Chapter 1962: Arbitration?
Witnessing the scene of the cauldron spirit coming back to life, Davis’s eyes shot wide before he couldn’t help but smile.
It seemed that Ellia knew many strange techniques, one even capable of saving an artifact spirit.
After all, once a weapon got destroyed, its spirit would naturally die. What she did was essentially heaven-flipping to these people, even to him. She used her soul force at this moment to capture the artifact’s spirit and delay its death. Such a technique left everyone gasping for breath, but Davis didn’t believe that she was at Peak-Level King Soul Stage. He knew that she was intentionally hiding it for whatever reason he couldn’t understand.
’Looks like Yama and Lancelot would finally be able to keep up with me...’
Davis almost grinned from ear to ear as he recalled his Grieving Emerald Scythe and Golden Sheen Obsidian Spear that literally went through trials and tribulations along with him.
He had feared abandoning them as he couldn’t easily upgrade them as the chances of failure was high as advised by Sophie, but with Ellia’s strange technique, he felt that as long as he found similar ores as the ones they currently dwelled in, it should be possible to transplant the armament spirit.
However, he didn’t know the consequences of using that technique and quickly suppressed the feeling of hope as he didn’t want to be disappointed.
He had also thought about using the Bloodbirth Ore after plundering them the Blood Pledge Villa, but it seems the ore was of blood attribute and would not be compatible with other laws, even end up crippling itself if other laws were poured, making him sigh in disappointment. However, he could understand. If the Bloodbirth Ore was heaven-defying in being able to support many laws while self-evolving, countless powers would be after it that the Blood Pledge Villa would be destroyed long ago.
Therefore, he could only wait to clash with Myria before milking the method of transferring armaments spirits from one treasure to another from her.
Nonetheless, witnessing Myria cast a strange technique to save the spirit while also revealing her Peak-Level King Soul Stage Cultivation, the people were both amazed yet terrified. The prowess of her soul seemed to have no bounds that they could feel that it could suppress them. Even the Four Great Righteous Sect Leaders felt their hearts shake.
She also seemed to be a tri-cultivator who almost reached the Ninth Stage in all three cultivation systems in terms of prowess, invoking the question of whether she was another supreme genius sprout.
Were they truly witnessing the birth of another Emperor of Death?
"We must protect her no matter what."
The Vast Sky Emperor uttered at this moment, causing the three of their expressions to change.
"Naturally, she will be protected."
The Mandate Emperor uttered with a grave voice. However, the Karmic Guardian Emperor and Starnova Emperor could understand that their protection wasn’t for the Vast Sky Emperor’s schemes. They thought of protecting her from him as well.
The only problem was, how were they going to protect her from the Emperor of Death?
They couldn’t allow supreme geniuses like them to fall even if their fate was to reign supreme while killing the other. This was a time of calamity, and as the supreme elders protecting the human race, they somehow had to reconcile all the powers and unify them under one banner. The more powerful they were, the more chances they stood against the calamity.
The result of the battle was announced.
Ellia ended up as the winner after Krynt Skyridge admitted defeat. She shot a bright look at Davis once the spatial formation receded before she turned and left towards her Mystic Ice Sect.
The crowd was still in an uproar over her strange techniques and also her three cultivations. Not only did she dominate the Seventh Stage Segment, but she was also dominating in the Eighth Stage Segment. Regretfully, she had given up after injuring and crippling so many competitors, so they couldn’t see her true prowess when compared with Clara Alstreim but still, they were eagerly awaiting to see what would happen if Myria clashed with the Emperor of Death or even the Yin Lotus Fairy in this Eighth Stage Segment.
The New Era Battle Arena was full of gossip and excitement even after the next battle had commenced.
At this moment, the Mandate Emperor and the Karmic Guardian Emperor all approached the Alstreim Family’s seating area, flying over together.
Davis had been speaking with his women, who had all come out halfway through Ellia’s battle to watch her defeat the Pill Refining Sect’s opponent. He was just saying that Ellia was still herself, even going as far as to help her opponent restore his armament spirit to life and a few of the intricacies of the technique she used, although he couldn’t understand much.
Moreover, he also faintly sensed her martial energy and was shocked to find that it was attributeless. Increasing one’s cultivation required resources, and many resources were elemental in nature, so how could she increase her Body Tempering Cultivation with little to no attribute like her Essence Gathering Cultivation?
They discussed it through soul transmission and arrived at the conclusion that she had better manuals and was extremely knowledgeable about resources to be able to attain that kind of cultivation state.
They were convinced that her knowledge definitely compares to an immortal, perhaps even above that.
At this moment, his eyes caught a glance of the sudden visit of the entourage, causing him to smile faintly. However, before he could go, Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow greeted them.
Despite their status, authority, and power, the Mandate Emperor and the Karmic Guardian Emperor didn’t even dare to slight them a bit as the two Ancestors knew that Davis respected them. After exchanging pleasantries, they floated over to him while his women all took two steps back, with only Evelynn remaining by his side.
"Greetings, Emperor of Death."
They cupped their hands, causing him to greet them.
"Is there anything worthy of you two carrying your esteemed selves all the way over here to this humble area of mine?"
"How can it be?" The Mandate Emperor lightly chuckled, "You are likely more powerful than us. If you are not, it won’t take much time for you to surpass us. How can we maintain superior air in front of you? That’s like asking for a beating."
"Ahaha. The Mandate Emperor is indeed amusing."
Davis also laughed along with them. However...
Amusing? The people who heard that felt like their hearts exploded but beating too fast while his women were full of praise for him that he could talk with a person who was touted as the supreme powerhouse of the human race a few years ago like that.
Davis and the two Emperors began exchanging some words for starters before he couldn’t help but ask.
"In any case, my little sister Clara has returned to train more, but what about my little aunt Tia?" Davis turned to face the Karmic Guardian Emperor, "Are you intentionally restricting her?"
The Karmic Guardian Emperor didn’t get panicked nor offended. Instead, he smiled as he shook his head.
"Sigh, that child says that she doesn’t want to leave until she could become useful to you."
Davis felt complex. His gaze would fall at the Heaven Gazing Sect’s seating area sometimes, but she wouldn’t be there. Even in this competition, he came to understand that she was bitterly training from the start. Just as he thought he should go see her, the Karmic Guardian Emperor spoke.
"There are millions of people who have gathered here, and the amount of karma intertwining and shattering is also great. This is a good opportunity for all our Heaven Gazing Sect’s disciples to have a significant breakthrough in their comprehension over Karmic Laws."
Davis blinked.
"So you have karmic gathering formations set up in your resting rooms?"
"Indeed. It is constructed in a way that it is connected to the entire New Era Battle Arena, allowing it to gather an invisible yet faint amount of karmic energy from the surroundings. Even with so many people, you could not see a hint of the true form of karma, so that’s depressing in its own way, but to have this kind of opportunity where even the heavenly geniuses with extreme karmic fate are gathered, my disciples are blessed. On the other hand, I have no use for it as my level is already high."
"I see."
Davis nodded. If she had that kind of determination, he felt moved as well. In that case, he could only wait for Tia to show up by herself.
Sensing the atmosphere was amicable, the Mandate Emperor decided to get to the point.
"Emperor of Death, if you have some kind of feud with Myria, I suggest talking about it instead of reacting with violence. You are both supreme geniuses, and we need you two to face the calamity. As long as we could please both parties, please state whatever requirements you have for her and us. We would try to do our best to fulfill it."
Facing the Emperor of Death, he didn’t hide anything. Instead, he knew that being straightforward was the best approach with Davis’s character.
Davis’s brows raised.
"Oh, you can settle our feud?"
The two Emperors both solemnly nodded, their expressions sincere.
Davis stared at them for a few seconds, causing them to feel some pressure before he lowered his head.
"Sigh, where can I go tell my grievances? From a young age, I was meticulous yet daring when it came to certain things. Even then, I was unable to stop it from happening. Sigh, it is a black mark in my history..."
Hearing the regret in Davis’s tone, the Mandate Emperor quickly placated.
"Emperor of Death. Please don’t worry. To receive a setback is beneficial for all cultivators. Only with a loss would one know the true taste of victory. As your elders, we will listen and help you as much as we can."
"Then I can only rely on you elders."
Davis cupped his fists, causing them to smile amicably before Davis turned to look at Myria, who also matched gazes with him. His brows were narrowed while he brought his hands up, gesturing at her figure using the palm of his hands.
"So, I had this one thing that I cared about the most during my childhood but didn’t know how to treasure it. However, before I could even realize its specialty like I could at this moment, this crazy Myria appeared from nowhere and stole it from me. Do you elders think you can get it back for me?"
"..."
The Mandate Emperor and Karmic Guardian Emperor stared at Davis’s face.
Was he serious?
