Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 834 Broken Bald Tower

Actually, it couldn't be accurately said that way; that Soul Forging Cultivators are the bane of Body Tempering Cultivators.

It should be more like: A cultivator with a Seventh Stage Soul Forging Cultivation is able to suppress even an Eighth Stage Body Tempering Cultivator with a weaker Soul Forging Cultivation. However, that couldn't be said the same about a Seventh Stage Soul Forging Cultivation who faces a Ninth Stage Body Tempering Cultivator with a weak Soul Forging Cultivation.

After all, the difference in their cultivation stage was too vast!

In fact, Body Tempering Cultivators could also one-shot a higher-stage Soul Forging Cultivators! However, that is only if their opponents are pure soul forging cultivators who had weak bodies.

Unfortunately, in this world, those who were able to train their Soul Forging Cultivation have their Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation higher than their Soul Forging Cultivation. So, it was fated that pure Body Tempering Cultivators with a weaker soul would remain vulnerable to Soul Forging Cultivators!

That is why the Grand Elder Rakhgal and Elder Towerfall greatly feared the Conferred Queen's Protector. They deeply feared and was convinced that he was both a Ninth Stage Powerhouse and a Supreme Soul Stage Expert.

'Mhm? They seem intimidated... Good! However, it would be too difficult for me to kill them, and even if Davis or I killed them, even if the Towering Cloud Hall does not hunt us, they will create some problems in the long run.'

'Since Davis and I can't kill with this expert protecting that bald Towerfall, we can instead...' Princess Isabella's eyes imperceptibly flashed.

'So that's why senior was in seclusion. He finally broke through to the Mid-Level Supreme Soul Stage...'

Elder Havle Alstreim mused as he slightly bowed and congratulated.

"Congratulations on breaking through to the Mid-Level Supreme Soul Stage, Senior!"

Grand Elder Rosella and Elder Enye were quick to follow suit, "Congratulations on breaking through to the Mid-Level Supreme Soul Stage, Senior!"

The way Grand Elder Rosella addressed the Conferred Queen's Protector naturally changed from an appreciating 'expert' to a respectful 'senior'.

"Towerfall's crimes do not only include the rampant killing of thousands of people but also in trying to attack a member of a younger generation who did nothing else other than to save her subordinate from the hateful Halifan who did not have the courage to accept his loss." Grand Elder Rosella spoke in favor of the Conferred Queen, causing Grand Elder Rakhgal's expression to change.

'"That's right! This person dared to kill me! Not only did he try to kill me, but he also tried to sneakily kill my precious subordinate after he crippled that core disciple for his transgressions! His crime isn't just killing thousands of innocent people but also trying to kill my precious subordinate and me!"

"If I haven't reached the Martial Sage Stage with the nectar given by my protector, I would've been dead by now!!" Princess Isabella exhaled her anger, her bosoms heaving heavily.

It was partly anger and partly acting, but she was equally infuriated that this Elder Towerfall tried to kill her at that moment. Hence, she had no reservations in killing the other party as well!

Davis's soul force flared like the surge of a volcano, his fists clenching as it trembled, "To have even laid a hand on my Young Mistress, it is blasphemous!"

"Who do you think our family's Young Mistress is!??"

"She is someone who will reach the peak of this world!!! To have even dared to profane her with your dirty hands while battling, you deserve death!!"

Davis unreasonably spoke with an intimidating and deep voice before he raised his hand and pointed towards Elder Towerfall, his soul force spreading like a tsunami before suppressing the souls of the two people from the Towering Cloud Hall!

Soul Suppressing Art!

Grand Elder Rakhgal's expression became aghast as he shot back in an instant! Because he was in front of Elder Towerfall, the finger also pointed in his direction. His body automatically moved as if alarm bells rang out in his mind!

He reappeared fifty kilometers away in the distance and was about to retreat and escape with his tail between his legs, but when he saw that nothing happened while only his soul felt the remnant pressure, he started to regain his calm.

Grand Elder Rosella and Elder Enye stood there like a statue. At this time, even though they felt the boundless soul pressure that wasn't directed at them, the remnant pressure alone left them feeling alarmed. They didn't want to move to grab unwanted attention.

However, on the other hand, Elder Towerfall looked as if he had seen a ghost! The soul pressure that heavily weighed on his Elder Soul Stage Soul was like a mountain! He couldn't even move combined with the amount of fear he felt right now.

He absolutely despaired at this moment, his eyes only witnessing the black eyes of the protector, looking at him as if he were a dead man.

A few seconds passed and finally observing that nothing had happened and he still possessed his life, Elder Towerfall started to breathe again, but each breath he took made his lungs gasp for breath. He was like a mortal who had just drowned in the sea, losing his breath, only to be brought out by a mermaid and saved.

The life he possessed never felt so precious than at this moment!

He quickly kowtowed in midair and let out a cry miserably, "Ahh!! I was wrong! Conferred Queen, please forgive this lowly one! Senior, please forgive this undeserving one!!!"

"Please spare my life!!! Ahhh!!!" He miserably cried like a child, having his will that had been tempered by countless battles broken.

Battling to the death was of no use when the other party was way above his cultivation base! If there was a surface, he would be even willing to break his head!

Will was only a relative concept. In front of absolute power, wills that were greedy and clinging to life were easier to break!

Davis had finally seen that with his own eyes. Elder Seylas, who had begged him in the past to spare his life, was one thing, but Elder Towerfall's cry was truly an eye-opener for him. This scene definitely broadened his horizons and told him that tempered wills could also be broken.

To have an unbreakable will is to care about nothing! Nothing at all!

Reaching such a realm is impossible as long as one is human with emotions!

'Then again... If I hadn't intimidated with both the Soul Suppressing Art and killing intent mixed with death, I wonder if his will would have broken?'

While Davis mused and was low-key waiting for Grand Elder Rakhgal to plead, the latter finally sensed that to save an elder of the Towering Cloud Hall, he must strike while the iron is hot!

"Senior! This junior is aware of the crimes Towerfall committed! I promise in the name of Towering Cloud Hall that he would be locked up in the Dungeon of Repentance for sev- no! Hundred years!"

A High-Level Eighth Stage Expert is too heartbreaking for the power of their level to lose. It wasn't as if all the people in their Towering Cloud Hall took Body Tempering Cultivation as their main. Many were Essence Gathering Cultivators, and those took their Body Tempering Cultivations were very few.

It mostly was because those resources that increased Body Tempering Cultivation were harder to come by, and those who practiced Body Tempering Cultivation more or less gave up halfway due to the immense pain they feel.
