Divine Emperor of Death

"Stop!"

With the usage of his movement technique, Davis shot toward the Voidslime Realm Eater like lightning. With his hands clenched like a fist, he was about to unleash a chaotic blow, but looking at the female disciples ahead, he inwardly grumbled and changed signs. He had his index and middle finger on top of each other, condensing his essence energy before he whipped his right hand and pointed at it.

Lightning, fire, and wind shot out as they swirled out like a beam.

*Bang!~*

A haphazard combination of all three of his primary essence energies struck the small Voidslime Realm Eater, causing it to jump and shudder.

*Bzzz!~*

Its speed considerably lowered and came to a stop, especially when Davis unleashed the Soul Suppression Art against it using his reincarnation energy. His full focus was on the Voidslime Realm Eater because he didn't think anything in this mini-realm could threaten him!

Still, he didn't think his soul suppression would work on the Voidslime Realm Eater, but it worked!

He wouldn't complain, even guessing it was because it chose to abandon its offensive body for an elusive one that exposed its soul in its core.

Nonetheless, his fingers were fried with him, unleashing the combination of three annihilative attributes.

Life energy burst out as it healed him, but before that was even done, he quickly joined his hands and began to set up a spirit formation around, something he had improvised in the past few days so that he could seal entities.

His expression twitched in pain as drawing runes was important to make spirit formations. He clasped his hands, forming some seals before he quickly drew on the air, causing a plethora of complex inscriptions to appear before it directly coalesced into an ancient-like rune that shone in a black-white iridescent color.

'Spirit Formation: Fourcrossed Reincarnation Lattice Inverse Seal!'

Taking fifteen whole seconds to form the rune, Davis waved his finger and unleashed the spirit formation.

Abruptly, the Voidslime Realm Eater was encased in a black-white barrier.

The creature itself seemed ominous, but the barrier was practically screaming bad news.

Even then, the Voidslime Realm Eater suddenly found that all the suppression it had endured had disappeared.

Indeed, Davis stopped using the Soul Suppression Art, and the remnant annihilative energy that stuck to the Voidslime Realm Eater also gradually receded. Hence, it was now free to move.

Without missing a beat, it moved in the opposite direction, intending to escape for the third time!

However, it suddenly stopped at the edge of the barrier.

It was just halfway out when it barely managed to stop before suddenly floating back toward the center.

"!!!"

It shuddered, unleashing spatial undulations that managed to distort the space around it but nothing else. The barrier still stayed despite its threatening actions.

Davis's lips couldn't help but curl as he saw its weakened struggles.

Back then, he had used a simple yet orthodox version of this move, Spirit Formation: Fourcrossed Lattice Seal, against Calypsea's Elemental Form when she had just been born. At that time, she was all about killing everyone, including him, because he was an Anarchic Divergent. She easily tore through that seal and made her way out, so he wanted to see how this spatial monstrosity would fare against it.

"That's right… the barrier itself isn't sealing you but imposing a condition on you. If you step out of it, chances are your soul will corrode, and you will die…"

Davis couldn't help but laugh lightly as he saw the Voidslime Realm Eater instinctively understand that its death would be upon it if it were ever to step out.

In truth, it wouldn't be in danger if it stayed there forever, but the moment it stepped out, it would be its end. This spirit formation depended on these two extremities to be this powerful.

This spirit formation rune had a lot of flaws that he needed to work on, but for this weakened Voidslime Realm Eater, he didn't think he would need more. However, he didn't underestimate it as he knew that it could probably summon its big gelatinous body back in due time and go on a rampage after breaking his spirit formation, causing this entire mini-realm to collapse from its undulations that equaled that of a High Stage Immortal Emperor.

It could be minutes, hours, weeks, or even seconds.

He didn't know but wasn't bothered.

After all, he held its life in his hands as of this moment, so using Fallen Heaven's energy to kill it shouldn't matter as long as he didn't let it fully transform.

"Ziaaa!!!~"

An ear-piercing, enraged scream reverberated throughout the area, causing thousands of disciples who came to see what was going on to shudder.

Some directly fainted, unable to withstand the shout, but most of them were still awake.

Davis felt that he was right when he guessed that it had abandoned its offensive form. Now, it could only make empty threats against Immortal Emperors and threaten Immortal Kings, but a sound attack using spatial reverberation wasn't going to do anything much.

After confirming that it really was helpless, Davis heaved a sigh.

He had originally thought it would absorb this mini realm from outside, like how it pierced through the layer of the mini realm, but it seems like it could even infiltrate realms that had limits imposed on them. It was a terrifying aspect that many people would be willing to take advantage of, but the Voidslime Realm Eater was lacking intelligence and only acted on instincts.

Despite its grand fleeing abilities, it was unable to think properly about how to escape. Otherwise, it would've long left them in the spatial storm.

Looking up, he saw Stella solidify the spatial vortex with her manifestation of Void Dust Tree roots. If she did descend, he knew this mini realm was done for. However, he wasn't worried for her since he knew she would be able to return outside safely, as creating spatial channels was her domain rather than the Voidslime Realm Eater.

"Husband…"

At this moment, a familiar voice echoed out from the crowd.

It came from the gates, which he didn't access but instead passed through a hole in the wall.

Turning to look around, he saw that it was none other than Natalya, and accompanying her was Valley Master Jade Aurora.

'Right… she is a top disciple here…'

Davis shook his head. For some reason, he didn't want to lock gazes with Jade Aurora. He felt like it would invite a plethora of emotions he didn't want to think about, but he also felt guilty because he felt the need to address them.

The sacrifice her other soul made was not something he could comprehend but deeply appreciated, for he truly felt like he had avoided a calamity.

Natalya flew towards him, telling everyone not to be afraid.

It seemed that she was a guest here already.

Davis didn't know her situation but eventually came to learn that she was helping Jade Aurora clear the invaders and do other things that would help accelerate Jade Aurora's campaign to become the Matriarch of the Jade Lotus Valley.

He was about to explain his situation and how he ended up here but then saw Jade Aurora finally appear before him, making him turn to look at her.
