If your question is "If there is nothing for gravity to bring down, is there still gravity?" then, When a tree falls in a forest and no one is around does it make a sound?

 Its for both energy and mass, mass can't be created or destroyed as energy can, maby it isn't called law od conservation of mass, but mass still has to be conserved.
You're thinking about chemistry, I think. In physics, you can destroy mass. It's fun.

Honestly, mass is destroyed all the time. It's happening right now in your smoke alarm.
Mass can't be created nor destroyed. Its Transformed!

Well the thing is... Gravity is basically a very researched guess, I know it's proven and such, But the manipulation of it isn't fully understood. You can test things WITH gravity but you can't really test gravity itself.

I'm going to regret this, but that's the point.

I was just wonderring the other day, does gravity exists without matter? For instance, if we obliterate all land and all other substance within earth completely except for gravity, whats going to happen with this force? Would it still exist or would it just suddenly vanish? After a while, this question lead me to the theory of formation of blackholes, since the purpose of gravitation is just suction built on the foundation of land and since my perceptions of blackholes is suction without land, I believed this is how blackholes are formed. I never taken any science courses, so I wouldn't know, but if any of you do take science courses, is my assumption correct?
Gravity is a force OF matter (mass). It's not a separate force.
I think your misconception is because one, you've never taken any science courses, and two, you completely misunderstand what a black hole is. A black hole isn't a hole at all, it is, in fact, an extremely dense ball of matter (land, as you call it). It's not suction either, gravity is attraction of matter to matter. More matter = stronger attraction. There's also other effects, but I don't know enough of the details to explain them clearly, especially since you've not had any courses in science.
