Divine Emperor of Death

Davis's eyes twitched as he read the history and the description of the Low-Level King Grade Lightning Elemental, Derelict Extinction Lightning, but he felt that it was perfect for his needs.

'A lightning that has the properties of creating an illusion on top of possessing the property of extinction...'

The only problem is that the will of the Lightning Elemental is still alive. It made him not able to absorb it as that would be suicidal since the Derelict Extinction Lightning's will is still alive.

In the past, his paternal grandfather had erased the will of the Low-Level Sky Grade Lightning Elemental, Fallen Extinction Lightning before dying but now, all three Spirit Attribute Sources had their wills alive.

Davis had a look in his face that said he wasn't amused.

'Is the Alstreim Family's ancestor a lazy bum? How can he be so irresponsible?'

The only redeeming point is that they should be weak, considering that they didn't have time or the resources to replenish their energy since they were sealed.

"Its Will is still alive... Are you going to be fine?" Princess Isabella moved her lips and expressed her worry as she walked towards him.

She knew that Davis was going to be absorbing one of these Lightning Elemental because he had told her so, but she didn't expect the Will of the Spirit Attribute Source to be still alive.

Normally, the Will of a Spirit Attribute Source is erased with the help of using soul force in most cases since it's the most effective method. However, it is equally dangerous since the Will of the Spirit Attribute Source can equally counterattack the person who is trying to erase its will.

After all to preserve its energy body from fading while erasing its will requires the soul force of the attacker to make contact with the will of the Spirit Attribute Source. This essentially forms a two-way line that connects the attacker and the victim, making them equally vulnerable as long as they possessed the same soul strength.

So many people who didn't have a strong and suitable Soul Forging Cultivation will starve, undernourish, weaken and exhaust the Spirit Attribute Source by sealing their being and isolating them from heaven and earth energy before using their soul force little by little to erode its Will!

Princess Isabella was clear on this point since the First Prince of the Ruth Empire and her Royal Father both possessed Earth Essences! It was way before she became famous before she completed the King Grade Trial and the Ruth Empire did not possess anymore Earth Essences, so she did not find it in her heart to blame her Empire.

Perhaps this was also one of the reasons her royal father solely and secretly decided to give the Throne of the Ruth Empire to her that had followed the pattern of patriarchal rule since the Ruth Empire was founded. It mostly had to do with their women not being strong and unable to reach the heights of what their men achieved but also had to do with the men suppressing the women at some points.

"I'm eighty percent sure that I'll be fine but if you are there with me, aiding me in absorbing it, then I'm ninety-nine percent sure that I'll make the Derelict Extinction Lightning mine." Davis pursed his lips and extended his hand.

Princess Isabella widened her lips feeling heartened, "I'll aid you~"

She grasped his hand and felt the warmth in it while looking at his sapphire eyes with a smitten look in her eyes.

Davis felt that he wasn't far from falling in love with Princess Isabella either. They both mutually liked each other, hence, it was only a matter of time before they both became smitten with each other and cross the line.

Thinking that he would ruin this place if he were to absorb the Derelict Extinction Lightning, Davis led her to a new building and turned it into a spacious cultivation chamber.

Needless to say, he scrapped most of the inner walls, halls and turned it into one big spacious building that fit the requirements of a cultivation chamber in an hour. To his surprise, Princess Isabella helped as well.

He set up the formations and finally brought out the golden container before taking out a plate that seemed to correspond to the sealing formation of the container.

He used his soul force to activate the formation core and the sealing formation that was active, became silent.

It was eerily silent, making them confused after a few seconds.

*Bzzzz!~*

Abruptly thunder crackled as black lightning erupted from the golden container! The flash of black lights encasing the golden shade of the container produced a bright color that almost made their eyes narrow into tiny slits.

"Heh, it's a hasty one, isn't it?" Davis commented as he chuckled. 

Princess Isabella just giggled as she noticed the arcs of black lightning land beside her feet.

Needless to say, both of them were unfazed by the sudden eruption. If it were Evelynn or Natalya here, they would've gotten nervous or even scared by the sudden outburst of the black lightning.

Davis activated the formation core once again since he could feel that it had three layers of activation. He activated the second layer of the formation core and the four sides of the container actually separated from the edges and drew open.

*Bzz!~*

And the moment it did, numerous black lightning arcs instantly flew out of the openings as it became intense! It was as if the Lightning Elemental wanted to showcase its strength and wanted no one to near it.

*Eeeeeerh!!!!*

With an irregular ball-shaped black body that had millions of minute black arcs of lightning dancing around it like it was the embodiment of destruction, the Derelict Extinction Lightning let out a screech as it threatened!

Davis and Princess Isabella looked at it with wide and curious eyes. It was probably their first time looking at a Spirit Attribute Source that still possessed a will.

"The Lightning Elemental is aware of its fate. It's just displaying its last struggle... Sigh..." Princess Isabella couldn't help but sigh for its fate.

Unfortunately, since they could not see eye to eye, they were never bound to be able to understand each other. At least, she didn't feel like even trying and wasting her time as she felt the end result would be the same.

Spirit Attribute Sources wreaked havoc and took human and magical beast lives, even playing with the lives of other races like an innocent child destroying its toys.

They were the same as any wild magical beasts, a threat to humanity!

But they also rarely left their territories, the territories in which they were born in or migrated due to rich attribute heaven and earth energy that attracted them.

So, it was also partly the human's fault in attracting or troubling them, after all, Spirit Attribute Sources were heavily beneficial to humans!

However, Davis didn't see Spirit Attribute Sources like that since he felt that they might be tameable, just like magical beasts. One should not forget that magical beasts can also tame humans by utterly humiliating them, perhaps even making humans livestock in the worst-case scenario.

Davis had heard about these incidents before but never seen it, nonetheless, he rubbed his chin and pondered on the two choices placed in front of him.

Either he could erase the Derelict Extinction Lightning's Will and completely make the Lightning Elemental his and absorb its power, or he could convince it to become his servant, becoming its master.

Both had their positives and negatives.

Erasing its Will does significant damage to its spirit sea, the place where its Will exists so as an end result, the comprehension he obtained would really drop even if he absorbed it completely and digested.

However, letting the Will live and coexist within his dantian or his Soul Sea will let him be able to actively comprehend its properties and laws, more than it could ever provide by having its Will exterminated. Plus, as long as the Lightning Elemental was subservient to him, it would be able to grow along with him like a parasite.

Nevertheless, which Spirit Attribute Source liked to make itself subservient? Most Spirit Attribute Sources which actually consented to become servants to their masters because their master had special constitutions that attracted them. 

Davis didn't have such a special constitution.

He didn't know how to make it subservient other than engaging in the primitive way of communication!
