Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1793

In a short time, Nadia arrived in the hall where everyone had gathered.

Davis and the others looked at her magical beast figure, elegant yet terrifying. She possessed a dark purple horn with a sharp black tip, causing her horn to radiate a hazy purple light. Her fur remained dark purple, although her dark black stripe patterns over the side of her abdomen seemed to have changed ever so lightly, biologically indicating her breakthrough to High-Level Emperor Beast Stage.

Evelynn, Isabella, and Lea Weiss certainly felt threatened by her aura, although they didn't feel any hostile intention. It was just... a normal glance had them thinking that they might not be able to match her prowess, although it wasn't the case for Evelynn, who still had her confidence as the current strongest.

After all, like Nadia, both her Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation were at Peak-Level Ninth Stage and two levels higher. She knew that even Lea Weiss would be hard-pressed to defeat her when she dominated in two cultivation systems, although the fact that she lacked a cultivation manual like the Fire Phoenix's Scarlet Flame Records did put her in a disadvantageous, no, an equal position to Lea Weiss.

However, she did find a suitable Essence Gathering Cultivation Manual in the Myriad Poison Sect but had yet to decide on practicing it. After becoming this strong, she didn't want to settle for mediocrity and being strong; she found the joy of helping her husband protect the family.

At this moment, a dark haze surrounded Nadia before she turned human. The dark haze left, leaving a sickly pale-looking yet also an empire-toppling woman in their view, making a few of them hold their breaths as their eyes widened.

"Master, the food was extremely delicious, but that didn't help me much as I had to consume a Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source."

Davis nodded before his joyful smile turned into one of wry, "Nadia, this was possible since you were already at the peak of Mid-Level Emperor Beast Stage, but if you want to breakthrough to Peak-Level with your current prowess, then the amount of Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources you need will an amount well over..."

He calculated an estimate before his wry smile became prominent, "... a shy of 500 Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources..."

*Hsss!~*

Everyone couldn't help but suck in a cold breath of air. However, Lea Weiss remained relatively calm, unlike the others, for she knew that not only was Davis telling the truth, but his estimate was also correct.

To become a Law Rune Stage Powerhouse from being a Peak-Level Law Sea Stage Expert, it can be said that the cultivator only needed a Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source.

However, what about the Mid-Level Law Rune Stage? It was said that it took around five Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources to reach that level from Low-Level Law Rune Stage, and for humans, absorbing a single Vein Source alone would take a year if they are at Law Rune Stage, and if they are at Law Sea Stage, it will take many years, well over a decade and this was an estimate considering that they have a High-Level Emperor Grade Energy Gathering Formation.

The time needed to absorb could be shortened, but still, what about when that cultivator wants to reach High-Level Law Rune Stage?

The amount of Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources they needed to absorb became a whopping 20 from 5.

In the same way, to reach the Peak-Level Law Rune Stage, that cultivator would require around 60 Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources, requiring a minimum of sixty years with High-Level Emperor Grade Energy Gathering Formation and half that time with Peak-Level Emperor Grade Energy Gathering Formation.

However, what if that person with High-Level Law Rune Stage Cultivation already had a prowess that was at Peak-Level?

Then they would require around 120 Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources to reach Peak-Level Law Rune Stage! But then, the time taken to absorb had also drastically increased!

But, this wasn't a problem for magical beasts as they could absorb spirit stones way faster, as though it was purely made for them.

But! What about the huge amount of Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources? Where could they find them? It wasn't easy to find them, nor plunder them from others. Hence, the powerhouses of this world ended up taking thousands of years to reach this level, and considering that there are more than ten thousand powerhouses vying for these resources, could they even compete? They could only bash their heads and slowly cultivate at a snail's pace.

Lea Weiss was well aware of how she took around four thousand years from her birth to reach Mid-Level Law Rune Stage without consuming resources like this. It was a complete drag, but because of losing Rakaela, she possessed a heart demon and wasted a lot of time within the sect, cultivating inside because going out was very dangerous for her due to Valerian Rein and his father, the previous Sect Master, also called Ancestor Magnus Rein, wanting to harm her, although they didn't dare to try to do anything funny within the sect.

Still, she had also come to possess vast knowledge and skills in return, although the time taken was still a loss for her.

Nevertheless, if it took 120 Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources for a High-Level Law Rune Stage Cultivator with the prowess of one level higher to reach Peak-Level Law Rune Stage, then what about a High-Level Law Rune Stage Cultivator with prowess that was three levels higher?

It took a ridiculous amount, around 480 Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources!

Therefore, unless Nadia slowly waits out her growth to do the magic, it would require that many, far more than what they possessed even with all those loots they had gained!

Lea Weiss thought all of these but ended up explaining to them all, causing them to look at her with gratitude and understanding. In turn, they made her feel like she was a part of them but yet not as she still felt distant and awkward.

She never imagined that she would be a woman of a young man who hadn't even crossed thirty, much less a part of a harem.

"You're all getting something wrong..."

Davis suddenly spoke, grabbing their attention.

"Nadia's growth is extremely rapid that I suspect that her bloodline potential has already reached Immortal Grade..."

"...!?"

Lea Weiss and the others looked shocked as they looked at Nadia. However, the latter remained clueless as she shook her head.

"I don't know... I lack bloodline memories that would usually be there to guide me, and unless a few months pass, I can't tell if I'm rapidly growing in cultivation or not..."

The people present were dumbfounded, but on the other hand, Davis was convinced that Fallen Heaven's pure death energy could be the cause for Nadia to have such rapid growth. Otherwise, even her heavenly-like mutation that wasn't in her bloodline didn't make sense to him.

"You mean to say that her magical beast species rank is not Emperor Rank but Immortal Rank...?"

Lea Weiss couldn't help but hesitatingly ask to which Davis nodded.

She blinked before her lips moved.

"If that's the case, although Nadia would require the same amount of resources, her growth time would be drastically reduced. She could reach the Peak-Level Emperor Beast Stage in less than two or three years..."

*Hsss~*

She sucked in a breath of cold air from her own words.

If this is the case, then didn't Nadia have the ability to naturally become an Immortal Beast? What was her current bloodline limitation? Was it further away from her current self!?

"Well, I'm just speculating..." Davis saw that he had raised everyone's expectation of Nadia, "We will see what happens a few years later. Even if she doesn't, it isn't a problem as I'm confident that we'll obtain plenty of Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources in the immortal world as we had obtained now..."

Hearing his confident words, Evelynn and the others couldn't help but smile at him.

"Alright, I have nothing else to say. Those who want to have a useful soul body like me, Evelynn, Natalya, Isabella, Sophie, and Niera, come meet me in my room tonight."

"Me...! I want!"

Mo Mingzhi raised her hand, causing Davis to look at her with narrowed eyes before he amusedly nodded.

"There would be an intense soul-splitting pain, but you can handle it."

"What...? Do I look like a crass woman to you!?"

Mo Mingzhi hit his waist, causing everyone to laugh while Davis acted pained before he nodded, "You just hit me. If you aren't crass, then who is?"

"Ahaha!~"

Mo Mingzhi punched again with an embarrassed expression, causing some to burst out in laughter.

Davis saw that all of them were smiling with a glance. Even Lea Weiss, who giggled a bit. He inwardly nodded at this scene of euphonious laughter that sounded like heavenly music to him.

After mingling with them for some time, he left but went back to Zestria Domitian, where he invited her to come with him to spirit lands, which she agreed to before a spark ignited between them before he took her to the bed and ravaged her again.

In truth, he couldn't forget her after seeing her today and indulged in her warmth.

This time, he didn't use a contraceptive pill on her, but she took her own and said that Evelynn gave it to use on herself if she wanted to.

"Why...? Because I don't want to trouble you when I just accepted your invitation to adventure out. I refuse to become a burden. I will even protect the others who come along with us while you cultivate..."

When asked why: Zestria mentioned that she didn't want to trouble him when she agreed to adventure out with him. Her words made him recall how Fiora also did a similar thing, taking a contraceptive pill before she entered the altar with him together and later that night, without letting him know, egged him to impregnate her with such ferocity on the bed.

Fiora only revealed this knowledge at the end of their two days and two nights which bummed him out but also made him feel moved, the same as Zestria because they both said the same thing at the end...

... that they didn't want to trouble him.

In the end, that caused him to become moved, favor Zestria more, and treat her with more respect. He didn't just ravage her but made love with her.

However, since he had an appointment tonight, he bid her farewell and went back to his room, meeting with Mo Mingzhi, Tina Roxley, and Lea Weiss, who looked at him with narrowed eyes outside his room.

"You're late!"
