Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1188 Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape

It didnʼt take long for Davis and the others to arrive at their destination, at the northern periphery, just before one can enter the outermost area of the inner region. In this place, the ground was scorching red while lava flowed in a few ditches like a stream. Purple lightning still fell from the skies, but their prowess was no longer at the sixth stage but mainly at the seventh stage.

Seldom, a few eighth stage purple lightning bolts also fell, but due to the low density, unless one was really unlucky, they were unlikely to be hit by one.

Davis arrived at the place and looked around, managing to spot some shady colors over the many rock formations.

”There...” Sophie quickly found as she pointed, ”Thatʼs where one of the ores Iʼm looking for is situated, the Blazuk Ore.”

Davis followed his gaze in her direction and saw that there reddish-grey spots over a tiny elevation thirty kilometers away. However, when he panned his gaze a bit towards the side, he saw a magical beast slowly making its way over to that place along with a few other magical beasts following it.

Except for the biggest oneʼs height, they all possessed an ape head with light-red eyes, a fifty-meter tall crimson-black body, and intense muscles that were scorching with a crimson crystal gleam.

”Mhm? Thatʼs the Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape?”

Davis recalled these magical beastsʼ features and matched them with a magical beast he had read about before.

”Mhmm...” Sophie nodded her head, ”In the inner region, thereʼs a fire forest, and that is where they stay, claiming it as their territory... They are under our Alstreim Familyʼs tribute rule as they are just a King Rank Species, but they do not bother about the status quo just like the Twin-Shelled Earth Tortoise.”

”If they want to, they could kill me as they see fit...” She warned.

”I see... But fire forest, you mean trees that are fire-attributed...?”

”Yes... Likely, this is a patrol team that is sent to collect these ores for their young onesʼ growth. After all, specific magical beasts like the Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape can eat these ores for increasing their cultivation base.”

”By the way, the crimson crystals located on their forehead, back of their nape, their arm and leg muscles are also used in forging. They are also helpful in creating a few fire-attributed decorations, as well as cultivation resources that help transform the heaven and earth energy into fire-attributed heaven and earth energy to be absorbed into our bodies.”

”It is helpful to set up a cultivation room, specific to fire-attributed cultivators like me. Perhaps, at least eighty percent of the Elders have it their room to help with increasing their cultivation base while also aiding in improving their comprehension of Fire Laws.”

Davis chuckled softly. He had complete resources for his breakthroughs in cultivation and comprehension, so he had no need for these kinds of resources in the past. If not, and he was broke, he would have to settle for this like those Elders.

”Alright, my luck is not bad this time... One Low-Level King Beast Stage and six Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Magical Beasts. Perfect for me to test my Body Tempering Cultivation and Soul Forging Cultivation against multiple opponents, but this time, watch me assassinate the boss before taking down the lackeys.”

Sophie grinned as she giggled while stretching her eyes, ”This time, Iʼll be watching with my two eyes widened!”

”Hehe... You wonʼt find me even if your eyes come out!” Davis disappeared into thin air, causing Sophie to blink.

No matter how she tried, she couldnʼt sense or see him anymore, which made her a bit amazed. She felt that even if she saw it again, she would feel the same emotion. Turning her head, she saw the Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes slowly walking towards the Blazuk Ores as if they owned this place.

”Hmph! The resources here belong to the Alstreim Family! Why do they always take it back and give a few as a tribute?” Sophie couldnʼt help but mumble reluctantly.

These magical beasts were also a problem since their strength proved to be far stronger for the younger generation to handle, and so they couldnʼt obtain resources as they liked. As for the Elders, theyʼd rather not take it as there was the case of forceful acquisition from the mid-sized territories.
