Divine Emperor of Death -
Chapter 5097: Heaven And Earth Spring
Stella was already a giant three-hundred-kilometer-tall Void Dust Tree. She could grow even more, considering she still had the third cycle left to enter. At that time, she could become as tall as a three-thousand-kilometer-tall Void Dust Tree!
But Davis knew that, compared to the other tree lifeforms, the Void Dust Trees were actually in the smaller height range. After all, they clung to space and broke through the void to travel.
An Azure Tree was massive, and a Seraphic Azure Tree was the same size, sacrificing size for speed, but they were still in the mid-range when it comes to height.
He had heard some power was actually settled on the Seraphic Azure Tree in the Celestial Transcendent Greater Realm, but he wasn't sure of the authenticity of the information. Considering Fairy Divinacia was special among Seraphic Azure Trees since she had become an Alpha Exalt-level existence with the help of a Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill, he felt that she would be a million kilometers in height.
A million?
"Hmm…" Davis looked up at the ceiling of the tunnels.
He couldn't even grasp it even though he could imagine it. Nonetheless, he dropped the subject altogether.
At the very least, he thought she would be more than a hundred thousand kilometers in height.
Finally, he appeared in a secluded location where there was a pool in an underground cave-like space.
"Sweet!"
Davis clicked his fingers in joy as he saw the spring full of heaven and earth energy.
Liquid heaven and earth essence, or in other words, a Spirit Essence Spring!
Due to the tunnels becoming moist with the air flow density of heaven and earth energy, not to mention spirit sap occasionally falling out of root veins to nurture the Dragon Realm Vein in a circular cycle, it caused spirit essence pools to appear within the underground.
In City Lord Kain's memories, these were intended to be used as nurturing grounds for the Empyrean and Autarch supreme geniuses in the upcoming decades or centuries.
Exalt Grade Spirit Pools, but was used for baptizing Empyrean supreme geniuses in the near future when heaven and earth energy would be sparse!
What a lavish cultivation ground!
Davis intended to use all of this for himself. However, he couldn't outright steal it since there were various formations guarding it, plus that old, undying man in the coffin. He didn't want to introduce too many aspects and deviations in his plan.
He guessed that his State of Divine Possession - Corruption of Will, could be broken as long as the other party was provoked too much and managed to realize why the hell they were listening to some nobody. But the question hanging over his head was always whether they were capable enough to do so, and Davis felt like this old, undying man with rich experience and a strong Will would be able to break it if pushed enough.
After all, the old undying man only had one mission until his death, and that was to guard this place. This mission was issued by the Hexadra Clan, so even if it was the City Lord who was trying to take this resource, the man lying in the coffin would react and wake up. If he couldn't defend this place, then chances are that he would become mad and break the corruption cast on him.
But Davis eventually planned to use this resource as the City Lord was allowed to bask here.
He was going to absorb it all.
'Hehe, my road to becoming a Level Four Empyrean…'
Davis grinned.
It was very difficult for him to find resources that matched his Laws and, most importantly, the properties, so he mustn't use other kinds of resources or risk downgrading his powers. However, this kind of pure heaven and earth energy condensed into liquid was what he required since it could be absorbed faster than absorbing air, each drop containing heaven and earth energy from in thousand kilometer radius or so he heard.
Marking this place so that he doesn't get lost within the maze of tunnels, he went back to Fairy Divinacia and Epsila.
He asked the latter if she felt anything strange again.
"No," Epsila shook her head sadly.
It seemed like she also wanted to know what made her feel the way she did when she made contact with the vortex of heaven and earth energy for the first time.
"Alright, be careful."
Davis warned her solemnly, causing her to nod. He had an idea since he expected this would be the case way back, but he didn't want to use it for now. He could delve into the aspects of the Ethereal Lumina Tree later, as what was important was to siphon energy first. Otherwise, if the Ethereal Lumina Tree reacted with hostility, he could only leave.
"How many days would it require for you to reach the limit, Fairy Divinacia?"
"This formation's flowing structure that distributes heaven and earth energy makes it easier for me to absorb. I won't need nine years to fully replenish my reserve seed. Three years would suffice."
"Three years?" Davis blinked.
He didn't expect it to take this long.
"Don't worry. I fear that my reserve seed's energy capacity is at the World Hegemon Stage."
"…"
Davis sucked in a cold breath while the Azure Tree Realm Master smiled as though she was proud.
He didn't say anything anymore since the amount of energy he required for their plan is only till the layer limit. He asked her that and received a satisfactory answer.
"Three days."
"Good. I'll buy you three days, whatever it takes."
Davis looked determined before he turned around and left, flicking his finger and taking out the City Lord's token.
City Commander Yigan's voice could be heard, "My Lord, Saint Riyal Mendez has arrived and is waiting for you at the entrance of the manor gates."
"Tell his phony ass to get inside by himself with only a select few members."
Davis scoffed.
Want the City Lord to receive him personally?
Did they ask if the Divine Emperor of Death agreed?
Davis cackled silently as he flicked his sleeves and went up to meet the Saint and perhaps give him some surprise.
