Chapter 1998: Devastating Blow
"Emperor of Death, we swear that we are not after that treasure you mentioned. All we need is to cap-"
"What if that treasure is the source of the Calamity Light?" Davis coldly asked as his head swiveled in the Mandate Emperor’s direction.
"..."
The Mandate Emperor became stunned. In that case, would they be willing to give it to this young man?
He recalled that the Karmic Guardian Emperor said that the source was Myria. However, his words were: My artifact noted that the source we were searching for is coming from that woman.
It could mean that it was Myria herself or something she possessed.
After all, due to her peculiarity about mastery in many laws, which should be mostly impossible for a young person, they instantly determined that she was a reincarnator and later found her to be the source. But now, there was also the possibility of a treasure she possessed being the source.
The Mandate Emperor didn’t know what to do.
Unfortunately, that little amount of hesitation caused Davis’s expression to steel and his gaze to become increasingly cold.
"Evelynn, Nadia. Prepare for war."
He raised his hand, greyish-black soul force surging out that had countless hearts tremble in panic. The powerhouses of the righteous path were no different.
At the same time, Evelynn stood at the forefront, her third eye-opening to cause countless lives to shudder in fear while a layer of pitch-black energy covered the Alstreim Family’s seating area. Davis people were completely defended by Nadia and Evelynn that no dared to get near, but even intentionally distanced themselves.
At the same time, Lea disappeared and reappeared in the Mystic Ice Sect’s seating area, her scarlet flames forming a protective barrier that blocked the Astral Light Sect’s Grand Elders from harming the Mystic Ice Sect maidens!
Sect Master Bing Luli and the others were shocked and helpless at first, but realizing that Sect Master Lea Weiss had accepted Davis’s proposal of love, they heaved a sigh of relief. On the other hand, Ancestor Cornelia and the other Grand Elders of the Burning Phoenix Ridge protected their own!
"Emperor of Death, what is the meaning of this!?"
The Mandate Emperor completely panicked.
Even Myria’s supposed weakness was protected by Sect Master Lea Weiss, who could essentially be said to be Davis’s fiancee.
The calm expression of Myria’s was already eerie, but now, if they were to face the Emperor of Death and his powerful people, they would be doomed before they could make a move because of his mysterious killing arts. Moreover, even if they could kill him, it would be a huge loss to the human race, one that is enough to push them into desperate straits when the calamity truly arrived!
Davis refused to speak another word, his death energy surging out like a raging tide of darkness. Myria was also looked indifferent to the scene, but inside her soul sea, there was a constant sound of wailing and sobbing.
"Myria...! Please listen to him...!"
Ellia’s pleading voice echoed inside Myria. The latter saw that the grand formation had almost finished collecting energy, ready to blast her into oblivion, but she ruminated that they wouldn’t go to such lengths unless they were sure that killing her could destroy or delay the Calamity Light.
"Sigh, he can protect you when it’s time, but he’s so eager to turn the world against him in order to protect you."
Myria’s voice was complex before her eyes calmly blinked once.
"Since you asked me to stay my hand, I will try."
Myria put her hand down.
"Young man, Ellia doesn’t need your help. Stay your hand and watch."
A soul transmission fell on Davis’s mind when he suddenly saw a ray of blue light emerge from Myria’s figure.
Looking at it, the Mandate Emperor’s pupils fiercely constricted.
"Now!"
*Bzzz!~*
The ray of light surging above the formation launched a blazing attack against Myria. It plunged like a Damocles sword, intending to blast her into oblivion. However, the ray of blue light that emerged from Myria turned into a distinct shape of a bird and struck the raining beam of light.
*Bang!~*
Space collapsed above Myria, causing countless spatial tears to appear all over the battle stage, outside of the powerhouses range.
The air instantly chilled, causing the people of the New Era Battle Arena to shiver.
Davis was about to attack, combining his prowess with Myria’s, but the instant he was about to do so, he saw a fifty-meter tall icy-blue silhouette defend against the attack.
As the aftermath of the clash slowly receded, he saw that Myria was unharmed, her expression unchanging. However, his eyes were starkly fixed on a bird with majestic icy-blue wings flapping in mid-air.
Its icy-blue eyes shone with a sharp glint. The numerous layers of feathers on its body possessed a deep chill and a bewitching beauty, especially its three tail feathers stretching a long distance. It had a wide wingspan longer than its height, but its aura caused everyone to feel that they were going to freeze to death.
*Screech!~*
It let out a piercing cry, sounding angered!
"Ice Phoenix!!!"
Davis shouted in sheer astonishment. Following him, many also screamed what he said as they closed their ears, feeling painful, but their eyes were wide open, their gaze glued to its sheer beauty.
The Mandate Emperor’s expression became unsightly. He knew that Myria possessed Ice Phoenix Flames when she battled in the Seventh Stage Segment but to actually possess an extinct magical beast like the Ice Phoenix, did she find a complete immortal inheritance!?
Then what about Clara!?
Myria didn’t say anything, but at this moment, numerous spatial vortexes appeared above the New Era Battle Arena. Accurately, there were five of them, and they stretched hundreds of meters wide.
"...!?"
The people who witnessed this scene became aghast.
Was the Calamity Light already descending on them so soon? Why? Because they chose to aggravate the source?
*Boom!~*
A humongous leg stepped out of the spatial vortex. It appeared like an elephant leg and possessed a turquoise hue to it. When it completely exited amidst the resounding silence, the people were dumbstruck, some of them even collapsing to their butts.
They saw it possessed a colossal structure of a giant mammoth, stretching a hundred and fifty meters long while its trunk was also massively big. Its big yet unmoving eyes were completely looking down on them.
However, they witnessed similar scenes over the four other spatial vortexes.
A huge four-legged ox burning with purplish-red flames stepped out, its crimson eyes surveying its surroundings with an excited gaze. There was the appearance of another four-legged magical beast. It possessed two azure wings, and descriptions would fit a cougar, its posture laying low with its green eyes looking for worthy prey.
Violet lightning flashed, and a hundred and a twenty-meter long serpent with purple scales slithered out of its spatial vortex. Its terrifying purple eyes looked around, coldly watching with pride visible in its gaze.
Finally, an obsidian-shelled turtle also appeared, its size small, only around thirty meters in diameter. However, its crystal shell that was obsidian radiated an immense might that overshadowed all others!
The Mandate Emperor’s pupils had severely constricted that it didn’t return to normal for a certain amount of time because he recognized those entities.
Rumbling Turquoise Mammoth, Inferno Wave Ox, Azure-Winged Cougar, Dark Lightning Moon Serpent, and an Obsidian Crystal Turtle...
The six magical beast empires of the east, excluding the Scarlet Tyrant Hawk Abode, were somehow all here! What’s more, all of them exuded a dangerous might that was equaling to him, making it obvious that they were the rulers of those magical beast empires!
"Hehehe~"
The Dark Moon Lightning Serpent coldly laughed, its voice sounding masculine yet shrewd.
"Inferior humans, long time no see."
The Inferno Wave Ox breathed purplish-red flames from its nostrils, looking delighted. However, it hurriedly turned to look in a direction and shook its head with apprehension in its eyes.
"Ah! Master, I didn’t mean you. It’s just, this bunch of humans are all stupid."
"Perfect!" The Azure-Winged Cougar growled, "Master is truly wise. We’ll keep you all busy here. Meanwhile, there’s going to be magical beast tides all over the human race."
"Indeed, it’s time to trample and flourish!~" The Rumbling Turquoise Mammoth that was looking down on all coldly laughed.
In this group, the Obsidian Crystal Turtle’s dark eyes were immensely prideful but also reverential as they looked at a certain person.
The humans all looked towards a person, her figure still nonchalant as though what was happening wasn’t her problem. However, they saw the Obsidian Crystal Turtle disappear and reappear in front of Myria, pushing its turtle head towards her.
Myria raised her hand and caressed the big Obsidian Crystal Turtle’s head, causing countless jaws to drop.
’Beast Tamer!!!’
Everyone, including the Mandate Emperor, inwardly screamed.
However, to tame Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beasts who were rulers, and two among them were even at King-Tier, the Ice Phoenix, and the Obsidian Crystal Turtle, what kind of concept was this!?
