Divine Emperor of Death

However, Davis experienced further pain from circulating the refined energy in his dantian. He kept doing this for seconds, minutes, and hours without any lapse in concentration. He ultimately became drenched in sweat by experiencing all that tremendous pain, leaving him exhausted.

Princess Isabella, who stayed near him, wanted to wipe his sweat to make him feel comfortable, but she didnʼt want to disturb him, so she stayed at a distance, watching him with worry in her eyes.

Days passed.

One day, two days, four days...

Five... Eight... Eleven...

Fifteen days passed!

Princess Isabella, who had also sat crossed leg, indulged in increasing her Fourth Stage Essence Gathering Cultivation, abruptly opened her eyes as she sensed Davis shudder!

In fact, his shuddering happened every once in a while, and every time she would open her eyes to look at him in worry these fifteen days, wondering when his suffering would stop. However, this particular shudder was greater in intensity and different than before.

Princess Isabellaʼs wide eyes relaxed as a smile lit up her face as she felt his essence energy undulations turn a bit turbulent, ʼHeʼs going to breakthrough...ʼ

Davisʼs eyelids trembled.

What garnered his attention was that the last bit of refined energy had traveled to his dantian and assimilated with him. This meant that he had completely absorbed the Lightning Elementalʼs energy and made its energy his alone!

In these fifteen days, he had gained numerous comprehensions in Lightning Laws! Everything was waiting within him to digest and push a breakthrough in the Law Intent, but he didnʼt and instead first decided to push a breakthrough in Essence Gathering Cultivation.

Making an instant decision between the two as he felt that he could waste time or the opportunity to break through, Davis circulated the circulation method of the newly obtained Peak-Level King Grade Lightning Attributed Cultivation Manual, Incursive Barren Lightning Manual, and tried to break through into the Sixth Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation!

As far as he knew from Old Man Garvinʼs teachings, only through comprehending Law Intents at a higher stage could he comprehend the intricacies of a Lightning Laws to a profound level than the Laws that he would comprehend at a lower level!

Davis clenched his teeth for the nth time and invoked his black sparkling law seed that was on his dantian to devour!

The law seed abruptly trembled and started to absorb the revolving core!

The law seed, which was growing on the revolving core started to devour the revolving core as if it were absorbing nutrients and began to enlarge like a balloon.

His condensed revolving core was no joke as it possessed the capacity of an ordinary Law Manifestation Stage Cultivator when he was still in Peak-Level Law Seed Stage!

But even then, his tiny law seed that looked harmless quickly devoured a large significant portion of the revolving core and grew to a massive size.

Then as if it reached its limit, it trembled once and twice before it exploded into a silent pop, a poof!

*Bzz!~~~~*

Arcs of black lightning erupted and danced in his dantian amidst the revolving core that had considerably lessened now. The arcs of black lightning swirling in his dantian was like a sea of lightning, threatening to engulf his whole dantian.

Those deadly looking black lightning arcs did not hurt him anyway but instead, spread around his dantian to the corners of the space while freely dancing, swaying as if they were liberated within.

*Bzzzz!~*

Davis simultaneously experienced a change as he felt his essence energy change in both quality and capacity. Arcs of black lightning erupted and escaped from his dantian as it circulated through his meridians, improving his essence energyʼs intrinsical quality.

The arcs of black extinction lightning danced above his body as if they were displaying the inner situation in his dantian as if it were a manifestation of his breakthrough!

*Boom!~*

Davis finally felt the bottleneck breaking as his essence energy surged like a wildfire! The next moment, he knew that he had successfully stepped into the Law Manifestation Stage!

However, it was still not the end.

He became silent as his subconscious worked in full force to comprehend the intricacies of Lightning Laws.

In a few seconds, the black arcs of lightning grew thick and deadly!

He stepped into the next level, Level Three Lightning Intent!

However, it didnʼt stop right there!

A few minutes passed, and he directly stepped into another level, Level Four Lightning Intent!

Two breakthroughs in Lightning Intent! Just like the first time he broke through to the Law Seed Stage!

Black arcs of extinction lightning kept intensely fluctuating around him as if the apocalypse had arrived, extending to the horizons and reaching Princess Isabella.

However, he controlled the lightning to recede into his body, back into his dantian, where the torrential rain of lightning would remain perpetually like this if he ever didnʼt break into the next stage until he died.

Law Manifestation Stage is the manifestation of oneʼs comprehension. In his case, the manifestation is a mini sea of black extinction lightning swirling in his dantian with his dark black revolving core at the center as it was a black hole.

Davis felt exhilarated at this point!

Not only did he reach the Law Manifestation Stage and comprehended the Level Four Intent of Lightning Laws, but he also tempered his soul and resonated his understandings with the heaven and earth energy while also nearing the Supreme Soul Stage!

The Seventh Stage in Soul Forging Cultivation!

In the past, he felt the bottleneck to be near, but the gap between the Sixth Stage and Seventh Stage is large. He deemed that he still needed four to five months of comprehension to enter the Supreme Soul Stage.

But now...

”Youʼve entered the Law Manifestation Stage, Congratulations!”

A melodious and ecstatic voice abruptly echoed around the cultivation chamber, garnering Davisʼs attention.

He smiled back at her and looked at his own body, which was drenched in sweat. He felt constricted so he couldnʼt help but start to remove his robes.

”You!!”

Princess Isabella became embarrassed as her face flushed red. She didnʼt bicker and turned back, but before she could completely turn, she caught sight of his built form and couldnʼt help but subconsciously imagine stuff that she shouldnʼt at this point in time.

By the time she finished fantasizing, Davis shamelessly poured a considerable amount of spirit water from his spatial ring and drenched himself clean.

Then using his soul flames, he dried his naked body up with skillful control and wore a new set of pant, shirt, and additionally covered himself with a unique purple colored robe with black lightning patterns.

”Iʼm done...”

Davis answered, causing Princess Isabella to turn and look at him with an unamused expression.

”What are you looking at me like that for?” Davis shamelessly laughed, ”Arenʼt we husband and wife?”

”We are not!” Princess Isabella didnʼt even hesitate to retort and grinned.

”If you keep this up, Iʼll address my grievances to your other two wives that youʼre harassing me!”

Davis became taken aback before he smiled as if he won.

”What?” Looking at his smug face, Princess Isabella couldnʼt help but think if she said something wrong.

”You just accepted that you are my wife...” Davis teasingly smiled.

This time, Princess Isabella became taken aback before realizing that she had indirectly included herself as his wife when she said ʼother two wivesʼ before.

Didnʼt that mean that there was another wife, which directly pointed to her?

Princess Isabellaʼs cheeks matured to a crimson hue as she screamed, ”Go die!”

=======

A month passed.

Davis secluded himself in the same cultivation chamber that he set up along with Princess Isabella.

For what purpose?

To break through to the Supreme Soul Stage!

He started to refine the three Low-Level Lord Beast Stage Soul Essences by using Fallen Heaven and simultaneously pondered on the complete Supreme Soul Stage insights Old Man Garvin had taught him.

Besides him, his avatar was also present, pondering over the insights.

With double the speed and comprehension, Davis, who was seated crossed-legged in the cultivation chamber, shuddered!

The next moment, undulations exploded from his glabella, but the force was as gentle as a breeze as it kept getting deflected by the walls of the cultivation chamber.

His avatar smoothly experienced a qualitative change in its soul force and stepped into the Supreme Soul Stage, almost the same time as the process of breakthrough took for his main body, with only a moment delay.

Davis stood up as his sapphire eyes gleamed. His soul force echoed as if it were a living creature and its undulations became more enigmatic as it became seamless, yet vibrant!
