Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1169

Davis turned to look at his left arm and saw that it was pristine without any form of internal deformations or internal injuries. He had to praise Fallen Heaven for its extraordinary powers, the power that could heal almost everything, the life-like laws.

However, his left arm was nothing more than a powerful mortal arm, not even at the First Stage.

Nevertheless, Davis wasn't discouraged as he saw the useless and weak arm that would get destroyed within a matter of milliseconds if he so just waved his hand using his left shoulder to attack. He was sure that his bones would get cracked from the joint's power discrepancy if he just simply swung it with an extreme one percent use of force.

He invoked the white tendrils in Fallen Heaven as the life-like energy began to spread throughout his left arm.

*Hmmm~~~*

A low hum grew apparent before his left arm was covered with a pure white hue. It appeared holy and sacred, filling the entirety of the cells in his arm, making it rise in cultivation as it strengthened.

*Crack!~*

The bones cracked, and simultaneously, his left arm became as strong as the arm of a Low-Level Copper Stage Cultivator, the First Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation.

Davis smiled, 'As expected. No wonder grandfather Edgar Alstreim regained his Essence Gathering Cultivation Base so quickly after having his dantian healed. This life-like energy is capable of restoring limbs back to their original state after being healed by its divine energy.'

'How heavenly!'

Davis sucked in an intense amount of cold breath.

Nevertheless, he knew that it is possible to possess more outstanding prowess than a Low-Level Copper Stage Cultivator with his current arm that contained a Low-Level Copper Stage's energy.

Davis mused before he continued pouring the like-like energy into his left arm.

His arm kept trembling, and cracks kept echoing.

Mid-Level Copper Stage!

High-Level Copper Stage!

Peak-Level Copper Stage!

The Second Stage, Bronze Stage!

The reddish-brown battle aura coming from his left hand turned into a brownish one in just a few seconds. However, Davis didn't stop. He continuously poured in the life-like energy while expending his soul force.

*Crack!~*

*Crack!~*

*Crack!~*

*Crack!~*

The Third Stage, Iron Stage!

*Crack!~*

*Crack!~*

*Crack!~*

*Crack!~*

The Fourth Stage, Silver Stage!

Davis's eyes narrowed. The more his bones broke, and the more his cells were rebuilt again and again by the increasing cultivation base, the more pain he should feel. However, there was only a sense of comfort over his left arm because of the life-like energy. It was as if someone was massaging him, making him feel relaxed.

*Crack!~*

*Crack!~*

*Crack!~*

*Crack!~*

The Fifth Stage, Gold Stage!

*Crack!~*

*Crack!~*

*Crack!~*

*Crack!~*

At this moment, the golden battle aura receded, replaced with the yellowish-golden martial energy that surged out of his left arm throughout the room, toppling the furniture around.

The Sixth Stage, Martial Ascendance Stage!

Davis frowned and erected a soul force barrier around him and continued to restore his cultivation base.

*Crack!~*

*Crack!~*

*Crack!~*

Davis's eyes widened in excitement as his cells and bones once again experienced a change!

*Crack!~*

The Seventh Stage, Martial Master Stage!

*Crack!~*

*Crack!~*

High-Level Martial Master Stage!

Davis clenched his fist as a smile remained deeply entrenched on his lips.

His left arm had recovered entirely!

'Fallen Heaven, you didn't disappoint me!'

As it said so, it was able to heal almost everything to its unharmed state, or perhaps pre-harmed state.

It took him an hour to regenerate his left arm to his peak, and the soul force he expended was only around twenty percent. Conclusively, it was obvious that if his Body Tempering Cultivation was lower, it would only require less soul force.

'Mhm... on the offchance of me losing my entire fleshly body, will I be able to make a new one with just my soul...?' Davis mused, but he was unable to answer that question.

Either he needs to test it on himself or try on some other ghost that's roaming around after losing its body.

Davis moved his left arm for a while, feeling relieved before he cast a look at the opposite room, his gaze seemingly penetrating the door.

Sophie likely thought his left arm's disappearance was an illusion through the usage of Derelict Extinction Lightning's illusion prowess. However, he didn't provide any explanation to it either as he let it remain a misunderstanding.

He didn't see the need to explain that it was not an illusion but an incredible power that helped him regenerate his left arm in a few seconds.

Although Sophie had now become vital to him, she wasn't as crucial as the wives in his heart as he still felt some distance from her. Still, just like the time with Natalya, he knew that he could eventually fill this gap with more interaction and love. However, now wasn't the time.

He wasn't here to sleep around with new women.

The whole reason he came to this Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago was to perform a breakthrough to the King Soul Stage, and he would do it first before ultimately making Sophie Alstreim his woman!

Although he felt bad for Sophie, he felt that she would understand.

He sat down on the bed and cast a look inside his soul sea.

Around Fallen Heaven, there was ultimately the soul essences he hunted.

The soul essences of an octopus-like magical sea-beast, Amberal-Armored Armadillos, a crocodile-looking magical sea-beast, Shark, and Twin-Shelled Earthen Tortoises were swirling in harmony. They didn't even seem to struggle or even have any life, but the mysterious energy in them was extremely powerful.

Six Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Magical Beast and four High-Level Lord Beast Stage Magical Beasts.

Those High Level and Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Twin-Shelled Earthen Tortoise Soul Essences was something he obtained when the crybaby Twin-Shelled Earthen Tortoises rampaged from his provocation, killing its brethren.

How could he fail to collect when there were free, powerful soul essences that he required were lying around?

Davis inwardly thanked that crybaby Twin-Shelled Earthen Tortoise for aiding him. However, it was a pity that he was unable to kill it because of the massive Twin-Shelled Earthen Tortoises Clan existing on that island.

He mused that the entirety of the Twin-Shelled Earthen Tortoise Clan alone was enough to exterminate the three of them with miserable or extinction-level losses on their side.

After all, there was no way he could sacrifice so much of his soul essence and live to see the next day.

Nevertheless, he began to use Fallen Heaven to refine the High-Level Lord Beast Stage Soul Essences first!

It was time to reach the Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage!

======

In the Purple Guest Palace.

Davis's soul body that was simply on guard suddenly had its eyes shot wide open. He stood up, flying in the air as he made his way towards Evelynn's room.

He made his presence known to Evelynn using some means. After all, he didn't want to disturb her while she was cultivating. However, a minute later, the door opened, and Evelynn appeared, a smile blossoming on her face.

"Mhm? It hasn't even been a week, and yet, you're already here to see me?"

Davis appeared completely like a real human, not transparent at all. He awkwardly chuckled, "Evelynn, I wanted to see you, but of course, there's an important thing that I would like to say..."

"Oh?" Evelynn's brows raised as she kept her smile, "Come in first..."

Davis followed her in before the door closed on them.

Evelynn turned to look at him, her eyes narrowing in question. Abruptly, he felt as if he were trapped with a tigress or something.

Davis couldn't help but chuckle, "Evelynn, I-"

"I know..." Evelynn uttered.

"You know?" Davis turned his head in confusion.

"Well, yesterday, people came looking for Sophie Alstreim, no?"

"Yes..." Davis wryly smiled.

Indeed, people have already noticed her disappearance. At least, the Alstreim Family cultivators weren't incompetent, but what could they do?

He had already taken her away as a guide, and they should've reached her trail. If they don't know where she is, there's no way they're going to find her unless she chooses to contact her family with a messaging talisman by herself.

"You went to the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago, and she is presumed to have gone to the same place. It doesn't take a genius to understand, husband." Evelynn wryly smiled.

"I promise you..." Davis lifted up his hands in surrender, "It was not my intent at first, but Sophie had successfully changed my mind..."

He didn't want her to misunderstand, so he explained what had happened without falsehood.

Evelynn narrowed her eyes after hearing all of his excuses.

"Your arm... is it fine?" Worry welled up in her voice.

Davis became taken aback before he nodded his head, "There's no need to worry about that..."

Evelynn relaxed. Since Davis said that it was already headed back to complete recovery, then it must be. She had no reason to doubt him.

"You are not against us?"

Evelynn went silent for a few seconds. A moment later, she let out a giggle, "In the whole Alstreim Family, perhaps the only woman I approve of is Sophie Alstreim..."

She raised her right hand, and on her wrist was a fiery-emerald ornamental bracelet.

Davis blinked before he recalled that Sophie earned Evelynn's respect by gifting her this Peak-Level King Grade Protective Artifact. He also knew that it was on the expensive side, but to think that it had worked wonders for Sophie now.

Besides, Sophie forged the Grieving Emerald Dagger and gifted it to Evelynn again, which earned her even more brownie points.

'Wait... Was this all intentional? Did Sophie expect this to happen?' Davis couldn't help but laugh at his thoughts.

That straightforward woman didn't know how to scheme but acted on her thoughts and emotions instead. Otherwise, she likely wouldn't have kissed him in the lightning sea. Besides, she went to the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago, trying to get stronger so that she can see him once again, probably. However, she ended up being ambushed by those Amberal-Armored Armadillos, on the brink of exhaustion, maintaining a thin line from life and death.

If this were all a part of her scheme, he really would have to hand it to her and praise her that she was a brilliant schemer than him!
