Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2255: Crisis On The Other Side

The righteous path humans safe in their cities were watching the gigantic projection with wide and terrified eyes.

All they could see was a sea of death-black energy swirling around and a black-silver streak of lightning repeatedly killing those humongous savage beasts that descended.

But every now and then, the big screen projection changed scenes, displaying the destruction caused by these Vacuous Beasts in the other Territories, especially the wicked path Territories where sects and cities were destroyed one by one.

They were all clear or blurred images depicting the destruction caused by the Vacuous Beasts. The number of deaths they were witnessing made their bodies tremble. Those terrifying Vacuous Beasts left no stone unturned, swallowing hundreds and thousands of cultivators in an instant by sucking them into their stomachs, smashing them with their long claws into the ground, causing mass destruction that quaked the earth, or outright heaving a roar that caused millions to explode in an instant, leaving a sea of blood in their wake.

The ruins of the Burning Phoenix Ridge, Pill Refining Sect, Emperor Sword Sect, Soul Palace, and even the Heaven Gazing Sect and Astral Light Sect left their blood cold.

Such destruction caused by those bloodthirsty eyes had some of the people witnessing pee in their pants, some even becoming limp and fainting.

However, the Emperor of Death at this moment single-handedly gathered the monstrosities from the Nine Western Territories and nearby Mid-Sized Territories and fought for a long while, killing thousands of them before his people joined him.

He protected the eastern region from destruction, and such bravery and strength had them reeling in hope despite their clattering teeth making terrified noises, aware that he was the foremost reason most of them were able to safely watch from their cities at the moment!

”Emperor of Death!”

”Emperor of Death!!”

”Emperor of Death!!!”

Chants and choruses using his title began to resound throughout the righteous path Territories. However, there were still some who were almost convinced of the worldʼs demise.

”Can we… win?” A pale-faced woman couldnʼt help but ask.

”Weʼll win!”

Her husband beside her grasped her shoulder and tightly held onto her.

”No…” However, a person beside them shuddered as he pointed at the big projection.

”Do you two not see that their numbers are not dwindling…?”

The couple turned to look and couldnʼt help but gulp at the giant figures blotting out not only the screen but also the skies.

One would think since the Emperor of Death and his people defeated thousands of Vacuous Beasts, they would decrease, but no, the more the Emperor of Death fought, the more Vacuous Beasts sensed his presence from an extreme distance, taking off in his direction.

Right now, he had even gathered more Vacuous Beasts in his presence, the count almost staying the same since he was fought in the Vital Tempering Sectʼs skies, remaining around two thousand even till now.

But unbeknown to them, Davis battled the Vacuous Beasts without worrying about the numbers staying the same as he had the hit and lead around plan in place as a buffer to let his energy restore and commit a massacre again.

Droves and droves of Vacuous Beasts kept plunging to the ground.

Nadiaʼs death sea created from her three selves stayed, devouring a majority of the Vacuous Beasts. While she could be said to be the first line of defense, Davis and Eldiaʼs heavenly lightning spear making rounds in zig-zag motions in the skies caused many deaths, and when those things tried to take his back, Founder Alstreimʼs terrifying wind blades made millions of chunks out of their heads, instantly killing them.

His wind blades were sharp and deadly, quickly slicing off any hindrances that tried to impede Davisʼs path or attack the crimson-robed woman behind him. He didnʼt let a single Vacuous Beast get past him, a world of tempestuous bombardment brewing around him. When a Vacuous Beast entered, all it could do was find itself barraged by terrifying wind blades from all sides before it turned into millions of chunks.

When the four of them were about to be overwhelmed, a head-sized scarlet-white flaming wisp would silently float beyond the deathly sea from above, abruptly exploding into a sea of scarlet-white flames that blinded but evaporated the cells out of everything in its range.

It sent the Vacuous Beasts that were struggling near them flying into the distance like they didnʼt belong there, and even more dreadful were the injuries it caused, causing crystalline wounds to appear over their flesh which constantly corroded them.

It was the most destructive out of them all, but of course, Davis didnʼt plan on using the combination of heavenly flames and heavenly lightning as that consumed way more essence energy than he could afford to use.

Right now, Shirley filled that part magnificently, greatly gaining them time to breathe!

With Nadia, Eldia, Shirley, and Founder Alstreimʼs help, Davis began to have more leeway, and consequently, his thoughts also wandered.

Before Vacuous Beasts began to descend from the Calamity Light, it seemed that eight rays of light flashed in the skies like a blurred sight of the sun. Most missed it as the rays were instantaneous like a shooting star in the morning sky, but some who were looking at the skies, worried about the Calamity Light, seemed to have vaguely noticed those rays yet belatedly reported it because the savage beasts were already descending by then.

They thought it was a mere byproduct, but after the Level One Immortal Vacuous Beasts invaded and the Territory Fog separating the Territories started to disappear, they started to have doubts if it had something to do with the eight rays of light and hurriedly reported it which now fell in Davisʼs ears.

This information caused him to think that the end was nigh.

Perhaps, the Fifty-Two Territories Grand Formation was already destroyed!

”Lereza, whatʼs going on?”

Davisʼs voice resounded anxiously in his soul sea, directed towards the floating palace.

”The situation is dire.” Lereza almost instantly replied, ”Davis, you must head towards Myria right now.”

”Huh? Canʼt you see that Iʼm busy?”

Davis dodged a grayish phoenixʼs wing slash and shot through its forehead, destroying its blood core as he got his thousand and six-hundredth kill.

”You must… save her… please...”

”…”

Davis became dumbfounded momentarily as he didnʼt expect Lereza to adopt a softer tone as though pleading. His expression couldnʼt help but churn, wondering if Myria and Ellia were in danger. However, he wasnʼt in a situation where he could just leave, causing him to seek more information.

”Why would I need to save her when she has probably planted many spirit formations and is having an easier time dealing with-”

”Because that hateful person has revealed himself, and the whole point of sending these Vacuous Beasts here is to make Myria vulnerable!”

”…!” Davis became shocked, his black-silver streak of lightning missing a Vacuous Beasts blood core as he faltered. It was a grayish tiger, turning around and leaping at him, but he paid it no heed and shot at the next Vacuous Beast, stabbing through its blood core as black blood splashed.

Only after killing two more Vacuous Beasts did he abruptly turn around to slaughter the savage tiger.

While he slaughtered them, he slightly glanced at Founder Alstreim Windstorm and saw that he was still there.

Could it be that ʼbastardʼ personally descended?

Davisʼs heart fell. In that case, did he even have a chance?

However, he shook his head, thinking that it could not be possible.

”Please…! If that hateful person captures her… then… then I would no longer co-operate!”

ʼWhat the- Arenʼt you openly favoring her too much?ʼ

Davis felt like Lereza was throwing a tantrum like a child.

However, this kind of worry she displayed towards Myria… It was almost like Lereza knew of Myria personally, but the latter didnʼt seem like she knew of the former, so whatʼs going on?

He couldnʼt help but grit his teeth, ”Are you sure Myria is in danger?”

”Iʼm hundred percent sure!” Lerezaʼs voice became desperate, ”A minute part of my soul is connected with the Fifty-Two Territories, and I know that a foreign entity had invaded, revealing itself at this moment!”

”Do you hear yourself?” Davis almost gawked, ”These Vacuous Beasts are also foreign en-”

”Vacuous Beasts have no souls, but that hateful person has, and anyone who can enter the Fifty-Two Territories must be at the very least at the Immortal Emperor Stage!”

”…!”

Davis almost faltered again, but he steadied himself and swung his heavenly lightning spear, cleaving the forehead of a grayish turtle into two while also destroying the blood core.

”Are you kidding me? Do you want me to commit suicide?”

He lightly yelled at Lereza. Even if he had Fallen Heaven, how was he supposed to battle against an Immortal Emperor? There was a minimum eighteen-level difference between him and an Immortal Emperor. If he went ahead and faced someone like that, it wouldnʼt be courting death but committing suicide.

”Itʼs fine! Even an Immortal Emperor would be suppressed here!”

Davisʼs eyes became bloodshot.

It wasnʼt that he didnʼt want to leave, but he if left, who was going to take care of these Vacuous Beasts?

There were still two thousand to two thousand and five hundred Vacuous Beasts surrounding them. Because of Shirley, Eldia, Nadia, and Founder Alstreim, it had become much easier to maneuver and would soon allow him to exterminate them all, but it would take time and what he exactly lacked was time as the situation suddenly turned sour!

”Fuck! Iʼll lead you all mindless beasts to that bastard!”

Davis screamed atop of his lungs as he looked at the skies, but his expression abruptly froze.
