The denizens of the Fifty-Two Territories all had their heads raised up, a fearful and suspicious look seeping from their eyes.

Amidst the dark skies filled with an enormous number of black dots, a few beasts abruptly enlarged in the peopleʼs view, their bodies appearing grayish in color. They flapped their savage wings and whipped their terrifying claws, creating destructive storms as they made their way down.

In those beastsʼ eyes was a vacant yet bloodthirsty gaze while their mouths kept drooling without a stop, their drool appearing extremely acidic as they seemed to even sear the air. Their razor-sharp teeth seemed to be even more terrific than what Magical Beasts possessed, some long and sharp, some even stabbing their own face as they made their way out, causing them to look more brutal.

”Flee!!!”

It was unknown who yelled the first warning in what Territory, but as though it was a bubble effect, the entire population of the Fifty-Two Territories stopped doing what they were doing and began to run for their lives as massive chaos ensued in the majority of the locations.

Compared to them, there was one location that still had people watching with wide-open eyes, only a few opting to escape to the underground tunnels built to circumvent this disaster for a while because… their hope was still up there, in the skies.

”…”

Davis looked at the utter quantity of the monstrosities descending, his eyes squinting into tiny slits while his aura flared.

He didnʼt know why he shouted for the Alstreim Familyʼs powerhouses to defend till death when it was highly possible that they would get crushed from the emerging shockwave.

What he expected to most likely disturb his seclusion was the invasion of the immortals still in the spatial vortexes or the foolish actions of the Heaven Mandate Temple and Heaven Gazing Sectʼs Immortals but what instead arrived was the third activity of the Calamity Light.

It was the least expected as he hadnʼt thought it would react so soon as much time hadnʼt passed. After all, he was spending much of his time in the Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace.

However, he abruptly refuted his thinking, knowing this had to do with the fact that time in the First Haven World and the Fifty-Two Territories flowed at the same time now.

ʼI shouldʼve been more careful of the bastard in the skies instead of concentrating on the possible conspiracy going on here with the immortals...ʼ

Clenching his teeth, Davis quickly shot into the skies, his tyrannical essence undulations blaring with intensity.

His actions caused the people below, who were shocked beyond compare at the descending Vacuous Beasts, to feel like he was sacrificing himself.

After all, looking at this, hundreds of Vacuous Beasts who were descending all turn to look at Davis as they sensed his undulations, their scalps turned numb. Even the Vacuous Beasts that seemed to have been descending towards other Territories as they faced distant directions all turned to shoot a ravaging look towards him!

”…!”

The sheer amount of pressure threatened to stop him in place. However, Davis continued to release his undulations as he took the majority of the Vacuous Beasts along with him towards the airspace of the Grand Alstreim Ocean.

*Roarrrr!~*

Abruptly, a pale, grayish-skinned thousand-meter-long snake-like dragon appeared above him, towering with its giant body. However, what was even scarier was its big and long bloodshot eyes, especially its giant dragon pupils having locked onto Davis, its bloody-edged claws slashing towards as it exuded an immortal beast might.

The extraordinary size of the dragon gave him the chills, causing his body to erupt with heavenly lightning.

*Bzzzzz!~*

Black-silver lightning erupted out of his body, striking the claw. The lightning arc cut through its sharp dragon claws and feet before arriving at its body, further piercing above as it sliced through its giant body.

*Aooo!!!!~*

The grayish dragon became severed at its shoulders, causing a massive fountain of black blood to erupt as it cried out in pain!

ʼThis…ʼ

Davisʼs eyes gazed at the black blood, wondering if this was why it was called Vacuous Beasts instead of Magical Beasts. However, his pupils reflected that despite the overwhelming pain of having an entire chunk of flesh severed from its body that spanned over a hundred meters, its other sharp claws that could shred mountains were still headed towards him.

”Heh…”

Davis smirked as he suddenly started spinning in mid-air. His body transformed into a streak of black-silver lightning before he shot around its long body. His speed was incredibly fast that the pale, grayish dragon was unable to keep up with his movements, attacking empty air as winds and storms ensued.

Its tail flicked at the end, heading towards the black-silver lightning bolt, but Davis pierced through it, arriving at the other end.

When Davis exited the dragonʼs tail, making a ton of blood splash, he didnʼt stop but continued heading into the distance without looking back.

The pale, grayish dragon trembled for a moment before its thousand-meter-long body began to fall apart, cut into tens of big chunks. Black blood exploded out of its body as they plunged into the Grand Alstreim Ocean, including the many chunks the black-silver lightning severed.

*Whoosh!!!~*

A huge storm picked up behind him and around, following him as hundreds of those Vacuous Beasts chased after him with their maws agape, ready to shut down on him and swallow him.

Not only were there dragon-like beasts, but there were also phoenixes, kirins, turtles, wolves, and foxes. Not only did they look dreadful as though emerging from a colorless world, but their bloodthirsty eyes also cast a blood-red vortex of fear, spreading panic throughout the Fifty-Two Territories.

However, a highly-concentrated wave of black-silver lightning arc flashed around them like a whip, cutting them apart.

Black blood blotched the skies!

A grayish-white phoenixʼs wings were torn apart, a kirinʼs limbs were carved into many pieces, and the turtleʼs shell was pierced into, targeting its heart. The wolfʼs agape jaw was severed wide open, and the foxʼs tails were chopped into as many tails as it had.

*Roarrr!!~*

A ghastly roar of pain erupted from them as the whip of heavenly lightning left them severe wounds, but despite the massive pain that they should be experiencing, they continued to follow Davis, chasing him as though only he or them could live under the same sky.

*Bzzzz!~*

Davisʼs heavenly lightning whip was relentless. He had turned around and retreated as he slashed at the Vacuous Beasts heading for him, but each time a Vacuous Beast closed in on him, they would get severed apart and fall into the ocean.

Even if he had carved their entire body, Davis discovered that their immortal beast undulations were still active, causing him to target them someplace else.

*Bang!~*

A strand of heavenly lightning pierced through a grayish wolfʼs head and exploded. Its body was free of injuries. However, it trembled before it abruptly began to plunge into the ocean, its immortal undulations completely disappearing in a few seconds.

*Bzzzzz!~* *Bzzzzz!~* *Bzzzzz!~*

Arcs of heavenly lightning dominated the skies, constantly extinguishing the semblance of life in those Vacuous Beasts. The arcs formed a ten thousand meters radius heavenly lightning cage, instantly eliminating those who entered the searing and tyrannical lightning field.

It didnʼt matter if it was a grayish dragon or a grayish phoenix. Davisʼs offense was practically defensive, instantly tearing them to pieces.

ʼNo defense, just mindless, raw, physical attacks… They canʼt even think for themselves but just act on their ravenous instincts, finding a suitable target and attacking that target on sight, even if that target was more powerful than them, which magical beasts will never do...ʼ

*Bzzz!~*

Heavenly lighting pierced through a Vacuous Beastʼs head, causing the bloodthirsty light in its eyes to fade into a dull red as it collapsed in mid-air, plunging towards the ocean.

Davis watched this scene and couldnʼt help but feel that they were aptly named Vacuous from the term vacant.

He also realized that their flesh was quite soft or, perhaps, hollower than magical beasts. Their only threat was their offensive prowess, which was equal to that of a magical beast immortal. However, his prowess that was at Level Two Immortal Stage didnʼt need much power to kill them.

After all, the Vacuous Beasts descending into the Fifty-Two Territories only seemed to be at Level One Immortal Foundation Stage. At least, at the moment, that seemed to be the case.

However, his expression still fell as he fought because...

... they didnʼt have a single hint of a soul essence for him to plunder!

Becoming angered, he led them around above the Grand Alstreim Ocean, slaughtering them with fury in his heart.

In the same Grand Alstreim Ocean floated many corpses. Accurately, the thousands of chunks of the corpses.

The black blood that seeped out of their bodies seemingly contaminated the ocean. Magical beasts floated to the surface, appearing to be dead. For each region where the massive chunks feel, at least a hundred magical beasts were floating to the surface in a dead manner.

It could be seen that they had swallowed the contaminated seawater or possibly had eaten the immortal meat to test their luck.

Hovering above the airspace of the Grand Alstreim Ocean was a white-crimson-robed man. His blonde hair with a bit of green hue flailed amidst the furious wind that erupted from the intense fighting in the distance. This person watched the battle with a scrutinizing gaze when suddenly a dragon head surged out from the vast sea.

The severed dragon head had its gaping jaws surrounding the white-crimson-robed man.

*Whizzz!~*

However, terrifying wind blades abruptly erupted from that man, rushing in all directions as they sliced apart the dragonʼs head into thousands of small chunks.

The white-crimson robed man had his eyes narrowed as the chunks fell, his expression becoming solemn.

”I shouldnʼt wait any longer. Itʼs time to act.”
