Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 189

Chapter 189
A few seconds later, his dantian and meridians were completely flooded with energy making him glow slightly like an electrical bulb .
"Now!" A low shout escaped from his mouth as he drove the third layer of Extinction Lightning Judgement .
Immediately, the energy that ran rampant in his dantian started to swirl and converge in a single point, revolving in the centre .
All the energy he collected flowed towards the revolving core that was starting to take shape .
Its size increased from the side of a pigeon egg to the size of a football . Time passed as he clenched his teeth in agony .
However, only the energy in his meridians was left to be absorbed .
A minute later, the energy in his meridians was taken in, leaving a revolving core that was three times the size of a basketball .
His dantian itself was on the verge of an explosion but he suddenly shouted, "Compress!"
A huge muffled sound echoed in his body as the revolving core was compressed to the size of a basketball .
"Compress!"
Boom! His muscles and veins that returned to normal size, enlarged once again .
Because he failed to compress it anymore, all the strength he used to suppress backlashed and injured his body including his organs and flesh .
Blood seeped down from his mouth in copious amounts . He even bled from his nose and ears while his eyes were bloodshot .
"Compress!"
*Bzzz!*
Lightning shot off from his eyes as said once more .
*Bzzz!*
The revolving core in his dantian quickly started reducing .
Yes, it was reducing instead of compressing, because he was using the extinction lightning in his dantian to refine the revolving core!
At this point, he couldn't care less of injuries and sequelae . Going all out, using any means necessary he had to bring the revolving core the size of a pigeon's egg or else his breakthrough might end in failure .
Time passed as he grit his teeth while refining his own revolving core . Talk about suicide . . .
Even though it looked like he was crazy, he was incredibly careful in refining . He only refined the outer core, not daring to refine deep inside .
Beads of sweat flowing down, slightly tainted with blood could be seen .
This excruciating process went on for hours before he finally succeeded in refining the core into a pure revolving core that sparkled with black lightning, its size became that of a pigeon egg .
It looked almost pitch black and if weighed, it seemed like it would amount to millions of kilograms in terms of mass like a black hole .
Although not exactly a black hole, such a mass of energy revolved in his dantian .
After the process ended, he found himself beyond tired and also exhilarated, beaming with energy . As if of on both ends on a rope, with his battered body and exhausted soul, he lost consciousness while willing allowing it to take place .
. . .
A day later, he woke up feeling rejuvenated as the exhaustion went away leaving only the feeling of the breakthrough .
He took some pills, revolved the Tyrant Body Secrets and felt that he was somewhat close to the next breakthrough .
Next, he revolved Sacred Luminance Mist, restoring his soul force as time slowly ticked by seamlessly into the horizon .
His mouth curved into a smile as he knew that the breakthrough helped him in various ways .
Using his Fourth Stage Body Tempering Cultivation to withstand the backlash, and Fourth Stage Soul Forging Cultivation to help refine the core with concentration and accuracy, only an anomaly like him could've done it in the first place .
And most people would have a high Energy Condensation Cultivation and a low Body Tempering Cultivation, rendering their body weak in case anything goes wrong .
If someone tried it like him, there's a ninety-nine percent chance that they would've exploded into pieces while trying to refine their own Revolving Core as it isn't much different from blowing up oneself in a different context .
Only after reaching the Revolving Core Stage would one get the opportunity to cultivate the soul, but to this seamless rule, Davis was an exception .
As he checked the Revolving Core in his Dantian, he noticed the minute yet visible peculiarities in it .
"My revolving core mutated?" He muttered under his breath as he drew a gasp .
'A normal person's revolving core is transparent at the beginning, later changing colours according to the law they cultivate in Energy Condensation Cultivation . Mine should be the same, later changing colours but . . . this . . . the composition itself is different . '
He was quite sure that his Revolving Core had undergone a qualitative change but he was not an expert .
That said, he was sure that his Revolving Core had at least achieved the first grade in terms of quality . Maybe, it was even purer and he just didn't know it with his current knowledge .
According to his mother, there were at least four grades with the fourth being the weakest and the first being the strongest .
'Mother said that there was actually a device to test my Revolving Core's grade, I wonder if they have it?' Davis thought but decided to not consult anyone about this .
No one here was his enemies but they were not his friends either .
Consulting might turn out to be worse and they might even suddenly discover his weakness which he might not even know, so he couldn't afford to make a mistake at this point .
Davis suddenly stood up and placed a step in the air . His foot didn't stop there but descended down on the floor .
He again took a step and another, this time, actually managing to step on the air .
"I am actually standing on air . . . " Davis blinked and took a step again till he hit the ceiling .
'This is a very different feeling, different from when I flew with my soul body . . . ' He thought .
If he could step on the air, then he could probably use his energy to propel himself to fly or float .
And as expected, he floated to and fro around the room carefully, experiencing the feel . After floating around like that for a few minutes, he got the hang of it .
Dropping on the bed, he had a wide smile on his face .
Floating or walking in the air didn't take much of his energy as it got replenished soon enough, but he felt that if he were to actually fly at full speed, it would start draining his energy gradually .
"Hehe, I got stronger and will get stronger . . . " Somehow, being able to fly got him high and delusional about what he will be able to do in the future, after gaining enough power to rule the world .
