Divine Emperor of Death

The people of the New Era Battle Arena were shocked and delighted at this scene, possessing an outlandish grin of excitement on their faces.

They thought Natalya was fragile since her Body Tempering Cultivation was said to be less, but she withstood such an impact?

Moreover, she shattered Adlet Rayburn's technique, not even bothering to parry it. The light arrow was frozen to a silent death before it could break and explode.

"Impossible… how did you…?"

Adlet Rayburn found it hard to believe that she could catch and suppress his attack like that when it was extremely condensed.

Why could he not injure a cultivator of the same level?

Was his Silver Radiant Skylark blood crap? Or was it fake? Or was he the problem?

Natalya heaved an icy breath before she opened her lips. However, words didn't come out of her mouth as she thought that it was not good to explain her technique's secrets because it could be used against her.

Adlet Rayburn looked somber before he shook his head, "Sigh, I really was deluded until I came here. Yin Lotus Fairy, I admit defeat."

"Adlet Rayburn, you are too courteous and are unwilling to reveal more techniques that could possibly have the edge over me."

"Yin Lotus Fairy surely jests…"

Adlet Rayburn's lips twitched.

He was not prepared to have his attacks repeatedly shattered, especially not by a woman who was younger than him. Not only was it disheartening but also will crushing. Besides, he felt that using blood essence to use terrifying techniques was a waste of time. After all, to use that kind of terrifying technique, one should be at the immortal level since the meridians could not withstand them.

That backlash was mitigated through the usage of blood essence.

Nonetheless, even if he managed to injure Natalya, he would only earn the ire of the Emperor of Death which was an absolute no since he almost flipped the table for no reason once, thinking that death was inevitable because he was framed for killing Schleya.

"The victory of this battle belongs to Natalya Alstreim."

After hearing the result, Natalya clasped her hands to Adlet Rayburn and left while the other pondered for a few seconds about the battle before leaving.

"Elder sis! You were so cool, using the Forsaken Yin Empress's Strife like that!"

Fiora instantly threw herself to Natalya, hugging her with her eyes glowing.

"Rather than an external technique, it's an internal one. One's entire body becomes a whirlpool that absorbs the force of the attack and unleashes it back, so I was able to withstand that force using the entire yin of my body in the palm of my hand and used it against him."

Natalya giggled, explaining a bit as she caressed Fiora's cheek.

The others were also greatly intrigued by that technique as she had displayed great skill. Even the ones who thought that she just relied on Davis to reach this point somewhere in their heart had their opinions changed.

However, Davis couldn't help but shake his head as what Natalya attempted was dangerous. If she possessed an equal amount of Body Tempering Cultivation, he wouldn't be worried but using Forsaken Yin Empress's Strife against a stronger killing technique was tantamount to suicide if failed.

He felt that Natalya's guts had grown stronger to attempt to use that technique in a battle against a stranger, but because of that, he had even more admiration for her now. But he still couldn't help but ask in worry.

"Do you have to go to such lengths?"

"Well, I accept this technique is hard to control, and I haven't even mastered thirty percent of it, but it's enough for Adlet Rayburn."

Davis almost rolled his eyes on hearing Natalya's prideful comment.

"Of course, he could not compare to you. Judging by his Law Sea, I can say for certain that he does not have the true essence blood of the Silver Radiant Skylark and most likely only found a remnant tomb. Otherwise, you would have exploded for taking that arrow head-on."

"I know~"

Natalya stuck her tongue out, acting cute.

In truth, Natalya also had enough confidence to be able to stop his technique. It wasn't pure delusion, ego, or pride but battle experience.

Natalya's power alternated between Yin and Ice Laws even though she used both energies at the same time. When she defended, she used Ice Laws as the core. When she dodged and parried, she used Yin Laws as the core. It served to greatly boost her efficiency in what she needed to achieve.

This kind of battle instinct in alternating powers couldn't be merely gained just by practicing laws that Davis could see that Natalya took the time to battle with her sisters to improve her battle prowess.

In truth, he didn't know that while Isabella took care of him while he was in a near-death state, Natalya and Fiora also took care of him, but they also practiced like their life depended on it that their skills vastly improved from their previous selves that it exceeded that of Sophie's and Niera's before the competition.

Fiora was limited by her manual and techniques, but it wasn't the same for Natalya, who already possessed the Forsaken Yin Lotus Manual. Her helplessness when he was incapacitated allowed her to concentrate and grow her skills so that it wouldn't happen again.

Isabella healed their injuries from those battles with pills, so Davis didn't know about their hard work, but he would instantly notice if he checked their bodies for hidden injuries. These hidden injuries wouldn't affect them much unless they succumbed to critical injuries, so they hadn't told him; most likely, they didn't want to burden him and thought it was a tiny matter unworthy of mention.

Furthermore, Natalya also practiced with Iesha after gaining her. Other than Isabella, Evelynn, Zestria, Bylai, and Lea Weiss, she was the one with the most experience in battles, leading to greater control of her energy and techniques while also allowing her to stay aware and calm of the situation, aided by her law's nature.

Indeed, this nobody absolutely astonished the people of the New Era Battle Arena, making a name for herself by clenching an arrow and destroying it as though it was nothing but a stick.

Nonetheless, what was dumbfounding to Davis was that Natalya's Forsaken Yin Lotus Manual could compare to the likes of immortal manuals from grand immortal beasts like the Earth Dragon and Fire Phoenix. Otherwise, could it really go against Adlet Rayburn even if he was lacking Silver Radiant Skylark's True Essence Blood?

Did the Forsaken Yin Lotus Manual have some grand background that he didn't know about?

If so, he indifferently felt that he should be prepared about it as though it was just another trouble. After all, this manual seemed to suit Natalya so perfectly in his mind.

"You were awesome out there."

Davis reached out his hand, patting Natalya's head which caused her eyes to become dreamy and satisfied even though she tried to hide the blooming happiness in her expression.

"However, I hope I can be as cool as you. Otherwise, it would be a complete loss of face for me as your man."

As he continued, he turned to look at Ellia, who was also looking at him with a faint smile behind her veil.

Natalya and the others' expression became solemn.

At present, just by comparing their bearings, not a single one of them possessed the confidence to defeat her in a battle after seeing Ellia battle with Rayn Shard. To them, she gave the same feeling as Davis, insurmountable, especially to Natalya and Zestria, who were near her than any others as they participated in this Eighth Stage Segment.

Without even the next lot being chosen, Davis stepped out and flew towards the battle stage, and so did Ellia.

The eyes of the powerhouses and Mandate Emperor sharply narrowed.. It seemed that the supreme geniuses could no longer wait.
