Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 830 Foundations

Elder Towerfall flew back as he hurriedly tried to circulate his martial energy to eradicate the Conferred Queenʼs martial energy that was wreaking havoc inside his chest. He found it difficult to erase, but he was able to dissolve it with his High-Level Martial Sage Stage forcefully!

ʼHow is this possible!? How is she able to send me flying once again!?ʼ Elder Towerfall was in disbelief.

He repeatedly spat mouthfuls of blood into the air as he flew to the Towering Cloud Hallʼs ark, and just when he was about to crash into it, he finally gained balance mid-air! Just when he suppressed his injuries and looked at the destroyed martial platform, he found no Conferred Queen.

”Where are you looking at?”

Hearing that voice, he speedily brought his hands towards chin when a fist abruptly connected!

*Boom!~*

The sound of collision along with the sound of bones cracking like iron rang out!

Elder Towerfall was sent flying again except this time; it was directly above into the skies! A few of his fingers broke while his chin also possessed a few fractures that left his jaw caved in. Blood leaked from his mouth, but he forcefully looked down and saw the Conferred Queen chase him with an unbridled killing intent gleaming from her eyes!

He became shocked!

ʼThe Conferred Queen is in the Martial Sage Stage!ʼ

Elder Enye and Elder Havle Alstreim were shocked as well! Initially, they had thought that the Conferred Queen used an artifact or talisman to curb the force of an attack from Elder Towerfall, and so Elder Havle Alstreim instantly tried to catch up to them and protect the Conferred Queen.

Contrary to his expectations, when he arrived above Alchemist Davis, the Conferred Queen launched a fist with no undulations at Elder Towerfall. It all happened all too quickly that he was unable to tell what the Conferred Queen was releasing wasnʼt Martial Master Stage undulations, but Martial Sage Stage undulations!

Never in their life did Elder Enye and Elder Havle Alstreim think it was the Conferred Queenʼs own cultivation base that sent Elder Towerfall flying like a punching bag! They became both shocked and appalled to find out that her cultivation was at Martial Sage Stage! However, when they realized that it was just a Low-Level Martial Sage Stage Cultivation Base, they became horrified!

To send a High-Level Martial Sage Stage cultivator flying with a Low-Level Martial Sage Stage cultivation, what amount of battle prowess did it take for the Conferred Queen to be this powerful!?

This was the Eighth Stage! How could it be so easy to cross levels!?

Furthermore, the Conferred Queen actually possessed the advantage despite being two levels lower! That could only mean that she perhaps had the battle prowess to even fight against opponents who are three levels above her!

There was a sound of two fists colliding, and the winds generated by the collision of the force came at them like a tidal breeze that swayed their hair strands, but for the other people, they were directly pulled away from the ground and sent flying into the distance. Just the wind generated from the physical force from the two Martial Sage Stage Expertsʼ mighty clashes that were from kilometers away in the skies was enough to send them flying uncontrollably!

If they actually fought on the surface, then the ordinary cultivators mightʼve directly exploded from the remnant force that struck their way!

Davis remained flabbergasted!

Looking at Princess Isabellaʼs battle with Elder Towerfall, he couldnʼt keep up with their movements at all! There was only a golden and yellow glow that flickered in the sky, followed by booming sounds that generated waves and tides of wind that struck them in the face. It was like a battle that was straight outta one of the popular animations he watched.

*Rumble!~*

The two figures constantly met and separated, creating overwhelming power that shook the airspace. He could even see the air vibrate with every sound that rang out from their collision.

If they were battling on the ground, he had no doubt that there would be a deep crater created with each punch, the craters at least expanding to the size of kilometers! If this was a volcanic mound below, even lava would start to flow out. After all, even the martial platform created from king grade materials wasnʼt left intact!

Fortunately, these were just grassy plains.

However, forget the scenery. Many people would undoubtedly explode into meat paste if they really were to fight above the ground. He could see why Princess Isabella launched Elder Towerfall above the ground level. It was to protect him and the others from the terrifying shockwaves!

”Could it be that she has an unblemished foundation!?” Elder Havle Alstreim inadvertently yelled out his thoughts. He still couldnʼt get out of his shock as he looked at the battle in the skies. As for trying to protect the Conferred Queen, he abandoned that thought because the way the Conferred Queen was fighting now was a clash of fists.

If he neared them, then even he mightʼve had to give it his all to separate them. Besides, the Conferred Queen looked as if she needed no help at all!

Davis also became assured that Princess Isabella had the upper hand in this fight with a certain mean.

Hearing Elder Havle Alstreimʼs shout, he quickly recalled the Classification of Foundations he memorized in the Ethren Empireʼs Imperial Library and understood it in his mind after going through it once. It was almost quickly and simple as a scan.

It seems that there were five types of widely accepted classifications of foundations in the upper powers of the Fifty-Two Territories.

Flawed, Blemished, Flawless, Unblemished, and Perfect.

Flawed meant that oneʼs cultivation advancement was full of or riddled with flaws. It essentially meant that oneʼs cultivation is mostly unstable. It is possible that cultivation could easily regress at this point, influenced by various conditions, perhaps even collapse and regress if oneʼs potential is extremely weak.

Blemished meant that are few flaws that could lead to instability when a person is injured or has no potential, but it is mostly stable. Most cultivators are at this point because of the lack of resources to stabilize their foundation. At this point, being gravely injured can lead to instability, and lack of vitality could instantly mean regression.

Flawless meant that there are no visible flaws that would affect a personʼs cultivation, meaning that a personʼs foundation is stable. Every cultivator needs to be in this flawless zone to keep their cultivation healthy, and it is optimal at this point to try a breakthrough to the next level, meaning that it is not adverse for one to breakthrough to low-level to peak-level of a particular stage upon peaking their current level.

Unblemished meant that even the hidden flaws, which usually didnʼt cause instability and harm, are nowhere to be found. This is the most optimal point to try a breakthrough to the next stage, meaning that it is not adverse for one to break through to the next stage, from peak-level of a lower stage to the low-level of a higher stage. At this type, the foundation is extremely stable that once the cultivator crossed the stage with unblemished cultivation, the chances of their prowess dropping would remain less.

As for a perfect foundation...
