Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2104: First Of Her Spirit Kind?

Davis appeared mesmerized by Eldiaʼs countenance at this moment. He spoke with Tyriele and instantly learned that Eldia was refining the third and last heavenly lightning strand she was allotted at this moment, and apparently, she was almost close to completion.

Learning this information, Davis simply waited for a few more minutes before he heard a cracking sound.

*Bzzz!~*

The heavenly lightning surrounding her body grew more powerful as they burst out, while the white crown on top of her head grew more prominent. It was the sound of her crown bones breaking and regrowing, appearing like a manifestation of her body reaching a biological limit and breaking through, and indeed, her prowess at this moment consequently reached four levels higher, causing Davis to smile in elation.

ʼMarvelous… her heavenly lightning has undergone a great change. Its quality is no longer the same as the time when she created her flesh from undergoing heavenly tribulation...ʼ

Davis could see that her lightning had gone from bluish-black with a hint of white tint to part-black and part-white. The blue layer had been overwhelmed by the inner white layer, and now, only the black outer layer and white inner layer existed in her lightning strands that zagged around. Moreover, this was her Body Cultivationʼs lightning that was part extinction lightning and part heavenly lightning.

He could sense that the ratio didnʼt change even now, maintaining a perfect balance but surprisingly, another burst of lightning strands escaped from her body, causing him to witness that her Essence and Spirit Cultivation had also reached that same ratio, allowing him to understand that she had switched to training her Spirit Cultivation while he was sleeping.

All three of Eldiaʼs cultivation surged at this moment, radiating a destructive aura that caused Davisʼs heart to pound in excitement. She could no longer be called a mutated Purgatory Extinction Lightning Spirit but something else entirely!

ʼMoreover, spirits can sacrifice their spirit essence to gain a one-level increase in prowess. Iesha said that only pure-blooded spirits could unleash such prowess, but Eldia could be said to be no longer pure-blooded. I wonder if she can exude such prowess by sacrificing her spirit essence, and if so...ʼ

Davis felt that she could be called the first of her kind in that case.

Still…

”Eldia, control yourself. Youʼre destroying the space here...”

Davis wryly smiled as he saw a crack run close to his hand. There were millions of cracks in the surrounding thirty-kilometer region that Davis felt that the void might swallow him for all eternity if the slightest disturbance caused the huge fissures to break.

Eldia heard him and released a breath full of lightning as she felt reinvigorated. The lightning strands radiating a black-silver radiance shot back to her body as she absorbed them. Her bluish-black eyes momentarily shone white or silverish after reabsorbing what she discharged into the air.

At the same time, Davis recognized something.

On her forehead was a faint lightning symbol that shone with a silver glint, causing him to blink.

ʼIs that a manifestation of her royal status…? But, she isnʼt a magical beast...ʼ

Davis didnʼt understand head or tail about Eldiaʼs transformation, but her new look made her look more authentic noble being. However, if she only acted like it.

”Master!”

A silvery streak of light shot towards Davis before it instantly appeared before him.

”I did it! I refined and absorbed those heavenly lightning strands!”

”Haha!”

Eldia rejoiced while Davis couldnʼt help but burst into laughter as he expected her enthusiastic reply. He reached out his hand, satisfactorily patting her head, rejoicing that she was his same Eldia as he also considered that she could be influenced by the overbearing and conceited character of the heavens he imagined.

”Youʼre outstanding, Eldia. However…”

His gaze became solemn, ”You must be careful when you try to become an immortal. Although youʼre a lightning spirit and, in essence, born from the remnant strand of stray heavenly lightning as you once speculated, you absorbed more heavenly lightning that was plundered from the tribulation clouds. Thereʼs no telling how difficult your heavenly tribulation will be when you face it, so train your skills. Donʼt just rely on your raw prowess, okay?”

”I understand.” Eldiaʼs voice also became solemn, her previous jovial voice nowhere to be heard.

”Alright, itʼs my turn to absorb heavenly lightning. You know what to do, right?”

Davis raised one of his brows, causing Eldia to laugh with an awkward expression, ”Yes.”

This time, Eldia sat behind him, placing her small hand on the back of his chest.

Davis took a deep breath, preparing himself before opening Tyrieleʼs lid and bringing down a refined heavenly lightning strand covered with life energy for himself. He held it between his two palms, slowly absorbing them into his body.

*Bzzz!~*

Starting from the tip of his fingers, he started to refine his body using the concentrated strand of the heavenly lightning.

*Splat!~*

His fingerʼs prowess that was at the sixth level of the Ninth Stage quickly bled upon contact, blood splashing on the ground.

ʼAs I thought. It wonʼt go as smoothly as it was for Eldia...ʼ

Davis wryly smiled. He wasnʼt surprised since there was a two-level difference between his body and the refined heavenly lightning strand, and neither was his body born from the absorption of heavenly lightning. His entire hand wouldʼve turned into ashes without his life energy providing a layer of defense in the tempering process.

However, a black-silver strand of lightning made its way to his finger and mixed with the refined heavenly strand of lightning, causing the tempering process to become more manageable.

Davis saw that Eldiaʼs heavenly lightning actually took over the refined heavenly lightning strand and started to temper his body. With Eldia controlling the refined strand of heavenly lightning to a minute degree, she was able to cooperate with him in tempering his meridian pathways. Staring at this phenomenon, Davis couldnʼt help but smile with glee, knowing that having Eldia refining the heavenly lightning strands first would be to his benefit.

It was just as he thought that he couldnʼt help but almost want to turn around and praise her.

However, he subdued his inner joy and continued with the tempering process.

He could temper his entire body, but then that would be a waste as he did not wish to create a Supreme Immortal Crest in Lightning Laws for his Body Tempering Cultivation because that might clash with his earth-attributed cultivation method. He wasnʼt willing to go through such complications at the moment and wanted to comprehend the essence of heavenly lightning, allowing him to use it in his Essence Gathering Cultivation.

Therefore, all his concentration was on tempering his meridians pathways to handle the heaviness of the heavenly lightning, and once he was done with it, he would temper the meridian points and the surrounding pores. This way, he could release heavenly lightning from wherever he wanted without feeling pain or having his meridians burst.

After all, this was one of the primary reasons he could not use heavenly lightning even though he had already comprehended a bit.

With the remaining energy from absorbing the refined strands of heavenly lightning, he could continue to comprehend its essence, increasing his comprehension of heavenly lightning. Furthermore, since Eldia, whose source was originally extinction lightning, can use heavenly lightning because of her intrinsic transformation, he was assured that he could use heavenly lightning without a problem once he tempered his meridians with her extra help.

Finally, he could use the remaining energy to increase his Law Rune Stage Cultivation, which had become difficult to increase because he had created a Supreme Immortal Rune, and his prowess was already at the sixth level of the Ninth Stage.

Davis absorbed the refined strands of heavenly lightning from the fingers to the toes, not to forget the head above the neck, allowing them to become compatible. When it met his Yintang meridian point between his brows, even his soul began to grow stronger from the outer tempering. Although he didnʼt let it enter his soul sea and temper his soul essence, he did feel it becoming purer as though imbuing a transcendental aspect to it.

Nonetheless, with Eldia, the tempering process was rather quick, over in three days.

At this moment, blood blanketed Davisʼs entire body, painting him in a fiendish light, but the blood had already dried.

However, he didnʼt stop cultivating but began to comprehend the essence of the heavenly lightning while providing vast energy to his dantian. At the same time, Eldia also began exhausting her spirit energy to bestow him with her comprehension.

It was like a multiplier boost, allowing him to progress quickly in comprehending the essence of heavenly lightning, and since Eldiaʼs heavenly lightning was also a combination of extinction lightning and heavenly lightning, it was highly compatible with him.

It was unknown how many days passed while Davis was in deep meditation over comprehending the essence of heavenly lightning. There were no resonances from the heaven and earth energy, but that was because his Lightning Laws was already at Level Four Abstruse Intent but at this moment very moment…

*Rumble!~*

Heaven and earth energy began descending on Davis, surrounding him with heavy strands of blue lightning.

However…

*Bang!~*

The resonance shattered into thin air, dispersing away in an instant.
