Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4005  An Empyrean Beast In Their Ranks

"Someone cleared the Abyssal Mountain Maze that existed for over eight million years? Crazy…"

Davis chuckled. He sat on a couch with Stella beside him. His hand was wrapped over her waist, and she seemed like a cat purring as she snuggled in his embrace.

He couldn't help but caress her head.

He already chided her for becoming horny in a danger zone and attacking him, which caused Vereina to be trapped.

Thinking back, he now knew the old witch waited for Vereina to be disturbed before she took over her soul. That disturbance was caused by him and Stella becoming passionate shamelessly. The old witch took advantage of that, or Vereina might've been able to resist at least a bit until she informed him.

It would've made things a whole lot easier.

Nonetheless, after he chided Stella gently, he spent two whole days with her, pounding her every few hours.

In this session, he understood how to stop her yang-draining tendency, which would leave him completely dry, so he was in control the whole time.

It made Stella completely tame that he knew she would no longer try to devour him. She was just a tree, after all. Her instinct was to drain any nutrients to the max until she was full. She also tended to fall into a reproductive stupor.

Davis loved her with all of it, but Stella also promised not to be hasty next time as she understood her mistakes.

"Who knows?" Suddenly, a woman sitting opposite to him said, "It was said that no treasure was found there after the Vacuous Beasts have been taken care of, so they're all disappointed. It is unknown if someone took it or it never existed in the first place."

"Really?" Davis turned to look at Lea.

She had just returned from collecting information from the branch of the Opulent Shell Company integrated with Metenoa's intelligence network.

He was willing to praise Taiwu and Metenoa for being hardworking. They were following Mingzhi and Lea's plans to the letter. With that, they were able to easily gain information without accidentally blowing alarms. Lea only needed one trip to the branch of the Opulent Shell Company, and now she could contact them with a messaging talisman to get more information and ensure their transmission line was secure.

"Yes." Lea nodded, "I personally think someone did complete it though- someone who went to the Three-Headed Hydra Lower Realm way back after meeting us."

"Zenova…"

Davis nodded, "If it's her, there's a high likelihood of it. She just consumed the pill Myria, Tina, and Dalila made from the Infinity Iris Orchid, a Space-Time Law Treasure at the Empyrean Grade. Her ability to traverse space-time anomalies would've significantly increased, and considering how smart she is, I know she's capable of completing the Abyssal Mountain Maze that's teeming with Vacuous Beasts. In fact, she's the only one I can think of who is capable of clearing a danger zone that doesn't let anyone whose base prowess is above Level Four Empyrean Stage enter."

"You seem to have a high opinion of her." Lea couldn't help but smile.

Davis chuckled, "I always had a high opinion of her as a cultivator. I just don't approve of the way she does things, but that's personal and not something that would retract her ability to get things done."

He turned to look at another woman who was seated beside Lea.

It was none other than Illumina.

One other thing Davis did was make her King-Tier, and she went along with Lea. After they found a suitable spot, Illumina ate the dark feline feral beast's carcass and made a breakthrough to the Empyrean Beast Stage.

Her bloodline evolved, and she was no longer a Lunar Blackclaw Rabbit but a much more powerful rabbit.

Davis smiled at her, "Your King-Tier undulations are quite unstable. I'll purify your bloodline soon."

"Many thanks, master~"

Illumina cupped her hands and lowered her head.

She was extremely honored and felt empowered, her gaze containing intense determination and confidence.

She had finally reached the Empyrean Beast Stage, and her prowess made her feel fanatical. All this was thanks to the person before her. She couldn't help but look at him with adoration in her eyes.

"…" Nôv(el)B\\jnn

But Davis had other thoughts in his mind.

As Illumina had her head lowered, he looked at her gleaming silver hair. It had become more lustrous, shimmering under the light. But that wasn't what attracted his attention. It was her flailing big rabbit ears that appeared like it had a life on its own.

Occasionally, they stood upright or drooped, which was cute. He badly wanted to touch them and feel them in his hands, but he forcefully suppressed that emotion.

He even knew she had a small rabbit tail bun behind, which he also wanted to-

Davis lightly shook his head.

He knew magical beasts would no longer be able to take full human form in the Empyrean Beast Stage and above. They were like pure-blooded feys now, having the most desirable traits that would allow them to easily get mates, making them aesthetically pleasing. Biology stood like a king here.

Her eyes were also a pair of cold sapphire gems gleaming with the power of yin.

Because she was still King-Tier, there was a reflective jade-black crescent mark on her forehead, symbolizing her deep connection with the Lunar Reverence. Moreover…

"Nethermoon Mirage Rabbit… to think you mutated into a rare species after eating that feline feral beast from the Shadow Dimension…" Davis uttered.

The Nethermoon Mirage Rabbit was spotted as something living in the Nether Dimension. If Illumina had normally evolved, she would've become an Eclipse Shadowtail Rabbit. It was a primary species living in one of the Upper Realms and was extremely fast and strong.

But now, Illumina has become a Nethermoon Mirage Rabbit.

This made him think the Shadow Dimension was connected to the Nether Dimension. One was a Minor Dimension, and the other a Major Dimension.

One other Minor Dimension he knew was the Crystal Dimension in which the Candidacy took place. It made him wonder what kind of Major Dimension it derived from.

'Are Minor Dimensions perhaps a mix and match of multiple Major Dimensions with less authority over the universe…?' Davis wondered.

"It's all because of your benevolent deeds, master~"

Illumina remained humble and behaved courteously, a far cry from her previous berserk or cold state that came from years of imprisonment.

"No need to be modest." Lea reached out her hand and patted Illumina's shoulder, "You have become strong enough to stand on an equal footing with us. We will need your help from now on."

Illumina turned and nodded firmly with a light smile, "I will do my best to protect this family, mistress Lea. This life of mine is dedicated to bringing glory to the Davis Family."

"Oh, you…"

Lea was moved.

She was aware that Illumina had lived her whole life serving the Lunarisse Empire and had now transferred the entirety of that loyalty to Davis. She had never seen such a loyal rabbit, making her feel embarrassed instead since she felt like she must devote herself more to Davis as his wife and set an even better example.

"Lea, what came about our actions to save Illumina?" Davis suddenly asked.
