Sounds of rustling ca from underground.
Within the soil layers, it was as if countless ants were crawling.
Before long, layers upon layers of pitch-black, monstrous insects began erging on the Earth.
So were small, about the size of wild dogs, while others were as massive as giant elephants.
So were even over one hundred ters in length.
Their bodies were covered in durable heavy armor, gleaming with a tallic sheen, with six legs like sharp blades.
Every one of them, without exception, was a sixth-level Famine Worm.
They belonged to the special soldier species known as the [Famine Raiders].
Each one was an extrely troubleso Nightmare Lord.
With bodies forged of iron armor, impervious to blades and bullets, and blade-like legs capable of slicing through anything.
In fact, even the weaker Famine Worms were imnsely dangerous.
Their mouthparts could chew through anything, even sixth-circle defensive fields.
Their flapping wings could create terrifying negative energy storms.
On this day.
Throughout the Nightmare World, after hibernating for a thousand years, countless Famine Worms broke out of their shells.
They gathered together, forming black mist, their noise resonating for hundreds, even thousands of miles, like thunderclaps.
Whether it be the territory of Nightmare Monarchs or Nightmare Lords, they were equally unrciful.
...
Outside the Black Dragon Territory.
This was Levi’s stronghold.
It was guarded personally by him.
Additionally, a [Phantom Apostle Group] led by the Thousand Illusion Knight was stationed here to alternate shifts with him.
Then there was the Nightmare Creature army native to the Black Dragon Territory.
It could be said that Levi relied on his own strength to defend the Black Dragon Territory.
Levi had deployed the forces of the Ancient Dragon Continent to other territories.
Both Hundred Flowers and Triss had also gone to Seven Sins City.
Ensuring that each territory had at least two sixth-level guardians so as not to lose any ground.
Yet, due to the thousand-year locust plague, Levi was ntally prepared to lose so territories.
As long as losses weren’t excessive, everything could be regained once the plague ended.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
From the distant horizon, it was as if ten thousand planes were streaking by, their engines roaring!
The Thousand Illusion Knight looked a bit tense as she gazed at the silent figure standing there.
"Commander alone—is it really going to be alright?"
She knew the commander was powerful, but facing such an intense locust swarm all alone was hard to imagine.
Soon.
Countless locusts swept down and blanketed the skies.
A black energy storm dyed the skies within a range of hundreds of miles completely black.
Levi said:
"Thousand Illusion Knight, you and the battle group are responsible for cleaning up the locusts I miss."
Thousand Illusion Knight replied:
"Understood, Commander, take care!"
Levi’s figure vanished.
The storm ford by countless locusts swept toward him.
"Shadow Dragon Group! Attack!"
At his command, shadows behind Levi erupted.
Three thousand soldiers from the Black Shadow Army surged forth like tidal waves.
Among them, the most striking was undoubtedly the shadow centipede hundreds of ters long and the arrogant golden brain!
Thousands upon thousands of spells and spell-like abilities lit up the sky like fireworks.
In an instant, tens of thousands of locusts were annihilated, Nightmare Crystals falling like raindrops.
Levi gripped the Crimson Dragon Slash tightly, his figure stepped forward, arriving before a [Famine Raider] that was recklessly slaughtering shadows.
This Raider exuded an aura not inferior to a sixth-level early-stage powerhouse.
Behind Levi, an invisible dragonlike aura surged, solidifying into substance as if it were an emperor’s cloak!
"Sky Dragon Path!"
Among the Ten Evil Martial Arts, the Sky Dragon Path was the most versatile.
One sword fell!
The Raider was severed in two, its vitality extinguished!
This also ant that Levi’s Shadow Army would gain an additional rank-five elite.
"Leon, collect the Raider’s corpse," Levi ordered.
The Raider’s armor was naturally sixth-level biological tal.
Perfect for forging divine weapons, Extre Battle Armor, and the Demon Extermination Shuttle.
Thus, the locust plague, while dangerous, was also an opportunity.
Among the locust swarms, there were plenty of Raiders like this.
Leon carried a woven bag crafted from spider webs, activating the "auto-pickup" function.
Following Levi closely, he was in charge of collecting spoils of war.
Occasionally, he’d also snag so locust true souls to be canned as reserve food.
But his tastes had grown picky;
other than sixth-level ones, he ignored the rest.
According to Leon, these lower-level food items were no longer nutritious for him. Eating too many just took up space in his stomach.
Over the following hours, Levi charged through the locust swarm seven tis in succession.
One Raider after another fell under his sword.
Whether they were sixth-level early-stage, late-stage, or even peak-tier.
To Levi now, they required at most one or two swings of his sword to be dealt with.
He and the Shadow Dragon Group successfully stalled the locust army spanning hundreds of miles.
Watching from afar, the Thousand Illusion Knight opened her small mouth slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with awe.
"Incredible!"
mbers of the Phantom Apostle Group were even more stunned.
With a thought, three thousand shadow soldiers followed him!
Any sixth-level enemy fell within a single sword stroke!
Though they had imagined such strength in their minds before.
Seeing it in person was entirely different.
And so.
Taking advantage of this locust plague, Levi used live combat to enhance his proficiency in the [Extre Dao Strategy].
The results were far superior to regular training.
Although Levi’s current [Extre Dao Strategy] was at level-seven, only requiring tens of thousands of proficiency points.
This was because the proficiency panel had been calibrated during the fusion.
The current level-seven actually corresponded to his seventh-level realm.
Acquiring 1 proficiency point now was vastly more challenging compared to the past breathing techniques at level-seven.
On the ground, the pile of locust corpses continued to grow larger and larger.
