Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-65

Davis clenched his hands in excitement as his face shone with enthusiasm.

The matter of this marriage was pretty much a done deal now, or so he thought.

Poor Evelynn didn't know that he also Body Cultivated to the peak of the Third Stage. If she knew, then she would've vomited blood.

She thought that since he achieved Peak-Level Energy Condensation Stage, then he wouldn't have had the time to cultivate in Body Tempering Cultivation. Even if he had time, he couldn't have possibly reached the Second Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation.

Since it involves immense pain, children won't have the fortitude to cultivate Body Tempering Cultivation. This was common sense among the people of this continent. There were a few exceptions, but they were all children with beast bloodlines.

She planned to cultivate to the Third Stage of the Body Tempering Cultivation in the remaining few months as she had the confidence and resources to do that. She determined herself to withstand the pain which she might obviously experience. So she boldly proposed the deal to him with guts.

'Even, if I lose, it's not like I'm losing anything, heh' She thought as she sneered inside.

"Alright, you can go out now!" Evelynn shouted as she grinned.

"Eh?" Davis was dumbfounded at her change.

"Aren't you the one who said we should talk equally, putting aside our statuses. Besides, we are competing now!"

Davis now understood as he clapped once, "Good! I'll go to the Grand Sea Continent Meet and get myself an Evelynn!"

"You!..." Evelynn's face went red as a beet.

"What? You're the one who accepted us as being equals and competitors." Laughing out loudly, Davis left with grand strides.

After a few moments of silence, Evelynn's face was still red as she blushed so hard at his declaration.

'How did I pledge myself to this shameless prince!?' This was a question which she wanted to know the answer for herself.

...

6 months passed.

Davis successfully learned Alchemy during this period. In terms of knowledge, he is currently even on par with Mid-Level Sky Grade Alchemists.

Even his Teacher Kevin Wood acknowledged him for his ability to recall the things he has learnt.

Kevin Wood was completely gratified with his student.

Unfortunately for his practical lessons, like creating a pill, Davis had no time or luxuries for that. So he wasn't able to teach and Davis wouldn't be able to make a single pill even if he tried his hand without prior experience.

He decided that he will come back from the Grand Sea Continent Meet to learn to make pills.

During this time, he successfully entered the Fourth Stage of the Body Tempering Cultivation, Silver Stage.

Even without his Soul Forging Cultivation, he felt that he could crush his competitors with his Body Tempering Cultivation.

He improved his fighting skills with Hendrickson during the last month. He is now able to use a spear proficiently. Although his skill isn't that great, he is able to harness a power of hundred thousand kilogram strength to crush his opponents and that's only with his normal strength.

Since he has the Tyrant Physique, he can harness two hundred thousand kilogram strength which can easily suppress Low-Level Silver Stage Cultivators and go toe to toe with a Mid-Level Silver Stage Cultivator.

It was now time for him to leave the Royal Capital and head towards the Grand Sea Continent Meet which was being held at the centre of the continent.

Davis and Logan bid farewell to their family and journeyed to the centre of the continent. Actually, Loret Empire was the closest to the centre of the continent, so they were the ones to journey later than anyone else.

The centre of the continent was a Sea and it was named, The Grand Sea, so the continent was named after it as well as no one conquered the continent from ancient times.

The Grand Sea was 100,000 km long, filled with sea beasts that are at the Third Stage. Even Fourth Stage and Fifth Stage beasts reside there, but are wary of humans and won't generally attack during this time because, after a beast enters the Fourth Stage, Spirit Beast Stage, they gain sentience.

Some Beasts even have the ability to gain human form when they reach the Spirit Beast Stage, but sadly, this continent hadn't seen one yet.

There are a lot of Islands in the Grand Sea. The competition will be held in any one of the Islands in the Grand Sea.

Logan, Davis and a lot of others who were going to participate in the Grand Sea Continent Meet, departed in a Sky Grade Ship which was impervious to the attacks of Third Stage Sea Beasts.

The ship was 2 km long and 10 storeys tall, it was able to house a million people for the voyage.

It wasn't luxurious as it was quite crowded. People shared their rooms together, but the people of high statuses had their own rooms assigned to them. Though it was impervious, it was quite slow as well.

"Wow! So many people!!!" Davis shouted at the sight of it. He was standing near the deck.

He had his own room as well. He stayed there with Ellia. Ellia was also participating in the Grand Sea Continent Meet as she was encouraged by Davis to do so.

This ship housed a million youths from the whole of Loret Empire as they were going to participate in the Grand Sea Continent Meet.

Sometimes there are a few itinerant cultivators who are able to earn a spot in the Top 200. So with hope in their minds, millions of youths travel from every Empire to the Grand Sea Continent Meet.

Even if they can't get into the Top 200, there wasn't a problem for them at all. As long as they enter the Top 100,000, their lives would be pretty much settled as various powers would invite them as honorary members or elders.

"Haha, this is always a sight to see. Actually, when I went to participate in the Grand Sea Continent Meet last time, there were more people than this." Logan frowned.

"Maybe it's because they think that we will lose face during this Grand Sea Continent Meet, no?" Davis asked.

"Might be... But alas, they will miss the legend of an era!" Logan grinned as he said.

They both then looked at each other as they laughed together.
