Run?

The red-haired burly man was stunned.

He stared at the giant man in his hand, his face full of bewilderment and confusion. "What do you mean? We clearly came to save you, so why are you telling us to run? Who in this Present World could possibly make us run?!"

Just as everyone was completely baffled and the sense of unease in their hearts grew wildly to a Peak...

Rumble—

From above the ceiling, a low and suppressed rumbling sound suddenly echoed, causing the entire Underground Prison to tremble violently.

Then, a playful yet aloof youthful voice, carrying a sense of looking down upon all living beings, penetrated the thick layers of earth and rang out clearly in everyone's ears.

"What they mean is—you'd better hurry up and run. Otherwise... it really will be too late."

"Who is it?!"

The red-haired burly man was startled. He dropped the giant man, and his violent Fire Law erupted without reservation as he shot up from the ground.

Bang!

He forcibly smashed through the ceiling and the thick rock layers, rushing back into the sky on the surface.

The dozens of Dawnbreaker Guild experts behind him followed suit, bursting out of the ground and spreading out their formation in mid-air as if facing a great enemy.

However, when they ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) looked up and saw the scene high in the sky...

Everyone's breathing came to a complete standstill at that moment.

At some point, the sky had become covered with dark clouds, and lightning was faintly visible.

A terrifying giant Dragon, over sixty meters long and covered in dark-gold scales, appearing as if it had crawled out of the Abyssal Hell, was circling above their heads!

Every flap of those fleshy wings whipped up a bone-chilling Abyssal Astral Wind.

And what made them feel the most despair was the heaven-shaking pressure being released without reservation from that giant Dragon.

That was a... demi-god level pressure that surpassed the scope of SS-Rank and even stood above the Laws of the Present World!

Just the violent aura emitted by this Dragon alone suppressed the dozens of S-Rank and SS-Rank Experts present, making it difficult for them to breathe. The flow of mana within their bodies became incredibly sluggish, as if they were carrying a mountain weighing ten thousand tons.

However, even more terrifying...

...was the youth standing on the Dragon's back.

His golden hair danced wildly in the gale, and his azure eyes were filled with an indifference that looked down upon all living things like a god looking at ants.

He simply stood there quietly on the Dragon's back with his hands behind his back. He didn't make any aggressive posture, and one couldn't even feel the slightest mana fluctuation from him.

But the red-haired burly man and the others felt their Souls trembling madly!

"Peak... Peak SSS-Rank Expert?!"

The slender man's voice had completely changed pitch, becoming sharp and piercing. His grayish-white eyes were filled with endless despair and fear, and even the corners of his eyes were cracking with blood vessels due to extreme terror.

"How is this possible... Why?!"

"Why are there other Peak SSS-Rank Experts in this world besides Mr. Duan?!"

The people from the Dawnbreaker Guild completely broke down.

This was completely beyond the limits of their cognition! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

According to their intelligence, in this Dharma-Ending Age facing the System's Great Purge, the only person in the world who could ignore the rules and reach such a terrifying Realm was their supreme Mr. Duan!

"Damn it! What on earth are those intelligence departments of the Dawnbreaker Guild doing?!" An SS-Rank Expert clutched his head and roared in a breakdown, "They provided us with completely wrong intelligence! This isn't coming to pick up our kin; it's clearly sending us to our deaths!"

The waters of despair completely submerged them.

The red-haired burly man was shaking all over. His proud, violent Fire Law wasn't even worth a tiny flame for warmth in the face of the abyssal aura emitted by that youth!

Fight?

Fight with what?

There were more than thirty of them, and many were top-tier Professionals above S-Rank. Including himself, there were even two SS-Ranks who had mastered Origin Laws. Such power, if placed anywhere else in the Present World, would be enough to easily destroy the capital of a major country and slaughter tens of millions of lives.

However, in front of this Peak SSS-Rank Expert who possessed a demi-god level Abyssal Demon Dragon...

They weren't enough!

They really weren't even enough to get stuck in his teeth!

This dimensional gap was so large that it could not be compensated for by numbers at all. The opponent only needed to lightly move a finger to crush them along with their Souls into dust!

"Scatter! Escape!!"

The red-haired burly man sensed that things were going south. His survival instinct completely triumphed over his pride and dignity as a member of the Ancient Remnant Clan.

He roared at the top of his lungs, giving the most humiliating yet most rational order to retreat.

"Try everything possible to escape! We must bring the intelligence about this variable to Mr. Duan! Hurry!!"

At his command, the thirty-plus Dawnbreaker Guild experts fell into a frenzy. The light of their Laws flashed wildly as they fled madly in all directions, taking completely different paths.

Some turned into lightning and streaked across the sky, some vanished into the shadows underground, and some even burned their lifespans to forcibly tear open space.

Everyone used every ounce of strength they had, madly burning their Origins, only seeking to get a little further, and then even further away from that terrifying youth standing on the Dragon's back.

The red-haired burly man shouted about bringing back intelligence, but he was already completely despairing of the current situation.

Under the watchful eyes of a Peak SSS-Rank Expert, wanting to escape... could it really be done?

In mid-air.

Zhou Huai controlled Arthur's body, looking down mockingly at the prey fleeing in all directions like startled birds.

"Run?"

"If I let you High-quality Power Banks, who have so painstakingly delivered yourselves to me, escape, how can I, Zhou Huai, continue to play in this Great Purge?"

He didn't move.

Even the Abyssal Demon Dragon Xiao Hei beneath his feet didn't have any intention of moving its wings to give chase.

Zhou Huai only slowly raised a hand, palm facing down.

There was no earth-shattering energy explosion, nor any dazzling light and shadows of Laws.

Using a voice powerful enough to be branded into the depths of everyone's Souls, Zhou Huai spat out a few extremely plain words.

"Come back."

"Did I let you leave?"

Just nine simple characters.

Yet they contained the ultimate truths of the Dao, representing the supreme will of this world that could not be disobeyed, possessing a dominance that crushed all rules!

The effect of Words Follow the Law was immediately activated!

Hum—!

An invisible, irresistible rule-based power locked down the space for dozens of miles around as if it were tangible.

An incredibly bizarre scene occurred.

The red-haired burly man, who had already burned his Origin and fled thousands of meters away, found his body, which had turned into a Flaming Meteor, frozen in mid-air.

The slender man who had used Space Laws and already squeezed half his body into a Void Realm crack was stuck like a fly in amber, unable to move even an inch.

Those thirty-plus Dawnbreaker Guild experts fleeing in all directions were all forcibly hit with the pause button at the same time!

"This... what kind of power is this?!"
