Divine Emperor of Death

Davis's entire body started to tremble while his expression visibly shook.

With his cultivation becoming more and more powerful, he had become a mess... He was becoming sick-minded, with him still shamelessly trying to force Natalya and Evelynn into three-person dual cultivation despite their weak protests...

He dared to harm his wife, his first love, which he never thought that he would do and sinisterly took pleasure in her pain...

What else wouldn't he dare to do in the future?

"... Davis!"

A sudden call woke him up from his reverie as he turned to look at the source of the voice.

It was Evelynn again. Just this time, her eyes were gathering tears, and her expression told him that she had probably called him many times, but he had failed to react.

She bit her bottom lip and caressed his cheek, "It's not your fault, okay?"

Davis's lips quivered, "W-Why, do you even tolerate me?"

Despite all his transgressions, talking about other women in front of her, abruptly taking Natalya as his woman, boldly pursuing Princess Isabella, she still forgave him...

"Why can't I...?" Evelynn rested her face on his shoulders, "You are my everything..."

Davis's sapphire eyes visibly shook. He abruptly embraced her with his arm and held her as if he loved her dearly. He felt extremely heartened that two drops of tears fell from his eyes, splashing on her green hair.

He didn't want her to see him cry... To this woman who was entirely invested in him, he didn't want to disappoint.

At this time, the vague feeling that was long lost returned to him; the sensation of forgiveness. It was like an ocean tide that completely washed over him.

Deep inside his soul sea, Fallen Heaven abruptly reacted as the white tendrils that surrounded it started to tremble. It let out a white glow that swiftly extended outside his soul sea and his body, healing Evelynn's bruises and the marks of abuse.

Davis's eyes were wide open. He did not activate the life-like energy, but it was something else that activated it, or it was better to say that something resonated with the white tendrils of Fallen Heaven. 

This inexplicable feeling felt all the more familiar to him. He was so close to comprehending it in the past and yet was not, but now...

The feeling that was suddenly lost years ago appeared bright and radiant to him. It was as if it was eternal, and even if he didn't do anything, he felt as if this feeling would continue to linger within him, ready to be grasped into comprehension anytime.

With a figurative grasp, he instinctively knew that he could comprehend this vague power, and he did so without missing a beat...

He comprehended... the Heart Intent!

He was unable to do so in the past, but he had now comprehended it!

In a few seconds, Evelynn became completely healed while the life-like energy receded into his soul sea. Their figures lost the pure white glow, and Davis could suddenly feel her... emotions!

It was not calm, but it was soothing as if urging him to not lose faith in himself. 

Tenderness, encouragement, adoration, and perhaps even reverence. 

Her emotions constantly changed, but there was only love for him instead of the disgust he thought that she would feel... Even after what he did to her, handling her like he could whenever he wanted...

She was just hopelessly in love with him.

Davis's eyes that were wide open closed as he clenched his teeth.

These feelings were all something he could tell if he just viewed her Karma Thread, but different from observing it, the power of the Heart Intent made him directly feel her emotions! It almost made him drop a few tears while he tightly held her towards his heart.

To directly feel one's emotions. It was something he never thought he could experience. It carried a substantial weight than any words spoken because it directly came from one's heart and perhaps, the soul.

There were no words exchanged between them, but they held themselves together for some time, just feeling each other's warmness.

"No... It's been six hours! If something untoward happens to Evelynn, Davis would hate himself!" Natalya walked out of her initially assigned room with grand strides, wanting to stop Davis.

She couldn't take it anymore and felt that this should be the limit.

Even if he was still in the influence of the aphrodisiac, she was going to freeze him and bring his consciousness back! She was prepared to be punished if need be!

She arrived in front of the door and pushed it open!

*Whoosh!~*

Natalya abruptly stood stunned as a torrent of undulations abruptly hit her face! The poisonous sensation of the greenish-violet undulations brushing past her entire body made her shudder as she instinctively put up an icy shade to defend herself.

Her eyes then registered the sight of Evelynn making a breakthrough to the Law Manifestation Stage!

The Sixth Stage! Evelynn had entered the Sixth Stage in Essence, Gathering Cultivation!

Evelynn's essence energy undulations gradually receded, and the poisonous substance around her receded into her body. That was her manifestation.

Her eyelids opened, and a greenish-violet glint flashed past her eyes. However, she glanced at a person dear to her than anyone, and her lips curved into a confident and joyous smile.

Davis, who stood by the side, watched her in satisfaction and became heartened at her well-being rather than her breakthrough because manifesting the comprehension of Poison Laws was no joke.

It would've negatively affected her if she failed, and the resulting backlash, the poison would've seeped into her body, which would've jeopardized her smile.

As for her safety, he had the life-like energy to heal her back to health instantly. Although he was worried about her health, he wasn't deeply worried about that since he could easily make her recover with the life-like energy!

Natalya, who just stood there at the door, noticed that the place had already been tidied up. There were no traces of that kind of that fishy activity, leading her to doubt if they had even continued to do it after she left.

However, she recalled that Evelynn was at the very peak of Law Seed Stage and suddenly realized that Davis's yang essence helped Evelynn reach the Law Manifestation Stage. She instantly mused that his burst of lust became a boon for her!

Indeed, his yang that been energized and overpowered by the assimilation of the two drops of Earth Dragon Immortal Blood Essences allowed Evelynn a huge increase in her cultivation.

She was originally at the Peak-Level Law Seed Stage for a few months already, so her foundation upon breaking through was stable as well.

Davis smiled as he turned to look at Natalya. He raised his hand and gestured for her to come inside, but seeing that she didn't react, he called out, "Come over here..."

Natalya came out of her reverie before she saw her husband. She took a light breath and walked towards him, but she slightly lowered her head.

Just when Natalya neared the two-meter mark, Davis, who had his Heart Intent active, started to feel her emotions.

From this, he learned that Heart Intent only reacted to people who were within two meters near him. He confirmed its range, but as for other limitations such as if it would enable him to feel stronger people's emotions, he didn't know.

He would have to try that on Princess Isabella and other higher-level Soul Forging Cultivators.
