Chapter 2048: Breakthroughs

After some time, the resonation ended, causing Davis to check the Crest on his forehead and find out that he could not determine the level by the signs it exuded, which meant that it was not a fifth level Imposing Crest but the legendary sixth level Supreme Immortal Crest as he had only heard about it and didn't know the specifics.

However, the fact that he entered Level Four Earth Abstruse Intent and the vigorous martial energy flowing within his body didn't tell him that his a.s.sumption wasn't a mistake. He really felt like punching a vast hole in the s.p.a.ce, causing it to collapse, watching it in ecstasy while roaring like a beast!

'Nope, be suppressed!'

However, Davis's mind was still clear even though a few things haunted him at this moment as he glanced down, looking at his misbehaving rod trying to pierce through his robe.

He heaved a sigh as he began feeling l.u.s.tful. It was the excited dragon's blood invoking his l.u.s.t because the three drops of Earth Dragon Immortal Blood Essence he gained from Isabella have fully a.s.similated in his body at this moment.

When he checked, he saw that Isabella's primal yin essence and the true essence blood it contained was still a.s.similating without losing much of its potency, making him understand that perhaps it would only fully a.s.similate when he turned into an immortal.

Nonetheless, his will wasn't something ordinary as his soul had improved vastly while there was also no woman on his side for him to pounce on.

Nadia was staying in the Golden Palace with his avatar and Myria, absorbing the Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources to improve her cultivation. On the other hand, only Eldia was left with him as she resided in his soul sea, but she was as innocent as a cheerful teenager, causing Davis to instantly reject even when he imagined her alluring body wrapping upon him.

In any case, he quickly brought down his l.u.s.t, calming the raging yang within his body. It took some time but eventually settled.

Reaching out his hand, he clenched his fists ever so lightly, causing the s.p.a.ce to shudder as cracks began appearing a few meters around him.

'd.a.m.n, this awesome power is of not much use here if it just ends up breaking s.p.a.ce and leaving the place...'

He would've experienced a similar situation with Myria if she hadn't taken him to that sealed s.p.a.ce where s.p.a.ce was comparatively stronger.

Nonetheless, Davis saw that his normal prowess in Body Tempering Cultivation had reached the sixth level of Ninth Stage, which is two levels above Peak-Level Ninth Stage. If he got serious, he imagined that his prowess would reach the peak of the sixth level, and upon releasing the Supreme Immortal Crest, his prowess could very well step into the seventh level, which is three levels higher than Peak-Level Ninth Stage!

All this improvement when he was just a Low-Level Martial Overlord Stage Powerhouse caused him to understand that he became capable of battling five levels above normal and even six levels above after activating the Supreme Immortal Crest!

That was almost nearing the level of Myria and Ellia's seven-level upsurge in prowess!

"Haha"

Davis couldn't help but wryly laugh as he thought of prowess, 'I knew I couldn't reach her level without learning something for my body like Reincarnation Laws...'

He shook his head, knowing that Reincarnation Laws were probably considered a Supreme Law, perhaps a stronger one at that. However, he was not full of himself and was satisfied with the superior progress he made. It was just that Isabella wasn't at the same level as him, even though she was the Immortal Inheritor.

'She how much did she love and want to give herself to me...' Davis's expression turned complex.

An Immortal Inheritor like Isabella could very well reach this level if she worked harder than many others, but she chose to give that chance to him by hurriedly making it the Martial Overlord Stage and sacrificing her potential. After all, he had taken her primal yin essence, ultimately decreasing her chances to conjure a Supreme Immortal Crest.

On the same note, s.h.i.+rley had also done a similar thing. She rushed through the cultivation stages to save him, not making much progress in her law comprehension.

All their sacrifices made him truly love them once again but also made him feel guilty as all he wanted was their love and loyalty, not benefits by plundering it from them. If they weren't pregnant at the moment, he would be doing everything in his power to make them powerful as him.

'Clara too'

Her actions alone were worth many mountains of debt.

He deemed that he should bring Clara to the Ice Phoenix soon, but since s.h.i.+rley was going to be the one mediating as the Fire Phoenix Immortal's Inheritor, there were two more months for him to wait.

Until that time, he couldn't help them improve drastically and could not afford to ascend either, even though Myria repeatedly warned him. After all, although the phoenixes apparently supported union between lovers, who knows if their clans bound them to a mission or not?

The whole thing about the so-called Candidates was entirely suspicious to him that he wanted to get the root of it but was still powerless to investigate, not to mention that he had to ascend first.

Nonetheless, after briefly considering the weight of their actions and his responsibility towards his women, he took out the Advanced Tier Crystal Peak Essence Symbol Pill and kept it ready. Beside it, he kept the third and last drop of Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal's Blood Essence ready as well.

'Well, my recent breakthrough into the Martial Overlord Stage should've raised the difficulty of me entering Law Rune Stage by a few times, but at the same time, if I succeeded, I'll become more strong...'

With the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin's blood nurturing his fire and lightning, Davis knew that his Essence Gathering Cultivation would become powerful as his Body Tempering Cultivation, perhaps even more powerful as the body was originally or orthodoxly meant to support the essence's growth.

In that sense, the body was never meant to beat essence at a similar level if one considered the energy reserves but with battle skills and techniques, that changed the narrative as body was considered just as strong as the essence.

Davis faced the same situation at the moment. His Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation were going toe to toe for a while before he breakthrough. Now, it was time he returned to that fierce compet.i.tion between the body and the essence.

But before that, he closed his eyes and began refocusing his mind again, clearing away needless thoughts. After enough meditation, he grabbed the vial and poured the drop of immortal blood into his mouth.

It touched his tongue and flowed down his throat, causing him to feel a searing feeling encroaching his stomach and lower dantian.

*Bzzz!~*

The energy within the drop of immortal blood essence flooded his lower dantian, imbuing the intricacies of extinction, lightning, and fire. However, his Lightning Laws and Fire Laws were already at perfection.

*Pop~*

Davis quickly followed on and swallowed the Advanced Tier Crystal Peak Essence Symbol Pill, gathering more energy to breakthrough. Even before he took the pill, he started circulating the Firestorm World Ode, rapidly gathering the acc.u.mulating energy and circulating them all over his body, doing a full cycle within his meridians and lower dantian.

*Crack!~*

Davis felt the already loose bottleneck become practically non-existent at this moment.

His Essence Gathering Cultivation began to rise while the law of seas congregated into a single point rapidly. However, there were two points of congregation: fire converged into one, and lightning converged over the other.

Davis's body shook, but he didn't let up his concentration. The ma.s.sive amounts of surging energy he prepared for this occasion gathered both formations of runes and started to give them life.

Crimson-gold flames descended, and black lightning flashed around him, the heaven and earth energy beginning to resonate as comprehended Level Four Abstruse Intents of Fire Laws and Lightning Laws.

A few seconds later, the runes that were forming abruptly shone with a blinding light as Davis poured all his comprehensions into them, forming two self-created techniques. After all, unlike a Crest that provides a surge in the body's prowess, a Rune was almost everything, even an attacking move. It could be said to be a self-created technique that every cultivator who reached the Ninth Stage creates, but most were just copies of their predecessors, something akin to slightly changing someone else's homework.

Minutes later, Davis saw two runes surging with energy within his lower dantian, hovering inside the inner world with the utmost presence that he could sense.

His eyes shot wide open, heavily breathing the essence of fire and lightning that gathered around him.

"Law Rune Stage and Supreme Immortal Runes!"

*Hiss!~*

Davis couldn't help but suck in a cold breath of air again, unable to believe that he successfully created two Supreme Immortal Runes. It was always on his mind whether the law seas would undergo an unforeseen change and produce only one, causing him to abandon a Law for the moment or produce two as normal.

But it was normal as he expected. However, because it was normal that he figured long back that he needed more energy. Fortunately, Davis decided to use a pill used for magical beasts on top of having so much energy gathered within him released all at once.

Otherwise, would it be possible for him to create two Supreme Immortal Runes?

He felt that was very unlikely.

'Hehehe once the Pill Tribulation for the Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill ends and disperses, I'll steal heavenly lightning from it and finally refine it!'

Davis couldn't wait to refine the Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill and have the heavenly lightning as dessert! But suddenly, his expression changed.

He had read about the legendary Pill Tribulation before, and it wasn't supposed to be easier to cross. He didn't know the rate of destruction of the pill but mused that it could very well be over sixty to ninety percent. However, his Ascended-Tier Vigorous Heptagonal Emperor Soul Pill had pa.s.sed it, looking like it almost cracked, but he couldn't be too sure because the pill itself was full of energy like it never exhausted itself, trying to escape his grasp.

Did that mean that the pill pa.s.sed without incurring injuries?

If that was the case, then did imbuing karmic virtue actually ease the Pill Tribulation for the pill on top of calling it?

'Then would imbuing karmic sin raise the difficulty of the Pill Tribulation? No it actually brings down heavenly flames instead?'

Davis clenched his teeth, wanting to know the truth so badly.

However, first thing's first. He should meditate and focus more before working together with Tyriele to concoct a Perfect-Tier Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill. The experiment could wait.

However, the fact that he entered the Ninth Stage in all three cultivations made him play with his newly gained powers for a bit of time, even testing his heavenly lightning powers that was not much stronger than his ordinary prowess considering that he didn't possess that much of comprehension into it, which he expected and wanted to gain more starting from now.

Before, he didn't want to interfere and plunder heavenly lightning because he didn't know the specifics of the Pill Tribulation, while on the other hand, Arcadius Skycloud couldn't even hold a candle to a single heavenly flame, instantly turning into ashes, leaving him hanging as he had just started testing what it entailed to use Karmicblight at that time.

Would he be punished for even using Karmicblight? He didn't know.

Nonetheless, only after he was satisfied playing around with his newly gained powers did he sit down again and start meditating. However, even before he could enter a meditative state upon sitting down and focusing, a mature voice rang out in his ears.

"Husband, I found a major lead to the whereabouts of Ivy Aries."

Davis raised his head and saw Evelynn hovering in front of him, her expression filled with a bright yet seductive smile that was entirely natural to her.
