In a certain high palace tower that reached around two hundred kilometers in the skies, a bald man with white robes was inside the tower, cultivating on top of a lotus cushion that seemed to have a great beneficial effect on one's soul. He had his brows frowning most of the time.

Abruptly, his body shook, causing blood to leak from his dried-up lips.

'Damn it...! How powerful is that deathly attack from that damned wolf!? I can't get rid of it at this rate as it's impaled to my soul, trying to devour it slowly...! Is this the deadly nature of Death Laws!?'

He couldn't help but wonder the same thing again and again as if he went retard, but in truth, he never found a soul attack so tenacious and irremovable in his life. He had tried about four kinds of remedies already but failed to erase this death energy with every single one of them that he was already beginning to think of sealing its efficiency rather than removing it.

Just before he could start, the bald man's eyes suddenly shot wide open.

"Intruders...?"

He stood up, his Peak-Level Emperor Soul Stage soul force billowing like a flail as it landed on the intruders, only to have his eyes go wide in an instant.

"This is... the Emperor of Death!?"

At the same time, two figures brazenly entered the palace by breaking the Peak-Level Emperor Grade Door right in front of his eyes, walking into the big and sacred hall decorated with many types of furniture that created a solemn atmosphere.

"Soul Emperor Zealwonder, I heard that you wanted those spatial rings of that granny and her grandson whom I killed, so I came to give them back to you."

Davis smirked at him while Soul Emperor Zealwonder's expression turned ugly.

How was this person still alive!?

"Die!"

Soul Emperor Zealwonder made hand signs and abruptly launched a glowing arrow towards him. Its resplendent light emitted a holy light that creased Davis's brows, but a dark light shot out from his forehead as it created a hazy dark barrier around him.

At the same time, a small wolf appeared in front of the resplendent aura and swung its claws at it, simultaneously breaking the holy arrow. However, it simultaneously broke into motes of light and targeted Davis from all sides only to be engulfed in the deathly barrier, but despite that, they were still slowly making their way to Davis when four lances abruptly shot out and struck the motes of light with incredible speed, destroying them all before they could get even near Davis.

"Woah, what kind of attack was this? It certainly was capable of turning me into dust..."

Davis's astonished yet amused voice echoed.

That attack had the power to kill a Peak-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouse and was even deceptive in its appearance, changing upon destruction to release a few motes of light that could individually kill many High-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouses.

Certainly, it was aimed to finish him off no matter what kind of powers he threw at him.

But at this moment, Soul Emperor Zealwonder immensely shook as he spat out a mouthful of blood. He couldn't believe that these people actually stopped his soul attack fueled by both his blood essence and soul essence! He had taken the initiative to not be on the losing side as the last time, but his attack wasn't even able to reach the Emperor of Death!

Nevertheless, he didn't retreat but raised his hand, his palm glowing as a stone appeared in his hands.

"Idiots! This is my Soul Palace! The Killing Formation here can certainly kill Soul Emperors, and you all just walked right into it, saving me the time to hunt you all down! Ahahaha!"

Soul Emperor Zealwonder brazenly laughed but inwardly. He was scared by this wicked wolf and the other woman who wore a purple veil and luxurious purple-green robe. Even though the latter looked incredibly beautiful, he didn't dare underestimate this fey, but at the same time, a certain name of an individual with those spider lances appeared in his mind.

"Yo- You're the Hex Demoness?" His laughing stopped as he bellowed out in astonishment.

Despite his injuries, he was still keeping an eye on the Alstreim Family as he never knew when that wicked wolf would attack him. At the same time, he heard about the Hex Demoness who was terrorizing the Poison Lord Villa. At first, he didn't bother, but news of her growing strong till the Peak-Level shook the surrounding Territories that the Poison Lord Villa Territory became a no-entry zone for most powers.

No one wanted to deal with this demoness who didn't go target anyone other than the Poison Lord Villa, so why was this woman here!?

What was the relationship between these two!?

The Hex Demoness, who's stronger than the Poison Lord, and also said to be nearly equal to Poison Rift Valley's Dark Poison Emperor, was teaming up with the Emperor of Death?

What kind of absurd scenario was this? After all, everyone thought that this Hex Demoness came from the Poison Rift Valley after the Poison Lord Villa Powerhouses ventured into a strange and dangerous rift to obtain resources. They all thought that the Hex Demoness had been inevitably offended by them to face a terrible fate, but then it didn't seem like the case?

Nevertheless, he grinned, knowing that he got them all in his grasp as he held the core of the Rotting Soul Flash Formation in his palm. It was as powerful as much as its name sounded wicked, capable of taking down High-Level Soul Emperors and even a Peak-Level Soul Emperor as long as the attack was concentrated. It was difficult to block as it was a direct attack on the soul, almost impossible to block with other types of energy, just like this wolf's seamless yet deathly soul attack.

They would have no choice but to take their battles to their respective soul seas to impede its attack. The Hex Demoness and the wicked wolf may survive, but as for the Emperor of Death, who has yet to grow completely, he was fairly assured that he could kill him with this single move.

However, looking at that undisturbed expression of Davis's, he couldn't help but feel disturbed himself. It was almost as if the Emperor of Death couldn't give a damn about what he did and claimed to possess.

"Do you want to apologize and become my slave?"

"You jest for a person who's going to die..."

Soul Emperor Zealwonder's brows couldn't help but twitch.

"Well, thank you for rejecting me."

Davis gently smiled while Soul Emperor Zealwonder's body suddenly shook before he simply lost the light in his eyes, his head dropping before he turned dead on the Illuminating Lotus Cushion.

Evelynn and Nadia couldn't help but raise their brows. There was absolutely no sign of Davis's attack again. Even at their levels, they still couldn't find how he attacked?

Their hearts were full of pride, and at the same time, they were disappointed in themselves to be unable to sense his attack.

Were they not strong enough already?

On the other hand, Davis collected Soul Emperor Zealwonder's soul essence, inwardly licking his lips in desire.

'A Peak-Level Emperor Soul Stage Soul Essence can surely allow me to reach the Soul Emperor Stage...!'

"Are you fine, husband?"

Evelynn couldn't help but worry because the last time he used this seamless and terrifying attack to kill a Peak-Level Soul Emperor, he almost died.

"No problem. I'm perfectly fine." Davis smirked, "I gave him an ultimatum since he was in the grey zone, but oh well, he chose to die. What can I say?"

Looking at him remain fine without even experiencing a single tremble while even joking about it, Evelynn relaxed while Davis was inwardly celebrating the fact that his assumptions about Fallen Heaven's prowess were correct.

He didn't spend a single strand of his soul essence on killing Soul Emperor Zealwonder. In front of Soul Emperor Zealwonder's very presence, he felt small, but his unreachable opponents were extremely inferior in front of Fallen Heaven.

As far as he considered, this world was his to reign freely, just like he once got the Grand Sea Continent under his control. But...

'Nope, unless my very own cultivation allows me to do what Fallen Heaven did at this moment, I'm not gonna do something ridiculous as conquering the Fifty-Two Territories, and I have no intentions to do so in the first place...'

However, he felt that letting everyone know that he was not to be provoked was better. Unifying the Fifty-Two Territories is the best way to do this, but it was probably the last thing he wanted to do at this moment.

Isabella and even his other women would become happy if he embarked on such an ambition, although he knew better than to do that as this world was shrouded in the darkness of the Calamity Light.

Nevertheless, he got himself a Peak-Level Emperor Soul Stage Soul Essence that would allow him to reach Emperor Soul Stage and beyond. Below, an additional Mid-Level Soul Emperor Stage Soul Essence was waiting for him to be reaped if he were to be rejected again.
