He couldn't even be bothered to dodge, letting the two thick, pitch-black chains, accompanied by piercing shrieks, lash viciously against his shoulders.

"Clang! Clang!"

Sparks flew everywhere!

Those Forbidden chains, which could have pulverized an ordinary Level 70 Professionals into pulp, struck the abyssal blood battle armor. Aside from leaving a shallow white mark, they couldn't penetrate even a fraction of an inch! They hadn't even managed to shake Zhou Huai's figure in the slightest!

"How is this possible?!" The twin brawny men's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "These are chains capable of sealing a Divine Artifact; why can't they even break through his defense?"

"Because you are too weak."

Zhou Huai shook his head, his tone listless.

He had been strolling leisurely within the Formation just now—not because he was trapped, but because he was actually using Viktor's 【Void Omniscience】 and Gandalf's 【Elemental Mastery】 to analyze the underlying logic of this Formation.

Now, he was done playing.

"This Formation has some tricks; it can forcibly integrate the mana of all six of you to form a closed loop. But haven't you noticed that there is a full 0.3-second delay in the mana connection between those two muscular idiots and the woman who uses mental attacks?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Rugged Man was horrified and hurriedly roared, "Change the Formation! Change the Formation quickly!"

"Too late."

Zhou Huai sneered, and his figure vanished from where he stood.

【Universe Reversal】!

Without any trajectory of spatial fluctuation, Zhou Huai directly ignored the blockade of the pitch-black chains and appeared out of thin air directly above the twin brawny men!

"Let's start dismantling from you two nodes first."

Zhou Huai didn't even use any large-scale skills that consumed mana; he simply infused the terrifying physical strength of Xiang Yu's 【Indestructible Demon God】 into his right leg and brought it down overhead like a battle axe!

"Not good! Block him!"

The twin brawny men roared, and with great tacit understanding, they simultaneously raised the pair of giant hammers in their hands, which radiated the Law of the Deep Sea, attempting to forcefully withstand this strike that felt as heavy as Mount Tai.

"Bang—!!!"

A visible white sonic boom cloud burst in mid-air!

"Crack!"

A piercing sound of bones breaking resounded through the sky. Upon contact, the two high-quality giant hammers were directly shaken out of their hands by the terrifying force. The twin brawny men's thick arms snapped, and both of them violently vomited a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

"Go down and take a bath."

Zhou Huai didn't slow his leg's momentum, stomping heavily onto their chests.

"Bang!"

The two turned into cannonballs leaving the chamber, falling straight down at a speed that broke the sound barrier, smashing fiercely into the black ocean below that was filled with the corpses of exotic beasts, splashing up a water column hundreds of meters high, and then fell completely silent.

Following the fall of the twin brawny men, the previously perfectly closed-loop black hexagram Formation collapsed at one corner!

"Hum..."

The pitch-black chains dancing all over the sky lost the support of the Law, their light rapidly dimming as they fell powerlessly.

"No! How could this be?!" The old woman was terrified to the point of desperation, her hand gripping the bone staff trembling violently. "One strike... you broke our Forbidden Formation with just one strike? What kind of level of Professionals are you?!"

"Run! We are simply no match for him!"

The cold, sinister youth, who was as thin as a rail with eyes glowing with a ghostly green light, saw that things were going poorly and no longer had his previous arrogance. He turned around without hesitation, transforming into a green afterimage, attempting to merge into the gray Void Realm in the distance.

"Since you've already come, why are you in such a rush to leave?"

Zhou Huai didn't even glance at him, simply raising his left hand casually.

【Forbidden Spell: Geocentric Gravity Field】!

"Hum!"

In front of where the cold youth was fleeing, space collapsed. A terrifying gravity field up to twenty times normal strength descended, completely enveloping the area within a hundred-meter radius.

"Ah—!"

The youth let out a shrill, miserable scream, his already thin body deforming under this heavy pressure. His flight skill was immediately rendered ineffective; his entire body was pressed down by an invisible giant hand, and with a "splash," he was smashed into the black water, without even a chance to struggle.

"Look into my eyes..."

Just at this moment, the enchanting woman wearing a deep-sea pearl dress took advantage of the gap while Zhou Huai was attacking to silently sneak to Zhou Huai's side. From her pale eyes, two spiral-shaped mental shockwaves erupted, attempting to forcibly control Zhou Huai's consciousness.

"Playing with mental attacks? Do you think you're worthy?"

Zhou Huai turned his head, lightning raging in his dark golden eyes.

There was no need to form any Seals at all; Yasuo's 【Seal of the Thunder God】 directly locked onto the target!

"Crackle—!"

A bolt from the blue!

A violent divine thunderbolt, as thick as a bucket, struck down from the gloomy sky without any warning, hitting the enchanting woman squarely on the crown of her head!

"Urgh, ahhh!"

That meager mental attack was crushed by the Law of Thunder. The enchanting woman's entire body was charred black, emitting a pungent burnt smell. The intense numbness caused her to lose all ability to move, and she fell into the sea like a piece of tattered rag.

In less than ten short seconds.

The previously arrogant six-person encirclement now only had the Rugged Man and the old woman left, still struggling to hold on.

This was completely a one-sided crushing defeat, a strike from a higher dimension!

"Monster... you monster from the present world!"

The old woman had been scared out of her wits; she understood that she couldn't escape, her eyes filled with mad determination. She bit the tip of her tongue and sprayed a mouthful of essence blood onto the bone staff, attempting to trigger the Origin of Destruction of The Seventh World to perish together with Zhou Huai.

"Too slow."

Zhou Huai's tone was icy, and with a flip of his right hand, an extreme ice-blue light gathered in his palm.

Exotic Ice · 【Heart of Aurora】! Combined with 【Forbidden Spell: Thousand Mile Ice Seal】!

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The extreme cold crossed the distance of space and descended directly onto the old woman.

The old woman hadn't even managed to finish her Spell chant before the absolute zero, which was enough to freeze the Soul, spread wildly upward from her ankles.

"You..."

She only had time to utter one word before her entire person was completely frozen into a lifelike, azure-blue ice sculpture. Her terrified expression, her flying gray-white hair, and even the bone staff burning with essence blood were all perfectly frozen in mid-air.

A breeze blew by, and the ice sculpture emitted a chilling aura in the sky.

Zhou Huai did not kill them.

It was not out of mercy, but simply because in an unknown ruin, keeping a few captives alive was far more valuable than a pile of corpses.

Being frozen, severely injured, and knocked into the deep sea was enough to make them lose all combat effectiveness while still retaining their last breath.

On the sea surface, only the Rugged Man remained.

He gripped the black harpoon in his hand tightly, the veins on his thick arms bulging, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead in large droplets.

The gap was too large.

So large that it was despair-inducing.

Before this, they were top-tier powerhouses who could summon wind and rain in these Kaslandis Ruins. Yet, facing this man draped in abyssal blood battle armor before them, their heritage, items, and Formations that they were so proud of had simply become paper-thin toys.
