These words were roared out by Zhou Huai, drawing upon all the power from the depths of his soul!

This roar contained all his resentment and anger over the past five years, as well as his determination to never bow down even if it meant being shattered to pieces!

As the roar subsided, Yasuo pulled his longsword from the ground, transforming it into a dazzling bolt of lightning that surged upwards towards Mr. Duan's throat, slashing fiercely!

However.

Faced with this thunderous and desperate attack.

Mr. Duan didn't even blink.

The pity in his eyes vanished completely, replaced by a cold gaze that regarded him as a dead man.

"Stubborn and obstinate".

He gently raised his right hand and casually waved it in the air at ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ Yasuo, who was charging towards him.

The movements were unremarkable.

He simply waved his hand dismissively!

"Bang--!!!"

Yasuo's tall and imposing figure froze in mid-air.

Then, the SS-class body, which contained the power of violent lightning, was detonated from the inside by an invisible force and shattered into pieces!

Blood, flesh, and bone fragments, mixed with the still-burning lightning, scattered and flew everywhere in the air above the Gobi Desert.

Without hesitation!

Without any hesitation or delay!

This man, known as the leader of the Dawn Guild and a self-proclaimed Transcendent, so casually ended the life of Yasuo, the Thunder Swordsman!

"Ugh—!"

Zhou Huai's true form opened his eyes, panting heavily. Cold sweat soaked his clothes, and his heart pounded violently in his chest.

The terrifying pain of having his SS-grade body explode from the inside out, even though it was only transmitted through the consciousness link, still made him tremble uncontrollably.

Now is not the time to give up completely!

Zhou Huai forcibly suppressed the pain deep in his soul, closed his eyes, and shifted his consciousness once again.

Dozens of kilometers away, on the Gobi Desert where the wind howls.

Zhou Huai's consciousness descended upon the Shadow Demon Lord Moria.

"Eternal Night Domain! Open!"

The next second, the surrounding sky darkened, and the once bright Gobi Desert was pulled into an endless darkness where no one could see their own hand in front of their face and even light could be completely swallowed up.

In this dark realm, Moria is the sole ruler, and all senses and energy fluctuations are ruthlessly stripped away by this darkness.

However, Mr. Duan, who was in the center of an endless vortex of darkness and whose sight had been completely taken away, simply shook his head.

He didn't even adopt a defensive stance; his hands remained casually tucked into the pockets of his gray overcoat.

"Aren't you going to give up the fight?"

Mr. Duan began to speak on his own.

"Zhou Huai, can't you see the difference between us? Your so-called dark domain is nothing but a child's game in my eyes."

“I’ve said it before, I’ve transcended the rules. Your domain can’t confine me.” Mr. Duan chuckled, his tone like that of someone reprimanding a naughty child.

"Can't hold you? Then try this!" Zhou Huai controlled Moria, his voice coming from the darkness all around, resolute.

Before the words were finished, a gray figure appeared in the darkness.

It was none other than the Great Sage Li Er who had just forcibly transferred Mr. Duan here!

Li Er was merely a newly created avatar, not even reaching level ten, yet his hair and beard stood on end, and his once gaunt face was now filled with a resolute determination to face death. Golden law runes flowed within his turbid eyes.

Li Er stared directly at Mr. Duan in the darkness, his mouth filled with the power of Heaven's Law, and with all the strength he had left, he unleashed the power of words that could reverse the course of events onto Mr. Duan! 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Imprisonment—for five seconds!"

Upon hearing this, the invisible power of the laws of heaven transformed into divine punishment chains, ignoring the barriers of space and darkness, and wrapped around Mr. Duan.

Mr. Duan's previously composed figure suddenly paused. The finger he was about to raise was abruptly frozen in mid-air.

A look of surprise finally appeared in his usually calm eyes.

"This puppet?"

Mr. Duan squinted and carefully examined the old man in the coarse Taoist robe not far away, and then smiled with great interest.

"It's actually an SSS-rank?"

"Interesting, really interesting!" Instead of being angry about being imprisoned, Mr. Duan burst into laughter. "Zhou Huai, just how many secrets are you hiding? You even managed to get your hands on an SSS-level puppet, and this power system... I've never even seen it before."

"It seems that you, this variable, are even more surprising than I imagined!"

Faced with Mr. Duan's maniacal laughter, Zhou Huai made no response, for the price was about to be paid.

The words had an immediate effect, imprisoning Mr. Duan for a mere five seconds. However, the backlash from the laws of the law resulting from forcibly imprisoning a terrifying being who surpassed SSS-level and claimed to be a transcendent being was extremely terrifying!

While Mr. Duan was immobilized, the tens of thousands of merit points that Li Er had accumulated in the dungeon were completely deducted.

This is still not enough to repay the terrible price of the law.

Immediately afterwards, the dark clouds in the sky parted, and an incredibly thick bolt of heavenly lightning struck down from nowhere, slamming heavily into Li Er's body!

Before he could even utter a scream, the Great Sage Li Er was cleaved into black charcoal by the terrifying backlash of lightning, turning into ashes and disappearing into the darkness.

Unfortunately, Li Er's level was less than 10. Even though he possessed the only hidden SSS-level class with the ability to make his words come true, his strength was far too weak in the face of this level of backlash.

However, Li Er has already achieved his goal!

For Zhou Huai, five seconds of confinement was a golden opportunity to kill! This was the only chance he had gained by trading Li Er's life!

In the blink of an eye, the moment Li Er's words took effect and Mr. Duan was frozen in place, Moria appeared in the darkness above Mr. Duan's head.

A small, antique-style seal, entirely black, was magnified in Moria's hands.

Divine artifact, the Heaven-Suppressing Seal!

Moria frantically formed hand seals in front of his chest, draining his vast magical power without reservation, all of which flowed into the black seal in his palms.

As energy was injected, the Heaven-Suppressing Seal burst forth with dazzling golden divine light, forcefully opening up a golden sky in this endless realm of eternal night!

The ancient patterns on the seal's surface came to life, with golden dragon phantoms swirling and dancing around it, emitting deafening dragon roars.

Riding the wind and swelling, it transformed in the blink of an eye into a majestic golden mountain hundreds of meters high!

The oppressive force, powerful enough to suppress the laws of heaven and earth, caused the rocks on the Gobi Desert below to levitate, only to be pulverized by the terrifying gravity. The surrounding space began to collapse under this pressure, emitting a series of teeth-grinding cracking sounds.

"town!"

Moria raised his hands high and used all his strength to guide the golden seal, which shone brightly, to smash it down on Mr. Duan, who was imprisoned below!

The Heaven-Suppressing Seal, carrying a world-destroying aura, transformed into a falling golden meteor, intending to crush the man below into a bloody pulp!

Zhou Huai stared at the mountain of gold that crashed down, his consciousness screaming wildly: "Even if you are a transcendent being, under the suppression of this divine artifact, I will still skin you alive!"
