What's most disgusting is that, besides a few thick, fleshy tentacles that wriggle unconsciously in the water on both sides of its broad, flat head, there are also four thick, ferocious crawling limbs covered with sharp claws growing incongruously on its lower abdomen!

Its appearance was that of a defective product forcibly stitched together from various of the ugliest creatures of the deep sea, exuding an evil aura.

"With that kind of appearance..."

Zhou Huai shook his head, his tone disdainful, "I used to think Mr. Duan was a shrewd and sophisticated schemer. Now, I'm starting to seriously doubt that old man's taste."

"He painstakingly nurtured the ultimate weapon with eight divine artifacts over countless years, yet it grows so arbitrarily."

The old-era powerhouses standing behind Zhou Huai exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing this sharp retort, and the tense atmosphere was somewhat eased.

They couldn't understand why, at this critical juncture of life and death, this powerful being was focusing on the monster's appearance.

Mo Lao ignored Zhou Huai's teasing.

He leaned on the railing of the small boat, his gaze fixed on the hideous behemoth below, his voice low and menacing.

"This is the culprit that devoured our entire world."

"Although its resurrection process has been interrupted by you and it has not yet fully awakened, it has been sleeping in the deep sea of ​​this ruin for so long that some of the power of the laws within it has been restored."

Mo Lao turned to look at Zhou Huai, "Its physical defense and vitality are even more terrifying than they were back then. Even if you are extremely strong, it will not be easy to kill it here."

"I know."

Zhou Huai shrugged, his tone remaining calm. "It's just that the health bar is a bit longer. As long as it shows its health bar, a few more hits will clear it."

Just then, Elder Mo suddenly withdrew his gaze and forcefully grasped at the void with his withered hand.

A flash of light.

He slowly took out a chain that emitted a faint glow from his ancient spatial ring.

Zhou Huai's gaze was immediately drawn to the chain.

This chain is fundamentally different from the dark chains that the powerful figures of the old era used to besiege him.

Although the materials look extremely similar, the one in Elder Mo's hand is not pure black. Its surface is densely covered with dark gold runes that pulsate like veins.

These runes, seemingly alive, slowly moved along the chains. With each flash, Zhou Huai could keenly sense that the immense pressure of the deep sea, powerful enough to crush everything, was being forcefully repelled by the aura emanating from these chains!

That is an extremely ancient, forbidden law that exists specifically for the purpose of deprivation and suppression!

"This is called the Netherworld Chain of the Desolate Sea."

Master Mo held the dark gold chain in both hands, a rare treasure, his eyes filled with the fervor and pride unique to a master blacksmith.

"This is the ultimate equipment I forged back then, after I saw through that deception, using the last bit of luck and resources of the Seventh World, specifically to deal with this monster."

Elder Mo pushed the chain forward, saying, "Although it doesn't reach the level of the 'divine artifact' you mentioned, the suppressing laws it contains possess power that is in no way inferior to that of a divine artifact."

"Most importantly, its material is special, and it has an absolute restraining and penetrating effect on all high-dimensional formations and energy seals in the world. Once locked by it, even the laws of transcendent beings will be greatly weakened in a short period of time."

Looking at the Netherworld Chain in Mo Lao's hand, Zhou Huai recalled the scene on the sea just now when those six guys tried to trap him with similar chains.

He looked at Elder Mo and asked, "Elder Mo, you've been praising these chains so highly, they're practically the best for killing gods and robbing thieves." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"But if it's so precious, why were all your henchmen carrying one when we were up there?"

Zhou Huai pointed at the burly man and others standing behind him, looking embarrassed, and said in a teasing tone, "In your Seventh World, do you buy these top-tier equipment wholesale?"

Hearing Zhou Huai's teasing, the burly man blushed and lowered his head in shame.

Old Master Mo smiled helplessly and shook his head.

You've misunderstood.

Mo Lao gently stroked the dark gold runes on the chains and explained, "Those things they're holding are just replicas that I made later using leftover scraps based on the blueprints."

"The power of those replicas is less than one percent of that of the original. Moreover, a single replica is simply not enough to exert a suppressive effect. It requires six professionals of similar strength to work together through a specific magic array to barely trap the enemy."

Elder Mo raised his head, staring intently at Zhou Huai. "The one in my hand is the only genuine one in the world. It doesn't require any formations or a huge amount of mana to maintain. Once thrown, it can automatically track and lock onto the target's origin."

At this point, Elder Mo solemnly presented the Netherworld Chain to Zhou Huai with both hands.

“Young man, you possess the strength to slay this monster. But just in case, I entrust this masterpiece, the work I am most proud of in my life, to you today.”

Old Mo's eyes were filled with a desperate determination. "If you really want to deal with this sea beast, I can lend you this. With it, you can at least cripple 30% of the monster's defense and laws, increasing your chances of winning."

Zhou Huai did not immediately reach out to take it.

He stood there, his gaze sweeping over the dark golden Netherworld Chain, his mind racing with calculations.

He would naturally not refuse a top-tier piece of equipment that could weaken enemies and counteract seals.

"Can I borrow it?"

Zhou Huai smiled, stretched out his right hand, and grabbed the heavy chain.

The moment his fingertips touched the chains, an overwhelming and oppressive force surged into his body through his palm. But soon, this power was easily neutralized and absorbed by the high-dimensional foundation within him after all things had been unified.

Zhou Huai weighed the heavy Netherworld Chain in his hand, feeling the profound forging laws within it, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Thanks, old man."

Zhou Huai casually wrapped the chain around his left arm, his gaze passing over the protective shield of the flatboat and returning to the ugly behemoth below.

"Since the equipment has already been delivered to our door."

Zhou Huai clenched his fist, and dark golden lightning and silver-white spatial laws intertwined wildly in his eyes, his violent fighting spirit soaring into the sky.

"Then I'll go down and slaughter this deformed, ugly monster!"
