Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2074: Obscure Heart

Of course, he also slept with Shirley as Shirley herself requested him, so they slept for two hours like two mortal beings before waking up.

Davis also had gained some relaxation since he didnʼt have a wince of sleep in these two months, not that he required it in the first place, but sleep still had calming and revitalizing effects on oneʼs soul in terms of exhaustion. He felt rejuvenated as Shirley did, but before their intimate hand-holding in bed could transform into a full-fledged erotic affair, they left.

They went on to call Clara and leave with her, but halfway, an icy-blue-robed white-haired woman blocked their pathway.

”Congratulations, Shirley.”

”Ellia, you came.” Shirley rejoiced, ”Have you seen our child?”

She had also communicated with Ellia and Myria a few times using projection these past two months, so their relationship was still amicable despite the tension.

Ellia shook her head in response, awkwardly smiling behind her icy-blue veil, ”I wasnʼt allowed inside, so I left to come search for you.”

”Ah, Iʼm apologetic for that. Letʼs go. Iʼll show you-”

”Itʼs fine.”

Ellia waved her hand before her relaxed posture changed into one of innate nobleness, ”When exactly are you going to ascend? Time doesnʼt wait, and neither do my foes. The Calamity Light above is already nearing the level of a stable spatial vortex, so if you keep waiting-”

”Well, donʼt be so hasty. Do you have confidence that you can lose your foes if you ascend? Isnʼt that the worst scenario you could think of, being able to be easily tracked down once you ascended?”

Myria stared at Davis, not speaking for a few moments before she shook her head, ”I donʼt have any. However, do you plan to be cornered here? At least, in the ascended world, you would be able to run around as much as you want to, bide your time, become stronger and strike back.”

”I agree with you, Myria.” Davis nodded, ”However, I still have a few things more things to do here. If I canʼt finish it within the unknown time and couldnʼt battle against the foe, then Iʼll retreat back to the place where I truly originate from, a place where similarly, the foe you speak of fell to the master of this world. I suggest you come with me.”

”What?”

Myriaʼs eyes widened in astonishment. There was a place like that?

Looking at Davisʼs smirk, Myria couldnʼt help but wonder if his words were true.

If that was the case, then no wonder he was assured of staying here, not having much dread in his heart.

Davis didnʼt lie.

Tian Cangjie had been crippled by the master of this world and let off in the Third Layer to live a life worse than death. Therefore, Davis more or less thought if someone were to invade the Third Layer and lay destruction to the astral bodies, the master of this world would definitely make a move.

However, Davis didnʼt bother to explain this to Myria as she didnʼt ask why but he looked at her contemplate with narrowed eyes as she looked away.

”If what youʼre saying is true, then I have one more choice to make in the overall scheme of things. However, since this plan of yours relies on the elusive master of this world, itʼs no different from the idea we conceived that the invading foe would be suppressed upon entering this world.”

Davisʼs brows narrowed.

”Surely, the master of this world wouldnʼt take things down lying on all fours when an uninvited guest had invaded deep into their home unless theyʼre dead. What do you think?”

”I think itʼs not good to rely on a person you donʼt know even a thing or two about.” Myria shook her head when suddenly her tone became softer, ”Honestly, getting divined was my mistake. I shouldʼve known better and warded off my soulʼs resonance with the heaven and earth energy while breaking through. If I had done such a thing, I wouldnʼt have been found.”

”That canʼt be helped… I guess.”

Davis smilingly shrugged, causing Myria to stare at him again before she shook her head.

”I commend you for not using Enigmatic Heart Laws against me in these few months, or else, I wouldʼve been more suspicious of your actions and behavior, making me think that youʼre a chameleon in disguise.”

Myria was still at the High-Level Emperor Soul Stage. However, she would breakthrough in a few days, but that was not attracted his attention but the way she addressed Heart Intent.

”Enigmatic Heart Laws? Whatʼs that? What Iʼm using is called Heart Intent of Heart Laws, right?”

Davis chuckled but looking at Myriaʼs gaze that exuded a smile yet not a smile, he pursed his lips, blinking in confusion, wondering if Myria found him distasteful for using such a Law or was she…

”Heart Intent? Heart Laws?”

Myriaʼs voice sounded exasperated before she uttered with a gentle sigh, ”Who was the person who made such a low-level mistake like this? But, considering that both Laws have similar names and this place is disconnected, I guess thatʼs only normal.”

”What do you mean?” Davis blinked.

”What you comprehended and used on others to understand their emotions isnʼt Heart Laws, but I wouldnʼt say that it is completely different. Heart Laws is a Supreme Law, a fusion between Sound Laws and Desire Laws, of which the latter is the fusion of Illusion Laws and Charm Laws.”

”Huh?”

”Yes, itʼs a fusion between three to four Laws. However, what you comprehended was something similar yet different. Itʼs called the Phyletic Law of Human Race, Enigmatic Heart Laws, an evolutionary result of the growth of a race as a whole.”

”…” Davisʼs mouth moved, but no words came out while Myria continued.

”Everything born into this world has laws governing it. Humans, magical beasts, spirits, and many lifeforms. We arenʼt just existences made by the whim of the heavens.”

”Even armament and artifact spirits?”

”Yes, or so itʼs theorized by the ancient people who named it.”

Davis couldnʼt help but gawk, ”Then youʼre telling me that I reached Level Two Intent in Enigmatic Heart Laws, which is a Phyletic Law and not Heart Laws, which is a Supreme Law?”

Myria nodded her head in response, ”You tell me that your Heart Intent has reached Level Two Intent. However, youʼre wrong. You should say that it has reached Level Two Obscure Intent.”

”Obscure? Not Abstruse?” Davis asked confusedly. If itʼs a Law at a whole new level, then shouldnʼt it be called Abstruse?

”No, Enigmatic Heart Law doesnʼt come under the category of Primary Laws, Greater Laws, and Supreme Laws. It comes under Phyletic Laws which follow its own rules, one of them being that it only concerns the soul, not the body nor the essence. For example, you can start comprehending Level One Obscure Intent when your soul enters the Elder Soul Stage, the Fifth Stage of Soul Forging Cultivation. As for Level Two Obscure Intent, you will only be able to comprehend it upon nearing King Soul Stage, the Eighth Stage of Soul Forging Cultivation, and so on.”

”Wait, I comprehended Level One Intent of Enigmatic Heart Law when I reached Infant Soul Stage!” Davis clarified.

”Thatʼs Elementary Obscure Intent.” Myria couldnʼt help but slightly laugh, ”No wonder you are unable to display the full extent of Level Two Obscure Intent of Enigmatic Heart Laws. If you were, you couldʼve probably manipulated me to death, although I doubt it. Right now, youʼre only at Level One Obscure Intent.”

A prideful tone laced into Myriaʼs voice by the end. To control her Eternal Life Soul was many times harder than one could think.

Davis blinked three times, understanding that he hadnʼt comprehended Level Two Obscure Intent of Enigmatic Heart Laws yet but would be able to since he had already climbed above the,

”But, Iʼll commend you to be able to learn the Phyletic Law of our Human Race and be able to arrive at this point of comprehending Level One Obscure Intent. Thatʼs more than one in a trillion talent even in the immortal world.”

Davis couldnʼt help but smile at Myriaʼs honest compliment. Simultaneously, he wondered what she would tell if she knew that Ancestor Dian Alstreim also comprehended Level One Obscure Intent of Enigmatic Heart Laws. However, there was something more pressing in his mind.

”What about Level Three Obscure Intent of Enigmatic Heart Laws and even Level Fo-?”

”Donʼt even go there.”

Myriaʼs gaze became solemn as she quickly cut him off, causing Davis to blink before he brought his arm up and rubbed his chin.

”Are there Laws above Supreme Laws?”

”There is but speaking about it would infringe upon the secrets of the heavens rather heavily. The same could be said about what you asked before. Even so, do you want to still hear it?”

”No thanks.” Davis waved his hand to Myriaʼs amused question, ”Iʼm not looking to die.”

”Good. I was not going to tell you either. For Elliaʼs sake and my own revenge, how can I let you die a foolish death?”

Myria harrumphed before she turned around and began to walk away.

On the other hand, Davis remained shocked at this revelation that he couldnʼt believe that the entire world here had misunderstood what was supposed to be what was Heart Laws, a Supreme Law with the Phyletic Law of the Human Race, the Enigmatic Heart Laws. One was a Law that all races could comprehend if they had the capability, while the other was exclusive to humans.

It was almost like their Species Law like magical beasts embody but were greatly hidden and extremely difficult to excavate, and hence, he could understand why it was named under the category of a Phyletic Law.

As he was in deep contemplation over Myriaʼs words, he suddenly saw her turning around to look as though she wasnʼt done yet.

”Thereʼs also something I should say, but Ellia keeps annoying me that I shouldnʼt say it as itʼs insensitive. However, I think you might want to hear it either way before it becomes too late.”
