Divine Emperor of Death

"Little sister, we have to cultivate our souls no matter what!" Lucas turned to look at Lucia, his gaze quite intense.

Lucia quickly nodded her head, awed by Davis's ability to obtain information about the opponents.

They were both awed by him. It wasn't even five minutes from the time they entered but he had already managed to locate all of the targets?

This was quite an amazing feat and they wanted to gain this ability as well but Soul Forging Cultivation was not easy as it seemed. They would have to ponder on the heaven and earth energy and make it resonate with their souls, resulting in an increase of their soul force.

But to this, they can make some progress since they had Soul Forging Cultivation Experts to teach them.

Sure, Energy Condensation Cultivation might make one sensitive to surrounding energy fluctuations, Body Tempering Cultivation might improve one's sense of awareness of the surroundings but Soul Forging Cultivation enables one to have Soul Sense, which is like a third eye.

Davis shook his head with a shallow smile as he knew that they had realized the importance of Soul Forging Cultivation.

"Lucia, It's better to concentrate on a single Cultivation System, making the other two supportive..." Lucas suddenly said his opinion.

Lucia frowned thinking of what future path she should take but Davis interrupted, "Watch out..."

Lucia and Lucas took out their weapons and looked at the Five-Clawed Rat behind them.

It looked like an ordinary rat, except for its five claws, razor-sharp teeth, and a long tail. It was at the size of an adult tiger.

It silently crouched behind them to sneak attack but it stopped as it saw them notice it before dashing at an incredible speed.

*Woosh!*

Jumping above slightly, it's five deadly claws aimed at Lucia's beautiful face.

"I got it!" Lucia shouted and twisted her nimble body slightly to the side and backed away.

It landed on the ground and hissed at her before glancing at Lucas.

Suddenly, it's body split into two as a slice of wind passed through its grey-colored body.

Davis turned to see Lucia point at the Five-Clawed Rat, 'Wind Type Cultivation, and she's attained High-Level Revolving Core Stage, not bad.'

Another two rats simultaneously showed up behind Lucia but before they could even close in on her, water condensed around them, imprisoning them.

The two rats flailed around but couldn't seem to be able to break the water prison they were in.

Lucas moved his palm upward and closed, causing the rats to cry out in pain.

This continued for a few moments before the rats twitched and bled from all of their holes.

'Water Type Cultivation and Peak Level Revolving Core Stage, only a single step before he reaches Body Transformation Stage...' Davis nodded his head. These two handled it nicely but...

"You guys missed one and it escaped to warn its brethren..."

"Huh!? When?" Both of their smug faces were destroyed as frustration filled their faces.

Davis pointed at a direction and laughed at them.

"It's fine, it'll help us kill more of its kind then!" Lucia rolled her eyes and replied in an annoyed tone.

"You're right..." Davis smiled and just nodded his head sagely, "Though leaving one rat to escape has its consequences..."

Lucia and Lucas had a confused expression on their faces.

So what if they let a single rat escape? Was it gonna bite them to death? Or so they thought.

Before long, they felt the ground sightly tremble before it increased in resonance, rocking the pieces of rubble around them.

"What is going on?!" Lucas has a doubtful expression on his face.

"They're coming..." Lucia muttered sternly, her expression became solemn.

Soon, without any suspense, they saw Five-Clawed Rats approaching them from the north direction.

Lucas and Lucia went pale!

They could at least see 100 Five-Clawed Rats surround them as their numbers continued to increase.

"Retreat!" Lucas shouted and moved back.

Even though he could react, it was already too late.

"All the other groups are being careful enough to not let their targets escape but you two did the opposite. Did you two think that this would happen?" Davis calmly stated before engaging the Five-Clawed Rats in battle.

Taking out his spear, he swept the rat tide away like they were toys.

Few of them got past but his swing and clawed at him but he didn't even flinch.

With his Silver Stage Body Cultivation, he didn't need to worry about being injured by these Five-Clawed Rats.

The majority of them were Earth Beast Stage Magical Beasts with few of them being Sky Beast Stage Magical Beasts which could at best put a scratch on his body.

On the other hand, Lucas and Lucia were only at the Copper Stage and Bronze Stage respectively. It made them impossible to fight against the rats equally without getting injured.

That said, they both were flying in the air, blasting them from above with their Wind and Water attribute techniques, turning them into bloody waste.

Davis pierced the spear into their heads while also using his Extinction Lightning to turn their brains into mush.

Before long, their number started dwindling considerably.

Noticing that they were on the losing end, an experienced five-clawed rat started to squeak with bloodshot eyes.

Suddenly, the five-clawed rats that were near them escaped without even turning to look back.

"Don't let them escape!" Lucas shouted, learning from his previous lesson.

He stretched both his palms and water condensed from thin air, blocking off the entire roadway with water barrier.

Davis narrowed his eyes because the water looked different... But he pushed the thought to the back of his mind and continued his killing spree, painting the roads in rat blood.

A Sky Beast Stage Five-Clawed Rat with bloodshot eyes snapped at him with its razor-sharp claws but it failed to do any damage to his defense.

The next moment, he sent its head flying like a kite cut from its strings while blood splashed from its neck like a fountain.

"The last kill is mine!" Lucia shouted with a happy face, totally different from the pale expression she exhibited before.
