Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 166: Escape

1,000 kilometres away from the mountainous region where the space portal to the Grand Sea Continent was located.In the barren lands where there no vegetation, only a few drops of water scattered around the sandy plains could be seen."Did it recently rain?'" A figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere while the hot rays of the sun showered the land with sizzling heat.The silhouette that suddenly appeared looked as if it were an illusion that played tricks on one's eyes.This 5' 1" tall black-robed silhouette was Davis, who managed to escape while distracting the Sixth Stage experts who were above him.Even though he had the confidence to escape right under their noses, he didn't want to take any chances either.He didn't know if his plan worked or not, nor was he interested in knowing the result. All he needed was to distract them and it was enough for him.He looked above and looked at the cloudy sky which couldn't even block the rays of the sun as if they were too thin.He chuckled and continued to walk ahead, a slight grin could be seen on his face as he stretched his arms wide, "Ahh, this is the feeling of freedom..." He momentarily felt that he was free of burdens, carefree as a free bird.But instantly, he rolled his eyes at that thought.He still had a lot of things to do. Follow current on novelenglish.net

His face scrunched up in dissatisfaction at the fleeting feeling of freedom."Freedom is an illusion, there's actually no such thing as freedom unless you're always alone, not existing in anyone's mind..." He muttered like a philosophical old man who had reached the end of his lifespan. He suddenly stopped and looked back at the mountains which he came from as he shook his head, "I never thought I would feel so lonely after coming to this place. I am excessively attached to them..." His heart especially felt tugged with the feeling of needing Evelynn.He turned back as he continued to walk, and this time, his eyes had a renewed resolve to become stronger.....Two days passed.Davis could basically confirm that he had left their detection range as he had travelled over 10,000 kilometres speedily with his Silver Stage Cultivation.But as far as his eyes could see, it was still the mountainous desert region that filled his eyes."Damn! I should have reached the Revolving Core Stage before coming to this place!!!!" Davis shouted out, not bothering to mask his voice.He looked weary, and his eyes were a little sunken.If he could fly high, he could've seen which direction leads to getting out of this place sooner.Davis didn't dare to use his Soul Sense, afraid that he might be caught by an existence which he couldn't deal with.

Nor did he want to use his soul body to check it out as he was in an open area.But this wasn't the problem at the moment.He looked at the sky, 30 kilometres above and smiled wryly.A huge flock of Ferocious Vultures flew directly on top of him for over a day, causing a huge headache which led him to this dilemma.His eyes moved onto a specific Vulture.It was a huge Ferocious Vulture with a 25m wingspan that looked horrendous with its sharp barbed beak, hooked on the end, and its back occupied with greyish white wings. This creature was especially the reason for his headache for more than a day."Why am I so unlucky!?" Davis shouted again.He tried using the Dark Concealing Shroud Art but it was of no use considering that It just kept following and didn't lose his tail.A Mortal Rank Species - Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast! A Fifth Stage Magical Beast!These words kept echoing in his mind, making him cautious of its presence the whole time.It didn't near him but kept quite a close watch with its intelligent eyes as if seeking for a blind spot all day long.It didn't dare to near him because Davis was using his soul to faintly pressure it.

This method worked because Magical Beasts normally had weak souls.Unless the Magical Beast is an existence that has a formidable soul constitution, or from a soul type race, it will not have a powerful soul."This is insane!" Davis said as he gritted his teeth. If it came down, then he would have no choice but to engage in a life and death battle with it.Emperor Tritor and Emperor Raven had weak Soul Cultivation, so he was able to kill them despite their Fifth Stage Cultivation in the other two cultivation systems.But this was a Magical Beast, and even if a Fifth Stage Magical Beast had a weak soul, its soul was still of the Fifth Stage, which rendered Davis's Death Note useless in this case.From how he couldn't see its name by using his Death God Eyes, he could tell that it was at least a High-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast."At least, it isn't an Earth Grade Magical Beast. Otherwise, I would've been more or less dead right now..." Davis muttered as he consoled himself.He wasn't trying to joke but its presence and gaze gave him a heavy pressure that sent chills upon his spine, making him unable to even relax a little.He could literally feel death looming over him, waiting to greedily devour his flesh and bones.His mother had informed him about the difference in species rank of Magical Beasts.As far as his mother knew, there were five types of species rank and a species rank difference vastly enhanced the chances of a higher-rank species to win against a lower-rank species.Out of this predicament, he felt glad that this vulture was just a Mortal Rank Species, just like the Magical Beasts present in the Grand Sea Continent.Suddenly, he felt the pressuring gaze upon him disappear, prompting him to quickly glance at it.The Ferocious Vulture gave a low shout after it glimpsed in a certain direction. It then looked at him causing his mind to ring alarm bells of danger.'It's coming!!' Davis instantly thought
