Chapter 1952: Probing?

Once Ivy Aries left, Natalya turned to look into the distance, a smile appearing on her face as she spotted Threelotus. She headed towards her using her normal speed.

Threelotus didn't hide. She was actually forming a huge Spirit Formation with her hands, drawing many inscriptions that transformed into runes in secret. However, looking at the battle end just like that, she was dumbfounded.

When Natalya's gaze locked onto her, she felt that a predator had locked onto her.

'Not good…!'

Threelotus no longer hid her runes and began to hurriedly draw the runes. Only then people see a plethora of runes flying in the sky while Threelotus's fingers were swaying in the air with concentration. Abruptly, the runes connected and resonated with the heaven and earth energy, transforming into a fierce vertical light that shone with a holy light.

"Spirit Formation: Starlight Destruction Lance!"

Threelotus clenched her fist and grasped the white lance, throwing it towards the incoming Natalya.

"…!"

People looked astonished by this spirit formation.

Unexpectedly, its prowess reached the peak of Mid-Level Emperor Soul Stage! Such a thing couldn't be possible for Threelotus with her current prowess, so they assumed it was the power of the spirit formation.

Nevertheless, to unleash such a spirit formation, they could see that she was skillful and talented.

*Bzzz!~*

The soul lance traveled with immense speed but upon reaching Natalya, it began to freeze. Its speed considerable slowed and when Natalya was in front of it, she reached out hand and flicked her finger towards the sharp holy spear.

*Bang!~*

It shattered upon impact.

Natalya's show of force made the people feel crazed. She had just blocked a peak Mid-Level Ninth Stage attack like it was nothing and shattered it with immense ease!

Such power… if they could only have it…

Many eyes burned with greater intensity, especially in the junior generation but from the elder generation, some felt admiration while some hearts died. They could no longer make such improvements to their deeply solidified cultivations.

Threelotus's expression became pale. Just now, she poured forty percent of her soul force in this one move. Those runes took her so much time and energy to create and combine and after she unleashed it, she found that it was a a futile struggle.

Even geniuses with Vast Sea would find this attack unstoppable, even life-threatening but it was laughable in front of Natalya, not even able to make her use a technique to defend against.

'I mean… what did I expect…?'

Threelotus wryly smiled behind her veil. This attack was meant to be a sneak attack with its powerful yet immense speed but it was unexpected that Ivy Aries would give up early, ruining her plans. However, her expression froze at this moment, looking at Natalya standing in front of her as her aura towered over hers, completely suppressing hers.

Frost was quickly encasing her robe. She was unable to use soul suppression in the slightest as Natalya's soul was deeply guarded. Unable to calm herself, she staggered and fell on her butt mid-air, trembling underneath Natalya's sharp gaze.

"You dare such a powerful spirit formation against me? Do you realize the consequences of your actions?"

Threelotus hurriedly nodded her head as she changed her position and knelt, lowering her head.

She didn't dare give up, afraid that she would be implicated later. No matter what, Natalya was still the Emperor of Death's second wife. There was no escape for her.

However, Threelotus blushed heavily, feeling ashamed. She couldn't believe that she was being bullied by a woman below fifty years old.

She was a Soul King who garnered immense respect and reverence and even fear but in front of this younger genius, she was like a calf. In front of the lioness protected by the lion king, she could only bow her head.

"Don't worry. Your cultivation journey doesn't end here for you to look this defeated. You'll reach greater heights as long as you are loyal to the Palace Master."

Natalya sent a soul transmission as she reached a hand out to Threelotus, causing the latter's to heart to skip a beat. She raised her head while her eyes seemed to brighten up a bit, not expecting Natalya to be kind. After all, what could she expect from a woman who pursued the path of extreme ice.

Nonetheless, she slowly raised her hand with a bit of doubt, afraid that she would be frozen upon contact but that didn't happen.

Clasping Natalya's hand, she stood up.

"Thank you, Second Palace Mistress."

"…"

It was Natalya's turn to blush as she couldn't digest being called like that. Nonetheless, she felt like she needed to play that part since she was Davis's second wife.

"Now admit defeat or I'm going to freeze you to death."

"Ah, yes!~"

Threelotus hurriedly announced her surrender, causing some people to laugh. However, the majority didn't feel that way.

There was some kind of exasperated and helpless emotion in their hearts. It was time for young geniuses to arise, yes. However, for young geniuses to surpass them already, what kind of notion was this?

Many felt stifled enough to die while watching these unknown geniuses rise above them.

Sometimes, geniuses end up hitting a blockade in their cultivation journey and they were all like that in their early years. 

When the Starnova Emperor had been in the Law Sea Stage, he had been a genius who created a perfect Vast Sea but when he entered the Law Rune Stage, that genius talent of his that he had been prideful of wasn't able to keep up, nor could he obtain relevant resources, causing him to be unable to create a similar fourth level uniqueness like the Formidable Rune. Instead, he ended up creating a third level Magnificent Rune that raised his prowess ever so slightly after reaching the Law Rune Stage, only a bit better than having a hundred kilometer Vast Sea.

His prowess had increased from High-Level Law Rune Stage to mid High-Level Law Rune Stage. 

The only thing that truly increased was his ability to have greater reserves of energy and unleash a powerful rune that would further raise his prowess.

However, once he reached the Peak-Level Law Rune Stage, he was only able to battle a level above because the levels above it were steeper than the four levels of Ninth Stage. Each level after Peak-Level Ninth Stage was a deep gash that people wouldn't be easily able to cross.

The Mandate Emperor and the Vast Sky Emperor were geniuses of their own generations and similarly created Magnificent Runes, but unlike him, their quality of their runes were greater, allowing them to fight half a level above him. With their Legacy Artifacts, they were able to increase their strength to one more level but that was it but he still wasn't capable of reaching their prowess.

Every manifestation, domain, sea and rune had five levels.

If creating a fifth level Imposing Rune's difficulty was said to be hundred percent, then creating an Immeasurable Sea's difficulty would be ten percent. As for creating a Perfect Domain's difficulty, that could be attributed to one percent. 

That's why, they didn't expect an era-shaking genius to appear under the Emperor of Death's wings again. When Natalya steps into the Law Rune Stage, it was of little doubt to them that she would at least create a Formidable Rune even if she stopped learning and comprehending laws. If she has the same determination, then chances are more likely she would create a Imposing Rune, absolutely toppling their imaginations and hearts.

Now they were unable to be like this Natalya whose prowess could possibly exceed them if she breaks through one more time. When she reaches the Peak-Level Law Rune Stage, her prowess will reach three levels above, which was shocking to them!

They couldn't help but inwardly cry that it was truly a new era.

However, what was worse was that such a beautiful and powerful swan was completely in love with the Emperor of Death. Those intensely jealous and envious couldn't help but curse, wondering what's so special about him when he was just powerful while his character was dubious, forgetting the fact that his women were more of less nurtured with his resources.

Threelotus had returned to the Soul Palace's seating area was Natalya was hugging Davis, wanting to be praised by him. 

She explained that her yin fusion lotus was her year's work of hard work. After all, it was not easy to fuse two energies together, causing Davis to pat her head till she was satisfied.

However, Natalya also learned that Ivy Aries was Old Man Garvin's descendant, causing her to be shocked.

Learning of the details, she suddenly couldn't help but ask.

"Do you want me to infiltrate the Jade Lotus Valley?"

Davis blinked in shock, "What are you saying?"

"I want to be useful to you." Natalya shook his arm, "It's only a bit of separation and I'm sure everyone will only take this me making an acquaintance with Ivy Aries as I've fought her and I can also use this chance to probe her reaction to our cause."

Davis became flabbergasted. His Natalya actually wanted to leave his side by her own volition? Although he was sad, he was glad that she was finally willing to step out and see the world. If she just remained by his side, waiting for him all the time, he would inevitably feel guilty.

As long as Natalya had others to protect, like her little sister Fiora, he knew that she wouldn't take her life foolishly if anything were to happen to him.

Nonetheless, it would be best if Natalya could make acquaintances with Ivy Aries and successfully win over her to their side. This way, Old Man Garvin's soul would be able to rejoice.

"You can't do this by yourself. Everyone will condemn you and I don't want to see that as it makes me angry. Let me do it." Natalya further tried to convince while having a adorable pout on her face.

"Alright, fine."

Davis nodded, causing her eyes to turn bright and she deeply smiled.

On the other hand, Davis wasn't worried about Natalya's safety. The only ones who could harm her were probably the Four Great Righteous Sect Leaders. As for the Jade Lotus Valley, they could forgot about harming Natalya. After all, if Natalya wanted to kill, there was no stopping her, especially with her yin fusion energy.

Before, he hadn't thought much of the Forsaken Yin Lotus Manual but after Natalya showcased its prowess, he realized that it was a dreadful manual, almost as if its used for slaughtering. Nonetheless, there was also Iesha. Her cultivation had also grown a lot, making her capable of protecting Natalya.

However, Natalya quickly didn't go. She waited for some time to pass so that she doesn't become suspicious while battles took place.

Finally, one of their names popped up again. Instantly, everyone rejoiced and even Natalya felt that she shouldn't go to the Jade Lotus Valley's seating area but watch the battle. However, their expressions froze upon seeing that it was not only a single name.

[Davis Alstreim]

[Itaran Ike]

[Bylai Zlatan]

Davis and Bylai slowly turned to look at each other, their eyes blinking with visible shock.
