Chapter 1220 - Comprehension From The Viridian Fruit

While Mival, Zanna, and Alia were just rejoicing for the fortuituous breakthrough Alia experienced, Nadia noticed that her master was in danger with the Lightning Sea erupting abruptly!

The other three also belatedly noticed as their eyes went wide as they noticed the heaven and earth energy phenomenon. However, Nadia was already in front of Davis that they didn't feel much harm would befall him.

Nadia's expression was calm as her dark energy surged out when she suddenly stopped making a move. The lightning bolts shot past her and zoomed towards Davis amidst the three other shocked gazes.

"Watch out!" Alia bellowed as her figure flashed, making her disappear in an instant.

She tried to save him but also knew it was too late as the lightning bolts were just a few inches away from him.

'I wouldn't make it!'

If those eighth stage bolts struck him in en masse, she knew that even ashes might not remain! However, Alia's black eyes dilated as she stopped when she saw the lightning bolts began to swirl around Davis instead of jolting him to death before beginning to heal him vainly.

That's right! It was those viridian luminescent lightning bolts that were lured out of the Lightning Sea, and fortunately, it didn't seem like the blue-colored strands of lightning bolts didn't seem to be disturbed at all, making their eyes pop out in confusion and shock!

It was different than what they had experienced in the past! Why weren't those blue-colored lightning bolts attracted!?

Davis's hand was reached out with an enclosed fist as pure white light emerged from him as it encased the viridian lightning, and the viridian lightning that swirled around his hand began to pour into the viridian lightning fruit like they were moths throwing themselves to a fire source.

'Peak-Level Supreme Stage Soul Force... But, it's even stronger... And what kind of energy is that...?'

Mival's eyes were wide as if he were looking at a ghost.

The same could be said about the remaining people and the Lightning Elemental, except for Nadia.

Under the shocked gaze of everyone, the luminescent viridian lightning bolts constantly flooded into the region from the Lightning Sea like they were attracted to the pure white glow before ending up swelling into the viridian lightning fruit.

The viridian lightning fruit's aura became more potent and more dominant as it was constantly being invaded and energized by the viridian lightning bolts. However, Davis's eyes flashed as he knew that it wasn't just the viridian lightning bolts that helped but also Fallen Heaven's life-like energy.

Time passed.

It was just ten minutes under the buzzing lightning, and astonishing silence but Mival and Zanna watched the viridian lightning fruit began to emit an aura of maturity right before their eyes. It was just the start, but they knew that the fruit was beginning to ripen.

What kind of heavenly miracle was this!? Zanna had just said that it would require hundreds of decades to mature, but it had ripened at this moment?

This kind of twist was undoubtedly a slap to her face, but no one thought that instead, contemplating what was that pure white energy enshrouding the viridian lightning fruit? They felt like they could feel at peace with it, making their emotions frighteningly calm but still able to feel all the wonderful things in the world when they probed it with their low seventh stage, peak-level eighth stage and low-level ninth stage soul senses.

It was eerie yet brought a sense of peaceful emotions within them. Feeling the weirdness, they didn't dare to probe anymore but just watched till the fruit began to ripen, beginning to truly feel that this brat wasn't special but completely unique!

Davis waved his hand, and the white glow disappeared while the luminescent viridian lightning bolts reacted as if they had lost the attraction before shooting back towards the Lightning Sea.

The next moment, a strange, viridian glow erupted within the viridian lightning fruit before it sent a wave of spirit undulations towards him.

'Thank you...?'

Davis possessed an amused expression on his face as he could feel the viridian lightning fruit's intent. It was the spirit of this fruit.

However, his amused expression seemed like he was also going to cry.

'Now how am I supposed to kill it so I can use it if required...?'

Its intent was so pure that he could feel the affection in it. It wouldn't be weird now if it saw him as some parent-like figure. He didn't have the heart to mercilessly kill it after it said something like that unless he absolutely needed to it.

In any case, he had no idea what its effects were in Alchemy, and he wasn't an Emperor Grade Alchemist. If directly consumed, it would lead to an excruciating death where it could make him remember his past life as long as the Life Searching Branch is brought to him, so it was good as useless to him at the moment.

He decisively let go of it and began to think about what he had comprehended. He felt like it was just a drop in the ocean, but it helped him comprehend the obvious that he failed to see, that the life-like energy can also help ingredients grow to their full potential, to their maturity as long as the energy and nutrients it required were right by its side.

However, that was the case if it were just the Elementary Intent of Life-like laws he had comprehended because for Fallen Heaven's Life-like energy, which he had used now, the other sources of energy and nutrition were unneeded as it bolstered the rate of growth of this viridian lightning fruit to thousand or more times faster by itself!

The viridian lightning bolts that flew to it were now just supplementary source of energy and nutrition while he invoked Fallen Heaven's life-like energy to ultimately increase its rate of growth! It became the main energy source that helped this viridian lightning fruit grow to its maturity until it ripened!

'Fallen Heaven is really a heaven-defying treasure... I keep hoping that I can reach its prowess one day, but the way it seems, it seems kinda hopeless...'

Davis was both heartened and disappointed at the same time.

'I could only try challenging it after reaching the fabled Immortal Stage by the looks of it...'

His shoulders relaxed, but another headache popped up in his mind.

Regrettably, his secret powers were seen by them now, but who was he? His secret motto was to fake it until he made it possible, as he wanted to avoid needless killing! His deep soul force always made him maintain a sense of reasoning for his surroundings even if he was panicked.

He opened his fist as granules of ashes began to fall to the ground.

Mival and the others noticed that the ashes were white in color and held little to no energy in them.

"A pity that I used the precious life stone, but to comprehend the fabled Life Laws while I used it on this precious yet similar fruit, it was worth it!" Davis clenched his fists as he raised it to the skies as if cheering for himself before he brought it back, releasing his life-like laws through his own soul force.

It was not pure white but a bit greyish in color. Its healing force was less, way lesser than what he could achieve by invoking Fallen Heaven's white tendrils, but it was still the same yet a bit different life-like energy nevertheless. Due to its gentle nature, Davis was able to differentiate more from the death-like energy he could use.

However, his comprehension was obviously way less, considering he expended half a percent of his soul force just to conjure this strand of white-greyish life-like energy. It bordered on inefficiency and wastefulness if he were to use it instead of invoking Fallen Heaven's white tendrils.

But with this act, he hoped that they wouldn't be suspicious enough of his true prowess anymore, mistaking that it was the so-called precious life stone he held that released that pure white mysterious energy.

Well, if they got greedy for it, he would have no choice but to kill them, which he could without fearing anything happening to his soul essence, considering now that the heaven and earth energy phenomenon just strangely restored his soul essence by fifteen percent as Fallen Heaven's white tendrils became activated by their own when he had comprehended the Elementary Intent of Life-like Laws.

That was why the luminescent viridian lightning bolts shot towards him for seemingly no reason at the moment of comprehension. Fallen Heaven's life-like energy that had begun rapidly healing his soul essence was the one that had attracted those luminescent viridian lightning bolts out of the Lightning Sea! To hide this was also why he promptly decided to use the insights he had comprehended to test if the viridian lightning fruit could grow to its peak potential.

It wasn't a failure on his part, but the situation required him to do so. Otherwise, he could've waited until they left this place and returned back to test his new comprehension.

Now, his soul essence had returned ninety-two percent, making him feel utterly calm in front of these two powerhouses and an expert!

Mival and the others watched his act with seemingly wide eyes. They couldn't believe that this brat had just comprehended a grand-sounding law like he had to claimed too and became convinced that it was that precious life stone that had allowed the brat to conjure that kind of energy.

After all, it was so pure and mesmerizing that they didn't think it possibly came from a brat, even if he was at the Peak-Level of Supreme Soul Stage.

Moreover, it wasn't as if their imagination never allowed them to imagine about death or life laws, but to comprehend such a law is near impossible that they didn't even bother thinking about it, yet if it is as the brat claimed it to be, then he had accomplished what they merely considered to be myths!

Davis turned to them as he awkwardly smiled and scratched his head, "I hope you people can keep this a secret from the world, but it's fine even if you do not. However, don't say I didn't warn you all, hehe..."

His voice was utterly playful that the Mival and the others couldn't detect any killing intent from them, but they felt a chill suddenly creeping up their spines nevertheless.

They misunderstood his meaning that the Dragon Queen wouldn't leave them alive if they were to leak this genius's capability.

'So this why the Dragon Queen thinks so highly of him... If his current age and cultivation base remains true to what I've seen, and if the law he had just comprehended were truly the fabled Life Laws, then he could indeed grow into a powerhouse that could alter the way the Alstreim Family is being looked down upon by the world into one of grand and unique power!'

At this moment, Mival was increasingly tempted to accept Davis's invitation to join the Alstreim Family. As a Fey with two other race people, they needed a person like him or the Dragon Queen to grow and live safely, but this person had guaranteed their respect and freedom!

Remarkably, he was tempted to become a protector for this person so he could reap the benefits later!
