Initially, Davis was planning on using the techniques from his new essence gathering cultivation manual, Incursive Barren Lightning Manual, ending this battle in a few moves, but he didn't think that he could summon his manifestation out. He did have an idea of trying it in the future, but the thought of using his manifestation in this battle never crossed his mind.
Furthermore, it looks like Halifan's Earthen Palm Manifestation was not a technique like he initially guessed, but it was a manifestation. No wonder it appeared larger but intrinsically weaker than the golden palm from Elder Towerfall. The power of the manifestation directly equated to the cultivator's prowess.
Davis circulated his essence energy, and black lightning around him receded. His revolving core spun wildly in the middle of his dantian while he tried to summon his manifestation that was all-present in the dantian. It was difficult, and he had no experience some he was doing it for the first time.
The atmosphere changed, and the air around him crazily vibrated. Arcs and arcs of crackling black lightning surrounded him and extended to the space surrounding him, enveloping more than half of the martial platform!
"W-What!!? You! How can your manifestation be this large!?" Halifan's scalp became numb.
Looking at the airspace in front of him raining black lighting on the martial platform, he felt as if the world was about to end as he felt endlessly pressured! He was utterly intimidated!
*Rumble!~*
*Rumble!~*
The torrential rain of black lightning covered a radius of two kilometers around Davis. The crowd retreated towards their rear, afraid that they would be engulfed by the expanding form of the black arcs of calamity. The shock they possessed in their eyes was clear for everyone to see because such a large manifestation is something that they had never heard of in their lives!
"This... This is a superior manifestation!?" Elder Towerfall, Elder Enye, and Elder Havle Alstreim became shocked at the same time.
Even top disciples have enormous difficulties in achieving a manifestation of this size! No, enormous difficulties was an understatement. It was practically impossible to achieve without a deep comprehension of laws! It was one thing if it were a domain, but it was not!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe last time they saw a superior manifestation was when the previous Nine Eastern Territories Young Expert Competition took place! Only the person who secured the first place possessed a supreme manifestation, being able to dominate the martial stage with supremacy!
The pupils of all three elders shook intensely. Such a genius belonged to an external power? They were reluctant, but Elder Towerfall's eyes flashed with killing intent before he quickly suppressed it.
Alchemist Davis! The reason for two defeats of the Towering Cloud Hall in this battle exchange.
His expression became a bit ugly once he realized that the Towering Cloud Hall was going to lose the battle again. He didn't know where he should keep his face after he returned to the Towering Cloud Hall.
Princess Isabella noticed their yells. Looking at the shocked expression of the three elders, she became complacent and proud. Evelynn and Natalya too possessed a sparkle in their eyes.
The sea of black lightning appeared too dominating!
'Oh? Summoning this manifestation only took away twenty percent of my essence energy?' Davis blinked as he looked around.
Soaking in the large curtain of black lightning that spread around him, he did not feel uncomfortable. It did not injure him in the least bit and even made him feel comfortable. In this space, his confidence was boosted tremendously!
In fact, his manifestation felt as if it was his domain! And creating a law domain was the power of a Law Dominion Stage Cultivator!
Davis had the urge to laugh with an unrestrained demeanor, but he kept himself controlled. He always felt this Essence Gathering Cultivation was lacking, but now, it was clear that it was starting to display its prowess.
Gazing at his revolving core the was constantly spinning, directly sending the streaks of black lightning that filled the space around him, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He had thought its capacity to store essence energy was large, but it looks like it was also special in the sense that it can magnify his prowess, including his manifestation that contains the profound mysteries of Lightning Laws!
Level Four Intent of Lightning Laws! Perhaps, this was the effect of consuming two Lightning Elementals like juice!
"Let me tell you... Although Earth is stronger against Lightning, when the difference is too big, the former is no different than Water..."
Davis smiled as he raised his hand and pointed his index finger at Halifan. This time it was no feint!
"Overwhelm, my manifestation..."
*Rumble!~*
*Rumble!~*
With a command, the strands of black lightning constantly swirling around, hitting each other while deflecting like bouncing balls, simultaneously pointed their electric fangs at Halifan as they quickly shot towards him!
Halifan wasn't idle at this time. He wasn't stupid enough to become numb from fear. His essence energy was rapidly circulating, summoning another manifestation! It had already appeared by the time Davis was inwardly musing about his manifestation.
The hundred-meter tall yellowish palm shot towards the sea of black lightning heading towards him!
*Boom!~*
The millions of arcs of black lightning shattered upon impact!
Even though the yellowish palm looked like a child in comparison with the sea of black lightning, it's strength was not to be underestimated. After the initial clash with the sea of black lightning, it didn't disappear. Instead, it shot forwards while being constantly barraged by the arcs of black lightning.
*Bzz!~*
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm*Bzz!~*
The Earthen Palm Manifestation was repeatedly slowed down by the sea of black lightning! The barrage of Alchemist Davis's Lightning Manifestation was plain for all to see. Looking at his battle prowess, they all felt doubtful if this person was really an alchemist!
Wasn't alchemists said to be weak in battles since they have dedicated their lives to alchemy?
Davis smiled as he saw that Halifan's manifestation was about to disappear. There were just too many deadly arcs of extinction lightning constantly weakening the yellowish palm. Before it can reach half the distance between them, the yellowish palm had already taken complete damage and disappeared.
*Rumble!~*
Streaks of black lightning that just passed through the destroyed Earthen Palm Manifestation was suddenly struck by a tremendous force that erased thousands of black lightning arcs from existence.
What appeared in the area was the soaring figure of a brown-haired hot-blooded man!
Halifan's short hair was literally burning! There was no fire, but from the heat, it was actually giving off a burnt smell. He flew with his fist, pointing towards the sea of black lightning, possessing tremendous valor in the crowd's eyes.
However, in reality, Davis could sense that his opponent had used some portion of his blood essence. In his eyes, Halifan looked desperate and miserable.
"Roar, my Earthen Palm Manifestation!"
Halifan sent out a palm, and a yellowish palm stretched out of his hand before it grew to two hundred meters tall. Although it looked towering as well as imposing, it still looked small in front of the sea of black-colored lightning!
'Really? Using his blood essence again?' Davis became speechless.
Even if this is a really important battle, why go too far to ruin their future potential by sacrificing blood essence to strengthen their techniques?
Davis couldn't understand their self-harming tendencies. Cultivators couldn't sacrifice their blood essence like spitting saliva! It was just too harmful!
Was the nectar just too alluring for them, the Towering Cloud Hall?
