From the rear, someone sneered, "I used to think that in the magic world where I previously lived, the strength of Professionals was suppressed enough by the Heavenly Dao."

"I didn't expect that the Professionals in this wretched modern world would be even weaker!"

"I really don't know why Mr. Duan sent so many of us to a garbage place like this to pick someone up! It's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!"

While the group high in the sky was unscrupulously mocking Great Xia...

Bang!

Deep within the foundations of the Imperial Capital Military Department, an extremely powerful aura erupted, piercing straight into the firmament!

Wild winds howled!

The Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Military Department, the god of war of great xia Zhao Qingcang, clad in dragon-patterned battle armor, soared into the sky from the military base!

He stopped directly in front of the powerhouses from the Dawnbreaker Guild, blocking their overbearing pressure.

Even when facing a terrifying lineup of five SS-rank individuals, Zhao Qingcang's spine remained straight, and his expression was resolute.

"Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Military Department, Zhao Qingcang, greets you all!"

Zhao Qingcang's voice was like a resonant bell, echoing across the sky above the Imperial Capital.

"May I ask where Your Excellencies hail from?!"

"What is your purpose for descending upon our Great Xia Imperial Capital with such a grand display today?!"

Zhou Huai had previously revealed the existence of the Dawnbreaker Guild to him, but facing such a formation, Zhao Qingcang still needed to discern their background and true intentions first.

The black-robed old man leading the group looked Zhao Qingcang up and down and gave a mocking smile.

The old man seemed to be praising him, but his tone was arrogant. "I didn't expect the Marshal of your Great Xia Country to be so young."

"Young?"

The burly man holding a giant axe beside him immediately began to sneer, "Grand Elder, this is clearly just a wet-behind-the-ears brat!"

The burly man laughed arrogantly, "Even a kid whose hair hasn't fully grown can become the Supreme Marshal? It seems this Great Xia Country is a hundred times weaker than we imagined!"

"Just sending two S-ranks could level them; it's ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) simply not worth sending so many of us here!"

These jeers and insults spread throughout the sky.

Buzz—!

Accompanied by a piercing sound of breaking air, an extremely intense fluctuation of the Law of Life suddenly erupted from the defensive lines below the Imperial Capital!

Countless thick, emerald-green vines, like coiling dragons, shot into the sky, forming a steel forest rising from the ground!

A valiant woman with short hair, wearing a dark green military uniform, stepped upon a massive mutated Venus flytrap and shot straight into the high sky, hovering steadily beside Zhao Qingcang!

The newcomer was none other than Lin Zhu!

"Stop spouting nonsense here, you bunch of old fogies of unknown origin!"

Lin Zhu's eyebrows arched in anger as she glared at the mass of black-robed Dawnbreaker Guild powerhouses, unable to resist letting out a cold snort!

"I don't care how glorious you were in your so-called Old Era, or what world-destroying power you once wielded!"

"Since you've come to our modern world, pack away that high-and-mighty, condescending attitude of yours!"

The Wood Law around Lin Zhu surged violently, causing the surrounding air to be tinged with a thick green glow.

"Tell us exactly what you want!"

"Don't forget, the ground you are stepping on right now is the territory of our Great Xia!"

Her voice was crisp and sharp, mixed with immense magical power, booming over the Imperial Capital.

Facing Lin Zhu's blunt questioning...

The old man standing at the very front of the black-robed group—the Grand Elder of the Dawnbreaker Guild—not only showed no sign of being offended but instead threw his head back and laughed.

"Hahahaha... Great Xia's territory? What boastful talk!"

After he finished laughing, the old man proudly stroked his grey beard, his cloudy eyes full of contempt.

"And so what?"

His withered finger slowly rose, pointing across the distance at the solemn-faced Zhao Qingcang, then at the glaring Lin Zhu.

"I admit, you two modern SS-ranks do indeed possess some measure of strength."

The old man's tone turned cold, carrying the pressure of a superior. "But in the end, there are only two of you!"

With a wave of his wide black sleeve, his finger pointed directly at the vast, sprawling super-city below, packed with terrified civilians.

"Open your eyes and take a good look at what's below!"

"Tens of millions of ants!"

"If a fight truly breaks out, the collision of energy will turn the entire city to dust in an instant!"

"With just the two of you, even if you risk your lives, how many can you protect?!"

Lin Zhu's eyebrows shot up, the fire of anger in her eyes reaching its peak!

"You wouldn't dare!"

She shouted, her Wood Law going berserk! Countless thorny ancient vines spread and intertwined wildly in the void, faintly forming a green net large enough to shroud half the sky, emitting threatening hisses!

"I wouldn't dare?"

The burly man who had mocked Zhao Qingcang as a wet-behind-the-ears brat couldn't help but sneer.

He casually shouldered the giant axe that emitted a thick scent of blood, twisting his thick neck as his bones made a series of tooth-aching cracks. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Little girl, what's this? Are you trying to threaten us?"

The burly man grinned, revealing pearly white teeth in a spine-chilling smile.

"You greenhouse flowers of the modern world know absolutely nothing about the essence of power!"

"Open your eyes and watch carefully—see if I dare!"

As soon as he finished speaking!

Without the need for any long incantations or fancy movements!

Within the burly man's bell-like eyes, an extremely violent dark yellow light erupted!

The Earth Origin Law belonging to an Old Era Dominator was driven to its limit without reservation!

"Rumble—!"

Above the firmament, the gathering dark clouds were forcibly torn apart by an invisible, terrifying force!

Under the horrified gazes of everyone, the dark yellow earth elements within a radius of hundreds of miles converged and compressed frantically in the high sky directly above the Imperial Capital!

In the blink of an eye!

A towering mountain, hundreds of meters high and blotting out the sun, was actually fabricated out of thin air by him using earth elements!

This mountain was suspended in the clouds thousands of meters up, providing a massive visual impact!

The jagged, fang-like giant rocks at its base emitted a deathly pressure so heavy it made the Soul tremble!

The shadow of the mountain swallowed dozens of bustling city blocks below!

"Fall!"

The burly man laughed wildly and slammed his hand downward!

Boom—!

The massive earthen mountain broke the sound barrier, slicing through the air with a piercing sonic boom and blazing flames from intense friction, smashing straight toward the most densely populated urban area of the Imperial Capital!

In an instant, the faces of everyone in the city turned pale!

Under the shroud of the shadow, the civilians who were originally evacuating in an orderly fashion under the guidance of the army looked up in terror.

When they clearly saw the giant mountain falling at extreme speed, everyone's eyes widened!

Screams of despair and the crying of children drowned out the entire city!

Countless people's legs went weak, and they collapsed directly onto the ground, even the strength to run completely drained by that terrifying high-dimensional pressure!
