After the Rift-Splitting Emperor Monarch fled, the World-Devouring Emperor Monarch was the first to react.
The Myriad-Origin Heaven-Devouring Ring surrounding his rule true body contracted by half in an instant.
This Emperor Monarch-level being did not retreat immediately, but he had clearly diverted a considerable portion of his attention to the Rift-Splitting Emperor Monarch's situation after his escape back to Source-Devouring Time-Space.

His opponent was clearly only a Level-12 Late-Stage life-form, yet
