Chapter 2227: Clash Between A Mortal And Anlmmortal

The Dark Ironroar Palace’s Immortal could not believe Davis’s words.

It was only a short time from the time he left the Blood Reaper Underworld’s side, being assured that the other party would be at least able to escape, albeit miserably, but if he didn’t escape, then that meant the Jade Lotus Valley’s Immortal had an unperfected Mortal Immortal Vessel just like him.

To create a perfected foundation, one should’ve reached Peak-Level Ninth Stage in all three cultivations before breaking through to the Immortal Foundation Stage. That was called the true or perfected Mortal Immortal Vessel, a vessel that allows their prowess to reach a level higher.

For those who didn’t reach the Peak-Level Ninth Stage in all three cultivations, it couldn’t be said to be a perfected Mortal Immortal Vessel. Instead, their Mortal Immortal Vessels would only be able to provide them with prowess that’s half a level higher, which was why it was called unperfected.

If one didn’t reach the Ninth Stage in all three cultivations but only one cultivation system when they turn into an immortal, then their Immortal Vessel would crack the moment it was formed, becoming a Cracked Immortal Vessel that’s no different than an Immortal Vessel that has been crippled.

In that case, not only would they not have an increase in prowess, but they would’ve actually suffered a decrease in prowess, their prowess ranging on or between the eighth level and the ninth level of the Ninth Stage when they’re a Level One Immortal Foundation Cultivator, not mention that they wouldn’t be able to reach a higher stage.

In the same way, if the perfected Mortal Immortal Vessel that provides a prowess that’s a level higher was cracked, then restoring it would only restore half the prowess.

The Immortal Vessel was like glass. The outer layer could be redeemable but internally broken forever.

In that case, how could a Cracked Mortal Immortal Vessel be restored to a working state? The only way is to create an Earth Immortal Vessel, a higher variant of the Immortal Vessel, its prowess far exceeding what was given by the Mortal Immortal Vessel.

That’s why he looked down on most immortals as they were unable to match the natural gap between him and themselves and underestimated Jade Lotus Valley’s Immortal as he did for Founder Alstreim Windstorm, who obviously didn’t seem to have perfected his cultivation when becoming an immortal nor an unperfected one but just an average Mortal Immortal Vessel that doesn’t provide any increase in prowess but could allow them to safely say that they have truly stepped into the immortal level.

Similarly, he knew that the Blood Reaper Underworld and Infernal Lightning Palace’s Immortals possessed an average Mortal Immortal Vessel instead of Cracked Immortal Vessels, so his thoughts were that they would be able to hold out but who knew that they would quickly fall?

Even if he wanted to believe otherwise, the strands of heavenly lightning arcing in front of him and constantly having him retreat changed his mind.

*Boom!~*

A dark metallic wavy fold appeared, causing the heavenly lightning that struck to be passed through to another metallic fold that he stacked around him.

Davis’s eyes narrowed in response, seeing that his heavenly lightning was being weakened by being proliferated to other energy defensive techniques, in essence, causing the damage he was inflicting to be reduced in its entirety.

The eyes of the other immortals squinted in shock and scrutiny, especially Founder Alstreim Windstorm, who quickly understood what was happening.

Davis’s heavenly lightning suppressed the Infernal Lightning Palace’s infernal lightning, but at the same time, metal was, in truth, both weak and not weak against lightning.

It was only weak when the lightning managed to pierce through the outer layer of their metallic defense but to achieve that feat was almost impossible unless the lightning user was of higher prowess.

Founder Alstreim Windstorm couldn’t help but feel worried, his nerves remaining taut to react at any time. The others also reacted the same after understanding, although they began to doubt if he even needed help in the first place.

However, he was still a mortal. How long could his energy last to be churning out these powerful attacks?

*Bang!~* *Bang!~* *Bang!~*

The sound of heavenly lightning striking the dark metallic folds and repeatedly averted gave them mini-heart attacks as they didn’t know when Davis would run out of energy.

*Bzzz!~* ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ. ᴄᴏᴍ

A spear made up of heavenly lightning struck the dark metallic folds that were layered by five times. It destroyed three of them, but two of the wavy metallic folds still survived the piercing prowess of his heavenly lightning.

Just as Davis was about to use another attack to get around it, the wavy dark metallic fold wobbled like it was going to collapse yet revealed the masked face of Dark Ironroar Palace’s Immortal, his crimson jaws wide with a dark hue gathering towards the center.

*Roar!!!~*

A resounding sound along with a ray of dark metallic light shot towards Davis with an insane speed, engulfing him within an instant as it blasted his image into nothingness. However, the Dark Ironroar Palace’s Immortal raised his head as his crimson eyes flashed with an incredulous light, looking at the pair of dark crimson flame wisps on his legs burning along with the crackling black-silver lightning.

Just now, the Emperor of Death’s explosive speed had crazily risen that he even failed to damage him even while he was only a few meters away.

However, as he witnessed the Emperor of Death rush above and flip his body, his body becoming pointed towards him like an arrow that was strung on the bow, ready to be unleashed; not only did he feel awe, but his scalp went numb.

“…!”

*Puchi!~*

Davis rushed past the Dark Ironroar Palace’s Immortal as a ray of black-crimson light with a silverish hue pierced through his defense, causing a big hole to be thrust in the wavy dark metallic folds.

The Dark Ironroar Palace’s Immortal flinched, but without even turning to look at what happened, he rushed into the distance, actually escaping without looking back.

Davis turned around and looked at the arm that seemed to be turning into ashes as heavenly lightning, and heavenly flames burned and caused it to disintegrate into ashes. His expression couldn’t help but have some irritation that he missed while trying to target the other party’s Immortal Vessel.

However, turning to look at the fleeing figure, who had an entire limb missing from the right side of his neck to the right side of his mid-rib, his expression eased.

“Don’t run after claiming that I foolishly tried to challenge an immortal to a battle of life and death. Today, I will claim your life, as I said. There’s no escape, little masked immortal.”

Davis’s voice lazily resounded, but the Dark Ironroar Palace’s Immortal was having none of it despite the blatant provocation as he fled.

What was that just now!?

Heavenly lightning on top of heavenly flames!? How could such a being like him exist!?

Not only had the Emperor of Death reached his prowess through the usage of these two heavenly factors, but those heavenly factors also suppressed his aura and battle spirit, disallowing him to use his full prowess.

Nonetheless, even without the Emperor of Death having essentially surpassed his prowess, he would be stupid to remain here and battle it out because there were also three righteous path immortals surrounding him.

If he couldn’t make his escape, then he really would find himself dead. This very thought of arriving at a desolate place where he could rule to heart’s content yet was finding himself fleeing was pathetic beyond comparison, feeling his will wither, but since he knew he was going to die if he stayed, he unhesitatingly escaped!

‘I must get to the spatial crack in the Poison Rift Valley…!’

Just as he fled in hopes to the Blooming Passion Abode Territory and other Territories before finally making it to the Poison Rift Valley to escape through the spatial crack he had emerged from, a black-crimson figure glittering with a silverish ember rushed past him, arriving before him as it blocked its path.

“Emperor of Death…!”

The Dark Ironroar Palace’s Immortal hissed through his teeth as his heart skipped a beat, never having expected that his flying speed would also overwhelm his own, feeling that he was about to go insane. However, he didn’t stop and gathered his energy, a dark metallic light revolving around him as it centered in front of his body, turning into a sharp-edged conical dense and dark metal that began to spin at an insane speed.

“Dark Drill Destruction Roar!”

Davis felt enormously pressured under the drilling menace heading towards him, its unabated spinning causing waves of sound that threatened to weaken his senses. However, he raised both of his hands and cupped them together, the heavenly lightning on his left and heavenly flames on his right combining to form a terrifying glint of black-crimson strands of silverish ember that floated in front of him.

*Swoosh!~*

It rushed to the dark drill as space visibly trembled, striking its center before it burst into a massive explosion that engulfed the Dark Ironroar Palace’s Immortal!

The clash of their attacks collapsed the very part of that space, causing Davis to retreat, his sapphire eyes reflecting the sheer magnitude of the destruction covering thirty kilometers of airspace, just for a tiny, weeny heavenly lightning and heavenly flame wisp combined.
