Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1748: Friction

Chapter 1748: Friction


The Mandate Emperor and Karmic Guardian Emperor looked at each other after hearing the Emperor of Death"s demand, appearing to be equally confused and a bit shaken.


However, the Mandate Emperor quickly calmed and returned his glance to Davis as his lips moved.


"Emperor of Death, you did say that you want to learn Mandate Laws before, but you can"t just come in and demand us like that."


"True, I do not even know why Emperor of Death wants to obtain my Heaven Gazing Sect"s techniques and manuals. I didn"t think the Emperor of Death would be hilarious so much that I forgot that he was still a youth."


The Karmic Guardian Emperor laughed, causing the Mandate Emperor to smile as well.


Davis also smiled together with them while Nadia remained indifferent. He reached out his hand to take the teacup that the Mandate Emperor filled before he took a sip again.


"What makes you two think I"m kidding?"


The two of them stopped with their smiles as they solemnly looked at Davis. The Mandate Emperor placed his teacup on the table before he narrowed his eyes.


"What is this, Emperor of Death? This is a roguish behavior not acceptable to our righteous path. Have we done any wrong to you?"


"Heh..."


Davis sneered, "As if eyeing my "widowed" wife didn"t seem wrong to you two."


"That is-"


"Look," The Mandate Emperor spoke again when Davis cut him short, "I"m an extremely possessive person. What"s mine is mine, and what"s yours is yours. However, since you dared to infringe upon what"s mine, then I will unceremoniously take what belongs to you, at most cases, your very own life."


"No!" The Karmic Guardian Emperor shook his head, "We didn"t have that kind of interaction with the Earth Dragon Queen. It was all Vast Sky Emperor"s doing."


Davis turned to look at the Karmic Guardian Emperor whose expression appeared self-righteous.


"And if he had failed, you two might"ve made a move regardless. The only saving grace was the statements you uttered that day, but even then, I remember the Karmic Guardian Emperor uttering that he deserves my "widowed" wife the least. If that isn"t a sick intention towards my Isabella, then what is it?"


Davis narrowed his eyes with a threatening look, which caused the Karmic Guardian Emperor"s heart to tremble. However, he clenched his teeth and fought back.


"Emperor of Death, I won"t take back my words. Since you were p.r.o.nounced dead, then do you expect your widowed wife to wallow in sorrow instead of finding happiness with another cultivation companion?"


"Yes."


Davis"s eyes were sharply cold as he answered.


"Ha! What a good husband...!"


The Karmic Guardian Emperor sneered as he raised his head and drank a mouthful of tea, appearing as if he was exasperated.


Davis"s indifferent expression suddenly cracked a smile.


"I heard the Karmic Guardian Emperor have three lovely wives who all have equal status. Very good. I admire that. However, what if you were to die the next day, and I seduce them two days later, making love with them on the same bed you made love with them as I hold them close and inser-"


"Pfft! You...!?"


The Karmic Guardian Emperor spat out the tea sideways and stood up as he pointed at Davis, looking extremely angered as his white hair swayed in the air, his powerful undulations wavering with fury and black starry eyes appearing to have become hostile.


"What?" Davis raised his brows with a wide smile, "Didn"t you die? Why do you care about who your three lovely wives make love with after you die, huh?"


"...!"


The Karmic Guardian Emperor"s cheeks almost turned green as his expression appeared stifled. His clenched fists looked that they were about to be thrown at Davis as they trembled, making it apparent that he was going to lose his cool.


At the same time, Nadia"s hand slightly moved towards the Karmic Guardian Emperor when suddenly another forceful voice echoed.


"Enough with the hypocritical notions to gain a moral high ground, Karmic Guardian Emperor. The people you love aren"t easily forgettable just because you die. If that was the case, spectral souls and reincarnated characters would easily let go of their hatred towards their past enemies and lovers."


The Mandate Emperor stated with narrowed eyes at the Karmic Guardian Emperor, indicating for him to stand down. The stifled Karmic Guardian Emperor appeared offended, yet, there was nothing he could do as he slowly sat back and looked away.


"Hmph! You can"t bully me or my power just because I am a bit weaker. If it weren"t for me and my ancestors" foretelling abilities, the righteous path wouldn"t have survived long enough to be this glorious."


"Do I look like I care?"


Davis almost rolled his eyes while his eyes widened.


Perhaps, if it weren"t for this righteous path"s thorough cleansing together with Soul Palace"s tight control over Soul Forging Cultivation manuals, he would have more souls to reap as he could"ve had unhesitatingly targeted wicked people who would offend him.


The Mandate Emperor took his eyes off the Karmic Guardian Emperor before he clasped his hands towards Davis.


"Emperor of Death, you have my sincere apologies. What I was about to do was wrong. But, asking for my Heaven Mandate Temple"s techniques and manuals are too much that I won"t have any face left to face my ancestors after ascendance if I gave them away. However, I have created two techniques in my life and am willing to offer those two techniques in order to appease you. They are at Peak-Level Emperor Grade and can even be learned by Law Dominion Stage Experts. However, that Law Dominion Stage Expert should be at the apex of Elementary Intent of Mandate Laws. Otherwise, no matter how hard they try, they wouldn"t be able to comprehend."


As the Mandate Emperor spoke, he took out two scrolls which he then unceremoniously placed on the table in front of Davis, gesturing for him to take it.


Davis took a look at the description of the techniques and was fairly moved, although he understood nothing as he read how to use the technique as it concerned the Mandate Laws but still understood how to drive the energy which most people who reached the Law Dominion Stage can comprehend.


He unceremoniously threw the scrolls inside his spatial ring and glanced at the golden-eyed man with a smile.


"The Mandate Emperor is truly commendable. However, the Karmic Guardian Emperor seems to be still reluctant to be sincere."


"You...! You are a sly ba-"


The Karmic Guardian Emperor who pointed at Davis suddenly shut his mouth as killing intent emerged from the pale-white-skinned woman with magnificent purples eyes. He slowly took his hand back and banged the table, looking at it with killing intent that the table made from a Peak-Level Emperor Grade wood began to tremble from his heavy aura.


Davis merely took another sip from the cup of tea with a poised stance before he spoke.


"A pity I don"t have the heart to forgive who refuses to admit their mistakes." His eyes became colder by the second as he glanced at the Karmic Guardian Emperor, "Seems like I must-"


"Fine! I"ll give you my karmic techniques of a similar level."


The Karmic Guardian Emperor reluctantly spat out of his mouth.


However, Davis shook his head.


"It"s not enough."


"What?"


The Karmic Guardian Emperor swiveled his head in Davis"s direction as his eyes went wide, witnessing the Emperor of Death shaking his head.


"Don"t blame me. Blame your impertinent mouth. In any case, I"ll give you some time to think, so think carefully before you give me your answer."


Davis contemptuously looked at the Karmic Guardian Emperor before he turned to look at the Mandate Emperor.


"Have you heard about the Transcendent Truth Eyes?"


"What...?"


The Mandate Emperor looked confused as to why Davis would suddenly bring this term up. Besides, why change the topic when they were on a serious note?


"My Alstreim Family has a bit of record on Transcendent Truth Eyes, so I learned that the owner of this physique has the capability to learn Mandate Laws and became curious."


Surprisingly, even the All-Seeing Towers had just a little more information on the Transcendent Truth Eyes than the Alstreim Family and the other powers, making him want to learn more from the power that concentrated on such laws.


Hearing Davis"s words, the Mandate Emperor nodded his head.


"Certainly, we were the ones who spread a bit of information on it. After all, we secretly hope to seek out the person with this unique physique and hopefully recruit them. Without a doubt, they would be treated with the highest privilege, equivalent to an Honorable Elder or even me!"


Davis raised his brows as if he was astonished, acting like he couldn"t help but ask.


"What"s so great about it?"


"The Transcendent Truth Eyes can see through the truth of all things born into existence. It is not merely something that enables the person to comprehend Mandate Laws, but it is also a self-evolving physique that breaks into the Immortal Stage with ease as long as the person keeps comprehending Mandate Laws, practically receiving no heavenly tribulation."


"What!?"
