An eagle-eyed professional shrieked, his voice trembling.

"Rank...at least above Rank 50!"

As soon as he spoke, the morale that had just stabilized instantly collapsed!

Even Old Kong and Old Qin's faces turned incredibly grim!

A Hell-Rank BOSS!

That was an existence far beyond their Rank.

What's more, it was a Dragon known for its destructive power!

"Roar!"

The red Dragon seemed to lose its patience. It circled in the air for a moment, then suddenly opened its massive maw, large enough to swallow an entire mountain!

Without any warning!

A torrent of crimson, like a breached celestial river, erupted from its mouth!

That was terrifying Dragon Breath, capable of melting gold and iron!

"Not good!"

Old Kong and Old Qin's expressions changed drastically. Without thinking, they simultaneously unleashed their strongest defensive skills!

"Black Tortoise Bulwark!"

"Wind God Barrier!"

A thick tortoise shell formed from earthy-yellow energy, and a massive barrier composed of azure gales, instantly appeared above everyone's heads!

However, in the face of that world-destroying Dragon Breath...

These two defenses, capable of withstanding a thousand troops, seemed so fragile and vulnerable!

Boom—!

The Dragon Breath heavily impacted the tortoise shell!

It only lasted for less than three seconds!

The thick tortoise shell was covered in spiderweb-like cracks and shattered with a crash!

Immediately after, the Wind God Barrier was also instantly evaporated by the terrifying high temperature!

"Ah—!!!"

Painful screams rose and fell!

Several professionals standing on the periphery didn't even have time to react before they were instantly engulfed by the terrifying Dragon Breath, turning into charred skeletons!

However, just as everyone fell into despair, struggling to resist this terrifying Dragon, no one noticed...

A figure was silently detaching itself from the chaotic battlefield.

Only Zhou Huai, hidden in the shadows of a stone pillar, witnessed all of this.

His gaze was fixed on that figure.

Zhou Feng!

Looking at Zhou Feng's unhurried back, an indescribable sense of unfamiliarity welled up in Zhou Huai's heart.

Was this still the "father" who was so submissive in front of Liu Yuru that he didn't even dare to breathe loudly?

Was this still the man who, to curry favor with the Liu Family, ignored his own son?

Zhou Huai had originally thought that the Zhou Family was merely a dog kept by the Liu Family.

One could tell from Liu Zi'ang's imperious attitude towards Zhou Feng.

But now it seemed...

This dog seemed to be preparing to bite its master.

The desperate situation the Liu Family's elite team was currently facing was clearly orchestrated by Zhou Feng!

But Zhou Huai couldn't understand.

Why would Zhou Feng know that wearing that crown would trigger the mechanism here?

Why didn't any of the exotic beasts that rushed out of the stone pillars attack him?

In fact, they seemed unable to even see him!

Just now...

When everyone was caught in a frantic battle with the stone beasts...

Zhou Feng calmly and leisurely walked through the chaotic beast horde as if strolling through a garden.

His demeanor was composed, and he didn't even look back at the Liu Family members.

It was as if everything was within his plan.

Thus, he slowly walked behind the throne.

Zhou Huai's gaze was fixed on Zhou Feng.

His face, usually filled with humility and flattery, now held a composed air of strategic planning.

This was a strong contrast to his usual behavior.

For # Nоvеlight # the first time, Zhou Huai developed a strong interest in this so-called "father."

Zhou Feng's cunning was far deeper than he had imagined.

His familiarity with this Secret Realm was even more astounding.

Speaking of which...

When exactly did the Zhou Family discover this ruin?

And through what channels did they learn that such a shocking secret was buried a thousand meters beneath Donghai City?

After all, it was a thousand meters down.

It was important to note that, prior to this, not even the military had detected the existence of a ruin beneath Donghai City.

But how did the Zhou Family discover it?

At this moment, the Zhou Family became increasingly mysterious in Zhou Huai's heart.

Even though he had once been a member of the Zhou Family.

Looking at Zhou Feng's figure at this moment...

Zhou Huai could only smile.

Let me see what your Zhou Family intends to do.

Zhou Feng walked behind the majestic throne, reached out, and began to feel the cold metal surface.

His fingers seemed to move with a certain rhythm, gently tapping several inconspicuous spots.

After a moment, his movements stopped at a relief carving of a Dragon head.

Zhou Feng's face finally showed an uncontrollable excitement.

He inserted his finger into the Dragon's mouth and carefully pried outwards.

Click.

A soft sound.

The Dragon head relief was completely removed by him, revealing a pitch-black keyhole.

Zhou Huai's pupils slightly contracted.

Here it comes.

Under Zhou Huai's silent gaze, Zhou Feng took something out from his embrace.

It was a small, golden key, the very item he had secretly obtained from the armored skeleton earlier.

Zhou Feng steadily inserted the key into the keyhole.

With a gentle twist...

Rumble... Amidst the chaotic shouts of battle and the roaring of the Dragon, no one noticed...

The massive throne slowly shifted to one side, revealing a bottomless descending staircase.

Immediately after, on the walls on both sides of the passage, ancient torches automatically ignited without warning. The orange-yellow flames instantly illuminated the path below, as if welcoming their master who had been awaited for eons.

Zhou Feng looked at the passage leading to the unknown, the light in his eyes growing even more fervent.

He could no longer conceal his inner excitement, his lips trembling slightly as he murmured in a voice only he could hear.

"After all these years...my Zhou Family has finally waited for this moment!"

Having said that, he no longer hesitated. He tidied his robes and carefully, step by step, entered the staircase.

However, he did not notice...

The moment he stepped into the passage, a shadow, almost merging with the darkness, quietly merged into the shadow beneath his feet like a persistent bone-marrow parasite, following him into this entirely new, unknown Domain.
