Divine Emperor of Death

While the crowd watched Davis with agape mouths, the Ninth Stage Powerhouses of the Nine Western Territories were expecting this scenario.

They wondered what kind of prowess he possessed for him to court both Sophie and Niera while also seemingly succeeding in it with the way they acted. They already knew that Alstreim Family women were similar to Falling Snow Sect and Mystic Ice Sect women because they favor monogamy over polygamous relationships, so it rather came off as a huge surprise for them to see two women of that same family stick with him.

Of course, that didn't mean that they denied polygamous relationships. It was just, who didn't want their counterpart to be special only to them? Especially, women who had extreme talent will not lay down on the bed with other women, so how could it be possible for him to have them both?

They felt that Davis Alstreim was in the initial stages of courting them and almost succeeded, which meant if they could defeat him here in a battle, that might essentially cripple their affection towards him.

The Dragon Families also felt the same because they had seen many scenarios where the woman would feel unsafe after the person courting them loses and even more so if that person lost miserably. It couldn't be blamed on them because all they needed to live a better life was security which their Dragon Families could provide.

They felt that it should be the same in this scenario.

Fleander Zlatan had his eyes narrowed with a bit of trepidation as he certainly was not a match for this person in Body Tempering Cultivation.

"I seem to recall that I didn't challenge you."

Davis stopped at the edge of the battle platform.

"In case you forgot or weren't paying attention, challenges can only be made to powers, and that power chooses to pick who fights the challenger. I can do anything I want for the Alstreim Family, right? Ancestor?"

"Yes."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's voice echoed with confidence, causing Fleander Zlatan's brows to twitch.

Was there such a rule? He truly wasn't paying attention to these lowlifes until he saw Sophie use her Perfect Domain. Only then did he even take an interest in watching the battles.

Davis couldn't help but scoff.

"Don't worry. I wouldn't use my Body Tempering Cultivation against your weak Body Tempering Cultivation. I wouldn't want to offend the Zlatan Family again like when I slapped Raeburn Zlatan, would I?"

He chuckled while a vein erupted on Fleander Zlatan's forehead.

This matter made Raeburn Zlatan become a laughing stock because his words were returned right back at him, but it also caused the Zlatan Family to lose face.

Fleander Zlatan forcefully smiled as he chuckled.

"Heh, it seems like you're courting both Sophie Alstreim and Niera Alstreim. Such talents will tolerate you less because you already have two wives. Are you afraid someone else might take one of them away from you?"

Hearing his taunt, Davis felt his eyes becoming heavy in tiredness.

"You Dragon Families think targeting the women of others is funny? I wonder what it would be like if I or someone else targeted your Zlatan Family's Bylai Zlatan?"

"Impudent!"

Fleander Zlatan's expression fell as he bellowed and even Thorus Zlatan's expression became colder.

No one should insult their Young Mistress.

*Woah!~*

The crowd became dumbfounded in abuzz.

This Davis Alstreim dared to threaten the Dragon Families for the second time! Although this was targeted towards the Zlatan Family, it was still disrespectful to them all.

There was a reason they were called the Four Dragon Families like the Four Great Righteous Sects. Although the Dragon Families may fight internally, when it comes to outsiders, they would unite because their survival was a necessity and a unifying factor.

Inter-marriage was also common between them, but once the groom or bride was exchanged, they could only have minimal contact with their former family. This also helped them achieve greater heights while diversifying their talents. However, their main specialization stayed at the top, regardless of the inter-marriage, because they made sure to only allow branch members to inter-marry.

The main family was forbidden to do so because they have to maintain the purity of their blood.

Nevertheless, hearing everyone starting to talk about Bylai Zlatan in the crowd, Fleander Zlatan snapped at Davis.

"What do you know about our Zlatan Family's future Dragon Queen Bylai Zlatan? Do you seriously think your Mistress can compare to her? Even if you have a Perfect Domain, you still can't compare to our Young Mistress!"

"Oh really?" Davis raised his brows, "I heard that she had only comprehended Level Eight Earth Intent when she stepped into the Martial Sage Stage at a 'young age' of two hundred and fifty-six years old. Is that supposed to be grand?"

"Heh!" Fleander Zlatan sneered, "You are not wrong, but you're also extremely incorrect. The only reason Young Mistress had spent so much time to reach the Martial Sage Stage is that she used that time to make her foundation reach the realm of perfection."

Davis's eyes widened.

"Perfect Foundation...?"

"Yes!" Looking at Davis's shocked expression, Fleander Zlatan seemed to crave it, "The likes of you can't comprehend her greatness! Not only did she cause such a commotion that was suppressed before being later confirmed as the truth, but she had also reached the Peak-Level of Law Sea Stage while conjuring a Vast Sea within a few short years! Before that, she created a Perfect Domain that was three thousand and eight hundred meters wide in radius! She's one of the very few who could stand tall in the Large-Sized Territories even surpassing our Young Master!"

Everyone trembled as they heard the word Vast Sea.

They were already taken aback by the term Perfect Foundation which left them feeling as if they were going to faint, but adding on top the Vast Sea for Law Sea Stage Cultivation, wasn't that the fourth level of creating a sea? It made their minds tremble more in incredulity, making them feel like their minds were going to explode.

They couldn't help but gulp while Fleander Zlatan seemed to be willing to shed more light even though he seemed a bit fanatic and gasping for breath.

"How, you ask!? That's because, within a few months of entering the Martial Sage Stage, her law intent climbed to Abstruse Intents in both Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation, but you wouldn't understand such intricacies, would you?"

He scoffed, looking at Davis with a gaze full of contempt.

Thorus Zlatan nodded his head in satisfaction. He felt that they must preach to these lowly people who had their egos inflated just by a few Perfect Domains appearing.

So what?

Does that make them stronger than their Dragon Families? In their lifetime, they had so many Perfect Domains but how many could survive the tempering of the cultivation world? They were all ambitious people but ambitious people tend to lose their lives more than cowardly people who stayed in one place.

'How fallible...' He couldn't help but sneer at all of them.

On the other hand, Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression became a bit convoluted.

The All-Seeing Towers had provided him with Bylai Zlatan's details that gave Davis this knowledge. However, it seemed like the story was different, no, rather outdated.

Could it be that to buy that kind of specific information, he had to spend more wealth?

Indeed, he had to spend a lot to buy this kind of detailed information.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim was investigating most Dragon Families to check Isabella's background in the past, but he had just obtained a general piece of information on Bylai Zlatan and not the full-fledged information about her, which would cost more than what he used to investigate Isabella's background.

He couldn't have afforded such an expense if it were just for knowing about Bylai Zlatan, but knowing that it cost a loss of face for Davis at this moment, he felt dejected.

However, Davis wasn't angered. He was just purely surprised as he didn't think that Bylai Zlatan would have achieved such greatness. If she had reached the realm of perfection, then taking that long made sense for a character of her level.

'No freaking wonder the whole family is lusting after her...'

He only felt like laughing, but it suddenly turned into stifling anger.

Such a family wanted his Niera and Sophie?

Even their own Young Mistress sounded like she didn't have options or could make her own decisions, so what if they brought Sophie and Niera to their power? Wouldn't they be married off as soon as they were brought?

"Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, the reason for these battles is entertainment, right?

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, who was floating above the battle platform all this while, suddenly became taken aback by this random question, but he still managed to answer.

"Yes..."

"Then wait for some time..."

Davis nodded before he closed his eyes.

Everyone wondered what he was doing before they saw fire-attribute energy undulations radiate from him. The undulations seamlessly trembled, similar to undulations people emit when breaking through.

The people who witnessed his actions were thoroughly dumbfounded.

This... he was having a breakthrough at this moment? In front of thousands of people who could intentionally disturb him!?
