Divine Emperor of Death

Four icy-purple lights emerged from nowhere within Everlight's soul sea.

She was suddenly besieged with unease when these four entities suddenly appeared. They possessed the vague image of the dragon, phoenix, kirin, and the fox, the last of which shook her core to the max.

The appearance of the icy-purple fox was akin to a feeling that she was not aware of but still able to experience it. It made her feel like she was abandoned by the ancestors she never had or cared to begin with.

The icy-purple fox was within her line of sight in the soul sea, coldly looking at her soul essence— at her.

Its gaze contained numerous emotions, especially one that said that she should perish without raising a single voice against them.

However, overcoming this sensation, Everlight unleashed her move.

A torrent of life energy burst forth from her soul essence the next moment. Her very essence, filled with an alarming sensation of overreaching life, clashed with the four Paragon Magical Beasts as they made a move simultaneously.

The annihilative yin dragon roared at Everlight, imbuing a massive aura that sought to make her lose consciousness or, at the very least, cause her to become dizzy.

The annihilative yin phoenix let out its phoenix cry while burning with a strange yin flame that was full of nirvanic might. It shouted out with an extremely fast speed, intending to crash into Everlight's soul sea like a suicidal maniac because it had the ability to revive.

On the other side, the annihilative yin kirin roared with its noble might. Yin lightning dances around it, threatening to end her line once and for all. Its force was not as domineering as the dragon's, but it was noble and menacing, filled with an oppressive heavenly might that would even match the dragon's tyrannical might.

However, Everlight didn't pay attention to any of them.

Her senses were on the fox that abandoned her, causing her to be enraged from the very bottom of her soul even though she maintained her calm.

*Shhh~*

A tremendous shockwave of life energy struck all four annihilative yin Paragon Magical Beasts as they entered within its range. It reverberated twice, thrice, and many times within that minute moment, causing the yin aura of the Paragon Magical Beasts to fluctuate chaotically.

Like the annihilative heavenly lightning dragon, they abruptly came to a stop and shuddered.

Then, the outer layer bubbled and peeled off, disintegrating layer by layer.

As the life energy kept undulating as shockwaves, the yin-attributed Paragon Magical Beasts tried to defend. However, they simply couldn't withstand the high prowess of Everlight. They began disintegrating even before they could begin their counterattack.

The annihilative yin dragon simply bubbled into disappearance, appearing as though its matter was disintegrating. The kirin was the same, and the fox barely managed to hold on for a second with its own twisted yin-attribute of life energy but, in the end, met the same fate as the previous two.

The annihilative yin phoenix was the only one to survive, not because it successfully defended against it but because it was reviving.

However, the continuous shockwaves of strange life energy made it so that the phoenix died before it was fully able to revive.

Everlight knew it wasn't over as she could still feel the presence of the four annihilative yin Paragon Magical Beasts. They were intending to botch her chances to procreate.

If it had been a normal Heavenly Yin Tribulation, they wouldn't have been so vehement, but since hers was an Annihilative Heavenly Yin Tribulation, they attacked with the intent to end her line no matter what. Their Wills fueled with karmic-yin intent, surged and shot down to her womb.

But Everlight didn't panic.

They only made it halfway before the shockwave of life energy that she periodically unleashed caused the grotesque icy-purple lights to convulse and shred into a dance of decay as they eroded into bubbles layer after layer.

Outside, Everlight narrowed her eyes, knowing she had won.

They were unable to withstand her might, but the quality of the life energy she used to attack was ridiculously powerful, like a karmic stain. She couldn't believe how powerful Saintess Lunaria's twisted offensive technique was when it combined with her imperial blood-bound life energy.

The result was such that even the annihilative yin attribute filled with accursed karmic might, upon its evident death, didn't have enough time to do the least it could do to inflict a conception curse upon its target, one that wouldn't allow offspring to be born from her.

*Bzzz!~*

Abruptly, the wind kicked up as her body began transforming while the dark crimson skies above started to recede.

At this moment, there was a rush of euphoria in Everlight's heart, body, and soul.

She could sense the changes her body was undergoing as she grew rapidly into her Emperor Beast Stage form. It usually marked adulthood for an Immortal Nine Lives Gracious Fox, but to her, it marked the start of her life with her loved one.

Only at this level did she finally feel worthy enough to stand by his side and receive his love for all the aid and trust she had received. She was beyond delighted that she could tell him all that trust and resources were not wasted on her.

She grew in size in a few seconds, sensing her white wings were becoming filled with azure stripes and additionally took on a slightly golden hue as a third pattern. The runes that were also azure became slightly golden, radiating a sacred aura that made Shimei, who was in the distance, want to kneel and swear her undying loyalty despite her conscious reason.

Everlight's body quickly grew proportionally, standing at a height of two hundred and thirty meters, while her wingspan was as wide as three hundred and ninety meters. She was small compared to many Immortal Emperor Magical Beasts but not as small as Nadia was.

Nevertheless, size didn't matter much as Immortal Emperor Beasts could slightly alter their size while Emperor-Tier Beasts could perfectly alter their size. They had utter control over their innate bloodline that they could afford to compress their blood and flesh to such a level without weakening themselves, the same going for enlarging themselves.

The transformation was complete within a minute. Her nine soft and fluffy azure tails shook in the air, creating a mesmerizing scene that the three of them wouldn't forget.

Even Saintess Lunaria appeared awestruck.

Her emerald eyes only shone when she saw the changes Everlight's runes had undergone. Now, she couldn't understand much because a few new runes emerged, causing her comprehension of the previous runes to falter because a new set of runes meant a new set of lines that suddenly appeared within a sentence, making the sentence more difficult to read and understand, the difficulty multiplied by millions of times.

This didn't mean her previous comprehension was wrong, but the profoundness and the magnitude of the runes had undergone a significant increase. She held the notion that if she could even understand ninety percent of these new runes, then there was a high chance her prowess, which had been stuck for a long time, could even increase by one level!

"Master~"

Amidst the Divergent Peak that had gone completely silent after the dark crimson clouds left, a longing voice emerged from an Emperor-Tier Nine Lives Gracious Fox, causing Davis to come out of his reverie and look at her with wide eyes.

Everlight put on such a calm show that he was thoroughly captivated even though he used one arm to refine the annihilative heavenly lightning strands quickly when the annihilative heavenly tribulation left while watching her undergo her Immortal Emperor Beast Stage transformation.

He couldn't help but smile brightly from above her.

"Welcome bac-"

"Master, quick. I didn't fully erase the annihilative yin strands…"

"W-What?"

Everlight suddenly shrunk to his level and quickly appeared before him, her fox face filled with expressive emotions of excitement.

"Although it's been inflicted with malignant life energy, it could be reversed, so let's see if we can harvest it…!"

She yelled out, causing Davis to remain dumbfounded as he couldn't understand what she was saying. Wouldn't the annihilative heavenly yin use up the last dregs of its energy to inflict a terrifying conception curse to end a legacy? So how come there was still some energy left?

Did this mean that Everlight killed them off before their last resort could fully activate…?

"A-Alright…"

Still, Davis managed to retrieve himself and extended his hand towards Everlight's forehead.

He was about to place his hand on her when suddenly the scenario changed.

He heard the light sound of a snap of two fingers, causing his eardrums to shudder while his soul leaped with fright.

"Don't do it~"

A melodious voice filled with warning echoed at the very depths of Davis's soul, causing him to stop in his tracks.

When he realized what had just happened, he was looking at Everlight again while still having his hands extended out. Her excitement was still visible on her face, but his expression sank greatly, knowing that the World Master had just warned him not to try his hands at refining annihilative yin.
