Chapter 272 - Peak-tier Imperial Immortal
Dave followed Ryan as the prince led him to his residence. As they departed from their previous location, a shadowy figure trailed behind Ryan, observing his every move. Sensing an opportunity, the figure swiftly picked up a communication device and placed a call.
"Master, Ryan is currently in the company of a mysterious man, and I am unaware of his identity," the shadowy figure reported, awaiting further instructions. A cold voice resonated on the other end, commanding, "Investigate the man's identity and origin thoroughly. Do not return until you have obtained the necessary information."
......
Inside the carriage, Dave and Yudi sat side by side while Ryan attempted to engage Dave in conversation, hoping to glean more information. However, Dave merely smiled and replied, "I am strong, so there's no need for you to learn more about me."
Dave's unwavering confidence reassured Ryan, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief. After a short journey of about an hour, they arrived at the castle and made their way directly to Ryan's residence.
As Dave's presence became known, whispers of astonishment and speculation rippled through those who caught sight of him. His handsome face and growing fame had drawn attention, making the reaction unsurprising to Dave.
Ryan graciously assigned separate rooms for Yudi and Dave, ensuring they received the best treatment available. He informed them that the competition would commence in a week, allowing them time to prepare. Additionally, Ryan provided Dave with a token granting him access to certain areas within the castle, such as the library and training hall.
Yudi remained unaware of Dave's specific plans, but he obediently followed his master's lead. Meanwhile, Ryan shared some information about the other princes, shedding light on their respective strengths.
Dave discovered that the eldest and second princes possessed the highest level of power, both having reached the rank of Imperial King. In contrast, the third and fourth princes held the lesser title of Imperial Lord. Ryan himself, despite being an Imperial Immortal, was considered a genius due to his young age. However, the imminent battle for the throne had left him with limited time to further enhance his abilities.
With the nightfall, Dave and his companion retired to their rooms, seeking rest and respite.
The following morning, Dave announced that Yudi was free to pursue his own activities, as he desired to enter a state of seclusion. Ryan respected Dave's request and refrained from disturbing him, focusing on his own responsibilities and preparations.
.....
Dave sat on the edge of his bed, contemplating his progress. Feeling that he had accumulated a substantial number of sin points, he devised a plan to level up once again. However, he was uncertain about how to increase his Law of Lightning and could only hope that it would improve naturally over time.
Curiosity piqued, Dave accessed his status panel to assess his current attributes and abilities:
=========
Name: Dave Alexander
Age: 18
Race: Human, Demonic Blood
...
Power Level: Imperial Immortal (Low tier)
....
Lv: 56
HP: 40 Million
MP: 60 Million
Exp: 0/128 Million
….
Str: 150,000
Agi: 140,000
Int: 180,000
Soul Power: 30,000
Sin Points: <<70 billion>>
…..
A satisfied smile adorned Dave's face as he marveled at the enormous amount of sin points he had accumulated within a short span of time. With this abundance, he could level up several more times, which would prove advantageous when facing Imperial Kings in just a week's time.
The remarkable increase in sin points was a result of his clone conquering numerous worlds, amassing a following of nearly a trillion creatures who now worshiped him. Furthermore, his audacious exploits in various realms had contributed to his fame, allowing him to gather sin points from billions of formidable individuals in the immortal plane.
Seeking further insight, Dave requested the system to compare his strength with others at the same level. The system revealed that his status was 8 times higher than that of a typical Low-tier Imperial Immortal. This revelation filled Dave with a sense of confidence as he embarked on his grinding session.

After utilizing 65.408 billion sin points, Dave's remaining points were insufficient for further leveling. He sensed a substantial increase in his physical capabilities, surpassing even his previous self's strength. Confident in his abilities, he believed he could now face Imperial Kings despite the two-realm gap. As long as there were no Imperial Emperors in the upcoming challenge, Dave was certain of victory.
