Divine Emperor of Death

Dawn approached. The sight of sunrise nowadays gave new hope to the people present in the New Era Battle Arena since they were assured that they were going to have young geniuses take the helm and protect them in the future.

Soon, the Eighth Stage Segment was going to begin, and they were anything but calm.

The overseers kept the Seventh Stage Segment's age limit to a hundred, but that was increased to five hundred for the Eighth Stage Segment.

Originally, it should've been two hundred to three hundred by all right for young geniuses, but it appears that it has been set like that to not discriminate against people who had little resources to increase their cultivation but are talented enough to do wonders. They didn't want to accidentally miss young experts from being screened properly as what they were after was talent at the end.

That's why every Law Sea Stage Expert below five hundred years old are welcome to prove that they have conjured an Abundant Sea and join the competition.

The competition was extremely simple: it was a five-way battle.

Five competitors would be pitted against each other in each battle, and the emerging winner will proceed to the next round.

If it were the small-sized Territories, the number of Law Sea Stage Experts below five hundred years could be counted on a scale, but when it comes to Law Sea Stage Experts with Abundant Sea, even a single hand was more than enough.

A Law Sea Stage Expert Cultivator could create five types of seas: The Scarce Sea, Expansive Sea, Abundant Sea, Vast Sea, and Immeasurable Sea.

With the Four Great Righteous Sects also participating, the number of talented Law Sea Stage Experts exponentially grew, and it was mused long ago that the competitors who were going to be entering for the Eighth Stage Segment were able to conjure Abundant Seas with ease and even had Vast Seas.

Rumors that the rumors back then were true were floating around, making people dumbfounded and excited.

They thought that it was already a blessing from the heavens that they had seen many youths with Perfect Domains appear in one place from all over their human race, but now, were they also going to see extraordinary Law Sea Stage Experts, possessing Abundant Seas and above?

However, no one talked about Immeasurable Seas. The moment the topic came up, they could only laugh and brush it off. After all, when have they seen anyone create an Immeasurable Sea or even heard of one?

It was practically non-existent.

But suddenly, they looked towards the Alstreim Family, feeling suspicious.

They wouldn't have someone like that, right?

The Emperor of Death and his second wife called Natalya, seemed suspicious, but Immeasurable Sea should be truly out of the question, considering that they needed time, right?

If they only knew that there were more than one'¦

The reason why Davis and the others were so easily able to create Immeasurable Seas was because of the existence of spirits, living Spirit Attribute Sources who bestows with comprehension and immortal-level blood essences. Without them, it would've taken them many more years to accomplish this fabled feat.

Therefore, their scoffing attitude towards the existence of the Immeasurable Sea could be said to be nothing but normal and logical.

Law seas couldn't be measured like law manifestations and law domains. They can only be measured through certain devices or profound foundations. Otherwise, they could only take the word of the cultivator for it.

To be clear, the overseers had already set up the bone age formations along with the sea-measuring formations on the eve of dawn. If people wanted to prove themselves, then all they have to do is to step in and reveal the size of their law sea.

The Law Sea Stage Experts below five hundred years old who knew they didn't have an Abundant Sea didn't go embarrass themselves, but those who did step in certainly possessed an Abundant Sea, making the morning a boisterous one for the crowd that gathered.

Due to the quotas only being given to the sixteen hegemons: Alstreim Family, Thousand Pill Palace, Mystic Ice Sect, Twilight Physician Hall, Pill Refining Sect, Dual Lotus Manor, Emperor Sword Sect, Jade Lotus Valley, Burning Phoenix Ridge, Soul Palace, Golden Dragon Valley, Glorious Pill Palace, Heaven Gazing Sect, Heaven Mandate Temple, Vast Sky Emperor Palace and the Astral Light Sect, the vagrant cultivators and the cultivators in the other powers had no choice but to be recognized by the sixteen hegemons in order to participate in this Eighth Stage Segment.

The small-sized Territories possessed ten quotas, and the mid-sized Territories acquired fifteen quotas while the large-sized Territories had twenty quotas to fulfill.

Therefore, the Eighth Stage Experts below five hundred years old were working hard to be recognized, some even displaying their overall prowess in order to be acknowledged by the hegemons, preferably by the strong ones.

Davis had just exited the resting room while holding Tanya's hands. She leaned on his shoulder with a healthy red hue on her cheeks, recalling the blissful matters that happened inside. Although she wouldn't be able to get pregnant as she was faced with the option to get pregnant and delay cultivation or delaying becoming pregnant, she chose the latter out of her own will after listening to him say that he wouldn't blame her if she chose the latter or even the former for he convinced her that his emotions for her already ran a bit deep through their love-making.

After all, how could not have feelings for such an endearing woman?

Right now, Tanya felt that catching up to him was also important as much as receiving his child, but she wasn't even married yet, so she put that on hold, and yes, she had received his promise to marry at a later date. Even though it was later, probably last, it made her immensely joyful and satisfied as she personally understood that receiving commitment and love from him is a blessing in and of itself.

How could she make little of it when she had finally received his love that hundreds and thousands of single women were drooling for? Since she was outside their sphere all this time, she more or less knew the state of Alstreim Family's women and even knew that some of her fellow disciples had fallen for him, although she also felt that their feelings would stay purely one-sided as they would probably never make contact like her unless pushed.

Their one-sided love would purely end as a crush as it is for many women.

While Tanya was full of thoughts and recollections, Davis walked towards the room where they dined.

Although the little banquet had ended, his women were still socializing with each other on this rare occasion, although Nadia had entered his soul sea to stay cozy while Lea Weiss had already left because staying longer was dangerous for her reputation, especially when her relationship with him was still unannounced.

Davis had his own thoughts on Lea Weiss. Nevertheless, he pushed open the door and entered, looking at the mess his women were.

The long dining table was no longer there.

Some were chatting, some were running around as though playing tag without using their cultivation, some were reading, and some were sleeping. He saw Evelynn conversing with Isabella, Shirley, and Zestria at a table. Mo Mingzhi, Sophie, and Niera were playing tag while Tina and Dalila were reading alchemy records solemnly.

Tanya was stunned to see them before she saw that Natalya and Fiora were sleeping on the bed as they held hands. She turned to look at Davis, asking him with her eyes about exactly what was going on here as she was confused.

However, the moment the awake ones saw Davis, their eyes lit up before a teasing smile emerged on their faces.

"The fact that you're here with Tanya after all this time means that she has become yours in body and soul'¦!"

Sophie clenched her teeth.

"I told you so." Mingzhi giggled, "He's been in that room for hours. How can he not take her?"

"Not fair'¦"

Niera pouted, looking at him with a wronged gaze similar to Sophie. However, knowing that they had a promise that he would never forget, it assured them inside as the sliver of jealousy instantly faded.

"Hehem~"

Davis awkwardly coughed before he shamelessly wrapped his hand around Tanya's waist and pulled her closer. Even Tanya tightly held his sleeves and placed another hand on his chest, afraid that she would be ostracized and hurled curses as they already began shooting a glare.

Facing this many women, his loved women, she was overwhelmed with anxious feelings.

"My undying beauties, I have brought you all a lovely sister."
