Divine Emperor of Death

Xerna Zenflame blinked at Davis.

Due to her rarely interacting with her father, she couldn't even recognize his aura. Besides, since the flesh Davis was eating already seemed to be bled out well, destroying most traces of bloodline aura. She couldn't even tell if he was joking or serious, but she could tell it was Fire Phoenix Meat without a doubt, causing her to lightly part her lips as she became speechless.

Eating a Fire Phoenix in front of a Fire Phoenix? That was a serious crime deserving of a hundred deaths.

However, what could she do?

She could only watch him clear a giant piece in a few seconds.

"…"

Meanwhile, Tina and the others couldn't help but look at each other.

They already had a sumptuous feast of this meat and knew its delicacy. Just inhaling its aroma tempered with various spices already had their mouths watering. However, to obtain so much meat, how far did their husband torture Killian Zenflame, repeatedly butchering him and healing him to obtain tons of meat?

Regardless, their pity for Patriarch Killian Zenflame only lasted for a moment before they joined Davis.

However, Davis couldn't help but smile, overseeing them take small bites by slightly moving their veils away.

His women, who would gorge on food until grease was on their chin, appeared very reserved, causing him to laugh inwardly before reminding them that they don't need to be veiled while eating food, but they rejected his opinion, shaking their heads.

But on the other hand, Nadia was taking huge chunks of flesh into her mouth, appearing uncaring of the gazes around her.

Even the other magical beasts like Cyclonis Blizzara and Zora Luan were reserved. They were still in their human forms, taking small bites, especially the latter, who held a deep resentment against the Fire Phoenix Clan for pushing them to extinction.

Just seeing this contrast made Davis want to laugh out loud, while the others didn't dare say anything about Nadia's appetite.

"A Feral Beast…"

Nadia turned to look around while munching. One of her three tails split into a doppelganger.

She was like a cat in the night. When she leaped forward, there was no sound and no movement in the air. Almost all the surrounding changes were extinguished by the aura of her death energy, allowing her to fly towards the giant lion that showed up.

Its fur was golden, and its eyes appeared to be bloodthirsty, but more than that, its tail made rattling sounds ever so lightly, making Davis blink as he could see it was probably a lion that also contained the blood of the Rumbling Earthtail Lion although it seemed to be more to the side of a Golden Thunder Lion as golden lightning crackled around its whiskers, lighting up the scene.

However, its ten-meter-tall head soundlessly fell before them, its blood flowing out like a waterfall before it completely disappeared from the scene, having been absorbed into a spatial ring.

"Sorry, didn't want to make the place dirty."

Vereina smirked ever so lightly.

"You can have everything of it."

Davis shrugged, causing Vereina's gaze to flicker.

"I didn't expect it, but thanks~ I deeply appreciate it."

Vereina spoke in a delighted tone as though she had forgotten being berated before.

She left the camp, causing the most of the others to wonder why she left them. After all, there was no other safe place than here despite Davis being an Anarchic Divergent. They could see why she would be happy as it was a Level Three Immortal Emperor Grade Carcass, killed without a sound when it actually tried to ambush them.

However, those who knew her ability simply smiled while some of their expressions twitched.

The way she absorbed soul essences was truly eerie.

The moon hung high in the dark blue night sky, sprinkling its silvery luminescence over the dense forest. Around the heartwarming glow of a campfire, a diverse group of individuals sat and enjoyed the feast personally cooked by Davis.

They felt that it was their honor to be received by him.

As the fire crackled and cast dancing shadows, they partook in sharing some of their own stories after Davis revealed where they were currently, causing them to be truly stumped before they initiated conversations on their own on how they couldn't believe they had the honor to visit the true immortal world while still being young.

However, once the realization that this was a sealed world supposedly monitored by the Upper Realms hit them, their expressions turned sullen, especially when the reason for sealing this world appeared to be related to this ridiculous notion known as realm concoction.

It appeared like they were bound to die.

"Don't feel so down. There's no way the Upper Realms are going to sacrifice everyone other than a few groups. Most likely, this should be a test to determine their abilities and use their destinies to their advantage by causing them to think this is truly a life-and-death battle. After all, with so many youths with extreme potential gathered, perhaps the realm concoction wouldn't be a dream anymore."

"Oh—!"

Many raised sounds of exclamation at Davis's speculation.

They were honestly taken aback by his speculation as they could see why this would be the case as geniuses never died an easy death, and so, with so many of them here, the possibility that this realm concoction would fail had drastically fallen.

'The heavens might even give them a helping hand…'

They derived this meaning just from hearing his words.

After all, if karmic burden was true, something negative, then the opposite should also exist, and they knew one of those blatant examples was those Heaven's Warriors.

Even facing cultivators a major stage above them, they rarely died.

"Emperor of Death. I, Larius Goldsun, am honored to be able to travel with you. Please accept this toast."

The Golden Crow Clan's leader, Larius Goldsun, raised his cup with both hands as though greeting before gulping it down his throat, causing Davis to nod at him.

"Good. As long as you all don't give me trouble and stay behind me, I can protect you, although I wouldn't give an assurance."

"We're aware. We are cultivators and do our best to be useful!"

Klaze Spacewark roared, causing the others to repeat after him.

Davis couldn't help but keep nodding as he took a few bites of the meat. This kind of life was also not bad, having a few hotblooded youths follow him into an adventure. However, his gaze flashed as he didn't lose sight of his responsibilities.

"Alright. Nadia, guard the place. I'll go cultivate a bit and come back."

"Yes, master~"

Nadia rubbed her wolf face against him before she flicked her head and stole the meant in his hand, causing him to laugh and caress her to his heart's content.

When he left, Bing Luli watched him with a serene gaze before she looked at the others.

The mood had considerably improved. He had riled them up like a natural leader, but Bing Luli knew he was none of these, and neither was he a charismatic leader, as she knew his true face was a man who only cared about his family and would abandon the others in order to protect them but for some reason, even she couldn't help but feel her heart riled up when she was with him, listening to him recount their experiences and derive a sensible outcome that made them believe that there was hope.

"…"

As a practitioner of the ice, her heart must be cold and serene, but she felt rather warm and secure, causing her to look at the campfire, making her wonder if it was the environment she was in.

"Are you fine? Your ears are red…"

"…!?"

Bing Luli flinched as she turned to look at Myria, "I'm fine. It's just… I think I'm slightly drunk."

"You only ate meat…"

"…"
