Divine Emperor of Death

Davis was almost overwhelmed when he managed to kill hundreds of Vacuous Beasts at the next moment. However, this one large-scale attack using death energy instantly took away ten percent of his soul force. 

It must also be known that his Everlasting Samsara Tribunal Soul produced reincarnation energy in default, so when he caused splitting to take place in order to produce death energy, he was able to produce two times the amount of death energy with ten percent of his soul force.

So what should've cost him twenty percent of his soul force cost only ten percent, and this could be said to be an advantage but also well in line with using reincarnation energy that takes more energy than life or death energy!

For a few moments, his surrounding turned empty as the death energy either disintegrated their carcasses or surviving remains plunged towards the surface, further encumbering the Vacuous Beasts that were trying to gorge him without regard for their own safety.

Davis raised both his hands, pointing them at an incoming grayish dragon and phoenix. Two points of deathly energy formed on the tip of his index fingers, swirling into a concentrated point before they were abruptly unleashed.

'Death Ray!'

*Puchi!~*

Blood didn't even splash from the black ray that penetrated their heads. The two Vacuous Beasts simply lost the bloodthirstiness in their eyes as their momentum fell, their gigantic figures plunging towards the ground.

*Puchi!~* *Puchi!~* *Puchi!~*

Three hundred and sixty-two, three hundred and sixty-five, Three hundred and sixty-nine…

A stream of deathly energy filled the skies as Davis's hands kept moving without a stop as he kept firing Death Rays, killing Vacuous Beasts in an instant as his attacks pierced their head.

He didn't use Death Fiend's Palm nor Heaven Cleaving Abyss as they not only consumed more energy but wouldn't be able to target many heads at the same time. Instead, he used a less concentrated version of Death Ray enough to pierce their heads, killing them in an instant.

However, just because he targeted their heads didn't mean they would die as zombies did.

After killing so many beasts, Davis finally found their weakness. It was a blood core they had deep in their brains. He didn't know what kind of use it had, but he couldn't afford to be careless or greedy at the moment, destroying those blood cores with precise accuracy as he killed them off one by one or many at the same time.

Of course, the dragons and turtles needed more soul force compared to phoenixes and other Vacuous Beasts, although there was only a decimal point difference in consumption percentage. Nonetheless, as he kept killing many of these Vacuous Beasts as he punctured their heads, his soul force was steadily decreasing.

*Roar!!~*

Davis missed the vital point of a grayish dragon, causing him to narrow his eyes.

The jaws of the grayish dragon surrounded him whole and shut down on him, swallowing him into its stomach. However, the grayish dragon abruptly started to give off immense steam before dark crimson flames erupted out of its body.

A blazing figure shot out of it, crackling with black-silver lightning around him as they quickly enlarged into a terrifying net, forming a ten thousand meters long lightning cage again that held back the Vacuous Beasts from infringing into his space ever so lightly.

*Puchi!~*

Davis raised both his hands and unleashed Death Rays at the incoming beasts. Each shot took a life with ease, and this time, he concentrated on the monstrous grayish rabbit that was the fastest out of them all. It didn't try to defend, but its speed alone was enough to cause him to miss, which caused him to waste more time on it.

He waited for it to appear close before a stream of deathly light took the life of that monstrous rabbit, its blood-red eyes becoming dull as it plunged.

'It's a pity that they don't have souls. Otherwise, my death energy would be even more efficient...'

Davis frowned a bit while his hands kept moving, constantly accumulating more carcasses to his kill count.

Finding himself at a bit of ease as he became used to their movements, he flew around the larger dragon after being cornered. 

The Vacuous Beasts didn't even know how to not target their own allies, taking an immense bite of the dragon that was unable to catch him, ripping apart a huge chunk of it every time they tried to eat him. They were unable to catch him as he was faster than them, rushing around like a fly even though he was a bolt of lightning.

Because of being unable to differentiate, the Vacuous Beasts also constantly bumped and rammed into each other, roaring in pain before moving their gazes to him. They were unable to cooperate or even have some sort of coordination, which caused him to have more leeway than he expected. 

For this reason, he was also able to regain some energy he lost as he kept absorbing the Immortal Crystals and the Soul Essence of Infernal Lightning Palace's Immortal.

This minute leeway even caused his mind to wander.

'Shirley can hold on her own, even kill Founder Alstreim if need be with her combination of Ice and Fire Laws...'

Davis didn't look anxious at all while battling. Although he was slightly worried, he had more faith in Shirley to traverse the world as she strung along with Myria for a while back when she first entered the Fifty-Two Territories, not to mention her current strength that could even have him heaving for breath slightly. 

Surely, she would know how to make decisions based on risks and importance.

He was more worried about Lea, but since she was a Sect Master with vast experience of surviving the dangers of the world, not to mention Shirley going along with her, he was slightly more assured.

If Founder's target really was Myria, then he was screwed either way, for Davis had more faith in Myria's ability to protect herself. However, there was even more of a precarious situation that he was aware of at the moment.

That is… what if the Territory Fog in the farthest edges of the Fifty-Two Territories disappeared?

Wouldn't the hundreds and thousands of Vacuous Beasts he saw descending from the Calamity Light enter the Fifty-Two Territories? 

For some reason, only Level One Immortal Vacuous Beasts had been able to enter the Fifty-Two Territories. 

If more Vacuous Beasts that descended on the First Haven World were to turn around and enter the Fifty-Two Territories, even if it were just a few of them, he knew without a doubt that the entire Fifty-Two Territories would be completely decimated within a few hours at the very least!

That was how precarious, no, the calamitous the situation was!

*Bang!~*

The bloodthirsty eyes of a giant grayish turtle exploded as Davis slapped its humongous face once it got close enough as he unleashed the Death Fiend's Palm, causing death energy to leak out of its sockets.

This was his five hundredth kill!

For a moment, Davis didn't dare believe he had killed five hundred immortals as a mortal!

Although they were all dumb, these were still immortal existences!

However, his expression suddenly changed.

Simultaneously, he received a piece of news from the All-Seeing Emperor that made his eyes shoot wide open, finally understanding how these Vacuous Beasts the Fifty-Two Territories in the first place, but he also couldn't help but doubt his thoughts, wondering what if he heard was right as this could mean the destruction of the Fifty-Two Territories.
