Chapter 29: Grand Sea Continent

A month passed from the time the invasion ended.

Davis managed to explain that he and a prisoner teamed up to kill the assassin. He explained it in a way that implied that he knew the prisoner and somehow befriended him before the assassination attempt.

He said that the assassin and the prisoner managed to stab each other when he attacked the assassin's soul, which made the assassin an easier target.

Although his parents had their suspicions about the whole scenario, they did not cast much suspicion on him, and neither did they even doubt if he was the one behind the massacre of the two million-plus soldiers.

Not even one person connected the while massacre to Davis, and neither did they have enough evidence to link that Davis and that mysterious senior was one and the same person.

After all, the massacre of two million people occurring in their sight without even making much of a sound other than that single amplified heartbeat was only a feat only capable of powers unknown to them. They were even thankful for this miraculous event and wouldn't dare to doubt the authenticity one bit.

That is the effect that one could achieve with absolute power!

Davis hadn't managed to kill those two Emperors because he guessed that their Soul Forging Cultivation was way more powerful than him. He didn't want to fail, only to be backtraced. Hence, he made sure to kill the two million-plus soldiers at the same time to create a deterrent effect.

And just as he thought, the two Emperors turned tail and fled without much of surprise.

The Loret Empire gradually managed to gain peace while the Raven Empire and Tritor Empire were caught up in the flames of war, temporarily invaded by the other Empires.

Logan managed to establish his authority once again, so no one would dare to test his authority anymore, not even the two Sky Grade Sect Leaders who were in the Loret Empire.

Claire felt eternally grateful to the mysterious senior who had managed to make them cross this calamity. This was even more so when she realized that she would soon give birth to a child and was expectantly looking forward to it.

Rumors spread about the extremely powerful and mysterious senior throughout the Grand Sea Continent. They even dared to make claims whether if the mysterious senior was an Immortal existence, which the people strived to reach for in their entire lives.

At that point, no one was sure if that person was related to the Loret Empire or not by any chance, and no one dared to test it either.

All the surrounding Empires personally announced that they would soon visit Loret Empire, except the Raven Empire and Tritor Empire. After all, they were more than convinced that they would face their deaths after arriving at the Loret Empire.

Davis wandered into the study as he sighed a lot these days.

He had a lot to think about the massacre he performed that day. He only killed a single life before, so he was feeling down for a whole month but eventually came out of it.

He eventually understood that he would have to kill a lot of people in this world to climb up the hierarchy ladder to protect himself and the people he cared about.

'Seriously! This world is the same sh*thole as Earth. The only thing different was that I have lived in peaceful times after escaping from Mo Wuming.'

'There's no use of thinking! I would have to kill a lot of people or let them kill me! This world follows the rule of the survival of the fittest, more than any other world.'

After the war, he learned many things. The casualties in the army of his Empire were so high that his kill count was higher than the people he killed during the last battle.

Originally, the Loret Empire upheld its peace with its big and powerful army as well as its experts, but after the rebellion begetting division among the army, it couldn't keep up with the command to battle against the two Empires, so about more than sixty percent of them had died before the final battle began.

Even some common people, numbering to a million, had been slaughtered in the war even though they didn't resist, and combined with this fact, it was proved that the Loret Empire's casualties were higher than the enemy's side.

This was such a huge blow to the Empire's morale.

Even though morals exist, people would have to uphold it, but in the world of the strong, only fists speak. People would kill at the slightest dissatisfaction, scheme when they dislike, backstab at the sight of a little opportunity.

He finally acknowledged that people's lives were of no value to the powerful and depraved.

Being showered in the love of his parents, he almost forgot what kind of a world he was living in because the walls of the Imperial Castle was so secure and peaceful, that he found himself enjoying his life while being on experimenting over his newfound powers borne from cultivation.

However, he finally got out of this mindset. After all, the war and his 'visit' to the Imperial Prison taught him more about the cruel side of this world.

Being able to kill more than a million people in a heartbeat… Leaving the guilt that he would experience despite the fact that they were the ones who invaded his Loret Empire, the sheer emotions of possessing such power was enough to make him enter the path of depravity.

"I swear I won't misuse my powers. At least, I definitely won't harm the innocents unless I absolutely need to…" Davis affirmed to himself not to fall into the path of depravity. freewe bnovel .com

Davis didn't like to resort to this kind of massacre. If he could've, he would've killed the two Emperors instead, and that would have sent the army running with its tail caught between its legs.

Nevertheless, in the future, he knew that he would have to resort to this kind of drastic measure to protect himself and the people he loved.

Davis lost himself in his thoughts, staring at the ceiling as he contemplated.

"Davis, you should get ready. Grand characters from other empires should be arriving at any moment now."

Logan came inside his room at that moment. He was clothed in a luxurious blue imperial robe, decorated with golden dragon patterns.

"Hmm? Yes, I'll be ready in a minute."

Today is the day where people from other empires would visit the Imperial Castle. Logan wasn't arrogant as he knew for what they were visiting for.

In reality, everyone knew they were paying respects to the rumored mysterious senior behind the Loret Empire.

Although they weren't sure that if the mysterious senior was present, merely making good relations with the Loret Empire was advantageous to them as well.

Davis readied himself as he wore a blue imperial robe of his small size, adorned with blue crystals on his shoulders that glowed like a sapphire gem.

Davis nodded, and they both headed to the Throne Hall.

They reached the Throne Hall and sat on their seats. Logan was seated on the throne while Davis sat beside him on a small seat. The Empress's seat was empty as Claire was nowhere to be seen.

Claire chose to stay in her quarters since she was seven months pregnant. Clearly, there was no need for her to attend.

Clara was with Claire, although it was unknown whether she was sleeping peacefully with an adorable face or playing with all her strength.

"Davis, let me give you a heads up. Other than those two empires who invaded us, there are five more empires in this continent." Logan explained, afraid that Davis didn't know who and all were visiting.

"I know, father. I've seen the continental map before, and my geography tutor had rather made me learn almost all the important locations." Davis grinned.

"Oh? Good, then explain what the other four Empires are in our Grand Sea Continent?" Logan tested him.

"Yes, mhm… Although there are many low-grade self-proclaimed empires between all seven of us in this Grand Sea Continent, I'll not mention them. From our position, the Ruth Empire is on the South, while the Ashton Empire is at the North West. West of us is the Ross Empire, and in the East is the Claymore Empire." Davis explained.

"Yes, you are right. The Ruth Empire's royalty has the Dragon Bloodline.

Legend has it that a Flood Dragon had been buried there a long time ago, and it has formed as an inheritance for the Imperialty of that Empire." Logan continued.

"The Ashton Empire is adept at destruction as they use fire-attributed Cultivation Techniques. The Ross Empire uses water-attributed Cultivation Techniques. And for that sole reason, they are at each other's throats whenever they have the chance…" Logan smiled.

He let out a chuckle as he continued, "The Claymore Empire uses swords as their main weapons, but they are not picky with the type of cultivation manuals. They are highly skilled at using swords and rumored to have even reached the realm of so-called Sword Intent."

Suddenly, Logan's face changed to a baleful expression, "The Raven Empire has the bloodline of the Dark Raven, and it is rumored to be equal in power to the Flood Dragon. It is in the North and is currently warring with the Ashton Empire to defend their territory."

His face had changed to a gleeful expression as he said that.

"The Tritor Empire specializes in dark-attributed cultivation techniques; in other words, they train in wicked and despicable cultivation methods. They have all kinds of Cultivation Techniques that lean on the dark side. One that absorbs blood from others, ones that plunder essence energy from others, ones that even supplement yang by plundering yin and vice versa." freewebnovel.co(m)

"They are in the North East. Hehe, they are also currently in war with the Claymore Empire!"

"Serves both of those bastards right!"

Anger surfaced on his face at the mention of those two wretched characters.

'I will have my revenge! Raven Emperor and Tritor Emperor, you bastards, just wait for it!'

Logan's eyes were full of hatred.

"Don't worry, father. You will have your revenge soon! I know it!" Davis smiled comfortingly, but hidden behind his smile was also a deep hatred.

Enmity had been formed, and his first two targets were already decided! Emperor Raven and Emperor Tritor, two Fifth Stage Powerhouses right off the bat!
