Divine Emperor of Death

Princess Isabella was already strong in the Peak-Level Martial Master Stage that she could fight with Martial Sage Experts, but it was never seen as she never got to fight properly other than the one time she battled Keith Ethren, and especially Algos Yantra who was much stronger than a simple Law Sea Stage Expert. 

If she successfully entered the Martial Sage Stage, on top of her original prowess, the pure power granted by the tempering of her own laws would make her powerful enough to instakill opponents at the same level and battle Mid-Level Martial Sage Experts equally, and perhaps even enable her to struggle against High-Level Martial Sage Experts!

Davis was well aware of the chasm between levels in the Eighth Stage. Being able to battle across a level meant the laws she comprehended were of top quality compared with normal cultivators remaining in the same Law Intent.

However, people here could obviously not compare to Princess Isabella's comprehension speed. She possessed the blood essence of the Earth Dragon Immortal, which let her quickly comprehend Earth Laws every time it assimilated into her body a level until it completely mixed with her blood!

'In any case, laws are seamless and immeasurable. One would have no way to find out the quality unless they fought a cultivator with the same cultivation base and law comprehension level.' Davis heaved a sigh and watched her cultivate.

Six hours passed.

Princess Isabella's face, her expression, remained contorted in pain. It was not the nectar but the process of inscribing laws within her body. Her body was entirely inscribed with golden lines and patterns of Earth Laws that came off as incomprehensible, but to Davis, it was slightly comprehensible. 

He stared at her and contemplated the manifested patterns on her, and this surprisingly helped him improve his Earth Laws a bit. 

However, his concentration was entirely on her safety because Princess Isabella had just started to meld the laws into her body. The tempering made her expression contort in pain, but the pain was relatively less at certain in intervals with the influence of the nectar. Once she completed this final process, she would step into the Martial Sage Stage.

Davis waited for three more hours with casting utmost attention before he saw the marks on her forehead fade away. It was the last mark that remained after she completed inscribing her body with the Earth Laws she had comprehended.

Princess Isabella's face looked a bit exhausted while her body was covered in sweat, but abruptly, martial energy intensely surged from her body and swirled around, rocking the whole building.

The whole building shook from the intensity of the martial energy, but Davis was prepared for this as he activated the Low-Level Emperor Grade Defensive Formation he set up in the room. It blinked into existence right around her, and blinding light shone around her before it became transparent.

Princess Isabella's body shuddered as her martial energy experienced a qualitative change becoming more and more powerful and intense. 

*Aooo!!*

An image of the Earth Dragon appeared above Princess Isabella! The domineering roar of the Earth Dragon echoed from her body, causing Davis to be taken aback.

He thought that it was an illusion but wasn't sure if it was a manifestation of the Blood Essence.

Princess Isabella's golden martial energy that had suddenly erupted became tame before receding into her body like a tsunami that lost its momentum, receding into the ocean. The martial energy flowed back, and the air around regained its normal atmosphere rather than the might of the dragon revolving around.

Davis blinked, wondering if there was going to be an explosion, but he could see that Princess Isabella safely stepped into the Martial Sage Stage without encountering an unwarranted problem.

Princess Isabella's eyelids fluttered like a butterfly before she opened her eyes. Her black eyes that possessed a pure and serene gaze fell on Davis before she smiled.

"Foolish woman, what if I suddenly attacked you? At least you could've asked Evelynn before taking a leap of faith like this..." Davis wryly smiled back.

To think that the cautious Isabella would do something such as throwing herself to unclear fate...

If her actions weren't for him, then who else?

"Davis, it was wrong of me to become suspicious of you, no, to have even doubted the time we had spent, it is my fault!" Princess Isabella spoke from her heart.

"But the trust you were willing to place in me will not go to waste..." 

She clenched her fists, and the mighty power swelling within her palms directly translated into words!

"From now on, even if I die in the Immortal Grade Trial in the foreseeable future, you are my husband!"

Princess Isabella uttered with a determined expression on her face. It was as if she completely accepted this fact and sealed her fate by herself. 

Davis widened his eyes before his mouth slightly went agape.

'There was no need to make this kind of declaration before marriage...' His agape lips closed.

It was as if she exchanged vows with him already.

His eyes flashed with a strange glint before he speedily pulled his arm from his sleeves, and the robe fell behind his back, leaving him with his sleeveless shirt and pant.

Princess Isabella's eyes shot wide before alarm filled her face as she watched him close in on her. Despite the immense power she possessed, panic embodied her expression as she shook her head, "Davis... Yo- Don't come clos-"

Davis arrived before her and pushed her into the broken bed as he grasped her wrists, faintly smelling her alluring scent that came from her sweat-drenched body.

There were almost no impurities in her body, and the sweat she secreted was merely further refining whatever little impurities she had left. Without a doubt, her body was the purest he ever was to hold in his hands.

Davis looked at her panicked expression, and the words she said before once again echoed in his ears.

"Isabella, you know how to rile me up..."

Princess Isabella's expression faded as a crimson hue took over her cheeks. Her black eyes were somewhat clouded, like if there was a haze covering her the emotions in her eyes.

Davis leaned his head towards her, and his lips were just a few centimeters away from her lips. He could even feel her steamy and hot breath that made him want to ravage her completely.

"Your lips... Your body... I want it all..."

Princess Isabella's pupils dilated before it stopped.

It was as if she was trapped in a spell, only able to find herself looking into his sapphire eyes. It completely pulled her in, making her unable to retaliate or even do anything for that matter.

Davis looked at her completely be helpless against him. She was not even daring as Evelynn at this point. However, her shyness regarding this matter turned him on significantly.

The blood essence had invoked his inner yang in the past, but it did not invoke her inner yin. That's because the blood essence of the Earth Dragon Immortal belongs to a male and not a female.

If the blood essence belonged to a female, then Princess Isabella would've become horny instead!
