With matters here settled, Lear prepared to return to his territory.

A thought stirred.

The Land of Crimson Rot covering the earth rolled up like a scroll and vanished from the surface.

With authority in hand, a significant burden was lifted, allowing for a lighter approach in the future.

This return marked a brand-new beginning.

Even if the future journey isn't smooth, it now has a perfect start.

But just as he was about to set off, he suddenly turned his head to look at the boggy ground on the side.

His pupils contracted sharply.

The next moment, bang~ the earth suddenly exploded.

Mud flew everywhere, the stench of the bog assaulting his nostrils.

In the murky mud water, a pitch-black worm with a gigantic triangular mouth leaped into the air, coming to bite him.

Body length over 30 meters!

Like an ancient giant beast.

The emergence of such a colossal creature from the mud brought with it an overwhelming sense of pressure.

At this moment, he could clearly see that the worm had no eyes, only its peculiar triangular mouth when open.

The sharp teeth could easily crush an elephant.

Earth Core Blind Worm, Level 14...

In that instant.

Lear extended his right hand, and the War Intent Chains swirling around him surged and condensed into a blade.

His five fingers gripped the hilt and swung down.

"Slash!"

The next moment, the illusory blade in his hand erupted with shocking power.

The giant worm leaping in mid-air only felt a sharp pain in its head, its body suddenly stiffening, its soul extinguished in an instant.

Like a candle blown out.

Bang~

The massive body slammed heavily into the bog, splashing foul-smelling mud water a hundred meters high.

The murky water fell again with a crash, like a torrential downpour.

In that instant, phoo~ phoo~

The earth was torn open again, and two terrifying giant worms suddenly appeared.

Like fish attracted by bait, ready to swallow Lear whole.

With the Blade of Battle Intent held again, a second swing!

"Kill!"

Phoo~ the invisible blade penetrated its mind.

The terrifying battle intent directly obliterated its soul.

The body remained intact, but it was already dead.

Bang~ It crashed down heavily... the second torrential downpour fell.

The last remaining giant worm lunged at him.

Lear focused his gaze.

A mud hand suddenly rose from the bog below, reaching up to the sky.

Directly grasping the giant worm, crunch~ and suddenly tightened.

The worm, unable to leverage its position in mid-air, was pulled down forcefully.

At that moment.

A mud-formed spear shot up from the surface.

Extending to a height of more than ten meters.

The wriggling worm in the air was grabbed by the mud hand and violently thrust onto the spear.

Phoo~

Under the weight of its own body, combined with the pulling force of the mud hand, the spear acted upward.

The mud spear pierced directly through the giant worm, penetrating its body, exposing a tip full of green sap.

Roar~

A chillingly painful wail echoed through the sky.

The giant worm squirmed wildly, the mud splattered loudly, sending misty mud water everywhere.

Like a fish flopping on land.

But the mud spear remained unmoving like an unshakeable mountain, no matter how much it struggled.

Yet the Earth Core Blind Worm's life force was also remarkable, as it struggled for four to five minutes without showing signs of stopping.

Lear raised an eyebrow.

The mud blade suddenly extended spikes horizontally from its abdomen, phoo~ penetrating through the abdomen, directly piercing its head...

The body stiffened instantly, twitched a few times, then its breath gradually became calm.

Level 14 Earth Core Blind Worm, killed three in an instant!

Below, the Ancient Tree Guardian witnessing this scene shivered slightly in its canopy...

After grasping authority, as long as he was in the swamp, he could directly wield the power of the entire swamp, showing a glimpse of divine majesty.

And a god cannot be defied.

Only at this moment did Lear truly possess high-tier combat power.

He glanced downward at the massive, wall-like, winding corpse with no more movement, a thought crossing his mind.

A small patch of the Land of Crimson Rot unfolded, directly swallowing the Earth Core Blind Worms into it.

Monsters of this size and level 14 were a significant gain.

Used to feed the Crimson Demon Iron Ore, it could at least produce hundreds of pieces.

Earth Core Blind Worms typically reside hundreds to thousands of meters deep underground.

It was evidently the presence of authority they sensed that prompted them to surface.

However... they surfaced too late, giving away some free kills.

Thanks for the little gift, my friend.

With this unexpected incident quietly resolved, Lear wasted no time and walked through the air, heading back to his territory.

The Ancient Tree Guardians rooted in the earth slowly withdrew their roots, beginning their return journey.

This battle was a clash among high-tier heroes.

The Level 12 Ancient Tree Guardians could only watch from below.

Bringing them was just a precaution.

Upon returning to the territory, several heroes had already led the Cold-blooded Cavalry to intercept the wilderness monsters entering the swamp.

Within the territory, only the King of Naga and the Corrupted Naga remained to guard.

The monsters attracted by authority weren't particularly strong, and a few heroes were enough to quell them.

If he weren't worried about destroying crops and collapsing pig pens and fish ponds, he wouldn't have been so anxious.

This incident sparked an additional idea in Lear.

As the territory expands and grows, future enemies will become fiercer.

Although the swamp was cleaned up now, those vacated areas were unprotected.

In the future, should the entire swamp be armed, turning it into a Forbidden Land of Death with no exit?
