Chapter 2253: The Chasing

*Whoos.h.!.+~*

In the skies of the Dual Lotus Manor Territory, two crimson-robed women arrived as they came to a stop. Their expressions were solemn, their eyes squinting as they tracked down the remnant immortal undulations spread in the air. Even though the air was chaotic with immortal undulations all over the place, they were tracking a human aura, which stood out amidst the remnant aura of the Vacuous Beasts when specifically checked.

"That way!"

s.h.i.+rley pointed towards the east. She had her fair share of tracking down enemies and killing them in the day of traveling with Myria, but this time, she was tracking an immortal, so she kept her senses on high alert.

However, her brows widened because she saw that it was in the direction of the Burning Phoenix Ridge.

"That's perfect too." Lea's brows squinted as she shot towards the east, "We can save the Burning Phoenix Ridge this way. Let's make haste."

s.h.i.+rley also followed suit. However, she wondered why the trail led diagonally, directly towards the direction of the Burning Phoenix Ridge.

'Right he might be trying to avoid the other immortals to the north or the Vacuous Beasts from the south...'

s.h.i.+rley had little doubt that the Vacuous Beasts were causing utter destruction to the wicked path region at the moment. Although it was a region filled with wickedness, there were still mortal villages and towns that were innocent. She couldn't help but feel sorry for them as she pursed her lips.

That was all she could do or risk a barrage from all sides, causing her fists to clench.

Without the Territory Fog impeding them, they quickly arrived at the outskirts of the Burning Phoenix Ridge. However, what they saw caused their eyes to widen as they saw the ruins of the sect.

The Crimson Ridge Gate was utterly destroyed, the mountains were devastated, and the crimson palaces floating above the mountains were all in a state of ruin. The region was utterly devastated, without a doubt!

However, what caused them to be shocked wasn't the ruins but the three carca.s.ses of the Vacuous Beasts garnis.h.i.+ng the ruins, their black blood continuing to spill over the scarlet mountains. Above those three carca.s.ses was a crimson-white robed man with narrowed eyes.

He looked around cautiously, and the immortal undulations he was releasing were minute as though that person didn't want to attract attention.

The crimson-white robed man abruptly caught sight of s.h.i.+rley and Lea as they were also releasing subtle undulations as they could to stay clear of the Vacuous Beasts when his eyes went wide in joy.

"Ah, Sect Master Lea Weiss. Goodness gracious, you finally arrived. Now I can leave Ancestor Cornelia and the sect in your hands and go protect my descendant as much as I could!"

Founder Alstreim Windstorm approached Lea and s.h.i.+rley, causing them to adopt a battle posture as they raised their hands.

""

It caused Founder Alstreim Windstorm to stop as he blinked. However, his lips curved into an amused smile before he diagonally rushed past them, heading towards Davis's location.

s.h.i.+rley and Lea turned around as they watched the Founder leave with agape mouths, not understanding what had just happened.

"Lea, I'm incredibly worried." s.h.i.+rley instantly shot a look to her side, "You stay low with the Burning Phoenix Ridge as much as you could. I'll follow the Founder and help Davis while I'm at it!"

"Wait!"

s.h.i.+rley's crimson figure flashed as she appeared in the distance while Lea had her hand raised.

Her hand still hung in the air, appearing to not know what to do in this confusing yet calamitous situation. At this moment, another crimson-robed figure appeared in the air, arriving beside her.

Lea turned to look around, spotting Ancestor Cornelia.

"Ancestor, I'm-"

"Ah, don't worry about it. Little Lea, I should've let you go long ago, but it is me who keeps burdening you to protect the sect, all because I'm weak."

Ancestor Cornelia had a hint of remorse in her old voice. However, her old voice suddenly bloomed.

"Fortunately, just as I was about to sacrifice the last bit of my vitality as I tried to take those savage beasts away, the Alstreim Family's Founder arrived and saved me. He took down those three savage beasts right before they could harm our disciples and elders who entered underground. Otherwise"

Ancestor Cornelia's body trembled, not daring to imagine the consequences. However, Lea was shocked. Her findings were relayed from her Solitary Soul Avatar to s.h.i.+rley's Solitary Soul Avatar back in the Mortal Hex Emperor Purple Palace, causing s.h.i.+rley's main body to become shocked as well.

Although this could result could be derived from the three carca.s.ses severed into several chunks as though done by sharp and smooth wind blades, they wonder why exactly Founder Alstreim would leave his Family and even Davis's side to help the Burning Phoenix Ridge.

'It couldn't be that the Alstreim Family's Founder fell in love with Ancestor Cornelia, right?'

They both thought at the same time as they knew that he respected Ancestor Cornelia to a fault. However, they didn't dare believe their own thoughts as they shook their heads.

Could it be one-sided in the past?

They still shook their heads, not wanting to think about it at the moment.

Lea decided to remain at the Burning Phoenix Ridge for a short time until she could clear the vicinity of Vacuous Beasts, allowing the sect to go completely dark as they left for the underground, while s.h.i.+rley followed Founder Alstreim all the way to his destination before she could no longer stomach watching the scene in front of her.

=======

A black-silver ray of lightning constantly weaved through the hundreds of Vacuous Beasts right in its vicinity while thousands were trying to enter its range and have a full piece of them.

This ray of black-silver lightning was none other than Davis, exploding with concentrated death energy and heavenly lightning to kill the Vacuous Beasts. Even heavenly flames occasionally burst into the skies, causing ashes to spread in the air.

Sometimes, he disappeared into thin air, causing the Vacuous Beasts to lose their target as they roared at his last seen location before turning around, and just as they tried to leave, he would reappear and slaughter them as he unleashed dozens of Death Rays in three seconds.

The dumb Vacuous Beasts who sensed his undulations would try to devour him as they had just discovered him, weaving through the compet.i.tion, sometimes b.u.mping into each other or ramming heavily into disorientation only to have their heads pierced and their blood cores destroyed.

Even when he routinely used this strategy at a rate enough to keep the Vacuous Beasts from leaving, the dumb Vacuous Beasts fell for the same trick again and again. However, it was an incredible boon to Davis, who barely kept his essence energy and soul force afloat above thirty percent while unleas.h.i.+ng large-scale attacks with heavenly lightning and heavenly fire while using concentrated attacks with death energy.

However, because he attracted the entirety of the Vacuous Beasts in the majority of the human race's Territories, little did he know that the entire human race's attention was on him.

It was a masterstroke of the All-Seeing Emperor, who used the broadcasting pillars of the Nine Western Territories Compet.i.tion that was held in the nearby Twilight Physician Hall Territory to capture the terrifying battle happening in the distance!

The people could see Vacuous Beasts fall with an entire corpse, sometimes burned or heads exploded, but that didn't matter as they could also see carca.s.ses piling up like they were mountain ranges. The ridiculous look they gave at the big projections placed in their cities that were free of Vacuous Beasts was full of disbelief, watching a tiny streak of black-silver lightning flash as it took down one Vacuous Beast after another.

"This this is an illusion, right?" A man with sunken cheeks couldn't help but ask, his voice sounding full of disbelief.

"Fool! Didn't those savage beasts just fly over our city? Did you not feel the threat of death!? The aura of absolute pressure that only an immortal of the legends could possibly be capable of!?"

Another man with a sword strapped on his back angrily echoed, seemingly enraged at the other party for not being able to recognize the situation.

"But"

Just as the man with sunken cheeks trembled, a woman from the crowd screamed.

"Those are the beasts from the Calamity Light. They've finally descended, intending to destroy the world!"

"...!"

Everybody felt an intense chill creeping up their spines.

In that case, did that mean the Emperor of Death was taking on the thousands of Vacuous Beasts by himself?

However, little did they know that in the Eastern Territories, an icy-blue woman sat inside an enclosed s.p.a.ce, still radiating with her undulations after flying around the Nine Eastern Territories as she attracted thousands of Vacuous Beasts.

They were all onto her, their immense pressure causing the s.p.a.ce to churn askew. However, before they could even get within a kilometer of her, a ray of bright light flashed from above, incinerating the Vacuous Beast's head in an instant.

There was not only one such beam but tens of them shooting light rays with intensity and precision, quickly destroying their blood cores!

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

Her killing rate was at an amazing ten Vacuous Beasts per second, and the moment the Vacuous Beasts surrounded her, a wave of light radiance filled the skies, causing the bloodthirsty eye-sockets to burn and seep through, causing utter destruction to their heads while vastly increasing her killing rate for that particular second!

If some escaped, she raised her hand, and a streak of death energy penetrated their heads and finished them off, leaving none alive!

Like this, she acc.u.mulated hundreds of carca.s.ses every ten seconds. However

"Mhm This Killing Spirit Formation: Pentagram Light Radiance Shower won't hold on for much longer. Time to move to another spirit formation..."

Her lips didn't display a smile but remained expressionless as she spoke and thought about the preparations she made for this day right until she narrowed her eyes and looked into the distance amidst the sea of grayish flesh, noticing a crimson-white robed immortal hovering with a blatant smile on their face.

"It's really been a long time, Saintess Myria."

"b.a.s.t.a.r.d, it's you..."

Myria's pupils dilated as her white hair hovered in mid-air, her calm facade fading as immense hatred surged in her eyes.
