Divine Emperor of Death

Almost half a month later, they arrived at the border of the Ross Empire and saw the widely long crevice leading down to the depths.

This was actually a danger zone recorded in the Royal Library of the Loret Family, named, the Absolute Death Crevice.

It was said that Fourth Stage Magical Beasts exists in this Absolute Death Crevice, so no one bothered to enter it since the top powerhouses had already scouted out the place, mentioning that there were no treasures to be found from time immemorial.

Even so, many people did try their luck and enter but they still died, becoming the cause for the name, Absolute Death Crevice.

Davis nonchalantly flew into the Absolute Death Crevice as Clara followed behind him indifferently.

The opening of the crevice was like a small tideland where two or three waterfalls were running down the crevice from time to time.

The waterfall made the crevice like structure to possess flowstones and even stalagmites on some protruded edges of the crevice.

However, the flowstones and stalagmites were formed from no ordinary rocks, and they looked blue in color, lighting the crevice in a dazzling sapphire hue.

This blue colored rock formation was something previously known as Indro Rock, which was used as a material for forging Mortal Grade Weapons.

Yes, the crevice was a mining site for Indro Rock Ores but deep inside the crevice, there was a wide surface with an oasis that was purely beneficial to Magical Beasts.

That is why no one came to mine the Indro Rocks despite it being situated on the opening of the crevice, afraid that they might be targeted by the magical beasts.

The Indro Rocks weren’t the only material that could be found here but numerous ingredients such as mushrooms or unique spirit grass could be found here as well.

However, it still wasn’t enough for the adventurers to risk their lives, so this place has been quite abandoned throughout the Millenium other than the magical beasts acting as a natural barrier to other empires.

Davis slowly descended down the crevice, his eyes darted around as he saw many cave-like structures, amounting to hundreds, if not thousands.

Some caves were naturally formed but many were artificially formed as the Magical Beasts living here built their own by digging into the Indro Rock Walls.

Davis felt the presence of many Sky Beast Stage Magical Beasts in the upper part of the crevice and Spirit Beast Stage in the lower part of the crevice.

As his Soul Sense invaded the entire Absolute Death Crevice, he even found two Grand Beast Stage Magical Beasts in an elliptical-shaped cavern-like structure beside the oasis.

Grand Beast Stage Magical Beasts were Fifth Stage Magical Beasts and were in their prime. He could see why this place had been marked a danger zone.

As his Soul Sense was at the Sixth Stage, none of them could even trace back or even notice his Soul Sense

Unfortunately, he could tell that none of them were Earth Rank Species, otherwise, he would’ve considered capturing some while returning from the trip.

Different from the Mortal Rank Species Magical Beasts, Earth Rank Magical Beasts could transform into humans.

However, Davis didn’t know how they transform internally.

For example, as far as he had seen, they had the characteristics of their magical beast traits in their hair, eyes and all the parts of the human body, however, they didn’t possess a horn, a tail, or even claws.

They looked a lot like humans rather than demi-humans he initially thought them to be. He thought they would transform into half-human and half-beast form but reality had been quite different.

Or maybe they could and they just didn’t prefer that form.

In any case, he felt that he needed an Earth Rank Species Magical Beast for pure curiosity.

Princess Isabella had an Emperor Rank Species Magical Beast but he doubted if she would even let him ’experiment’ on that little dragon.

As he descended over the middle of the crevice, he moved forward to a cave entrance that was on the walls and entered it.

Out of the thousands of cave formations, this one was a naturally formed cave structure.

The reason he entered the cave that led to a place like a tunnel was that he saw the sign that Viktor left behind when he returned.

Walking in the narrow path of the tunnel for a while which could allow a normal adult elephant to barely pass through, he arrived at the end of the narrow path.

He went forward and touched the wall with his hand and took a few steps back. He then turned his stretched hand towards the left and grasped the empty space and pulled it down.

It was like he had pulled down on something yet nothing was there in his line of sight.

He used Soul Sense on it but still couldn’t find the hidden formation but his two uncles were able to find it through some coincidence when they took refuge for three years in this cave when chased by a Sky Beast Stage Magical Beast at that time.

After Davis returned to his room after threatening Viktor, the latter pleaded to ignore the mortals on Planet Earth and told him a few things about the locations that he should be aware of in detail.

As for the coincidence, Viktor mentioned that a glow lighted up the formation’s switch at that time when they were taking refuge in that cave, and weirdly enough, it was around the same time Davis transmigrated.

Davis instantly assumed that there was some kind of connection with this place and the formation at the Secret Temple which he used to transmigrate with the help of Fallen Heaven.

Davis narrowed his eyes.

A moment later, the sidewall in front of him magically disappeared as if it never existed before.

Davis went ahead and touched the empty space but he could’ve sworn that it was not an illusion.

How could the wall just disappear automatically like that? After all, the wall felt real a moment ago when he examined it with his Soul Sense.

’Maybe it was just an illusion...’ Davis mused and the thought that the art of illusions is terrifying invaded his heart.

When he considered back, Natalya also fell into an illusion and got tricked into slavery except she was not enslaved. Even her whole family was tricked.

It was only with his help did she manage to clear the differences and managed to see the truth.

Davis sighed as the thought of Natalya flashed past his mind. That helpful yet diligent woman should’ve returned to her home by now, no?

"What are you standing there for, brother?"

Davis turned his head to see Clara glance at him with a frown on her face.

It was as if she didn’t mind about the wall just disappeared but instead worried about him.

Davis shook his head as he thought of saying that he was thinking about nothing but that would just be seen through by Clara in an instant.

As far as he could determine about her Transcendent Truth Eyes, she had already unlocked her potential and was able to control eyes to see through the truth without changing the color of her eyes.

Not only that but she could also keep her emotions in check as if her surroundings had nothing to with her.

That’s why she was also not shocked to see the wall disappear like it never existed in the first place.

But from this, Davis smiled as he could see the worry in her eyes. Her surroundings might stop her from exhibiting her emotions but his presence could.

A gratified feeling welled up in him as he spoke, "I was thinking about this woman I stayed with for a year or so in a residence. Her name was Natalya, and other than keeping the residence clean, she helped me with pill concocting..."

Clara looked at him as she slightly lifted up her chin but then nodded her head.

Davis inwardly laughed seeing that she was checking his integrity as an honest brother. Well, he also didn’t let her misunderstand the situation.

Although she didn’t seem to be exhibiting emotions much, her Transcendent Truth Eyes seemed to express different emotions through its splendid otherworldliness.

Stepping to the front, he crossed the place where the wall previously existed and entered a narrow passage.

The narrow passage seemed to move underground and they walked forwards in a spiral for about ten minutes or so.

Finally, they entered a dilapidated hall that looked incredibly battered and not taken care of, just like that secret temple from where he transmigrated to the Grand Sea Continent.

Davis looked at the altar that was at the center, and his eyes flashed with momentary glee! He rushed forwards a little and slowly walked around the formation that was at the center of the place.

The eye, the patterns, the diagrams... Everything seemed to come back to him in an instant.

It was the same as the formation in the secret temple as far as he could differ from an external point of view. If that was the case, then this meant that the two places were undoubtedly connected.

But this made no sense!

Then how did he break through the space and possess this body?

If the latter can be said to be the work of Fallen Heaven, then the former can be said to be the work of the formation in the secret temple.

Then if that’s true, wouldn’t that mean the formation in the Absolute Death Crevice and the Formation in the Secret Temple was not connected?

At that time when he possessed this body, he was nowhere near Ross Empire, much less the Absolute Death Crevice.

Did that mean his journey through the space tunnel was not complete?

Davis felt his mind go blank as he felt confused.

Viktor provided him no explanations with the other side and he didn’t want to ask either since that would reveal he was once a person of Planet Earth or at least a person who once knew of that place.

His actions were already suspicious enough, so he did not want to reveal that fact to all people, except his loved ones but there was also an exception; Drake Blackburn.

Since they were from the same place and needed information about their bugged existence, they felt a sense of familiarity with each other.

And probably, that’s why they could share information with each other even when meeting for only a short while after or so Davis thought.

Davis shook his head and saw the outer circle of the diagram contain eight elliptical spaces.

Viktor told him that there were numerous Low-Level Spirit Stones placed on these elliptical spaces, and they used it to activate the formation.

But now, the elliptical spaces are empty and the formation was not energized but Viktor told him the requirements to activate the formation.

Davis walked to the eight elliptical spaces and kept 125 Low-Level Spirit Stones each, amounting to a thousand.

He then walked to the center of the formation and said, "Clara, I’ll be going first, If I don’t return within a day, go back to the Royal Castle."

Clara nodded her head obediently. They had already talked about this before departure.

Davis wasn’t willing to send Clara to her death by making a careless mistake.

The first time he used a spatial formation ripped his flesh and body to pieces. Although negligible and didn’t cause a trauma, that event still remained in his head.

And though he could use Fallen Heaven to send some people through the spatial tunnel to verify its integrity, he’d rather not as its integrity was already confirmed by Viktor and the others.

What remained in his heart was a slight amount of cautious towards the unknown; the mysterious entity.

When traveling in the spatial tunnel, what if that unknown and mysterious existence which sealed Fallen Heaven pulls him into another space? Wouldn’t he and most importantly, Clara be doomed then? He wanted to avoid that at all costs.

Davis activated the formation and instantly his figure disappeared from the place, leaving only a speedy wave of air, lifting up Clara’s lustrous blonde hair to the heavens she as stared at the spectacle.
