Chapter 247 - Conclusion I
Using all three law runes engraved on the sword i.e., suppression, darkness, and the newly formed strength, Davion easily defeated Joziah with a single swing of his sword. This shocked everyone, making them awe of his strength.
He then took away the vein of the city and consumed it. In a similar fashion, he started conquering the nearby cities one after another, demonstrating his power and prestige.
However, this created dissatisfaction and fear among the devil emperors, forcing them to join hands. Despite that, it was still not enough to defeat Davion who had already reached level 45.
In this way, the name of the Heavenly Demon God becomes famous in the outer region of the Devil World. Even the apostles of the Heavenly Demon Sect were alerted.
During this time, he also investigated the golden devil skulls, hoping to find the remaining ones. But it was all in vain as nobody knew their location. Nonetheless, he managed to gather more information about it.
A Devil Sovereign who specialized in clones had left behind this inheritance, thousands of years ago. Once all skulls were collected, a secret realm would descend. However, nobody was able to confirm it as it was difficult to find them in this vast world. That's why Conard must have used them as weapons instead of indispensable treasures.
Unknowingly two months passed away and his territory had become exceptionally large. And one day, unexpectedly, a letter of invitation from Blossom City arrived for him.
He was surprised as it was from the city that was thrice as big as Colossal City and extremely rich in resources. Furthermore, it was closer to one of the Holy Lands and quite a distance away from his current location.
Thus, he became puzzled and decided to collect information first before making a move. Mobilizing his troops, he learned that a new Devil Emperor had replaced the previous emperor of Blossom City.
It is said that she is a descendent of a powerful force in the Holy Land. Knowing her powerful background, he felt terrified, not knowing what to do. While his mind was in a mess, he received more such letters. They were all from the cities near to the holy lands and their leaders all had powerful backgrounds like the one in Blossom City.
Carrying out more investigation, he learned that these devil emperors were sent out to battle among each other and prove who is worthy of becoming the next successor of their respective forces.
So, he finally realized why the Holy Lands never bothered to conquer the outer region. It seemed like they considered the outer region as a training place for their descendants to gather experience.
Moreover, the good news was that they didn't send any Devil Sovereigns to back their descendants. The descendants had to depend on themselves. As a result, the reason behind these invitations should be asking him to join forces with them.
Since he was strong and popular, they would definitely be interested in him. Knowing this, his eyes lit up. Unlike the other devil emperors who would immediately cower in fear and submit to them in their presence, he was different. He didn't fear their powerful devil abilities that they had inherited. Specifically, the so-called power belonging to the seven deadly sins.
He would crush them all and take them as his subordinates instead. Having these thoughts, he left for Blossom City which was a bit nearer to him. Nevertheless, he didn't show up there normally but rather arrived in a grandeur manner.
He was inside a magnificent carriage pulled by a brown twin-headed devilish dragon. It was releasing a powerful aura in the level of Devil Kings and even Devil Emperors were feeling their blood boiling.
Indeed, it was Ryland with a devil seed inside. Seeing this majestic scene, everyone thought that a powerful descendent from the Holy Land had arrived. This included the female wearing vivacious clothes sitting on a throne inside a huge castle, excluding breathtaking charm and beauty.
She was Alyssa, the bearer of one of the seven deadly sins; the power of lust. Despite such power, she was still stuck in the early stages of the Domain Realm. This was because she needed males to aid her in her cultivation.
However, she loathed using such a method of cultivation. She hated her own ability and her parents. Especially, her mother, who bore dozens of children like her from who knows how many men. She heard that her mother had drained them all to death.
So, was trying her best to escape from this ability. And there was only one method to do so. It was forming a new body. She had learned of it by obtaining a clue left behind by the mysterious Devil Sovereign that could create clones.
Yes, it was those skulls that Davion was searching for and she already had two of them in her possession. If she could obtain the other two, she would be able to form many bodies of her own which would cultivate by themselves from the start.
Hence, there was a high possibility of acquiring different abilities in the process. Not only that but later they could be combined into one, forming an ultimate devil body. However, this was all speculation as nobody had seen it.
It was believed that this was a special ability of that Devil Sovereign. She also thought so. Anyways, she didn't want to give up this easily. She wanted to witness it with her own eyes.
That's why she had sneakily brought many strong devil emperors as bodyguards from her holy city. She wanted to capture all the devil emperors who she had invited in one whole swoop and interrogate them.
If they had the skulls, then things would be easier. If not, she had to build her force and search for them with all her strength. But her plan became futile as Davion attacked at once after the feast.
In a couple of moves, everyone was defeated and smashed into the ground. She couldn't believe someone could be so strong. He simply released a spell to pull them in a separate space and when they came back to their senses, they only saw a shadow brushing past them. And in an instant, they were all wounded in their chests. It was unbelievable.
Next, Davion took away all their space rings, causing them to cry out in despair. The most miserable was Alyssa. She even begged as tears dripped from her eyes. A soft pink mist was also being released from her, trying to invoke the lust in Davion's mind.
Nevertheless, that was useless against him. He dispelled it with just a wave of his hands as the difference in strength was quite huge.
Afterward, he looked through these rings one by one with a face full of smiles. The harvest was huge. But when he saw the contents of the last ring, his expression changed.
Indeed, he saw the skulls. To make sure they were real, he took them out and compared them with the ones he had on the spot. The skulls lit up and began buzzing, attracting each other.
Seeing this, Alyssa's expression turned from ugly to excitement in the blink of an eye. The thing she had been searching for all her life was right in front of her. Now, she had to do something.
So, she hurriedly spoke and introduced herself while promising to provide him resources, position and wealth in her clan in the Holy City if he gave her these skulls. But would Davion agree with that? It was absolutely no.
He gave her a cold shoulder and didn't bother with her anymore. Noticing this, she gritted her teeth and after some hesitation, she even added saint crystal on top of that. Nonetheless, he still shook his head in disdain.
Finally, she had no other choice than to give away her body. She explained that he would benefit massively if he dual cultivated with her. Especially more, when it was her first time.
Listening to her, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How can a human like him sleep with a devil? Plus, he couldn't understand why she was hellbent on obtaining this inheritance when her background was even more terrifying.
She definitely had a Saint backing her and her own inheritance. Thus, he asked everything with puzzlement.
Her eyes shined with hope as she finally managed to catch his attention. So, she told her everything about herself and the inheritance.
Hearing her words, he gradually realized how great the potential of this cloning technique was. The other devil emperors who were lying injured too had the same thought. Their eyes also shone with greed as they planned to negotiate with him.
Nevertheless, he didn't give them a chance to speak as darkness enveloped the room and only their painful shrieks could be heard.
Only after a few minutes, did everything subside. But except for a few traces of battle, nothing could be seen as they had all disappeared.
He then looked straight into Alyssa's eyes and questioned coldly, "Now, what shall I do with you?"
