Chapter 1645 - Increased Abilty

*Paah!~* *Paah!~* *Paah!~*

Soon, all hundred slaps were completed, and Soul Emperor"s cheeks had swelled to the point where it made him look like a deformed fatty. It could be seen that Soul Emperor Elusivemist didn"t hold back in slapping himself. However, it was also true that he knew the consequences of doing as he was told, which is death or even a fate worse than it, as he did not know the methods of Emperor of Death.

On the other hand, looking at the kneeling slave, Davis took steps forward and contemptuously looked down on him.

"I didn"t ask you to introduce me to other women, nor did I tell you to bring them to warm my bed. As a Soul Emperor who saw through many people, you should"ve known what you could do and what you could not do, and yet, you dare go against my wishes to remain anonymous and have Yotan dragged into this?"

Soul Emperor Elusivemist"s lips quivered as if wanting to say something but didn"t dare to.

"Don"t say that you purely wanted to please me because I know that you had implanted a hex inscription on Yotan."

"...!"

"And although I"m curious how you did it, I bet that you gave her a secretly blighted pill, telling her that it might be useful to breakthrough into the Emperor Soul Stage way before I even entered the scene?"

Hearing Davis"s words, Soul Emperor appeared aghast, appearing to have been greatly shaken as his heart skipped a beat because what Davis said was really similar to what he did!

"I always wondered why it was Yotan and not Threelotus, and it turns out it was because of this hex inscription."

Davis sneered with a disgusted expression on his face before he shed more light.

"In reality, you were plotting to give Yotan to Soul Emperor Zealwonder and later take over the Soul Palace a long time later as all the Soul Emperors are out of the game, weren"t you, you snake?"

"Master, I-"

*Paah!~*

"Shut your mouth! Did I tell you to talk?"

Davis gave a powerful slap that almost twisted Soul Emperor Elusivemist"s neck. The latter shook greatly in dizziness as if wandering between life and death before he regained himself after an unknown time.

Soul Emperor Elusivemist never felt so sick and humiliated in his entire life, but the fear was more, making him forgot about his pride as he lowered his head.

"You know how to behave and conduct yourself from here on out, right?"

"Yes... master."

Soul Emperor Elusivemist could only fumblingly reply.

"You call me master, but you don"t seem to understand that I"m truly your master. Is that right?"

"No...!" Soul Emperor furiously shook his head as if his life depended on it, "I wholeheartedly understand my life and death is for my master to decide!"

"Good." Davis"s cold expression faded, replaced with a deep smile, "Now cripple yourself."

"Huh?"

Soul Emperor Elusivemist"s thoughts froze for a moment.

"Don"t get me wrong, Elusivemist. I"m not asking you to cripple your main cultivation or Body Tempering Cultivation. Just cripple your Essence Gathering Cultivation, and I"ll bestow you a pardon."

"Or, you can die."

Davis raised his hand and clenched when Soul Emperor Elusivemist suddenly began to float as his scalp turned numb.

"There"s no time given for you."

Soul Emperor Elusivemist helplessly trembled under the enslavement of the slave seal before he swung his hand and stabbed into his abdomen.

*Crack!~*

*Pui!~*

He ended up destroying his own dantian, causing him to spit a mouthful of blood on the clean surface while his Mid-Level Law Rune Stage Cultivation was all dissipating in the air.

Soul Emperor Elusivemist"s gaze became lifeless as he saw his hard-earned cultivation leave just like that, reaped by his own hands under a forceful command.

"Hmph."

Davis merely harrumphed.

He was waiting for the day he found evidence on Elusivemist"s secretly working against him, and he did find one through Yotan.

In truth, it wasn"t him who found the hex inscription but Evelynn, who was sensitive to hexes. Apparently, it was like a reactive curse, activating upon him if he were to ever dual cultivate with Yotan, causing him to succ.u.mb and die to it as it used Yotan"s life as its source to fuel its ability to attach to him with strong intent.

At first, Evelynn didn"t notice it, but as Yotan was reporting to Evelynn face to face sometimes, Evelynn eventually noticed and told Davis, after which he finally understood Soul Emperor Elusivemist"s strange actions.

When he checked Yotan himself, he still couldn"t find it in her soul sea, but it suddenly dawned on him. It was in her chast.i.ty, her hymen, that possessed her primal yin essence. Therefore, no matter who dual cultivated with her, they would end up dead or deathly sick for people of his level.

However, even if he had dual cultivated with Yotan, he knew that that sinister hex wouldn"t have been able to harm him with his life and death energy capable of severing it. Therefore, such schemes didn"t work on him, but it ultimately ruined Yotan"s life in the end as it would"ve killed her, using her as its additional source of energy to tie him since she would have intimate access to his body and perhaps even the soul at that point.

Dual cultivation definitely wasn"t a matter that should be looked down upon as it even involved the arts of killing. If he didn"t have life and death energy and was a womanizer who casually slept with women, he wouldn"t have his life at this moment. Therefore, he was still p.i.s.sed off and commanded his slave Elusivemist to cripple himself.

"You can leave, but don"t ever test my patience again."

Davis uttered with a bit of disgust.

Using and taking advantage of innocent women to climb up in status or cultivation was one of the worst things to do in his books. He wanted to kill this b.a.s.t.a.r.d, but circ.u.mstances dictated that he keep him alive for the time being. Since he was his slave, Davis felt that Soul Emperor Elusivemist was no different than a puppet to him.

On the other hand, Soul Emperor Elusivemist lifelessly nodded and left, his footsteps faltering every few steps before he began to fly his way out.

At this moment, Yotan emerged from the shadows, shedding tears without making a sound. She went on one knee and lowered her head, taking a deep breath as she sniffled.

"I, Yotan, swear to serve master till the end of my life with loyalty and integrity. I won"t forget this favor master has shown me."

Her trembling voice echoed with full of emotion, causing Davis to nod, but he didn"t say anything.

His focus was on gaining a loyal follower in the Soul Palace, and to that end, he knocked her out and used life energy to heal her from the curse of the hex inscription imprinted in her body. Of course, Yotan showed an awry reaction as if something was amiss when she woke up, checking herself to the edge before she calmed down and noticed that she didn"t feel the hex she later identified with the help of Evelynn.

As for Evelynn, it was a great experience for her to learn about other hexes. She also used the Poison Lord"s spatial ring to learn more hex techniques, although she was finding it hard to comprehend, perhaps because her Hex Laws were not intrinsically connected to a wide sea of Karma Laws like the Poison Lord"s but were off only three hexes, namely Sealing, Collapsing and Poison.

Nevertheless, after she swore her loyalty to him in the truest form after witnessing the events, Yotan left.

Davis heaved a sigh, abruptly curving his lips as he inwardly spoke.

"Fallen Heaven, looks like your karmic prowess has extremely improved that you can now control people without having to kill, huh?"

"Full control is impossible." Fallen Heaven"s voice echoed in him, "Moreover, the controlling factor hasn"t changed much other than the fact that I don"t have to kill anymore to control. Compared to the power you termed as Misdirection that can attract a person"s attention, I"d say that this is slightly more powerful on a wider scale. That"s all."

"True, I have to be precise and conscious if I were to use this in a battle that ends in split seconds or face death otherwise if I miscalculate, but it"s you we"re talking about. Who knows how you"ll twist fate, ending up killing me instead?"

"I don"t do that..." Fallen Heaven reb.u.t.ted.

"You do..."

"I don"t."

"Okay, whatever."

Davis shrugged as he smirked in a teasing manner before he grinned for prevailing, knowing that the Vast Sky Emperor should"ve received heavy injuries from the man he low-key manipulated.

Using Soul Emperor Elusivemist to commission an a.s.sa.s.sination mission at a low cost, Davis used Fallen Heaven"s controlling might or karmic prowess after a long time and caused Hidden Night Emperor to kill the Vast Sky Emperor"s and ensure his death. However, it appeared as if though the Hidden Night Emperor failed to kill and almost ended up dead, escaping in the end, although it was said the Vast Sky Emperor also became severely injured.

With this, Davis believed that he didn"t create a large ripple in the workings of fate, which would not lead to a situation like the last time where he killed Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross only to have his unknown granny pop up from nowhere.

"As promised, Isabella. I stay put but made that Vast Trash Emperor suffer as he should."

Davis couldn"t help but keep grinning as he continued to absorb content.
