Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1145: Consumption Rate

Nadia's eyes shot open as a golden gleam flashed. The golden-black crescent on her forehead also glowed a bit before receding. She stood up and looked at the ashes around her. She had taken out thousands of Peak-Level Spirit Stones at once, but she had only spent about ten thousand spirit stones to enter the Mid-Level King Beast Stage.As she collected the remaining spirit stones into her spatial ring, she felt confused.Her bloodline memories said that she required around 5,000 Peak-Level Spirit Stones to enter the Mid-Level King Beast Stage. However, since she was a King-Tier Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf, her bloodline memories likewise vaguely depicted that she would require five or more times of that, meaning that she had to absorb around 25,000 or more Peak-Level Spirit Stones to enter the Mid-Level King Beast Stage.Yet, this time around, she had only used around 10,000 Peak-Level Spirit Stones.Nadia didn't completely understand how this worked. She shot a curious look at the approaching Davis, her beloved Master before she could no longer hold back her curiosity. She explained her doubts to Davis, who then answered after a moment of contemplation."Nadia, you were already in the Low-Level King Beast Stage for a while, and in terms of maturity, you're a matured magical beast. Because of your two mutations, you have not reached the peak of your limit, which is the Peak-Level King Beast Stage. It's your cultivation level that is behind, so your cultivation base has a faster rate of improvement than the standard rate of improvement.""It makes sense that you only had to use two-fifths of the required Peak-Level Spirit Stones because your body's rate of cultivation growth has already compensated for the remaining three-fifths of the requirement, making you easily enter the Mid-Level King-Beast Stage.""If this makes sense, then since you had just entered the Mid-Level King Beast Stage, to enter the High-Level King Beast Stage, you would need to absorb the full amount that you would require. Judging by what you said, it should be-""125,000 Peak-Level Spirit Stones?" Nadia abruptly spoke."It would seem so..." Davis wryly smiled.It was bigger than the amount he had given. He felt that she should at least reach High-Level King Beast Stage, but he had underestimated her appetite when he should've considered her King-Tier Bloodline."Master, why is it that I need these tremendous amounts of spirit stones compared to other Dark-Winged Twilight Wolves? Is it truly because I'm a magical beast with a King-Tier Bloodline?" Nadia's voice had hints of apology and self-blame.It was as if she was sorry to spend so much of her Master's wealth."Nadia, it isn't your fault. The more your prowess is high, the more resources you would conversely need. The law of equivalent exchange applies to everything, and it can't be simply taken out of the equation."'Otherwise, the soul essences I would've needed to increase my Soul Forging cultivation base wouldn't have increased as well...' Davis inwardly fumed.It was just three or four times more for soul essences. Comparatively, for his Essence Gathering Cultivation, he needed a massive amount of fifteen times the spirit stones! His dantian was basically a money burning cauldron!Davis couldn't help but feel the pain whenever he thought about it, but the prowess he got in return made up for the regret.In actuality, Davis mused that Nadia could easily increase her cultivation base with other resources such as the nectar he held with him, but it is unlikely that he would give her as it was just a waste of resources when spirit stones helped.He would waste more spirit stones if he could save that nectar. The nectar was a heavenly resource that increased Body Tempering Cultivation, so there were always some uses for it even if it is no longer useful to him.Nadia didn't understand the law of equivalent exchange, but she understood the gist of it.Nevertheless, she still seemed to have some doubts, "Master, since magical beasts are inherently stronger than humans, does that mean a normal magical beast requires more spirit stones to consume than a human of the same level and stage?"

"That's right..." Davis smiled and was about to explain when he frowned.*Bang!~*A bolt of lightning struck just three meters away from him, momentarily disturbing his thought process before he turned to look up. The lightning flashing above the dark clouds were becoming rampant.*Bang!~* Another lightning bolt struck the ground, a little far away from him.*Bang!~**Bang!~**Bang!~*Lightning continuously struck the region around them more frequently than before, even hitting the wooden house that Sophie Alstreim slept in, but it failed to do anything to the wood, and neither was it able to pierce through. The wood didn't even light up and burn, but a patch of the black-scorched surface was left.The trees that hit got lighted up, but the drizzle soon put the fire out. Those fruits that glowed from the lightning also fell to the ground. Davis didn't spare these glowing fruits a glance because he knew that these were just food for the Amberal-Armored Armadillos and an Earth Grade ingredient at best. It was useless to him.But, no Amberal-Armored Armadillo came to harvest it as none of them were present here. Likely, they were scared by Nadia's intimidating presence.After a few seconds, the lightning bolts gradually landed further away before it moved to another region, wrecking those places as if it held some hatred against the trees and flora in that location."What was that, Master?"Nadia wasn't fazed at all as she looked at the bolts of lightning fall somewhere else in the distance. She was wondering why they weren't hit instead."It's just a small burst of a weak thundershower that periodically falls in a particular region in these islands for some time, so no need to worry." Davis also squinted his eyes.His luck was usually bad, but he didn't get hit a single time ever since coming here?Davis didn't think much about it as he shrugged and continued."As I was saying..." Davis suddenly went quiet as his brows narrowed. He pursed his lips before he uttered."If I talk, it'll take long..."Davis summoned a scroll out of his spatial ring as he blocked out the drizzle with his soul force so that the paper wouldn't get ruined. Then, he etched some words into the scroll with his soul force before he handed it to Nadia in a few seconds."You'll be able to quickly grasp the knowledge I have understood if you read this instead..."Nadia accepted and stared at the scroll, her eyes instantly becoming able to comprehend the words written in Sky Word Language. The Sky Word Language was present in the bloodline memories of every magical beast, so they were able to understand the words with it.[ Follow current on novel-online.com

Davis uttered after some time.Nadia finished comprehending at the same time and looked at her Master as her eyes flashed, "Master, this truly helped me understand. So magical beasts consume about five times more than humans on average, am I correct?""That's right! You've been a good girl, Nadia." Davis subconsciously reached out his hand in satisfaction and rubbed her head.Only after doing that did he realize that he was impulsive and took back his hand.On the other hand, Nadia's expression was the epitome of happiness as she had her lips wide in a smile!Her Master had directly taught her knowledge!Even though it was just a little bit of knowledge, she was ecstatic from the bottom of her heart that her Master had taken the effort to write this to teach her."Can I have this, Master...?" She hesitantly asked.Davis, who was viewing the dark clouds in avoidance, was startled before he nodded, "Go ahead..."He watched her keep it in her spatial ring before he shook his head with a smile."Alright, let's return to the wooden house. I'll be making a breakthrough in Body Tempering Cultivation.""Yes, Master!" Nadia cheered before she recalled that Master brought a woman here. Since she had her eyes closed, she didn't see who it was."Master, who was that woman?""It's Sophie Alstreim, the one whom we met earlier this day....""Oh, her..." Nadia nodded before her caution went away.She knew that the woman possessed almost no energy fluctuations from her senses, meaning that Sophie Alstreim should have exhausted her energy or be half-dead.Nadia then followed her Master back to the wooden house before she jumped and landed, making herself comfortable on the sofa before Davis headed room on the right side before entering and closing the door.Her eyes squinted before she looked towards the door to the left, staring at it for a while. It was unknown what she was thinking.A while later, she returned to sleeping as her eyes shut close slowly before her body automatically curled into a small stature, making her appear as if she was an adorable sleeping cat.
