Divine Emperor of Death

Davis instantly redirected the gentle amalgamation of energy to his bones, which in turn entered his bone marrow by seeping through the bones.

The gentle energy was just like a wave of refreshment before it started to wreak havoc. His expressions simultaneously changed when he experienced immense pain from his bones.

A prickling sense of pain, as if his bones were being carved made him shudder in pain. He almost wanted to dig out his bones from his body to curb the pain, just like how one scratches their itch to temporarily calm their itchiness.

In truth, it was not that the gentle energy from the Gold Bone Marrow Enhancing Pill turned berserk, but it was his bone marrow that simply couldnʼt withstand the tempering.

This pill enhances oneʼs battle aura by enhancing oneʼs bone marrow and in turn, helps one to break into the Sixth Stage of Body Tempering Cultivation.

If he couldnʼt withstand the pain and successfully enhance his battle aura to the next level, then he would be harmed and his Body Tempering Cultivation would regress to some point, maybe even a level or two.

Time passed as he endured the excruciatingly yet extreme tempering process. His concentration and focus were destroyed many times but since his willpower was enhanced by his Mature Soul Stage Cultivation, he was able to quickly re-enter through sheer focus and continue the tempering.

After an unknown amount of time, the pill efficacy that remained in his bone marrow was fully absorbed which in turn, helped his battle aura to undergo a rebirth.

That once gold colored battle aura slowly turned into a type of energy that could semi-materialize at will, just like soul force but a little bit different.

This energy was known as martial energy, and one could use it to create numerous objects to help them in battle.

For example, creating a battle armor out of martial energy to wear and defend at the oneʼs body.

Although, it wasnʼt recommended since the martial energy inside the object would disappear as soon as the martial energy was depleted.

Davis opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood that splashed on the ground was black and gave off some steam, likely, it seemed to be burning.

Due to tempering the bone marrow, he slightly reeked of odor, but he quickly shook that away by using his own energy to wipe off his body.

Davis held his head, thinking how much time had passed.

Since he wasnʼt able to keep his concentration for most of the time, he wasnʼt able to grasp how much time had passed.

He took a message talisman and sent his energy into it.

”Mother, how much time has passed since I last talked to you?”

He waited for a few seconds and received a reply, ”Two weeks passed from the time we discussed about leaving...”

ʼOh, I just took a week again?ʼ Davis mused and inwardly nodded his head.

His breakthrough in Essence Gathering Cultivation System took him a week, and it seems like his breakthrough in Body Tempering Cultivation System also took him a week.

”Good, in a month, we can leave!” Davis replied and extended the deadline by a month.

”You already experienced a breakthrough!?” Claireʼs voice resounded with disbelief.

”Yes, I successfully entered Law Seed Stage and Martial Ascension Stage.”

The other side suddenly went silent for a few seconds before an excited voice could be heard.

”Absolutely wonderful, Davis! I canʼt believe this is happening! Your Body Tempering Cultivation System caught up to your Soul Forging Cultivation System! This is unbelievable!!!”

Davis laughed and felt ecstatic inside, ”Mother, we all know that itʼs because of the Earth Dragon Immortalʼs Blood Essence that Iʼm able to break through this soon.”

”Haha,” Claire proudly laughed, ”You have a point but being able to experience this kind of a breakthrough at 21 simply couldnʼt be brushed off like that! It shouldnʼt be!”

Davis laughed, even more, feeling his motherʼs happiness travel towards his heart, even from the message talisman.

But suddenly, his expression turned a little bit downcast when he thought about his motherʼs Body Tempering Cultivation which stopped at Peak-Level Silver Stage.

He couldnʼt help but say, ”Mother, Iʼm sorry...”

”For what?” Claireʼs confused yet happy voice echoed again.

Davis sighed, ”Mother, I still have the means to raise your cultivation into the Gold Stage without any repercussions but I simply choose not to...”

After a short moment of pause, Claire asked in a bewildered tone, ”What do you mean?”
