Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2215: Looming Crisis

Davis appeared speechless while Myria turned around, looking to leave as the situation was getting more and more precarious.

"No, hear me out first." He quickly opened his mouth.

"What?" Myria swiveled her head, appearing annoyed, "You better not waste my time nor yours as even a second is important now."

Davis slightly heaved a breath, knowing that with immortals pouring in one by one, they didn't know how many possibly posed a threat and how many posed a sense of security. First of all, he couldn't even tell their intentions to carry their legs to this desolate land, so he definitely didn't think that they were here just to sightsee.

He was still immensely suspicious of them. Therefore, he could not leave the Alstreim Family but had no choice but to do so or risk the destruction of the Burning Phoenix Ridge. Moreover, Lea's soul body was at the Burning Phoenix Ridge as she was still more or less the Sect Master. If he didn't go, the least she would become disappointed and disheartened.

Opening his mouth, he worded out clearly, "I want you to protect Eterna and Celestia."

"…"

"I have no one else to ask but you..." Davis's voice contained a hint of pleading, causing Myria to shiver ever so lightly.

"Shameless person! Send your entire Reaper Soul Legion to protect the Mystic Ice Sect."

"Will do…! We have a deal!"

Myria clenched her fist as she angrily voiced out while Davis relievedly smiled and shot into the distance, taking up a messaging talisman to contact Yotan and the others personally.

The Reaper Soul Legion wasted no time heading towards the Mystic Ice Sect, abandoning their posts altogether, except Threelotus, whom he asked to exit the Distorted Skies of Yonder and get the help of the Heaven Mandate Temple and the Heaven Gazing Sect.

After all, if the two immortals who entered the Heaven Mandate Temple belonged to it, then they are obligated to help when a righteous path sect is in danger.

However, he was also worried that those two immortals might use this opportunity to do something against him despite the Mandate Emperor and Karmic Guardian Emperor's will, or perhaps, they themselves might do something about him as they might now have backing of their own.

Nevertheless, Davis also instructed Evelynn, telling her not to obstruct Myria but still have an eye on her.

Myria shot a look towards Ancestor Dian Alstreim, causing him to tremble ever so lightly.

To him, this woman was as monstrous as Davis as he slightly glanced at the continuously raving immortal. The very sight of her manhandling a man with a depleting immortal aura shook him to his very core, making him think how Davis could have faced someone like her back in the competition.

Moreover, he still didn't know what kind of energy she used, but Davis seemed to trust her, at least, trust her strength, so he decided to place half the trust he placed in Davis on her.

Nonetheless, Myria took her gaze off of Ancestor Dian Alstreim as her bosoms heaved, seemingly having calmed down.

'You follow me into the hidden spatial gate I found, and to boot, with all your women like you're going on a family trip and now ask me to protect your children? How shameless are you going to be!?'

With their main bodies not arriving back home, she knew this would be the case. Otherwise, she couldn't see them leaving their children alone even if they were helpless.

However, her feet moved as she traversed to the Mortal Hex Emperor Purple Palace, arriving in its airspace. Linking her hands together, her soul force surged as she began setting up a defensive spirit formation, one that would obstruct Level One Immortals without a problem and even cause Level Two Immortals to struggle.

Davis shot towards the Burning Phoenix Ridge with immense speed as he opened a spatial tunnel and arrived at the edge, breaking through the dark fog before continuing on.

He wasn't worried much about leaving Myria in his home as she was already present for a while, occasionally visiting his herb garden to take some resources without his permission, but she did replace them with her own herbs, adding more to his collection, some even rare and exotic, so he didn't complain.

Nonetheless, even in his wildest dreams, he couldn't see Myria taking children as hostages. Perhaps, she could. However, with her character, he just couldn't see it coming, especially for his children, whom Ellia loved immensely. Even if it were not for him, he was convinced that she wouldn't offend Ellia.

Although he knew that Ellia couldn't take over the soul body, he also knew that she was still inside. Moreover, when it comes to defending using soul body, he felt that Myria was way stronger than him at the moment because of her prowess that crossed seven levels.

However, Davis knew that wasn't the only disadvantage as the immortals could be secretly after her since they did invade after the Calamity Light's second activity. He didn't deny that possibility, but she was a soul body. What could those immortals possibly do with her soul body?

'Perhaps, that's why Founder Alstreim Windstorm didn't react and even left as though saving the Burning Phoenix Ridge...' He even speculated.

The only visible disadvantage was that Myria should not run out of soul force or risk disappearing.

Still, flying around here and there like he was sent tumbling by dangers popping almost everywhere made him feel frustrated to not have the main body here at the moment. If not, he would be assured of being able to protect the Alstreim Family as a whole at the very least. If not, easily manhandle those immortals appearing one by one.

Soon, he appeared in Burning Phoenix Ridge's Territory, instantly sensing immortal undulations clashing even from far away that he speculated the battle was happening at the edge of the southeast, to the south of the Burning Phoenix Ridge.

*Rip!~*

He directly opened an unstable spatial tunnel again, not bothering about the dangers of getting lost in the void as the instability to collapse is likely when someone tampers or destroys the channel he created.

Within a second, he rushed out of the other end and witnessed storms and a bloody atmosphere filling the skies, making it nothing short of an apocalyptic sight as one side was bloody and the other stormy with hundreds of tornadoes.

The landscape changed with each movement of the massive amounts of immortal energy clashing, causing even the mountains beside to be sundered.

*Boom!~*

A four hundred-meter crimson spear made out of blood energy struck a five thousand-meter tall cyan tornado, causing it to explode into a tempest.

Thousands of wind blades flashed outwardly upon the implosion, slashing apart mountains and seas alike as they left deep gashes in the outskirts. Even the Burning Phoenix Ridge that appeared to be at a safe distance was badly hit.

The heavy breeze billowing into the horizon caused Davis's body to be flung away like a kite that had its strings while the spatial tunnel he had opened collapsed, causing him immense disbelief because their prowess was actually way higher than expected!
