Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2324 Choosing Turns

Chapter 2324 Choosing Turns

From their location, Davis and Evelynn surveyed the space they were in from the other cities marked on the map and scouted a five hundred-kilometer radius. It took them about a whole day to ensure the area's safety before reconvening at the center.

"Other than mortal realm beasts roaming around and living their lives, there wasn't anything else to be worried about."

Evelynn reported, causing Davis to nod.

"This location is good. All the activities mostly ended six hundred kilometers away. There are no immortal entities here, probably because they fear the Vacuous Beasts that could still be on the prowl. Most importantly, there's a natural barrier with the mountains blocking the view from the far skies in all directions while we can't even see past a few hundred kilometers as the foggy atmosphere restricts vision."

As far as they had surveyed, everything seemed to be good for them to continue with their plans.

Two rays of light shot out from Davis's forehead as a black-robed, pale-white gorgeous beauty with a crescent moon on her forehead and a purple-skinned beauty with scintillating white hair and a white crown emerged.

Davis turned to look at Eldia. The blue robe she wore accentuated her bluish-black pupils flickering with a strand of heavenly lightning. A wide smile was on her face, pale purplish-blue lips curving into one of delight.

"Master, it's my turn, right?"

"Alright, first is Eldia. Then, you, Nadia."

Davis swiveled his head at the black-robed beauty, who also seemed a bit excited as she nodded.

"Finally, it's you, Evelynn."

"I would have two immortal protectors by that time. How reliable."

Evelynn nodded, not fighting for a spot at the first as the three of them looked at each other.

After all, whoever became immortal first would have the chance to impress Davis. But since Eldia voiced out her wishes and Davis arranged the order, they didn't fight for it.

Davis pursed his lips, thinking that it would be better if Nadia or Evelynn was first strength-wise. After all, if they become immortals first, they would definitely be stronger than Eldia. However, with all of them exhibiting known traits that point out to the Emperor of Death, it really didn't matter which of them came first.

Compared to Nadia and Evelynn, who were addressed as the wicked wolf and the Hex Demoness, Eldia's presence was little known as most of the time, she just stayed guard in their palace or was inside him all the time. He had gotten Eldia's help in the battle with the Vacuous Beasts, but it was done mostly by sharing her energy with him.

Even though she had come out, there was little known about her, making it so that if they were caught at this moment, he could play ignorant, try to hoodwink, or even kill whoever came to investigate.

After all, it was unlikely for Immortal Kings to be randomly present here, and since they were far away, with the dense heaven and earth energy clouding the skies and the heavenly tribulations transpiring in the cities by the residents themselves, it was difficult to find heavenly tribulations happening more than a hundred kilometers away.

Moreover, this place acted as a natural barrier, not to mention that the heaven and earth energy here was slightly denser at the valley.

Davis handed over a significant amount of immortal crystals to Eldia.

"Eldia, you may begin."

"Yes~"

Eldia's melodious voice echoed as she transformed into a streak of black-silver lightning as she descended into the valley while Davis, Evelynn, and Nadia stayed at the peak of the surrounding mountains.

Nadia transformed into her winged-wolf form, and her tails split from her body, leaving her with one tail. As for the two other tails, they transformed into two doppelgangers as they rushed to the other sides, covering the valley in their range as they were on the lookout.

"Good Nadia~"

Evelynn raised her hand and patted Nadia's head for being vigilant. Surprisingly, Nadia didn't react with displeasure, seemingly taking pleasure in Evelynn's caresses as she willingly turned her head to get more massages.

Davis's expression became gentle as he looked at them. Since both were Emperor-Tier existences, Nadia was finally able to accept Evelynn's touch without her bloodline becoming offended. Evelynn, being herself, took full advantage of Nadia and rubbed her into being pampered before the latter licked her face reactively in joy.

"…" Davis's thoughts churned in the wrong direction when suddenly a rumble brought them back to reality.

They glanced down, looking at Eldia become covered with a purplish-black light while dark clouds began to gather above her in the skies.

Her heavenly tribulation had begun.

*Rumble!~*

More dark clouds gathered as arcs of lightning flashed everywhere, lighting up the skies that had gone dark from the clouds blocking the sunlight. The foggy atmosphere only made it seem eerier.

"This aura… as expected..."

Davis uttered before he inwardly sighed. Indeed, it was a destructive heavenly tribulation.

Considering that Eldia had absorbed heavenly lightning, it was a foregone conclusion. However, he also wanted to know to what extent his karmic burden caused Eldia's tribulation to become powerful, but he didn't have a scale to measure, so he could only guess upon witnessing its might.

"There's no heavenly flame tribulation. That's good..."

Davis commented as he saw that crimson clouds didn't form. Eldia's karmic virtue was also good, having some karmic virtue formed as quite a number of people seemed to have acknowledged her unidentified presence lurking during the battle.

*Bzzz!~*

In the valley, Eldia hovered above the ashen rocky surface. Arcs of black-silver lightning jumped around her as her prowess grew more and more. If one excluded the heavenly tribulation's tyrannical and oppressive aura, one would find Eldia was already stronger.

To be on the safe side, she was already gathering her power, concentrating huge waves of heavenly lightning into concentrated arcs as she kept them ready around her. They were like hundreds of heavenly swords, ready to pierce through the skies.

However, surrounding her was also heavenly lightning web arcs that appeared like a prison.

*Rumble!~*

Amidst the darkening skies, the arcs of lightning gathered at the center, turning into a bolt of meter-tall blue lightning, radiating immense pressure before it flashed, lighting up the skies.

*Bang!~*

The heavenly lightning fell, striking Eldia!

However, before the heavenly lightning could strike her, she sent a lightning sword at heavenly destructive lightning, causing it to significantly weaken!

But at the same time, it survived and rushed towards her. However, before it could reach her, it was caught by her heavenly lightning prison, after which the heavenly lightning strike began to stubbornly fight back!

However, Eldia reached out her hand and clenched it, causing the heavenly lightning prison to separate into another spherical layer of black-silver lightning. At that point, the new layer condensed and trapped the bolt of destructive heavenly lightning.

With her hand clenched, Eldia pulled it back, and the suppressed heavenly lightning strike went straight into her body, causing her to quiver for a moment before she raised her head and looked at the skies, a disdainful glint appearing in her bluish-black eyes.

*Rumble!!!~*

The heavenly tribulation roared at Eldia in anger.

"Awesome! She's absorbing the heavenly lightning through her own will!"

Davis thought he would help her absorb the last strike of the heavenly tribulation like the last time Eldia encountered her heavenly tribulation to become a spirit from a spirit attribute source, but now, Eldia went beyond his expectations, beginning to absorb the heavenly lightning from the first strike itself and that too made it look easy.

He wasn't heavily surprised because he knew that Eldia's prowess was able to reach five levels higher and more, while this heavenly tribulation strike's prowess didn't exceed four levels higher, but he was still elated.

Unless this destruction heavenly tribulation was extremely strong, Eldia made it seem like she could absorb heavenly lightning as she pleases!

It made Davis wonder if he could do the same with his Tyrannical Heavenly Firestorm Physique without having to use life energy to tame them in the first place! If he could do so, the energy focus he would have to use to counter the heavenly tribulation would considerably lessen!

*Roar!~*

Abruptly, a giant figure appeared in the distance, immortal undulations blaring with a bloodthirsty aura that left them uncomfortable.

Davis and the others instantly recognized it to be a Vacuous Beast, but it possessed three heads and appeared like ancient water dragons or serpents, causing Davis's jaws to drop.

"A hydra?"
