Zhou Huai spoke calmly, with the composure of someone in a superior issuing orders.

As soon as the words were spoken, the six people, who were immersed in past hatred, came back to their senses.

The burly man wielding the black harpoon's expression changed drastically. He stepped forward, his imposing figure blocking Elder Mo's path. His muscles taut as he stared at Zhou Huai, wary of any sudden, ferocious attack.

Why are you asking this?

The burly man's voice was deep and hoarse, the harpoon in his hand slightly raised, its tip gleaming with a dangerous dark light. "That's a forbidden area of ​​our Seventh World! A nightmare that we've been suppressing with our lives for generations! What are your intentions, you, a professional from the mortal world, inquiring about its whereabouts?"

Not only him, but also the twin strong men with broken arms, the alluring woman with charred blackened bodies, and the cold young man, all of them were now struggling to support their injured bodies, forming a semi-encircling formation to protect the small boat in the center, their eyes filled with hostility and defensiveness.

In their eyes, although Zhou Huai was incredibly powerful, he was, after all, an outsider of unknown origin. The power of that sea god was far too terrifying; if any mishap led to the seal breaking, the entire Castrandis ruins, and even the present world, would face annihilation!

Faced with the group's tense demeanor, Zhou Huai merely glanced at them indifferently, speaking as casually as if discussing the weather.

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Huai smiled and said, "Of course we have to kill it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gloomy Dead Sea fell silent.

Immediately following was a burst of snickering.

"Kill it?"

The burly man's wariness turned to mockery, his voice echoing across the sea, "How arrogant! Utterly arrogant!"

He forcefully planted the harpoon in mid-air, pointed it at Zhou Huai's nose, and roared, "Young man, I admit your laws are bizarre, and your physical defense is abnormal! We old, weak, and disabled people can't beat you! But that doesn't mean you have the right to provoke that monster!"

The cold-looking young man beside him also sneered, his eerie green eyes filled with disdain: "You have no idea how terrifying that monster is! It's an unparalleled ferocious beast nurtured by the essence of eight divine artifacts! In that era, at our peak, even with the world's top combat power gathered together, we wouldn't be enough to fill its teeth! And you alone? Go and become its dessert?"

“That’s right!” the alluring woman echoed in a shrill voice. “You only gained the upper hand just now because our strength had been greatly reduced and we couldn’t break through your defenses! In front of that real monster, your so-called strength is utterly worthless!”

Faced with the repeated mockery and belittling from this group of powerful figures from the old era, Zhou Huai not only did not get angry, but couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"oh?"

Zhou Huai chuckled softly, his shoulders trembling slightly. The laughter sounded particularly abrupt in the howling sea wind, yet it carried a heart-stopping composure.

He slowly stopped laughing, tilted his head slightly, and a hint of pity flashed in his dark golden eyes.

"That sounds like..."

"You all seem to know my strength very well."

The moment the words fell.

Zhou Huai no longer restrained himself.

"boom--!!!"

A terrifying pressure erupted from Zhou Huai's body without warning!

The calm sea surface was churned up with giant waves hundreds of meters high by this powerful force!

Zhou Huai directly released the shackles of "All Things Return to One" within his body, unleashing the power of the laws of his various clones without reservation!

The first to awaken was the power of the Insect Emperor Caesar!

"hiss--!"

A piercing chirping of insects echoed in the void, and a gigantic, sky-covering insectoid phantom appeared behind Zhou Huai. It was a terrifying totem formed from billions of mutated beetles, representing absolute devouring and endless reproduction! The dark red insect swarm laws transformed into a storm, directly devouring the surrounding gray spatial laws until they were shattered!

Immediately afterwards, the power of the Great Sage Li Er descended!

"Buzz!"

Rings of purplish-gold merit light rose from beneath Zhou Huai's feet, soaring into the sky! The vast holy light illuminated the Black Sea as bright as day. Accompanying this purplish-gold divine light was a supreme rule that transcended all things in heaven and earth—the power of words! The surrounding raging waves, upon contact with this purplish-gold light, were abruptly frozen in mid-air, as if even time itself was subdued by this power! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The third burst of power came from the domineering aura of the Heavenly Dragon Knight Arthur!

"roar--!!!"

A dragon's roar that shattered the heavens resounded throughout the entire Castlandis Ruins! Zhou Huai's Abyss Blood Battle Armor erupted with a dazzling dark golden light, and a phantom of an abyssal dragon tens of thousands of meters long circled and roared above his head! That oppressive feeling of the dragon race, originating from a higher dimension and looking down on all living beings, slammed into everyone's hearts like a tangible mountain!

Finally, there is the supreme spatial law of Viktor, the Herrscher of the Void!

"Click click click..."

The space around Zhou Huai shattered inch by inch, revealing the absolute void behind him! Silver-white spatial blades danced at his fingertips, instantly banishing any matter or law that attempted to approach to an unknown dimension. He seemed to have broken free from the constraints of this ruin, becoming a true ruler independent of both the present world and the old era!

The peak power of the four SSS-level clones, combined with the abnormal attributes of Zhou Huai's main body that had undergone high-dimensional baptism, perfectly merged at this moment!

The entire world changed color because of it!

The gloomy, overcast sky above the ruins was ripped apart by four colors: purple-gold, dark red, dark gold, and silver-white. The gale ceased, and the waves subsided.

On the small boat, the six people were now completely frozen in place.

The black harpoon in the burly man's hand clattered to the deck. His legs trembled violently, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets, staring intently at the figure in mid-air that looked like a god descending to earth, making meaningless gurgling sounds from his throat.

"What...what kind of power is this..." The cold-blooded youth fell to his knees with a thud. The tremor that came from the depths of his soul made him lose even the courage to look up.

The twin burly men and the alluring woman were deathly pale, their mouths agape, their minds completely blank, utterly unable to comprehend the horrific scene before them that had shattered their worldview.

Even the usually composed Elder Mo was now gripping the edge of the small boat tightly with his withered hands, his cloudy eyes filled with disbelief and shock, and his whole body was trembling violently.

Zhou Huai looked down at the group of terrified remnants of the old era from his high vantage point.

He held the Abyss Blood Dragon Spear, surrounded by a world-destroying four-colored law storm, and a wildly arrogant smile spread across his lips.

"See?"

Zhou Huai's voice, resonating with the various laws, was like rolling thunder, echoing in everyone's ears, "Actually, you all underestimate my strength..."

"I know nothing!"
