Chapter 5364: The Remaining Essence

Davis patiently watched over Azariel as the latter tried his best to control the absorption process.

Inwardly, many thoughts ran through Davis’s head.

Even though he knew Azariel would dislike it, he still chose to move forward with this plan because he had his own thoughts about it when it comes to whom his inheritance should belong to.

’Others are after my essences like they’re dogs with their tongues out, drooling with saliva, and if that’s my eventual fate no matter how I struggle, then I’d rather Azariel devour me whole and enhance my family’s defenses... and this is nothing but a seed to allow him to pin the chaos essence down when it’s being pulled apart from me... this will make sure he gets the chaos essence even if others overcome my resistance and devour me.’

Davis couldn’t help but smirk, but also smile wryly. He had planned for his eventual demise, but it was unknown if Azariel would choose to eat him.

At the last minute, Azariel could have just cursed him and left after abandoning his avatar, and he wouldn’t have been able to say anything.

Nonetheless, before the results were out, he couldn’t tell if it was fortunate or unfortunate for Azariel.

’...’

Still, Davis felt a bit amused.

The moment he realized his chaos essence could be extracted after treating Fairy Qiyra, this had his chance to allow his own avatar to have the Chaotic Genesis Physique which he had been previously unable to create with the Verdant Vitalis Avatar Physique. However, he didn’t regret this choice since he was sending his son to a dangerous place to complete a ridiculous mission in his stead.

If he could not protect his son like this- who would? He felt this was a given.

He also laughed a bit, thinking the opposite was also true.

Since it was his chaos seed that became a foundation for Azariel’s avatar, then he could also forcefully devour it in return, like loaning and taking back compound interest.

Naturally, he wasn’t going to do something like that, but he felt that it would be an option should this avatar turn rogue and nearly destroy Azariel’s true body. Davis intended to protect his Azariel till the end since this was his responsibility, not only as a father, but the one who commenced this atrocious avatar experiment.

Azariel’s body seemed to melt and fall off like they were extensions of him.

There were already deformed heads with long necks lying all over the place, lifeless yet eerie. He could see the resemblance. They were an abomination that was constantly severed from the avatar, as the Abyssal Hydra Bloodfruit Essence provided immense regeneration capabilities to the bloodline, and the chaos essence fueled the growth and regeneration of the flesh.

Davis was sure the pain would be unbearable for Azariel if he hadn’t made him go through the previous training session. The physical pain was one thing, but the mental pain from having his truesoul undergo an insurmountable change would be ridiculously painful, to say the least; it wouldn’t be strange if Azariel lost consciousness already, but he never fainted once.

Azariel’s true body’s eyes were still wide open, and his avatar screamed from pain but hadn’t fainted a single time yet.

That alone spoke volumes of his Will to bear torture of most kinds.

The way it was going, Davis felt this experiment would be quite a success. All that remained was to comfort his wives who had been wronged or aggrieved, and look on their faces as they wanted Azariel to not go through this mess. After all, most of his wives knew how he trained and how ruthless he was to himself, treating implosion of cultivation as if it was a common thing, but only Davis understood fully that his implosions were mostly calculated.

Otherwise, he would’ve become an irreversible cripple a long time ago.

Nonetheless, comforting his wives aside, Davis gazed at the destruction seed in his other palm, wondering what to do with it.

He felt like letting his own avatar have a destruction physique, but the problem was that he didn’t have a manual to create an artificial destruction-attributed physique. The current Grand Chaos Body Art that generated the Chaotic Genesis Physique was a chaos-destruction-attributed physique. It cannot be used to create a destruction physique alone, as destruction wouldn’t create anything but only destroy on its own.

He doubted he could find one either, even with Jiayi Crystalveil’s help.

If one appeared in the True Immortal World, he wondered how much bloodshed there would be in order to attain it. Even World Hegemons would participate just to keep it with them and brag about it even if they couldn’t practice it. They might find their own disciples to practice it. Such a thing would never see the light of day.

Hence, he decided that giving the extracted destruction seed to Fiora or Zestria could be best since they both practiced destruction attributes. However, he wondered if they would be okay with digesting his cultivation, as it was practically cannibalism in one perspective and is heavily frowned upon to devour another’s cultivation unless they’re from the wicked path or other cult paths.

"Hmm...?"

Suddenly, Davis noticed a strange gaze, causing him to turn to look towards the Frostcloud Sword Empress.

"Fairy Glacia, don’t tell me you want this?"

Fairy Glacia Frigidveil’s gaze moved from Davis’s palm to his face, her smile condensing into a cold chill that encompassed Davis.

"My physique does indeed crave it. Fortunately, I have the Profound Yin Moonseed Crystal to use after I regress like you have advised. However, if I have this strange destruction essence, then it would be more advantageous to me. After all, I’d rather use the Profound Yin Moonseed Crystal to advance my cultivation further than mostly using it all up on my newly cultivated Omega Exalt Stage cultivation base. Besides, my prowess could even increase considering your destructive essence’s might is more than mine."

"..."

Davis blinked.

Originally, he had long intended to provide Fiora or Zephya with the desolate wind seed that would drop from the desolate wind fruit. For that, he needed to focus on nurturing the desolate wind tree by feeding it more desolate essence from the desolate energy that his Essence Gathering Cultivation Physique produces. He had just now decided to give the destruction seed to Fiora or Zestria, and Zestria would’ve been his likely candidate, so he felt troubled by Fairy Glacia looking at it with some desire.

Honestly, he still couldn’t repay the aid Fairy Glacia has given him, even with the World Hegemon Grade resource. Even now, she had given the Emperor-Tier Nine-Headed Hydra Exalt Beast without even negotiating terms with him and then helped him come up with an idea to inject the bloodsoul and truesoul essence without much danger. She gave help without regard for profit and stayed true to her words of helping his family due to Tanya being her personal and favorite disciple.

He really found it hard to decline her request.

Davis remained quiet, and Fairy Glacia didn’t say any polite words like letting him choose.

Usually, she was always polite and warm, and she wouldn’t ask for anything unless she wanted it, so he could tell she was serious about her request.

"Alright, it’s yours then, senior."

Davis didn’t bother to overthink the issue of distribution and rewarded it to Fairy Glacia Frigidveil as he sent his purple-black destruction essence to her.

Fairy Glacia Frigidveil reached out her hand to accept it, becoming more entranced by the Supreme Law Treasure she saw settle above her palms like it was a gentle lotus. She found it amazing how precisely Davis controlled his energies, let alone the essence he severed from himself. Even Destruction Laws appeared somewhat tame in his control, while she could still remember how hard it was to control her Iceborne Calamity Body first, when she had avoided contact with other people.

She felt it was really the difference between heaven and earth.

Fairy Glacia stored the destruction essence into a hidden life ring before she raised her head and gazed at Davis.

"I have accepted resources of similar grade from you twice. We are no longer senior and junior, since I will allow you to call me by my name, although I prefer you call me master due to our relationship with Tanya."
