Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1235 - Refinement Of King Beast Stage Soul Essences

Davis entered Ezekiel Alstreimʼs dwelling as he noticed that the items of furniture and statues decorating the cave were unique and luxurious, not to mention that they were made up of wood and fire-attributed cultivation materials that boosted the rate of training in Fire Laws.

However, to Davis, it seemed that it was only useful for Law Sea Stage Experts, not really useful, but then, the environment here was also blazing that Law Seed Stage Experts might be subjected to more harm instead of a beneficial environment because of the difference in the boost received and the benefits they could endure.

Fortunately, Davis was in the Law Manifestation Stage that he could optimally receive these boosts and gain advantage from it instead of receiving harm, but he was not here to train in Fire Laws but train in his Soul Forging Cultivation.

He sat down as he put down a cultivation cushion and systematically began to refine the soul essences with Fallen Heavenʼs help. First, he swept his soul sea and saw that he had a hundred and thirty-eight Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Soul Essence and twenty-four Low-Level King Beast Stage Soul Essences.

Considering that he didnʼt need the other soul essences present in his soul sea, he didnʼt consider them in his calculation and began to refine the Low-Level King Beast Stage Soul Essences. He took out the Violet-Lightning Paralysis Beetleʼs Soul Essence and began to refine it.

The soul essence was gradually being refined as time passed, but Davis furrowed his brows as he experienced something different when he completely refined the soul essence after a week and a halfʼs time passed. Along with his soulʼs increase to the Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stageʼs peak, he found that he was receiving strange insights from the beetle soul that he had completely digested.

ʼWhat the... this is... insights in Lightning Laws?ʼ

Davis shot his eyes wide open in shock as he momentarily stopped the process of refining! He gulped and closed his eyes before he began to ponder on the strange insights he had received. It floated in a violet-colored gaseous form in his soul sea, pure and unsullied like a newly formed spirit birthed by the heaven and earth energy.

He scooped it with his soul sense, and comprehension flashed into his soul sea within a second. Numerous insights flashed past his mind, and Davis tried to grasp as much as he could. As he did so for a few minutes, the heaven and earth energy began to faintly tremble around him before it began to sparkle with strands of lightning that were a bit violet in color.

Davis opened his eyes back as his mouth turned agape.

ʼI comprehended Level One Intent of Lightning Laws for the Soul Forging Cultivation...?ʼ

Davis remained absolutely dumbfounded while his expression stayed that way for at least a minute. His expression changed as he closed his eyes and began to refine the next soul essence before he hastily begins to form some hypothesis. He needed to confirm it!

A week and a half passed again. This time, the refinement of another soul essence allowed him to hover near the King Soul Stageʼs entrance. Davis wasnʼt surprised by this but felt that he would need two more soul essences at the Low-Level King Beast Stage to break through to the King Soul Stage. Nevertheless, at this moment, the heaven and earth energy began to tremble in resonance as it began to blaze. The surrounding fire-attributed cultivation space also improved his comprehension of insights that Davis came to know that he had comprehended Level One Intent of Fire Laws!

Davisʼs eyes shot wide open as he began to tremble in excitement which he hadnʼt felt after seeing the Blazing Thunderlight Kirinʼs Immortal Inheritance. It was a short time, but that denoted the importance of this fact!

The significance of refining soul essences, particularly King Beast Stage Soul Essences, no longer just seemed to be of an increase in Soul Forging Cultivation but also resulted in a bestowment of comprehension of laws that was related to the soul essence he had refined. In this case, it was the Violet-Lightning Paralysis Beetleʼs Soul Essence he had refined first, which resulted in him comprehending Level One Intent of Lightning Laws for the soul.

For the second soul essence he had refined, it had belonged to the Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape, which resulted in him learning Level One Intent of Fire Laws. If it can be said the Intents he had learned had only been Elementary three weeks ago, then now it had increased and broke past a limit to become Level One Intent in both Fire Laws and Lightning Laws in his Soul Forging Cultivation! Perhaps, they might both be at the peak of Level One Intent!

However, Davis instantly realized the drawbacks, that his path of law comprehension would be restricted to these magical beasts that he had digested from if he were to comprehend solely from them. Either that or as long as King Beast Stage Soul Essences are available, he would be able to endlessly comprehend laws from them!

Davis couldnʼt help but suck in a cold amount of breath as he realized the possibilities. However, he didnʼt understand as to why there was remnant comprehension left from the refinement of soul essences in King Beast Stage Soul Essences and not Lord Beast Stage Soul Essences and below.

Surely, laws became an important aspect from the Fifth Stage onwards, but he could only refine these aspects of law comprehension insights when these magical beasts were at the King Beast Stage.

Was it because once the magical beasts reached King Beast Stage, their souls became an important aspect of their lives, enough to contain the comprehension of their laws embedded in their flesh and bloodline?

He was not sure but felt like it would be the case, or he would have to ask Nadia about it. However, would she know?

Only her bloodline memories can tell.

He decided to ask Nadia, who was currently lazily and relaxingly basking in a minute amount of death-like energy inside the shelter in his soul sea.

”Nadia, do you feel that your soul is different than the time you were at the Lord Beast Stage?”

”Mhm?” Nadiaʼs furry ears pricked up as she blinked her eyes at the sudden question before the answer dawned on her.

”Yes, Master. Contrary to what I was capable of in the Lord Beast Stage, I am able to control my soul to a further extent and able to sense things more clearly, as well as able to use my soul essence to fortify my Dark-Winged Twilight Wolfʼs Species Technique, which is essentially like a soul technique as humans would say.”

”Furthermore, I think I can separate my soul from my body to roam freely like Master can, but I have no need to do so since I have my doppelganger.”

”I see. This information was extremely helpful.” Davis had his doubts, but now with her statement, he basically became convinced.

The King Beast Stage is where magical beasts began to confront their souls naturally, but he didnʼt think it was a requirement to break through to the next levels and stages as it was the bloodline that ruled that aspect!

ʼTherefore, the more they interact with their souls or, the higher they are in cultivation base, or with both, the more insights are left in their soul essences?ʼ

Davis narrowed his eyes as he began to contemplate. As far as he could tell, the insights he saw and was able to grasp was around ninety percent, but since it was only enough for him to comprehend Level One Intent, he felt that the insights these pure law comprehension remnants held from the refinement were low in quality.

He grinned, feeling extremely lucky that Fallen Heaven was capable of such a feat! Although it may only be a byproduct that was left out from refining the soul essences, possessing not much of quality, it was still useful for him in his lower stages.

However...

ʼI should be careful to not comprehend these insights too much, or my path in law comprehension might be set in stone, making me unable to comprehend other types of fire and lightning laws...ʼ

Since it was Level One Intent, it didnʼt affect him much in terms of comprehending other branches of the same laws, but if his comprehension were to increase to Level Three or Level Four, it might get difficult for him to comprehend the other types of laws in the vast sea of Fire Laws and Lightning Laws.

Therefore, his main path of extinction lightning might relatively get difficult to comprehend in the future if he were to overly comprehend this destructive violet lightning. Fortunately, he didnʼt have another Violet-Lightning Paralysis Beetleʼs Soul Essence to refine, but what about the Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apeʼs Soul Essence that allowed him to comprehend their fiery crimson flames?

He hadnʼt even begun to follow a particular path in Fire Laws, so it shouldnʼt matter, but if he were to compare magical beast flames, he preferred if the flames he comprehended were one of the Fire Phoenix or the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin that might possess flames when judging by its name.

They were much better than comprehending something from these Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes. However, he doubted that he could find Fire Phoenixes to kill, much less the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin, which seemed to be less known or practically unknown amongst cultivators, but he wasnʼt sure of that as he hadnʼt looked in the wider world yet.

Davisʼs eyes flashed as he finished contemplating the known and uncertain advantages and drawbacks. He closed his eyes, calmly entering meditation as if it were second nature to him as he began to refine the soul essences, but this time, since he was at the extreme peak of the Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage, he didnʼt refine Low-Level King Beast Stage Soul Essences anymore as he there was a chance that he might break through to the King Soul Stage.

Therefore, he began to refine those hundred and thirty-eight Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Soul Essences one by one!

ʼNow, letʼs see if my soulʼs prowess is capable of increasing without breaking through...!ʼ
