Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 4845  Less Prowess But More Power?

”…”

Davis blinked.

He never knew Omega Exalts, Absolute Primarchs, or Primal Exalt Beasts were so powerful. They were comparable to True Deities as long as they possessed a battle prowess that was four levels higher.

His mind flowed with many thoughts before he was taken aback.

The difference between Level Nine Empyrean Stage to Level One Exalt Stage was ten levels higher. However, the difference between Level Nine Exalt Stage and Level One True Deity Stage was only eleven levels higher.

Still, this was not a huge issue in his mind since gaining prowess in the Exalt Stage was incredibly hard, and each level was wide enough for cultivation to last hundreds of millions of years if they just relied on Transcendent Crystals.

With a single level encompassing a vast chasm, it was not strange that the level difference between stages didnʼt expand to a high degree.

Regardless, he noticed that since Omega Exalts gain double the prowess as a normal or an Alpha Exalt, they wouldnʼt lose out to True Deities even as their levels keep increasing.

He guessed that they had the same progression as True Deities when it came to strength. In other words, as long as they are an Omega Exalt that possesses four levels of strength, then even in the Level Nine Omega Exalt Stage, they would still be comparable to Level Nine True Deities.

This also means the energy requirements for Omega Exalts to progress would be insane, not to mention many other factors he couldnʼt think of.

His gaze fell on Fairy Qiyra Darkstar, his sapphire eyes blinking innocently, ”Are you a Level One Omega Exalt?”

”You could say so.”

”How long have you been in this level?”

”As long as I can remember.” Qiyra Darkstarʼs voice was as melodious as it was cold and ruthless.

”…”

Davis raised his hand and palmed his mouth. He looked away, wondering how freaking long it would take him to reach that kind of level when he was already comparable to a Mid Stage Exalt with just his base prowess alone.

Could he even reach the Exalt Stage in these Three Layers?

From what Fairy Qiyra Darkstar said, he recalled that she had entered the Primeval Universe Ruins since she indicated that she found the replica of the Necklace of Light and Darkness there.

If she couldnʼt even get resources to increase her power even after going there, it forced him to consider how hard it would be for him to increase his cultivation base.

It seemed more bleak than he had imagined, but in the end, as long as his family was safe here in the Second Layer, he was willing to spend a lot of time improving slowly.

This brought him the next question, which he asked.

”Then, do you know the true ceiling of the normal and absolute layer limit? Which levels are they?”

He couldnʼt rely on Awudanʼs memories alone, as they might be wrong.

”I know. I was careful not to exceed it.” I

Illumina said coldly, suddenly bringing back her cold demeanor, ”The Second Layer indeed has two types of layer limit. The normal layer limit is for everyone, and the other absolute layer limit is for Realm Masters. The normal layer limit is somewhere between Level Seventeen and Level Eighteen Exalt Stage, and the absolute layer limit is somewhere between Level Twenty Five and Level Six Seven Exalt Stage, which is also considered to be between Level Three and Level Four True Deity Stage.”

”Sheʼs right.” Qiyra Darkstar agreed with her in a calm tone.

Davis nodded, thinking he would not be able to become an Exalt in the Second Layer. He didnʼt particularly feel disappointed since he already knew it would be like this.

”That means your prowess is five or six levels higher, but then how are you remaining here without breaking the layer limit? If a Level One Omega Exaltʼs battling prowess starts at Level Twelve Exalt, wouldnʼt that mean you only have a prowess of two levels higher since an Omega Exalt gains double the prowess of an Exalt with each increase in prowess?”

Qiyra Darkstar simply raised her hand again, showing off the plain ring in her hand.

”Wearing it takes its toll. In one way, Iʼm sealed by it.”

”That means…?”

”Iʼm at Level Three Omega Exalt Stage with a battle prowess thatʼs four levels higher, but with the ringʼs passive ability, I make it so that Iʼm Level One and also suppress my physiqueʼs prowess. What is real is not real while I wear it. This- is an exception to the rule.”

”…” Davis nearly wanted to scratch his head.

Calculating their true prowess was already hard, but now, with the usage of the replica of the Necklace of Light and Darkness, it was even more confusing.

”On the other hand, Malzor Hexadra is still a Level One Absolute Primarch, but he has the power of the realm behind him. Hence, I presume his prowess is around three levels higher while the Realm Core provides him with three more levels, allowing his prowess to reach the absolute layer limit of Level Three or Level Four True Deity Stage.”

Davis was shocked. Why was the prowess of these powerful Omega Exalts so low?

He probed more, ”So the Venerable Knights are worse compared to others in this stage?”

”No. Some of them indeed have a prowess thatʼs two levels higher, which could be considered worse. However, that is already extremely good. To even retain a single level of battle prowess in the Exalt Stage is a source of happiness and pride in any power. Family members, sect members, all of them will worship you, wanting to become you or do anything for you.”

”…”

Davis blinked, not expecting such an answer.

Qiyra Darkstar narrowed her eyes at him, knowing how powerful he was since he could stand against a True Deity without lowering his head as a mere Level One Empyrean. Even a snort shouldʼve killed him, but he stood through their battlesʼ shockwaves as though he was already an Exalt at a high level.

”On the other hand, even with my initial evaluation, you- donʼt seem so simple. Master wants to make it up to you, but you have made such a mess. Iʼm not sure what sheʼs going to say about it.”

”…”

Davis shrugged, ”If she wants to distance herself from me, tell her to do so without having to feel guilty. Iʼve decided to be ruthless as long as it could ensure my familyʼs survival. You should do the same if you want to ensure your masterʼs survival.”

”Iʼve killed more people than you think.”

ʼSomehow, I donʼt doubt that…ʼ Davis didnʼt bother to word it.

He knew Qiyra Darkstar was highly dangerous. But seeing that she was quite willing to talk, he continued to ask questions.

”Then do you know the requirements for one to become an Omega Exalt using Utmost Laws?”

Davis asked, wanting to know where he stood among the giants and to also prepare for his breakthrough to the Exalt Stage in the future.

Unexpectedly, Qiyra Darkstarʼs pupils dilated.

”You know too much. No wonder you summoned a ridiculous tribulation that caused the heaven and earth to turn desolate.” She chided him coldly.

Illumina also looked stunned. It was the first time she had heard about Utmost Laws. However, she knew about its existence beforehand, knowing it was taboo to discuss, although it wouldnʼt particularly harm Exalt-level characters since they were powerful enough to near it but not capable enough to grasp it.
