Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 281: Ice?

To be honest, Davis felt like taking his chances with the risk. He already had Elder Severin's Soul which was at Mid-Level Elder Soul Stage, so he can use that to enter the next level and since his prowess was decreasing with every level and stage, he imagined that it would require only one or two Mid-Level Elder Soul Stage Soul Essences to breakthrough.A moment later after a quick contemplation, he shook his head as he muttered, "It isn't too good to be greedy..."'So what if I shouldn't quickly breakthrough? I'll just wait until my foundation is stable within a few days!'.....Quite a few days later, Davis roamed around the inner region seeking for more opportunities.But to his misfortune, he found no High-Level or Peak-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beasts.Even though he was in the inner region, he knew his limits and didn't go deep into the inner region.He just went around, circling the border of the inner region in a cautious manner. Otherwise, he knew as a matter of fact that he would be dead without a doubt.A few kilometers away from him, Davis spotted a magical beast that emitted a powerful magical beast aura and deadly vibes around it.He almost instantly and instinctively knew that he would be ripped to pieces if he were to discovered by it.

A centipede with hundreds of blade-like legs, slowly crawled on a gigantic corpse, feeding on with its two sharp mandibles.It was about 25 meters long and 3 meters wide, enough to even twist its body around 4 floors. He didn't know its species name nor its abilities.Davis slowly waited and didn't dare to use his Soul Sense or Death God Eyes on it.He just let time pass as he waited till the centipede left deep into the direction of the inner region.Soon, an hour passed just like that but to Davis, it felt like an eternity. The dread of becoming discovered was so real that he started to sweat a lot.From the deadly beast aura it emitted, he could tell that it was a Sixth Stage Magical Beast.A Saint Beast Stage Magical Beast!But now that it had disappeared, he recollected himself and wiped off the sweat from his forehead.'Is this the suppression from the stage or even worse, a suppression in terms of lifeform?' Davis thought but felt instantly that it should be the former.If it was the latter, humans couldn't cultivate more than his current level of strength. To such an obvious outcome to the question, he thought of it because the terror had temporarily befuddled him.Normally, he wouldn't fear even if death arrived in front of him, but the trembling in his heart he felt was absolutely real.Or was it simply because of the ugly, grotesque looking centipede? Davis couldn't tell but felt that it should be the suppression of stage and absolute power. Follow current on novel-online.com

Once he thought of it like this, he nodded his head, thinking that it should be the case.Now that the centipede left, he pondered for a moment before continuing with his journey.What a farce!He felt that it would be relatively safe for him to travel around the periphery of the inner region.If he hadn't noticed it first with his eyes and had it not been engrossed in eating another magical beast, he knew that he would've been devoured by that huge centipede.It was a good thing that he had kept his Soul Sense active only for a few meters around him.Otherwise, the centipede might have reacted to the Soul Sense and ripped him to pieces with its sharp scythe-like legs.After a few hours of traveling slowly, he suddenly noticed human voices echoing around in the direction of the outer region."Don't let it escape!" The voice of a man echoed out, sounding deeply into the mountains.There was no reply, but the scream of a beast pounded in his ears. It felt like it was its last scream, a sound made on the edge of deathbed.Davis instantly felt his surroundings drop in temperature a bit.Feeling curious, he headed in the direction of the voice while recasting Dark Concealing Shroud Art.

After a few minutes of travel, he sat upon the branch of a tree and swept the surroundings with scrutiny.There was a lot of blood spilled on the surface, but the man whose voice echoed was nowhere to be seen, neither was a carcass present.It didn't take Davis much to guess that there should be around two or more people present in this area and as for the carcass, they obviously retrieved it and escaped in the direction of the outer region.He jumped down and stood in front of the shimmering pool of blood.The pool of blood was a little stiff as if they were frozen; slightly crystallized. The air around here was cold and wet.That said, the blood emitted a vitality that was equal to a Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast!Though it was waning, the aura could be felt from the little blood that had been spilled.'Ice Laws...' Davis thought and verified that at least one of them should possess the power of Ice, at the elementary level.Ice Law was one of the Greater Laws and before reaching the Eighth Stage, one could only rank it as elementary.Primary Laws and Greater Laws, the former can be trained to a great degree when one reaches Fifth Stage and the latter when one reaches the Eighth Stage.'Interesting, I've never seen Ice Laws before...' Davis's curiosity was piqued and he had the urge to battle the Ice Cultivator. He licked his lips and extended his Soul Sense towards the direction of the outer region.In any case, he wouldn't find the magical beasts he targeted anytime sooner, and the reason he dared to extend his Soul Sense was primarily that it was the outer region.In the off-chance there was a Mid-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast present, it still wouldn't be able to discover his Soul Sense!"Huh?" Davis involuntarily let out a sound from his throat which escaped from his mouth.With his Soul Sense, he saw people safely setting up a defensive formation and a camp inside it.There were two of them, a man and a woman.
