Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1615 – Nadiaʼs Species Name?

It could be theorized that their actions bent on destroying the enemy or practicing cultivation to crazy limits at the expense of their own health when they could just purely wait, follow Isabella and Nadiaʼs lead but didnʼt could be due to the darkness in their souls. Or, they already had these thoughts, but the darkness in their souls allowed them to do so without caring for any amount of consequences.

Niera was also here, but it could be seen that she was totally normal, perhaps coming to look after Sophie as he heard from Evelynnʼs account when returning to the Purple Guest Palace with her.

Nevertheless...

”Seems like you noticed.” Davis nodded at Sophie, ”Itʼs not a problem for me, but does it hurt for you?”

Sophie shook her head, ”It doesnʼt. I swear...”

She was worried that Davis would see her as something else due to the change in her soul. She didnʼt want to be mistaken as evil.

”Whatʼs wrong?”

Davis was about to nod Niera couldnʼt help but ask. Being in that underground lava cave through thick and thin, their bond grew more closer, so she couldnʼt help but feel worried for Sophie.

”Nothingʼs wrong...”

Sophie spoke, causing Davis to smile.

”Sophie, there is no need to hide it. Even Evelynn came to possess it, and Mo Mingzhi might have it as well.”

”What!? Why...?”

Sophie couldnʼt help but squeal in disbelief.

When she first witnessed the change in her soul, she had been frightened.

”I donʼt know, but Evelynn claimed that it didnʼt do anything to harm her either, although I believe that it twisted all your emotions to seek a darker path for yourselves.”

Sophie couldnʼt help widen her eyes again.

Indeed, noticing that the darkness in her soul didnʼt do any harm, she prioritized cultivation for vengeance. But again, noticing that she dragged Niera along with her, she couldnʼt help but tremble.

”I...”

Sophie didnʼt know what to say as she looked at Niera. In the end, she moved her lips.

”Niera, I almost dragged you down...”

”Itʼs alright.” Niera shook her head, ”I know what I was doing when I volunteered to make sure nothing happens to you, Sophie.”

”Niera...”

Sophieʼs eyes inevitably trembled as tears welled up in her eyes.

”In the end, it was proven that we shouldʼve followed third sisterʼs lead.” Niera smiled, ”Letʼs both apologize to third sister for bringing needless trouble, okay?”

ʼA fairy from the heavens...ʼ

Sophieʼs heart skipped a beat before she heavily nodded and wiped her tears.

”Mhm~”

Davis smiled as he saw both of them before he didnʼt bother. While Sophie shared what it was like to have this dark soul in incoherent words that really didnʼt amount to anything, they all arrived at the Grand Alstreim City.

However, Davis parted ways with them on top of the Grand Alstreim Ocean and appeared in the Blood Pledge Villa Territory with Nadia. They were both in a concealed state.

”Nadia, do you know where Mo Mingzhi currently is...?”

They both stood side by side before Davis looked at Nadiaʼs pale appearance and couldnʼt help but feel that she was in a class of her own. She didnʼt become more beautiful, but there was this invisible air about her that made her look quite... mythical.

”I know...”

Nadia nodded and shot toward the distance while Davis followed behind her.

”Nadia, whatʼs your species name now?”

Unexpectedly, Nadia shook her head.

”I donʼt know.”

Davis became a bit stunned by her answer.

Werenʼt magical beasts supposed to know about their species as they possessed bloodline memories?

”Davis, I donʼt have any bloodline memories, neither do I know how to cast my unique species technique. Everything is blank, and I received nothing new other than this death energy...” Nadia answered with a bit of doubt in her voice.

Davis couldnʼt help but rapidly blink.

”Could it be that youʼre the first of your kind...?”

Nadia shook her head again, causing Davis to descend into contemplation as he followed her.

Perhaps, the whole reason she formed a cocoon was that she did not undergo a mutation that was already in her bloodline. It was a new mutation from raking in so much death energy. Moreover, there were absolutely no traces of bloodlines memories, meaning she is the first to attain this mutation in her entire species lineage!

Davis also mused Nadiaʼs ancestors mustʼve been from the darkness species branch, and therefore, had easily mutated to Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf and Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf instead of forming a cocoon-like structure to nurture herself.

However, it was unknown if her current species rank is Emperor Rank Species or above.

”Nadia, do you feel any bloodline shackles?”

”Mhm, itʼs hard to tell when I havenʼt reached Peak-Level Emperor Beast Stage yet...”

”Alright.” Davis calmed himself down since it couldnʼt be helped that there were no bloodline memories to guide her, but once he thought of another matter, he couldnʼt help but ask.

”How would you fare against Evelynn?”

”I would lose.”

Davisʼs brows lifted up. There was no hesitation from Nadia in accepting defeat. But...

”However, if I were at the same level as Evelynn, she would not be a match for me.”

Davis couldnʼt help but smile. That competitive heart still wasnʼt lost. She was the same Nadia he loved.

”Yes, youʼre still at the Mid-Level Emperor Beast Stage. Why didnʼt you consume Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments during your doppelganger patrolled? We have millions of those with us in addition to Isabellaʼs inheritance. Surely, as a magical beast, you could absorb all of them faster than us and make quick breakthroughs, right?”

”Davis, weʼre trying. I already consumed about a million Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments secretly whenever I had time to stay out of people watching my movements, but it wasnʼt enough for a breakthrough as it just brought me to the apex of the Mid-Level.”

”Curse the heavens!” Davis swore as he sighed, ”I thought so...! Your prowess has already exceeded the Peak-Level Ninth Stage judging by the feats I heard you achieved, so I was doubtful if Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments even worked on you, but it seems like itʼs starting to lose its potency on you. If itʼs like this, then you must absorb sources.”

”Isabella considered that but absorbing such a thing will be easily noticed. I can only do that in the sealed lightning space if I wanted to do so, but I had no way to enter as it seemed like Niera had the key to that space. However, itʼs not an issue since I was plagued by powerhouses keeping a tight-knit watch over me and my doppelganger, mostly through divinations...”

”Wouldnʼt they be freaking out now?” Davis raised his brows.

”Itʼs fine as long as I donʼt disappear for three to four hours. They provoked me and knew my limits, so I know theirs too.”

An imperceptible smug hung on Nadiaʼs peerless beauty, causing Davis to truly look at her again. Was it his imagination, or did Nadia grew smarter?

Nevertheless, taking his gaze off, Davis wondered how many levels were separating the Peak-Level Ninth Stage and Immortal Level. One should know that even having perfection in everything wasnʼt enough to kill an Immortal other than conjuring a Supreme Immortal Rune. Therefore, he mused that there were at least four additional yet hypothetical ninth stage levels separating the Peak-Level Ninth Stage and Immortal Stage.

ʼItʼs almost as if the hypothetical ninth level of the ninth stage is the Immortal Stage...ʼ

Davis couldnʼt help but descend into contemplation.

Soon, after many twists and turns, Nadia sniffed out Mo Mingzhiʼs scent like the wolf she is. They finally arrived in front of her, looking at her be seated alone in a cave of a mountain. However, there was also another person wearing a mask and a hood on the opposite corner, looking at the dark-yellow crystal ceiling that gave off a rather ominous light, but due to the curvy figure of the person, he found out that they were a woman who had him raise his brows.

When he wondered why Mo Mingzhi could be here with this woman, it didnʼt matter to him the next second as he revealed himself.

”Mingzhi, Iʼm back.”

Mo Mingzhi listlessly stared at the floor, but then she froze the moment she heard Davisʼs voice. She had thought that it was her delusion but feeling her companion strangely react as she stood up, she raised her head and looked at Davis, her black pupils beginning to tremble before a deep smile filled her face.

”Finally, I was wondering how long you intend to stay dead...”

Tears ran down Mo Mingzhiʼs face as she deeply smiled. Her voice was full of numerous emotions that caused Davis to spread his hands. Mo Mingzhi got the cue and jumped to his embrace, tightly wrapping her soft arms around his neck as she squealed in joy while crying.

”It... Itʼs you...”

Abruptly, a female voice full of hatred echoed by their side.

Davis and Mo Mingzhi turned to look at the woman and saw that she was deeply trembling before turning her gaze towards Mo Mingzhi.

”Mo Mingzhi... have you too betrayed me...?”

Blood crimson energy swirled around the masked female figure as Low-Level Law Sea Stage undulations revolved, her prowess capable of reaching almost two levels higher!

”I shouldʼve never saved you...!”
