That face was despairingly large, occupying Zhou Huai's entire field of vision above his head.

It had no physical flesh and blood, being entirely materialized from some ancient and obscure Space-type Law.

The gullies on its face were like a riverbed that had been dry for ten million years. In its pupil-less eyes, there was an indifference that had seen through the vicissitudes of time, as well as a supreme Aura that transcended all living beings.

The moment that aged human face looked down, the surrounding space froze. An indescribable high-dimensional pressure, like a tangible mountain, weighed heavily upon the back of the Abyssal Demon Dragon.

" Roar—! "

Facing this sky-covering aged human face, Xiao Hei raised its head. It lifted its ferocious, massive dragon head, its dark golden slit pupils burning with raging abyssal fury, and let out a violent roar toward the sky that shattered the clouds.

This roar, infused with pure quasi-god level Dragon power, directly stirred up a visible black sound wave in mid-air!

Xiao Hei didn't bother with idle chatter; it opened its massive abyssal maw.

The surrounding temperature skyrocketed, and dark red destructive energy compressed and gathered wildly deep within its throat.

The next second, an Abyssal Dragon Breath with a diameter exceeding ten meters, containing the ultimate Law of Annihilation, shot toward that aged face in [N O V E L I G H T] the night sky like a beam of death cutting through the darkness!

Zhou Huai had seen the power of this Dragon Breath with his own eyes.

Previously at the Ise Grand Shrine ruins, that high-defense, thick-blooded Abyssal Profound Ice Alligator Turtle had its shell shattered by Xiao Hei's ultimate Dragon Breath.

The scorching Dragon Breath accurately struck the aged face in the night sky.

However, a hair-raising scene occurred.

That destructive Dragon Breath, capable of vaporizing a mountain range, did not erupt with any roar or shockwave upon contacting the aged face.

The surface of that face suddenly rippled with delicate spatial fluctuations, like water.

The Dragon Breath spat out by Xiao Hei, like a clay ox entering the sea, passed directly through that face and plunged into an unknown different-dimensional Void Realm, without harming the opponent in the slightest!

" It's useless, " Chun spoke from the side, " That is not a physical entity, just a projection he cast into a higher dimension using Space-type Law. As long as you are on different spatial planes, even if this Little Black Dragon screams until its throat breaks, it won't be able to touch a single hair on him. "

Seeing that its attack was ineffective, Xiao Hei became even more enraged. It flapped its wings, preparing to charge directly into the high sky and use its Physical Body to tear apart that strange space.

" Xiao Hei, stand down. "

Zhou Huai raised his hand and gently patted the Demon Dragon's hard scales, stopping its futile rampage.

He understood that against a Space-type powerhouse of this level, pure brute force output would only be a futile waste.

Just then, that aged human face in the night sky spoke.

Its voice rang out from all directions. The voice carried a dignity that had endured countless years.

" Don't be so anxious, young descendant. "

" Entering my territory and using such a way to say hello is not polite. "

Zhou Huai calmly met that scrutinizing gaze, without the slightest evasion.

He slightly raised his chin, casually shoved his hands into his trench coat pockets, and quickly ran through the intelligence he had previously collected regarding the world's eight major ruins in his mind.

The desert as far as the eye could see, the ancient and mysterious Space-type Law, and this kind of high-dimensional projection that liked to play god.

Zhou Huai had the answer; this was the terrifying powerhouse who had awakened in the Ancient Egypt ruins.

It was also one of the targets he had to eliminate in the world-class mission " Chaos of the Eight Directions " issued by the System.

" Polite? "

Facing the questioning of this old-era powerhouse, Zhou Huai let out a soft laugh. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

He stared unflinchingly at that aged face, his Aura, which fused the traits of multiple top-tier powerhouses, released without reservation at this moment. Like a drawn divine sword, it forcefully carved out a Domain of his own in this night sky locked by Space-type Law.

" You trapped us in this fake desert where we can't even tell the direction, making us go in circles for over half an hour. "

Zhou Huai's voice carried mockery, " Old guy, your sneaky, 'lure the guest into the urn' way of welcoming guests is not very polite either, is it? "

" Hehe... "

Above the night sky, the aged human face condensed from Space-type Law suddenly tugged at its shriveled corners of the mouth, emitting a hair-raising low laugh. The laughter sounded like two pieces of rough sandstone rubbing against each other, extremely piercing, reverberating throughout the entire dark space.

" Back in that world, no one dared to speak to me like that. " The old man's voice turned cold, carrying a high-and-mighty contempt, " Young descendant, do you think that because you have mastered a little bit of fur-deep Space-type Law, you can be presumptuous in front of me? "

Zhou Huai stood on the broad back of the Abyssal Demon Dragon Xiao Hei, his hands still in his trench coat pockets, his expression calm, not at all intimidated by this Aura that transcended all living beings. He narrowed his eyes, using the Void Realm omniscience passive of Victor within his body to lock onto the subtle changes in the surrounding spatial nodes, in case the opponent launched an attack.

The old man's pupil-less eyes turned like two bottomless dry wells, staring at Zhou Huai, sizing him up, and asked, " You are one of Duan's people, right? "

Zhou Huai's heart stirred slightly.

Mr. Duan?

This old monster really knew Mr. Duan, and judging from this tone, the two had already had some degree of contact or agreement before.

Seeing that Zhou Huai did not answer immediately, the old man's mountain-like face leaned forward slightly, his voice like rolling thunder, " Why didn't he come himself? When he awakened me back then, he talked big. Now that I have completely awakened from my slumber, he sent a greenhorn like you to dismiss me? "

The old man paused, his tone filled with suspicion and disdain, " What? Did he run into some trouble and can't get away? "

Zhou Huai thought to himself, as expected.

The other party not only regarded this place as his own fiefdom but also logically assumed he was a lackey sent by Mr. Duan. Back when he met the ancient tree demon Chun in the Simon City Ruins, the other party also initially mistook him for Mr. Duan.

However, this was fine too.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Since the other party had taken the initiative to pin this identity on him, he might as well go with the flow and take the opportunity to extract some confidential information about Mr. Duan and these old-era monsters.

" So you still remember Mr. Duan. " Zhou Huai smiled, following the other's lead, " Mr. Duan has indeed encountered trouble; he is currently busy dealing with the revival of several other ruins and really cannot get away. Therefore, he specially sent me to pick you up and conspire for a grand plan. "

Who would have thought that upon hearing Zhou Huai say this, the old man in the night sky suddenly snorted coldly!

" Hmph! "

This cold snort directly triggered a series of violent sonic booms in the Void Realm around Zhou Huai, shaking the Abyssal Demon Dragon Xiao Hei so much that it let out a dissatisfied low roar.

" Specially sent you to pick me up? " The wrinkles on the old man's face squeezed together violently, and a flash of anger and violence from being slighted ignited in those hollow eyes, " That man surnamed Duan actually didn't come to find me in person the first time, but instead went to deal with those Trash in other ruins? It seems he completely did not take me seriously! "
