Divine Emperor of Death

After Davis taught Eldia to conjure artificial clothes using her lightning energy, she managed to do so, on the second try, of course, initially messing up to form a pact with him, making him laugh as well as moved that Eldia stayed the same.

There was probably no difference to her notions after the transformation to spirit. However, her mentality might have undergone a change as she started to have and feel more emotions, able to express them consciously and concisely than before.

*Bzzz!~*

Suddenly, Eldia bit her purple lips as her brows frowned. Lightning crackled with intensity, glowing black and blue as her white hair floated. However, it wasn't anything worrying as her undulations underwent a minute change as she entered the Mid-Level Spiritual Mortal Stage.

Davis raised his brows. It was just five minutes, but she had already managed to enter Mid-Level First Stage.

According to Iesha, spirits grew fast, extremely fast, depending on their grade when they were a Spirit Attribute Source or if they were a rare mixed spirit, then depending on the grade of their parents.

She told him that by the time the Frigid World Spirit was eighteen, they would already be at the Seventh Stage; Spirit Lord Stage, or even the Spirit Supreme Stage; the Eighth Stage.

If Eldia's soul age caused her to form a mature fleshly body relevant to her age, then he understood that her essence and soul should also catch up quickly, although, at this rate, he felt that it might take a year or two and maybe less, depending on what type of resources she consumed.

"Eldia, attack me."

"Huh…?"

Eldia looked innocent, not knowing what to do to this sudden hostile command that made her feel uncomfortable inside.

"I want to test your prowess..."

Only after Davis explained did she relax and nod. She raised her hand and pointed her frail purple finger at him.

*Bang!~*

An arc of black lightning struck Davis, right on his palm that was raised. However, it didn't harm him one bit, much less able to penetrate his hard skin that was almost tempered to Peak-Level Ninth Stage in terms of prowess.

Still, Davis possessed an astonished expression on his face.

"Woah, you already have the might of the Third Stage; Spirit Dawning Stage, and what's more, it's probably at High-Level or even Peak-Level..."

Eldia smiled at receiving the compliment, looking quite happy. On the other hand, Davis understood that it could be because it was easier to cross levels in the first three stages due to the smaller gap, but to cross two stages and even a few two levels were still commendable and praiseworthy. Perhaps, there was more to the heavenly tribulation lightning that she absorbed than it meets the eyes, but so far, he was completely satisfied that she successfully became a spirit.

However, a question popped into his mind.

Fallen Heaven's life energy was able to restore Edgar Alstreim's dantian and further cause it to be restored to its previous state. If it's like this, would it also be able to cause Eldia to receive her energy back?

Looking around, he saw that no one dared to come here before returning his gaze to the light purple-robed Eldia.

He raised his hand and began showering her with his blessings, no, with Fallen Heaven's life energy. Instantly, her energy that was revolving and returning at a fast pace experienced an immense boost.

*Bzzz!~*

High-Level Spiritual Mortal Stage!

Eldia was shocked to see her cultivation instantly make a breakthrough as black lightning crackled around her. She didn't even need to consciously revolve the energy around her body, making her quite dumbfounded. But then, once the state of breakthrough left, a comfortable and pleasant feeling filled her heart, wondering what was happening to her as she gazed at Davis, wanting to ask him.

However, his sapphire eyes that were intently looking at her ended up attracting her gaze, making her forget what she wanted to ask.

*Bzzz!~*

Black lightning crackled again with intensity as she made a breakthrough to the Peak-Level Spiritual Mortal Stage.

*Bzzzzz!~~~*

Awakened Spirit Stage!

The surrounding ten meters became filled with black lightning, and the range grew larger and larger by the second as she made continuous breakthroughs within ten minutes.

Once she reached the Peak-Level Spirit Dawning Stage's apex, he stopped, wondering if there was something like a foundation or bottleneck to her. Would causing her to experience a rapid increase in cultivation that simultaneously increased her essence and helped her build a dantian in the Spirit Dawning Stage result in a backlash?

"Eldia, let's form the Prismatic Intramural Soul-Spirit Pact with each other."

"…"

However, Eldia didn't instantly reply, for her cheeks possessed a heavy blush, her breathing already a bit heavy.

"…!"

Davis belatedly noticed that her reaction wasn't the usual feeling of pleasantness taking over when Fallen Heaven's life energy was used as he initially mused but exhaustion!

His expression became sorry before he clasped her hand.

"Ah~"

Eldia moaned while an electrifying yet pleasant feeling passed through Davis, almost giving him an internal shock. Nevertheless, he calmed himself as though nothing had happened and brought her back to the tomb, whereupon he had her lay flat on a bed.

"I'm sorry that I was insensitive and eager to see your power grow, unaware of your current state that's still sensitive and frail. You have a physical body now. It's better to rest, especially when you have just formed your body."

Davis wryly spoke before he smiled, letting her hand go. However, Eldia suddenly captured his hand, holding it tightly before it caused him to blink.

Eldia looked at him with numerous emotions flashing through her bluish-black eyes.

"Let's form a pact. I don't want to waste master's time..."

"It can wait."

Davis strongly spoke, reassuring with a heavy nod before as he caressed her hand with his other hand as though cheering her up.

Eldia's blush didn't leave. She instead avoided his gaze and looked at the ceiling, wondering why she felt strange like this before a sudden epiphany swelled in her mind.

'Wait, is this what Iesha and all the other women feel for master…?'

More than wanting to be with him, it was like she wanted more, like now, to hold hands with him, which felt good. However, these are things that his women did with him, which made her feel that she was feeling the same emotions as them, which they described as love.

However, she still couldn't make sense.

Davis lightly smiled as he saw Eldia's pupils reveal confusion. He understood that her mentality was like a baby with high intelligence and was sure that she had many things to ponder and reflect upon.

"Master… now that I have become like this… I can still stay with you, right?"

"Of course you can, Eldia." Davis nodded, "I need you too. Just a bit of blood essence isn't enough to replace you, but even if it was, I'm not heartless enough to replace you, so rest assured."

Eldia didn't know why, but she felt delighted to hear his answer. Just his voice alone was soothing. She liked feeling emotions of these kinds, which made her feel comfortable.

Shortly, she began to doze off while holding his warm hands, appearing to have slept from exhaustion a while later.

Davis silently let her hand go as he watched her innocent face and heaving bosoms, letting him know that she was truly breathing, having a real body on top of it. She was no longer an energy being but one that could feel more emotions, having the sensory organs to experience everything this world could offer.

He felt glad for her before moving away and sitting on a cultivation cushion, resuming his cultivation.

Dark crimson flames blazed, and black lightning crackled with intensity around him, forming a firestorm field. His essence energy circulated within, moving to and fro from his dantian, meridians, and back to his dantian, forming a full circulation that slowly increased his energy on top of something special.

He didn't use any spirit stones because, at this point, his undulations were too powerful. He was already at the Peak-Level Law Sea Stage as he broke through three times upon absorbing Lea Weiss's primal yin and also had comprehension when he took Zestria's primal yin before that.

However, absorbing and digesting two of the three blood essences of the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal allowed him to comprehend Lightning Laws which was lagging behind to the very peak of Level Three Abstruse Intent while he consciously suppressed his breakthrough from happening with his soul prowess.

Moreover, the blood also caused his body to undergo a qualitative change where he had managed to comprehend Fire and Lightning Laws for the body, increasing them from Elementary Intent to Level Six Intent.

The dragon's blood affected the body the most while aiding essence and soul in a minute amount. The phoenix's blood affected essence the most while also aiding the soul moderately. On the other hand, the kirin's blood affected essence the most while also aiding the body moderately.

Davis couldn't understand what kind of correlation the blood of the three magical beasts first had with increasing each type of cultivation in different lengths, but upon pondering, he speculated that it could be because that this factor was decided by their physiques.

For example, due to the phoenix's ability to rise from the ashes, it seemed that their soul was more important. This didn't mean the dragon's soul or kirin's soul was weak or weaker. It just meant that the phoenix could exclusively and effectively control its soul more.

As for his Essence Gathering Cultivation's prowess, it became… terrifying, greater, and grander than his Body Tempering Cultivation for the first time in many years!
