Divine Emperor of Death

"Dark Yin Devouring Spear."

Haijin Minn shouted out loud that it resounded in Davis's eardrums, but there was no spear other than the young man's 'spear', much less a woman to devour yin.

Instead, all he saw was a silver-haired young man who had his head on the pillow and winced his butt above as his body bent, seemingly holding his crotch with both hands before rolling around the huge bed in pain as his face contorted.

"…"

Davis was initially confused, but it didn't take him long to find out that Haijin Minn was suffering the backlash of activating the technique because there was no yin to be found.

Haijin Minn's eyes further became bloodshot, and blood seemed to be pouring out of his lips, but like a little toad, his eyes were wide while he sucked them all inside into his throat, drinking his blood that had gone bad from being injured.

Only after some time did he regain his wits, seemingly becoming normal.

Instantly, he turned around and waved his hand. A handful of silvery ash fell on the bed, causing him to heave a sigh of relief.

However, Davis had his eyes narrowed.

'That's… those ashes have the aura of that blue-haired woman...'

*Creak!~*

The door to the master room opened, and the silver-haired immortal woman called Chloe entered. She went straight to Haijin Minn's location and stood beside the bed, bowing her head as her eyes roamed the bed as her gaze fell on the stained sheets and the silver ashes before she opened her mouth.

"Young master, what shall I report to the old master?"

"Tell father that I failed to break through again. This technique and the women those trash bandits bring are both useless."

Haijin Minn's voice was cold, causing the immortal woman to shiver.

"Young master, can you bestow this slave the chance to comfort you?"

"Scram. Tell everyone not to disturb my cultivation with more poor-quality cauldrons! I'm sick of it!"

"Yes…! At once~"

Chloe instantly left the master room in a hurry while Haijin Minn, who was in a lotus-style cultivation pose, opened his eyes, turning his head to look at the closed door with a sorrowful gaze.

"Chloe…"

He sighed, seemingly shaking his head before turning around but what he saw left him stunned for a moment.

"Wh-!"

Just as he reacted, he lost consciousness as his head fell flat, hanging above his neck.

Over his forehead was Davis's finger that was pulled back slowly.

'What high defenses...'

However, Davis was astonished by this immortal child. His soul sea was like a fortified fort built around the sun, managing to quell his death energy a bit, resulting in the delay of Haijin Minn almost screaming out.

But still, as expected of a Greater Law. Yang Laws were not underestimated, and since Death Laws were mostly yin in nature as far as he has seen, Yang Laws seem to be capable of withstanding Death Laws somewhat, but only a little as he hadn't seen much evidence.

Nonetheless, surveying the scene, Davis couldn't help but feel nauseous that he held his breath.

Not only was the odor of dual cultivation remains, but there was also the vile aura of the Dark Yin Devouring Spear lingering on the bed.

What kind of sinister technique was this Dark Yin Devouring Spear to make the woman that it was preying upon turn into ashes and not into a withered state like he would have initially guessed for a technique of that nature?

'Perhaps, Drake would know more about it...'

Davis was interested in how to counter such a technique so that his women and children, especially Eterna and Celestia, come to know of them for their own safety.

He unceremoniously swiped the Life Ring off of Haijin Minn and his soul sense penetrated through, just like entering a spatial ring but instead of being welcomed into a dark space with objects that you know would exist, he encountered a vast plain a few hundred kilometers below him.

Looking around with his sense, he saw that the world was lit by artificial sunlight, perhaps a formation imbued inside the Life Ring. Still, as he saw the palaces floating above the surface, he was dumbfounded,

'One, two, three… seventy-six… eight-three?'

Davis counted, not the floating palaces. There were just five such floating palaces, but he spotted eighty-three women, most of them appearing to have gathered at the platform of a crimson palace, around a certain blue-haired woman who had just disappeared from the real world.

Five of those women were currently crouched around a blue-haired woman whose figure was covered by a sheet. They all had their hands extended, releasing light energy as they appeared to be healing that blue-haired woman's severed arm.

'Is that where the ashes are from?'

Davis wondered if the blue-haired woman's severed arm was what turned into silvery ash on the bed. It was her burned remains.

He gave a quick glance around the other women and saw that these people were relatively calm but also noticed that they were all holding their left arm in unison as though they had all experienced this once before.

Taking his gaze off the Life Ring, Davis raised his head and looked at Haijin Minn while invoking the colorless thread in his soul sea.

At the same time, a flame of bright red aura erupted over Haijin Minn, extending to the ceiling as it almost collided.

'Twenty-eight-meter tall second tier karmic sin...'

Davis's eyes narrowed further.

Lowering his head, Davis checked Haijin Minn's face once again. When he took a closer look at this sixteen-year-old, he saw that the baby fat still hadn't left this young man and yet, managed to violate eighty-three women in four years.

With the pieces of evidence he gathered so far, Davis managed to come to the speculation that not only was this child abuse committed by the Minn Family, this was basically self-sabotage enacted by Haijin Minn.

Haijin Minn didn't seem to have devoured his victims using the Dark Yin Devouring Spear but let them live inside a Life Ring somehow, and in turn, his cultivation remained stuck, unable to enter the Immortal Stage despite being a born-immortal who entered the age of sixteen.

'An incomplete Pure Yang Body Physique, huh...'

Davis knew that physiques were a great boost, but they were also a lock, leaving people unable to exceed beyond a certain point unless they increased the grade of that particular physique. It was like a bloodline limitation for humans.

Drake Blackburn also regularly encountered this before he increased the level of his physique grade by grade.

That's why Haijin Minn was unable to enter the Immortal Stage despite being born an immortal.

Still, Davis's expression couldn't help but possess a heavy frown.

All he asked was some wicked people to kill, even going as far as choosing targets that only fit a minor bracket of people, and yet, he had to meet with someone whose karmic sin was forced upon him by circumstances and not earned, like Nightveil.

'Fuck…!'

Davis's expression contorted as he raised his hand and shaped them into a dragon claw. Without hesitation, his hand sliced through the air in an arc.

However, there was no shower of blood or a severed head lobbing in an arc but just the twenty-eight-meter-tall bright red karmic sin having entered his soul sea, assimilating into Fallen Heaven's concealed body.
