Chapter 2149

Back then, Davis had surveyed the three layers and the connection the Twelve Vile Vortices held to Twelve Territories in this layer and concluded that it could be a giant formation interwoven through the thin fabric of space, even praising the world master in his heart for such ingenuity.

However, to think that the Fifty-Two Territories itself was a giant formation, he became momentarily desensitized with the world he was living in. After all, to create a formation that spans a light year, almost about ten trillion kilometers, what kind of existence was this master of the world?

Moreover, from Myria's words, it was apparently a protective formation. If it weren't for her words, he would suspect that it is a sealing formation instead, one that was even double-layered or even triple-layered from not having Fallen Heaven escape.

While Davis was feeling some dread, the other ladies were utterly dumbfounded as Myria's words slowly made sense to them.

In other words, the Fifty-Two Territories they lived in were nothing but a small piece of land enclosed by a protective formation. The true First Layer was a vast world, perhaps spanning extremely wide that their imaginations couldn't catch up.

The only reason they could see the changes above was that the Calamity Light was perhaps locked onto this massive protective formation but unable to penetrate, causing those immortal beasts to head in different directions, perhaps trying to look for a way inside?

When they thought of it like this, it made sense.

Moreover, Evelynn also could tell that when Misteltae was living, there was probably no protective formation as Misteltae was unaware of the Fifty-Two Territories, but she couldn't be too sure, considering that this place is protected and the cultivators outside couldn't possibly know that there are people living here like turtles living in their shells in case if it was also hidden.

In any case, Evelynn and the others came to possess a basic understanding of what they were dealing with, but they couldn't help but feel stifled. For those immortal beasts to descend already, each looking bigger than the other, their hearts clenched as they looked at Myria, the apparent source for all this trouble.

Would their man abandon her because she was a huge burden?

“What? Forming an alliance with me seems hopeless, doesn't it?”

Myria shot a glance at Davis's women, causing them to lower their heads. She smiled, knowing that these little girls possibly couldn't withstand the visual impact that they had seen just now. Even now, the millions of those mortal realm beasts still floated in the skies, moving slowly because they weren't as fast as those massive immortal level beasts.

It was frightening to witness such a scene and stay calm.

However, she couldn't help but suddenly frown as some women still matched her gaze as though there wasn't the guilty thought of abandoning her in their hearts.

However, she understood that it was the woman she personally helped.

“As long as Ellia is there in you, Davis won't abandon you.”

Evelynn smiled genially while Natalya closed her eyes and looked away, looking a bit reluctant.

“We thank you for the knowledge you imbued us with, but you better don't think of moving against us because it won't end well for you.”

“…”

Myria stared at them with narrowed brows before she couldn't help but shake her head.

“It's the opposite. If you people think of betraying me at a certain junction, things won't end well for you all.”

“What did you say…!?”

Natalya enclosed her fists, looking like she was about to attack for doubting Davis's character, but Shirley and Isabella held her back, causing Natalya to clench her teeth before she harrumphed and stopped, knowing that she couldn't possibly beat Myria in a battle.

Meanwhile, Davis couldn't help but chuckle at Natalya's actions. She still held some resentment towards Myria because Myria was the one who said that Davis had to abandon her in order for her to grow in her cultivation path. Although it was unjustified resentment that lingered, Davis smiled as this petty action helped him regain his thoughts from the overwhelming weight of the burden he carried.

“Is the bastard that's after you a beast tamer?”

He looked at Myria and grabbed her attention, causing her to nod her head.

“However, one doesn't need to be a beast tamer to enslave beasts, but this is different. Let's just say that bastard ingeniously connected a tunnel from the void and connected it here, allowing those beasts to descend.”

“…”

Davis's brows narrowed, “What do you mean?”

The others also couldn't help but frown, wondering what Myria was talking about again.

Weren't these immortal beasts belonging to that vile character who is targeting Myria for unknown reasons?

Myria also paused, pursing her lips for a few seconds as though she didn't want to answer, but in the end, she still formulated her words and spoke.

“They're called Vacuous Beasts.”

“Vac- what?” Davis raised his brows in response, causing Myria to explain.

“You could say that they're similar to the feys that had gone berserk, savage, and mindless. However, different than these mindless savage beasts, these beasts have no soul, and hence vacant; vacuous beasts.”

“N-no souls!?”

Davis's mouth went agape as his heart instantly sank.

The only thing that he could be happy about the descent of these so-called vacuous beasts was that he had ultra, duplex, complex, massive large free meals heading for him, but now, he was being told that they had no souls?

If they had no soul, then how could he absorb their soul essence!?

Davis's expression became slightly unsightly, as though he had cultivation deviation.

“You seem like you're deeply troubled by it.”

But abruptly, Myria's voice woke him up out of his reverie, causing him to blandly smile.

Myria stared at his expression and felt somewhat elated that he had a face like that, making her smile lightly before shaking her head, “Don't worry, only pure soul attacks that attack the soul don't work on them. Soul to physical attacks still work on them, so we can still use our powerful soul force to battle them.”

'That's not what I'm worried about…'

Davis thought, but he heaved a deep breath, looking relieved. He felt like he had to take the loss at this moment to hide the fact that he was worried about not being able to absorb soul essence to break through faster.

This foreign feeling of being faced with soulless beasts was ripping apart his heart, but he maintained a calm face and asked.

“So what're these vacuous beasts have to with that bastard? If they have no souls, how are they being controlled?”

“That's the point. They're not being controlled. They aren't even targeting me.”

“What?”

Myria shook her head as she spoke, causing Davis to become confused.

She's not saying this just to take the heat or blame away from her, right?

“These vacuous beasts don't even procreate like those mindless savage beasts. Their reason for existing is just pure destruction. After all, they're a complete source of a scourge in the immortal world I know, although that may have changed with the amount of time that had passed.”

“Then if they're not searching for you, then why did that bastard send them here by connecting a tunnel from the void?”

“That's why I don't understand why that bastard would let these vacuous beasts here… unless…”

Myria's eyes couldn't help but narrow as she turned to look at the clear skies. The millions of mortal level vacuous beasts had cleared the skies in a few minutes, fading into the horizons, but the Calamity Light still existed, lingering with an ominous dark glint.

At the Calamity Light, the wicked-looking eye was faint, but it could still see the vacuous beasts it sent ignoring the Fifty-Two Territories as though it didn't exist and descending onto the First Haven World, starting to wreak havoc on an enormous scale.

An immense battle began to take place, but to the eye, it seemed not interested as though it was of little to no importance.

“As expected… it's a failure. Almost nothing would happen to the location that Myria is in if I didn't personally descend, and I could but with that… that- damn it!!! This leaves me no choice but to make my second move… curses…”

An enraged voice echoed before the wicked eye disappeared, leaving the Calamity Light utterly silent again.

“Unless what?”

Below, Davis couldn't help but ask as he saw Myria pause for a long while. She turned to look at him, but her face was incredibly solemn.

“That bastard got impeded by that existence… somehow…”

“…!”

Myria's tone was unsure, but Davis's pupils dilated.

Why would the world master do something like that? Was Myria actually suggesting that the world master was on their side?
