"Haha…"
Davis couldn't help but laugh before he looked at Lea, "I heard that he still has so occasional monts where he rembers mories of his past life, but has no idea of what he rembered. It's unbelievable if you think about it, how our past and present lives are connected. I an, you could've married soone else in your past life."
"What are you saying?" Lea pinched him heavily as she pouted, "Even if it's true, I don't want to think about it. It's not sothing that should even be talked about in this-"
"Well, you need to sooner or later." Davis calmly responded, "When reconnecting with your soul quintessence in the Empyrean Stage, you will have to decide whether you will rember your past life or sever it, opening a clean slate of another true soul continuity."
"…" Lea was stunned.
"Of course, you won't rember anything in the Empyrean Stage but as you cross stages and near your origin one stage at a ti, it is ntioned in the ancient records that I obtained from one of the Venerable Knights that you will rember nearly everything from the creation of your soul to the end. That's why, even with so benefits, many Empyreans will always tend to sever their past lives so that it wouldn't destroy their ntality, destroy what they are and have beco. I guess this could be called the true Spirit Severing Stage that I read in stories." He chuckled.
"…"
"Uncomfortable, right? But such is what it ans to pursue cultivation… to know the truth of the universe, to know the truth of yourself."
Davis heaved a sigh, shaking his head before calling for the next round. On the other hand, Lea descended into contemplation. The answer was obvious, but still, she couldn't help but think about the vastness of a soul.
Had any of her previous incarnations ever made it to the Empyrean Stage?
If they had made it to the Empyrean Stage, then had they decided to sever it? Then, if severing and bringing a clean slate ans that's the new origin point? As a cultivator, she was also interested in learning about these things, and she had no doubt that this was not sothing that could be confird as long as the Reincarnation Dinsion was involved.
They may be a protector of the souls, but they could also be the limiter who maintains balance.
Nonetheless, it would be much more complex than she thought.
A challenger descended on the battle stage.
Davis raised his brows. Surprisingly, the young genius was from the Aurafla Clan of the Fire Phoenix Lower Realm, whom he had thought wouldn't dare utter a single word in this congregation.
"I challenge anyone of the Divine Emperor of Death's children. Let's see if I, Noraus Aurafla, can bring so face back to my Fire Phoenix Clan."
He revealed Transcendent Stage undulations as Emperor-Tier Fire Phoenix flas blazed into existence.
"Oh?"
Davis raised his brows, having never heard of soone possessing Emperor-Tier Blood in the Aurafla Clan. He wondered what kind of ancient treasury from their secret realm they had unearthed. Regardless, he didn't need to think he needed to send his children out.
But before he could say anything, Eterna rose from the seats and appeared on the battle stage.
"You-"
"Father, you let Azariel have fun, so why not ? This wouldn't last long, so let play." She flipped her crimson hair with her hand, appearing haughty.
"…"
Davis was unable to say anything after Eterna appeared on the battle stage. He cast his soul sense on them and, with his perception, confird that Noraus Aurafla was a Kingly Transcendent, aning that he should only be nine levels higher, while Eterna had the advantage as she was ten levels higher.
He relaxed ever so lightly and nodded.
"Defeat him, big sister!" Xiesha yelled out.
"Make him know what a true fire phoenix is!" Styx also cheered.
Eterna heard her little siblings cry out, causing her to smile before she also revealed Emperor-Tier undulations. She had received blood essence from Flarose before the latter left for the secret realm.
"Woah!"
The crowd was astonished at seeing two teenagers with the Emperor-Tier Bloodline of the Fire Phoenix. What's more, Noraus Aurafla also appeared to be a human, which was astonishing as they guessed most who possessed this kind of bloodline would either be feys or magical beasts.
"Then, shall we begin the battle, little demon princess?"
Noraus Aurafla teased, causing Eterna to harrumph lightly as she knew he was ntioning her mother, who was titled Icefire Phoenix Demoness.
"Let's see how long you could maintain that smirk of yours."
She shot towards him, resplendent phoenix wings appearing behind her like a manifestation.
The ground shook as the two youths clashed.
*Boom!~*
Eterna's figure blurred as she dashed forward, her movents elegant yet aggressive, scarlet flas spiraling around her like a dancing inferno. Her fists glowed with phoenix fire, shaped into delicate claws of blinding heat. She struck first and hard, sending Noraus Aurafla skidding back as his defenses wavered.
"Hmph, so much for bringing face to your clan," she smirked, haughty and radiant, wings blazing wide behind her.
Noraus gritted his teeth, rallying his flas. His Emperor-Tier Fire Phoenix Bloodline roared to life, engulfing him in a storm of swirling gold and scarlet, a regal plu of fire rising above him. He counterattacked, sending wave after wave of phoenix-shaped fla blasts, but Eterna simply soared through them, weaving with superior grace, her own fire overbearing his at every exchange.
The crowd couldn't believe it.
The Divine Emperor of Death's first daughter wasn't just fending him off. She was suppressing him. Although they couldn't see her face, there was little doubt that she was stunning, given her mother's beauty. It added a layer of mystery, making many eyes wide as they wanted to see what kind of expression she had behind her veil.
*Boom!~* *Boom!~* *Boom!~*
Their clash grew more precise and more intense than the last.
"Take this self-created technique of mine!~"
Noraus Aurafla roared and threw himself towards Eterna. He had been just retreating, so suddenly closing the distance, Eterna was montarily surprised, but she didn't falter. She twisted her hips and killed her montum mid-air before sorsaulting behind, bringing forth a crescent moon of srizing scarlet flas that sought to defeat the boy.
However, instead of unleashing his technique, he suddenly brought out a talisman.
The mont it was brought out, everyone's pupils dilated into thin needles. It was an Immortal Emperor Grade Talisman!
"Die! You filthy little pig of that bastard!" Noraus Aurafla's expression twisted into one of full of hate, his eyes bloodshot.
The talisman burst out into flas, causing Eterna to beco shocked as she tried to retreat, directly kicking his face while sorsaulting.
However, it was useless.
*Booom!~*
A sphere of light abruptly encased the explosion, sealing the explosion within. It was none other than Davis who had his hand reach out, his expression cold.
Noraus Aurafla appeared to be instantly apprehended by Yotan, Mingzhi, and two others. However, he grinned with his tongue out, "Wrong move."
*Whoosh!~*
Instantly, soone from the seating area burst into the utmost flight with an extre speed towards the Davis's Family seating area.
"What!?" The Realm Masters could barely react. Even the Fire Phoenix Realm Master, Warren Aurafla, seed shocked out of his wits.
It was soone's bodyguard who was at the near layer limit!
Claire barely managed to turn her head and register a burst of black enveloping the entirety of her vision. In that mont, the only thing she could realize was that she was the target.
*Bzzz!~*
However, her hearing registered the sound of lightning later, noticing that her husband was in front of her, stopping the assassin with his bare hand that plunged into the body and ripped out the heart. Dark lightning rippled out, drawing an arc over his handso yet cold face.
Logan stood in the air, his Empyrean Stage undulations reverberating at the near-layer limit. He was one of the people who received the Realm Core's energy bestowal and had also consud a Gilded Realm Ascendant Pill.
"Accursed Warlock…"
Davis uttered through his clenched teeth, already standing in front of Noraus Aurafla. anwhile, the entirety of his soul force was locked onto every single one of the people present here, giving the extre threat of death if they were to move one muscle.
