The Lost Monarch and the Ignorant Monarch attempt to flee the Nora battlefield, but the Ignorant Monarch abandons its partner to save itself as Edmund and Hera close in. As the battle turns in favor of Nora, the Lost Monarch and dozens of other monarchs become trapped and overwhelmed. Meanwhile, Herman successfully concludes his mission in the Heavenly God Universe, returning to the Ancient Dragon Continent with powerful legendary artifacts after witnessing the defeat of his foes.

The Blood Battle Spirit and the Seven Treasures were echoing with hunger, clamoring for their next dose of sustenance.

"Proceed, slaughter to your heart’s content!"

...

Boom!

The ocean surface across tens of thousands of miles erupted, while the very earth fractured and groaned. A colossal sand worm, spanning tens of thousands of miles and armored in demonic scales, rampaged through the Nora bedrock, wreaking havoc with unmatched arrogance.

To this day, it has eradicated 12 New Worlds.

Billions of lives have already been devoured within its maw.

The Primordial Demon Lord had initially kept this creature in check, but the chaos of the battlefield—filled with encroaching Nightmare Monarchs and demon lords—had provided the Lord of Earthquakes an opening to escape, albeit narrowly.

"Hahaha, this is truly exhilarating!"

It wallowed in the sensation of triggering tremors and fissures, blissfully ignorant that the succubus queen had already retreated with her forces outside the Land of Darkness, leaving herself surrounded. In its mind, Nora was already nothing more than a graveyard.

Without warning, a malevolent energy locked firmly onto its position.

"Hmph, try to hinder me if you dare!"

The Lord of Earthquakes burrowed deeper into the crust, accelerating as it tunneled. Beneath the surface, it reigned as the undisputed king. Relying on its formidable Earth Escape Skill, even a Level 10 Late Stage expert would find it impossible to intercept. It had already successfully evaded several hunting parties from Nora.

Tragically, this encounter involved Levi.

A searing beam of light descended from the Sky Dome, effectively cutting off the creature's path. Levi’s intent to kill was absolute; he could sense the billions of vengeful spirits swirling around the Lord of Earthquakes—all of them victims from the butchered Nora populations.

They had all been consumed.

Moreover, some had been citizens of his Ancient Dragon Continent, who had perished while providing aid to other regions, only to meet their end at the hands of this monstrosity.

"Dusk Palace Master?"

The Lord of Earthquakes veered away frantically, its soul trembling in terror.

"You bast*rd, you really think you can continue to flee?"

Levi’s intense fury focused into his Eight-Armed Demon Emperor’s halberd, though he exercised restraint. He remained mindful of the neighboring New Worlds; even with precise control over his Sword Qi, the collateral damage would be devastating. While the Lord of Earthquakes had no such reservations, Levi certainly did.

He blinked across space repeatedly, closing the gap instantly.

"D*mn!"

The Lord of Earthquakes raced toward yet another New World. With a savage glint in its eyes, it sneered:

"Come then!"

It hoped to force Levi into hesitation.

Levi suddenly surged in speed, appearing directly beneath the sand worm. Channeling his entire physical power into his right fist, he struck upward toward the Sky Dome!

Boom!

A world-shattering impact erupted. The demonic scales coating the creature shattered instantly, its flesh and bones contorting as the overwhelming force crushed it inward, launching it skyward from the kinetic shockwave.

Splat.

The Lord of Earthquakes nearly vomited its own entrails. As it curled into a ball, drifting high above, the blinding light pursued it like a shadow. A fist the size of a sandbag struck again, forcing the creature to project a desperate soil-colored barrier.

"D*mn, I have to retreat!"

The Lord of Earthquakes plunged frantically into the Darkness. The following moment, its barrier disintegrated, and searing red flames washed over it. A Red Giant Dragon burst from the embers, spewing a torrent of fire that illuminated the Land of Darkness, totally engulfing the Lord of Earthquakes.

Once clear of the New World, Levi held nothing back.

While it shrieked in agony, the charred form of the Lord of Earthquakes writhed in the darkness. The dragon unleashed its claws to wield the Eight-Armed Demon Emperor’s halberd, executing simple but lethal sword strikes!

The sword light severed the sand worm in two, then pulverized the remains into pulp with the might of the Crystal Palace. Levi quickly cast sealing spells to ensure it stayed down for good.

"Your pride is hollow; Nora will soon be erased," the Lord of Earthquakes sneered.

Levi replied, his expression icy and detached:

"Look behind you. The victory is ours."

"What? This cannot be!"

Only then did the Lord of Earthquakes notice the absence of any Level 10 demon aura in the surrounding darkness. The succubus queen and her cohorts had long since withdrawn. The Nightmare Monarch had been encircled by Nora’s Level 10 elites and was falling one by one.

"How... how could this have happened?"

It stammered, shocked to its very core, for such a ruinous outcome had been entirely unthinkable. Levi contained the remains within the White Emperor Palace, finally letting out a long, relieved sigh.

"Finished. It is time to scavenge the battlefield for suitable materials."

He returned to the surface of Nora, intent on continuing his hunt for Level 10 monsters. His priority was to stabilize these chaotic factors and minimize further losses to Nora.

...

Time ticked away.

Within less than half a day, the number of Nightmare Monarchs remaining had dwindled to less than half. Their ultimate defeat was now a certainty. Many Level 10 warriors, once freed from their battles, withdrew to Nora to utilize the Heavenly Net, pinning down the remaining enemies.

Levi hunted demons and rivals alike while maintaining his watch over the Ancient Dragon Continent. This struggle had successfully eliminated many Level 10s, though reanimating them into level-9 Shadows would require time he didn't currently possess. Nevertheless, he already commanded 32 level-9 demon kings.

His count of level-8 demon generals was nearing 500.

The count of Level-10 Demon Emperors remained fixed, with only the [Old Sea Dominator] among them. More might emerge after this war, but true mastery of the Level 10 realm would require extensive slaughter within the Nightmare and Abyss realms. As his spiritual cultivation deepened, his Shadows could range further beyond his direct control, allowing him to organize them into hundreds of squads to purge Nora.

With the Shadow Army deployed, victory felt like a guaranteed harvest. The remaining enemy forces were effectively doomed; it was merely a matter of time.

The Blood Battle Spirit grew ravenous, devouring dozens of demons to fuel its own Evolution. Soon, it would be capable of ascending to the Level 10 Middle Stage.

Suddenly, a notification from Herman pinged via the Heavenly Net.

[Hall Master, a New World in your sector is facing an invasion by a Nightmare Monarch. Thirty million lives were lost instantly, in a truly gruesome fashion. The Daydreamer is held captive by another Monarch, and the duplication abilities of the Dreams of Revolving are simply unable to match its power.]

"Understood!"

Levi couldn't help but marvel at the utility of the Heavenly Net.
