Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 700 New Cultivation Manual

Learning from his previous mistake, Davis had set the condition for the manual to be equal or below Emperor Grade with the former being preferable and added a condition that the Dual Cultivation Manual should be able to benefit both male and female; both the sexes involved in the intimacy.
However, what he got, in the end, was a Low-Level Sky Grade Dual Cultivation Manual that wasn't worth a mention in his stage. It was only useful for a little while, and that too for Natalya and not Evelynn as she had reached High-Level Law Seed Stage already.
As for Natalya, even though it was a bit useful for her, it would soon be rendered useless in a year or two,
Davis almost had the impulse to throw away the dual cultivation manual he got but it was instead imprinted in his soul, hence, he couldn't do anything about it.
Sighing at that time, he proceeded to use one more chance, the last of the four chances he used, and requested to obtain an Emperor Grade Soul Forging Cultivation Manual that was at the peak.
Feeling that he wouldn't get the manual he desired, he simply did not add many conditions to it and only asked for a suitable Soul Forging Cultivation Manual.
Perhaps the request was too vague, Fallen Heaven pondered for a few more seconds before etching his soul with the complete knowledge of a Soul Forging Cultivation Manual!
[Incandescent Vermilion Soul Mantra]
A Peak-Level Emperor Grade Soul Forging Cultivation Manual!
At that time, all the disappointment he had gotten had been all blown away by this single yet detailed knowledge!
'A bemoaning cry of a vermilion bird; feeding its incandescent soul to the heaven and earth; only to turn into ashes, without a rebirth.'
Davis recited the first paragraph of the Incandescent Vermilion Soul Mantra in his mind.
This single paragraph, in the beginning, spoke volumes about the Vermillion Bird's lamentation about the Phoenix Bird's prowess.
'The creator is a man who synced his emotions and passion with the feelings of a vermilion bird in regards to rebirth and achieved Soul Emperor Stage even shot to the peak before ascending to be an Immortal.'
'He became later known as the Vermilion Soul Immortal and venerated by the later generations for this unique work of treasure.'
Davis knew the history of this manual as the knowledge he was given had also depicted the history of its birth. That said, he didn't know which powers in this world possessed all these Cultivation Manual he obtained from Fallen Heaven.
Well, if they had a copy of it with them, then he would just have to claim that it's his!
'... Problem solved...'
Davis moved his lips and displayed his fangs with an evil smirk.
'Nevertheless, this Incandescent Vermillion Soul Mantra has been plenty of help to me! I almost feel like I can break through to the Supreme Soul Stage within a year if I can keep up my newly obtained comprehensions at this pace!'
He mused but abruptly narrowed his eyes.
He had his avatar exit as he went out of the bedroom, not disturbing the two who were seriously cultivating. He flew out of his house like a ghost and exited the residence as he flew away towards the third level.
There was only one reason for his abrupt departure because he felt those majestic and oppressing Eighth Stage undulations erupt within the boundaries of the clouds below the third level, right above the central area of the second level.
It was hidden and suppressed but it didn't escape his sharp senses!
When he entered the third level and looked at the mess that occurred, he became dumbfounded at the scenery revealed in front of him.
======
The cloud that seemingly sealed the third level from the second level appeared to extend to the skies as if it engulfed a small portion of the third level in a vertical manner. However, even that small portion rather covered a large perimeter of two hundred kilometers.
"Impudent!"
A growl filled with arrogance and dominance echoed in the skies as it reverberated, causing one's hair to rise!
"Heh! Royal Father, since you have stepped down as the Emperor now, you are no longer eligible to scream as you seem fit."
Another figure stood starkly in opposition to the previous dominant voice. A man with gentle facial features but it was now distorted in a calm type of craziness.
"You dare to defy me!?"
"Hahaha, I am now the Emperor's brother... Why can't I?"
These two were none other than Kaiser Ethren and Alexi Ethren.
Hearing what his third son Alexi uttered through his mouth, Kaiser Ethren harrumphed in disapproval.
"Unfilial child! I shouldn't have fathered you! All the princes I fathered turned out to be useless after your birth! You calamitous ingrate!".
"Hahaha!"
Alexi Ethren erupted into a fit of laughter, his genial face possessing a mocking expression.
"Heh, ingrate? Father, you seem to have been mistaken. I didn't use the resources of the Ethren Empire to grow to the cultivation I have now but crossed countless tribulations in the outside world!"
"On the other hand, you are but an insignificant and cowardly individual who abandoned my mother and abused your position as the Emperor!"
Kaiser Ethren's expression changed.
"Royal Protectors! What are you waiting for!? Capture this unfilial son of mine!" He yelled as he pointed at Alexi Ethren.
A few seconds later, his gaze that fell at Alexi Ethren moved to his back as he felt that there was no response from the Royal Protectors.
"Heh, father, it seems like you forget everything when you are drunk with power."
"If your memory is not clear from your long accursed life, then let me explain..." Alexi Ethren spread his hands with a wry grin on his face.
"With the rules of the Ethren Empire stating that no one can challenge the Emperor, you have reigned unquestioned and unbridled! However, now that you have stepped down, the rules clearly allow that I, a royal of high status can challenge you, the previous Emperor to a battle of death!"
"The Royal Protectors can't interfere in the challenge as per the ancestral rules of the Ethren Empire."
Alexi Ethren sneered as he gestured in a rude manner.
When Kaiser Ethren turned to look at all the Royal Protectors who looked back at him with indifference, he narrowed his eyes with disguised anger.
"And besides, no one cares about you enough to step in to save you from this crisis!"
Alexi Ethren mocked his father's way of life. His father had offended too many in that position, hence, most of the people who were equal to him in strength might defect from his side and not give him face anymore.
As for the other who never liked him to begin with... there was no need to say.
In the Royal Scene, Alexi Ethren knew what it would be like in his early years as a teen; people ready to backstab once the opportunity arises. However, he had also prepared for being blocked by the Royal Protectors but fortunately, it seemed that he didn't have to use his backup plan.
Suddenly, a burst of crazy laughter echoed.
Alexi Ethren looked at this father laugh like a crazy man. He narrowed his eyes and awaited with the sound of a mild nervous rhythm in his heart as he knew that his father was not crazy at all.
In fact, although he knew that his father tended to take vile paths without thinking much in his days as the Emperor, it wasn't entirely like that...
When it comes to matters at the Eighth Stage and higher, he knew that his father becomes unusually solemn and thinks of the consequences and places the safety of his self before anything.
But he wasn't surprised, after all, this was the mere personality of a cowardly person who bullies the weak and bootlicks the strong!
