Nadia, who momentarily became pale, noticed that the punch was not towards her master but the vines!

Flames soared into existence from the palm as those dense five-meter thick vines blazed before completely turning into ashes!

Two more silhouettes flashed behind as they surrounded Davis. However, Davis didn't care about their presence even a single bit as he commanded them.

"The two of you behind me, attack with flames and keep the vines occupied..."

"As for you, Kalamaz Ethren, keep the Ethren Family's experts or any other people from getting closer to this region and use the Conferred Queen Protector's name if they do not listen..."

The three who surrounded him turned to look at him as they bowed before replying monotonously, "Yes, master!"

The two who were behind instantly shot towards the mountain below and started to wreak havoc among the thousands of vines that possessed the strength of the Seventh Stage!

Flames erupted as they launched numerous battle techniques from the Astra Flaming Sky Manual that Davis had looked into before.

Davis glanced at the dense snake-like vines trying to get to him but getting ripped apart or burnt into ashes by the two Low-Level Law Sea Stage Experts.

He smirked as his silhouette began to fade away before it disappeared.

Meanwhile, Kalamaz Ethren shot towards the distance under Nadia's gaze, heading in the Ethren Empire's direction to stop any interference.

She had no idea who these three were, but looking at them bow towards her master, she became relaxed and elated that her master's subordinates have arrived!

However, she didn't know that they were not subordinates but slaves!

But she then recognized that her master has totally disappeared, even from the connection that tied them together. She became worried but imagined that he had a plan in mind. From what she had seen in the past, her master always had a plan on his mind and even quickly produced results on the spot when they encountered an Eighth Stage Expert!

Hence, she calmed down and looked at the vines slowly but surely increase in strength as those vines started to radiate Eighth Stage undulations!

Her expression became aghast, but looking at those people be able to still battle against the vines to a suppressed state with the flames, she regained her calm and watched the battle with a vague trepidation in her heart, wondering if they could survive this enormous disaster.

Abruptly, her eyes flashed with a dark light.

'If master becomes heavily wounded, I have to take him away from here no matter what!'

Davis made his way towards the Yin Essence that emanated a bone-freezing chill and suppressive might but was being absorbed by the Emperor Grade plant lifeform. With his Dark Concealing Shroud Art shrouded him, he plunged into the dense white fog and descended kilometers into the chasm.

Within a few minutes of the ferocious and enormous battle that took place outside, he arrived at the small deep blue lake.

His body instantly chilled as he felt incredibly cold! Frost formed over his pores, hair, and eyelids, making him shiver. However, he withstood the effects and sent his soul force as it sank down the lake.

It didn't even let out a ripple in the water body as it quickly made its way towards the Yin Essence! He had already marked the point in his mind map; hence, within a few seconds, his soul force arrived just before the Yin Essence and instantly covered it!

Davis bit his lips as blood dripped down his chin as he inwardly chanted....

'Exhausted Ashes of the Vermillion!'

The soul force created a flaming barrier that momentarily impeded the vines from absorbing the Yin Essence, and the next second, his radiating soul force abruptly changed and turned into crimson ashes. Those beautiful crimson specks in the deep blue sea spread and stuck itself to the maws of the vines, many even going inside it!

The next second, the head of the vines silently dissolved into ashes and started to plunge towards the lake's bottom!

Davis rubbed the blood that oozed out from his lips. He was not using his blood essence but sacrificed his soul essence to attack!

He had chosen to unhesitatingly sacrifice some of his soul essences, bringing the attack to scale a level and destroy the extremely strong Eighth Stage vines from the inside!

He comprehended this technique along with the Blazing Incandescence Plume Sea technique when he practiced and comprehended the Soul Forging Cultivation Manual, Incandescent Vermilion Soul Mantra!

Davis is currently in the Mid-Level Supreme Soul Stage, and with his normal attack comparable to that attack of a Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage Expert, he managed to destroy those Eighth Stage vines by pushing the attack's level to a new height by sacrificing his soul essence.

Davis clenched his teeth in glee as he used another strand of soul force to quickly encase the Yin Essence, but as expected, it was heavy, soul-chilling for the current him to even touch it.

*Hmph!!~*

He snorted in displeasure and abruptly showered his soul force with the death-like energy... The next moment, the Yin Essence shuddered as if it feared the presence that enshrouded it, and the azure flames receded like a scared puppy.

He quickly scooped it up and brought it above the lake as he threw it into the container where the Derelict Extinction Lightning remained once sealed in the past!

*AooWooo!~*

Realizing that the Yin Essence had been stolen just a little later with its injured vines, the plant lifeform let out another piercing wail that threatened to slaughter the looter into pieces.

Davis flew away as fast as he could, but with his soul sense, he found that vines from both below and above targeted him as if its life almost depended on it!

He snorted and used his soul force to make a hole towards the side. Flying away from the vines that increasingly caught up to him, he chanced upon an already paved route of a vine that had been scorched to death from the battles above!

Right now, the Sunset Tear Mountain was filled with numerous holes and using it to his advantage; he traversed many routes despite being chased by thousands of Seventh Stage vines and tens of Eighth Stage vines.

However, unable to find him, the plant lifeform could only rampage around, destroying the mountain ranges from the inside inevitably!

A few minutes later, Davis appeared in the skies beside Nadia while the ceaseless and rampant destruction that shook the entire Sunset Tear Mountain Ranges continued to ring out like a death knell. He canceled out his Dark Concealing Shroud Art, causing Nadia to jump in fright!

"Ahh!!... Master!! You're safe!" Nadia became embarrassed before her yellow pupils shimmered. Her standing posture then became relaxed.

Davis chuckled at her reaction and summoned the container that was now frozen to his side.

*AoWoooo!~*

A shriek echoed again as Davis knew that the plant lifeform sensed the Yin Essence. However, he didn't escape but waited for it to arrive at the height of three hundred and fifty kilometers, waiting for the plant lifeform to approach him.

However, the vines never seemed to reach even half the distance despite the vines desperately flailing around, trying to reach him.

His lips curved into a mocking smile as he knew that he was out of its range!
