"You want to use this dilapidated carcass to take me down with you?"

Zhou Huai looked at the giant body about to turn into an underwater nuclear bomb, his tone still indifferent. "The tactic is decent, but unfortunately, you used it on the wrong target."

"Boom—!!!"

Without giving any time to react, the massive body, spanning tens of kilometers, exploded violently on the seabed.

It was a scene of destruction that could not be described in words.

At the moment of the explosion, the seawater for hundreds of kilometers around was instantly vaporized by the extreme heat, and a bottomless vacuum zone was forcibly blasted into the seabed. The violent torrent of energy, like a beast devouring everything, surged crazily in all directions. Wherever it passed, the seabed's mountain ranges, rock layers, and even the surrounding spatial barriers were completely ground into nothingness.

Facing this world-destroying self-destruction, Zhou Huai did not show the slightest panic.

"【Immortal Divine Domain】!"

With a thought, he instantly activated Xiang Yu's Domain skill. A pitch-black energy dome suddenly expanded from him as the center, tightly protecting him within.

Immediately after, the mana within him surged violently again.

"【Dimensional Cleavage】!"

On top of the Immortal Divine Domain's defense, Zhou Huai utilized Viktor's Law of Space to forcibly tear open countless spatial rifts around him. Those explosive energies, capable of destroying everything, were forcibly diverted into the endless turbulence of the Void Realm upon contacting this spatial barrier.

Even so, the terrifying recoil still pushed Zhou Huai back over ten thousand meters along the seabed, and the light on his abyssal blood battle armor dimmed slightly.

"Beep, beep, beep—"

Chun's voice, though desperately suppressed, still carried a hint of gravity, came through the communication channel.

"Zhou Huai! How is the situation on your end? A tsunami over a thousand meters high has already risen on my side of the sea surface. Did that thing self-destruct?"

"Just a minor scene, it didn't even scratch my armor."

Zhou Huai stood in the boiling vacuum of the seabed, gently patting the ash off his shoulder guard. "But this beast is quite decisive; seeing it couldn't win, it directly abandoned that old carcass tens of kilometers long."

"Abandoned its carcass?" Chun immediately reacted on the other end of the communication. "That is the Spirit Beast accompanying the Caslantis Ruins; its underwater speed is unsolvable! It must be using the self-destruction as cover to escape with the core portal of the ruins! You absolutely cannot let it run; once it re-hides in the deep sea, catching it again will be as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

"Run?"

Zhou Huai looked at the red dot on the System panel that was fleeing crazily toward the deeper parts of the deep sea at a terrifying speed under the cover of the explosion, a cold arc curling at the corner of his mouth.

In that turbid aftermath of the explosion, a small black giant whale, only about a hundred meters long, was like black lightning, its speed increased by more than tenfold under the boost of its underwater home turf advantage!

It not only perfectly inherited the core of the Caslantis Ruins, but by shedding its massive carcass, it had completely broken free from the shackles of physical Law. Every flick of its tail allowed it to instantly cross a distance of thousands of meters.

"In front of the Law of Space, any speed in the physical sense is just a pale and powerless joke."

Zhou Huai's voice was as cold as frost.

He did not immediately pursue, but raised his left hand, and Viktor's 【Void Omniscience】 once again locked onto the small whale that was fleeing crazily.

"【Seal of the Thunder God】!"

An invisible mental brand, ignoring the obstacles of space and seawater, was directly carved onto the small whale's spine.

Just at the moment when the small whale thought it had finally escaped and even its escape movements showed a hint of relaxation.

"Swish!"

Zhou Huai's figure vanished into thin air from where he stood.

【Universe Reversal】 plus 【Seal of the Thunder God】!

There was no process, no trajectory.

When Zhou Huai appeared again, he had already crossed tens of kilometers of deep sea, like an unshakable demon god, blocking directly in front of the small whale!

"Where do you think you're going?"

Zhou Huai's voice, ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) filled with mockery and killing intent, rang out like the death knell of the Grim Reaper in the small whale's mind.

"Woooo—!"

The small whale let out a cry of despair to the extreme. It could never have imagined that the opponent could ignore the water pressure and distance of the deep sea, and instantly cross space to appear before it.

It tried desperately to brake, and even attempted to turn and flee again.

But Zhou Huai did not give it any chance at all.

"It's over."

Zhou Huai tightly gripped the abyssal blood dragon spear with both hands, the Ten Thousand Aspects into One Law within him pushed to its limit at this moment. The violence of thunder, the devouring of shadows, the sharpness of space—all destructive powers converged on the spear tip without reservation.

"Die!"

He threw the spear!

The dark golden dragon spear turned into a death meteor piercing heaven and earth, carrying the overbearing power to tear everything apart, dragging a spatial rift in the seawater that could not heal for a long time.

"Puchi—!"

The whale skull, originally indestructible, was as fragile as a thin sheet of paper in front of this Peak strike.

The abyssal blood dragon spear, with the force of crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, pierced in from its brow, instantly transfixing its entire body and bringing out a large spray of dark green blood rain from its tail!

As the health bar was completely emptied, the small whale's hundred-meter-long body stiffened abruptly in the seawater, then lost all vitality.

However, the strange change did not stop there.

"Crack... crack..."

On the surface of the small whale's corpse, countless strange blue cracks suddenly appeared. Immediately after, its flesh began to violently curl outward and disintegrate, as if a huge object was about to break out from within its body.

Accompanied by an extremely intense sense of spatial distortion, endless ghostly blue light erupted from the small whale's remains, instantly illuminating this pitch-black deep sea.

When the light gradually dissipated, Zhou Huai floated in the seawater, looking at the scene before him, a flash of keen light passing through his dark golden pupils.

In the center of the small whale's completely split remains, an ancient stone gate towering into the clouds stood quietly. Inside the stone gate, there was no solid entity, only a huge circular vortex with a diameter exceeding a thousand meters.

The vortex appeared a deep azure blue, rotating slowly, emitting a terrifying aura that was ancient, vicissitudinous, and filled with Advanced water-type Law. It was a dimensional fluctuation completely independent of the present world.

"So this is your true form."

Zhou Huai summoned the abyssal blood dragon spear back into his hand, looking at the huge circular vortex before him, and sneered.

In the communication channel, Chun's urgent voice came through.

"Zhou Huai, I have sensed an extremely strong spatial folding fluctuation! Did you find the entrance to the ruins?"

"Yeah, I found it."

Zhou Huai looked at the ghostly blue vortex, sensing that faint but extremely pure Origin aura of the Seventh World emanating from within, his tone filled with unquestionable confidence.

"After stripping away this turtle shell, this so-called Castlantis has finally decided to open its door."
