Chapter 2184: Release Me!

Black-silver lightning crackled in the air, exuding the power of extinction as well as a heavenly might that caused all beings to be frightened and obedient. On them were a fair amount of dark crimson wisps that burned with an unbearable intensity that would cause people to feel dread from the depths of their hearts as they could be immolated to death for the greater good of the world.

Heavenly lightning and heavenly flames formed a net as it enveloped the fake Davis, disallowing him to make an attack.

However, Davis didn"t dare drop his guard as the frightening thing was that he could only reach seven levels above in prowess when using heavenly flames and heavenly lightning in tandem, but his imitation was able to reach sevens level above while just using extinction lightning and immolating flames of the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin.

However, the law suppression existed, which made it so that his imitation was unable to destroy his attacks, especially a concentrated and raw cage such as the one he created by pouring twenty percent of his essence energy to engage in a conversation.

"You f.u.c.ktard, release me!"

The imitation bellowed with a stomach full of anger, causing Davis to be taken aback as he blinked, wondering if he was really like this when suppressed to the limit. He couldn"t help but shake his head, becoming disappointed in himself.

"Don"t be so cra.s.s, my imitation. You, of all people, should know that I really like to know about myself so I can seal most weaknesses that could be gotten rid of. This kind of situation, a rare occurrence that could be called a lucky chance, couldn"t even be emulated by Heart Demons as that"s a realm of souls and not reality. However, you… I couldn"t help but think you"re real. After all, you even emulated my Tyrannical Heavenly Firestorm Physique for a short time before running out of gas as though you couldn"t maintain it..."

Davis"s eyes narrowed.

It wasn"t that this imitation couldn"t imitate his Essence Gathering Cultivation"s Physique but that it gradually dispersed as though it didn"t exist anymore while they fought tooth and nail, their heavenly lightning and heavenly flames clas.h.i.+ng with greater intensity that would"ve destroyed the outside world and caused extreme spatial fissures that would"ve swallowed hundreds of kilometers of s.p.a.ce.

Losing its physique all so suddenly was what his imitation was disgruntled about, essentially losing its cool. It wasn"t like Davis didn"t understand that feeling of being robbed of something, but as an observer, he really felt like he could perform better instead of lamenting, although he was sure that…

"Stop looking for a way out, my imitation. You don"t have Fallen Heaven, and neither do you have the Tyrannical Heavenly Firestorm Physique, so just give up and help me grow stronger..."

"…"

The imitations clenched his fists, looking at him with a blazing killing intent that made Davis make his heart skip a beat.

Was he that vengeful?

Nonetheless, he couldn"t help but shake his head, smiling that the first person with whom he shared the name of his physique was his imitation, that already knew about the name he contrived.

Paying respects to the Firestorm World Ode Manual and the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin"s Blood which made it possible for him to engulf heavenly flames and heavenly lightning with prior foundation, Davis named his physique Tyrannical Heavenly Firestorm Physique.

He had thought of using "Heavenly" as the only prefix but was against it, not wanting to do anything with the heavens but plunder it as much as he could to show it some "respect". But still, without the name "Heavenly", it didn"t sound as cool as it did, causing him to grudgingly add it. That"s why he also added "Tyrannical" as a prefix to "Heavenly" so that he may become more tyrannical than the heavens in order to suppress it.

Such aspirations were fueled by the logic of naming his physique, also making him wonder if he would be beaten down with a random heavenly punishment as well.

"Well, in that case, I"ll just plunder again..."

Nonetheless, he couldn"t help but turn to look at the barrier he created with heavenly flames and heavenly lightning, wondering if it was working well against Myria outside. Of course, he didn"t want her to hear the secrets, but he also didn"t want her to know his inner thoughts. For the past hour or so, he had trapped his imitation and was engaging in a "fruitful" conversation that edged on the brink of the altercation from constant insults and provocations.

With this Enigmatic Heart Intent, he didn"t fall for these provocations, but since his imitation was on the losing side for around an hour, it looked like it was finally losing its patience and will.

Moreover, he was sure that his lovely beauties would"ve risen up to this eighth floor and would be waiting for him by this time, so he felt that he should finish it already, turning to look at his fake that was trapped in his power.

"No… don"t…"

The imitations" expression trembled, knowing all too well what that look meant.

"You"re begging for your life now?"

Davis gawked. Would he stoop to such low if his life was at stake? Then why the h.e.l.l did he sacrifice himself instead of getting down on his knees to Soul Empress Merlight? Was it because that he had a chance to leave back then and not be in absolute despair like now?

He couldn"t understand.

"What"s wrong with begging myself for leniency? You aren"t anyone else but me! As long as you let me go, I will make sure to help you twice or thrice, even helping you survive our immortal tribulation. I"ll just recognize you as Tian Long or Davis. One of us can be the other!"

"The h.e.l.l are you talking about?"

Davis"s brows couldn"t help but twitch. How was this imitation going to go outside? Had his imitation gone insane from despair?

"You don"t understand! We"ll just find a way. Believe me, believe yourself! I am not your enemy!"

Davis couldn"t help but keep his smile, but in reality, he was heavily frowning in confusion.

The words his imitation uttered were like thunder, making him feel like he would love to have a similar thinking companion by his side. He knew himself and knew that he would rather die than shamelessly lie like this in the face of death when there is no danger to his family.

He went silent for a while, lowering his head in contemplation.

Looking at this scene, the fake Davis"s sapphire eyes flashed as though it found hope in the midst of despair. However, the fake Davis remained silent, worried about disturbing the original"s thoughts into a negative one.

Abruptly, Davis raised his head, a wry smile emerging on his face.

"You know, I really would"ve entertained your idea that"s wonderful and possibly opposed to the world master"s intentions, letting you go if you weren"t me in essence. After all, you"re going to l.u.s.t after my lovely beauties after you come out, and I won"t tolerate that even if that"s another me."

The imitation"s scalp turned numb as its eyes went wide!

"No…! You f.u.c.king womaniz-!!!"ρaꪁⅆa ꪁꪫꪚⅇ​ꪶ​

*Bang!~*

Heavenly flames and heavenly lightning converged into a sphere that was only a few inches in radius, imploding unto itself as it dealt a death blow to the imitation.

Davis dropped his hand, his expression appearing unapologetic. However, that strange feeling in his heart was p.r.i.c.king him.

"That was just an imitation, right…?"

Wondering how could his imitation could be so real as though it was him from another yet similar universe, he shook his head.

"Forget it. My love for my women is the only weakness that I can"t get rid of, and I know that myself. If I did perhaps achieve that one day, then I would probably be no longer myself but a husk of what was even worse than Tian Long."

Heaving a heavy breath, he walked towards the treasure.

The pitch-black sphere hovering in the casing was like a black hole that could swallow him whole, making him feel like his heart was going to explode from the excitement and dread of obtaining it because he had never seen such a powerful source of Death Laws.

Its pure essence left him dumbfounded, but even something like this didn"t catch Myria"s eyes, allowing him to know that her comprehension of Death Laws was much more than what it seemed to be. Shaking his head again, he took the Death Essence Orb and kept it inside his spatial ring before turning around.

"Well, I had some not-so-fun time judging myself. Time to return and push to the ninth floor..."

However, he felt like he had gained a lot of insights into Enigmatic Heart Intent, causing him to feel that this whole session was worth it than the battle itself, perhaps even the treasure if one looked at it from another perspective.

Once he neared the barrier he set up, he waved his hand, causing it to disperse as it reveled back into his body as he salvaged whatever energy he could from it. At the same time, he saw his women waiting for him as expected, causing him to smile brightly.

"What took you so long?"

Evelynn walked to him worriedly, tidying up his slightly inclined robe. Her loving care caused Davis to lean and kiss her cheek.

"I was just having a chat with my dreadful heart."

"Like husband and wife." Mingzhi threw in a comment before her expression instantly changed, "Ahh~ It makes me jealous!!! I"m also his wife, although the sixth! Yet I didn"t confront myself!"

"Ahaha~~~"

Mingzhi raged, causing the others to laugh. However, Davis was shocked as he stared at Evelynn.

ρꪖꪁⅆꪖ ꪁꪫꪚⅇ​ꪶ​ She had confronted herself?

"Excellent, Evelynn. I"m pretty sure that you had resolved some of your irregularities stemming from your blood."

"I think so…" Evelynn nodded, looking heartened on being praised and having faith.

However, Davis instantly turned to look at Mingzhi.

"Mingzhi, it"s too bad that you didn"t confront yourself."

"Why?" Mingzhi raised her brows.

"Because you might have comprehended Elementary Intent of Enigmatic Heart Laws."

"…"

Mingzhi became dumbfounded, her expression twitching before she couldn"t help but wryly smile.

"Is there a save point or something?"

"Hehem~" Davis coughed, "I haven"t learned much Time Laws yet, but even if I did, I doubt that I could return back in time."

He translated for the others, but before he could make sure that everyone who challenged the rooms was alright, especially Isabella and s.h.i.+rley, as he was worried about letting them face imitations of similar or more prowess, he turned to look at an icy-blue robed woman who stood before him, staring at him with wide eyes.

"Till I entered this Nine-Treasured Palace, I was of the opinion that you would be stupid and hopeless if you brought your women here just because you love them, but the world is unpredictable and hilarious sometimes. If you hadn"t brought them, you wouldn"t have been able to take away the treasures from these eight floors, so you have my praise."

"However, your luck ends here. Whatever immortal treasure is on the ninth floor belongs to me. I will take it without fail."

"…"

The atmosphere instantly turned solemn with Myria"s declaration, two sides glaring at each other.

Davis narrowed his brows as he stared at Myria eye to eye, measuring her words.

The lower floors had Fire, Wood, Earth, Water, Metal, the Five Elements, and the three subsequent elements of Ice, Wind, and Lightning that was said to compliment the Five Elements. The middle floors contained Light and Darkness, Yin and Yang, s.p.a.ce and Time, which are said to make up the essence of the cosmos. Subsequently, the upper floors contained the essences of Life and Death, which made the cosmos lively.

In that case... after Life and Death arrives Reincarnation, forming a complete cycle.

To them, it was obvious that they were both after the Reincarnation Essence Orb that should be on the ninth floor!
