Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-2264

Davis arrived at the Astral Light Sect Territory and inevitably saw the widespread destruction.

Like the Heaven Mandate Temple's mini realm, he spotted a mini-realm here as well.

He wondered if the Starnova Emperor and Farah Lanate survived.

However, he didn't stop but continued on, crossing the Poison Lord Villa Territory towards the northwest and entering the Dark Moon Crow Empire Territory.

Here, magical beasts were slaughtered and the sea of blood was even larger than what filled the human race's Territories. It made him feel nauseous, but he kept moving forward, attracting hundreds of Vacuous Beasts from this region and the surrounding regions.

His heavenly and tyrannical undulations blared, summoning them all over like he was their master, but they were undoubtedly intent on devouring him completely.

Nadia appeared outside and surged with a deathly might while Eldia guarded his back. After all, they couldn't repeatedly perform the second level of the Prismatic Intramural Soul-Spirit Pact. Nonetheless, their killing speed was extremely high as they slaughtered the Vacuous Beasts with a passion.

Davis couldn't find Nyoran or the Dark Moon Crow Immortal Beast and neither could he find a single hint of the Dark Moon Crow Species, making him think that they had escaped using their speed and vague concealing ability.

But where to?

Nonetheless, he didn't have the time to search for them, moving northeast to the Frigid World Spirit Empire Territory in the Spirit Lands.

Here, the world barrier of the spirits seemed to have completely collapsed, only its heavy remnant aura remaining in the air for the long time it existed, like the Territory Fog.

Arriving at Iesha's Frigid World Spirit Empire, he saw it was in ruins, but he couldn't sense the air of death here, making him wonder if they had also escaped to some mini-realm.

'Ah, every hegemon and a few strong powers have a place to seek shelter against this kind of calamitous situation, except for a few mini-realms that could only be opened at certain times…'

He imagined the fate of the weak that was truly fleeting at this moment, disappearing with a single roar of an Immortal Vacuous Beast.

He combed the area as much as he could, destroying the stray Vacuous Beasts before proceeding to the east and southeast from the Frigid World Spirit Empire, concentrating all the Vacuous Beasts on him before beginning a slaughter again.

However, Davis was already desensitized by this point.

No matter where he went, and where he looked, he was met with the color of crimson.

Cities in gruesome ruins, rivers flowing in red, and mountains shattered while teeming with an ominous crimson from the dusky red skies.

The mass of the dead bodies of the humans, magical beasts, and spirits piling up was more than the mass of the Immortal Vacuous Beasts, even though he had killed thousands of them already.

He, Eldia, and Nadia were exhausted, choosing to retreat. However, just when he almost ran out of soul force, Epsila provided him with a vast amount of energy, even slightly rejuvenating his stamina.

She was the Spirit-Tier Supreme Ebbing Sigil Pill. She used up all her energy, giving him eighty percent of his soul force, which he used to eradicate the remaining Level One Immortal Vacuous Beasts with reincarnation energy.

Perhaps because she was one of the many reasons his soul essence had improved, the compatibility within their energy exchange was rather great!

Since he had scoured the area and was almost sure that the northern side of the Fifty-Two Territories was clear of the Vacuous Beast, he no longer held back, reincarnation energy bursting into the skies as they overwhelmed the heads of the Immortal Vacuous Beasts, blinding them with an iridescent black and white before causing their heads to disappear.

Even though the carcasses of the Vacuous Beasts kept piling up, Davis derived no peace of mind from it.

While he took care of the Vacuous Beasts, a temporary report appeared from the All-Seeing Emperor who used his vast network to gather information about the stranded Vacuous Beasts and the number of dead.

The death count reached hundred and eight billion for humans and unknown for magical beasts and spirits alike. Each billion represented a thousand million lives. This number was just a statistic, but the sheer amount of dead souls made Davis feel… terrible.

Even though the amount of deathly air in the world increased and allowed him to have a greater understanding of Death Laws subconsciously, he still brewed with some heaviness and incredible anger against that bastard Fraser Herrion.

If he felt a significant amount of hatred just for billions of strangers dying, then…

"That harmful person intends to weaken Myria's will by doing this… every time… and using their deaths as a binding curse that haunts her…"

Lereza's voice resounded in his soul sea, causing Davis to tremble ever so slightly as his fists clenched, his surging anger calming instead as he controlled himself.

"You are…?" He couldn't help but ask, which made Lereza become silent for a few seconds before she spoke.

"Just a spirit saved by Saintess Myria back when she was called… a Fiend. I wanted to repay it back, and it's done."

Davis's expression became bewildered before his eyes shot wide.

"Wait… you're not a palace spirit?"

"I am a palace spirit." Lereza confirmed, "However, I'm not a pure spirit or an innate palace spirit."

"Then…?"

"…"

Lereza kept her silence.

Davis didn't probe on as he sensed her silence but remembered her dragon horns that were suspicious initially, making him wonder if she was a mixed-blood existence.

She had dragon horns that radiated a bit of draconic aura, but was a spirit?

Was she a fey, but a mix between a magical beast and a spirit?

However, it seemed like immortal spirits can become the spirits of constructs and perhaps even armaments, making him think of Yama and Lancelot, who had gotten no action for a long time.

Nonetheless, it seemed that this issue was sensitive to Lereza, so Davis didn't bother about it and changed the topic.

"Where do you think the immortals have gone to? I don't see any of them even after clearing a lot of Vacuous Beasts. Don't tell me they are too afraid to come out?"

Except for Founder Alstreim Windstorm, everyone else had disappeared like the wind. Even the unknown Spirit Immortal wasn't present in the Ancestral Spirit Ground Territory, and the Jade Lotus Valley and Glorious Pill Palace's Immortals could no longer be contacted, making him wonder what was wrong with all of them.

"I don't know for sure, but chances are that they returned to the First Haven World."

"Why? Isn't the First Haven World also invaded by the hundreds and thousands of Immortal Vacuous Beasts at this moment?"

"Perhaps when they sensed the Immortal King Vacuous Beast and despaired, they no longer decided to stay…"

"Figures…"

Davis wryly smiled.

It was just one Immortal King Vacuous Beast compared to hundreds in the First Haven World but caught in a cage, even a trembling prey would try to escape from an absolute predator to run into droves of predators as the chances of survivability were more compared to staying inside.

At that time, spatial instability was at large, so it wouldn't be strange if they used that opportunity to return to First Haven World.

He just hoped that they managed to return safely instead of being killed, devoured by the Vacuous Beasts, or swallowed by the void.

'But this is also my chance… blend in with the destruction caused by the hundreds and thousands of Vacuous Beast and establish myself in the First Haven World… not bad for a humble yet ambitious start…'

If anything, Davis felt that the ascendance sites would be deserted and clear, allowing him to successfully blend into the First Haven World as though he was its denizen in the first place!
