Divine Emperor of Death

But that was also until he put an end to their power and removed the Alstreim Family from the jurisdiction of the Four Great Righteous Sects, causing the Alstreim Family to own this land both officially and have full control over it.

While traveling through its thunderous skies, he could see many Alstreim Family youths training. Even the Falling Snow Sect maidens were here for a joint training session, and it seemed that some hot-blooded young men did have good luck, managing to secure the beauty's trust as some did seem closer.

Nonetheless, it was not his business to be mingling with them.

He arrived at the Purple Thunderflame Mountain since it was on the way, looking for some resources as he headed deep into the mountains where Ninth Stage Lightning Bolts fell all day long. When he was here with Sophie, he was unable to enter the core zone of the Purple Thunderflame Mountain because he was not strong at that time, but now, he went around, collecting those strands of lightning like he was a farmer reaping fruits.

With his life energy easily taming the purple lightning strands, which were yang in nature, he felt that he would be able to grow some resources faster in his herb spirit garden as well as support his father's cultivation. He refined the purple lightning strands into their concentrated state, storing them in the containers designed for elementals.

Furthermore, he did find a few Lightning Elementals that his father could refine. He collected many untouched ingredients as well, even finding a Peak-Level Emperor Grade that he didn't have and wanted in his collection.

Unfortunately, there were no magical beasts in the inner zone, causing him to squash his fantasies of collecting some useful soul essences.

All this took him a mere half an hour before he summoned his soul body and sent it on delivery back home. As for him, he journeyed to the Dark Thunder Island, where extinction lightning was tremendous and raining all day long.

He did the same thing as before, going around and collecting resources for some time, later refining the black lightning strands into snacks for Eldia.

"Mhmm!~"

A melodious hum of satisfaction echoed as Eldia munched on the refined strand of black lightning provided by Davis. A three cubic meter space of refined black lightning floated above the surface while Eldia freely floated in it like she was swimming, casually reaching out her hand before capturing a refined strand of extinction lightning. She then flicked her hand towards her mouth, swallowing the refined strand of extinction lightning while heaving a satisfied hum again.

Davis simply watched her having fun.

He had only gathered this much of refined strands of extinction lightning because he was starting to realize the more he refined, the more the essence of extinction left this island but considering that their essence was required to maintain a perpetual cycle, he understood and stopped refining them.

However, he hadn't started refining the concentrated strands of heavenly lightning because he had yet to fully recover his soul force. He hadn't taken soul force from his avatar either since it might be required for something while he was away, so he had to wait a day or two to regain his soul force because his base prowess was at the eighth level of the Ninth Stage and that wasn't something he could simply recover with pills.

As for using the two immortal phoenixes' soul essence to recover his soul force, that would be foolish as it would be a total waste for him to be using those treasures for such a thing. Only the heaven and earth energy could help him recover and, to add on, sleep. However, the former was so low quality that he would have to rely on sleep to increase the multiplier by a few decimals, or so he calculated.

Davis's brows turned into a frown, thinking about some matters before he made his decision.

"Eldia, do you want to eat the heavenly lightning strands I collected?"

"!!!"

A burst of black lightning streaked past the air as it arrived before him, transforming into a wide-eyed woman, her bluish-black pupils staring at him with glee.

"I want…! I want!~~~"

Eldia hovered before him, raising her two dainty hands as she heavily nodded her head but what Davis saw was her two jiggly breasts bouncing before him. Of course, Eldia wore a dark-blue robe that accentuated her purple-skinned body that lustrously shone like the stars, but even that was not enough to fully hide her voluptuous assets.

Nonetheless, even though she was cheerful in front of him like a little girl, she radiated a noble aura. He could feel the oppressive might of the heavens from her, and it was the only aura that had a close affiliation with the heavens but didn't offend him.

What's more, Eldia had reached Peak-Level Spirit Ancestor Stage long ago due to his occasional administering of life energy, and her prowess was also two levels higher. However, that was only her base prowess, and if she used heavenly lightning, her prowess would reach three levels higher.

As for her Body Cultivation, which reached the first level of the Ninth Stage, it was thanks to the Prismatic Intramural Soul-Spirit Pact that allowed Eldia to eat his extinction lightning more efficiently. She didn't skip a single meal, sometimes even having a feast, becoming stronger and stronger by the day in these few months.

Even now, with each refined strand of extinction lightning strands of the Dark Thunder Island she ate, her body was improving. However, with him throwing out the refined strands of heavenly lightning as bait, she almost drooled, knowing that it would allow her body to become more powerful, even allowing her essence and spirit to surge with immense power.

After, the quality of these heavenly lightning strands was at the eighth level of the Ninth Stage at the very least!

Davis looked at her comical expression and couldn't help but chuckle. He still recalled the time when she was silent as a lazy mouse, rarely talking, but now, she was hyperactive as a playful cat.

"Eldia, I have six strands of refined heavenly lightning, and one of them is at the ninth level of the Ninth Stage, so I'm not giving it to you."

Eldia's lips became downturned, appearing sad. However, Davis acted like he didn't notice and continued.

"As for the other refined heavenly lightning strands, there are five of them, and their prowess is at the eighth level of the Ninth Stage. How much do you want?"

His lips borne a hint of teasing as they curved but Eldia was as clueless as ever, innocently thinking as she looked at the thunderous dark skies before she raised her hand, possessing an awkward smile on her face as she raised all five fingers.

"…"

Davis's lips kept twitching as he saw her answer.

'This glutton… she wants all five…?'
