Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1820 - Trials?

Chapter 1820 - Trials?

Davis raised both of his hands and struck out against a terrifying, ten-meter-long arrow. It was more like a ballistic siege arrow that shot towards him from the darkness with immense speed, burning and electrifying the pathway with its flames and lightning.

Copious amounts of death energy poured out and struck the big arrow when it neared him, causing the attacks to explode upon touch. However, s.p.a.ce didn't cave to his surprise, but the intensity of the explosion was suppressed instead. Death energy rushed out to completely extinguish the explosion, further accentuating his power.

"Really can't underestimate the power of an immortal inheritor's tomb. Haha…"

Davis laughed lightly. If he hadn't invoked Fallen Heaven's black tendrils and used its death energy, it would've been very difficult for him to survive this one. This tomb sure did have a grasp of his true strength before attacking, making him understand again that its formations were top-notch than he expected. It actually forced him to come out of concealment, after all.

*Brrum!~*

"f.u.c.k, you're still firing at me?"

Davis's expression became hostile as he saw another wave of fire and lightning conjured at him in the form of an arrow. He clenched his teeth as his figure became shrouded in pitch-black darkness as his blonde hair swayed in the air. His aura went through a sudden change that people who knew him would find it hard to recognize him as Davis.

*Whoos.h.!.+~*

He shot into the narrow pathway and pointed at the burning and crackling arrow with his finger.

*Whizz!~*

A ray of death energy instantly surged out from the tip of his finger with concentrated death energy that traveled all the way from his soul sea to his neck, shoulder, arm, wrist, and hand, connecting many meridian points into one single pathway, having the energy burst out with intensity as it shot straight towards the terrifying arrow and struck it.

*Booom!~*

The intensity of the explosion rocked the surface of the tomb, making him feel like this particular part of the area was going to collapse, but it certainly didn't and ended up suppressing the explosion again as though it was a tomb-wide formation.

'Even the pathway is ridiculously strong and enduring. Is this entire tomb made out of immortal grade or near-immortal grade ores or something!?'

Davis felt exasperated as he could see another big volley of energy forming in the distance, obviously intending to get rid of him for good as though it had no intentions to leave him alive after surviving a few hits.

With his finger that was pointed straight at it, he fired Death Ray again as an immense amount of death energy concentrated to a point rushed out of his finger.

*Boom!~*

The fire and lightning energy volley instantly shattered upon colliding with the Death Ray. However, a few seconds later, potent energy began gathering again.

"Since you won't stop, don't blame me if I destroy the formation..."

Davis shot a third Death Ray where it traveled straight and punctured through the hole in the wall where energy was seeping from, causing that two types of energy to gather at one point as the death energy collapsed the internal workings of the formation before it caused it to explode.

*Boom!~*

The wall came cras.h.i.+ng down this time, although s.p.a.ce still seemed stable.

Davis arrived at the end of the stairs before he saw a flight of stairs leading upwards. He wondered if there were traps above but still didn't hesitate to step forward and head deep inside. However, he stopped for a moment, checked the destroyed formation amidst the broken wall, and found that it was connected through a formation flag that acted as a conduit for providing energy for the formation instead of a core.

He wondered where the energy source could be. Clearly, to power up this ridiculous formation, the energy should be equal, which meant…

'Possibly, an immortal-grade spirit stone whose capability I don't know is driving the formations of this tomb or at least a thousand Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources...'

Davis couldn't think of anything else for this killing formation to be chunking out this kind of terrifying power. With this fire and lightning arrow alone, any power outside would be invincible, and it asked him the question why most powers didn't bother to have these kinds of formations with them, and then, the answer came to him that they could probably have but are unable to use it because of the scarcity of resources.

Thousand Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources? Who had that much?

Or, it was entirely because the other immortal inheritors didn't bother to place such strong formations in their tombs and decided two or three levels higher was enough?

Clearly, the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal was one of the most relatively recent immortals to have found an inheritor in these layers before Earth Dragon Immortal and Phoenix Immortals since it still had its remnant hovering between life and death, on the verge of fading. This line of thought made him understand that it was only this Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal's Inheritor and perhaps, a few others left such strong formations.

After all, this killing formation was overkill for almost all the beings in this place, further strengthening his thought that the inheritor had an ulterior motive in their mind, most probably wanting to have immortal slaves in the future with their careful planning and setting.

Davis kept thinking about the intricacies while walking the flight of stairs that increasingly came to possess an overbearing aura at him, the aura of the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin. Nevertheless, without even shuddering or flinching once, he arrived at the end and saw a beautiful image of the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin.

With four legs and hooves carved in burning dark crimson flames, its entire scaled-body colored in blue crackled with black-colored lightning, making it appear like an incarnation of destruction.

Two big yet sleek horns adorned its head, and each of its colors adopted to the color of its eyes, black and blazing red, while the mane over its neck seemed orange or crimson and a yellowish-gold in color, making it appear incredibly majestic.

The realistic image of the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin made Davis smile because he was going to follow in its footsteps, so in his mind, it better be at least good like this, or he wouldn't find it worth it to train!

He pushed open the gates and entered, whereupon he quickly saw a grand twenty-meter tall monument with carved characters.

[Welcome, outer disciple. To receive the treasures I placed here, you must go through three of my trials and prove to me that you're worthy of my Blazing Thunder Sect. As soon as you pa.s.s the three trials, consume the blood essences and become an immortal, approach me, and you will automatically be rewarded the status of an inner disciple and perhaps, even a personal disciple if your talent or strength matches mine.]

[I'm sure much time has pa.s.sed since I left for the immortal world since I had this tomb awaken along with the hidden fruits only after a hundred thousand years had pa.s.sed. Therefore, I'm awaiting your presence with expectations, so don't fail or disappoint me.]

[The first trial challenges you in testing your offensive strength. If your power is not even the least bit destructive, how are you talented or even worthy to wield the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin's fire? Or, even it's lightning if you are capable? Touch this monument, and you shall be taken to a pocket s.p.a.ce where you'll battle an opponent a level higher than your prowess, not your cultivation base. All you should do is try to kill your opponent within full ten minutes, which should be possible considering your opponent has tranquil energy and would not attack you.]

[Once you pa.s.s, you'll be given access to the two other trial monuments ahead and finally, the treasury you've been waiting for all your life ever since you obtained the Inflamed Kirin Cherry Fruit.]

Davis read all that with wide eyes, having so much to ponder on. However, his lips moved as he raised his hand.

"f.u.c.k you. I'm not partic.i.p.ating in this s.h.i.+t..."

*Boom!~*

A ray of death energy shot towards the monument as it punctured a hole into it, causing it to simultaneously explode into smithereens! However, a ray of light suddenly shot out, causing Davis to narrow his eyes as it was approaching him!
