Natalya flew back to Davis, basking in the gazes of awe and reverence from the crowd.
"Poor Alexi. You didn't show any mercy to him, Natalya."
Davis couldn't help but chuckle when Natalya came stood in front of him. She pouted before she shrugged with both her hands, looking as though she was fuming.
"Husband, I'm representing you, so I must look cool as big sister did back then."
"So you were imitating Evelynn's coldness. No wonder…"
Natalya pursed her sweet lips and proudly yet swiftly nodded her head like a pigeon.
"Besides, I think I showed Alexi some mercy as he wasn't more frozen than the others."
Davis looked proud, viewing her pale white skin before he embraced her and sent a soul transmission.
"You little minx. You mastered Ice and Yin Laws spectacularly that after consuming the Forsaken Yin Lotus and obtaining comprehensions from Iesha, you are even able to use deadly techniques like the Forsaken Yin Deathbed and additionally hoodwinking the others using Forsaken Draining Lotus with ease."
"Mhm."
The Forsaken Draining Lotus were the icy lotuses others got hit with. It did not cause them to fall unconscious like the Forsaken Yin Lotus, but it begins draining their vitality as it freezes them and wouldn't leave them unless it was overpowered or turned into a husk. However, the scale that Natalya used was weak, appropriate for the competition.
That's why Faus Lanate possessed ten more years to live, not a month or two after getting hit with the formless Forsaken Yin Deathbed that seeped into one's soul through their nostrils or eyes.
Furthermore, she even managed to evade the eyes of many powerhouses while using these two techniques, which speaks volumes about her comprehension.
Davis couldn't believe that his Natalya had become a Peak-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouse already in terms of prowess.
"However, you forgot to mention Iesha's primal yin essence that you forcefully shoved into me."
"You-"
Davis became flabbergasted at Natalya's reminder before his hands snaked towards her ample bosoms and flicked her tits, causing her to flinch and even heave a silent moan as her lips parted.
"It was Iesha's primal yin essence indeed, but I tainted that with my yang and splurged it all inside you."
He whispered in her ears dirtily and flirtatiously, causing her to turn all red.
Natalya was feeling the heat as her neck blushed all the way to her ears. However, she forcefully used her ice energy to calm herself and raised her head to look at him, her face appearing entrancing and delectable to the hungry Davis.
"Husband, I have a doubt."
Natalya sent a soul transmission, but this time, she sent it to everyone besides them as they looked as if they were going to interfere if she and Davis kept flirting with soul transmission.
Davis blinked before shooting a nod at her to go on.
"Another boost of massive energy to reform the seas is hard to come by, and I don't want to fail the next time if next time is even possible, so even though I received so many things from you and Iesha, how come I am not still able to reach perfection in my Ice and Yin Immeasurable Seas?"
"Ah, so you're worried about that."
"Don't worry. Reaching perfection in Immeasurable Sea is harder than creating a Rune of the fifth level: the Imposing Rune. What you're experiencing is merely a bottleneck in terms of the revolving core. You do not have an Extreme Mutated Core or even a Variation Core, so it is difficult for you to reach perfection in the Law Sea Stage. On the other hand, I have an Extreme Mutated Core, and even though it is easier for me in terms of bottleneck, I require vast sources of energy that only after I absorbed two primal yin essences and two immortal blood essences was I able to form two Immeasurable Seas to perfection, making them reach a full whole hundred and fifty kilometers."
Davis initially thought that the law sea would be endless, but it was not the case as once it reached hundred and forty-nine kilometers, it was extremely difficult to make the last step and reach hundred and fifty kilometers that most elite geniuses who had created Immeasurable Seas in the past hadn't been able to take that step.
After that, the law sea became rigid, unable to expand no matter how hard he tried even though he had volumes of energy remaining that he had to suppress yet slowly have them leave his body because they wouldn't stay long. That's why he had them nourishing his body, which was quickly over as though it was like trying to fill a river.
Nonetheless…
"Natalya, you only need to make a bit more effort in comprehension to balance your revolving core's normal state. After that, as long as you gather slightly more or the same energy as me to reform the law seas, you'll be able to reform your two Immeasurable Seas to perfection and additionally pave your way into the Law Rune Stage, creating an Imposing Rune."
Davis consoled Natalya, and the others were also listening after seeing that they were not flirting.
Natalya nodded, but a hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes.
Vast sources of energy? She only had Iesha and the Frigid Yin Spirit Pool to aid her, but that wasn't enough, and the Frigid Yin Spirit Pool was originally meant for her breakthrough into the Law Rune Stage. It did not have enough energy to support both tasks.
What Davis absorbed was far higher in quality and quantity!
That was Lea Weiss's primal yin essence and Zestria's primal yin essence. Both of their Body Tempering Cultivations were at the Ninth Stage when Davis took them, but Lea Weiss's Essence Gathering Cultivation was far higher, two levels higher than Peak-Level Law Rune Stage, so the energy she imbued unto Davis along with the two drops of Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal's blood essences were vast enough for him to recreate two Immeasurable Seas to perfection but where under the heaven could she go find that kind of vast energy?
Chances are that she had to leave this idea of perfection.
Davis saw that Natalya noticed that the chances weren't realistic as her expression was a bit downcast. He patted the back of her shoulder and held her tight.
"Don't break through yet. I'll find a vast source of energy for you soon after this competition is over."
"Wha- No." Natalya softly shook her head as she raised her head again, "This is enough. I'm already powerful enough to battle Peak-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses. What am I going to do exceeding that when it is more than enough?"
Davis stared at her for two seconds before his lips moved.
"You're going to catch up to Evelynn, right?"
"…"
Natalya's sweet lips parted, not knowing what to say to his sharp perception before she nodded her head.
"Then this isn't going to be enough. You know when she obtains a suitable cultivation manual, she will rise in prowess more than you could think of."
"But this isn't about her or me… Finding such a resource is something diffi-"
"Ah, just leave that to me, your husband. I could not give you all my time, so you will at least let me do this, won't you?"
Natalya's lips quivered, trying hard to fight back, but then she slammed her face on his chest and started to tremble. First, he made her horny, and now, he was going to make her cry. She didn't ask for this now and only wanted his praise for her achievements on the battle stage.
"I… If I were only a bit stronger… We could've forced them to give back the Spirit Stone Vein Cores they cheated out of us…"
Davis raised his brows on hearing Natalya's sobbing voice. He raised his head and looked at the unconscious Faus Lanate being healed by the Starnova Emperor, and beside them was the beautiful Farah Lanate, her features extraordinarily beautiful that he could tell that she could compare to Lea Weiss and the others just by her looking at her clear and sharp eyes along with her demeanor.
It was in his expectations that the Starnova Emperor would come to help Faus Lanate due to the connection he shared with Farah Lanate, and it seemed that Natalya was aware of that too, lamenting her weakness even though she was powerful already because if she had a hundred and fifty-kilometer Immeasurable Sea, things would've been different.
Her prowess would then compare to the Four Great Righteous Leaders, allowing her to stand on par with them!
And then, Faus Lanate could only be revived by her, which could've brought back the wealth they lost as she could've demanded it for Faus Lanate's revival. However…
"Natalya, you're overthinking." Davis gently ran his fingers through Natalya's silky black hair, "The way those two old farts acted, they were rather disappointed that Faus Lanate wasn't dead yet."
"Huh?"
"No, really, just think about it… How could they have a publicly known cuckold be the Palace Master of their Glorious Pill Palace?"
"Pfft!~"
Dalila Leehan hurriedly shut her mouth, but it was too late as her laughter burst out from her sweet lips, causing an avalanche of laughs to echo from the other ladies. It was ruthless of Dalila to laugh at this moment, but this also told them that she had no ties with that cuckold, rather gathering approval from the other ladies.
Meanwhile, Natalya blinked at Davis with teary eyes before she finally understood.
Even if she had demanded the Spirit Stone Vein Cores back, they probably wouldn't have given it and even chosen to forsake Faus Lanate on the spot!
It was only Faus Lanate's aunt Farah Lanate that truly cared about him, wanting to save him, that she even begged the Starnova Emperor to save him. Otherwise, the Starnova Emperor wouldn't have moved, at least not publicly, to save a disgusting failure of a man who tried to take revenge on his target's woman of all things!
