Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1951: Yin Fusion

The one who screamed was the Jade Lotus Valley's Valley Master. She instantly wanted to tell Ivy Aries to watch out but couldn't as the spatial formation blocked communication. However, her cry cautioned many people of the Greater Law known as Yin Fusion.

Ice Laws and Yin Laws were both Greater Laws. However, they were both in the lower stratum of Greater Laws. As for Yin Fusion Laws, it was in the higher stratum of Greater Laws. Even Space Laws were said to be in the mid stratum of Greater Laws, so one could see the difficulty of comprehending Yin Fusion with any law, much less Ice Laws.

Sometimes, Yin Fusion Laws were also said to be in the realm of Supreme Laws. After all, Yin Laws could be said to be all-encompassing, intertwining with many seas of laws. As long as one could fuse other laws with Yin Laws, it would allow them to reach greater heights, even more than Yin Fusion with Ice Laws.

The same could be said about Yang Fusion Laws.

However, who in the Fifty-Two Territories were capable of such a feat when they were not even capable of fusing Yin Laws and Ice Laws? Even if they were capable, their Yin Fusion Laws merely ended in their infancy. Was there someone like Natalya who unleashed Yin Fusion Laws in the Peak-Level of Eighth Stage with the prowess of Peak-Level Ninth Stage?

Perhaps, there might be no one who even came close to her in their knowledge. After all, fusion wasn't a simple matter of using two energies together. Anyone could achieve that as long as they had two hands and a skillful energy flow. Fusion meant merging two different energies, making them undergo a qualitative change.

Such intricate changes would either cause the meridians to explode or shatter if one did it wrongly, but for someone as young as Natalya to be capable of something like that, their horizons were flipped as they saw her icy-blue lotus shining with a cerulean light, making its way towards Ivy Aries.

Ivy Aries's scalp turned numb upon witnessing the blooming of that small lotus. However, she was an expert in her own right and had her own prideful confidence. Hearing Natalya's challenge to her prowess of the unique physique, she was provoked and clasped her hands, forming a seal.

"Deep Sea Devouring Lotus~"

It was as though a melodious tone echoed from the deep ocean, causing the towering azure lotus to move forwards. It clashed with the icy blue lotus, but the latter was like a sponge. Instead of shattering or collapsing, it shoved its way in with incomparable yin energy and began turning everything into ice.

The azure water inside the towering azure lotus rapidly revolved as though seeking to devour it, but the yin fusion energy was pervasive and difficult to take control of or even erase.

Ivy Aries's expression changed at this moment.

The azure whirlpool manifestation behind Ivy Aries rumbled with greater intensity, seeking to devour it into its energy. However…

*Pui!~*

Ivy Aries spat a mouthful of blood. Her expression became pale, and her body shuddered ever so lightly. Her dark green robe and blue hair became covered in frost. It was unknown if she was shivering from the cold or received some injury, but clearly, she was unable to absorb the fusion of Ice Laws and Yin Laws even with her World Devouring Water Physique, receiving a backlash.

Her aura became unstable, and subsequently, the towering azure lotus could no longer contend against the yin fusion lotus, becoming frozen chill.

The next moment, it shattered, causing countless pieces of icy shards to fall.

However, there was still a tiny cerulean lotus left in between them, causing Ivy Aries to tremble.

The yin fusion lotus had survived while her azure lotus had broken. She simultaneously felt the foreboding feeling of grave danger if it were to approach her.

The next moment, she sighed.

"Lady Natalya's talent truly leaves someone like me in the dust. I am unable to win against you, so I admit defeat."

Ivy Aries surrendered as she clasped her hands and bowed in respect, causing countless people's jaws to drop.

Natalya's mouth went agape, wanting to say something. However, she closed her mouth and similarly sighed.

"I would've liked to see more of your Jade Lotus Valley's techniques, but I guess that's not possible anymore. Well met."

She clasped her hands back, partly exasperated and partly helpless.

Perhaps, if she hadn't stubbornly challenged Ivy Aries. she wouldn't have forced herself to absorb her attack. Instead, she could've tried to endure it and continued battling. It wasn't her intent to make Ivy Aries admit defeat so early as she wanted to enjoy the battle with a peak genius.

It was rare to get matched with top experts.

In truth, Ivy Aries had not truly lost. All she had to do was sacrifice her blood essence. But, she was unwilling to use her blood essence to strengthen herself during the devouring. Otherwise, she knew for a fact that she would be able to refine yin fusion energy.

However, her precious blood essence was more difficult to recover considering she possessed the World Devouring Water Body. She didn't want to waste her future for a moment's glory. Moreover, yin fusion energy had invaded her dantian since the World Devouring Water Body was unable to completely refine it. If it weren't for this yin fusion energy wreaking havoc in her dantian, she wouldn't have surrendered so easily, not to mention that she couldn't expose this weakness.

She was slightly injured, but she was confident she could destroy this strand of yin fusion energy within ten seconds if no one disturbed her.

But it wasn't like there were people who could use Yin Fusion Laws or similar laws like Natalya, so she didn't mind about this weakness much as there were only a few monsters like Natalya who could exploit it.

Nonetheless, failing the challenge that Natalya had set up for her, she felt that it was graceful to admit defeat instead of miserably struggling. She understood that she wasn't a match for Natalya at a glance when she witnessed the Yin Fusion Laws, and since her future was brighter than many others, she didn't want to show her trump cards as it pertains to her survival.

Still, she was a bit disappointed.

She was stronger than the Dragon Queens. She was more powerful than the majority of geniuses. She was already as strong as her Valley Master and Ancestors, so the better she concealed herself, the better the chances of her ascending without meeting a tragic fate.

After seeing the Emperor of Death, Natalya, and the dark horse, she doubted her chances of entering into the Top Three but never did she think that she would be so unlucky to meet Natalya at the second round. Although she entered with a burst of confidence, reality still did strike her back and humbled her, but she didn't give up yet.

Ivy Aries's figure appeared outside the spatial formation as she was sent out, her back straight while her gaze was clear. It seemed that she wasn't rattled by this defeat like the other geniuses experienced today.

In the northern hemisphere, the grave looks of the Four Great Righteous Sect Leaders faded, replaced with a kind of complex emotion that one couldn't describe.

Just now, they had sensed that cerulean lotus's prowess had slightly reached their own level. Although it was just a spark, it had still reached their level, practically dumbfounding them. If it had displayed its prowess, perhaps Ivy Aries would be gravely injured, but clearly, Natalya had held back.

They truly didn't know what to think of this woman who hadn't condensed a perfect Immeasurable Sea yet displayed such prowess.

Achieving true perfection in Immeasurable Sea, that is, condensing a hundred and fifty-kilometer sea, would mean that their prowess would reach a level above Peak-Level Law Rune Stage.

That was what Davis accomplished, but many people still thought that he was at the level of Natalya and the other two geniuses.

But at this moment, Natalya may or may not have reached Davis's level at this particular moment upon unleashing the yin fusion technique, her prowess becoming almost equal to Starnova Emperor!

Not only did many of the powerhouses feel like they had eaten shit to see a young genius crossing so many levels that made them feel shame, but the Starnova Emperor's expression was also unsightly. Although this burst of energy from Natalya indicated that it was just for a few moments and he could still destroy it while unleashing a technique, it meant that even someone extra under the Emperor of Death caught up to him while still in the realm of Eighth Stage.

What kind of farfetched notion was this…?

Earth Dragon Queen Isabella was said to be an immortal inheritor, so it could be said to be inevitable that she could match their prowess while at Low-Level Ninth Stage but who exactly was this woman!? She could almost reach their level when she is still at the Eighth Stage while depending upon her yin fusion technique which made them feel a true chill.
