Chapter 2555: Wait! That's Suicide!

Chapter 1221 – Wait! That’s Suicide!

As a prideful Ninth Stage Powerhouse, Mival found it difficult to attach himself as a protector to this person. He felt that it was fine if he became a Protector for the Dragon Queen instead, as her status should be high enough to partially command numerous Ninth Stage Powerhouses while Davis's wasn't even close at the moment.

But that's what the gamble was for since the Dragon Queen would not require him as much as Davis would. This directly translates to higher benefits if Davis manages to become a powerhouse who can then begin to heal ninth-stage powerhouses with his soul force. No matter where he went, numerous powerhouses would invite him to their doors with open arms, but there was also the danger that they might try to trap and make use of him at this moment where he needed protection the most because of his weak cultivation.

'It's either I'm going to lose face for coming under the supervision of a brat and face danger in his stead, or I'm going to win a large number of benefits later…' Mival inwardly nodded his head, 'A gamble indeed…'

Just when he made his decision and knew that Alia and Zanna would follow him no matter where he went, he saw Davis began to use that mysterious life energy again.

Davis saw that his own life-like energy also attracted the luminescent viridian lightning as it flashed down from the Lightning Sea to him. It was the same as the previous iteration where it didn't attract the deadly number of blue-colored bolts of lightning but instead came in few quantities as luminescent viridian lightning bolts began to swirl around him.

He boldly walked towards the Lightning Sea amidst their gaze while Nadia followed him by the side. Just when Mival and the others were wondering what kind of fantasy he would display now with his strange energy, they saw that once he neared the Lightning Sea, the blue-colored strands of lightning bolts touched the luminescent viridian strands of lightning but failed to do anything as they brushed past each other.

However, at this moment, Davis took a step forward, and the luminescent viridian strands of lightning in front of him made the blue-colored lightning strands part like the sea splitting into two sides without damaging the luminescent strands of viridian bolts of lightning!

Davis's expression was filled with smiles as an idea suddenly dawned on him, making him truly wonder what was on the other side of this damned Lightning Sea that did not seem like to allow any kind of person to even dare enter it.

Due to the sheer number of strands that probably numbered over the millions in just this visible surface he could see, even Ninth Stage Powerhouses like Mival chose to stay clear of it lest they get turned into ashes after having their energy depleted when these many blue-colored lightning bolts try to strike them to death!

He only took a moment to make his decision.

"Nadia, hop into my soul sea. We're going to enter…"

Nadia's golden pupils narrowed but looking at the parting blue-colored bolts of lightning; she jumped to his soul sea as her figure turned into a dark flash of light before it entered. She didn't even utter a word of doubt as she had full trust over him.

"Wait! That's suicide!" Alia screamed, and the others weren't fools either.

They could see what he was going to do!

Davis stopped his advance for a moment before he cast his gaze and smiled at them, "Well, if I make it out in one peace, consider my invitation this time in a positive light…"

*Bzzz!~*

More luminescent viridian lightning began to surround him, forming a two-meter wide sphere around his body!

*Whoosh!~*

Davis flew into the Lightning Sea amidst the gazes of Mival and the others. They didn't know what to say as they watched him enter the Lightning Sea at ease with their mouths slightly agape. The astonishment they felt couldn't be described in a few words that in their forty thousand years of roaming these Fifty-Two Territories, they knew this youth had lined himself up with the young elites of the four large Territories!

No, he had exceeded them a bit by learning this fabled Life Law at this young age. In their perspective, as long as he didn't die, he had a boundless future ahead of him, but he just courted death by jumping into the Lightning Sea.

Alia's expression trembled, "It's just a matter of time before his soul force dissipates…"

Mival solemnly nodded his head, "No one probably knows how far he would have to cross in order to reach the other side. Either his soul force dissipates, and he ends up devoured by the massive number of lightning bolts around him, or before that happens, he makes it to the other side safely by the looks of it."

Alia shot a look at him, "Why didn't you stop him!? Can you say for sure that there isn't anything dangerous on the other side? Even if our deal is almost over, he is my…, our benefactor."

Mival blinked before he shook his head, "What if there's his lucky chance to gain resources on the other side? An invaluable land that is full of treasures and perhaps, even heavenly resources like the stone he held? Wouldn't we have stopped him from becoming a even more powerful powerhouse in the future?"

Alia's lips quivered, "But…"

"Alia, every expert has their own path to carve. He might be a fledgling, but he already has the demeanor of a real expert. When he faced us, it was like he feared nothing, or he still had the confidence to escape from us."

"You have measured him to be an expert already?" Alia's eyes widened.

Mival nodded, "At such a young age, he had already reached Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage. Although my words before sound exaggerated, I believe that he indeed has the potential to be an expert among powerhouses, so if he really does come back from this near-death situation, I think we should accept his invitation."

"He said something like that… What exactly does the invitation entail?"

Mival answered Alia's question before she suddenly rejoiced but kept her calm.

"Hahaha!"

Zanna suddenly laughed and asked, "We have been invited so many times by numerous power but were betrayed sooner or later. What makes you two think that he would be any different? Even if it isn't him, do you think the Alstreim Family's Ancestor would stomach our existence? I'm a magical beast, and you're a fey, husband. Keep that in mind…"

Her tone sounded sour as it seethed with disappointment.

"I understand your concern, Zanna, but this time…" Mival's viridian eyes flashed as his furry ears twitched, "I just couldn't help but feel that it might be different."

Zanna's eyes lit up as she heard Mival's speech, "Then I'll follow you no matter where you go!"

"I will too!" Alia echoed, causing Mival to resplendently smile.

"Then we'll wait for Davis Alstreim here for a few years. If he doesn't, well, we have no choice but to abandon his invitation."

Alia and Zanna smiled as they wrapped their soft bodies around as they embraced him tightly. The confidence they had in him was greater than the faith they had in themselves.

How could they have survived forty thousand years for no apparent reason? More than seventy-five percent of this time, they were nothing but peak-level eighth stage experts, and only recently had they become Ninth Stage Powerhouses in this remaining time.

They had seen too much, played a lot, understood when to back out and when to play their cards to strike or escape at the right moment! However, it wasn't as if all the decisions they took would end up correctly, but most of the decisions he took did cause them to be alive all this time, just like how he decided to accept the deal, which now saved his first wife from dying an excruciating death with no hope to find her later.

======

A three-meter wide sphere made up of luminescent viridian lightning bolts in the completely saturated bright Lightning Sea was present. In it, a person casually seemed to make his way around the Lightning Sea as they advanced while blue-colored lightning bolts parted before him.

In contrast, the luminescent viridian lightning bolts kept gathering around him, forming a one-meter thick barrier that did not allow even a strand of blue-colored lightning to harm the person inside!

'Well, the barrier keeps growing… Perhaps, I should lessen the amount I soul force I use to invoke Fallen Heavens's white tendrils…'

Davis mused as the pure white light surrounding him began to fade a bit. In reaction to that, the luminescent viridian lightning bolts' outer layer began to separate from him. Noticing this quickly, he maintained his current pace and kept the luminescent viridian lightning bolts swirling around him for stable protection in this Lightning Sea.

'Mhmm… I can't control these luminescent viridian lightning bolts, but I can make them surround me. This should be sufficient to protect my body and soul until I can reach the other side.'

Davis grinned as he inwardly assured Nadia as well. He wasn't worried about not making it to the other side as he possessed more significant soul force reserves with many soul essences still with him to replenish his soul force.

Fuel wasn't the problem at the moment for him, not until he was trapped in a distorted spatial area, but he doubted a spatial distortion could exist here where lightning was everywhere, not even leaving an inch of space for anything to survive.

Even if spatial distortion existed, he felt that it wouldn't be a maze but a literal gateway to death where if he gets near one, he might probably be pulled into the void. However, he doubted these lightning bolts that didn't discharge their lightning was anywhere near generating spatial distortions that could lead to the empty void.

As Davis advanced, five minutes hadn't even passed, but he came to a sudden stop!

'You're kidding, right…?'

The space in front of him was filled with ninth stage lightning bolts, and even the luminescent viridian lightning bolts were of the ninth stage, causing him to endlessly sweat in hesitation as his scalp tingled! Just the sheer presence of it left him reeling with fear.

He might be able to kill living beings at the Ninth Stage, but what use was the current Fallen Heaven and him in front of a natural disaster such as this? Both of them couldn't defend against natural formations like this Lightning Sea, and Davis also knew that was his weakness.

Nevertheless, he still had more than half of his soul force with him as he had traveled with his fastest speed possible in this space.

'Maybe, the other side just a few hundred kilometers more…'

Davis couldn't help but think, becoming tempted to travel further. He narrowed his eyes, took a step forward while trying to test the waters, no, the lightning bolts, and saw if it had any adverse reaction towards his presence. However, the luminescent viridian lightning bolts inside the ninth stage lightning sea ended up being attracted to him now, making him astonished again.

'Alright, I think it is safe to move further, no?'

Davis hesitated for a moment before he began to move again. At first, when he touched the border of the ninth stage lightning sea, the sounds of buzzing lightning became crazy around him, causing him to almost have a heart attack. Nevertheless, it proved to be the same as when he entered the Lightning Sea first, unabated and unharmed within the newly formed ninth stage luminescent viridian lightning bolt barrier.

As he advanced for five more minutes in this terrifying lightning sea, he had nothing to do other than trying to stay calm for every second that passed by, and fortunately, the ninth stage lightning sea gradually came to an end but ended up being replaced by the previous eighth stage lightning sea.

The ninth stage luminescent viridian lightning bolts also left. The barrier was replaced by the eight-stage ones as if they were systematically following him before leaving after a certain distance had passed.

This made him feel doubtful, 'This is not a coincidence, but there is a powerful lightning formation present here… but I don't know whether if it is natural or a work of some peak powerhouse of the ancient times…'

As Davis pondered, another five minutes passed before his eyes abruptly lit up as it shone with a sapphire light.

'The exit!'

A few kilometers away, he could see barren land that was present without any kind of lightning bolts. Not even a single strand was present, causing him to inwardly rejoice! As soon as he neared the border, he didn't immediately exit but stayed at a distance as he surveyed the area.

He stayed like that for a few more minutes because he could afford to do so while he patiently checked for anomalies. He just hoped that he hadn't returned to the same side he entered after all this mess. That would make him freaking mad, but he prepared himself to face that disappointment as well.

"Mhmm… The coast is clear so far…" Davis mused before he flew towards the end and jumped out of the Lightning Sea as he landed on the surface.

At the same time, he stopped using the life-like energy, and the luminescent viridian lightning bolts that were surrounding him seemingly lost interest in his very existence before they shot back towards the Lightning Sea.

Davis smiled as he moved his head, wanting to look around more to investigate, but his smile froze as he noticed that his connection with the Solitary Soul Avatar had been abruptly cut off like it had been severed!
