Chapter 1630: His Soul Palace

Davis couldn't help but feel unreal.

As far as he knew, no one possessed the ability to control the karmic nature of virtue and sin, only able to sense or feel it, but he could twist it to his needs and perhaps, even use it on someone else obviously all thanks to Fallen Heaven's mysterious powers that keeps being increasing the more its stage increased.

Was there an end to it? He felt that there was but recalling Fallen Heaven was sealed by a mysterious and powerful entity, he imagined that it was merely regaining its powers while using him as its core somehow, although he still couldn't tell why it would even need him in the first place.

To strengthen itself from its sealed state? He had already thought about that but never obtained something conclusive.

Nevertheless, he came back out of his reverie.

Feeling extremely curious, Davis flicked his hand towards Soul Emperor Elusivemist, who didn't dare to raise his head without hearing his command. His palm that possessed a wisp of karmic virtue directly lobbed onto his head before assimilating into his body, causing his eyes to widen.

However, Soul Emperor Elusivemist stayed silent, beginning to feel that he was experiencing delusions that led him to believe something was amiss. He blamed it all on the slave seal that currently bound him.

On the other hand, Davis became thrilled that he could use what he collected on others.

'I see. So my Karmicseizer ability can be used on others to plunder freely and bestow if I have similar quantities of karmic virtue and karmic sin. However, after I use it someone else, I can't change the karmic nature.'

He thought of numerous practical uses for it before a smirk appeared on his face. When fortune and misfortune were also under his control, would people even want to offend him?

At the same time, he felt that this power was rather limited in this world because the heavenly tribulations only befell certain unique entities like Tia, who possesses a Karmic Guardian Physique and Immortals. Perhaps, the immortal world was where this power could display its true prowess, but nevertheless, he mused that this power would certainly come in handy when dealing with Heaven Gazing Sect.

'Those righteous fools wouldn't want to be tainted with karmic sin, do they?'

"Fallen Heaven, the karmic sin is inside you, right?" He suddenly asked.

"Yes." Fallen Heaven's hoarse voice echoed, "This is my new power?"

"You're asking me?"

Davis's brows couldn't help but twitch.

Was Fallen Heaven truly clueless as he portrayed itself to be?

He really didn't understand and was confused, but his heart remained that he did want to believe in it because it saved him three times as far as he was concerned. After experiencing the derailed fate, the amount of gratitude he possessed towards it wasn't anything small.

However, he did hope that it didn't show him a fake illusion of a fate that would never occur in order to fool him because personally, he believed the derailed fate because it was in line with what Tina Roxley told him. Her existence and her current experience told him that what he experienced in the derailed fate was primarily true.

Therefore, he didn't doubt Fallen Heaven but hoped that it wasn't planning anything fishy because he really relished its presence in him, making him feel empowered and emboldened in this dire and hostile world.

"Well, you're the one trying out my new powers. If you allow me to do so, I will try."

Davis blinked on hearing Fallen Heaven's words.

Indeed, he remembered telling it that it shouldn't do anything without his permission. Although Fallen Heaven did take actions on its own, like injuring his soul, healing him, and hiding from heavenly tribulation, it did listen to him for the most part.

"Well, no thanks. I'd like to be in control of my life."

"Then use my powers more so I can gain more understanding of it. Right now, the input isn't enough." Fallen Heaven sounded as if it was unamused.

"Alright, but not now."

Davis inwardly nodded to Fallen Heaven. He looked at Soul Emperor Elusivemist, who seemed to be at his limit on kneeling.

"Rise up."

With his command, Soul Emperor Elusivemist quickly stood up, his cheeks slightly twitching in shame before he controlled his expression.

"From now on, you understand the Soul Palace is mine to control, right?"

"Yes, master."

"Good. I'll be taking over Soul Emperor Zealwonder's palace tower and meet you here soon after some time. Until then, you better clear the remaining hatred and reluctance in your heart."

"Yes..."

Soul Emperor Elusivemist trembled. He wanted to ask when the seal placed on his cultivation would be removed, but he didn't dare to ask anything. He could only watch the two of them leave while the sinister wolf was nowhere to be seen as he didn't even know if it was just right behind him or had already gone with the Emperor of Death.

Staying rooted on the spot, he could only wonder what the fate of his life and the Soul Palace would be like in the future.

Davis and Evelynn ascended, making their way to the tallest palace tower. Even Soul Empress Merlight's palace tower was shorter than Soul Emperor Zealwonder. From this, one could see that Soul Emperor Zealwonder reigned the Soul Palace and shook the hearts of many people, bestowing dread and unnerving respect unto them although he took him out with no suspense in an anti-climatic manner.

Such was the terrifying ability of Fallen Heaven.

As soon as they made it into that splendidly ornamented palace tower, Evelynn couldn't help but turn to look at him with a solemn gaze.

"What's wrong? Why couldn't Elusivemist find karmic sin on you? Even I am not able to..."

Davis simply chuckled and waved his hand.

"Don't worry about me because I'm fine. It has to do with my secrets."

"Oh... I hope that it's true..."

Evelynn no longer bothered as she severed the line of her curiosity. However, she hoped that she was telling the truth because she still felt worried that her karmic sin he somehow plundered from her would eventually harm him.

On the other hand, Davis felt convinced that Evelynn's karmic sin was inside Fallen Heaven, and since Fallen Heaven itself was a treasure that tended to hide from the heavens from what he had seen, the chances that he possessed karmic sin was very less. This matter also freaking explained why he possesses no karmic sin from killing millions of people.

It was because of Fallen Heaven that avoided heaven's eyes.

It didn't matter if he killed millions or billions through Fallen Heaven. No amount of karmic sin would stick to him since Fallen Heaven hid from the heavens, or so he was convinced. Otherwise, it didn't make sense.

Nevertheless, he quickly abandoned this quagmire of thoughts to think about his next step before he voiced out.

"We successfully conquered Soul Palace as planned, Evelynn. According to Isabella, we have about four or five months for her to hand over the token to the Forsaken Phoenix Realm. The Nine Western Territories Young Expert Competition is said to take place after that, although its precise date hasn't been announced yet. However, with making an example out of Soul Emperor Zealwonder by hanging him above the Soul Palace's Gates, the time period given would undoubtedly come to an end, forcing me to face them all in battle or above the negotiation table."

Evelynn nodded her head on hearing his statement.

"True. However, I reckon that I, Isabella, and Nadia are alone enough to take care of those Four Great Righteous Sects."

"Don't underestimate them, Evelynn. They have solidarity and strong karmic treasures on their side."

"I didn't mean we should fight them as they didn't offend us greatly. I meant that we could ideally hold them off. What we are after are the Dragon Families. As long as we can finish off the Domitian Family and Zlatan Family, I will be satisfied, but I'm not going to head into conflict without listening to you, husband."

Evelynn's voice was full of reliance, causing Davis to nod as he smiled, "Good."

He thought for a short while before his brows perked up.

"Alright, I've decided."

Evelynn raised her brows, "What are you going to do?"

"We'll hang Soul Emperor Zealwonder as we initially planned, but we'll hang him in five months. After all, it would be wrong of us not to make use of the time we have. Besides, I made this decision because I think I can make a breakthrough to the Soul Emperor Stage during this time."

"Really?"

Evelynn's eyes widened as her lips curved in joy.

"Indeed." Davis charmingly smiled.

"Then please do~ Revenge can wait. As long as you are strong, no one can defeat you."

"Haha."

Davis couldn't help but chuckle at her compliment.

'Well, I'll be forgoing comprehension of the soul, but it's a necessary sacrifice as I lack time. Besides, I'll still be weaker than you, Evelynn.'

If Davis could approximate her strength in his words, he would put her right in the unofficial sixth level of the ninth stage. That's how strong she was in his mind, so unless he entered High-Level Emperor Soul Stage, he mused that it would be difficult to match her when the general gap in the ninth stage was considered.

"But before I start, it's time I produced an avatar."

"There you go again, sacrificing your soul essence!~"

While Evelynn berated, Davis convinced her that he could heal quickly before he created his Solitary Soul Avatar. His avatar didn't say anything but disguised himself and quickly moved out, wanting to explore the Soul Palace.
