Divine Emperor of Death

Davis's hand shot forwards as he grabbed the spirit's fiery wrist with ease. However, it phased through his hold, causing his eyes to narrow. However, he didn't retreat but burst out with his own flames.

His body ignited with dark crimson flames, brilliant and radiant than the spirit's own crimson flames as it engulfed the fiery spirit and his flames.

"Yiaahhh!!!~"

Painful screams echoed from the fiery spirit as he was subjected to being burned alive. His fiery flesh began to show signs of becoming black, charred from Davis's dark crimson flames overwhelming him. Despite the killing intent the fiery spirit revealed against Davis, his biological imperative screamed for him to retreat, which he instantly did, but then, a hand suddenly grabbed his wrist, causing him to be unable to retreat.

"Ahh!! Bastard!!! Let me go!!!"

The spirit screamed out in pain as he couldn't believe he was being burned alive by a mere human.

The term Renegade Human Shelter came to his mind before all thoughts eventually ceased. His fleshly body was turned to ash by the human before his spirit core was also plundered.

At this moment, Iesha appeared before the dozens of Spirit Supremes in the distance, making them feel stupefied and solemn before their cultivation base that they didn't expect. At the same time, two of them rapidly retreated, appearing like they were going to warn their superiors.

Davis narrowed his eyes, wanting to kill them so that the information wouldn't spread, but then, a strange gleam flashed past his eyes.

'I came here to look for trouble, didn't I...?'

His targets this time were evildoers who committed plenty of wrongs and earned karmic sins. However, if other people came looking for trouble with hostile intent, why should he be the good guy and remain understanding of their misunderstanding?

He didn't see any reason to be merciful today.

Nevertheless, knowing that Iesha could take care of them with her power, he didn't move. However, he suddenly saw Natalya flying towards them, causing him to blink.

"Ah, Second Palace Mistress...! Don't leave the- "

"It's fine."

Yotan barred Natalya's path, but Davis spoke, causing her to look at him with confusion.

Didn't he want her to protect them? How can she protect them if they can't stay in line?

As expected, this task the Palace Master gave her wouldn't be as easy as she thought, causing her to renew her thoughts to do her best again.

Natalya shot a sweet smile at Davis before she continued to move towards Iesha. By this time, the space over there was already encased in an icy world sphere that surrounded a twenty-kilometer radius, trapping the spirits from leaving, including the two who tried to escape.

"A Frigid Ice World Spirit... What is an imperial family woman doing here with a bunch of humans?"

One of the fiery spirits from the group of ten asked with his eyes narrowed. He appeared to be fairly strong, his flaming eyebrows breathing flames towards the sides.

"A lowly fiery spirit that isn't even a Purgatory Inferno Flame Spirit dares to humiliate me? You fire spirits are courting death!"

Iesha didn't reply to their question but looked enraged. She waved her hand, and an icy air swept towards them before it turned into a huge chunk of ice, smashing towards them with an overbearing force.

The fiery spirit who spoke harrumphed in displeasure as he joined both his hands together. His palm instantly turned into a flaming sword as he raised his hand up and struck down. The other fiery spirits also took a similar pose as they appeared towards the sides of their prince while their palms reached out to the huge chunk of ice.

*Bang!~*

The fiery sword from the Peak-Level Spirit Supreme struck down and cleaved the huge chunk of ice, shattering it into two halves when many swirls of intense flaming tornado currents tried to burn the two cleaved chunks. However, the cleaved chunks of ice still had a bit of its power remaining as it struck them all.

"Ahh!"

Their fiery attacks were broken as they were sent flying. However, two hands reached out to the chunks of ice and touched when suddenly flames erupted from within those chunks of ice, melting them down.

"To have a prowess that allows you to near my prowess in Ninth Stage, you're not an ordinary Crimson Fistflame Spirit, are you?"

Iesha narrowed her eyes, looking at the man who was engulfed in flames as he destroyed her attack.

"Ahaha! So what if you are a Frigid Ice World Spirit at the Spirit Ancestor Stage? You're still looking for death as you dared to attack me, the great prince of the Crimson Fistflame Spirit Tribe in the center of the holy land of fire spirits! As for the repercussions, the Inferno Spirit Chamber will protect us and go to war with the Frigid World Empire if that's what you want, unless...!"

The prince of the Crimson Fistflame Spirit grinned at Iesha with lustful eyes. If he could obtain her, not mentioning the benefits of obtaining her yin would have for his yang, just the achievement of screwing a Frigid Ice World Spirit woman alone would cement his status as the great prince of the Crimson Fistflame Spirit Tribe.

Iesha narrowed her eyes when suddenly a wave of ice shards shot past her, striking the prince of the Crimson Fistflame Spirit Tribe.

*Bang!~*

However, he merely waved his hand, and a wave of fiery crimson flames erupted as it destroyed the ice shards, making them implode from the rapid combustion.

"You might want to shut your mouth if you know what's better for you, firehead."

Natalya appeared beside Iesha and narrowed her eyes at the Crimson Fistflame Spirit Prince. She wanted to fight, but with him letting his mouth run in an awful direction, Davis might step in, leaving her with nothing to train with.

"A human woman? Now what? A Frigid Ice World Spirit is now mingling with a human slave as though she is equal? Oh, how the Frigid Ice World Spirit Empire has fallen after getting bested by a mere human. It makes me wonder if the rumor that the Frigid Ice World Spirit Emperor intentionally lost to that human is true. Never mind, as a human woman, you look beautiful than the most female slaves I have, so I'll take you too."

Natalya clenched her teeth as she cast a look back. Looking at Davis still appear calm, she heaved a sigh of relief before turning to look back at the Crimson Fistflame Spirit Prince.

"Natalya, the fire spirits are mostly hostile to humans and spirits like me, inclining towards yin elements." Iesha's voice suddenly resounded in her head, "Although I hate being near them, they don't deserve to die just because of that. However, to be blatantly lusting after us, we should kill them to make their tribe learn a lesson to never target innocent spirits and humans again."

"I agree."

Natalya coldly uttered back using the connection they possessed with the Prismatic Intramural Spirit Pact.

Both of their palms emitted an icy air as they stayed side by side.

The Crimson Fistflame Spirit Prince's eyes went wide as he couldn't help but feel moved by their elegance, wanting to taste them together. However, to have them, he knew that it was impossible unless his elders arrived.

He took a step forward and took a defensive stance while his lackeys at the High-Level and Peak-Level Spirit Supreme Stage regained themselves from the attack that sent them flying and appeared in front of him to back him up acting as his shield with their own lives.

Although they couldn't warn their elders in time, they should still pick on the tremors created from their battle. Ice energy was especially glaring to them in this hot and searing environment, so he knew they would be here soon.

A few kilometers away to the back, Davis looked at the fight that was about to ensue before he turned to look below.

"Niera..."

He looked at Niera, causing her to blink.

"Yes?"

"The Crimson Fistflame Wisp is a Flame Essence that's ranked twenty-third in the Emperor Grade Flame Essence Charts. Its appearance is mostly that of a fist, and hence the simple name, but they possess the immensely sought out destructive property of flames a lot more than ordinary flames."

He waved his hand, and two tiny items fell into Niera's hands, causing her to look at it.

"Here, absorb these two spirit cores and later tell us how much it increased your Soul Forging Cultivation. Don't worry about any change in your flames because the Golden Crow Flames are in the same branch as the destructive sea of Fire Laws, but in this case, since it doesn't affect your Essence Gathering Law Comprehension, it would have no effect on the path you wish to walk but give you a better advantage."

Niera's gaze shook as she felt good to be pampered. She nodded her head, inwardly thanking him before she sat down on the spot and began to absorb the spirit cores that were full of eighth stage soul energy, matching Peak-Level King Soul Stage soul force in terms of human cultivation.

"Yotan and Bylai, protect Niera and the others." Davis commanded, "Zestria, make sure to hunt down any Crimson Fistflame Spirits who tries to intervene or escape and show them that their flames are nothing in front of your Fire Dragon Flames."

"Yes...!"

Yotan and Bylai answered with vigor, but Zestria bellowed and rushed out with excitement visible on her face as she headed towards the icy world created by Iesha.

The time to prove her prowess to him and be useful had finally come to her!
