Exegesis
The genitive phrase archaiou kosmou {ἀρχαίου κόσμου | arkhaíou kósmou} ‘of the ancient world’ is governed by the aorist middle indicative verb epheisato {ἐφείσατο | epheísato} ‘he spared’, negated by ouk {οὐκ | ouk} ‘not’, yielding “did not spare.”
In context — 2 Peter 2:5
And He showed no mercy to the ancient world, but He upheld Noah, the eighth herald of righteousness, when He brought the flood upon the ungodly world.
