Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4698  Traveling With Fairy Thunderblaze

The Eternal Eclipse Bird flew within constraints of the forest mountain region.

From the skies, it seemed like this forest mountain pathway led to a precipice as it raced through a steady increase in altitude. At the end of the line, there appeared to be a ridiculously tall mountain that seemed to even break through the clouds and reach greater heights.

However, within this mountain forest that was densely populated with bizarre pine trees and colored vines that hung down, it was difficult to traverse.

Travelers would have no choice but to pass through the forest since flying above would be similar to courting death, especially in an unfamiliar territory.

Davis, Fairy Thunderblaze, and Rioxys Plume were still on the Eternal Eclipse Bird as they flew past tree after tree. With its decreased size, it was nimble enough to weave through the dense forest. Regardless, he wasnʼt the one controlling the Eternal Eclipse Bird.

It was Rioxys Plume.

She had become captivated with flying the bird, which she could command, and didnʼt want to let go, so after she asked, Davis had no choice but to relinquish the control to her.

Otherwise, if she waved her hand at them in a sudden fit of anger, their corpses wouldnʼt remain.

Standing behind Rioxys Plume, who joyfully controlled the Eternal Eclipse Bird with soul transmission commands and even was precise with it as she rode the bird skillfully, Davis had to admit that she was better since she could see farther ahead than him with her perception.

Nonetheless, he gazed at her, trying to figure out her true strength, but his perception wasnʼt enough.

If his perception wasnʼt enough, he liked to think the observed entity was above Mid-Level Exalt Stage.

However, Rioxys Plume was skilled in concealment as a darkness spirit. It wasnʼt like every darkness spirit was an innate apprentice of concealment, but most were, and Rioxys Plume wasnʼt any different. Therefore, he couldnʼt decide if Rioxys Plumeʼs prowess allowed her to cross more than five levels and reach High-Level Exalt Stage, which ranged from Level Seven Exalt Stage to Level Nine Exalt Stage.

ʼHmm… A spiritʼs prowess rarely ever changed when they broke through to the next stage. Bylai told me Rioxys Plumeʼs base prowess in the Empyrean Stage was on the low side due to her mixed bloodline as an Emperor Grade Spirit and possibly a Celestial Spirit. Thatʼs like missing two tiers in the middle.ʼ

Davis inwardly exclaimed as he thought about Heaven-Tier Spirit and Empyrean Grade Heaven-Tier Spirits.

ʼItʼs a miracle an Emperor Grade Spirit father managed to obtain a Celestial Spirit mother. Still, regardless of their history, Rioxys Plume inherited both of their spiritlines. As a half-Celestial Spirit, she could be powerful, but as a half-Emperor Grade Spirit, she wouldʼve found it difficult to excavate her potential without resources. Bylai took note of this point and thoroughly rectified this problem by feeding her compatible resources.ʼ

ʼAs a result, Rioxys Plumeʼs battle prowess increased in the subsequent years until she entered the Empyrean Stage whereupon her prowess dropped. It makes sense since she only carries a half-Celestial Tier Spirit bloodline. Then it dropped again when entering the Exalt Stage. Therefore, it should be more or less seven levels. Nine levels in a compatible attribute region.ʼ

Once he thought of it like this, Davis nearly sucked in a cold breath.

If Rioxys Plume entered a darkness region somewhere within the Shard Continent, then her prowess would most likely eclipse Level Nine Exalt Stage.

Fairy Thunderblaze noticed Davisʼs tremble, ”What are you thinking?”

Davis turned to look at Fairy Thunderblaze.

She was indeed a beautiful, charming, and mature woman. Her elegant crimson-purple robe perfectly emphasized her flamboyant yet imperial aura, as well as her well-proportioned body.

Behind her crimson veil, he had no doubt she had an astonishingly beautiful face that could easily mesmerize people. Of course, if that face didnʼt have dubious intentions toward him and his harem, it wouldʼve been even more perfect.

Davis wanted to reply, but Fairy Thunderblaze continued.

”Iʼve been thinking. To excavate and extract all the resources in just this Shard Continent with over a few million Immortal Emperors, I estimate it might take hundreds and thousands of years, yet when the passage is granted, the secret realm will remain for no more than a hundred years, and it should have been the case in the past as well, making it difficult to even extract a few percent of the resources. Yet, it seems to be enough…? With how hungry the majority of the powers seem for Primarch Grade resources, I canʼt fathom how the human race survived against seven other galaxies.”

Davis blinked, thinking great- no, bandit minds think alike since he also had this thought for the past few days.

”I didnʼt manage to find an answer for it. However, it is natural to assume that in the past, resources were gradually expended over time. Without a Golden Era, perhaps resources at the Primarch Grade are hard to come by in the Greater Realm. If this is true, we shouldnʼt be in the Desolate Era but a Stable Era.”

Fairy Thunderblaze nodded, ”True, weʼre the harbingers of the Desolate Era, so it makes sense that we havenʼt arrived there to the Desolate Era yet.”

”…” Davis went speechless.

By taking control of Realm Cores and using them repeatedly, he was indeed bringing the Desolate Era earlier.

Nevertheless, he continued, ”Do you know the limitations of the spirits?”

”Limitations?” Fairy Thunderblaze looked at him with an inquisitive gaze, ”Do you mean their cultivation limit or decrease in prowess? Otherwise, they donʼt have much limitations like magical beasts.”

”Both. So you know both. I will go through it once again.” Davis smiled, still giving an explanation if she was just posing ignorantly or if he was wrong.

Earth Tier Spirits, which were mortal spirits ranging from Mortal to Emperor Grade, had different cultivation and prowess limitations, but particularly, Emperor Grade Spirits could reach the Ninth Stage upon adulthood if they were born wild and could reach the Immortal Stage. However, after reaching the Immortal Stage, if they didnʼt make the effort to increase their prowess, it would start to decrease until they hit the hard limit of the Immortal Emperor Stage. They wouldnʼt be able to cultivate more unless they mutated and stepped into the next tier.

Likewise, wild Heaven-Tier Spirits of Immortal Grade reached adulthood upon entering the Immortal or Immortal King Stage. However, after reaching the Immortal King Stage, if they didnʼt make the effort to increase their prowess, it would start to decrease until they hit the hard limit of Empyrean Stage, after which they need to mutate to become a Heaven-Tier Spirit of Empyrean Grade.

For a wild Heaven-Tier Spirit of Empyrean Grade, it reaches adulthood at the Empyrean Stage or the Exalt Stage. The latter possessed higher ranking. Likewise, after reaching the Empyrean Stage, if they didnʼt make the effort to increase their prowess, it would start to decrease, after which they would need to mutate to become a Celestial-Tier Spirit to improve vastly.

Davis argued that Rioxys Plume also experienced a drop in prowess due to her half-ordinary spiritline, but she had much more potential, wanting to place her in a particular tier.

”Indeed,” Fairy Thunderblaze agreed with his explanation, ”Spirits donʼt always fit into these constraints, so it becomes difficult to rank them. Regardless, by process of elimination, we can fit her into being a Heaven-Tier Spirit of Empyrean Grade for now. If she does excavate her Celestial-Tier Spiritline, then she would be overpowered within the same realm like an Alpha Exalt.”

”…”

Davisʼs brows raised as he heard something new.

So Celestial-Tier Spirits at the Exalt Stage are comparable to Alpha Exalt.

It was not something even Awudan knew of since Celestial Spirits were extremely rare in the Greater Realms. For fear of being used as a resource, they would live in Lower Realms or random celestial bodies.

Seeing that the conversation was fruitful, Davis couldnʼt help but add, ”Itʼs just a matter of time before I come to know about Divine Lightning. Why donʼt you tell me what it is? Weʼre helping each other out, arenʼt we?”

His lips curled while Fairy Thunderblaze stared at him with her lush black eyes that occasionally rippled with a crimson hue, displaying the ferocity of her unique physique.

Thanks Emross for the Magic Castle!
