Chapter 29: Grand Sea Continent
A month passed from the time the invasion ended.
Davis managed to explain that he and a prisoner teamed up to kill the assassin. He explained it in a way that implied that he knew the prisoner and somehow befriended him before the assassination attempt.
He said that the assassin and the prisoner managed to stab each other when he attacked the assassin's soul, which made the assassin an easier target.
Although his parents had their suspicions about the whole scenario, they did not cast much suspicion on him, and neither did they even doubt if he was the one behind the massacre of the two million-plus soldiers.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
Not even one person connected the while massacre to Davis, and neither did they have enough evidence to link that Davis and that mysterious senior was one and the same person.
After all, the massacre of two million people occurring in their sight without even making much of a sound other than that single amplified heartbeat was only a feat only capable of powers unknown to them. They were even thankful for this miraculous event and wouldn't dare to doubt the authenticity one bit.
That is the effect that one could achieve with absolute power!
Davis hadn't managed to kill those two Emperors because he guessed that their Soul Forging Cultivation was way more powerful than him. He didn't want to fail, only to be backtraced. Hence, he made sure to kill the two million-plus soldiers at the same time to create a deterrent effect.
And just as he thought, the two Emperors turned tail and fled without much of surprise.
The Loret Empire gradually managed to gain peace while the Raven Empire and Tritor Empire were caught up in the flames of war, temporarily invaded by the other Empires.
Logan managed to establish his authority once again, so no one would dare to test his authority anymore, not even the two Sky Grade Sect Leaders who were in the Loret Empire.
Claire felt eternally grateful to the mysterious senior who had managed to make them cross this calamity. This was even more so when she realized that she would soon give birth to a child and was expectantly looking forward to it.
Rumors spread about the extremely powerful and mysterious senior throughout the Grand Sea Continent. They even dared to make claims whether if the mysterious senior was an Immortal existence, which the people strived to reach for in their entire lives.
At that point, no one was sure if that person was related to the Loret Empire or not by any chance, and no one dared to test it either.
All the surrounding Empires personally announced that they would soon visit Loret Empire, except the Raven Empire and Tritor Empire. After all, they were more than convinced that they would face their deaths after arriving at the Loret Empire.

Davis wandered into the study as he sighed a lot these days.
He had a lot to think about the massacre he performed that day. He only killed a single life before, so he was feeling down for a whole month but eventually came out of it.
He eventually understood that he would have to kill a lot of people in this world to climb up the hierarchy ladder to protect himself and the people he cared about.
Davis nodded, and they both headed to the Throne Hall.
They reached the Throne Hall and sat on their seats. Logan was seated on the throne while Davis sat beside him on a small seat. The Empress's seat was empty as Claire was nowhere to be seen.
Claire chose to stay in her quarters since she was seven months pregnant. Clearly, there was no need for her to attend.
Clara was with Claire, although it was unknown whether she was sleeping peacefully with an adorable face or playing with all her strength.
"Davis, let me give you a heads up. Other than those two empires who invaded us, there are five more empires in this continent." Logan explained, afraid that Davis didn't know who and all were visiting.
"I know, father. I've seen the continental map before, and my geography tutor had rather made me learn almost all the important locations." Davis grinned.
"Oh? Good, then explain what the other four Empires are in our Grand Sea Continent?" Logan tested him.
"Yes, mhm... Although there are many low-grade self-proclaimed empires between all seven of us in this Grand Sea Continent, I'll not mention them. From our position, the Ruth Empire is on the South, while the Ashton Empire is at the North West. West of us is the Ross Empire, and in the East is the Claymore Empire." Davis explained.
"Yes, you are right. The Ruth Empire's royalty has the Dragon Bloodline.
Legend has it that a Flood Dragon had been buried there a long time ago, and it has formed as an inheritance for the Imperialty of that Empire." Logan continued.
"The Ashton Empire is adept at destruction as they use fire-attributed Cultivation Techniques. The Ross Empire uses water-attributed Cultivation Techniques. And for that sole reason, they are at each other's throats whenever they have the chance..." Logan smiled.
He let out a chuckle as he continued, "The Claymore Empire uses swords as their main weapons, but they are not picky with the type of cultivation manuals. They are highly skilled at using swords and rumored to have even reached the realm of so-called Sword Intent."
Suddenly, Logan's face changed to a baleful expression, "The Raven Empire has the bloodline of the Dark Raven, and it is rumored to be equal in power to the Flood Dragon. It is in the North and is currently warring with the Ashton Empire to defend their territory."
His face had changed to a gleeful expression as he said that.
"The Tritor Empire specializes in dark-attributed cultivation techniques; in other words, they train in wicked and despicable cultivation methods. They have all kinds of Cultivation Techniques that lean on the dark side. One that absorbs blood from others, ones that plunder essence energy from others, ones that even supplement yang by plundering yin and vice versa."
"They are in the North East. Hehe, they are also currently in war with the Claymore Empire!"
"Serves both of those bastards right!"
Anger surfaced on his face at the mention of those two wretched characters.
'I will have my revenge! Raven Emperor and Tritor Emperor, you bastards, just wait for it!'
Logan's eyes were full of hatred.
"Don't worry, father. You will have your revenge soon! I know it!" Davis smiled comfortingly, but hidden behind his smile was also a deep hatred.
Enmity had been formed, and his first two targets were already decided! Emperor Raven and Emperor Tritor, two Fifth Stage Powerhouses right off the bat!
