"Bless you."
Emmon poured forth all his might, going all out.
The Disaster World erupted to this point, but for those at level 9 and above in Nora, the damage was not too significant. They possessed ten uses of teleportation via the ancient tower, and even the most impetuous wouldn't squander them so rapidly. However, for those below level 9, considerable losses were indeed exacted. This outcome was difficult to anticipate.
The Nightmare demonstrated immense determination this time. The phrase "cutting off a limb to save the body" scarcely did it justice. Fortunately, Levi’s Nightmare techniques proved sufficiently potent, enabling him to swiftly dispatch numerous legions into the Nightmare World for sanctuary. It can only be said that fate is inscrutable—who would have imagined that the treacherous core of the enemy would serve as a haven for countless lives?
Furthermore, Nora had contingencies prepared for such eventualities, leading to a rapid response from many level-10 powerhouses. They joined forces with the Sword Qi Great Wall to evacuate the main forces to secure locations beyond the afflicted zone. Consequently, the current losses remain within a manageable scope. After all, the Nightmare forces also incurred substantial casualties during that onslaught.
The most pressing issue currently is the self-immolation of the newly ascended Supreme, which is causing the Disaster World to expand at an alarming rate. Judging by its trajectory, it might even encroach upon Nora. With Nora’s Will alone, a complete repulsion might prove impossible. If this expansion is not halted promptly, the repercussions will only grow more severe. After all, all those capable of combat are already Nora's cream of the crop. Those remaining are overwhelmingly from the lower strata and novice cultivators. Even a minor overflow of the Power of Disaster could lead to the annihilation of billions.
With his full capabilities unleashed, Emmon's suppression of the Lord of Disaster intensifies. Yet, he is teetering on the brink of being Lost himself. This precarious state cannot persist indefinitely. If Hera were to achieve Supreme advancement, the immediate crisis could truly be averted. Three Supremes acting in concert would likely expedite the defeat of the Lord of Disaster.
In the Void Holy Temple, the Star Sky Sword Saint found itself confronting two opponents simultaneously. The Sloth Demon Lord and the Black Heart Demon Lord, both formidable powers, surrounded it. Its sword mastery was now on the cusp of reaching level-10. However, it could not quite achieve that final breakthrough. Were its sword skill to reach level-10, it would possess the confidence to hold off both formidable adversaries. Abruptly, its gaze shifted towards a distant point. "Hera..."
...
The ascension to Supreme status was a spectacle witnessed by all. However, Levi could not divert his focus at this juncture. He launched a relentless barrage of attacks, striking the Lord of Disaster repeatedly. The latter's aura flickered, its vital energy ebbing away, yet the Disaster Heart was only eroded incrementally. It proved as tenacious to eradicate as a fundamental cosmic principle.
Levi's Spiritual Origin burned like a dwindling candle; such a drain would have been fatal to any other legendary wizard, yet he persevered. Firstly, his Soul Strength was extraordinarily high. Secondly, the Ancestor Body provided continuous nourishment to his Spiritual Origin. Unbeknownst to him, the two distinct paths of spirit and body began to exhibit subtle signs of convergence. The fusion of his dual professions advanced by another 10%. This was an unexpected boon.
Hera intended to ascend to Supreme. The Nightmare forces would undoubtedly not stand idly by. The Black Heart Demon Lord and the Sloth Demon Lord disengaged from the Star Sky Sword Saint, swiftly converging on Hera's position. The combined might of greed and sloth manifested as a blade, striking directly towards her. "Begone!" The Star Sky Sword Saint retaliated. Its secret technique, "Star Shifting!" This sword skill surpassed even the "Galaxy Sword Manual," wielding the power of spatial inversion. The attacks from the two Demon Lords missed their mark, striking empty air. They stated coldly, "If you seek death, we shall oblige!" The Star Sky Sword Saint gasped, its voice as rough as an ox's bellows, "We shall see if you possess the capability!" Instantly, pandemonium erupted.
An increasing number of Nightmare Monarchs advanced upon Hera, aiming to disrupt her Supreme ascension. The powerhouses from the Starry Sky Holy Hall refused to falter, rushing to her defense. Beneath the Sword Qi Great Wall, while providing cover for the retreat from the Disaster World, the Frost Witch declared, "I am going to lend support to Hera." Hera had opted for the perilous ascension to minimize casualties within Nora. Whether viewed emotionally or logically, abandoning her was not an option. Over seven hundred level-10 combatants engaged, a clash so intense it seemed to grind the very Dao to dust, as rules and domains interwove, transforming the battlefield into the outermost frontier of the cosmos.
... .
Meanwhile. In the Underworld. With the departure of the Netherworld Ancestor Hall, the defenses in this region were non-existent. "Hehehe, why congregate in the Abyss? This king has come directly to the Underworld. The path is wide open! Not a single level-10 presence—how could anyone possibly stop me?" A figure, resembling a fusion of fish and snake and adorned with numerous tentacles, descended with an air of majesty. It was the Water Demon Lord, Su Ke, the Lord of Abyssal Floor 640. It had been engaged in fierce battles externally for an extended period; not long ago, the Supreme Will had commanded its return home. As a demon, it naturally would not heed its leader's summons—even if that leader was its own father. This was precisely why the Abyss Will had decided to lead everyone towards Nora.
Perhaps gathering an army of demons, with their inherent disorder and lack of focus, would take an eternity. Moving the homestead closer to Nora would indeed be a swifter solution. Six Level 10 Demons stood assembled behind the Water Demon Lord. As the contingent ventured deeper into the Underworld, reaching the grounds where the Netherworld Ancestor Hall had once presided— The area was desolate, with only the mournful flow of the Netherworld river remaining. This river, a conduit to the Void, emanated an ancient aura of Death from epochs past. "Hsss... the Underworld truly spares no expense," the Water Demon Lord murmured, suppressing an urge to claim the river's source. It surveyed its surroundings, detecting an anomaly. "Curses, it's a ruse!" it exclaimed. A sudden recollection spurred a hasty retreat, but it proved to be too late. *BOOM!* Seventy-two colossal Pillars plummeted from above. These pillars coalesced, forming the enigmatic Eight Formation Array. At each cardinal point, nine Hell Pillars stood as sentinels. Within the formation, eight were classified as level-9, with one, the ultimate guardian, at level-10. This commanding presence was the First Pillar: the King of Hell! Its head bore the formidable horns of a bull, its physique titanic, reminiscent of a primal deity. In its grasp, a chain hammer whirled, churning the very air, warping the fabric of space-time and causing the heavens and earth to quake. Its supreme treasure: the Poem of Hell! The Second Pillar, formerly the Radiant Prison Dragon King, had now transformed into the Eye of Revenge.
