Divine Emperor of Death

Ellia's face became solemn. With a step, she disappeared from her spot, reappearing in front of Davis while her fist was already heading towards him. Their domains clashed, trembling for control while Davis also raised his hand.

*Boom!~*

Davis captured Ellia's fist with one hand.

The flooring shattered, countless broken tiles lunging away on all sides as a deep gorge emerged from underground from their clash.

Even though they were a few meters above the ground, their clash wreaked havoc.

Davis narrowed his eyes as he looked at her powerful strength. The answer soon revealed itself once he sensed the nature of her undulations.

Another fist encroached Davis's abdomen but using her fist that he caught as a medium, he pushed her away. However, Ellia ingeniously stopped using the hand that was caught, allowing it to be pushed away while her other fist was still heading towards Davis's gut.

"Hmph!"

*Boom!~*

Snorting, Davis rapidly used his other hand and stopped her fist with his palm, the impact of their attacks directly created a huge gorge below the one they made.

Simultaneously, a long leg leisurely rose above, intending to strike his chest.

Davis let go of her fist and blocked Ellia's knee, causing his blonde hair to madly flail around before she used the rebound to launch herself back.

Ellia landed kilometers away from him, narrowing her eyes.

He didn't follow her to attack?

"Hisss!~"

The people gasped by the sheer control of their clash. The fact that spatial tears didn't appear meant that they had effectively strengthened the space with their domains. On the other hand, the battle platform naturally had to break because they were brittle in the face of their attacks.

Moreover, they were blankly staring at Fairy Myria's martial domain because only now did they all notice that the martial domain was not Light Laws as Fairy Myria initially displayed but Earth Laws.

Two Perfect Martial Domains!?

What's going on? How could she etch two Body Tempering Cultivation Laws at the same time!? Wasn't she afraid of her body becoming weak or even crippled instead as the middle dantian wasn't as flexible as the lower dantian?

Although the middle dantian required lesser energy needs to accommodate changes such as re-condensing martial domains and crests, it didn't mean that it could accommodate changes on the level of different laws! It was very difficult that almost all the people who tried etching multiple laws into their bodies at the Martial Sage Stage ended up crippling themselves that it became a taboo to use multiple energies when using Body Tempering Cultivation, unlike Essence Gathering Cultivation.

After all, most Body Tempering Cultivation approaches used resources to temper one's meridians and such. Wouldn't utilizing another energy on a tempered meridian that was meant for a different energy result in degradation and incompatibility, causing them to collapse?

However, Davis wasn't fazed by Ellia's sudden usage of Earth Laws as he knew that she practiced a strange cultivation method of nurturing an attributeless middle dantian and also an attributeless lower dantian. It was unknown to him how she cultivated in such a way, but he didn't care as his path was already set.

Instead of being a jack of all trades, he preferred to excel in one or two laws in one cultivation system, so he wasn't greedy at all for her methods. But for his future generations, he felt that it might be good to have it. In any case, with Ellia by his side, he wouldn't lack greater knowledge, but even without that, getting her back was his first priority.

"Ellia, the ability to use different laws is useful. However, your earthen punches lacked greater intensity against a person like me."

"Are you saying that I'm practicing cultivation wrongly?" Ellia's voice became somber.

"I don't dare make a claim like that and wouldn't until I reach the apex."

Davis spread his hands and shook his head, causing Ellia's body to tremble, almost failing to suppress her laughter.

Looking at her playful reaction, Davis couldn't help but smile that she was the same old Ellia.

"I'm only saying that using Earth Laws against me is counterintuitive as my Martial Domain condensed from the insights of the Earth Dragon will naturally suppress yours unless the comprehension of your Earth Laws is as special as immortal magical beasts or similar entities."

"True."

Ellia took a step forward and lowered her body, appearing ready to rush.

"But I'll also let you know the strength of being able to use different laws in battle."

A flash of light stretched from one place to another, arriving before Davis's side when a kick fell on his head.

*Bang!~*

However, Davis instantly raised his hand and stopped Ellia's leg from almost sending him flying.

'Fast… but this strength… it's stronger and heavier!'

Davis's eyes flashed as he quickly noticed that her earth martial domain was superimposed with the light martial domain. His wrist that defended against Ellia's leg was being pushed back by her speed, momentum, and power. However, his arm surged with Earth Dragon's might, forcefully pushing her back.

Ellia's gorgeous eyes flashed with interest before she pulled back her leg and spun mid-air with an insane speed, her other leg heading towards his chin when Davis suddenly took a step back, allowing her feet to rush above his head.

Davis counterattacked at this moment, his fist turning into a palm as he went straight for her neck. His fingers were clenched like a dragon's, and Ellia was nearly an inch away from his grasp.

Ellia felt immense pressure locking down on her despite her usage of Light and Earth Martial Domains. However, her earthen martial domain abruptly turned green, allowing her to dodge his dragon claw as she took a step aside. Nonetheless, another fist arrived before her, intending to strike down her abdomen.

However, Ellia was extremely fast that she was able to dodge and speed around him, landing punches and kicks against his arms, legs, and body, creating a grating sounds of a brutal battle.

*Bang!~* *Bang!~* *Bang!~*

The people were horrified to see Fairy Myria possess a Wind Martial Domain on top of another two. When the Wind Martial Domain was combined with her Light Martial Domain, she looked practically unstoppable!

What kind of monster was she, not even allowing the Emperor of Death to be able to fight back!?

*Bang!~* *Bang!~* *Bang!~*

Ellia's rapid blows kept falling on Davis. He managed to block some of them with his arms, but most of them kept landing on his body, making him tremble. However, Davis still kept a calm look on his face because Ellia's strikes at this particular moment were unable to injure him through his defenses.

'Although she's become faster, she lost the ability to even injure me…'

Consequently, because she was too fast for him to catch, he was unable to strike back either because when he tried, two or three hits would land on him, allowing him to experience what it means to catch a fly but not having enough speed to do so.

Davis felt that it couldn't be helped. After all, the Earth Dragon wasn't known for its speed but mountainous strength and defense that could topple the world.

Nonetheless, he understood he was the first one to be forced to use a technique in this exchange purely consisting of Body Tempering Cultivation.

'Earth Dragon's Overlord Rush…'

Abruptly, an earthen gold glow lightened his body, allowing him to move three times as fast as before, allowing him to catch a frail wrist that was caught just before he could land a fist to his back shoulder.

Davis turned around, looking Ellia in the eyes. It was as if he could almost see through the veil behind, knowing that she was smiling, enjoying what they didn't get to experience as they grew up.

"Watch out!"

Davis grinned with excitement as his other fist soared towards her abdomen.

At the same time, Ellia didn't even show a hint of panic. She used her other free hand, turning it from a fist into a palm as she struck Davis's fist. Abruptly, a burst of water shrouded Davis's fist till his elbow, engulfing him in water. Simultaneously, the green wind domain churned in color, becoming bluish like the ocean.

'Water Laws…!'

Davis's pupils dilated as he felt trapped in her oceanic sphere. His fist was stuck to her palm, unable to be retrieved that he could only think of letting go of her wrist, but before he could even make a decision, a knee headed towards his chin as Ellia back-flipped.

"…!"

Davis hurriedly let her wrist go and moved sideways, but his fist was still stuck to her palm as she held it now. Such a reversal didn't cause him to cry, but he did become surprised, even more excited that he tried to swing her around with the force while the sluggish effect of the water didn't allow him to be rampant.

However, Ellia let go of his fist once she completed her back-flip and attacked with her fist again. Abruptly, the water between them bubbled and turned into extreme heat, producing mist as she struck his chest.

*Bang!~!*

Davis couldn't see what was coming, but he was sent retreating ten steps back as he took a blow to the chest. Flames lit up on his robe, causing it to burn, but with two unhurried pats, he erased them. Behind his torn robe was a brownish-golden dragon scale that let him remain unharmed.

He glanced at Ellia's smirk and noticed that the light martial domain had changed colors, one of white into somewhat yellow or gold.

The moment Ellia turned Water Martial Domain into Fire Martial Domain was a shocker for him, but when he realized that she replaced her Light Martial Domain with Metal Martial Domain at some point, allowing her to slightly injure him with her metal and flame fist, he couldn't help but blink.

Without using Earth Dragon's Hardened Scales as a precaution, he wouldn't have been unharmed.

However, being forced to use two techniques while she used one when she used her water technique, Davis couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Light, Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, and Metal.

How many laws has she comprehended in her past life? No wonder she chose the attributeless path. Now, he felt like he could understand her thoughts a bit more.

However, compared to his light shock, the people of the New Era Battle Arena were absolutely silent. However, their mouths were agape, while their eyes were also full of disbelief.

The Mandate Emperor and the other two Emperors also had their eyes wide like saucers that one of them even stood up from the shock.

Adlet Rayburn possessed a gaping mouth as he looked at their battle before it finally came to a pause.

What kind of monsters were they? His body began to shiver without him even knowing that his two wives had to hold him to realize it.

Evelynn, Natalya, and the others all gulped, having the same thought as Adlet Rayburn. Knowing that Ellia was a reincarnator actually didn't help lessen their shocks because the visual information was too much for them.

Just how could Ellia use two domains like that, alternating one or even two at a time!?

After all, just maintaining one of them uses focus, but suddenly changing them at such a speed would require enormous focus and the skill to use them aptly. Was that the advantage given by her attributeless nature of her dantians?

Davis narrowed his brows as he thought of this point. It seemed that she could only use two martial domains simultaneously. Was that a limit, or was she limiting herself due to incompatibilities between laws?

If that's the case, wouldn't Light, Fire and Metal Martial Domains be a combination that could work without much interference?

However, Ellia's attacks didn't do much damage to him despite using so many laws. Even if she has terrifying techniques to use, he also possesses them, so what was she trying to achieve? Just to showcase that she could use so many laws?

After all, to reveal so many of her powers that she didn't reveal before to the public, wasn't it detrimental even if she was confident of staying at the apex?

Abruptly, a certain kind of thought hit his mind.

'This… she is revealing Myria's cards to me?'
