Chapter 2018: Shard Family's Reckoning

Chapter 2019: Shard Family’s Reckoning

Davis didn't lead the Soaring Emperor Sword to the disciples running around to make it use less amount of energy since it would fear harming them. Instead, he waited for it to use up its core energy.

Moreover, he had already used his Emperor Sigil before and hence couldn't use it again. Otherwise, he could easily repel the Soaring Emperor Sword.

All things said, he was completely at ease, defending against the Soaring Emperor Sword that was continually wasting its core energy. His Heaven Cleaving Abyss's initial form held immense energy that could be unleashed to a vast distance. Now that he was using it like a sword, it was likely able to hold its form for five more minutes, which he felt was ample for the Soaring Emperor Sword to exhaust its energy.

And as expected, it was not even five minutes before the Soaring Emperor Sword stopped, but it didn't leave, hovering in front of him.

The entire Emperor Sword Sect in a surrounding fifty-kilometer radius was thoroughly decimated. But since they fought in the air, the disciples who took shelter underneath their defensive formations survived. However, all the Shards ended up being pushed out by them, dying to the shockwave of their battle.

It seemed that the Emperor Sword Sect had made its decision to abandon the Shard Family and Davis noticed that they did so with pride and unquenched rage.

It could be noticed that the Shard Family suppressed them for a long time for them to be acting like madmen, pushing even women and youths out of defensive zones. The current sight of their hateful nature gave him a chill, but he was just defending while the Soaring Emperor Sword was making the killing because of its unabated attacks.

Nonetheless, his gaze was still on the Soaring Emperor Sword.

Judging by its aura, Davis could tell that it stopped before it could exhaust itself, meaning that it was withholding its last bit of power to unleash its full strength, maybe even unleash a powerful technique of unknown nature since it had crossed paths with many sword cultivators.

"Leave!"

A hoarse masculine voice spoke out.

Davis vaguely chortled as he lowered his hand, "I won't harm the people here, but the Shard Family is going to die."

"Leave! Leave! Leave!"

A glaring intent struck Davis, causing him to narrow his brows.

The Soaring Emperor Sword was trying to intimidate him into leaving, but it just ended up angering him. However, he sucked in a deep breath and calmed.

"If you dare to attack me again, I wouldn't leave a single person here alive."

With that, he hovered towards the central location of the Emperor Sword Sect, ignoring the Soaring Emperor Sword and rushing past it.

*Bzzz!~*

The Soaring Emperor Sword trembled but surprisingly, it didn't attack him. Instead, it kept following him, slowly treading behind as though watching his every move.

Davis remained unperturbed.

Unless he was outmatched or had something urgent to do, he wasn't willing to use Fallen Heaven. Otherwise, he would've used it every time he met an enemy. There was also the matter of karmic burden. He felt that if he could learn how it affected him or anyone else around him, he could effectively move around it. However, it seemed like an impossible task since the karmic burden was formless and intuitive of heaven's will.

It was like a sudden feeling of being cursed with bad luck, totally different from having one's karmic luck in the negative.

Davis arrived near the central area of the Emperor Sword Sect. However, he sat down and entered meditation.

The death energy permeating in this region from killing Shard Family members was good for him. He didn't bother about anything else, his soul sense covering the entire Emperor Sword Sect as he began his comprehension.

Hundreds and thousands of corpses belonging to the Shard Family members who were killed by the onslaught shuddered ever so lightly at this moment. If one looked at them closely, they would think that they returned to life.

However, it was not the case. Instead, the death aura permeating from them resonated with the purple-robed man who sat in mid-air in the central area.

*Bzzz!~*

Within a few minutes, heaven and earth energy began to take shape. A pitch-black fog emanated around Davis, causing him to shudder ever so lightly at this moment.

"Hiss!~"

Davis sucked in the essence of Death Laws while the heavens had acknowledged his comprehension of Level Two Intent.

Moments later, he stood up, his eyes flashing in a strange light.

'I must thank Myria for showing me more of Death Laws…'

Davis knew that he wouldn't have made a breakthrough in Death Laws this quick without battling Myria and peeking at her Eternal Life Soul. At least, it would've taken him half an hour or more.

However, would the death aura stay for a long time after he resonated with them?

It was unlikely.

Nonetheless, as for Nereus Shard and Adamantus Shard, they long since went into hiding.

Where? Davis noticed the entrance to a mini-realm where they scrammed for their lives. This was why he sat down and entered meditation to comprehend Death Laws. Unless they possessed another way to escape from that mini-realm, they could forget about escaping his grasp.

For all he knew, they were waiting with defenses and offenses ready to obliterate him. However, with Fallen Heaven by his side for times like these, was he afraid?

He didn't even think about the consequences and stepped into the mini-realm hidden underneath a building's cellar. The Soaring Emperor Sword followed his suit.

The moment Davis entered, he was prepared to receive a bombardment. However, there was no one in his sight.

"Those bastards escaped far off into the distance? Or don't tell me they're planning to seal me here by sacrificing themselves?"

Davis wasn't worried about being sealed. He could just destroy the space here with Fallen Heaven's reincarnation energy, causing it to collapse, which will open fissures to the outside world and later completely collapse, turning into that sealed space like before.

Nonetheless, he scoffed at the thought of the Shard Family sacrificing themselves and looked at the Soaring Emperor Sword.

"While you were battling me, defending the Emperor Sword Sect, the current rulers scrammed like rats, deeply afraid for their lives. Is this what your Emperor Sword Sect had become into?"

Davis visibly sneered at it, casting a mocking look before he turned around, ignoring the trembling of the Soaring Emperor Sword. His soul sense spread out at this moment before he found a sword-like temple in the distance, looking as though it was piercing into the clouds. It possessed a faint resemblance towards the central building outside.

"That should be the place where this sect started. I wonder if the Emperor Sword Sect is an immortal inheritance…"

He rushed towards it and quickly arrived in a few minutes, whereupon he saw the towering temple. It exuded a deep and ancient aura, like a beast slumbering, able to open its eyes at any time and devour anything in front of it.

However, his reaction was bland as he walked through the front gates, arriving in front of the entrance. Without missing a step, he entered and walked through the hallway. It appeared dilapidated as though it was abandoned, left to rot. However, Davis was sure that this temple's defenses could slightly surpass that of the Golden Palace belonging to Isabella.

Nonetheless, it was all the same without energy to command this building, only capable of being used as an ordinary cage to trap him. He wondered why the Shards came here or even led him here while approaching the inner section of the building.

As he walked through the corridor, he saw many murals. To his surprise, each of them contained the profound images of sword techniques, making him think that if he brought Tanya here, she could very well comprehend them with her comprehension capacity.

"Ahaha! Fool, you walked right into my trap!"

At this moment, a mocking sound echoed, causing Davis to move his gaze away from the murals and look around with his soul sense. His soul strands filled the majority of the temple. However, he could sense nothing, meaning that Nereus Shard and his subordinates were hiding in a hidden room, most likely the core room where the core of the temple was placed.

"It seems that you managed to gain control of this temple, perhaps long ago. It was no wonder you managed to kill the true rulers of the Emperor Sword Sect. However, with little to no energy remaining in this dilapidated temple, how are you planning to kill me?"

Davis amusingly asked a question. He had noticed the intense aura of karmic sin on Nereus Shard and even the others, but Nereus Shard possessed the most karmic sin out of all, many times bigger. At that moment, he was convinced Nereus Shard was the one who killed the true rulers of the Emperor Sword Sect, and now, he knew why.

"…"

To Davis's question, the atmosphere was abnormally silent, which made him think that he had hit the bullseye.

Meanwhile, Nereus Shard, who was exactly hidden in the core room, was heavily sweating.

The Soaring Emperor Sword was unable to kill, no, even stop the Emperor of Death.

Even his backup plan to intimidate the Emperor of Death in this ancient, dilapidated temple that radiated a sharp aura piercing to one's will was unable to shake the Emperor of Death's will the slightest bit, even giving him clues about his past vile deeds?

Just what kind of monster was he facing!?
