Divine Emperor of Death

Mo Mingzhi became the focal point of this place as everyone looked at her.

Her words were tantamount to leaving Davis, even although it didn't sound like that. However, they, who were already at their edge, couldn't help but feel that way.

Mo Mingzhi didn't lower her head. Instead, she took a deep breath and spoke.

"I am not strong nor knowledgeable like Isabella or any one of you. However, I still feel immense killing intent towards those people responsible for making my Davis like that. I am aware of my weakness, and that's why I want to get stronger so I can beat the crap out of them and kill. In case if you all didn't know, I'm a vengeful woman..."

A glimmer of darkness flashed past Mo Mingzhi's eyes as everyone looked at her, their hearts inwardly resonating with her.

Nyoran looked at Mo Mingzhi before she giggled.

"Little girl. Magical beasts like me are in the minority. If I take you to my place, the chances are that you would be eaten alive before you even know it. Moreover, I'm not strong enough to protect you. Therefore, it's better if you forget it."

Mo Mingzhi appeared disheartened, but she didn't plead for her to take. Instead, her mind descended into contemplation.

Looking at that, Nyoran nodded and explained about the Entombed Darkfall Wisp before she left. 

"Third sister. I agree with Mo Mingzhi."

Sophie suddenly uttered, causing everyone to look at her. Her brows still possessed a frown, as if that scene of Davis falling was still fresh in her mind.

"I may not be strong like you, and I lack the self-attained status or connections that could help Davis. I can only become stronger and do the same. If not, seek vengeance for him. If I don't do anything, I will inevitably become useless and restless. No, I already feel like that when you asked us if we have any leads. It's that we don't have, but we run out of them in this place. We can only look outwards, and for that, we must become stronger."

"You're right, but-"

Isabella worriedly nodded, but she was then interrupted by Sophie.

"I initially wanted to kill them all, but I was able to stop being hasty after seeing that Davis is still alive. Third sister, unlike us, only you can help Davis. In the meantime, we are still useless and could only afford to get stronger if we want to help you. We have no other choice."

"You two..." Isabella bit her lips, "Where do you intend to go? No place is safe..."

Sophie quivered, but she shook her head, "Even then, I must-"

"Third sister. I can take Sophie to the sealed lightning space where it is helpful for us to become stronger due to the abundant fire-attributed energy in a special location."

Niera raised her hand, causing their attention to spin to her.

"I mean, I want to stay with Davis, especially at this time, but if it means losing him in the end, then I want to get stronger like you and help him as soon as possible."

"It would take many years." Isabella appeared confused, "Do you all understand-"

"We know!!!"

Sophie shrieked as her body heavily trembled.

"If... if that time comes, it just means that I was useless till the end..."

Tears fell down Sophie's face before she quickly wiped it, a dark glint gleaming in her eyes.

"However, the only thing I can promise is that no longer how much time it takes, I'll kill all of them. Not a single member of their power can escape until I die..."

Hearing Sophie's voice that was filled with hatred, they all clenched their fists.

Some wanted to say that it was reckless, but they couldn't with everyone feeling the same as her.

"Niera, take care of Sophie from doing something foolish."

"Mhm, I will..."

Isabella and Niera communicated through soul transmission. However, Niera didn't seem good as she broke down crying silently. She so much wanted to be with Davis, but feeling useless made her vexed. After all that search, there was not a single viable method to cure Davis that showed up.

If that was the case, only Isabella was capable of doing something for Davis. As for them, they could only get stronger if they wanted to be useful.

In the end, after some talk, Isabella gave the Domitian Family's spatial rings to them. After Sophie and Niera left hastily, as if they feared that they would change their minds, only Evelynn, Natalya, Isabella, Fiora, and Mo Mingzhi were left in the pathway.

Nyoran's arrival had caused people to go their own way. They didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. However, it did end up causing a shadow in their hearts.

"Why is this happening? This isn't supposed to happen if I had just-"

"It's not your fault, third sister."

Evelynn cut Isabella short as she held her shoulder.

"No one blames you. Instead, they all think if they had been stronger like you, they could've helped him avoid this mess. In truth, I think the same. I feel as useless as everyone else thinks they are. I want to stay with Davis, but I must also get stronger. There's no other way around this, third sis..."

Evelynn took her hands as she clenched her fists and gnashed her teeth, turning to look at the Entombed Darkfall Wisp.

"Wee?"

"I assume you want to be with me and grow stronger?"

"Wee Wee!!!~"

The small black spider made squeaking sounds as it finally touched the back of her arm with one of its eight long legs, feeling that this woman finally understood it.

Evelynn couldn't understand why this powerful Darkness Elemental that could kill her with a single stab of its leg would want to be with her, but since it wanted to be with her, she would take advantage of it. She returned her gaze towards her third sister.

"Isabella, I'm sorry, but as Sophie and Niera said, only you can help Davis at this moment. We are useless as we can be. No, it's better to say that we are assured and can pursue vengeance in the form of strengthening ourselves because you are the one looking after Davis. Even if we die, you're still there for him."

"What...?" Isabella's expression was one of pain, "Don't say that..."

Evelynn shook her head, her bosoms heaving, "I know that you can become stronger than all of us in a few years, reaching the peak, but only you and Nadia can protect him now. It's up to us, who's probably not in the enemy's eyes or can stay under can train and get stronger so that we can seek revenge later."

"I'll stay here and look after Davis, perhaps occasionally train." Natalya voiced her opinion, "That's why third sis can do other things such as looking for methods to cure husband."

"I'll do the same! As much as I am unqualified to give any help, I can help take care of our beloved!~" Fiora also quipped in, looking teary-eyed as ever.

"You all..." Isabella sniffled as she lowered her head wiped her tears.

She felt the burden on her grew more like crazy, but she was more than willing to take their trust, feeling moved exceedingly. Determination shone in her eyes to make Davis recover, making her feel that she should spare no effort to cure him of his strange state.

No matter who stands in her way, she was going to destroy them with her overbearing fists!

"Sorry... I said some insensitive things earlier that led to this situation. It's just..."

Mo Mingzhi trembled when a hand grasped her shoulder. She raised her head and looked that it was none other than Isabella.

"We know. Everyone feels the same..."

Looking at Isabella's confident expression, Mo Mingzhi felt a burst of confidence herself. She recalled that this exceptional woman vetted and recommended her to Davis, causing her to thankfully smile.

"I'll stay with Davis for a while."

Isabella nodded at Mo Mingzhi with a rejoicing smile. She turned to look at Evelynn.

"Big sister, let me help you with that little spider."

"Alright, but for some reason, I feel that it wouldn't hurt me."

"Even then, let me."

"Yes, thank you."

Isabella and Evelynn nodded and went to another room while Natalya, Fiora, and Mo Mingzhi surrounded Davis, looking at him with hopeful smiles on their faces.

It was just not over yet.

In the other room, Evelynn took in the Entombed Darkfall Wisp with Isabella's help. She began interacting with it to gain more understanding, and through asking a lot of questions, it seemed that the Entombed Darkfall Wisp was at least intelligent for its age, capable of understanding her words even though it could not talk like Eldia.

After feeding it, she further noticed that the Entombed Darkfall Wisp particularly liked feeding on her soul force even though it was way more inferior in strength. But then, she suddenly noticed that her white soul force was actually tinged with a bit of darkness, making her feel aghast.

'What the...!?'

"What's wrong?"

Isabella noticed the change of expression on Evelynn's face, but then Evelynn relaxed and shook her head, indicating that it was nothing. Isabella could only take her word for it, but Evelynn remained dumbfounded.

Why was darkness flowing through her soul? This wasn't normal. She checked her soul and saw that her colorless soul essence was now swirling with darkness.

It made her feel terrified, but she couldn't sense any abnormalities or injuries, making her feel ridiculous.

Nevertheless, feeling that she had to become stronger, she welcomed such a change. Perhaps, this was why this strong Darkness Elemental took a liking to her. It helped her make sense of the situation.

Time passed.

Darkness swirled around Evelynn as though she had mastered it. It was her first acknowledgment of heaven and earth, its energy resonating with her to grant her Level One Intent of Darkness Laws.

Isabella looked at Evelynn with narrowed brows before she nodded.

'It's just like Davis said. Starcy, a Fire Essence, quickly took a liking to Sophie after being threatened while Starcy was still a newborn... In the same way, this newborn Darkness Elemental also took a liking to Evelynn for some reason I can't tell...'

Nevertheless, noticing that this strong Darkness Elemental wasn't going to injure Evelynn after this long, Isabella finally left and returned to Davis's side, looking at him with gentleness in her eyes.

Evelynn, on the other hand, had entered meditation fueled by vengeance.

Her heart was burning to kill at this moment, and perhaps attuning to that, her Darkness Laws increased like crazy in a few hours.

From nothing to Level Five Intent!

After that, the burst of comprehension from the Entombed Darkfall Wisp ran out, leaving her with nothing. However, she also felt her comprehension of Darkness Laws in Soul Forging Cultivation experience a tremendous increase, although she didn't know how to measure it.

'This is not enough...'

However, she knew this wasn't an addition to her prowess whatsoever as her poison was better and stronger than this but, she knew for a fact that her Darkness Laws could surpass her Poison Laws at this rate.

Was this due to the change in her soul?

Nevertheless, she still wasn't satisfied.

She took out a spatial ring and looked at it.

This particular spatial ring contained all the spatial rings from the Poison Lord Villa. There were so many resources that could help her grow to the Ninth Stage. However, time waits for none. Perhaps, that is also why the ladies didn't waste their time simply wallowing in grief. They all felt like they needed to do something to get rid of the itch in their hearts, and most of them chose to become stronger. She was no different, but this absolutely wasn't enough.

'Not even close!'

Biting her lips, Evelynn took out this strange jade bottle she hadn't deeply investigated before because she could feel the sinister aura coming from it. Isabella also had known about it but didn't touch it for a similar reason.

They absolutely could not risk it with Davis just beside them.

However, for all they knew, this might hold the answer to Davis's state or might even bring her doom.

Taking a deep breath, Evelynn's eyes shone full of life and death determination as she removed the cork on the bottle.

*Whiisss!~*

Black smoke appeared out of the green jade bottle, turning into an eight-legged spider with a purplish-obsidian body. There were two sinister eyes on its head and two sharp venomous fangs along with two rows of jagged teeth. However, another eye was also in its forehead, a vertical eye embedded inside with its pupils shining with a strange symbol.

"You are...?"

Evelynn felt her heart skip a beat as she looked at this monstrosity.
