Chapter 928 Ninth Stage Powerhouses

Davis knew that the breakthrough would take a week or more, but if he was interrupted during this time, his breakthrough might fail in the end as the soul essences that he was currently refining might be lost.

He knew that he had to absorb the soul essence quickly as it is refined, or the pure yet refined soul essence would disappear within a few seconds.

Truly, he felt that the refined soul essences were unique resources, perhaps rarer than heavenly resources. He had once figured that he could share these soul essences with someone else like his wives, but without Fallen Heaven's presence to support their soul, he doubted if they would be able to withstand the quick rise in one's quality of the soul essence that led to their breakthroughs in Soul Forging Cultivation.

He felt that it was just not possible for others to grow as he did in Soul Forging Cultivation.

Fallen Heaven was connected to his soul essence, so he was able to withstand such an increase in his soul essence's quality. He felt that it was a good thing that he actively tried to comprehend the mysteries of the soul by resonating with heaven and earth energy. Otherwise, he felt that it would be really difficult for him to withstand further increase in his soul essence, and he guessed that the number of soul essences he would require would also increase in the future!

Who knows? His soul might just collapse on itself after he reached the possible limit bottleneck without comprehending the relevant mysteries of the soul. Even if it were not now, he could probably find himself in a pitfall at later stages in the future. After all, a half-filled vessel with content ends up exploding from the pressure that is built up inside when heated to a tremendous degree.

That's why he also never slacked on Soul Forging Cultivation. As for Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation, he worked hard from the point when he was five years old, especially in Body Tempering Cultivation, as he had even determined himself to become used to pain in this body by getting beaten up by his father.

Although he still used pills to race through in Body Tempering Cultivation, those pills were generally not gentle in nature, but those couldn't be said to be berserk type either. Those pills were varied in the middle, and they equally required him to withstand pain. Then again, the Earth Dragon's blood essence was also a major factor, but since it was obtained by his own strength, it could be considered his achievement.

It was through his own hard work that got him this far in Body Tempering Cultivation.

Only after he obtained the Million Emerald Vines Calamity's nectar did it become easier for him to enter the Martial Master Stage, which he hadn't revealed to any strangers yet for the time being as it wasn't required yet.

There's no need to say anything about his Essence Gathering Cultivation as it too was his own hard work, but it could not be completely considered so as the two Lightning Elementals he had absorbed were from external help.

The Fallen Extinction Lightning is with the help of his father and mother taking the brunt of the backlash while Fallen Heaven helped him erased the Will and absorb the Derelict Extinction Lightning. Only because of these three existences was he able to manifest a Superior Law Manifestation!

Furthermore, these two Lightning Elementals also played a part in increasing his Soul Forging Cultivation.

Hence, it could be considered that he put the most effort in Body Tempering Cultivation, and the least effort in Soul Forging Cultivation while his Essence Gathering Cultivation should be somewhere in the middle.

"Mhm?" Davis abruptly frowned.

"What?" Princess Isabella blinked in askance.

"There are actually two more Ninth Stage Powerhouses in this Grand Alstreim City..." Davis frowned as he felt the vague undulations spreading over the skies like a ripple that came from the distance. It was unbridled and was actually heading in their direction, causing him to frown heavily.

Princess Isabella creased her brows in shock as she imagined that the Alstreim Family actually hid two more Ninth Stage Powerhouses from the public eyes before she shook her head, "The Alstreim Family only has one Ancestor... It should be the Towering Cloud Hall's Ancestor and Falling Snow Sect's Ancestor!"

Davis nodded his head as he too felt that it should be the case, but why were they here!?

He creased his brows and arrived at an answer, "They're probably here for granduncle Daniuis."

"This is bad..." Princess Isabella bit her lips as she too started to sense those two mighty undulations with her physical sense.

However, she also felt another undulation arriving towards them from the middle of the city. All of them were on the way to them, making her become nervous as they were all Ninth Stage Powerhouses!

Davis noticed that Princess Isabella pursed her lips in worry. He imagined that she was worried, so he grasped her hands and looked at her in the eyes.

"Don't be nervous. You are the 'Young Mistress' from a mysterious background, and you truly have numerous methods to escape from their clutches. You have no reason to be afraid."

Princess Isabella blinked before she solemnly nodded her head.

"Good! I'll go greet them in the skies of the Purple Guest Palace." Davis looked towards the exit, his gaze penetrating through the building with his soul sense.

======

Ancestor Dian Alstreim rushed towards the Purple Guest Palace. He didn't expect these two to personally show up as he had just sent away the Hall Master of the Towering Cloud Hall and the Sect Master of the Falling Snow Sect from the Alstreim Family last week.

They had come here to investigate and interrogate Daniuis Alstreim, but since they were denied the opportunity to even meet Daniuis Alstreim, it looks like the big shot replaced them to get what they wanted.

Truly, it has become a headache for him.

He arrived first in the airs.p.a.ce of the Purple Guest Palace and looked at the distance where two silhouettes were making their way in a slow manner, about twenty kilometers per second. Yes, it was slow because Ninth Stage Powerhouses could cross thousands of kilometer in a single second, especially Law Rune Stage Powerhouses, as their speed was said to be capable of essentially reaching to about ten thousand kilometers per second at the max!

Half a minute later, they crossed six thousand kilometers and arrived at the airs.p.a.ce of the Purple Guest Palace as their undulations buzzed around, creating enormous waves of pressure around the Grand Alstreim City.

The people below all felt constricted and suppressed at that couldn't help but bow their heads while trying their best to stand still.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's eyes first lit up as he saw the familiar figure of a superior and magnificent woman before he frowned. He couldn't understand why she would act like this towards him when all is considered, but he didn't have the leisure to consider anything between the two of them as they were in contending powers.

"Could you two retrieve your undulations, or should I be forced to activate the defensive formation of my Grand Alstreim City?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim's cold voice spread out to the vicinity.
