Chapter 2008: Clash Of Life And Death
Myria's right hand held the heralding of death while her left hand held the beginning of life. Life and death energy surged with intensity as they began to swirl in her palms, encumbering a type of aura never seen before. With a clasp of her hands, that aura suddenly changed. An iridescent hue of black and white energy surged out from her palms, reflecting a myriad of colors.
Davis's eyes shut into two tiny slits as he saw this scene, feeling a massive chill creeping on his spine, and that feeling only surged when he heard Myria's next sentence.
"I'll show you what happens when one combines- no, fuse Death Laws and Life Laws."
A bolt of strangeness struck Davis, causing him to fly like a kite that had its strings cut. He spat a mouthful of blood, sent flying for a few kilometers before regaining balance, looking at Myria with wide and shocked eyes.
A pure white light began to envelop Davis as he wiped his lips.
Just now, he almost felt like his soul had left his body, jolted out of this world. If he didn't defend himself with Fallen Heaven's life energy, perhaps, he might've lost consciousness from this strange attack, which he found terrific than Death Laws.
Nonetheless, there was a blatant smile on his face. He kept his eyes wide, wanting to take in everything he saw and sensed, "What is the fusion between Death Laws and Life Laws called?"
"Reincarnation Laws~"
Myria's voice was somber as she floated towards Davis.
If it were not for this accursed Eternal Life Soul Physique, perhaps she would never be reborn again and again. Her mood fell, becoming extremely chaotic because just when she thought that things were finally somewhat turning in her favor, fate arranged such an ironic twist in this life.
Why does it have to be someone loved by her daughter?
Myria's figure became bubbled in that iridescent hue as reincarnation energy surged forth. It was as though she was covered by the translucent and iridescent hue of soap, except the colors intertwining were mostly black and white while the other colors were vague, although they did exist.
Her reincarnation energy appeared otherworldly, practically topping his worldview. However, her figure was even more dazzling, practically making his heart shake. At this moment, there was no woman who could match her beauty or bearing.
"Hehe…"
Davis couldn't help but laugh.
Who would've thought that the one who could threaten his life was Myria? He was expecting the theorized master of this world or some other existence from the Calamity Light to appear and take his life, but there was another existence capable of that.
"I won't lie. I underestimated you a bit and-"
Davis continued when his expression abruptly fell. Myria disappeared, causing him to fiercely turn and attack in a direction. Death energy surged out of his palm in massive amounts, flooding Myria in dreadful death energy. Despite using Fallen Heaven to the fullest, he was unable to push her back. Myria walked through his deathly sea of energy, appearing closer and closer before reaching out her hand like an otherworldly entity plucking a star.
Her threatening pose made his heart skip a beat as it seemed like she wanted to extract something.
Feeling threatened of having Fallen Heaven robbed than having his life taken away, Davis erupted with killing intent. His pitch-black eyes became fiendish red as death energy and life energy rushed out together.
Their combination resulted in a massive spatial storm engulfing them that Davis had no idea if they were still in the real world or not, but he didn't care about such things at this moment. Fallen Heaven's life and death energy was unleashed in full force, the energies forming a barrier around him as they blocked Myria.
Myria's eyes flashed with a dreadful gleam. Her hand that was about to take turned into a sword as she struck down, directly collapsing his barrier made up of life and death combined. Her action instantly opened a pathway to him, but Davis was even faster, creating a barrier made up of life and death energy again.
*Shk!~*
It was unceremoniously sliced open, unable to withstand Myria's reincarnation energy.
However, Davis didn't give up. His eyes were wide, almost bulging out of his sockets. His concentration wasn't on defending but on something else. His eyes stuck to Myria as though he couldn't get enough of her.
Slowly yet surely, Myria arrived in front of him after destroying tens of basic barriers made up of Fallen Heaven's life and death energy, reaching out her hand again.
At this moment, Davis's shut down his eyes, blood seeping out in copious amounts. However, his lips turned into a wide smirk the same time his life and death energy began turning iridescent, causing Myria to freeze for a moment, but then her expression became frigid as she directly struck Davis.
However, it was too late.
*Bang!~*
Myria was sent flying like a kilometer away before she regained her balance. When she quickly caught Davis's figure, she saw that she was overflowing with the same kind of energy that she was currently using.
"Ahaha! Thank you for showing me the way!"
Davis threw his head above and laughed out loud. Although he had his eyes closed, he could feel a new power coursing through his body and soul, making him feel wondrous and otherworldly.
He had gained control over Reincarnation Laws!
However, Davis didn't let this quickly get to his head. His laughing figure was a ruse. It disappeared when he instantly arrived before Myria, gathering iridescent black and white reincarnation energy in both of his palms as he struck Myria.
Myria seemed to have discerned this move of his, and although her gaze was full of shock, she kept it hidden within her icy demeanor. She instantly defended against his attack, forming a shield of reincarnation energy that tried to push through his attack.
However, contrary to her expectation, her shield quickly collapsed upon contact, causing her to be sent flying again!
Davis didn't waste a moment and chased her like a dragon hunting a phoenix! His aura had undergone a complete change with the iridescent black and white energy covering his body, causing his prowess to rise to the peak of four levels higher than Peak-Level Ninth Stage!
He always knew that Fallen Heaven's entry into the Ninth Stage had warranted a massive change in its abilities. One of them was in its ability to allow him to view something that didn't even happen in his life. If he could connect that to an ability of Karmic Laws, then what was the increase in Death Laws and Life Laws? He had a vague idea, but he wasn't willing to try, knowing that it could possibly end in his death.
According to Myria, a fusion of Death Laws and Life Laws was something even more dangerous than fusing fire and ice. He had vaguely felt that one misstep and he would be gone forever, but with Myria unexpectedly performing such fusion in front of him, his confidence shot up the roof, allowing him to give it a try, and as expected, Fallen Heaven didn't disappoint him.
As soon as he combined the black tendril and white tendril, following the essence of a similar method Myria used in front of him, the resulting fusion caused it to experience a qualitative change!
*Bang!~*
Davis repeatedly kept suppressing Myria as the strand of black tinged with white kept erupting from his body without stopping. His usage of Reincarnation Laws was completely basic, while Myria's was concise, concentrated, and skillful. However, due to the difference in prowess as Fallen Heaven's was higher, Davis and Myria were equally matched, but her rate of fusing life and death energy could not compare to Fallen Heaven's quick rate of fusion, essentially pushing her into a disadvantage.
Myria's expression kept alternating into one of disbelief and one of outrage. She couldn't believe that she was losing at this moment. Biting her lips, she directly burned her soul essence, causing a stinging pain to emerge in her soul sea.
Davis, who noticed the sudden spike in Myria's prowess, did the same. He directly burned twenty percent of his soul essence, feeding his soul force that was subsequently enhanced by Fallen Heaven's tendrils of life and death.
His soul force kept churning out in greater amounts, turning into reincarnation energy as they still kept Myria at bay. She was unable to harm him, but she was constantly losing ground to him, becoming cornered with each move.
Myria thought of using one of her Reincarnation Law techniques, but at this moment, her soul force had already dropped below reserve levels. She could not afford to make a mistake, or her life would be in utter danger. Moreover, Davis was not giving her ample time to form a technique, repeatedly bombarding her like a lunatic.
Knowing that she could no longer hold back her trump card, Myria's eyes shone in a black and white hue.
*Rumble!~*
Myria's soul force's prowess abruptly increased. The laws surrounding the world thundered as though they were angry, rejecting her existence.
At this moment, Davis's eyes were wide as he saw that she activated her Supreme Immortal Sigil, directly increasing her prowess by a level for a short period of time.
Maybe that period was shortened by the laws of this world thundering like crazy as they suppressed Myria, who had crossed five levels above Peak-Level Ninth Stage, but he didn't have time to stay alive if this kept up even for a few more seconds.
