Divine Emperor of Death

Nadia didn't know why she tried to do that but was able to tell that it was just an impulse that suddenly took over her. She calmed down a few seconds later and looked at the Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn suddenly stop.

She narrowed her eyes, wondering why it would cease to move this soon when it should still be searching for an exit, but the next moment, a flash of green light emerged from its rotten head. Energy overflowed from it, making her gasp in wonder.

'It's near a breakthrough...' Nadia could feel it.

This feeling where heaven and earth energy congregated around a living being during a breakthrough was familiar as if it were a raw feeling to them magical beasts.

"Good! It has started to digest the third Poison Essence!" Davis forgot about the previous matter and became excited at the ongoing phenomenon in front of him.

Once it digested the High-Level Earth Grade Poison Essence, he felt that it should be enough for it to reach Low-Level King Grade!

In truth, Davis knew that these three Poison Essences were nowhere near the level of increasing Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn's grade as they were just Earth Grade Spirit Attribute Sources. If it weren't for the information that said the Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn was already near the King Grade wall, he wouldn't have tried to feed all the three Poison Essences first but used the Mid-Level Sky Grade Poison Essence to fuel it into a breakthrough!

Nevertheless, it seemed like he didn't need to go to such lengths. The Ivy Leaf Poison Lamp, Haze-Loving Lavender Beetle, and another Poison Essence appeared to be enough for it to reach King Grade!

Davis waited for another two hours this time.

Heaven and earth energy started to twist and spike in the atmosphere around them. Even in the darkness enshrouding the region, heaven and earth energy remained unimpeded. It disrupted the darkness, and the moonlight shined in a few places, making the surroundings distinctive enough to be recognized.

However, the Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn seemed to be floating still in one place. All the heaven and earth energy surrounding it rushed towards it as it took inside while its expression continually changed into a frown, pain, scowl, grimace, laughter, and sadness. Its expression seemed to be constantly twisting, making it look even more revolting and vicious.

Davis couldn't bear it. A human face dissolving and restored at the same time while making those numerous expressions made his stomach churn, but on the other hand, Nadia seemed to be fine. Her golden eyes were purely concentrated on the changes the Poison Essence seemed to be experiencing.

Suddenly, a flame lit up near the forehead of the Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn. It blazed with a dark green hue before turning verdant. It was as though it seemed to have the lush vitality of the greenery, but it was rather obvious that it constitutes the poisonous prowess of the prowling poisonous vines in dangerous vegetation.

"It has become a King Grade Poison Essence..." Davis's lips widened into a satisfied smile.

He had achieved what he had come to do!

However, looking at its change, Davis mused that the Ivy Leaf Poison Lamp's poison flame lamp had become one with it. The Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn somehow took its essence and integrated it into its powers.

Perhaps, it was temporary, or they were compatible with each other...

Davis didn't know if it were the former or the latter, but he became confused.

'Wasn't it said that the Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn was immune to paralytic poison? But it then integrated Ivy Leaf Poison Lamp's paralytic ability into it... Does this mean that it both immune to and deadly with poisonous paralytic abilities?'

Davis experienced a terrifying chill on his back.

It carried a deadly poison that quickly erodes all life, and now, it is capable of making its victims paralytic, causing them to be incapable of searching for an antidote or even stand on their own two legs.

All they could wait for is death!

It was chilling to know that it could pose an immense threat to the entire Grand Alstreim City now. With its King Grade Poison, it could even threaten Law Sea Stage Experts!

Only an Ancestor-level character would be able to deal with it without having to fear the result of being poisoned during the battle!

Nevertheless, knowing its terrifying prowess, he became convinced that if Evelynn were to absorb it, she would undoubtedly comprehend a Grand Law Manifestation!

However, he became hesitant about whether to let her absorb or not.

After all, the Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn became too powerful that Evelynn may not be able to thwart its poison from attacking her entire body during the absorption process.

However, musing that it should not be a threatening variable because of her Martial Master Stage body, also powered by the Earth Dragon immortal's Blood Essence, he felt that it should be relatively safe for Evelynn to absorb the Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn without being poisoned back to death.

Of course, if things went wrong, he knew that he could reverse the process by using the life-like energy from Fallen Heaven. He had nothing to worry about but still couldn't help himself because she was one of his cherished, precious, and beloved wife.

Suddenly, the region around them became enshrouded in verdant ashes, slowly spreading into the distance.

Nadia noticed this, and she waved her sleeves. The darkness that was scattered churned as it congregated and wrapped the area again, turning into sharp yet tiny pitch-black claws that seamlessly concealed itself in the dark and eroded the verdant poisonous ashes!

"Hesheshehe!"

The Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn quickly knew that its sneak attack was discovered. It didn't bother to act anymore and rushed towards them in a frenzy! It exposed its verdant flames to its front, and the darkness that blinded it quickly receded like a tide, but the next second, the darkness tried to overwhelm it instead!

Its eyes widened into two saucers!

This... This darkness was too thick!

It no longer held back and used its stored energy that was completely restored from the breakthrough! Verdant ashes leaked from its orifice as it erupted, and the verdant flame became further intense, burning with a poisonous might that equally tried to corrode the darkness!

*Shshshsh!~*

The sound of erosion echoed.

The Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn narrowed its eyes before its body trembled in the realization that its poisonous ashes were being overwhelmed again!

What!?

Why is this human so tricky and hard to deal with!? It couldn't understand!

By the time the third Poison Essence came into its view, it already knew that the human trapped it in his darkness cage was feeding it. It wasn't able to tell that human's intentions, but it was not naive as to think that it was being treated well.

It was not a newborn Spirit Attribute Source to be deceived, nor was it a peaceful-natured entity but an entity that took a massive liking to torture and killing like a psychotic child who only thinks that it's fun. It wanted to kill this human so that it could thank him in its own way, absorbing him into its body as well for nutrition.

However, why?

Why didn't its attacks manage to thwart the darkness? But it was instead easily enshrouded by the darkness like a rat that was caught in a trap!?

It was forced to suddenly come to a stop by an abrupt force that emerged from the darkness suppressing its attacks and body! It became shaken as it realized that it was unable to move!

The next second, the darkness receded, and what came into its view was a woman with her fair white arm reached out, her palm and lithe fingers enshrouded in darkness clawing towards it, clearly intent on suppressing it from making any moves.

"Give up struggling because, according to master's wishes, you belong to my Mistress Evelynn!"
