Chapter 1495 Disbelief To His Strength
Nadia's dark energy overwhelmed Elizar Yantra's body to suppress his powers because she ate him while keeping him alive, and Davis's soul suppression wouldn't extend into her mouth to suppress him unless she opened it, but she was chewing and grinding with her teeth to her heart's content!
Nevertheless, she made sure to make him suffer since she knew that this person was Davis's enemy!
The whole time she was eating him alive, he was screaming excruciatingly in pain, although it was muffled in Nadia's mouth and also hard to look at for some of them, especially Diana and Edward, who had never seen a gruesome scene such as this!
Evelynn and the others had their eyes narrowed. But, Claire and Edgar both watched with wide eyes, perceiving that the injustice done to them and their Julianna had been completely avenged as of this moment. The mastermind has been brought down by their capable descendant Davis Loret, making them immensely proud and relieved as that burden fell off their shoulder.
Claire began to shed tears before she bumped her face into her husband's chest, silently crying while Nora came behind her and consoled along with Logan. Nora had her fair share of enmity with the Yantras for making her look like a villainess when she was innocent, but she let her big sister and her father deal with the situation at hand because they truly deserved it.
The Goldcrystal-Horned Wyvern ate the remaining feast, the lower body of Elizar Yantra to be exact, and licked his lips, instantly raising his cultivation by two levels. Just the leg that was at Peak-Level Martial Master Stage was enough for him to improve from Mid-Level Saint Beast Stage to Peak-Level Saint Beast Stage, so it could be seen how human meat was beneficial for magical beasts and vice versa.
It was just the way it was, as nature or the heavens intended it to be.
Nevertheless, the Goldcrystal-Horned Wyvern was just a shy away from mutating and entering Lord Beast Stage if he was lucky to mutate again into a King Rank Species Wyvern.
Davis felt that the nectar should've already lost its efficacy on him for him to successfully mutate again. Either that or a large amount of nectar more than what Davis had would be required for him to mutate again.
He went and petted his old bud, the Goldcrystal-Horned Wyvern, praising him for improving before all the others alighted from him.
Evelynn came to him first and embraced him, pushing her big bosoms towards him as she laid her head on his chest.
Davis saw that she was silent, simply reveling in extreme happiness, perhaps because of the fact that he brought down a hated powerhouse and killed him like he was killing a helpless yet evil person.
The other people went to the other side, giving them space while also excited about how Davis had become powerful. He actually stood at the top of the Fifty-Two Territories now, and how many years old was he again? Just a few months away from reaching twenty-six years old!
Just this fact alone made them feel the shivers!
"Davis, did Isabella get pregnant?"
Evelynn looked up at him, her eyes looking expectant.
Davis shook his head, garnering her to nod in understanding before he asked.
"You're really okay with handing over your privilege like that?"
Evelynn smiled.
"Sometimes, achievements overwhelm privilege. So far, I have done nothing for you in terms of raising your strength, but Isabella has made you so powerful..."
She looked at him with a lovestruck gaze that Davis smilingly shook his head.
"Silly, don't forget that you're my first wife. I try to love you all as much as equally, but know that you have a slight advantage in terms of right as my first wife..."
"I know..." Evelynn happily replied, "You gave me far more privilege, believing that I would make your life more enriching and wonderful, and I would not betray that belief, nor would I misuse the right. Isabella truly deserves your child first. Not only me but everyone is of the same opinion."
Natalya and Fiora nodded before the former pouted.
"You two are going to make me jealous, so much so that I want to rob Evelynn from you and protect her from your evil hands."
"Oh?" Davis raised his brows, "Are you trying to steal my woman? If you were a man, I would've killed you, but you're a woman and my second wife. I guess I might make an exception and allow you to rob her..."
"Shameless fellow~"
Natalya went red-faced as she knew what exactly he meant. Evelynn couldn't help but giggle.
"Forgive me, but I still couldn't make up my mind to share the bed."
"You never have to..." Davis gently smiled as he ran his fingers over her silky green hair, "It's not a compulsion, just a shameless desire of mine that no one needs to bother with unless they're truly willing."
"Mhm~"
Evelynn felt her heart be at peace, almost as if it was floating in the sea of happiness.
"That said..." Fiora suddenly grinned, "These few days... I wonder if husband did anything to Niera and Sophie. You can't possibly say that you didn't do anything because I won't believe it..."
Evelynn and Natalya giggled, looking as if they were going to tease him to death.
Davis wryly smiled, "But I didn't do anything..."
"Beh~"
"Liar~"
The two blood sisters were ready to fight while Davis shook his head.
"Unfortunately..."
He began explaining what happened in these few days, the matter of enslaving Xanbas Goldsky, and the Ancestors heading for seclusion while he dealt with Elizar Yantra.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim entered seclusion, confident that he could break into the Mid-Level Law Rune Stage. In fact, it seemed that he emptied the treasury off of Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments, no longer willing to save for the benefits of others.
Davis saw that he was going all out for his future and approved, giving him the Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments he took from his slave Xanbas Goldsky.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim was extremely grateful after hesitating for a while to accept these resources. He did expect Davis to help the family, not him, so it came as a pleasant surprise. Furthermore, this was the second time, with the first being aiding him to reach the Martial Sage Stage with the heavenly nectar.
On the other hand, Davis also gave all those Peak-Level Spirit Stones that previously belonged to his slave to Ancestor Tirea Snow, telling her to raise the defensive formations of her Falling Snow Sect for a month. After all, defensive formations being active for a month, even if they were not reacting to every anomaly, are still going to use up a lot of energy.
Ancestor Tirea Snow had also first declined it like Ancestor Dian Alstreim, but after thinking about the maidens of the Falling Snow Sect and the current position she placed herself in, she swallowed her pride and accepted aid from him.
If she stayed here and protected the Alstreim Family, then who would protect the Falling Snow Sect in the meantime? Who would protect the maidens of the Falling Snow Sect?
She almost cried from being moved by his thoughtfulness as no growing youth would be giving out his resources like this as they would prioritize themselves but managed to hold back her emotions.
She inwardly affirmed to make it up to him after her marriage.
As for the Silverwinds and Ezekiel Alstreim, they couldn't possibly unveil their hidden forces to the world, at least not yet, not until a few more bastards decide to challenge Ancestor Dian Alstreim before they become no longer able to tolerate their trespassing as they would gain a valid reason to kill.
In fact, it was Davis who advised Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow to wait, for he had some devious traps laying for some powerhouses who wanted to steal the wonderful bride even though it was quite an impossible feat. Nevertheless, as long as they stained their hands in evil actions, they were walking valuables to him as he would have no qualms to kill them, becoming free of conscience.
This was also the reason why he gave them all the Peak-Level Spirit Stones and Vein Fragments from Xanbas Goldsky's spatial ring because he would be gaining more anyway as he had now gained from Elizar Yantra, but the most important reason was that he also knew that Isabella was extremely rich with her Immortal Inheritance.
If he wanted wealth, she would splurge him with riches as she only knew how to give, going as far as to explain her entire assets to him.
After he explained the current situation of the Alstreim Family, he then moved on to the matter of the Soul Emperor.
The others also listened, their expressions becoming serious over this shocking matter before he had to expound that there were no dangers so far to calm them down, though there might be dangers if he went ahead to measure the danger. He was not stupid enough to do that, and he certainly didn't want to make an enemy out of a High-Level Emperor Soul Stage Powerhouse at this time.
Honestly, he felt that he would just end up incapacitated for a few months at the very least if he were to kill Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross. However, the pain stemming from the soul... He never wanted to experience that again unless he absolutely needed to. He felt that it was better to die instead of experiencing that torture.
Although he made a brave face towards Natalya, Fiora, and Shirley at that time, only he knew how it almost split his will apart. He felt that what Elizar Yantra experienced a while ago couldn't even measure to a quarter of what he experienced when killing that Ancestor of the Burning Phoenix Ridge, so what needs to be said about killing a Soul Emperor at High-Level Emperor Soul Stage?
He felt like he could practically die in the cruelest way possible if he were to not survive from the sacrifice of soul essence after killing Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross.
'I need to raise my Soul Forging Cultivation again. My current prowess isn't enough even though I don't feel any danger...'
Davis mused.
High-Level Essence Gathering and Body Tempering Ninth Stage Powerhouses were one thing, but Ninth Stage Soul Forging Powerhouses? He instinctively knew that it was going to strip him clean of half or more soul essence compared to what he required to kill the former powerhouses!
"Davis, I wish to see my parents as well. All of us going back in a month to attend the Ancestors' marriage would be perfect."
Nora pronounced her wishes to which Davis nodded.
"No problem. I can arrange for that when the time comes... I just need to make sure that the risk is less for you all to be there at that time because things might get troublesome if some powerhouses tried to crash the wedding."
"I understand. Thank you~"
Nora nodded, understanding the consequences before Davis waved his goodbye to them after spending a few more minutes with them. He went back to the spatial gate, returning to the Tripartite Alliance Territory!
