Levi sealed the Pale Monarch within the Crystal Palace, compressing the vast space into a black sphere and detonating it in the Sea of Ruins, annihilating its form amid explosive spatial turbulence. Pursuing its fleeing true soul, he repelled a mental assault with his powerful primordial spirit, trapped it using reversed elemental magnetism, and enslaved it with Black Emperor Dragon Power, reducing its strength to early level-10 and instructing it to feign injury while reporting Nightmare World intelligence. Returning to the Shadow Battlefield, Levi declared the subduing of Pale Monarch, bolstering allied morale as the enemy forces dwindled, and joined the Wind Empress in battling the contaminating Sky Stench Monarch and its twin.

Levi flipped the magnetic field in reverse, repelling every bit of the 'filth' assaults, causing the whole region across a million miles to fill with a foul odor, forcing other powerful entities to pull back swiftly.

'It's pointless; my Power of Sky Stench won't be put out.' The reek poured in from every side, eating away at Levi’s Golden Light Field.

From behind Levi, the Blood Battle Spirit materialized, accompanied by an infinite Blood Sea, rushing at the Sky Stinky Monarch. Summons such as the Light Giant and Primordial Magnetic Giant Soldier came right after.

Contamination didn't scare them; if dirtied, they'd blow up and regenerate.

Levi hesitated to unleash beings like the Seven Treasures.

As the proverb says, a wild punch can topple a master. The Sky Stinky Monarch barely finished bragging when the Blood Battle Spirit pinpointed its real form, slashing non-stop with bloody Sword Qi!

'No, brother, help me!'

The Sky Stinky Monarch got cornered with no escape. Levi's demon-god figure closed in, lifting his hand as Nine Suns Hung in the Sky, and Dragon Flames roared out!

Spells and spell-like powers detonated, blasting the Sky Stinky Monarch into a pile of toxic meat, still twisting and reshaping like ooze, clearly having an Undying Body.

Yet this form of eternal life had its bounds.

Levi unleashed his Fire Dragon Tribulation like rapid fire, and in a flash, hundreds detonated at once, reducing the meat to nothing.

In this realm, genuine immortality doesn't exist, not even for Levi.

What passes for immortality just means the force isn't potent enough yet!

Levi seized the true soul of the Sky Stinky Monarch, denying it any shot at revival. After a brief pause, Levi gathered the foul war prizes.

No matter the stench, these were level-10 items not to be thrown away!

From Levi's arrival, merely half an hour had passed. For a level-10 clash, that was astonishingly brief... yet the Nightmare Monarchs had already forfeited their battle spirit; they'd already dropped three Generals, two of them Level 10 Middle Stage.

With fortunes shifting, 30 Monarchs against 29 from the Three-party Alliance's elite forces. The balance of the conflict started leaning toward the opposition.

Plus, that Dusk Palace Master had already taken down three powerhouses, unleashed countless mighty ultimate techniques, but displayed no weariness, ready to keep battling!

During the fight, the Lost Monarch suffered inwardly:

'This won't do, he's merely Level 10 Early Stage, but his slaying power against level-10 foes matches mine.

On count, the Nightmares appear ahead, but he alone equals ten regular Monarchs... actually, the Three-party Alliance holds the upper hand.

Dragging on this brutal war will just let the Dusk Palace Master pick us off individually, leading to heavier casualties. Pulling back now could still curb the harm.'

With that in mind, the Lost Monarch messaged every Monarch:

'I'm setting up a massive forbidden spell; use this chance to withdraw, we'll exit the Shadow Battlefield and link up with the Ignorant Monarch!'

Together, thick black threads wrapped it like tangled yarn, blocking Charactus and the Mountain Giant King’s attempts to break through.

'Nightmare Forbidden Spell—Cosmic Labyrinth!'

Threads expanded in complex routes, covering the full Shadow Battlefield, creating a gigantic maze drawn from the cosmos.

Within the maze, space twisted, lacking any clear pattern or path, and time flowed erratically in spots.

This almost-top-tier powerhouse could already meddle with fragments of the Power of Time, not much threat to Time Dragons or like experts, but a crushing blow for standard level-10s, one of the Four Emperors Dominator’s key weapons.

The Nightmare Monarchs escaped in sequence, only the Sky Filth Monarch glanced back at Levi caught in the maze, hardening its resolve.

'Return my brother's life to me!'

Its grimy hand crossed space-time, hitting Levi’s neck in an odd way; without the Nightmare Monarch’s backing, it wouldn't risk such a move.

The Monarchs leaving the Shadow World scattered, as the Lost Monarch observed the maze from above, its face hardening as it snapped:

'Sky Filth, get back here! You're not his equal!'

Though its Cosmic Labyrinth jumbled space-time and senses, it missed broad destructive force—it served for getaway.

It understood that with the Dusk Palace Master’s strategies and smarts, these deceptions would hold him only briefly, so swift flight was wise.

Even in tough spots, attempting a kill on withdrawal, the Sky Filth Monarch really appeared deranged by its brother's demise.

As anticipated.

A Deep Red Eye cracked open on the Dusk Palace Master’s head's back, and his shape faded like a vision, making the grimy hand clutch nothing.

'No, an illusion?'

The Sky Filth Monarch jumped in shock; as a Nightmare Monarch, expert in deceptions, it never thought it'd get snared in someone else's trick. No black-armored swordsman stood there, just a gray orb emitting red-black fog.

'Illusion Device—Night Barrier Pearl!'

The Sky Filth Monarch and Lost Monarch’s expressions shifted faintly.

The first sensed peril and started pulling away.

The second probed with a black thread, slipping into the Shadow World to reclaim the Night Barrier Pearl; it had been its own once.

Roar!

With a fearsome dragon bellow, a grand Red Giant Dragon abruptly stretched across the realm, rattling the maze.

Its wings whipped up flames and golden glow over a hundred thousand miles, merging into a crimson-gold cascade dangling from above, halting the black thread that dissolved like ink on fabric.

The Lost Monarch sighed, departing straightaway: 'Never mind, keep it; once the Supreme Will crushes Nora, I'll take it back.'

Logic warned it that without the Four Emperors teaming up, none below Supreme could end the Dusk Palace Master. But getting the cunning Four Emperors to join was harder than the Supreme Will stepping in itself.

The maze slowly faded, and the other powerhouses stepped out of the deception to see a stunning sight overhead:

The Sky Filth Monarch poured all its might into striking the Red Giant Dragon, yelling about 'dying together.'

The Golden Dragon Eyes fixed on the Sky Filth Monarch, wings shredding clouds, tail splitting sky and land, the dragon’s chest turned see-through, showing a sun-resembling heart pulsing inside.

The forge amassed the red flame energy across its frame, via the dragon’s maw, transforming into a breath that raced alongside the world, extending across tens of thousands of miles.

The blazing breath swallowed the Sky Filth Monarch, and the red flame path hung around long after, forming a striking feature in the dull gray-white Shadow World.

After the total blaze, a soiled Nightmare Crystal Core drifted in emptiness, its true soul phantom dashed again at the dragon like a bug to light.

The dragon shot out its claw, slamming down hard.

The true soul smashed into the earth, an unseen shock rippling out to carve a huge ravine over a hundred thousand miles, faintly shaped like a dragon claw.

...

Nora Calendar 2165.

The Dusk Palace Master defeated the Sky Pool, Pale, Sky Filth, and Sky Stinky, four mighty Monarchs in the Shadow World, utterly unstoppable.

Because of the lasting mark from the dragon claw on the ground, it turned into a marvel, and future folks called the site:

Dragon Claw Sky!
