In the Grand Wedding Hall, the expressions of Davis's people once again took a turn for wonderment, becoming shocked again and again. Not only them but even the people who had screamed in fear for their lives had returned because they could not make it out in time because of the enclosing barrier.

It was safe for them in the Grand Wedding Hall at the moment. Nevertheless, they looked at Davis with agape mouths, wondering how he could be that strong when he was nothing but a youth!

​​

It couldn't be that he was an inheritor of an Immortal Inheritance, right!?

Impossible!

However, they all turned to look at Dragon Queen Isabella in unison as they noticed a satiated smile on her beautiful veiled face.

Could it be that the statement that Davis had already consummated their marriage meant that he had taken her primal yin and truly stood to gain to obtain this much power?

Their hearts couldn't help but bleed with jealousy.

In the skies, Wicked Glow's expression remained ugly.

They had already lost so many powerhouses in their secretive expedition to the Poison Rift Valley's one of many rifts that led to otherworldly locations. And now, they lost two more? No, including Devil Bane and the crippled Blood Thorn, they lost four more!

At the end of their expedition to this point, they had lost a total of nine powerhouses!

It wasn't any kidding matter. It was a massive loss of force for their Poison Lord Villa. However, remembering the treasure they brought back for the Poison Lord, his pounding heart relaxed.

If a power grew, it mostly meant it lost something in return. At least, that was what his experience told him so far.

"Poison Mistress, leave this to us..."

Wicked Glow and the five Mid-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses stepped forwards. They consisted of the deadly force of the Poison Lord Villa sent in their expedition if one excluded the Poison Mistress who came last after receiving the request for help.

With her powerful help and her smart wits, they managed to obtain what they went there for. What else could it be other than treasures at the Ninth Stage? But what they got was far more enticing than a few Ninth Stage Treasures.

What they obtained was actually at the peak, a game-changer that would let them reign power, making them truly align with the likes of the other wicked path powers, which give the Four Great Righteous Sects a massive headache.

In fact, the number of powerhouses in the wicked path far outstripped the righteous path, mainly because the wicked path had little to no rules, propagating new powerhouses every few years because of the rampant and chaotic ideology.

However, the righteous path had more peak powerhouses because of their ability to protect and care for their geniuses as well as to concentrate on a single entity to take care of their power, causing the others to not run rampant.

This formed a balance, making it so that there were no Four Great Wicked Sects.

However, that didn't mean that there weren't any wicked path powerhouses who wouldn't dare to go against the Four Great Righteous Sects. In fact, it was precisely because they can offend the Four Great Righteous Sects that they do not bother about making powers but go about enhancing their own cultivation, making it so that they were rarely seen in the world.

"Stay back..."

At this moment, the Poison Mistress shot past them, causing them to narrow their brows.

"He is mine!~"

She smiled widely, looking at Davis as if she was looking at her prey.

Without a stop, she shot towards him and courageously stood a few meters away from his despite what she had seen, her undulations blazing with the might of a Mid-Level Law Rune Stage and Low-Level Martial Overlord Stage.

Her cultivation made Davis wide-eyed as he really didn't think a woman could reach the Martial Overlord level easily. They were not his Isabella to be cruising through these mortifying tempering of the body. If any, he respected her on that notion but couldn't get past her revealing robes, which made her look like a harlot.

"Do you like my bosoms that much?"

Davis blinked, "Well, haven't you thrown it out for people to see?"

"Ahaha!~ Indeed, I did, but the question is if you have the gall to see it or not. It seems like you do, at the very least. Moreover, you're only a High-Level Martial Sage Stage Expert, but your prowess that reaches almost a stage above makes you a never-before-seen genius, a heavenly genius far more enticing than any genius I've encountered; in the entirety of the entire Fifty-Two Territories."

"Thank you for your praise. I now know that I stand at the pinnacle of geniuses."

Davis uttered with a nonchalant attitude. The moment the Immortal Inheritances became available to him, it became clear that the other geniuses could not possibly compare to him, Isabella, Shirley, and Clara.

However, Bylai Zlatan's achievements caused him to reconsider. She had actually established a Perfect Foundation to her Martial Sage Stage Cultivation and perhaps even her Essence Gathering Cultivation due to the manual the Zlatan Family has, which could compete with the likes of Earth Dragon's Domineering Arts.

Perhaps, she can slightly equal them in terms of prowess with it, but he didn't know if they had the immortal section of their manual. Without it, she would eventually fall behind. In truth, she already fell behind and lost, but it was understandable, considering that she didn't have the true essence blood of the Golden Dragon.

Comparing her to Isabella would probably make her cry.

On that note, he respected Bylai Zlatan, but this woman who belonged to the Poison Lord Villa could only invoke his hostility.

Such a strong powerhouse needs to be eliminated.

His eyes strongly focused on her, wanting to kill her in a single move.

The Poison Mistress grinned on noticing his gaze.

"I'll allow you to gawk at my bosoms, but further than that, you need to prove yourself."

Davis frowned, wondering what this woman was going on about.

He was about to release his killing intent, but she was still blabbing on about testing him?

Were all wicked path women like this? They looked as if they would submit to any man who defeated them and repeat the process as if branching from one strong tree to another like a monkey. He disliked such loose women just like he hated irresponsible and irredeemable men.

"Die!"

He shot forwards, his fists becoming covered in brownish-golden scales as he completely activated Earth Dragon's Hardened Scales. This time, it covered his entire left and right arm, making him look as though he turned into a fey when it was really just the shape the energy adopted.

The Poison Mistress was too near.

Even then, she didn't seem to be afraid but abruptly blew with her mouth in his direction, a dark purplish gas shooting at him at an incredible speed. It was like a kiss of death.

Davis's heart skipped a beat as he stopped and retreated. He tried to dodge to the side, but as if it was targeted at him no matter where he may go, it followed. The dark purple poisonous air instantly engulfed him. With a wave of his hand, intense might erupted, and it was as if space was almost going to be ripped apart.

The space trembled, and the dark purplish poisonous air vanished with his attack.

However, Davis began to tremble.

Her dark purple poisonous gas had already invaded his system, trying to corrupt and corrode his meridians and dantian. It even quickly surged to his organs, wanting to cripple them. It went around to every part of his body quickly as if it had its own conscious, trying to ruin him, but then it suddenly all vanished, purified by an immense surge of his soul force tinged with Fallen Heaven's life energy.

It purified all the dark purple poison present in his body in an instant while at the same time, it ended up healing him up.

'Damn, as expected. She's really strong as the rumors made her out to be...'

Davis kept trembling as if he looked like he was still affected by her poison when he suddenly pounced, his fingers shaped like a claw as he tried to swing at her neck.

The Poison Mistress's emerald eyes went wide in sheer terror.

Her Low-Level Martial Overlord Stage martial energy really wasn't capable of defending against that attack as she already saw the aftermath of her allies, and her Mid-Level Law Rune Stage poisonous essence energy couldn't really defend against earthen attacks that had a heavy impact.

Instead, she concentrated all her essence energy over her legs. She abruptly pulled her head back and used an ethereal step to the side, dodging his attack at the last moment as she retreated.

"Tch!"

"No, you don't!"

Davis made an annoyed sound and was about to rush towards her in pursuit but stopped, witnessing the six Mid-Level Law Rune Stage powerhouses cover for her as they instantly came to her side.

"How... how can it be...?"

The Poison Mistress seemed visibly shaken, looking at Davis still stand strong even after taking her poison attack.

She couldn't believe the fact that he withstood her poison.

'Impossible... My Ruinous Poison Calamity Body has never failed me...'

In fact, in terms of poisonous prowess, when one doesn't consider the difference in cultivation, she was even stronger than the Poison Lord because of her Ruinous Poison Calamity Body! A High-Level Emperor Grade Poison-Attributed Physique!

Her own prowess was at the High-Level Law Rune Stage, making her a genius amongst powerhouses, so it was actually mindboggling for her because Davis defended against her Ruinous Poison Calamity Body's Poison that made it possible for her to kill even a High-Level Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beast within a few hours of poisoning without even having to fight!
