Divine Emperor of Death

Time passed.

One day...

One and half a day.

Evelynn abruptly shot open her eyes and heaved a mouthful of poisonous breath that slowly mixed with the heaven and earth energy before disappearing. Her fair skin had a few places where it was slightly reddish as if possessing a burn injury...

Indeed, Evelynn became injured a few times as the Fiery Miasma Searing Poison retaliated against her when she tried to hasten the refining process. She didn't make a mistake but was too late in stopping the abrupt change in retaliation pattern.

It instinctively released its searing poison multiple times on being refined faster, but before it could affect her meridians or veins, she skillfully directed then towards her flesh, towards the outer skin, making the backlash negligible.

It kept on retaliating, but Evelynn redirected its attacks to different parts of the skin. She didn't opt to eradicate those poisonous energies on the spot but carry it outwards before attacking with her martial energy.

No matter how the Fiery Miasma Searing Poison struggled after that, it was completely refined by Evelynn in the end.

"I'm ready for the next one, husband."

"Alright... but you should currently spend some time to comprehend the insights you have obtained from the completion of the refinement."

Abruptly, a flash of pure white light descended on Evelynn's body. Her eyes went wide as she suddenly felt light, relaxed, and comfortable. She noticed that the burn injuries she sustained from the searing poison disappeared in a flash as if someone erased it with a wave of their hands.

Evelynn's lips were slightly agape, but she pursed it shut, closed her eyes, and smiled.

Who could this power belong to other than her husband?

However, it absolutely did not feel like Light Laws!

The secrets he held were numerous as the heavens, but she knew better than to ask.

She went back to concentrating on the comprehensions she gained from refining the Fiery Miasma Searing Poison. It was similar to her flesh-searing poison that dissolved, but a bit different as its miasma caused one's flesh, bones, and everything inflammable to burn instead!

If she could comprehend this and combine these two properties, she mused that her offensive prowess would undoubtedly ignite and explode towards the skies!

And perhaps because of the mysterious yet pleasurable energy, she felt relaxed and calm and could easily comprehend the insights that remained in her dantian.

Davis noticed that Evelynn entered a deep meditative state as he could feel her energy circulation stop before continuing rhythmically. He didn't know the life-like energy had such an effect. Once he confirmed that her injuries were completely healed in a few seconds, he stopped using the life-like energy. He felt that there was a chance that she would start to sleep instead of comprehending.

After all, Arianna Woller slept, and the King-Tier Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf remained at rest when being healed by the life-like energy.

'Perhaps, the life-like energy's side effect is to make all the cells in a body relax so that it can allow the person to concentrate or recover without facing any impediment?' Davis mused.

The death-like energy caused nightmares to his mother when he used it to break the soul seal that was placed on her soul.

Nevertheless, he was unable to arrive at a concrete answer.

In any case, he let Evelynn comprehend half a day before he woke her up.

"We'll continue..."

"Yes!" Evelynn shortly replied as before she engulfed the hazy orange energy that surrounded her back into her body.

She felt like she had improved a lot in terms of comprehension, and the hazy orange energy that swirled around her a while ago was none other than the sign she had comprehended Level Two Poison Intent!

She had comprehended Level Two Intent of Poison Laws eight hours ago but had yet to still digest sixty percent of the insights she had gained. From that time onwards, she constantly kept comprehending until Davis stopped her. Now, she mused that only ten percent of the insights were left in her dantian, floating in the form of little specks of dust.

The moment she made contact with them with her essence energy is when she would start to understand, but whether she could comprehend it or not was entirely another story that depended on her comprehension ability.

However, Evelynn knew that she could comprehend the remaining because she felt like she had stepped past the initial stages of Level Two Intent of Poison Laws already and somewhat became astonished by her own comprehension speed.

Was she this fast before? Why wasn't she aware of it?

Having her own doubts regarding this matter, Evelynn remained dubious, but her confidence was boosted as she felt that she could ride on the waves of abnormal luck!

She opened her eyes and saw the Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn hover in front of her, controlled by Davis's strange yet eerie pitch-black energy. Just the sight of it left her feeling prickly over her skin, so she solely tried to concentrate on the verdant sphere instead.

The Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn's top was still wavering with a bit of flame, its heat a bit glaring to her eyes. However, it did nothing to intimidate her.

"I'm ready..."

"Be careful then, and this time, no hastening the absorption process..." Davis warned.

Evelynn nodded in understanding. She wouldn't be stupid as to absorb a King Grade, a Seventh Stage Poison Essence like she absorbed the Fifth Stage Poison Essence.

"Mhm!"

She gave a sound of acknowledgment, and Davis sent her the Poison Essence just like before. It entered through the pores between the skin and tried to gather into one entity inside her body.

Evelynn was relaxed this time as she knew what it was like to receive a Poison Essence with prior experience. She grabbed it with her essence energy and used her martial energy to contain it, unlike the previous method she used to bring the Fiery Miasma Searing Poison into her dantian.

Last time, the Fiery Miasma Searing Poison felt threatened by both her essence energy and her martial energy as its own level was low, but now that this Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn's level was higher than her essence energy, it ignored the essence energy as its instincts felt that it wasn't threatening at all.

She smoothly transitioned the Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn to her dantian.

Nauseating, repulsive, and a ferocious air emanated. That is what she perceived from it once it landed in her dantian, surrounded by her flesh-searing essence energy, her revolving core, and her Undistinguished Law Manifestation.

And unlike the last time, she didn't start refining the Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn instantly. She first built layers and layers of martial energy around her dantian. She didn't stop there but continued to construct defenses in her energy pathways and other vital locations alike.

She knew that she would be unable to transport the backlash like last time since the backlash's strength would be at the Seventh Stage, so the only counter she could prepare was to create defenses with her martial energy that is boosted by Level Four Intent of Earth Laws!

Otherwise, it was clear to her that her veins, meridian pathways, and meridian points would crumble and dissolve under the effects of the Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn's counterattack for a short time.
