Chapter 2229 Misty Horizons
Davis's victory over a Level Two Immortal Foundation Cultivator sent waves of incredulity and fear amidst the Dark Ironroar Palace and its fellow Territory powers.
From a safe distance, the Dark Ironroar Palace saw their immortal ancestor, whom they revered and rejoiced upon his arrival, celebrating their supremacy, had now miserably died, cooked to an optimal level, and fed to a mortal beast.
Is that how an immortal would die? Is that how an immortal is supposed to die?
They couldn't help but stare at the Emperor of Death's silhouette in the distance, their hearts heavy and palpitating without stopping.
How can a being like him exist? Just how were they supposed to exist in the sa era as him? How could they call themselves geniuses in his presence?
Those kinds of thoughts heavily weighed down on their souls, practically tempering their very wills, yet very few could tend to gain from this unexpected boon as their hearts were in dismay over their Immortal's death.
Moreover, there was a wave of terror brewing in their hearts as a magical beast exuded a terrifying presence that suppressed their souls.
Wills was the least of their concern as they didn't know if they should escape or welco death.
They occasionally turned to look at their Emperor, noticing that he was still present, watching like them. Perhaps, their Emperor staying was the only reason that they hadn't started to escape, although so were already sneaking their way out.
Davis montarily glanced at the remains of the Dark Ironroar Palace Immortal, wondering if soone would try to refine blood essence from it as he blinked.
'Well, let it be so kind of chance encounter... for soone else...'
A chance encounter with soone else's private parts?
Even Davis was feeling second-hand embarrassnt for that particular individual who was fated for it in the future. However, he was sure that people would be willing to take it and refine it as long as he left this place.
After all, an Immortal's blood essence wasn't sothing that was available even if they wanted to sell their souls for it.
Despite the negative connotations, it was a life-changing encounter!
He turned to look at Nadia, who had finally finished her transformation, opening her eyes as a purplish-golden flash erged.
Her cold wolf face lted into a big grin as she threw herself to Davis, simply licking his face.
"Ahaha... Nadia, you have reached Emperor-Tier. Excellent!"
Davis could see that she was imnsely happy, unburdened even. After all, she was always worried about not being able to follow and protect him.
There were many intricacies in the immortal cultivation realm, with prowess lowering for humans, which could only be gapped by creating a foundation, or so he heard.
But for a magical beast, he heard that their bloodline tier only increased their prowess more, centing their status as rulers of their species.
For King-Tier Immortal Beasts, the prowess they would receive is three levels above.
Therefore, if Nadia successfully retained her Emperor-Tier Bloodline upon breaking through to the Immortal Beast Stage, her prowess would be six levels higher and even reach seven levels higher because of her pure death energy!
Her happiness knew no bounds at this mont, her tongue lashing out to lick Davis to her heart's content as she whimpered in gratefulness.
Lea smiled gently at them, knowing what kind of relationship they had. In her Burning Phoenix Ridge, marriage between all the races was accepted, although it was still uncommon.
At this mont, Nadia alighted him, her head aligning with Davis's shoulder. She had certainly beco taller, but it was not comparable to what an Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beast would go through, becoming tens of ters taller.
"Shall we return back to ho?"
Davis asked when Lea pursed her lips behind her crimson veil, shaking her head.
"I think the Magical Beast Sanctuary might need so help if the Cyan Soul Rat Immortal decides to pull back from the Vast Sky Emperor Palace's Territory and later invade the Magical Beast Sanctuary."
"I don't think it will happen as there will be the threat of those two Immortals present even if the Cyan Soul Rat Immortal Beast wants to attack another Territory. However, I understand that these Cyan Soul Rats are sly, so there's a valid chance that they'll do the unexpected, catching many off-guard."
"Exactly."
Lea nodded, causing Davis to contemplate whether he should leave or not. After all, all he did was throw concentrated attacks on the Dark Ironroar Palace Immortal. He had already used up thirty-five percent of his essence energy without even unleashing techniques.
"Well, if they need help, Everlight should know to call . But just in case, I'll send an envoy in case she doesn't call because the Magical Beast Sanctuary is no longer my subordinate power."
"…" Lea kept her smile, watching him delegate tasks to certain people.
At this mont, a blonde-haired white-crimson-robed person slowly appeared beside them. Although he tried to appear indifferent as much as possible, his wide eyes kept staring at Davis, his lips twitching as though he wanted to hide his excitent.
"Founder Alstreim."
However, before Found Alstreim Windstorm could speak, Davis opened his mouth, which caused the Founder to stiffen ever so lightly.
"Do you know how many immortals could've entered the Fifty-Two Territories?"
"I'm not sure, but I know that so surviving powers have sent one or two of their own to the Fifty-Two Territories to protect the young and talented ones, just like the Jade Lotus Valley's Immortal and possibly the Glorious Pill Palace's Immortal."
Founder Alstreim Windstorm turned to look at the two female immortals, his eyes becoming contemplative.
Hearing them talk about them, the two female immortals closed the distance, although they still maintained a respectful distance from him.
"Emperor of Death, I really didn't think you were this… powerful."
"Neither did I…"
Davis saw that their tones had not only beco amicable but also reserved, causing him to turn to look at them.
"As of this mont, the number of immortals who have entered the Fifty-Two Territories so far have exceeded ten, stopping at twelve."
"Who are they all?" Founder Alstreim Windstorm raised his brows.
"Obviously, you three and the Heaven Mandate Palace's Immortal and the Heaven Gazing Sect's Immortal. Dark Moon Crow, Light Sky Wolf, and the Cyan Soul Rat Immortal Beasts."
"The dead includes Astral Light Sect, Dark Ironroar Palace, Blood Reaper Underworld, and Infernal Lightning Palace's Immortals."
Hearing Davis list the number of immortals who had entered the Fifty-Two Territories, the others frowned.
"Strange," The Glorious Pill Palace's Immortal narrowed her brows, "I saw at least fifteen immortals standing before the spatial fissures. Where's the Vast Sky Emperor Palace's Immortal?"
"I saw nine. Hasn't the Pill Refining Sect's Immortal still arrived?"
The Jade Lotus Valley's Immortal also squinted her lovely eyes, seemingly worried, "There was also an Emperor Sword Sect's Immortal, but he really seed hesitant as he's a young man who has no relation to the Fifty-Two Territories, unlike us. It was obvious he was being forced, and I thought that it was a good thing that he hadn't co, but if he had entered the spatial fissure and still hadn't arrived here, what does that an?"
"…"
Davis and the others could not provide an answer when suddenly Founder Alstreim Windstorm's voice fell.
"I personally saw three before the spatial fissures, but I know none of them. Perhaps, they're immortals of declined powers living as reclusive as
in a town or so other solitary location. The others only know
because I actively try to make relations with our righteous path powers."
"Judging by all of your words, you all traveled inside the unstable spatial fissures and safely exited. On the other hand, the other righteous path immortals who similarly entered or hesitated were nowhere to be seen, perhaps never having entered in the first place."
Davis recollected their ssage before he asked, "Am I correct?"
The three immortals gave him a nod, causing Davis to frown.
There were apparently more than thirty immortals ready to enter the Fifty-Two Territories, but only twelve made it inside. Moreover, this was only counting the righteous path's side. So what about the magical beast side and the wicked path side?
How co the droves of immortals he expected to appear didn't appear?
'It couldn't be simply because they all beca trapped within the unstable spatial fissures and are unable to leave or have died from it unfortunately collapsing, right? Or are these immortals only able to enter because they have been influenced by sothing? For example, subconsciously controlled by that bastard Myria refers to…'
Davis couldn't help but be skeptical. However, their stories aligned, causing him to accept their words for the mont.
"Then tell
this. From which Territory did you all land after exiting the spatial fissures?"
"The Territory that's called the Tripartite Alliance Territory." Founder Alstreim Windstorm didn't hesitate to answer.
"Poison Rift Valley Territory"
"The sa as her."
The Jade Lotus Valley's Immortal looked at the Glorious Pill Palace's Immortal, both nodding their heads as though they had recognized each other when they first landed.
"Also, there was also the Dark Moon Crow Immortal Beast, as you said, not to ntion the Dark Ironroar Palace's Immortal. However, we chose not to engage in conflict at that ti."
The Jade Lotus Valley's Immortal recollected, causing Davis to nod as this was also in line with how Myria encountered the Dark Moon Crow Immortal Beast while on the way to the Alstreim Family after she and him finished off the Astral Light Sect's Immortal.
'These three immortals arrived from the west and the south, which could an immortals also arrived from the north and the east, naly the Frigid World Spirit Empire Territory and the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Palace Territory.'
He wondered if there were so spirit immortals and couldn't help but imagine Nightveil's dazzling figure. He didn't know if she had co, but he hoped she survived the destruction those Vacuous Beasts caused in the First Haven World.
Nevertheless, he remained skeptical as there were too many things to consider. For all he knew, they might also be willingly controlled.
For example, reviving their loved ones.
However, Davis inwardly shook his head. How co reviving people would be so simple? He refused to believe it.
'No matter the doubt, I need to investigate these places with my avatar and Nadia's doppelganger. If I'm right, Nadia could probably even make another avatar. That's two avatars she has...'
Davis couldn't help but feel so excitent over Nadia's vast improvent. Nonetheless, he felt that it was better for him to investigate these regions using avatars while he improves his Soul Forging Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation.
No matter how strong he was, a mortal was still a mortal.
If multiple immortals attacked him and defended against his attacks, it was fated that he would be the first one to run out of energy and die.
If these three immortals ambushed him, he knew that he would more or less succumb to their onslaught, that is, only if they could work together.
Davis blandly smiled at his so-called ancestor.
"Founder, how about I first bring you to that accommodation of yours?"
"Huh...? Alright. Lead the... way."
