Chapter 2185: The Ninth Floor's Treasure

Chapter 2185: The Ninth Floor's Treasure

Davis and Myria stared at each other, their thoughts whirling between the ninth floor’s immortal treasure and their chances of obtaining it amidst the two of their needs of wanting to make progress in Reincarnation Laws and the other wanting to learn Reincarnation Laws.

Although Myria’s thoughts were unknown, Davis felt his chances of claiming the ninth floor’s treasure were extremely less.

After all, even without a well-detailed-out plan to defeat the ninth floor’s challenge, considering that the world master was someone who sealed Fallen Heaven and also had allowed Myria into this world by Myria’s own claims, Davis was almost convinced that this Nine-Treasured Palace was precisely made for her. As evidence, she could be the only person to find and enter that hidden spatial node that hid the core in the Alternating Time Flow Valley.

He found this matter extremely unlikely for it to be a coincidence! Unless otherwise, there was actually another worthy character vying for the Fallen Heaven?

Davis also felt that it was unlikely for there to be other worthy people because who else could imitate Myria’s Eternal Life Soul Physique or even a semblance of her powers, possessing Reincarnation Laws?

He didn’t know such individuals.

‘Perhaps, I am the one causing the destined flow of fate to go astray, and she is the one who was actually picked as a worthy candidate or a subject to possess Fallen Heaven by the world master…’

Davis couldn’t help but additionally think.

Nonetheless, his expression turned into a dry smile even with all things considered.

“We’ll see if we would even be able to clear the ninth floor in the first place. After all, both you and I can’t cross eight levels in prowess.”

The expressions of Evelynn and the others became sore. They were precisely worried about this matter. Even Shirley had difficulty defeating her imitation, whose prowess was restricted to seven levels above, only managing to do so after going crazy enough to harm herself while surprising the imitation with a new move that she could’ve only thought of with all her heart and soul at that particular moment but now, how was Davis or even Myria for that matter supposed to face a challenge that was above eight levels in prowess?

They found it ridiculous!

Myria also possessed a frowning expression on her face before she shook her head.

“Perhaps, it might not be eight levels.”

“Ah, what wishful thinking.” Davis smirked, “I certainly didn’t expect this from you, Fairy Myria.”

However, Myria stayed as cold-faced as ever, her voice turning sharply annoyed.

“To cross seven levels in the nine stages of the mortal realm is an impossible feat in the first place. You were only able to do so because you plundered from the heavens and realized an unthinkable physique, which made it possible for you to cross seven levels, while on the other hand, I am, a reincarnated person who shouldn’t be possessing this soul physique at the mortal realm because I was born an immortal.”

“…”

“What wishful thinking? You’re the one with the wishful thinking that you can take the immortal treasure on the ninth floor from me, although you’re welcome to try.”

Myria’s voice carried a hint of disdain, but Davis shook his head.

“Crossing seven levels could certainly be achieved with the fusion of lesser Laws into Supreme Laws.”

“Again, the fusion of lesser Laws into Supreme Laws is still Supreme Laws, and Supreme Laws are something you could only comprehend in the Immortal King Stage. To comprehend Elementary Intent on your own before even reaching the Immortal King Stage is an extremely difficult feat. Even I, with the Eternal Soul Physique, only managed to comprehend Elementary Intent of Reincarnation Laws when I was at the peak of the Immortal Stage. Just because you could use its abilities doesn’t mean that you can necessarily comprehend Reincarnation Laws faster than me.”

Myria’s bosoms heaved before she waved her hand.

“Utmost, you can master the art of blending and perhaps combination but never fusion!”

“…”

Davis appeared taken aback visibly, his eyes blinking.

Had he hit a sore point or something to be lectured like this? He couldn’t help but remember the time he defeated her using Fallen Heaven’s Reincarnation Laws. Did that hurt her pride?

ρꪖꪁⅆꪖ ꪁꪫꪚⅇ​ꪶ​ Abruptly, Myria’s eyes sharply narrowed before she turned around.

“Enough of your ignorance, little brat. Let’s go.”

‘Alright, old monster.'<del>ρaꪁⅆa ꪁꪫꪚⅇ​ꪶ​</del>

Davis shrugged and followed, but the words that came to the tip of his tongue were uttered in his mind.

He didn’t say it as he didn’t want to anger his benefactor and also the person to have found this Nine-Treasured Palace, even allowing him entry without blocking him. He was already finding robbing her of eight treasures quite shameless and still felt shameless enough to compete for the ninth floor’s treasure, yet she was still enduring his actions.

Once again, he couldn’t help but think she really was a Saintess.

If it was him, he was sure he would’ve kicked out that person, even if it was a well-acquainted woman like Schleya or a friend like Drake, but since he could only leave with everyone at the same time due to the rules of this Nine-Treasured Palace, then he would make sure to seal that person and hypnotize to get out later.

As he thought about some imaginary scenarios and dealt with his inner heart, enriching his Enigmatic Heart Intent, he fastened his pace and walked alongside Myria, not wanting to miss out on the first chance to enter, although he felt like he should let her enter first because she was the one who found this place.

Unknowingly, his speed decreased. No, he saw Myria walking faster.

‘Damn, she’s serious…’

Davis inwardly gawked. He thought she might reluctantly allow him to take the Reincarnation Essence Orb if he displayed his determination to get it after passing the challenge. After all, Myria’s comprehension of Reincarnation Laws should be well above the Immortal Stage, causing him to initially think that she shouldn’t be fighting it over with him.

‘Don’t tell me that the Reincarnation Essence Orb can only manifest itself if it’s at least at the Immortal King Stage… then that would make sense…’

That, or Davis felt that even the slightest essence of Reincarnation Laws was worth ruining any alliances.

Perhaps, if he kept fighting with Myria for the ninth floor’s treasure, their shaky alliance supported by the presence of Ellia might fall apart. He couldn’t help but think about the untoward consequences of infighting and also how Ellia would suffer between their clash.

‘Fine, you can have the first chance…’

Clenching his teeth at Myria’s back while taking advantage of looking at her shapely ass that invoked one’s desires, he walked at a normal pace, no longer possessing haste, thinking that if Myria passed the challenge, then this place was meant for her, as it was destined.

However, he saw Myria, who had climbed the stairs and reached the ninth floor, stare at the chamber of challenge in shock, her eyes going wide as she appeared frozen like a statue, her fingers even trembling ever so lightly.

“…!?”

Davis’s movements slowed down without his knowledge, ‘Fuck, don’t tell me the world master is above…’

The urge to turn tail and run struck his heart like a heavenly lightning bolt surging through his entire body, almost causing him to freeze. However, he clenched his teeth and forcefully took control of his stiffening body, and moved his legs.

Each step felt like climbing a hundred thousand meter mountain that never had he felt in his life that climbing a few steps of stairs would be so difficult.

Recognizing the decline in the confident air between Myria and Davis, the others also felt some kind of dread encroaching upon their hearts. However, they too followed Davis as though welcoming life and death.

They soon climbed the stairs and turned to look at the challenge chamber as they noticed two treasures at the end of the chamber. With their eyesight, they were able to see clearly what the two jade casings housed.

One held a grayish-purple sphere, floating with the heavy vortex-like twist occurring inside it and yet not unleashing any kind of recognizable energy as though it was part of the Nine-Treasured Palace and the other treasure that appeared like a scroll exuded a similar yet divine aura that shook their hearts.

“A Chaos Essence Orb!?”

Davis couldn’t help but blurt out as his eyes went wide like saucers, even more exaggerated than Myria, and hearing his words, the others jolted in shock, their bodies shuddering over this humongous yet unbelievable discovery.

“…!”

Myria also came out of her reverie as he heard Davis’s stupefied bellow, wondering how he was able to tell when she noticed the second treasure, her heart skipping a beat once again before it drummed rapidly.

The reason Davis arrived at such a conclusion was that he looked at the other treasure as being unable to recognize the grayish-purple sphere, a scroll that appeared as though it was extremely ancient, perhaps birthed from the very inception of the cosmos.

If it wasn’t just its aura, the name imprinted on the jade casing struck chords of chaos into both their hearts.
