Chapter 2224: lncredulous

“…”

Founder Alstreim Windstorm furrowed his brows at the state of the Infernal Lightning Palace’s Immortal. Her eyes exuded a murderous intent, making him believe that she lost the Infernal Lightning Palace in both the First Haven World and the Fifty-Two Territories. She was deranged, to say the least, perhaps extremely provoked after she misunderstood that Immortal Guang betrayed her.

However, all that hatred was focused on his descendant, causing him to inwardly grumble.

Turning to look at Davis, he wondered why he was unable to catch up and stop him. However, shaking his head, he sent a soul transmission.

“Obedient and good descendant. Listen to your ancestor. I understand your emotions, but there’s only so much one can do with anger. If you want to avenge the death of your woman, I could understand and accompany you as it suits my taste, but your woman was just an avatar, still alive and well beside you. Please wake up. Don’t foolishly lose her or yourself when you can battle later and emerge victorious. I know you would as I’ve never seen a mortal stronger than you, even in the First Haven World.”

Davis heard the convincing yet pleading tone of the Founder. He couldn’t help but cast a momentary glance, his eyes blinking in stupefaction before returning his gaze.

“I’m here to plead guilty.”

“Oh?” The Infernal Lightning Palace Immortal’s luscious lips curved, her charm revealing itself.

“Does that mean you’ll kneel and lick my shoes for wrongfully destroying my Infernal Lightning Palace?”

“…”

Without a word, Davis started walking towards the Infernal Lightning Palace’s Immortal in mid-air.

Founder Alstreim Windstorm became shocked at Davis. Is this what he came here for? To apologize when no one was witnessing?

Is that why he sent everyone away!?

‘Wait… then why would he bring Sect Master Lea Weiss, one of his women of all people, here?’

He was utterly confused when he saw Davis raise his right hand, black lightning emerging on the tip of his fingers as they covered his palm to the forearm.

Instantly, both Founder Alstreim Windstorm and Infernal Lightning Palace Immortal became wary, feeling a dreadful might stemming from Davis. Moreover, it was as though the atmosphere turned heavy, no, authoritative as they felt a tyrannical aura swell from him.

*Whizz!~*

Davis instantly moved, his feet becoming covered in lightning. The Infernal Lightning Palace Immortal also didn’t dare to restrain herself, feeling that something was wrong with this mortal. However, before she could realize what had happened, an arc of black lightning streaked past her face.

*Paah!~*

A clear sound of a slap reverberated across the mountains, causing Founder Alstreim Windstorm to reel in disbelief.

At the same time, the Infernal Lightning Palace Immortal’s eyes became bloodshot, one of her hands swinging towards Davis, who was in front of her. However, he closed the distance between their bodies, causing her swing to miss when abruptly, she felt a large object penetrate her, right into her solar plexus.

“…!”

*Puchi!~*

Davis’s hand pierced inside Infernal Lightning Palace’s Immortal. However, it didn’t emerge outside but stayed inside, threatening to destroy an essential part of the immortals, the Immortal Vessel.

“How does it feel to have a lightning weapon penetrate inside your body? Didn’t you do the same to my Lea?”

The Infernal Lightning Palace Immortal’s gaze shook.

Not only was the Emperor of Death so close to her face, inches away from her lips, but he basically locked her into a stalemate. Even now, she couldn’t understand how he penetrated her immortal body, making her finally realize that perhaps this mortal shouldn’t be treated as a mortal.

“You… will… pay… for this!”

The Infernal Lightning Palace’s Immortal moved her lips hatefully, seemingly unconvinced that she lost even though she was unable to move when abruptly her entire body trembled.

“Ahhhh!!!”

She released a wretched scream atop of her lungs as she threw her head above, horrified that he still had the luxury to attack her in what she thought was a stalemate. Right now, she could feel her meridians burning and her organs frying, lightning and flames surging from the inside, from the hand that held her Immortal Vessel as a hostage.

Her meridians burst from being unable to handle the flames and the resulting flames and lightning that escaped shred into her muscles and skin, frying her flesh. At the same time, they penetrated the bone, causing her to become paralyzed as she shivered in fright and hatred.

In all this, her infernal lightning was unable to overcome that damned black-silver lightning even though it overcame the dark crimson fire!

Did that mean his lightning that shouldn’t have even crossed Level Six Abstruse Intent was better than hers?

The Infernal Lightning Palace Immortal’s eyes swirled with dizziness, but she could hear his voice, painfully clear even amidst the torture she was undergoing.

“There was a young woman called Yulia in the Infernal Lightning Palace. She was talented beyond ordinary geniuses and was the daughter of the Infernal Lightning Palace’s Emperor. However, she had been offered to me as a compromise by your descendant, the Infernal Lightning Palace’s Emperor himself, and what do you think I did? Hahaha…”

“Bastard! You will die! Die! Die! Di-!!!-“

The Infernal Lightning Palace’s Immortal struggled as she screamed atop of her lungs, but it was of no avail as Davis abruptly sealed her mouth with his other hand. Instantly, that terrifying and suppressive lightning she started to fear surged from his palm that held her mouth and penetrated through her throat, entering her head as it traveled to her soul sea, wreaking havoc.

‘This is… heavenly lightning…!!!?’

She, who didn’t understand how his lightning could overwhelm her, finally realized the difference amidst her chaotic emotions, her heart descending into utter terror.

“Oh, don’t worry. I’m going to do the same thing to you, but later, once I finish making you understand what it means to be fried.”

Davis uttered, his expression utterly cold, twisted with insanity, while on the other hand, the Infernal Lightning Palace Immortal’s flesh became charred, some flesh even having melted. Her voluptuous body was almost naked, but it was no longer voluptuous but utterly skinny, having her fat and muscles burned to the limit.

Her hair had all gone ablaze long ago, making her bald but even her baldness wasn’t smooth, but blood pus was leaking out of all her scalp and all her orifices, having been inflamed so much that her blood boiled to the point of evaporating but became something else, congealed from being fried by the heavenly lightning.

Looking at this scene, Founder Alstreim was utterly dumbfounded. He saw the Infernal Lightning Palace Immortal’s trembling pupils roll back from being unable to endure this torture that almost turned her into a fried shrimp, his heart becoming shaken, especially when he looked at Davis’s unmoving gaze while he administered this gruesome torture.

However, his expression couldn’t help but change as he saw the fainted immortal abruptly open her eyes just as Davis took his hand that was sealing her mouth back, her pupils missing as her eyeballs glowing in a bloody light, infernal lightning crackling as though become berserk.

“Let’s die together!”

“Davis! Quick, retreat!”

*Bzzzz!~*

Oppressive undulations emerged as heaven and earth energy shook. The feeling of death crept upon Davis. However, he clenched his right palm without hesitation, cracking her Immortal Vessel.

*Szzzz!~*

At the same time, heavenly lightning and heavenly flames surged from within, her entire body bursting into terrifying suppressive and tyrannical flames while three dantians were simultaneously destroyed by three strands of heavenly lightning, her flesh lastly churning into ashes as they disappeared in the blazing wind.

Davis swiped his hand and collected a spatial ring but, at the same time, also collected her immortal soul essence. However, there was no smile of happiness on his face but just utter calmness that reflected his current emotions of peace.

‘He-Heavenly… flames…?’

But on the other hand, Founder Alstreim Windstorm’s entire body trembled heavily, his head revolving with chaotic emotions, full of disbelief.

Not only had he suppressed an immortal while being a mortal, but he also didn’t let the immortal commit suicide by self-destruction.

The Infernal Lightning Palace’s Immortal wasn’t just a Level One Immortal but a Level Two Immortal due to the suppression. If not, he knew she would be at Level Five Immortal Stage as that was the last improvement that he had heard about her in the First Haven World.

What kind of power and suppression did it actually take for a mortal to enact a feat like this? Causing a Level Two Immortal to become utterly powerless? Moreover, he achieved this while risking his own life, locking her into being unable to retaliate…

He gulped, still shook over the dubious scene he had seen. He’d rather believe that he was in an illusion formation than accept this outcome, even though it was only prideful and advantageous to him as the one who enacted this insanity was none other than his own descendant.

Davis remained hovering at the location he killed the Infernal Lightning Palace’s Immortal. At this moment, a frail and soft hand grasped his hand, causing him to smile lightly as he turned to look at Lea. She tip-toed towards him and kissed his lips, causing him to momentarily be taken aback before he lightly reciprocated, their lips churning with approval and love for each other.

They kissed for only three seconds, their lips separating before they smiled, the previous hardships they endured nowhere to be seen as they brightly smiled at each other. Lea’s smile was so resplendent that she hadn’t come close to smiling this wide in thousands of years, her heart filled with tenderness for him, someone other than her late magical beast, Rakaela.

Moreover, she didn’t need words to let him know that she approved of his actions that would’ve caused normal people to stray away.

After all, what he had done was what she experienced when being fried to death by the Infernal Lightning Palace’s Immortal, and that shock directly fell on her, the main body, at that time, causing her to feel extremely painful as well as worried about the Burning Phoenix Ridge.

Just the kiss alone was enough to convey her feelings, and this kind of feeling made her heart flutter with deep emotions of adoration for him, enough to recover the smile she lost back when she failed Rakaela!

In the distance, three figures watched with disbelief written all over their foreheads, their eyes wide in shock.

“Whom did you two say needed help?”

Feeling their Immortal Ancestor’s solemn gaze falling on them, Ivy Aries and Valley Master Jade Aurora’s gazes quivered, their minds reeling over the fact that Davis didn’t use Death Laws but Fire Laws and Lightning Laws, one that practically fumed with the tyrannical might of the heavens.

When did he become so powerful in Essence Gathering Cultivation!? Wasn’t he popular for Soul Forging Cultivation and Death Laws, becoming known as the Emperor of Death!?
