Divine Emperor of Death

In the end, Davis spent a few intimate hours with Evelynn, leaving her considerably satisfied. He held her naked, milky white body wrapped around his arms as he planted kisses on her sensual spots, making her shiver ever so lightly in their cuddling session.

"I love you~" 

It was unknown how many times Evelynn said this in these few hours. She had her hands on his shoulder, her sexy purple eyes looking at him with tenderness and love.

"I love you too."

Davis nodded and planted a kiss on her cheek.

Evelynn satisfactorily smiled before she moved her lips.

"Aren't you going to see them yet?"

"Evelynn, it's not like I'm dragging this out. You know me."

Davis tapped the tip of her nose, causing her to pout.

"It is precisely because I know that you that I'm asking you to spend time with them. Since you reached the Emperor Soul Stage, there's no need to hold back, right? I'm also strong enough to protect you all. If need be, I'm willing to use my wicked name to keep them off-"

"No need." Davis shook his head, "I will meet them. I just have to get the Stargaze Soul Radiance Tree Fruits to mature and make pills from that. Not only would it aid me in increasing my comprehension of the Emperor Soul Stage, but those few pills will also help your fellow sisters improve their Soul Forging Cultivation. Once I finish the pills, I'll send my avatar to them, making them increase their Soul Forging Cultivation. Even now, I bet they're diligently cultivating with the pills I gave them, awaiting my return. Therefore, when I come back, I will have more time to spend with them."

Evelynn thought for a few moments before she nodded her head, "I understand. But I feel sorry for taking your precious time."

"Don't be."

Davis smirked as he kissed her lips, biting her lower lips as he spoke using soul transmission.

"You're the best reward I could've obtained after entering the Emperor Soul Stage, wifey. I'm extremely satisfied."

Evelynn's gaze was feverish as she gazed at him. She reached out and took his lips, kissing one last time, sharing their passion deeply before they stood up, dressing after cleaning themselves up.

Davis then went out and arrived before the Stargaze Soul Radiance Tree and began nurturing it with his life energy. Of course, he used Fallen Heaven's energy, which seemed to have increased a few levels, bordering on the sixth level of the ninth stage, meaning that he could take out a Soul Emperor even if that Soul Emperor possessed a King Sigil without having to sacrifice his soul essence.

Then why did he need to delay meeting his women? 

Because his focus wasn't on the Four Great Righteous Sect but something every peak power was preparing for, the Calamity Light. After breaking through, there was a slight buffer that he would have to while away to not have a loose foundation, and he felt that he could use that to spend time with his wives.

In his mind, there was less time to spend, so carefully using his time like this was a win-win situation for not only him but also his women, who will get stronger with the resources he sent.

Soon, with the other resources energizing the Stargaze Soul Radiance Tree, he managed to nurture the fruits within half a day, bringing them to a mature level. However, none of them possessed a spirit, making Davis wonder if Fallen Heaven's life energy didn't work properly before he recalled what was known as an essence seed, something a plethora of trees would produce before they die.

Certainly, it could be in the last fruit as well since not all trees were not the same. Therefore, the viridian fruit he possessed and nurtured into the viridian fruit tree can be said to be an essence seed, which had more chances to grow into a new tree and successfully mature.

Nevertheless, Fallen Heaven's life energy was such that he felt that it would still be able to forcefully nurture a spirit. However, if it did not happen, it made Davis think that due to this Stargaze Soul Radiance Tree possessing a soul, a conscience, it did not let the fruits that were going to be eaten possess a spirit.

'How wise and merciful...'

Davis couldn't help but inwardly thank the tree, sparing him the need of having to pity. He took the twelve fruits with his soul force and put them each into his jade containers but kept one out in his hand. Turning around, he saw Yotan standing, but she bowed down as soon as he gazed at her.

'I'd like her to stop doing that, but she'd mistake that for concern and affection...'

Davis thought before he sent the fruit flying towards her.

Yotan was taken aback before she hurriedly captured the incoming object before she looked taken aback. She didn't expect to get this fruit that any Soul King would crave so soon, making her stunned for a moment before she knelt down.

"This slave is honored."

Davis's brows lightly twitched, but he kept his appearance.

"As I said, you can keep it. However, if you want a Stargaze-Risen Emperor Radiance Pill out of that fruit to have better chances at entering the Emperor Soul Stage, then work hard to make me more impressed. How is it going to be? Do you want the fruit or the pill made from it?"

Yotan's jaws dropped.

Was her master willing to make her a Stargaze-Risen Emperor Radiance Pill?

She deeply hesitated, wondering if she could be daring before she tremblingly nodded her head.

"I... want the pill."

"Very well. Give the fruit back to me."

Yotan didn't send the fruit flying but came closer to him and respectfully bowed as she gave him the fruit. Davis took it from her hands, storing it in his spatial ring after sealing it in a jade container, but he suddenly held her hand, causing her to freeze in place.

"Unless you wronged me, there's no need to be afraid."

Saying so, Davis let her hands go as he left the garden yard, leaving a dumbfounded Yotan staring at the empty space with glazed and confused eyes but then, she suddenly noticed a word in her palm that said.

[Relax]

Yotan's mouth went agape as she noticed the marking carved by Davis's soul force and blushed, her cheeks taking on a healthy crimson hue that said that she became deeply embarrassed.

Moreover, she could feel that its energy was even more powerful than before, practically inside the Emperor Soul Stage. Such a finding caused her mind to tremble in doubt, making her wonder if the Emperor of Death truly entered the Emperor Soul Stage!

Nevertheless, his gesture made her feel fairly relieved inside once again, removing even the misgivings she had in her heart.

As expected, she felt like she could leave the Soul Palace to this man and devote herself to serving him until...

'... until...? until what?'

Yotan suddenly felt lost, not knowing what the future held for her.

Will she remain a slave, or will she be pardoned for her devotion?

On the other hand, Davis returned to the palace tower and met up with Evelynn, giving her a hot passionate kiss before he sat down on the cleaned blue lotus cushion and took out a low-quality Peak-Level Emperor Grade Cauldron belonging to Soul Emperor Zealwonder.

"You-"

*Bang!~*

With a single wave of his hand, death energy surged and erased the cauldron spirit before it could even begin to panic. He showed no mercy to this loyal that stayed loyal to its master before he began to concoct pills in its body.

He had already obtained the required pill ingredients through Soul Emperor Elusivemist. Therefore, he was prepared.

Two days later, he kept the spiritless cauldron inside after several rounds of pill concoction, creating many Stargaze-Risen Emperor Radiance Pills, Stargaze King Radiance Pills, and Supreme Stargaze Radiance Pills.

At this moment, his avatar entered, taking the wanted pills, and set off to the Grand Alstreim City.

Davis then began to care about swallowing the Stargaze-Risen Emperor Radiance Pill, an Advanced-Tier one at that. His concoction took a few tries before he understood the intricacies and made a pill like this but nevertheless, he looked into his soul sea and wondered what to do about these comprehension clouds.

Refining Soul Emperor Zealwonder's Soul Essence allowed him to obtain numerous comprehension clouds. There was one for Light Laws, and there was another one for Wind Laws. Both of them were well over the level of Abstruse Intent that Davis smirked in joy, once again feeling that killing Soul Emperor Zealwonder instead of making him a slave had been the best decision he made over targeting the Soul Palace. 

There were other comprehension clouds, but they were so minuscule that they might as not well exist, so he was wondering what to do before deciding to digest Light Laws while leaving Wind Laws for Fiora later.

Now, he took the Advanced-Tier Stargaze-Risen Emperor Radiance Pill he refined and popped it into his mouth. The pill essence instantly dissolved in his throat as if it was made of a mellowy matter before the essence went straight towards his soul sea using the meridian pathways.

Comprehensions that were once unable to be understood by him as he reached his limit descended once again, this time, more identifiable and more perceivable despite its obscurity.. While he could finally understand the charm of Stargaze-Risen Emperor Radiance Pill, he didn't delay comprehending the mysteries of the soul while resonating the soul with heaven and earth, constantly raising his stalled comprehension.
