Chapter 2089: Inheriting Their Legacies

Weren’t they said to be holy existences, even worshipped by some people?

“The Saintess Lunaria should be a character who had not been born yet in my time or remained relatively unknown… Including all races, there were only five Saintesses and four Saints, including Saintess Myria, and amongst them, she was the most powerful, adored, and sought out by all. Even the Saints actively pursued her.”

Davis raised his brows as he heard Frostrose talking with a bit of reverence in her tone.

“Still. It’s a pity…” Frostrose’s eyes possessed a lamenting glint, “I wish I could’ve met her back when she was still called a Saintess…”

‘But excuse me… that person called Saintess Myria visited you, but you probably sent her away in exchange for an Ice Phoenix Egg and a bit of blood essence, and now she calls you stingy…’

Davis couldn’t help but chuckle, wondering what Frostrose would think if she came to know that she had already met Saintess Myria. However, he didn’t fail to notice the implication at the end.

“What do you mean? She wasn’t called a Saintess anymore?” probed Davis.

“Indeed.” A hint of sorrow flashed past Frostrose’s eyes, “It was a pity that she became a Fiend.”

“Fiend?” Davis blinked, “What do you mean?”

“I don’t know exactly, but one fateful day, it was announced that she lost her mind as her Life Laws somehow transformed into Death Laws, and people who lose their minds and become savage are termed, Fiends. Most of them are people who learned Death Laws. It was also said that she was also the only person capable of manipulating these two Laws, later allowing her to even use Reincarnation Laws or Nirvanic Laws as we would like to say.”

A fanatic light emerged in Frostrose’s eyes, and even Flamerose appeared similar.

However, Davis became confused.

‘Wait… Myria’s Life Laws somehow transformed to Death Laws…? What? Didn’t Myria say she was born with her Eternal Life Soul Physique? Could she have perhaps only mastered Death Laws later in her life? Or… she hid the fact that she was a Divergent, only revealing Life Laws to the world until she was also forced to reveal her Death Laws…?’

Davis solemnly wondered, but he wasn’t sure.

“Can you tell me more about her?”

“We don’t know much, but all I can say is that Saintess Myria disappeared one day. Her life and death are unknown, and in terms of offensive and healing prowess, even you nor Shirley could compare to her, and neither is our entire clan. Perhaps, considering the passage of time outside maybe, she has already reappeared and become all-powerful. In any case, you two should be wary of her.”

“I see.”

Davis nodded, thinking that Myria, unfortunately, died long back and reincarnated just a few decades back with the twist of fate by yours truly.

“Should I be wary of anything else?”

Frostrose raised her brows, “Learn those things by yourself after you ascend.”

“Haha, you caught me.”

Davis chuckled while Frostrose smilingly shook her head. They both then swiveled their heads, looking at Shirley, who stood up, appearing excited.

“Davis, Fire Phoenix Mistress and Ice Phoenix Mistress! Have I truly inherited both of your Immortal Inheritances now?”

“Yes, you did~”

Flamerose stepped forward and patted Shirley’s head, causing Shirley to feel some disbelief over her achievement even though she expected it.

“Then? Tell us your progress.”

“I entered High-Level Law Rune Stage and created a Supreme Immortal Rune! However, my cultivation increase didn’t stop right there as my Body Tempering Cultivation also drastically increased from Low-Level Martial Master Stage to Peak-Level Martial Sage Stage, allowing me to create a five-kilometer phoenix flames Perfect Domain. Also, my Soul Forging Cultivation has also experienced a massive leap from Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage to Mid-Level Emperor Soul Stage, even allowing me to conjure Emperor Sigil.”

Shirley’s expression became bright, instantly opening her mouth as she happily recited the results. However, her expression then became doubtful.

“This… is this normal?” She glanced at her own body from toe to arms, appearing surprised, “I can still feel energy swarming my body, making me think that I can easily create another Supreme Immortal Rune if I want to and even break through the Martial Overlord Stage, create a Supreme Immortal Crest.”

“This is going to be the new norm for you, Shirley.”

Flamerose proudly smiled, her voice beaming with happiness.

“You possess both our blood, and when we join together to create icefires, even King-Tier Immortal Magical Beasts aren’t our match.”

“But that doesn’t explain-“

“Shirley, if Frostrose and I were both Fire Phoenixes, you wouldn’t have obtained much of an advantage, but our blood’s nature is different. Did you even understand why you had to undergo such torture to balance our blood?”

Flamerose grabbed Shirley’s shoulders and shook her.

“It wasn’t just to be able to use icefires in the near future but also obtain a vast source of energy as a byproduct of the fusion of our blood. After all, when ice and fire combine, it unleashes a vast amount of energy that extinguishes its target.”

“I… I see…”

Shirley finally understood, her head spinning from shaking a hundred times in the span of a few seconds.

Davis couldn’t help but silently chuckle before he opened his mouth.

“The blood hasn’t completely assimilated yet, so it should keep providing you with a vast source of energy as it continues to assimilate, Shirley. Leave it to me to make you ace all three cultivation systems.”

He patted his chest, causing Shirley to push away Flamerose before she leaped towards Davis, hugging him with all her might.

“You’re the best!~”

Flamerose’s brows twitched. She sighed before she glanced away, “Little sister, hand Shirley your inheritance already. It’s time for us to leave this world once and for all.”

An indifferent light emerged in Frostrose’s eyes while even Shirley stopped clamoring, turning to look at them with a sorrowful expression on her face, recalling that they were already dead. Fortune and misfortune are intertwined. She was now merely facing the misfortune part, the sorrow of separation, realizing that even glorious immortals such as these phoenixes approached the end of their lives as she tightly held Davis’s hand.

Even in her silence, she revealed her distress about this situation.

“It’s been a mere week, but you already feel close with us?”

Frostrose smilingly shook her head before she waved her hand.

*Rumble!~*

The ground began trembling, and Davis traced the quake towards the front, beyond the doors leading to the Treasury containing treasures from the trials. The door opened, and a tiny object shot towards them, appearing before Shirley before it stopped.

It appeared like a crystal and shone with an icy hue in the form of a ring. Indeed, it was a spatial ring but a special one, the inheritance spatial ring of the Ice Phoenix Immortal Inheritance.

Shirley laid her eyes on it and exchanged glances with her own crimson ring that was the inheritance spatial ring of the Fire Phoenix Immortal Inheritance. She had been wearing it for almost a year now, so she could clearly see the rings’ resemblance, etched with similar designs, while only the color was different.

She gazed at the two phoenixes and shed tears unwittingly, cupping her hands and bowing all the way to her waist.

“I feel deeply honored to inherit both of your expectations!~”

Flamerose and Frostrose looked at each other and exchanged a satisfied nod before the former spoke.

“Don’t mind us. We just sacrificed ourselves for our clan. You don’t need to do anything other than what is required of you; winning the Candidacy for us. As for what it is, you will know very soon once you ascend.”

‘So they refuse to explain…’

Davis was about to ask but decided against it while possessing an odd expression on his face.

Shirley raised her body and stood straight, grabbing the inheritance spatial ring as she bound it. The tears around her eyes seemed to have already dried up while she heavily nodded her head.

“I’ll give my best shot at it!”

She declared, and Davis’s expression was obvious to the two phoenix beauties, but they began to fade away.

“We believe you, Shirley.”

Flamerose deeply smiled as her veil disappeared first, revealing her extraordinary features that could attract extraordinary men, but at this moment, neither Davis nor Shirley was of the luxury to be admiring Flamerose’s beauty as she was truly dying, disappearing from this world along with Frostrose.

However, Frostrose looked at Davis at this moment, her eyes shining with a peculiar light.

“Young Saint, what you do with our remnant souls after we disperse our consciousness is none of our business.”

“Huh? …Why?” Davis was stunned, causing Frostrose to smile.

“You may be a Divergent, but I trust Shirley’s husband is not a vile character.”

As she finished her sentence, her figure completely faded away, leaving the area with two tiny wisps of flames, one scarlet and the other icy blue. They were their remnant souls, both without consciousness, never to be awoken again.

“…!”

Shirley threw herself to Davis, silently crying as she held him while Davis could only console her, caressing her head as he looked at the two flaming wisps with a complex expression on his face. Even though two powerful immortal soul essences were just before him, he lacked the urge to take them.

‘How is it possible for such magnanimous characters like them to exist…?’

He wondered, and it took a while before both of their mental states returned to normal.

Only then did Davis sigh and swiped his hand towards the empty air with a difficult expression on his face, and when he did so, the two flaming wisps disappeared, leaving the cave with a gloomy ambiance, perfectly catching the sorrow of an abandoned home as the two remaining figures also left.
