Chapter 1464 - Overlord And The Sage
Isabella aided Fiora to absorb diluted drops of Earth Dragon Blood Essence while Natalya and Evelynn were similar, obtaining more drops of blood in varying quantities and qualities to achieve equilibrium among the three of them.
However, Natalya rejected, explaining that she got more diluted drops of blood essence from Clara.
Indeed, Clara, upon noticing that her sister-in-law Natalya was practicing Ice and Yin Laws, decided to give her three diluted drops of blood essence of the Ice Phoenix Immortal. Natalya was deeply hesitant because she didn’t think it was appropriate to take it from her sister-in-law, but both Davis and Clara convinced her otherwise for twenty minutes straight, making her cry from being moved in the end.
On the other hand, Davis himself got three drops of blood essence from Isabella, going into seclusion to enter the Martial Sage Stage.
He had thought of entering Martial Sage Stage later due to Law Intent constraints as he didn’t want to inscribe lower-level laws into his body on the first try. Otherwise, he would’ve already used up the Million Emerald Calamity Vines Nectar to enter the Martial Sage Stage.
However, with these blood essences on his hands, he didn’t reject Isabella’s gift and decided to enter the Martial Sage Stage. Like Shirley, he felt that it would be fine if he inscribed more powerful laws in his body after making a solid foundation. That was also a valid way to become powerful, while the achievement of succeeding on the first try sometimes didn’t count for anything as repeated practice even after facing failure always makes a person perfect or hone their skills.
With that kind of mindset, he entered seclusion and began absorbing the blood essences while Evelynn and Natalya could also hold on their own with their cultivation stages on top of the fact that they already had Earth Dragon Blood in them. It just became easier to absorb the blood essences, and that’s it.
Nevertheless, Natalya did have aid from Clara in absorbing the three diluted drops of Ice Phoenix Blood Essence. Fortunately, both blood essences in her body didn’t seem to reject each other as one provided nutrition for the body while the other provided nutrition for the essence and the soul.
She didn’t mix them but kept them away from each other, focused, with difficulty, as if she was going into labor without those painful movements. Fortunately, what she had absorbed was just diluted blood essences and not the complete ones. Otherwise, she might be spitting blood, trying to absorb them into her body while there were also numerous chances that she might fail, ending up incurring a backlash.
Nevertheless, feeling that it was worth it, Natalya took her chances and entered seclusion along with Clara aiding her.
After helping Fiora absorb the fifteen diluted drops of blood essences within three days, Isabella came out and counted her pockets.
’Davis and I share about six drops of blood essences at this point, with him absorbing five while I finished absorbing one long ago. I gave one to Evelynn while he gave one to her, making it two blood essences. I have only one left which Natalya rejected, so whom should I give?’
Isabella thought really hard before she decided to give it to her Imperial Father. It was unlikely she would see her father again if she and Davis went to the First Layer, so she felt that it was imperative that she left a few resources for her father to be able to defend himself and live a long life.
She didn’t decide to consume it by herself because it wouldn’t be a major increase in power, although it might be good if she had consumed it along with the four blood essence she gave to the others. However, she didn’t want to hoard but wanted to be like Davis, wanting to increase the overall prowess of the family, her new family.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
For the same reason as Natalya opting for Ice Phoenix Immortal Blood Essence, Isabella didn’t want to let Fiora absorb a complete blood essence since Fiora trained in Wind Laws and might train in another if she gets the opportunity. Therefore, it was crucial that she does not absorb the complete blood essence like her elder sister Natalya to maintain the capability of being flexible enough to accommodate other sources of energy.
The requirements to conjure domains in Law Dominion Stage and Martial Sage Stage were different, the latter having a difference of three levels above from the former.
Isabella, therefore, mused that Davis had congealed a Supreme Domain with Level Nine Intent, making him far more powerful than when she stepped into the Martial Sage Stage.
Nevertheless, after she consumed the true blood essence of the Earth Dragon Immortal, her cultivation, prowess, comprehension, and even foundation rapidly rose after diminishing when she broke through, making her immensely powerful than him even if he caught up to her eventually.
These thoughts quickly faded away when her focus fell on his upper body again without her knowing, making her avert her gaze as she blushed.
At the moment, Davis was immersed in his breakthrough, maximizing his comprehension and stabilizing his agitated foundation from repeated breakthroughs despite adrenaline rushing through his body. He felt his inner yang overflow as vitality kept building up like mountains in his body, making him feel rejuvenated and powerful.
He felt like he could crush planets with this power!
Despite that, he tried to keep himself from lowering. His foundation was at this moment unstable, with it trying to fall into the Blemished Foundation. He was trying to keep it from happening. If it weren’t for the blood essences acting as an anchor, he would’ve found it hard to even breakthrough as his already shaken Flawless Foundation from the repeated breakthroughs might’ve acted as a limiter instead, making him experience a backlash instead of a breakthrough, causing him to fall into the lower stratum of Blemished Foundation.
After all, it was common sense that once a person achieves a breakthrough, the chances of the foundation degrading were higher if they were not accompanied with stabilizing resources, but since Davis had more blood essences compared to before, it made it more manageable for him to not regress in terms of foundation.
It took him some torturous time from that point to stabilize in the Flawless Foundation somewhat before he finally opened his eyes, his sapphire eyes reflecting the gorgeous image of Isabella waiting in the distance, seated like him in a lotus position directly opposite to him.
"You’ve finally opened your eyes..."
Isabella’s melodious voice echoed before Davis blinked.
"How long did you wait...?"
"Somewhere around three hours..." Princess Isabella smiled before she grinned, "Congratulation on breaking through to the Martial Sage Stage, Davis. You’re now an abnormal person who has his Soul Forging Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation higher than his Essence Gathering Cultivation by two stages."
"Hehe... You’re one to say that..."
Davis wryly chuckled as he shook his head before he patted his l.a.p.
"Isabella, why don’t you come here?"
Isabella’s eyes widened before she stiffly yet smilingly shook her head.
