Batu took the lead, burning his lifespan in exchange for a Peak strike. He gripped a giant rock hammer dozens of meters long with both hands, swinging it down fiercely toward the head of that black Demon Dragon with the power to split heaven and earth!

All the attacks, at the same time, poured onto the massive body of Demon Dragon Xiao Hei!

"Bang bang bang bang bang—!!!"

A violent chain of massive explosions erupted in the clouds. The blinding light even outshone the sun's brilliance, and the rampaging energy shockwaves spread outward in circles, shredding the clouds for dozens of miles into a vacuum!

"Did it succeed?!"

"We hit him! With a desperate strike from dozens of us, even a demi-god level wouldn't be able to come out unscathed!"

Batu panted heavily, staring intently at the center of the storm where the energy raged, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.

However...

As the storm gradually subsided and the blinding light slowly dissipated...

The scene revealed in mid-air caused the small amount of hope in the eyes of Batu and all the Dawnbreaker Guild experts to instantly shatter, turning into a bottomless abyss of despair.

"Whoosh—"

Demon Dragon Xiao Hei hovered quietly in place; even the frequency of its flapping wings hadn't changed in the slightest.

Within its dark gold vertical pupils, which looked like burning Hell lava, there was nothing but disdain and human-like mockery.

It extended its massive dragon claw and nonchalantly patted a dark gold dragon scale on its chest that was ten thousand times harder than steel.

On that spot... let alone being pierced through, not even a white mark, the kind used to scratch a bit of skin, had been left behind!

The desperate counterattack of these dozens of top experts had struck its body without even causing a ripple. The effect of the attack was simply like scratching an itch!

"This... this is impossible..."

The giant rock hammer in Batu's hand fell with a clang. His legs went weak, and he stumbled back in the Void Realm, his spirit completely broken.

"What kind of monster is this... all our attacks... couldn't even break a single one of its scales?!"

Standing atop the dragon's head, Zhou Huai looked down with pity at this group of remnants from the old era who were like jumping clowns, shaking his head slightly.

The gap between a demi-god level and an SS-Rank Expert was a chasm that could not be bridged by numbers alone.

"It seems you power banks of the old era are not only slow-witted but also pathetically weak."

Zhou Huai patted Xiao Hei's dragon horns. "Alright, these little mice are making my ears hurt. Make them shut up. Just leave their corpses intact; I still need to harvest their Origin."

"Roar!"

Hearing its master's command, Demon Dragon Xiao Hei, who already found these ants as annoying as flies, had a flash of bloodthirsty ferocity in its eyes.

Its massive body suddenly shuddered!

"Abyssal Blood Death Domain—Abyssal Dragon Strangle!"

Xiao Hei impatiently unleashed an area-of-effect skill from its Bloodline Legacy.

In an instant!

With Xiao Hei as the center, the Void Realm within a thousand-meter radius instantly collapsed! Countless dark-gold spatial blades, invisible to the naked eye, acted like a meat-grinder storm with no blind spots, instantly enveloping the dozens of Dawnbreaker Guild experts!

"Puchi! Puchi! Puchi—!"

There was absolutely no room for resistance! They didn't even have time to scream!

"Ugh—!"

Batu, who was charging at the front, found his proud Earth-element Indestructible Golden Body sliced open like tofu before the dark-gold spatial blades.

Along with Batu, including two SS-Rank Expert hulks and over a dozen S-Rank Expert members of the Ancient Remnant Clan!

A full half of the Dawnbreaker Guild experts were ruthlessly killed in an instant by the dragon's skill!

Their broken bodies, devoid of life signs, fell like kites with severed strings from the high altitude of several thousand meters.

A tragic rain of dark red ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ blood began to fall from the sky!

One move!

Just one impatient area-attack skill from this dragon had instantly wiped out half of the old era's elite, who were strong enough to destroy a major nation!

...

At the same time.

Inside the supreme command room of the Great Xia Military Department.

The command hall, which had been in despair with alarms blaring due to the enemy's pressure, was now terrifyingly silent.

One could hear a pin drop!

In the truest sense, one could hear a pin drop!

All the staff officers, generals, and technical personnel were like statues that had been looked at by Medusa, staring intently at the giant holographic projection screen in the center. Even their breathing seemed to have completely stopped at this moment.

"Beep... beep beep..."

In front of the detection console, the technician who had been trembling with fear earlier now stared at the radar screen with a dazed expression.

"S-Sir..."

He swallowed hard and broke the silence. "The enemy's energy signatures... half of them vanished in an instant!"

"Of the five SS-Rank high-dimensional signatures that were locking onto us just now... two have completely extinguished, and the life signs of another are rapidly declining, falling out of the radar's detection range..."

Hearing this unbelievable report, the high-ranking generals in the entire command room felt their worldview had been completely overturned.

"Gulp."

The one-armed general Wang Zhenbei subconsciously swallowed, his weathered face filled with shock and daze.

"This... how is this possible?!"

A military district commander stood up abruptly, even knocking over his chair in his haste. "So many SS-Rank Experts! Monsters that could push our god of war of great xia to the brink!"

"And yet... they couldn't even withstand a single move from that dragon?! Half of them were killed instantly?!"

"This dragon... and that young man standing on its back, what exactly is their background?!"

"Who on earth is he?!"

"Why is his strength so powerful that it defies all common logic of this world?!"

Throughout the command room, various shocked inquiries rose one after another.

"The key is, why is he helping our Great Xia?! And why did he strike so ruthlessly against these monsters calling themselves Mr. Duan's subordinates for the sake of our tens of millions of civilians?!"

Everyone was bewildered; they racked their brains but couldn't find a single person on the list of known global experts who could crush SS-Rank Experts like ants.

...

Only Chen Huaishu, the Supreme Commander of the United Front standing in the very center with both hands gripping the tactical deduction table! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

His bloodshot eyes stared unblinkingly at the young man on the screen, standing proudly in the clouds with his hands behind his back.

Seeing the young man's decisive and ruthless style, his arrogant posture that disregarded the laws of heaven and earth, and then thinking of the news just received from the intelligence department—that the only guardian of Great Xia, who could create ten thousand Incarnations, had just gone missing!

"No... there's no need to guess!"

Chen Huaishu straightened up abruptly, his entire body trembling violently with extreme excitement and ecstasy.

He shoved aside the adjutant next to him and strode to the holographic screen, pointing at the figure of the blond young man, his eyes red and his voice completely hoarse with emotion.

"It's him!"

"The one who can save Great Xia from fire and water at the critical moment, and who possesses the ability to freely change identities and even completely alter his class aura..."

Chen Huaishu looked around at the generals who were still in a daze and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"He is our god of war of great xia!"

"He is—the Ever-changing Star Lord!!!"
