Divine Emperor of Death

A golden palace was floating in the Alstreim Family Territory's skies, its grandeur reflecting the rays of daylight. On the distant horizon, the sun was slowly rising up at this moment, signifying the rise of dawn.

The golden palace shone in the majestic rays of dawn, shining over the Alstreim Family that was below it about a hundred kilometers. This palace itself was five hundred meters tall, each floor about fifty meters tall, coming to about eight floors, while the last ninth floor was a hundred meters tall.

Nonetheless, the palace was pentagonal in shape, and each floor possessed an area of six thousand two hundred square meters, capable of hosting an entire population of a village. On the ninth floor, many people were gathered, mostly women, although there were also two men.

They were all fidgety but never said anything, only silently looking at a purple-robed man seated in the middle of the ninth floor. Some of them remained anxious, but a few others were also distracted, mesmerized by the greenery around them.

It was a garden that spanned the entire six thousand square meters, planted with Emperor Grade Ingredients. Each of these ingredients was supplemented by their nature and was provided with ample space to grow, not to mention that suitable nutrients were provided for them as well. However, each of them was covered by grayish-white energy. The strands of these energies numbered over the hundreds, feeding these Emperor Grade Ingredients.

To the back of that man, there was a hole where each floor was connected through the stairs that ran in a spiral shape and led to the very first floor. Cultivators could also free-fall and go to any floor they wanted without a problem, but the strange thing was that grayish-white energy also entered these floors below, dispersing into thousands of strands.

Yet, the source of all these strands of grayish-white energy was none other than the purple-robed man in front of them, seated in a lotus position while seemingly meditating.

Unsurprisingly, it was none other than Davis, but it was his Solitary Soul Avatar, nurturing a plethora of Emperor Grade Herbs, Plants, Fruits, and other ingredients with his life energy while the thousands of King Grade sub-ingredients were subjected to the same.

Most of these herbs were, of course, for the cultivation of his women. As for him, the ingredients that could help him didn't exist here or were too difficult to find. Nonetheless, he wasn't simply wasting time but instead learning Life Laws through his own wits and capability.

With each passing day, his Life Laws gradually improved while nurturing these many lives until he reached nine minor resonances in total.

*Rumble!~*

At this moment, the atmosphere surrounding him began to tremble before heaven and earth energy formed around him in substantial amounts, turning into a pure white fog. They basked Davis, causing him to look majestic, almost like an immortal from legendary tales.

Many gazes were on him, and most of them were all reverential in witnessing this scene, but the majority of them still looked worried.

Sometime later, Davis gradually opened his eyes, breathing in the faint air of life that gradually dispersed.

"Level One Intent of Life Laws…"

Heaving a satisfied sigh, Davis stood up, panning his gaze over his women

With such a simple thought, he started this experiment involving thousands of ingredients, which involved many lives in a way, and ended up succeeding, which gradually increased his Life Laws. Of course, his battle with Myria proved fatal, so he still had to use Fallen Heaven's life energy, but in his own comprehension of Life Laws, he was content with this significant progress.

After all, Level One Intent of a Greater Law was equivalent to a Level One Abstruse Intent of a Primary Law.

It just took around a month for him to reach Level One Intent in Life Laws that it even made him believe that he was proficient in learning Death Laws and Life Laws as long as he could find a source. Was this because his soul was intrinsically fused with Fallen Heaven?

Davis had no idea but felt that it should be the case.

"Are you fine?"

Evelynn stepped forward at this moment, grabbing his attention.

She stopped using her third eye occasionally to connect with Davis's eyes because Davis interfered with her connection. She had no idea why but trusted that he wouldn't do it without reason.

Davis unceremoniously nodded his head, "I'm fine. I've defeated Myria and currently returning with Ellia while she has fainted from exhaustion."

"Yes!!!"

Clamor broke out, his women all cheering for him with visible excitement on their faces. After all, when they heard from Evelynn that Myria reached four levels higher than Peak-Level Ninth Stage and possibly, even more, their scalps turned numb while their hearts fell.

Practically every one of them was inching to do a life and death battle with Myria, but Davis's location was unknown, so they could only helplessly come here to know more.

"I knew it! There's no way our husband would be defeated!" Fiora chirped with enthusiasm, causing the other women to chime in an agreeable manner.

"Indeed!" Ancestor Dian Alstreim nodded, his eyes glued with even more pride than what Davis revealed.

"My son is naturally the best."

Claire caressed Clara's blonde hair as though consoling while Clara herself visibly heaved a sigh of relief, displaying significant emotion. She didn't want a repeat of the tragedy that had occurred before.

Beside them, Tia also looked greatly relieved.

She had tried to predict the outcome of the battle using the karmic luck that had gathered in the New Era Battle Arena just before they could leave, but instead, what she got was an ominous feeling, her instincts telling her not to divine the outcome. She never felt so constricted and suffocated in her experience as a beginner to the world of diviners before, but that only said how important Davis and probably Myria were to the fate of this world, considering she accepted that she was the 'source'.

On the other hand, Davis slightly felt his face burn under the bombardment of compliments. If it was truly his strength that won against Myria, he could stand tall with pride, but with using Fallen Heaven in a fair battle of equal cultivation, he knew that he had lost. However, it couldn't be helped.

That monster possessed a solid seven-level increase in prowess after using everything, while he only reached a five-level increase. Only with Fallen Heaven's power was he able to match her.

This made him think of getting the method to conjure a Supreme Immortal Sigil from Myria as soon as possible, although he was sure Ellia would explain to him once she woke up even without asking.

"When- When would you return…?"

Evelynn worriedly asked, causing Davis to smile, "In a few minutes."

There were only two Territories separating them. It wouldn't take much time for Davis and Nadia to arrive with their speed.

Moreover, part of why he was able to comprehend Level One Intent of Life Laws at this moment attributed to his main body witnessing Myria's Eternal Life Soul. When the main body stepped out of the sealed space, insights simultaneously swelled within him and, combined with what he was doing here, nurturing lives and comprehending their growth and propagation, allowed him to officially step into the realm of Life Laws.

Nonetheless, with his words, everyone completely relaxed, awaiting his return.

Soon, three figures appeared in the distance, one carried. They arrived in front of the golden palace quickly, but instead of entering the ninth floor, they entered the fourth floor, where there was no garden. The fourth floor and below were designated as living spaces.

This palace was one of Isabella's constructs, a Peak-Level Emperor Grade floating golden palace, but unlike the one that was previously intended to be used, this construct was even capable of defending against attacks that were two levels higher, but the requirements, the power source that is Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources was also equally higher, reaching about two hundred and fifty Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Cores.

However, Davis didn't spare any thought to it. After all, he couldn't be cheap when it comes to the lives of his companions and family. Besides, he could get back the fuel anytime he wanted unless he used the palace to roam or use many formations here.

The others also arrived at the fourth floor using the stairs in the middle of the palace, but of course, they all flew down. After all, who was going to scold them when this palace belonged to Isabella and Davis?

They quickly arrived in front of an open hall as they sensed Davis's presence. They saw Nadia lay the woman on a luxurious couch as they approached cautiously, nervous that she might suddenly attack. However, when they saw cuts and bruises all over Davis's body, even some flesh missing, their expression became enraged but then noticing that the woman also had a hand missing, their expressions slightly alleviated.

Knowing that it shouldn't be 'this' woman's fault, they couldn't help but ask.

"Is she Ellia?"
