Chapter 1505 - Broken Spear

Nyoran began to explain to the best of her ability about the other two Mid-Level Emperor Grade Darkness Elementals while Davis listened to her in silence.

When it came to the Plummeting Midnight Sky Rover, Davis rather found it more fascinating than the Twilight Obsidian Butterfly.

The Plummeting Midnight Sky Rover seemed to be ranked fifteenth in the Emperor Grade Darkness Elemental Rankings, while it was said to be a lonely and solitary Darkness Elemental that prefers to freely roam the midnight sky and see new things. However, when dawn arrives, they become enraged and go on a killing spree to kill whatever is in their sight, even crushing mountains and corroding rivers.

Its prowess is enough to reach rank eighth in terms of rankings when it becomes enraged or agitated. However, at usual times, its prowess is worse enough to be ranked at twenty-two.

It appeared to be a moody Darkness Elemental as far as he could infer.

As for the Entombed Darkfall Wisp, the third Mid-Level Emperor Grade Darkness Elemental, it is ranked twelfth and was birthed on the day of a full moon while the atmosphere was full of yin energy.

Its birthplace was in a tomb full of Darkfall Spider remains, which made the air extremely noxious. It seemed to have killed thousands of magical beasts with its darkfall poison in the Dark Moon Crow Avian City before it was captured by one of their Imperial Protectors when it broke out of the tomb.

Moreover, it also seemed that it was a relatively new Darkness Elemental born from the yin and noxious air of the atmosphere and the Darkfall Spider, giving it its name Entombed Darkfall Wisp.

Apparently, it was just recently born, like Starcy, the Purple Star Flame, a Fire Essence that Sophie tamed from his help.

"So, which one of three do you want, human?"

Nyoran asked while she saw him go into contemplation as he lowered his head.

For a while, there was only silence before Davis raised his head.

"Bring me..."

"..."

Nyoran blinked before she nodded, "Alright. If that is what you wish, then I have no problem. In case that Mid-Level Emperor Grade Darkness Elemental is missing or is already taken away by the others while I was away, then I will contact you through this messaging talisman."

"Sure."

"Well then, our cooperation has ended. Thank you for helping me kill Ryzenir, Davis."

Davis smiled when he heard her call out his name while also being polite as she clasped her hands. He never thought he would meet a magical beast like Nyoran out here, but surely, if she could be like this, there would be many more in the Dark Moon Crow Empire.

Perhaps, if he told his women about these civilized traits of magical beasts, they might wholeheartedly accept Nadia.

Nyoran widely smiled at him before she turned around and went away.

Davis watched her transform into a Dark Moon Crow as she shot towards the distance, soon disappearing amidst the fog.

'Well, I really don't care if you bring me my reward or not because my goal has already been achieved.'

He looked in his soul sea and saw thirteen Three-Eyed White Serpent Soul Essences!

Seven of them were at the High-Level King Beast Stage, and five of them were at the Peak-Level King Beast Stage. As for the last remaining soul essence, it was at Ninth Stage, a Low-Level Emperor Beast Stage Soul Essence!

Besides, he was confident that he could have hunted Ryzenir even if he was alone because his current prowess allowed him to do so.

Never in his life would he have thought that dual cultivation would allow him to grow so much in cultivation. He suddenly couldn't help but feel a growing amount of l.u.s.t for a certain proud individual who was of exceptional status, beauty and strength, but he instantly shook his head, berating himself that greed and l.u.s.t shouldn't get the better of him.

'Heh... no wonder those powerhouses are drooling for Ancestor Tirea Snow... Most might not care for her love but just want to obtain her primal yin. Likely, Ancestor Dian Alstreim should've obtained the benefits from dual cultivating with Ancestor Tirea Snow and reached the foot of the next level.'

Davis felt like Ancestor Dian Alstreim breaking through was just a matter of time at this point. He felt that it was a pity because if Ancestor Tirea Snow's Body Tempering Cultivation had been more relevant, her vitality would've directly correlated into a further increase for Ancestor Dian Alstreim.

Nevertheless, they were marrying for love and not for strength, so he was thinking about needless matters at this point.

Davis stood up, looking around.

'Well, it would be bad if Nyoran went back on her word and brought powerhouses to kill me. Even if she isn't such an individual, it would be foolish of me to stay here when we have a messaging talisman to contact each other anytime she requires me.'

Davis decided to use another cultivation cave as he quickly abandoned this one. He arrived at the other side of the mountain by going around and carved a cave again before entering it. He then placed a basic Peak-Level Emperor Grade Concealment Formation obtained from Isabella and readied his cultivation cave.

He sat in the center, but before he could concentrate on refining the soul essences, he took out a spear that had its blade missing.

"Are you still alive or just acting dead?"

It was the Golden Sheen Obsidian Spear, but just a rod at the moment.

"Oh no...! Please spare me...! I'm already gravely injured that I will become dead with another injury~"

It pleaded with a begging voice.

Davis became flabbergasted before he chuckled.

"What happened to your arrogance? Wouldn't you rather feel proud to die in battle?"

"..."

There was no answer but only a kind of grating whimpering from the spear that told him to let it go.

Davis imagined that battling with the heavenly tribulation managed to dent its spirit instead of tempering it. He always had his doubts about the heavenly tribulation's deviation from what he heard. The one he faced was more destructive than nurturing, unlike written in the records.

If he had given a minute strand of the heavenly tribulation lightning he had secured, perhaps, the Golden Sheen Obsidian Spear would've managed to temper its spirit. He felt a little bad to have forced it to fight a battle that it couldn't have won. If it were not for his death energy covering it, it wouldn't have survived the heavenly tribulation's onslaught.

"Ah, I feel a little sad to part with you, buddy. We've been through so many trials and tribulations together..."

"Tribulations, my rod!~ Ah! Let me go~ Let me live!!!"

The Golden Sheen Obsidian Spear screamed at him, almost causing Davis to burst out laughing. A moment later, he stopped teasing it before he solemnly spoke.

"No, I really feel bad. With you in my grasp, I slaughtered many strong foes. It would be a pity to let you go, especially after you helped me cross that botched heavenly tribulation. If I restore or improve you, would you be willing to become my armament again?"

"..."

The Golden Sheen Obsidian Spear appeared taken aback as it became silent. Only after a while did its rugged voice echo.

"Truly?"

"Yes, I mean it."

"Master, I thought you only had hate for me because I didn't let master grasp me."

"Of course not, but you're already calling me master?"

"Master has enough strength to crush me already, much less tame me..." The Golden Sheen Obsidian Spear humbly spoke, appearing to be no longer arrogant.

Davis saw it be obedient in his grasp, no longer struggling like it once had or just a while ago when it told him to leave it alone.

Hearing its earnest voice, he couldn't help but inwardly laugh.

This was the problem he had been facing. Usually, cultivators would find it hard to find weapons to match or increase their prowess. Before, his weapon wouldn't listen to him, but now here he was where his weapons were of lower power than him.

Isabella had given him a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Spear alright, but he didn't feel like using it unless he needed to when facing an overbearing enemy at the High-Level or Peak-Level Ninth Stage. He felt like he bonded more with the Golden Sheen Obsidian Spear as he did with Yama, his Grieving Emerald Scythe. Nevertheless, if those two couldn't keep up, he would have to abandon them.

Such was the fate of armaments even though he found out that they had emotions within them like any other spirits.

Davis didn't think much of their future at the moment as it was all vague to the current him. He contemplated for a moment before he spoke.

"Alright, I'll name you Lancelot. You will become my primary spear if you can keep up with me."

"Yes! I'll try my best to withstand the tempering process to improve myself!"

Lancelot appeared to be excited after a long time of oppression. It also sounded elated to be named like Scala, the protective treasure, and Yama.

Davis kept Lancelot back in his spatial ring and sat down, adjusting his mental state for a good while before he began to concentrate on the refinement of the soul essences present in his soul sea. Using Fallen Heaven's death energy on the High-Level King Beast Stage Three-Eyed White Serpent Soul Essence he brought out of the ring of soul essences around Fallen Heaven, he steadily began to refine.

The whole process was the same as before, boring yet exciting at the same time to watch his soul grow from the refined essence.

However...

'What the... My refinement speed has become faster...?'

Looking at the refined soul essence being chalked out in greater amounts from the High-Level King Beast Stage Three-Eyed White Serpent's Soul Essence, Davis became elated while imagining that this might be one of the boosts he received from entering the King Soul Stage!
