Divine Emperor of Death

Davis continued to invigorate the strands of lightning for a month without taking a single break as he simultaneously refined the soul essences in his soul sea to replenish his soul force. However, due to his soul force becoming way more powerful, the tons of High-Level Lord Beast Stage Soul Essences he had ended up all being digested.

Now, he was running on low fuel, and soon, it would be only fumes that come out when he tries to use his soul force.

'Please become awake within this last spurt of my soul force reserve, oh, Blazing Thunderlight Kirin!' Davis inwardly pleaded as he felt that he was at his limit.

However, he didn't know how many times he thought of like this, making him rethink that if he should've entered the King Soul Stage before trying this again.

Yet, there was a valid reason over why he didn't enter the King Soul Stage. It was because he didn't want this so-called Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal to become unsure about him the same way the Earth Dragon Immortal did.

Supreme Soul Stage might still save him from much scrutiny but being at the King Soul Stage means that he would become extremely suspicious than the Earth Dragon Immortal did, not realizing that his soul was only a bit older and that he was not an old monster. He felt that he would like to take his chances while being at this stage, but if it proves to be impossible to stimulate these strands of lightning at this current pace, then he had no choice but to enter the King Soul Stage because he had little time to waste.

However, the comprehension of Supreme Soul Stage was something that he had not fully comprehended and hadn't even resonated much yet, making him feel something might go wrong even though he generally didn't feel like anything would happen.

In a place where he lacked a mentor, and his path in Soul Forging Cultivation was vastly different from all cultivators because of Fallen Heaven, he just didn't want to mess up his upper dantian.

Furthermore, he had collected the resources for a particular pill that enables him to enter a strange state to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth with a bit of ease, but he didn't know if that bit of ease would allow him to comprehend peak-level insights in the Supreme Soul Stage. If it did, it would allow him to cultivate smoothly and without the worry of it suddenly bursting apart like a balloon. 

The soul was a fragile entity that he had to be careful of. Otherwise, even Drake wouldn't have said to him to go slow when dual cultivating while practicing Soul Forging Cultivation. According to Drake, they could literally die from pleasure. 

Besides, he had read numerous records of people damaging their souls while trying to quickly increase it, so he didn't want to follow in their footsteps.

Although he had the recipe for the pill and enough soul force to properly concoct the pill multiple times, he still had yet to become a Peak-Level King Grade Alchemist. He had given that job to the Solitary Soul Avatar, so the last time he had reconnected with it, it had become a High-Level King Grade Alchemist.

The Solitary Soul Avatar didn't use the records from the people he had killed and plundered in this sealed space but used the alchemical records maintained in the Alstreim Family to get to the High-Level King Grade Alchemist. The amount of content he had to learn and understand was enormous, but with his massive soul force, it was relatively easy, making him comprehend all of the content between Low-Level and High-Level King Grade Alchemist in a few months time.

It had been eight months since he had left the Alstreim Family and six months since he had entered this sealed space, so it only took about four months for the Solitary Soul Avatar to become a High-Level King Grade Alchemist, and it was nearing the Peak-Level King Grade Alchemy in the following two months, currently absorbing its content at a fast pace with Davis's current soul prowess.

Therefore, he only had to wait a bit for him to perfectly concoct that pill and consume it so that he could enjoy its full efficacy without even losing a bit of it. He felt that might help him comprehend the peak-level insights of the heaven and earth that he required.

*Brrr!~*

Abruptly, the words of lightning began to hum in a strange tune, causing Davis to come out of his reverie. His body quickly moved as he waved his hand and erased the traces of the life-like energy before he retreated back to a safe distance along with Nadia, who had guarded him for a whole month, only leaving to meet once with Ezekiel Alstreim at the entrance that was above to receive his answer.

Davis's heart was stuck in his throat as he saw that the dull blue-colored words of lightning abruptly started to change color, becoming pristine black as they began to conjoin with one and another before they exploded into flames and began to evaporate, vaguely forming into the head of a dragon with two horns! 

'Holy shit! Holy shit! It's really manifesting...!' 

Although Davis had hoped it would be the case, when it really did happen, he was unable to keep calm that he became overly excited for a moment before he promptly calmed himself down as he looked at the lightning that became more and more apparent as seconds passed by.

Only the head that looks similar to a blue-colored dragon could be seen while both its pupils appeared to have different colors, one black and another blazing red. Its two horns on both sides of its head, seemingly penetrating the heavens, also possessed the same color of the eyes, but the mane that aligned the back of its head seemed orangy and a bit yellow in color along with its whiskers extending from its elongated dragon-like face.

"Mhm...?" A sound of doubt echoed, causing Davis to keep his breathing in check.

"What is this? Did I forget to disperse my remnant soul again? I'm such a lazy kirin..."

"Sigh..."

As it spoke with a lazy yet magnetic voice, its eyes suddenly caught sight of the human and the magical beast behind him.

However, Davis, who should've reacted with a bit of nervousness, had his eyes wide while his facial expression looked disappointed and disheartened. 

Disperse its remnant soul? Doesn't that mean... that it didn't need to stay, most likely because that the Immortal Inheritance was already inherited by someone else?

"Kid, you have come too late for you to participate in the trial. It is long gone..."

As if confirming his fears, the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal spoke, causing his expression to turn into one of disappointment as he took deep breaths to calm himself down.

"Zeze~ I can understand your disappointment, but this is strange..." The Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal suddenly chuckled before it uttered, "I remember dozing off instead of dispersing myself after that lad cleared the trial. I clearly gave him a part of my kirin soul, so after I fell into a slumber, this remnant soul of mine should've disappeared in less than a million years, but I didn't and even has a bit of energy to manifest again. How could this be?"

It narrowed its eyes and deeply looked at Davis, causing him to inwardly sweat. It was time for him to escape since it had nothing to offer. He didn't want it to know about Fallen Heaven's powers, although he doubted that it could find Fallen Heaven because the Earth Dragon Immortal had already failed to find Fallen Heaven within his soul sea.

"Could this be... fate?" Its eyes widened, causing Davis to severely nod his head.

"That must be it...!" He echoed, afraid that it might change its mind.

"Maybe it is, maybe it is not..." The Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal uttered in a confused tone, "But lad, since you were blessed by the heavens to be here at this very moment I woke up out of slumber, I guess that I can do something to reward you with, so don't resist~"

*Bzzz!~*

A strand of lightning and fire shot towards him that Davis's muscles turned stiff from both trying to dodge and stay in one place. That moment of hesitation was enough for the strand of lightning and fire to pierce through his forehead and enter his soul sea before 

"Davis!" Nadia worriedly echoed out as her expression changed.

Davis raised his hand at that very moment, indicating her not to worry while his eyes were wide with excitement. Numerous information flashed past his mind, but it stayed, not leaving from the depths of his mind as if it were etched deep into him, never to forget.

[Blazing Thunderlight Kirin's Firestorm World Ode]

An Immortal Grade Cultivation Manual popped out in his mind, causing him to inwardly scream in ecstasy as it was a fire and lightning attributed cultivation manual as he had expected! 

It had all the details he needed to cultivate it, a complete Immortal Grade Manual that also contained the records from the Mortal Grade to the Immortal Grade. It was tailor-made for humans!

"Zeze~ I can see that you're dumbstruck as well as way over ecstatic to say any kinds of words that even a word of gratitude failed to appear." The Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal chuckled.

"I, Davis Loret, thanks Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal for this favor."

After hearing its words, Davis came out of his reverie and offered thanks as he cupped his hands and slightly bowed.

'Damn, not even a soul check or asking for my name... This Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal is either magnanimous or carefree...!' He inwardly thought but still felt lucky that he even had a chance to get something of a cleared Immortal Inheritance.

Fortunately, it seemed like he hadn't wasted time!
