Chapter 1999: Eastern Magical Beast Territories

Chapter 1999: Eastern Magical Beast Territories

Countless people grew ashen with rage and fear clouding their expressions and gaze, their hands quickly taking up armaments.

Looking at the skies and the five magical beasts radiating Peak-Level Emperor Beast Stage Cultivation, there was little doubt to the knowledgeable people that these magical beasts came from the eastern side of the Fifty-Two Territories.

Not much was known about them due to being shut off and far off in the distance. Billions of magical beasts, ranging from the Mortal Rank to Emperor Rank, all lived there, taking six Territories, namely: the Inferno Wave Ox Empire, Scarlet Tyrant Hawk Abode, Azure-Winged Cougar Palace, Rumbling Turquoise Mammoth Empire, Obsidian Crystal Turtle Palace, and the Dark Lightning Moon Serpent Mountain.

Of them, only the Scarlet Tyrant Hawk Abode wasn't here, which made people panic if it was already attacking the Golden Dragon Valley Territory to its west.

The Zlatan Family's expression became unsightly. Since they were the hegemon of the Golden Dragon Valley Territory, they naturally possessed the ability to defend against the Scarlet Tyrant Hawk Abode with their untouched formations and wouldn't easily fall, but there was no information on any attack.

Moreover, there were also the northwestern magical beast empires, namely the Dark Moon Crow Empire, White Serpent Palace, and the White-Winged Tiger Empire. Besides, the Grand Viridian Beast Mountain Range was also a magical beast empire, a large-sized Territory situated adjacent to the Astral Light Sect and the Vast Sky Emperor Palace.

The Grand Viridian Beast Mountain Range's power equals that of the large-sized Territory Hegemon of the Vast Sky Emperor Palace.

However, they didn't seem to be here, but they didn't know and couldn't tell for sure if the magical beasts were collectively launching a full magical beast tide at this very moment.

The expressions of numerous people despaired, but most were full of rage.

How dare those magical beasts plot to invade their righteous path at this time!?

'No! The magical beasts are too stupid. They are incapable of unity and spatial transportation, so they must be spurred by the white-haired woman, Myria!' Upon conceiving this kind of speculation, most of the people instantly deemed her to be an evil woman.

The Mandate Emperor's gaze was also on Myria but compared to the common man and even some knowledgeable powerhouses, he was the most knowledgeable about the situation in the eastern magical beast Territories.

Amidst the magical beast race, only the magical beasts from the Grand Viridian Beast Mountain Range could be said to rival them one or two of their Four Great Righteous Sects in terms of prowess. As for the eastern magical beast Territories, they could be attributed to the prowess of mid-sized Territories from their human race.

Therefore, the Inferno Wave Ox Empire, Scarlet Tyrant Hawk Abode, Azure-Cougar Winged Palace, Rumbling Turquoise Mammoth Empire, Obsidian Crystal Turtle Palace, and the Dark Lightning Moon Serpent Mountain shouldn't have such powerful beings.

Not only the Inferno Wave Ox, Azure-Winged Cougar, Rumbling Turquoise Mammoth, and the Dark Lightning Moon Serpent exuded might equal to himself and the Vast Sky Emperor, the Obsidian Crystal Turtle, and the Ice Phoenix whose origin was unknown surpassed him.

However, he possessed Legacy Artifacts to match their prowess.

Unlike them, the magical beasts didn't possess Legacy Artifacts, so the magical beasts never had the gall to approach them, ending the conflict with the human race long ago while continuing to live with internal skirmishes and sending magical beast tides periodically before stopping in the last few thousand years as they had largely declined.

He knew that they hadn't made much progress after personally scouting a decade ago since if even High-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouses were to go, they would undoubtedly be eaten by the magical beasts.

Nonetheless, they were unable to threaten existences like him, so he was able to traverse and return safely. He didn't kill the magical beasts either, afraid that he would earn their ire which would cause them to send magical beast tides even though he possessed the power to trample them.

However, since those Territories were always protected by the Grand Viridian Beast Mountain Range, the human race was unable to do anything either. Consequently, those six magical beast Territories would also produce tributes for the Grand Viridian Beast Mountain Range, leaving them with scant resources, so how could they become this powerful in a short amount of time!?

The Mandate Emperor's gaze was strictly fixed on Myria.

In his mind, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that she grew their prowess and even managed to make that Obsidian Crystal Turtle a King-Tier Magical Beast, taming all of them. Otherwise, the current situation in his eyes just didn't make sense.

After all, these magical beasts weren't powerful when he visited just a decade ago, much less one of them at King-Tier.

However, how did she tame them?

It must be known that these magical beast rulers would rather kill themselves than submit, especially after living so many years, so what he was looking at was a terrifying and mind-boggling spectacle, to say the least.

'I see. So Myria made the eastern magical beast Territories her playground.'

On the other hand, realization dawned on Davis when he thought about her rapid growth and ability to procure resources without anyone knowing or becoming suspicious of her. It was because after leaving Shirley and joining the Mystic Ice Sect as a foothold, she traversed the eastern magical beast Territories to acquire resources and, in the process, somehow took a few magical beast pets.

Davis couldn't derive any other explanations for this overwhelming encounter of the magical beast race.

As for how Myria did it, he could only ask later.

Nonetheless, Davis's lips twitched as he noticed the deafening silence in the New Era Battle Arena.

Myria had completely subdued the righteous path at this moment, cornering them from both sides. All of their headquarters and Territories were in potential danger while they were completely trapped in their making. After all, it was unknown if this grand barrier would shut down in a timely fashion, allowing people to escape.

As for the Obsidian Crystal Turtle being able to enter, either its spatial prowess exceeded that of the barrier's ability, or the barrier was specifically designed to let things escape from inside, making its prowess concentrated and stronger as a trapping formation but weaker to outside interference.

Nonetheless, he didn't care about that at this moment.

Myria didn't even need to make a move, but her Ice Phoenix and the other magical beast did the job for her. Perhaps, this was one of her trump cards to use at the right moment, but she used them at this moment. If she had the power to kill the Mandate Emperor and the others all by herself, then it could be seen that she only wanted to intimidate them with this move, or else this maneuver didn't make sense to him unless she really wanted to flip the Territories of the human race.

Thinking like this, Davis heaved a sigh of relief, noticing that she took his advice for once.

"Alright, since everyone came to a stop, stay that way."

Davis raised his hand and waved.

He felt that he didn't have to do anything anymore as it was clear to him that the righteous path was disadvantaged.

"Calamity Light's Source, what are you trying to do?"

The Mandate Emperor's expression was gloomy. He never expected this turn of events. The Mystic Ice Sect was protected by Sect Master Lea Weiss, whose prowess had probably surpassed him. He couldn't battle her without a Legacy Artifact. Moreover, there was also the Emperor of Death strangely protecting Myria even though he claimed she stole his treasure.

For the first time in his life, he felt that everything was spiraling out of his hands. He couldn't control the human race's fate anymore, making him afraid that he would be unable to save them.

The fact that the Emperor of Death didn't help but went against him also made him feel somber.

"Ahaha~"

Myria couldn't help but laugh at the Mandate Emperor's question.

"You're the one who wanted to capture me, and now you're asking what I'm trying to do? You tell me~"

She shrugged, looking amused. Apparently, it was evil for her to defend herself.

However, the Mandate Emperor felt that he should've used a better choice of words since he wanted to know her true intent on why she brought the magical beasts here.

"That's because-"

"What!? You dared to capture my master!?"

The Inferno Wave Ox angrily bellowed from the skies when its forty-meter tall figure moved. Space shook with each of its hooves taking a step forward, causing it to rush forward in an instant.

Purplish-red flames blazed out of its two horns as it directly rammed towards the Mandate Emperor, causing his expression to become unsightly.
