Chapter 2263 Gruesome World
"How is the Calamity Light disappearing inevitable?"
Davis asked again in a curious tone, causing Myria to suck in some fresh air lightly.
"The world master is obviously stronger than him and doesn't let anyone invade their world from what we've heard so far, but if that grand character didn't interfere all this time, then what do you think happened?"
"..."
"It means the karmic backlash is no longer a problem."
"Explain in mortal terms please..."
"If we're existences who are recognized as Anarchic Divergents, then this world master is... something far more superior to us. The amount of karmic burden that grand person possesses is so high that it is not good for someone to even mention that existence-"
"Then shouldn't we shut up?"
"This kind of karmic burden has little to no effect on an Immortal Emperor but for an Immortal, it is still significant and for Immortal Kings, wouldn't carelessly speak on it, but we are not normal people. We're Divergents, so the karmic burden we would receive is comparatively less but still heavy. However, we already incurred karmic burden regarding the world master, so it's no use keeping quiet, but we can't head further into details unless we become powerful."
"If you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. To withstand the abyss's gaze, you must be as strong as the threat the abyss sends."
Davis nodded in understanding. However, he didn't interrupt her this time, waiting for her to continue.
"No matter the world master's intentions, it is indeed true that the world master aided me in entering this world, incurring boundless karmic burden for millions of years. Because of that burden, it is not advisable for that grand character to act and kill him who arrived here in order to get me, but since he failed many times and used up the grace granted by that karmic burden weighing on the world master, the world master no longer need to tolerate his presence."
"That bastard also knew of it, and no longer bothered to hunt me down anymore knowing that he was at a massive disadvantage, especially when he has internal injuries of sacrificing blood and soul essence to control the Immortal King Vacuous Beast."
"Ah, so that's why he was so mad at me, cursing me for an eternity and choosing to wisely retreat... you've dealt with someone like him in your past?"
Davis's lips twitched while Myria's lips became slightly curved.
"He's just one of many..."
"What-" Davis flinched in shock, "It can't be..."
If there are others like him on the level of using top-tier Supreme Laws, how was he supposed to battle against them by his own powers?
It made him wonder if the Fifty-Two Territories Grand Formation was collapsing, but even Lereza said that she didn't know about its current state. Her reason was that she was just a monitoring existence and not a controlling or protecting existence and that there was almost nothing she could do to protect the Fifty-Two Territories.
That's why she badly requested his help, although Myria might be a major reason for that.
Nonetheless, he arrived at the Heaven Mandate Temple Territory, causing his expression to change as he saw a Vacuous Beast swallow an entire town right underneath its maws as it rammed into the town.
His figure rushed forwards to that Vacuous Beast, rushing past it as a burst of heavenly lightning penetrated through its head.
The Vacuous Beast's bloodthirsty eyes became dull but when Davis turned to look behind, he saw that he was too late. The Vacuous Beast had already devoured hundreds and thousands of people and the remaining ones were unable to withstand the pressure of its might and exploded.
Even Eighth Stage Experts seemed to have ruptured, leaving their remnant undulations and blood behind, almost forming a bloody stream.
Davis stared at the town for a few moments for any survivors, but there were none, causing his brows to twitch as he launched himself into the skies while releasing his tyrannical undulations. His actions caused the Vacuous Beasts in the Heaven Mandate Temple Territories and surrounding Territories to approach him with provoked roars.
Five minutes later, Davis, Nadia, and Eldia caused a bloodbath to occur as they killed around six hundred Level One Immortal Vacuous Beasts.
Not wasting any time, they left, but when Davis rushed past the Heaven Mandate Temple; he stopped and surveyed the ruined lands. Even the floating islands didn't seem to have any population left living, appearing like abandoned islands, while the palaces were all destroyed beyond compare.
There was no sign of the Karmic Guardian Emperor being alive, nor a sign of the Mandate Emperor being alive.
But at one certain spatial point, he found an anomaly.
'A mini-realm, huh...'
Davis wondered if they were alive in there and hoped so, but for the other billions of people?
He looked around as his soul sense spread, taking in the scenery of utter devastation and the air of slaughter reeking in the air.
This Large-Sized Territory had a population in the hundred billion, but in his vicinity and a few cities away, he could not see any survivors.
Only at a distance could he detect human life but even then, the population was only in the millions, and some places untouched, but they were all trembling in fear or excitement, perhaps because they had seen the projection of thousand of these Vacuous Beasts being burned into ciders of nothingness in the skies of the Vital Tempering Sect Territory.
Davis came to know about the projections and scoffed at the All-Seeing Emperor, thinking that fey was a smart-ass bird, increasing both their reputations by a wide margin in one shot.
However, he was assured that it was not for him as everything was about money to the All-Seeing Emperor, but would he be able to remain calm and make money amidst the apocalyptic numbers of the dead?
Lowering his head in derision, Davis flew towards the Astral Light Sect Territory.
