After the Heavenly Sword Emperor teleported out and escaped with his tail between his legs, Asura just kept staring at the location of the Floating Continents located on the Eastern Continent, or the Eastern Warlock World, as the local warlocks called it.
"Elder, we managed to secure the entire Sub Continent, and altogether 2 Holy Spirit Warlocks were killed together with 5 Warlock Monarchs."
Reported Lord General Behemoth, as he was finished with securing of the Kharo Subcontinent.
"Plant the Dawn Pillar and construct the fortress around it and active the bounded field, just like Zeoticus said."
Answered Asura nonchalantly as he returned to his more normal and amiable state.

Fuso Subcontinent, around the same time.
When Hela descended on the Fuso Subcontinent, it could be described only as the end of the time. Fuso Subcontinent was once one of the stronger subcontinents. Still, after the Crown Prince of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator took the Fuso Divine Tree, the subcontinent suffered greatly due to that. Still, it was nothing compared to what was happening right now.
In a moment, Hela set foot on the subcontinent; she released her Astral Necrotic Army as billions of undead started swallowing the entire subcontinent like a tsunami, as slaughtering every human they could find.
She unleashed her Godhood, Black Empress of Death, to the maximum, as she boosted up the combat prowess of her undead, as she collected all souls from the killed warlocks, as each soul that was killed by her undead was automatically collected by her Godhood, refined and absorbed as pure Soul Power, which slightly increased her Godhood Index.
Basically, the more death she caused, the more souls she obtained, and the more powerful she grew.
Hundreds of thousands of souls were collected with each passing second as the Necrotic flood passed through the entire Fuso Subcontinent, as it reminded the undead calamity to some. All of the souls that were collected by Hela were instantly refined to the Soul Power, and part of it was absorbed by her Godhood.
In contrast, another part was sent toward the Astral Undead to evolve them slowly; in this way, she could continuously strengthen her Astral Undeads so they would get more and more powerful as time passed.
"The place should be cleared... plant the Dawn Pillar."
Stated Hela after one hour.
It took one hour for an entire subcontinent populated by billions of humans to become a complete wasteland as every human was found and killed mercilessly by her undead hordes.
"This was a good one; my Godhood Index increased tremendously thanks to this..."
She muttered under her breath as she felt her strength being greatly enhanced as her Godhood absorbed several billions of souls, and many of those souls belonged to Warokcs, from which countless of them were ranging from Great Warlocks to even Glorious Sun Warlocks, and there were a few Bright World Warlocks.
While their individual strength was nothing in front of Hela, they were numbering in immeasurable numbers. Souls of Warlocks were surprisingly strong and had great numbers.
With her special refining method, she was able to create a lot of Soul Power from the souls she captured.

Ixnor Subcontinent
Ixnor Subcontinent was home to a reclusive Warlock Faction called Huanggong, who were practically as close to their cultivation origins as possible, as even calling them Warlocks would be weird at that point.
Warlocks of the Huanggong were a solitary bunch that rarely left the Palace where they had their headquarters and spent all of their time meditating, understanding the will of the heavens, or pursuing immortality.
Diablo left the 7th Army Silver Lycan to their own devices as he went directly to the Imperial Palace of the Huanggong; as he turned to his Fiend form, from his more human form, he struck with his fist and destroyed a large part of the Imperial Palace in a single hit.
Warlocks of the Huanggong screamed in fear as the Diablo in his Fiend Emperor form descended down, and wreaked havoc among them, instantly slaughtering everything above Infinity Warlock Realm as he killed around fifteen Warlock Monarchs and four Holy Spirit Warlocks in a short time.
Diablo was a bit surprised to find such a strong Warlock Faction among the warlocks of the surface world and not that of the Core World.
'They must have something that increased their strength.'
Thought Diablo as he kept killing his way through the Imperial Place of Huanggong, occasionally stuffing some of the warlocks into his mouth and eating them, as he soon arrived at the place that appeared to be some kind of vault after he had killed practically everyone in the sect.
Unfortunately, the stronger person was the Advanced Holy Spirit Warlock, who was the Palace Master of the Huanggong; though he was pretty close to reaching Great Step Holy Spirit Warlock, he was still killed in a split of a second and eaten.
From memories of eaten Sect Master, Grand Elder, and a few Elders, he found out that the Warlocks of the Huanggong managed to encounter several cultivators from another universe. After expanding a lot of manpower, they managed to kill their opponents and snatch up their interspatial rings, where they found countless cultivation techniques and other things.
After they combined these things with their own Warlock Path, they managed to increase their own power in short ten years, countless times.
"They were pretty lucky... managing to encounter a bunch of rogue cultivators who fell into void tunnels and arrived in our Universe. Ts... if not for us, we would have witnessed the rise of the new golden age of Warlocks."
Stated Diablo as he has quickly gone through all of his memories, and he was deeply shocked that the cultivation methods that the Huanggong developed with the things they got from the cultivators from another universe were even outclassing the techniques of Six Warlock Imperial Courts.
"Of course! Warlocks were made by ancient Arcanists and Magicians observing the cultivators from various Universe by adjusting the Path to fit with the Laws and Aspects of the Astral Boundary... and Huanggong just adjusted the Warlock Path closer to its origin."
Laughed Diablo as he took everything in the vaults of the Huanggong and stored it in his dimensional storage.
