Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2206: Grand Chaos Body Art

Chapter 2206: Grand Chaos Body Art

Inside the transparent jade casing, a black-purple sphere that embodied a vortex inside its spherical body hovered with a kind of mystic transience. It exuded a feeling of dread and joy, invoking a lot of emotions from the person in front of it, who gulped while looking at it.
Davis stared at the mysteriousness of the Chaos Essence Orb before turning to look at the golden tome, the Grand Chaos Body Art. He reached out his hand, wanting to know how to open the casing, when his hand actually slipped through the glass as it parted to make way for him, making him blink as to what kind of material it was before he didn't bother much about it and took the golden tome, bringing it out.
He brought it to his face and took a moment to admire the magnificence and the sheer pressure this tome gave him. He felt like the tome was at least made from an Immortal King Grade Beast Skin or an Ingredient that could be turned into paper used for talismans and such.
Nonetheless, he calmed himself and began to read through the contents of the Grand Chaos Body Art.
[Chaos is the beginning of the end, the genesis of all things; from the emergence of space to the conception of time, becoming the progenitor of all lives.]
[The Grand Chaos Body Art; born from witnessing the very essence of the cosmos.]
[Whoever obtains it shall obtain a body that is far stronger and enduring than any other body, even that of the Dragon Race, becoming capable of breathing as one with the world.]
"…"
Davis trembled as he read the few introductory lines, becoming more and more immersed. As he turned to the next page, he saw the method to create a unique physique called the Chaotic Genesis Physique, one that shocked him to the very core because it was an immortal physique, just like Myria's Eternal Life Soul.
There was no way for him to make something like that, not to mention the resources listed on it made his mind feel dizzy.
However, the method to concoct the physique itself was missing or perhaps hidden, causing him to wryly smile and move on.
He saw the Mortal Realm Chapter imprinted with fierce and piercing words, making his eyes burn with passion despite the pain as he felt like he could temper and circulate this method and bring his body to be able to circulate chaotic energy.
After all, chaos gave birth to all the elements present in the cosmos, so he should even be able to use it with his Essence Gathering Cultivation, but since the Grand Chaos Body Art seemed like a Body Tempering Cultivation, he felt it was practically made to enclose his weakness.
However, as he stumbled onto the Immortal King Grade Chapter after Immortal Foundation Chapter, he saw that the pages were blank.
'Are these also hidden?'
Blinking, he quickly turned the pages and ended up knowing the name of the next stage, the Immortal Emperor Stage. He turned the pages but saw that he had reached the end, displaying a pure blank piece of beast skin or paper.
'So the First Stage of the Immortal Realm is called the Immortal Foundation Stage. The next is the Immortal King Stage, and the Third Stage is the Immortal Emperor Stage. Not fancy at all, huh...'
Davis was expecting some other overbearing names to emerge, but it was still the same as he expected, but the prowess that these stages held was deeply alluring to him!
Taking a deep breath, he kept the golden tome back inside the casing and took it into his spatial ring, doing the same thing for the Chaos Essence Orb.
Turning around, he walked in grand strides, appearing extremely confident to face the challenges laid before him.
'The only thing remaining is for me to use the Spirit-Tier Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill...'
Considering that he was going to ascend inevitably, Davis felt that he should increase his Soul Forging Cultivation as well.
"I'm using the promissory note you have with me to clear off the debts between us right now, and what I want are the treasures you collected just now."
"…!"
Davis's eyes went wide as he turned to look at Myria raise her hand and reveal a promissory note that suddenly locked him in place, making him feel like he was bound to follow her words.
"You… you're kidding me. Using it at a time like this..."
His mouth lightly hung agape in disbelief over Myria's actions. Consequently, Evelynn and the others narrowed their eyes at her, their gaze brewing with hostility.
"Myria, what are you doing?"
Shirley appeared before Myria, her crimson eyes blazing with anger as she questioned.
"Didn't I just say? I'm collecting the debt back right now."
Myria glimpsed at Shirley with calm and unperturbed eyes before returning her gaze to Davis.
"I lost fair and square. However, I still hold some weight over you with the debt you have accumulated. Don't you feel the 'weight' burying you? Give me those two immortal treasures."
Davis's brows narrowed as he heard her words. He knew that the promissory note was binding, but by how much?
What kind of predatory karmic technique did she use to make him feel extraordinary pressure?
It was like Myria had become a loan shark, and he could only helplessly cower in front of her or feel like he would pay a high price to move, perhaps lose half of his vitality or so. He could only assume as he didn't know the specifics, but with Myria showing her hand and demanding that he return the debt, he essentially knew that she was also forming a trump card against him, just like he held Fallen Heaven against her.
Perhaps, if the debt grew without a stop…
'Would she be able to make me a slave…?'
Davis derived with a cold expression on his face, the two treasures appearing in both of his hands.
"In that case, consider the Chaos Essence Orb and the Grand Chaos Body Art before looking at the debt I accumulated. It shouldn't be able to match the level of these treasures, right?"
"Well-"
Myria was about to explain when Davis smirked and cut her off.
"Even if it did, you could only have one, but I'll definitely value the Grand Chaos Body Art over the Chaos Essence Orb, as even if I gave you the Chaos Essence Orb, I'd still have a way to find a similar treasure even if the chances of finding it are abysmal but for the Grand Chaos Body Art, hehe~ I'll not give it to you even if just want the Mortal Realm chapters of it."
Myria watched him with narrowed eyes before she coldly smiled.
"Indeed. It's as you say. Both those treasures value far more than your own life. Even if you accumulated a lifetime's worth of debt, you still wouldn't be able to match the value of those treasures."
"Then you can't have it from me." Davis shrugged, causing Myria to shake as though she couldn't help but silently laugh.
After her shaking stopped, she raised her head, appearing to look down on him.
"I understand that your life is measly to you. However, do you think the favor of saving your Evelynn's life is lesser than this Chaos Essence Orb and Grand Chaos Body Art bound together?"
"…"
The smirk in Davis's expression left as he recalled the scene when Myria saved Evelynn from the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Empress that had apparently gone insane by using Reincarnation Laws.
"Do you think that these treasures are worth more than her life you hold dear?"
It was like the hammer to the nail, causing Davis's eyes to become bloodshot as he clenched his fist and waved.
"Fuck you, Myria! You can have them, you greedy witch!"
He threw the two jade casings at her as they flew towards her with an incredible speed. However, with a wave of her hand, she made the speeding treasures stop in front of her.
"…!"
Evelynn and the others became shocked at Davis's move. Their eyes were wide with shock, witnessing him give those invaluable treasures over to Myria, the treasures that he risked his life to obtain.
However, Myria's face was lowered. She flicked her hand as though waving, causing the two treasures to hover back to Davis in a slow manner, which garnered everyone's attention, including Davis's, who became stunned.
Within a few seconds, the two immortal treasures were already in front of him, making his shuddering fists calm down as he raised his head, staring at Myria, who smilingly moved her lips.
"I just asked. If you had said otherwise, I planned to leave because you would've lost all credibility. After all, time and time again, I've seen so many upright cultivators of integrity and righteous reputation, losing their minds over hair-raising treasures that invoked the disgusting greed hidden in the depths of their hearts."
"…"
"However, as expected of a person who comprehended Enigmatic Heart Intent. You can really see what's important to you that you didn't hesitate to throw these invaluable treasures at me, although I do mind the cursing."
Myria shook her head, seemingly disappointed. However, Davis was trembling with rage.
All this… just to test him…?
"Don't do it next time."
Myria giggled as she turned around, laughing scarcely.
*Whoosh!~*
Davis's figure abruptly appeared in front of her, blocking her path as he raised his hand, pointing right at her face.
"You don't do it next time."
He trembled ever so lightly, simply looking furious.
Being on the receiving end of checking people's integrity, he finally had a taste of his own medicine. It definitely didn't feel good, especially after feeling like he had finally made some kind of connection with Myria after saving her from death and receiving her life's worth of a manual, at the very least, feeling like he did something of worth to lower the amount of debt he held to her.
However, he understood why she did it nonetheless, so his anger drastically reduced.
Lowering his hand, he saw her clear eyes that rushed past him as she walked away.
'Moreover… she didn't ask Fallen Heaven but these immortal treasures...'
Obviously, no matter how unique the Grand Chaos Body Art was, how could it compare to Fallen Heaven?
It could be seen that she was testing his bottom line.
'Myria or Lereza… it seems that they're both testing my character...'
He concluded, feeling that should be the case as he took back the treasures and gestured to the others to follow him.
When Evelynn came beside him, he lightly smiled, but his smile froze as he saw her rush past him, her four spider bones extending out of her spine as she appeared behind Myria, the sharp sickles of the seventh segment curling as they slashed at Myria with an incredible speed!
*Bang!~*
However, a layer of life energy abruptly formed a spherical barrier around Myria, blocking Evelynn's attempt at killing her!
