God of Dark Nightmare was a Level-7 Death Element Main God.

Once he fell, God of Dark Nightmare's Death Element Godhead would clearly be of the greatest use to Death Spring, who was present.

In recent years, Destruction Spring had become increasingly obsessed with exploring the path of Destruction Power. However, this fellow was actually quite loyal to his direct subordinates and his brothers and sisters.

Destruction Spring sought only Destruction Power. As for things like the Main Godhead of a Level-7 being, it truly did not care much about them.

It was foreseeable that, with God of Dark Nightmare's fall, the Myriad Springs World Cluster would gain another Level-7 Death Spring. Meanwhile, by absorbing the Destruction Power from this battlefield, Destruction Spring's overall destructive momentum would inevitably advance even further.

A dazzling meteor fell from the horizon.

God of Dark Nightmare had fallen.

This fellow, who had been kicked around by numerous Level-7 and Level-8 Dominators, had ultimately failed to withstand the pressure.

Not to mention Destruction Spring's exaggerated strength, the immense Power of Death carried by Death Descendant Fempton alone was enough to suppress God of Dark Nightmare completely.

Later, when Naige'er and the others were Ganging Up on the God of Savagery and Violence, the summoned Monster Emperor Geluomuzi was also assigned to join the siege against God of Dark Nightmare, since the disparity in strength was simply too great.

What had God of Dark Nightmare done to deserve being besieged by so many ultimate powerhouses?

Death Descendant Fempton, Monster Emperor Geluomuzi, Destruction Spring—any one of these beings, taken alone, was a renowned figure in the Star Realm.

The dazzling falling meteor streaked across the horizon.

It represented the fall of an old god, but to a certain extent, it also represented the rise of a new god.

"This thing is yours." After killing God of Dark Nightmare, at the site of his fallen divine realm, Destruction Spring dissected a dazzling gray Godhead crystal from the Main God's corpse and tossed it to Death Spring.

This was something Destruction Spring had long promised Death Spring. At Destruction Spring's level, a Level-7 Main Godhead was truly of no use to it.

What attracted Destruction Spring were other factors.

The dazzling and enchanting Death Element Main Godhead practically blinded Death Spring's Eye of Elements.

Trembling, it accepted the Godhead. Without deliberating for long, Death Spring fused its Dominator body with the Death Element Godhead before it.

And throughout the fusion process, Death Spring kept glancing toward God of Dark Nightmare's corpse.

At this moment, this area was both a divine realm and God of Dark Nightmare's Dominator Crater.

The numerous Level-8 Dominators had dealt God of Dark Nightmare an almost crushing blow, and in the end, they had even left him with an intact corpse.

—Faced with so many Star Realm experts, even if God of Dark Nightmare had wanted to perish together with them, it would have been a joke. It was even more impossible for him to cause Destruction Spring and the other Dominators any trouble by attempting self-destruction.

Unfortunately, Death Spring's covetousness and greed could not bring it any tangible benefits.

Death Descendant Fempton was a simple-minded brute and did not understand how to collect Spoils of War.

However, before carrying out its combat mission, the Dominator-class Corpse Refinement Synthetic Beast Fermton had received a complete set of Battle Orders from the shrewd Naige'er.

Death Element Godheads could be handed over to Destruction Spring to nurture its subordinates.

But God of Dark Nightmare's corpse was also excellent Dominator-class Being material, perfect for replenishing Naige'er's stock of Corpse Refinement Synthetic Beasts.

Naige'er had it hard! Besides conducting his own experiments to accumulate materials, the Old Man also wanted to save up a dowry for his Daughter.

Though Rose had never said some things aloud, Naige'er understood them well.

The Dominator-class Being materials that had belonged to God of Dark Nightmare were quickly divided up.

What was cleansed next were the Crystal Wall World Group legions under God of Dark Nightmare and the God of Savagery and Violence.

For the two of them, their greatest difficulty had not actually been the overwhelming strength of the Wizard Civilization Dominators around them, but the fact that they had not received the Crystal Wall World Group's full support!

The strongest, God of the Stars, had remained completely indifferent, while the Moon Goddess had even stood on the Wizard Civilization's side from the very beginning.

With that as the premise, how could the unrest caused by these two Level-7 Main Gods possibly turn things around?

Following God of Dark Nightmare's fall, the God of Savagery and Violence would not last much longer either.

Pinned between the Three Civilization Supreme Treasures, the God of Savagery and Violence had endured until now partly because he had also followed the Path of Strength in the field of passive evolution, but more importantly, Naige'er, Lisa, and the others had not yet gone all out.

Otherwise, even with an Eternal Soul, the God of Savagery and Violence could never have lasted this long.

"How much longer do you think this guy can hold on?" Destruction Giant Ape Wukong asked, casually draping an arm over God of the Stars' shoulders.

God of the Stars did not answer.

Destruction Giant Ape Wukong continued on his own, "I think he can last thirty years at most."

The God of Savagery and Violence had also sensed that he could not break out and escape. Thus, in the following battle, he fought desperately as well.

Destruction Giant Ape Wukong quite enjoyed this kind of life-or-death contest of strength.

As it watched the scene before it with clicking admiration, Destruction Giant Ape Wukong pulled something else from its robe.

This time, it took out a Yellow Plum. After wiping it against the black fur on its chest, it took a huge bite.

Only after eating two-thirds of the Yellow Plum did it belatedly ask God of the Stars beside it, "Want a taste? This is a spiritual fruit from our Immortal Domain that ripens only once every few thousand years."

Sure enough, compared with the Bostan Civilization Battlefield and the Faceless One battlefield, the Crystal Wall World Group battlefield was the war zone that concluded more quickly.

When Naige'er and the others sent Saine word that they had settled the rebellion in the Crystal Wall World Group, at least half of the Bostan Civilization Fleet Group before Saine still maintained a relatively high fighting spirit.

The main reason was that Saine's side had too few Level-7 Peak forces, leaving them unable to crush the Bostan Civilization Fleet Group before them.

Moreover, the rebellious Bostan Civilization Fleet Group still possessed combat power comparable to a Level-8 Late-Stage being. On the Crystal Wall World Group's side, the strongest was merely the Level-8 Mid-Stage God of Savagery and Violence, while among the other Level-7 Dominators, only God of Dark Nightmare had joined his rebellion.

In terms of war scale, it was fundamentally Inferior To the Bostan Civilization Battlefield where Saine was.

After resolving the war in the Crystal Wall World Group, Naige'er did not withdraw immediately. He still needed to have a proper talk with God of the Stars of the Crystal Wall World Group.

Following this incident in the Wizard Civilization, its future diplomatic relations with the Crystal Wall World Group, as well as the Rule Contracts signed by both sides, would have to change.

Naige'er was needed there to hold down the fort.

Destruction Giant Ape Wukong was truly a loyal fellow. So long as it stood there, God of the Stars would not dare make any reckless moves!

After sensing Destruction Giant Ape Wukong's oppressive aura at close range, God of the Stars frankly admitted to himself that he was no match for Destruction Giant Ape Wukong.

"I'll lead the Zerg Legion to give Saine and the others a hand."

"I'll leave this place to you, Master Naige'er, and the others." Standing atop Death Descendant Fempton's back, Blade Queen Lisa spoke to the Dominators on the Starry Sky Battlefield before her.

Several fierce and tyrannical Zerg Dominators followed closely behind Blade Queen Lisa.

Having undergone the baptism of over ten thousand years of Civilization War, these Zerg Dominators were clearly fundamentally different from the Main Gods of the Crystal Wall World Group.

"Alright, go ahead. If anything comes up, call for this Old Man again, or have Douglas, who's remaining at the War Command Headquarters, handle it." Naige'er nodded to Blade Queen Lisa.

Blade Queen Lisa gave a slight nod. She then glanced toward Destruction Spring before swiftly heading off to reinforce Saine and the others.

Destruction Spring's condition was very abnormal at this time.

After successfully taking down God of Dark Nightmare, and after the God of Savagery and Violence had finally been put to death as well, this fellow absorbed another massive surge of Destruction Power and finally began to lose control of itself.

Surging Destruction Tidal Waves and ripples spread in every direction from Destruction Spring as their center.

Even the Grade-12 Black Lotus of Destruction beneath Destruction Spring's true Dominator form seemed somehow darker and larger than the Grade-12 Black Lotus beneath Destruction Giant Ape Wukong.

Its blackness was heart-palpitating!

This was the power of destruction.

At some point, Wukong, who had been chewing on the spiritual fruit, tossed away the pit in its hand.

A Level-5 subsidiary spring called Ding Ding Clear Spring from the Myriad Springs World Cluster was quite perceptive. It promptly stepped forward and caught the fruit pit, though who knew whether it had the ability to cultivate it later.

Destruction Giant Ape Wukong, with the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle condensed once more in its hand, flew toward Destruction Spring, whose state was clearly wrong.

Besides being the famed Heavenly Equaling Great Sage of the Immortal Domain, Wukong was also Buddhism Sect's Victorious Fighting Buddha!

Dense golden Buddhist light emerged from the Golden Hoop on Wukong's forehead.

Wukong himself had naturally not had his will corroded by Destruction Power, but Destruction Spring before him was in a far less favorable state.

Back then, Destruction Spring had served as God of Destruction Locke's mount for a time. It had some old ties with Wukong, so since Wukong had seen this, it could not simply ignore it entirely.

"Hey, wake up. Don't get completely lost in it..." Destruction Giant Ape Wukong said as it flew toward Destruction Spring.

But before Wukong could fully approach, Destruction Spring, trapped in a muddled and oppressive state, suddenly attacked Wukong!

Dense Destruction Power surged toward Wukong!

With a beautiful flip and flash, Wukong naturally avoided being harmed by Destruction Spring.

However, this fellow had not truly intended to attack Wukong. The immense Destruction Power condensed into a cone, and Destruction Spring's real target was God of the Stars behind Destruction Giant Ape!

When God of the Stars saw the Destruction Power rushing toward him, his expression changed instantly in the rear of the battlefield.

At this time, Yin, the Level-8 Peak powerhouse, still remained on this battlefield.

Yin, whose previous battle could only be considered a warm-up, watched with interest to see how God of the Stars would respond to this situation.
