nectar should ’ve been incredibly useful as it is at least capable of making her enter the Peak-Level of Martial Ascendance Stage in a year with only the need to build the foundation by battling, getting used to her body while letting it settle!

But to think that she didn ’t use it, nor wait till her cultivation reached the Seventh Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation but foolishly entered the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago and that too alone… 

He had nothing to say about her recklessness.

However, he abruptly noticed that her robes were wet because of the drizzle outside.
Since he maintained a thin veil of his energy around him, he wasn ’t drenched at all.
Nevertheless, his expression became odd, but knowing that a cultivator wouldn ’t get a cold just because of being drenched, he decisively turned around and left.

Just when he opened the door and placed a leg outside, a low rumble echoed.

*Bzzz!~*

Abruptly, turbulent undulations rocked the wooden house, making it tremble in intensity.

”Great!…
Nadia broke through… ” Davis ’s eyes flashed.

He took another step forward and was about to head out when he abruptly heard a trembling voice.

”Don ’t go… ”

Davis ’s expression froze.

”…
I ’ll become…
stronger and…
gain your…
recognition… ”

Davis slowly turned to look back and saw that Sophie Alstreim was still asleep, except her brows had returned to a frown. 

He blinked once, his expression turning a bit helpless before he closed the door and left.
He exited the wooden house and saw that Nadia ’s lush black hair flowed hovered above her head, making her look further like a stunning piece of art in his eyes.

”Mid-Level King Beast Stage… ” He muttered and walked towards Nadia as her dark, illuminating energy and intense undulations were gradually returning to her, into her body as if they were a receding tide. 

It seemed that she was conscious and capable enough to control her overflowing undulations that she did not let her breakthrough harm the surroundings much, perhaps, especially the wooden house since she knew that Davis was inside.

After all, a magical beast didn ’t need to steadily concentrate on absorbing energy from Spirit Stones.

Once it became dead calm for a moment as the final and last strand of energy, as well as her undulations, completely returned to her body, the sound of drizzle emerged before the lightning started to strike the area again.
It appeared as if her breakthrough had momentarily disrupted the weather in this particular area, making Davis wonder how strong Nadia would be at the Peak-Level King Beast Stage.

After all, Nadia, as a King Tier Magical Beast, can match a Ninth Stage Powerhouse as a Peak-Level Eighth Stage Magical Beast!

And as a Mid-Level King Beast Stage Magical Beast, perhaps there were only a few opponents, like Princess Isabella, who could face Nadia in battle and not lose in a few moves in the entirety of the realm of Eighth Stage!
