Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2088: A Saint?

However, they knew the inheritance process hadnʼt ended yet.

Frostrose and Flamerose appeared, their expression remaining indifferent yet complex as they stared at Davis and Shirley.

What appeared to be a destructive and explosive process that bordered on the brink of death was subdued through the usage of Life Laws through dual cultivation, thoroughly flabbergasting them. In their many years of life, this was the first time they had seen such a phenomenon occurring as all characters who used Life Laws were rather called Saints or Saintesses.

It was the unique title presented to them because learning Life Laws wasnʼt a small feat, not to mention that they were all inclined with good moralistic values like virtue and honor, so for such people to perform such an ambiguous and erotic act was nothing small of a scandal.

”Shirley, get ready to receive my phoenix soul.” Frostrose spoke at this moment, ”Your husband canʼt help you with this one as he has already exhausted most of his soul force, so itʼs all up to you and me.”

”I understand! Bring it on!”

Shirley deeply smiled, causing Frostrose to nod satisfactorily and joyfully because, in this process, she didnʼt need Davisʼs help at all.

==========

Three more days later, Shirley woke up from slumber and glanced at Davis by the side, who smiled in relief.

”Youʼre finally awake, Shirley.”

He stretched out his hand, causing Shirley to react and grab his hand, sitting up as she looked around.

Shirleyʼs eyes narrowed as she felt a faint sense of calmness that she had never felt before. It wasnʼt like she was trying to be calm, but it felt as though it was her natural state, like how she perceived Clara or other ice cultivators.

ʼMarvelous… I could feel my thoughts flow more clearly than ever...ʼ

She turned to look at Davis and stared at his sapphire eyes, seeing her image reflected in his pupils, causing her to blink before she pulled her hair and saw one-third of it had become icy-white. Even then, she didnʼt feel panic or discomfort but looked excited.

”I succeeded…. I succeeded in inheriting both of their powers!”

Shirley excitedly clamored before she pounced on Davis, tightly hugging him as a resplendent smile filled her face, causing Davis to smile brightly as he understood that she was still his Shirley, cheerful and hyperactive. The moment she opened her mouth, the effect of Ice Phoenixʼs Soul Essence that fused with her didnʼt seem to have any effect on her.

Understanding this, Davis inwardly heaved a sigh of relief as he preferred his Shirley to stay in good spirits, smiling all the time.

”Excellent, Shirley. Youʼve outdone yourself this time.”

”Mhm~”

Davis didnʼt cut down on his praises, causing Shirley to redden slightly before she sincerely accepted them. Absorbing the Ice Phoenix Immortalʼs Soul Essence made her go through a similar ordeal as absorbing the Ice Phoenix Immortalʼs Blood Essence, but because she already has her body assimilated with the latter, the soul absorbing process became easier, but the pain she had to endure was way worse.

Amidst the cries and throes, Davis almost made a move, wanting to stop the fusion process, but she overcame it with sheer determination this time, and as an end result, fainted for a while, almost an hour.

When she woke up now, she could feel that the two phoenix immortalsʼ powers were now hers!

Shirley separated from Davis and raised her hand as her palm faced above. Abruptly, the ambiance in the cave flickered as flames appeared on both her palms, floating with incomparable undulations. However, one was a scarlet flame, and the other was an icy-blue flame, burning with an incredible intensity that brought unbearable chill on one side and a blazing surge of heat on the other.

Simultaneously, Davis saw that Shirley reached High-Level Law Rune Stage, and whatʼs more, with the extreme amount of energy from absorbing seven blood essences and one true blood essence, she formed a Supreme Immortal Rune in her lower dantian. It was a fire-attributed Supreme Immortal Rune that was re-manifested from an Imposing Rune.

She had been stuck in the Low-Level Law Rune Stage for almost a year because of her pregnancy, but that didnʼt stop her from comprehending Fire Laws. Her Fire Intent had also spiked with absorbing four Fire Phoenix Immortalʼs Blood Essence at that time, so she was successfully able to create a Supreme Immortal Rune.

As for Shirleyʼs Ice Laws, she had created a manifestation, domain, and a sea, a hundred and fifty-kilometer Immeasurable Sea.

ʼMiraculous… this kind of comprehension is impossible considering that Shirley had just started comprehending Ice Laws, but the fact that she could reach Level One Ice Abstruse Intent in a short amount of time could only mean that the blood of the twins was extremely compatible, giving her a significant boost to comprehend Ice Laws….ʼ

Whatʼs more, Shirley could use the Revival From The Ashes Technique again, making it so that even if she died once, it was possible to revive herself. This kind of cheat wasnʼt stackable but was certainly replenishable, or so Davis thought with glee.

Shirley sat in a lotus position, beginning to count her benefits.

During these six days, Shirley unequivocally declared her love to Davis repeatedly while she endured the absorption process of the blood essences, all the while breaking through multiple times in every one of her cultivation systems and her comprehension.

As she checked on the status of her body, Davis turned to look at two phoenix beauties appearing behind him from nowhere before they narrowed their eyes at him. He wondered what they wanted for them to be this cautious and then remembered that he asked for their remnant souls, causing him to wryly smile.

He was indeed greedy for their remnant souls, which should still possess an exuberant amount of energy that could reach immortals and above, unlike the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin that had its remnant soul completely exhausted that it was on the brink of death, but with him owing them too much, he was no longer interested or even shameless enough to ask of them again.

”If you donʼt mind me asking, how did you manage to learn Life Laws?”

Suddenly, Frostrose spoke, causing Davis to blink as he was caught off-guard.

”Why do you ask?”

”Itʼs because itʼs almost unheard of for a Divergent to learn Life Laws as itʼs one of the laws that oversees growth and metamorphosis. It feels distant and unbelievable to see a Divergent mastered Life Laws because all theyʼre good at is destroying.”

”Really,” Davis squinted his eyes, looking doubtful, ”Thereʼs really no Divergent in the annals history to ever master Life Laws?”

Frostrose slowly shook her head.

”I canʼt say for sure as some facts are simply hidden or forgotten underneath the suppression of the invisible hands of the skies. However, there was one character who was prominent in my era, beautiful and otherworldly, even having us phoenixes speak highly of her without reserve.”

”…” Davis couldnʼt help but blink before his lips moved.

”Is it Saintess Lunaria?”

”Saintess Lunaria?” Frostrose inclined her head, looking bewildered before she shook her head as an admiring glint appeared in her eyes, ”I have no idea who youʼre talking about, but she was called Saintess Myria, a person synonymous with the term benevolent and understanding. That blinding figure has almost achieved the peak of what Life Laws was capable of in her realm, receiving the adoration and respect from almost every power to have ever existed.”

ʼWhat the…?ʼ

Davisʼs mind reeled in disbelief. Saintess Myria? Benevolent? Understanding?

Was this Saintess Myria the same person they were thinking about!?
