Chapter 4623: Steady Supply Of Souls

Houdini Terssky looked at them with an amused gaze.

It looks like he had underestimated the hatred against the Hexadra Clan since they were really known to be nasty and wicked, harming countless innocents and even scheming against the supreme geniuses of other upper realms.

Nonetheless, with over a hundred people per team, they should be able to subdue anyone unless they were the top-tier supreme geniuses of the ruling major powers.

However, they found something that dashed their hopes.

"Have you seen a Six-Headed Hydra here?" Houdini Terssky asked.

"..."

Everyone remained silent before one of them raised a hand.

"Uh, I heard rumors that they’re in the Mountain-Sea Painting Shard Region."

"Ah, there. That High-Level Shard Region is connected to the Shard Continent and rich in water energy, as well as two other energies. Moreover, the battles between the galaxies are at their highest there, allowing one to reap more benefits. No wonder..."

Houdini Terssky’s lips curled wryly as he continued, "But it would take months to get there, and going through the Shard Continent isn’t exactly safe, so I’ll just lead my team around here to hunt for wicked geniuses for the time being."

"We’ll follow you!"

His team echoed, causing him to have a sense of belonging.

As for Filang Bach and Lanbi Firefall’s teams, they had already headed out again, not wanting to waste time watching the battle royale here. Moreover, three more teams formed from the second batch, and only the leaders could contact the Divine Emperor of Death in order to exchange treasures, so no new team formed at this point.

Six teams having a hundred supreme geniuses each. It was a force to be reckoned with, meeting nearly no resistance. Their unity was solidified by the promise of treasures, and everyone worked together to obtain as many rewards as possible so that they could benefit. The more supreme geniuses they captured alive, the more they would get. There were also bonuses like milestones.

Capture a hundred villainous supreme geniuses and get fifty High-Level Empyrean Grade resources. Who didn’t want to reach that target quickly before the bounty runs out?

Those who didn’t get into the six teams could only lament, or they didn’t have any intention to join in the first place, leaving hurriedly since they didn’t want to get into trouble or had their own agendas, like being spies or informants.

Quickly, the news that the Divine Emperor of Death was hunting wicked and diabolical geniuses spread, causing many of them to leave the High-Level Shard Region. The hunt didn’t stop in the Luminous Rage Shard Region, spreading outward like a spiraling snare.

Now, the target was no longer treasures.

Instead, the target was the scum of the human race.

For the first time, the wicked felt fear as they looked at the righteous, who appeared like they were greedy devils with their tongues out and drooling at them like they were some piece of meat.

The subsequent days were filled with righteous slaughter and secret echoes of praise for the Divine Emperor of Death since he kept giving treasures as promised.

Naturally, Isabella and the others had also heard.

In fact, Isabella had secretly watched from a distance as she saw her Emperor discipline and subdue these geniuses on that day when he made them battle to the death. She was outside looking for Primarch Grade treasures, but caught sight of the strange gathering that had hundreds of supreme geniuses gathering around a basin. When she went to investigate, she was surprised to see Davis there, sitting on a throne. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have managed to see him.

Regardless, she hid and thoroughly enjoyed the show while cheering for her Emperor like a fangirl.

Davis entered closed-door seclusion, but he didn’t return to their wooden house in the Translucent Golden Parasol Tree area. Instead, he found an isolated place and began his seclusion. He had Nadia do the transactions while he was fully engaged in seclusion, refining all the soul essences he obtained. His soul prowess was steadily rising.

Nadia initially didn’t want to be bothered with transactions with the supreme geniuses.

After all, she only wanted to laze around while keeping a vigilant eye and protecting Davis and the others. She didn’t want to do complicated work like resource acquisition or resource distribution. Hence, she initially shook her head, putting Davis in a spot.

"If Everlight was here-"

"I’ll do!"

He barely mentioned her when Nadia agreed, accepted the ring, and turned around to leave, leaving Davis speechless.

He was about to say that if Everlight were here, she would’ve helped Nadia do the complicated task of looking after the resources while she could intimidate everyone to stay in line. He inwardly laughed and didn’t spare a thought after that, as Nadia wasn’t the type to hold a grudge over the misunderstanding.

She was the type to work harder if anyone were to mention her rival.

He followed after her and advised her to be mindful of the resources given and instructed her on what kind of resources she should reward for the supreme geniuses they captured.

Nadia felt nervous, as she wasn’t used to these things, but Davis implied that she would eventually have her own big clan deriving from her, and she needed to be able to spread resources across her children and grandchildren without discriminating against anyone.

Nadia eventually understood, treating this matter as an important task. Her expression was solemn, making Davis blink as he didn’t expect her to turn serious for this matter. Regardless, he praised her.

She was also to bring the prisoners to him.

Davis then finally started to refine their soul essences.

Every few hours, a batch of prisoners would arrive, and Nadia’s soul attack would erupt, causing them to die without even being able to make a sound. They couldn’t even resist her death energy as it instantly seeped into their souls and killed them.

Then, without any hesitation, Davis would absorb the soul essences while still refining and aiding his soul to grow denser.

Over time, hundreds of corpses lined up around Davis.

He seemed to be some incredibly evil cultivator who absorbed the souls of others. The aura of death gathered around him in copious amounts, but it was a pity that he didn’t have Yama to absorb it. However, he had already prepared for this and had Sophie make a special item that was capable of containing the aura of death.

It was an urn. He had placed it beside him, and it held a suction power that sucked the aura of death around him.

Originally, he wanted to make it as a coffin, but later felt that an urn was better because of the size difference. He felt it would be better if he could hold it in his hand and intimidate everyone.

Now he has got the chance.

The supreme geniuses who came by to transact could still sense the Divine Emperor of Death cultivating from a distance.

The terrifying aura he emanated stopped everyone in their tracks and didn’t let anyone think they could take advantage of him while he was cultivating.

Houdini Terssky and the other two could come closer to transact, and they could see the corpses surrounding the Divine Emperor of Death.

From this, they knew that the Divine Emperor of Death was using a strange method to cultivate his soul. They thought ’strange’ instead of ’evil’ because the aura emanating from him was terrifying yet pure, as though it didn’t exude the savage hostility that they would expect from an evil existence. His aura also had nothing to do with the impure aura of death from the corpses.

It was like he was refining the cold yin aura of death into one of serenity.

It made them feel awe as not even a Fiend would be able to do something like that, making them understand he was a never-before-seen, unique Anarchic Divergent.

Eventually, days passed, and it was finally the time for the gathering.

Isabella and the others came to pick him up.
