Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1348 - Domains

Shirleyʼs red pupils kept trembling as she thought of the heights her man could reach if he so were to pull this crazy feat. She practically thought of his success rate on top of including his resources and felt that it was worth trying.

However, she still couldnʼt help but worry.

”I can get you the Infernal Core Flame Leaf, but are you sure that you want to use it? If you fail somehow and end up losing your physical body, I will be the one to feel miserable, you know...”

At this point, two top disciples stood up, looking ready to battle as they flew into the battle stage, but he didnʼt bother to look at their performance and continued conversing with Shirley.

”Haha...” Davis chuckled in her head, ”You donʼt need to do feel miserable, Shirley. I must take risks to improve my Essence Gathering Cultivation to the very limit, or else, I must embrace mediocrity.”

”Mediocrity?” Shirley rolled her eyes, ”Manifesting Superior Law Manifestation is mediocrity?”

”No, but what about the further stages?” Davis questioned, ”Do you think I can form this so-called Perfect Domain? Do you think I can conjure the Immeasurable Sea? Or the fabled Supreme Immortal Rune?”

”How do you know about the Supreme Immortal Rune...?” Shirley sounded shocked, ”Even I only heard this term from Elliaʼs other incarnation. She warned me not to be hasty in rushing through the stages and told me of these realms, so I was rather careful and gathered resources to aid my diluted fire phoenix essence blood to assimilate within me.”

”I was able to reach the peak of Level Six Intent when entering the Law Dominion Stage, only becoming eligible to form a Supreme Domain. After killing Schneider, it took me a few months in the mini-realm to find a relevant heavenly resource for me to reform my Supreme Domain to Perfect Domain, so no one knows that I have formed a Perfect Domain, not even Esvele.”

Davis nodded his head in understanding and satisfaction.

”Excellent, Shirley. Your cultivation is extraordinary, so donʼt try to rush your cultivation anymore. You can take it easy now that Iʼm here with you...”

Shirley nodded her head in a shy manner. Truthfully, after they had confessed to each other, she no longer felt the panic that irked her heart, that told her to make haste in everything.

She felt like she could afford to relax a bit, at least for a while.

Davis recalled his knowledge of domains. There were five levels in forming domains in the Law Dominion Stage.

The first is naturally the weak, Flawed Domain, the basic domain a cultivator at the Law Dominion Stage could form. However, the requirement for them to form this domain is to comprehend Level Three Intent.

Without even comprehending Level Three Intent of a particular law in Essence Gathering Cultivation, cultivators canʼt step into the Law Dominion Stage as they would fail to form a domain.

Yes, other than requiring High-Level Spirit Stones to cultivate to Law Dominion Stage, the law intent remained a requirement as well. In the same way, to reach the Law Sea Stage, one must at the least have comprehended Level Six Intent and possess Peak-Level Spirit Stones to supplement their increase in cultivation.

The second domain that a human could form is named Mediocre Domain, and the requirement to be able to form it is to have comprehended Level Four Intent.

In the same way, to form the higher realm domain, the Impeccable Domain, one must have comprehended Level Five Intent.

And then comes the domain which Shirley had first formed; the Supreme Domain. She had learned Level Six Intent to form this Supreme Domain. It must be known that not one young cultivator in the Nine Western Territories is said to have reached this level, although there might be such figures in the past.

Nevertheless, Shirley patiently waited and reformed her Supreme Domain into Perfect Domain, for which Level Seven Intent is required.

However, it isnʼt that easy to form a Perfect Domain.

After all, just because a person reached a particular level in Law Intent doesnʼt necessarily mean they can form the highest domain possible, not to mention that for forming a Perfect Domain, comprehending Level Seven Intent is nearly impossible unless one steps into the Law Dominion Stage.

If they were to form a Perfect Domain, then they should comprehend Level Seven Intent the moment they step into the Law Dominion Stage. Even then, the chances of forming a Perfect Domain are relatively less than its counterpart in the Law Manifestation Stage.

The chances were less than manifesting a Superior Law Manifestation upon breaking through to the Law Manifestation Stage, and thatʼs why people increased the chances of forming a Perfect Domain with the help of a heavenly resource but is obtaining a suitable heavenly resource that easy?

Either the geniuses had to try their luck in finding a suitable heavenly resource to increase their chances or try remanifesting multiple times with their own chances. Of course, they can try the latter method endlessly if they can withstand the backlash of the failure to remanifest the Law Manifestation every time because it affects their foundation in a harmful way.

Thinking of all this, Davis recalled his Lightning Lawʼs progress.

It was at Level Six Intent, meaning that he was already at the peak of what he could reach in this Law Manifestation Stage. All that is left for him is to comprehend to the very limit of Level Six Intent and breakthrough to the Law Dominion Stage, hopefully comprehending Level Seven Intent with Eldiaʼs help before forming a Perfect Domain, perhaps with the help of a suitable heavenly resource, that is, if he can even find one.

However, there were a few complications that he needed to address first before entering the Law Dominion Stage, like mutating his revolving core again to naturally accommodate Fire Laws!

Needless to say, those who have formed a Perfect Domain and have an Unblemished Foundation in Essence Gathering Cultivation could undoubtedly cross a stage to battle! This is what Evelynn was after, and this was what he was after as well!

”Whatʼs your current level in Fire Laws?” Davis asked with curiosity.

”I muse that I am at the very peak of Level Seven Intent in Fire Laws,” Shirley answered without missing a beat.

”Furthermore, to materialize the Immeasurable Sea within my dantian when I break through to the Law Sea Stage, I have to comprehend Level One Abstruse Intent in Fire Laws, which is nearly impossible in this place. If I am like this, then I would probably be stuck in this stage for a few years because I muse that it would be extremely hard to find a suitable heavenly resource that could increase my chances in materializing an Immeasurable Sea.”

”Thatʼs why Iʼm also a bit indecisive as to what kind of step I should take next. Settle for the highest level Immeasurable Sea, or settle for one level lower and then try to rematerialize the Immeasurable Sea as I did for my Perfect Domain? However, the latter would be even harder than materializing in the beginning! What should I do...?”

Davis couldnʼt help but smile at her questions.

”Damn it! If I werenʼt aiming for the Immortal Grade Trial, I wouldʼve already returned and cleared the Emperor Grade Trial as I feel that Iʼm already powerful enough to do so!”

Hearing Shirleyʼs outburst, his widened lips went agape as he couldnʼt help but chuckle.

”Is the trial that hard?”

”Not really, but Iʼm afraid that my will isnʼt up to par...” Shirley sounded annoyed.

”Oh, your Soul Forging Cultivation...” Davis realized and recalled that the Fire Phoenix Immortal had a test of will as well.

Thatʼs how Clara had heard that Shirley was crazy about him in the first place.

Will wasnʼt just a matter of willpower, intent, and conviction, but that these three had to be backed by powerful cultivation for it to be genuinely robust and more substantial.

”Right now, Iʼm at the Elder Soul Stage from the absorption of numerous resources and my diluted fire phoenix blood essence alike.”

”What?” Davis already knew that Shirleyʼs soul was at Low-Level Elder Soul Stage but, ”That diluted blood essence also helps with Soul Forging Cultivation?”

Shirley giggled at his astonishment, ”A little bit, but Iʼve already exhausted the diluted blood essences, so thereʼs no way I would experience a drastic increase again, and I muse that I need to get to Mature Soul Stage to clear the test of will. Therefore, I decided getting to the Eighth Stage in the meantime would be pleasant as well.”

”Honestly, without being obsessive towards you, I donʼt think I could have cleared the test of will in the past...” Shirleyʼs eyebrows quivered ever so lightly, ”You were my goal in the past, and now that I obtained you, Iʼm rather afraid that I lost my drive.”

Davis blinked, ”Itʼs not the end-”

”I know...” Shirleyʼs b.r.e.a.s.ts dr.a.p.ed by her tight crimson robes heaved, ”But still, it does cause a dent in my will. Moreover, Iʼm a bit.... dissatisfied that we are unable to... make love...”

Looking at Shirleyʼs ears that went red in embarrassment, Davis returned his gaze to the battle stage where the two random top disciples fought. The boisterous cheers from the crowd and the explosions from the battle were rather blaring that only a few were looking at them exchange soul transmission, looking curious as to what they might be talking about.

”Of course... Iʼm not blaming you for being in your soul body...” Shirley hurriedly explained, ”Iʼm blaming myself for-”

”As I said...” Davis interrupted as he turned to look at her again, ”Donʼt be hasty. Take it easy as we have all the time in the world to become one.”

Shirley looked at him from the corner of her left eye as her stiff shoulders relaxed. After being told a second time, she realized that she was still overly hasty and worried over nothing, perhaps even appearing annoying.

However, looking at him possess an affectionate light in his disguised black eyes, she inwardly melted as she nodded her head.

”Mhm...”

A sweet sound of agreement and deference echoed from her closed lips.
