Don’t mention the present Udi—even a Legendary Tier Three powerhouse wouldn’t dare make a guarantee.

After all, strength disparity is one thing, but in terms of reaction and speed, the gap usually isn’t ridiculously vast.

"Now that I’ve entered the Eight-Ring Spell: Anti-Magic Field, if I approach Victor and cast this spell, I can forbid him from using teleportation artifacts." Udi pondered for a moment, eventually deciding to temporarily abandon the thought of confronting Victor.

Wait a bit longer.

No rush.

When his strength grows to the point of overwhelming Victor without any missteps, then it’ll be time to act.

In fact, if Udi wanted, he could now easily possess the power to kill Victor—as long as the two million old Void Followers of the Tal Plane, coupled with the three million old Void Demons of the Abyssal Lava Wilderness Plane, offered their souls, flesh, and energy to merge with Udi.

But doing so would undoubtedly be draining the pond to catch fish.

"When faced with an unbeatable crisis, this would be my ultimate trump card," Udi thought calmly to himself.

The Dragon Pool—the Black Dragon Lord gradually opened its brown-yellow dragon eyes, emerging from its contemplation.

It gazed at the fifty-one steadfast Void Descendants standing atop the stone pillars and spoke, its voice deep and thundering,

"Go to the abyss and spread the void’s power recklessly for me!"

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The pitch-black Void Descendants responded with a low growl to the Black Dragon Lord’s command, their massive dragon bodies vibrating with expansive Dragon Wings, fluttering into the white light grand gate unfolding midair.

On the other side of the Any Gate lay the sea domain with the Teleportation Altar set up.

On the deserted island, numerous Dragon Vein Mages, having received the orders, began channeling vast amounts of Magic Power into the Teleportation Altar, serving as a ’power source’ of flesh.

Under the influx of vast Magic Power, the Teleportation Altar slowly illuminated, then emitted a pillar of Spiritual Light skyrocketing into the heavens.

One by one, fifty-one Void Descendants—each with a minimum body length of twenty-five meters—disappeared into the pillar of Spiritual Light.

Simultaneously, on the Abyssal Lava Wasteland Plane, a powerful group of Void Descendants with varying Mutated Talents descended.

And this was just the first wave!

Soon, a second wave, a third wave, carrying the Black Dragon Lord’s Void Power pressed into the abyss.

As for why not target the Tal Plane and Ghost Race Plane?

They don’t target the Ghost Race Plane because the warfare there is too fierce; last time Udi spread Void Power, he nearly got discovered. Sending much weaker Void Descendants there would almost certainly lead to being spotted.

And why not focus on the Tal Plane?

No, no, no.

That’s because the Black Dragon Lord intends to personally, and spur all Black Wing Nest followers to spread.

Technically, many races on the Tal Plane, due to their faith in Divine Spirits, have long assigned their souls.

If Udi were to taint them into Void Creatures and ultimately harvest them whole, that would be stealing from the Divine Spirit’s bowl.

And it’s not one Divine Spirit—it’s a whole group of them!

Udi believes he won’t lag behind any Divine Spirit in future potential, but he’s also not foolish enough to think he can provoke them all now.

Provoking one Divine Spirit, Udi could still hide in the Ghost Race Plane, biding his time until his strength reverses the tide.

But provoking a group of Divine Spirits?

Udi wonders if he could even escape the Ghost Race Plane.

Divine Spirits can’t easily disrupt the Material Plane, but that doesn’t mean they can’t drag the Material Plane away.

For example, a powerful Demon Lord could corrupt and degenerate an invaded Material Plane, then pull it into the abyss, merging it.

At this point, the so-called protection of the Material Plane is void. The Abyss is a place where Divine Spirits can unleash their power without restraint.

Though Divine Spirits can’t drag the Material Plane into the Abyss like Demon Lords, they can still haul it to their Divine Kingdom’s vicinity as decoration.

Soon after the Void Descendants left for the abyss, the Black Dragon Lord summoned Shiji.

...

The Dragon Pool.

The massive Black Dragon lowered its fearsome head slightly, gazing at the tall, robust Kobold approaching below.

"Shiji, spread my power, then incite slaughter throughout the war."

"As you command," Shiji nodded slightly.

While increasing the number of Void Followers, naturally, some interest must be taken.

But directly harvesting Void Followers is undoubtedly the minimal profit choice.

Thus, the Black Dragon Lord intends to stir war, simultaneously training the Void Followers, enhancing their power, so they yield more power upon dying.

At the same time, they can expand the Black Wing Nest’s lands.

Will this provoke the Pan-Continent Alliance Army’s animosity?

Let them fend for themselves.

The Crimson Nest has essentially digested the Northern Continent, marching on to the Central Domain—the Pan-Continent Alliance Army’s heartland.

At this point, the Pan-Continent Alliance Army should worry more about themselves than the southern Black Dragon Lord.

Should the Pan-Continent Alliance Army truly mobilize against the Black Wing Nest, then as a last resort, Udi could join the Crimson Nest temporarily.

If he joins the Crimson Nest, wouldn’t they need to send strong allies over to aid him?

...

South of the wasteland, the Kas Duchy territory.

The Black Wing Legion marched with less than orderly footsteps, yet intimidating, arriving at the northern border of Kas Duchy—Karen City.

Upon the walls of Karen City, the guarding army swallowed nervously, eyes wide with fear as they watched the black masses approach the city.

Within the army were two-and-a-half-meter-tall Kobolds, Goblin Warriors, five to six meters tall Giant Demon Warriors, and Bear Goblins Warriors covered in dense fur, akin to giant bears.

In the sky, Gray Eagle Monsters wielded bows, ready to harvest lives below in Karen City.

"Kill!"

Under the command of a Master-level Black Wing Commander, tens of thousands of Black-winged Warriors charged like a steel torrent at the towering city walls above tens of meters high.

An hour later.

Karen City, on the Kas Duchy’s border, fell.

Except for the few thousand humans who resisted and were slaughtered, after ingesting a dark red pill, the Black Wing Legion ignored the rest and pressed deeper into the Kas Duchy.

Along the way, the Black Wing Legion captured cities like pulling weeds, meeting no significant resistance.

On the third day, the Black Wing Legion was beneath the Kas Duchy’s capital city.

Then... after killing ten thousand and slaughtering all resisting humans, they breached the city with ease.

And only then did the Black Wing Legion’s commander learn that the Duke of Purple Thorn fled long ago.

Taking his family and the duchy’s elite Purple Thorn Legion south.

The Black Wing Legion’s commander merely scoffed, continuing the invasion of other cities and villages within the Kas Duchy.

Dark red pills infused with extremely weak Void Power were also consumed during this process by the humans.

Besides the Kas Duchy, the Black Wing Nest also invaded the Barbarian Royal Court territory (original bulk of the Yalbit Kingdom territory, largely ceded to the Barbarian Royal Court now).

Barbarian King Victor, upon receiving this information, was a bit startled, but realizing the war raged on for days without a sign of the Black Dragon Lord, he sighed with slight relief.

"The Black Wing Nest’s army isn’t insanely strong nor weak; seems they’re here for training." Victor furrowed his brows.

After pondering a bit, he realized the Barbarian Royal Court could only confront them.

"If they’re training, then we’ll train too!" Victor snorted coldly.

Meanwhile, at sea, Fitz began his expansion outward.

In the Dragon Pool.

Udi sensed the ever-growing number of Void Followers and the perpetual power converging upon him as each Void Follower died.

Nurtured by these small, weak, yet constant streams of power, Udi could acutely sense his power slowly increasing.
