Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 227

”What about me? Am I a genius too? You said so yourself just a while ago . . . ” Davis raised his brows .

”Hmm, I have checked you enough . Since you can fight across levels using your Soul Forging Cultivation, you are definitely a genius and thereʼs no doubt about it . ”

”Hehe, I think my soul is about 5 times stronger . . . ” Davis smirked as he rubbed his nose, quite proud .

Garvin turned smug, ”I inspected and found out that you have no special physique except other than your soul being stronger . ”

”It doesnʼt matter . . . ” Davis shrugged but was confused . Didnʼt he possess the Tyrant Physique?

”Heh, sooner or later, you would lose your advantage of being able to fight across levels and reduced to be merely a common cultivator . ”

”What!? Why?” Davis was shocked! His face expressed worry .

Old Man Garvin shook his head, ”As I said before, youʼll lose your advantage as you advance through stages . ”

”Once you get to the Fifth Stage, it is not easy anymore to fight across stages . You mustʼve realized this at some point . ”

”Itʼs because the rift and the power gap increases by a large margin at every stage, even in the levels of the latter stages . ”

Davisʼs expression turned aghast but his eyes told that he had already expected this to be the outcome .

Davis calmed down and thought to the time he tried to fight a Fifth Stage Soul Forging Cultivator, Elder Severin .

But since he was caught by his neck at that time, he assumed that he lost with Essence Gathering Cultivation and not Soul Forging Cultivation .

Now, it seemed like that wasnʼt the case .

Old Man Garvin shook his head, ”Theoretically, once you get to the Fifth Stage, you will need 5 times the strength to fight across a person of one level above you, meaning that, if you are at the Low-Level Elder Soul Stage, you can fight people who are at the Mid-Level Elder Soul Stage . ”

No wonder . . . It seemed like his Soul was likely three times stronger now, only capable of dealing with Low-Level Elder Stage Cultivators .

He understood that his previous assumption of being able to fight High-Level Elder Soul Stage Cultivators should be entirely wrong .

Davis nodded and voiced out his opinion, ”So the only way I can increase my battle prowess is that if I somehow manage to increase the quality of my soul force and essence by a few times, right?

”Yes, and seeing that you have no special physique and no capable pills, you can forget about that for the time being . ”

”Eh . . . Are you kidding me!? I have the Tyrant Body Physique! How can you say that I have no physique!?” Davis snapped thinking that this old fart must have a screw loose in his head .

”Heh! Tyrant Body Physique? Donʼt make me laugh, there is no such a thing as that . . . ” Garvin laughed heartily .

”Hmph! Iʼm not lying! You can go ahead and check my body . . . ”

”Kid, was your Tyrant Body innate from birth? Who said to you that it was the Tyrant Body Physique? I havenʼt even heard of such a physique . . . ”

Davis shook his head, ”No, I didnʼt have that when I was born . I managed to cultivate it when I ate the Tyrant Fruit, and it was written on the cultivation manual that one would gain a Tyrant Body Physique when done so . . . ”

”Then the answer is simple, your cultivation method simply included body-type laws in it . To even complement that, the author of that cultivation manual must have thought of a method, and that mustʼve been the Tyrant Fruit . It probably helped your body become compatible with the laws which were in the Tyrant Fruit, increasing your prowess in the process . ”

Old Man Garvin sneered, ”You donʼt believe me? Try activating your battle aura . . . ”

Davis activated his battle aura and silver gaseous aura came out, enveloping him .

”See . . . ” Garvin shrugged, ”Your battle aura is tinged with a faint amount of elementary Earth Laws . . . ”

When pointed out by Garvin, Davis also realized it as he concentrated . There was really a thread of elementary Earth Laws floating in his battle aura .

What can he say? He shut his mouth thinking that he was truly frog in a well .

ʼHow come I didnʼt notice it before?ʼ Davis thought for a moment before another thought popped upon his mind, ”Thatʼs right! My revolving core has mutated! You think that can make me possibly evolve it into a physique!?”

”Hmm . . . I noticed it but it is hard to say . The people who have cultivated their physiques are all physiques innately granted through their birth . ”

”Those who have cultivated physiques artificially are people who are either myths and legends . . . Not much is known about them as they have all chosen to not spread their secrets . ”

Davis turned sad, maybe his cultivation might turn out to be weak when compared to these people who possess a physique .

ʼThen I wonder if Clara has a physique?ʼ He contemplated but ultimately wouldnʼt know if it was a physique in the first place .

He could only go to the Alstreim Family Territory to check about Claraʼs Physique .

Even so, Davis still didnʼt believe in Old Man Garvinʼs words . It could just be a misguidance or misunderstanding on his part .

”Here, take look at this . . . ” Davis handed over the Tyrant Body Secrets, Body Tempering Cultivation Manual to Old Man Garvin . He possessed a copy of it since he needed to be sure about cultivating to the Gold Stage, after all, it required tempering bone marrow including other parts of the body .

Old Man Garvin sighed and read the cultivation manual with a scrutinizing gaze .

As he read, he muttered from time to time, nodding to the authorʼs viewpoint in the method but then suddenly, his gaze turned solemn and even his face slowly followed suit .

It was quite a while before Old Man Garvin took his eyes off the manual, he turned to Davis as he asked, ”Who wrote this?”
