In reality, Davis didn't know that the Towering Cloud Hall possessed some treasures that are capable of restoring blood essence. However, unlike his life-like energy, the effects and the restoring efficiency was minimal.

Nevertheless, Halifan wasn't worried. He could replenish his blood essence to a certain degree as long as he doesn't go too far in sacrificing his blood essence that ends up in completely ruining his potential!

Looking at the two-hundred-meter tall yellowish palm that was coming at him, he sneered and had his Lightning Manifestation repeatedly attack it! Right now, he was clear that Halifan would only have a little bit of essence energy left! He didn't know how much, but he felt that it should definitely be lesser than thirty percent since Halifan used up three law manifestation attacks!

He mused that Halifan could, at the most, launch another Earthen Palm Manifestation to defeat him!

Davis was almost right.

Halifan's essence energy fell to a meager twenty percent, and his body was constantly shuddering from the heavy and repetitive barrage of manifestations he released. His dantian was even trembling as if it would collapse, but he clenched his teeth and gathered all the essence energy within him to unleash a mighty technique!

Meanwhile, the Earthen Palm Manifestation, which was being continuously bombarded by the sea of extinction lightning thinned out and dispersed, but it had also successfully managed to close the distance between them to no more than a hundred meters.

Halifan closed the distance thanks to his two Earthen Palm Manifestations. He clenched his fists and uplifted his palms.

"Rising Earthen Fist Technique!"

Davis abruptly sensed Halifan's new technique that congealed out with his essence energy. He slightly inclined his head below and saw that his footing was shaky as the earth sunk. It was not the martial platform, but the heaven and earth energy in the air quickly gathered below his feet, and Halifan's essence energy transformed into an attack!

It was as if he was going to get stuck in the middle of a quagmire!

Davis flew up in an instant and sensed a fist heading his way as the incredible pressure tried to punch him to the skies. The moment he flew up, the sea of lightning overwhelmed the rising earthen fist and constantly struck out as banging sounds repeatedly echoed out!

When Davis inclined his head above, he saw Halifan smile at him with a sinister smile, his palm clenched while pulled back as it released a golden battle aura, ready to be released!

"Die!"

Halifan punched out as his battle aura peaked into his fist before it released!

*Bzz!~*

Davis raised his hand and released streaks of black lightning from his palm that struck the battle aura, destroying it on impact.

Halifan's expression turned ugly. He had completely spent his essence energy, and his Peak-Level Gold Stage Body Tempering Cultivation turned out to be useless in the end! He quickly retreated and strode back through the air, but the sea of lightning descended from above him, causing him to panic.

Davis forcefully clenched his fists and controlled the sea of black lightning to wrap around Halifan's body. Surprisingly, the arcs of black lightning wrapped Halifan in black lightning shackles and restrained him without hurting him much.

As Davis experimented with the manifestation he created, he found out that he was able to control it easily, unlike the yellowish palm, which only seemed to be able to travel in a single direction. Maybe it was just Halifan being unable to freely control his manifestation. In any case, it didn't matter.

"You!" Halifan possessed an ugly expression on his face. The black lightning that wrapped around all his limbs restricted him from moving, and no matter how he invoked his battle aura, the almost endless sea of black lightning around him replenished the shackles.

Despite his full effort in raising his battle aura to break through the shackles of that damned lightning forcefully, he found himself unable to even properly destroy these strands of black lightning.

"What is this lightning!!?" Becoming exasperated, Halifan yelled as his expression contorted!

Davis smirked, but he first looked around.

By this time, the manifestation that stretched for over two kilometers was no more than a few hundred meters in radius, crackling around him. He was not disappointed. It was expected as it managed to receive more than two law manifestations strike from the opponent, who was a level higher than him!

No wonder it was called a Superior Manifestation by the elders. His Martial Master Stage physical sense detected their yell while being surrounded by the crackles of lightning.

"You insolent fool! I'm aski-"

...*Paahhhh!~*

"To think you ran to me like a good grandson to get slapped... Sigh, I misjudged you..."

Davis shook his head with a rueful expression on his face, "You're a filial grandson..."

Halifan possessed an expression of absolute disbelief. He was unable to process what had happened, but when he felt the stinging pain on his cheek, he came out of his reverie before he clenched his teeth in humiliation!

He was slapped! He was slapped even worse than Baize!

"Yo-"

Davis placed a finger on his lips. It caused Halifan to fall silent as he trembled while feeling shame from being intimidated.

"I'll answer your question like your grandfather, so listen..." Davis coldly spoke before explaining, "My extinction lightning takes more effort to be dispersed. As the lightning that strikes to exterminate, it possesses a tremendous endurance that requires more energy to make it disperse."

"Furthermore, from the prowess I've exhibited, I believe that I am able to fight across two levels with my essence gathering cultivation base. Your tiny essence energy capacity is unable to break even the manifestation of my extinction lightning that is combined with Level Four Intent of Lightning Laws."

Davis appeared exasperated, "Tell me, if you weren't an earth cultivator, would you even have a chance to show off in front of me?"

Halifan's expression trembled as he looked at the monster in front of him.

Below hundred years of age with an abnormal Low-Level Sixth Stage Essence Gathering Cultivation Base, and has also comprehended Level Four Intent in Lightning Laws, which is almost impossible for a person to comprehend just after entering the Sixth Stage.

From the undulations emitted by Alchemist Davis, it was clear that his Essence Gathering Cultivation Base wasn't completely stable. At this close range, he could sense that his foundation was a bit erratic, which led him to believe that Alchemist Davis had just entered the Law Manifestation Stage.

Halifan became overwhelmed. He couldn't believe that he, a core disciple who is also comparable to a top disciple in prowess, would lose to this person whom he no more saw than as trash!

His expression incessantly contorted.

The piteous gazes of numerous people struck him and gave him a pain worse than the shackles of lightning.

Pain!

Humiliation!

Shame!

An insane light flashed past his eyes before he grinned.

"Release me!"

Davis became taken aback. He couldn't help but subconsciously reply, "What do you mean release me? You're completely restricted. You have no other choice but to surrender..."

"I don't care what trash says! Release me, and I will win! Let's battle it out with our Body Tempering Cultivations!"

Davis narrowed his eyes, 'Is this guy even sane?'

But looking at his contorted expression and crazy eyes, he felt that Halifan momentarily became insane. Breathing a sigh, he activated his Heart Intent.

Humiliation, shame, fear, expectation, and killing intent became visible to his senses.

Davis instantly realized.

'Ah, this guy is faking it... Is he stalling for time? No, he is wagering on the fact that I won't kill him.'
