Thinking of this, Zhou Huai stopped wasting time, as relying on the Abyss Blood Dragon Spear to stab them one by one was too inefficient.

He raised his right hand, and dark golden light of law gathered in his palm.

"Netherworld Chains, emerge!"

"Splash—!"

Thick, dark gold chains coiled from his arm, swelling in the wind. This seventh-world artifact, specifically designed to counter high-dimensional formations, displayed unparalleled destructive power in this space.

"Give me a roll!"

Zhou Huai let out a sharp shout and swung his arm. The Netherworld Chain of the Absolute Sea transformed into a golden whip that stretched across the void, lashing out with the force of a thunderbolt towards the densest area of ​​black spheres in front of him.

"Snap! Crack! Crack!"

A series of teeth-grinding cracking sounds filled the air. Wherever the chains passed, the outer shells of dozens of small worlds shattered.

【Ding! Congratulations, host! You have gained 10,000,000 Heavenly Merit Points!】

【Ding! Congratulations, host! You have gained Heavenly Merit Points...】

The system notifications echoed in a continuous stream, and Zhou Huai's eyes were filled with nothing but endless madness. He recklessly plundered the rewards that belonged to Heaven.

...

Meanwhile, outside...

At the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, above the ruins of Castrandis on the Black Sea.

The wind howled and the waves rolled.

Not far away, Elder Mo and his companions, riding in that thin but incredibly sturdy flat boat, had arrived in front of the enormous, dark blue vortex at the entrance of the ruins.

"Elder Mo, this monster is devouring things too fast!" The red-haired burly man stood at the bow of the ship, wiping the seawater from his face, and pointed into the distance through gritted teeth. "All those high-level alien beasts in the Atlantic Ocean have been sucked in by it. If this continues, its original essence will be completely restored in less than half an hour!"

“I understand.” Old Mo’s expression was solemn, his aged face filled with determination. “This beast wants to use the flesh and blood of the mortal world to replenish its power. I will not let it have its way. As long as we destroy this entrance and cut off its channel to absorb the mortal world, it will be trapped in these ruins forever!”

On the deck of the flatboat, a uniquely shaped device has been assembled.

The device was crafted entirely from an unknown, dark silver metal, its surface engraved with dense, shimmering Seventh World core array patterns. At the top of the device was an energy emitter resembling a budding lotus flower, emanating a chilling aura of destruction.

"This is the Annihilation Device that I created using the last of the Seventh World's resources to fight against Mr. Duan." Old Mo's withered fingers gently stroked the metal surface, pain welling up in his eyes. "I originally intended to save it to perish together with Mr. Duan, but now... I can only use it on this beast for now!"

"Old buddies, prepare to form a protective array!" The burly man drew the massive battle axe from his back and roared.

The remaining five powerful figures from the old era responded in unison, and the dark chains in their hands, capable of sealing divine artifacts, reappeared, weaving into a tight black net in mid-air, firmly protecting the flatboat and the entrance to the ruins in the center.

"Success or failure hinges on this one move."

Elder Mo took out a deep red magic stone from his robes, radiating intense heat. Magma churned within the stone, containing terrifying energy fluctuations.

"Click".

With a soft click, the magic stone was embedded into the central groove of the Annihilation Device.

"Buzz—!!!"

The device was activated, emitting a piercing buzz. The lotus-shaped emitter burst open, shooting out a crimson beam of light that struck directly at the swirling, dark blue vortex at the entrance to the ruins!

The intense energy clash caused the surrounding space to fluctuate violently.

"It's working!" an old woman exclaimed in delight. "The vortex is slowing down! The spatial barrier is dissolving!"

The enormous vortex, which had been violently devouring everything, began to show signs of melting at its edges under the continuous illumination of the scarlet beam of light. The eerie blue light flickered violently, teetering on the verge of collapse.

However, just as the entrance was malfunctioning.

Dozens of nautical miles away, the sea god, whose massive body was froze as he opened his abyssal maw and devoured sea monsters one after another.

The collapse of the entrance means that it will be completely cut off from the outside world!

"roar--!!!"

A terrifying roar that shattered the void erupted from the sea god's head, which was covered with countless eyeballs and tentacles.

Without hesitation, it closed its enormous maw, which was devouring the monstrous beast, abruptly severing its craving for flesh and blood in the mortal world. Its massive, deformed body, stretching for hundreds of kilometers, churned in the sea, creating towering waves.

It hurtled toward the entrance of the ruins at a terrifying speed that defied the laws of physics!

Wherever it passed, the seawater was forcibly pushed aside, forming a huge vacuum zone that stretched for tens of kilometers!

"It's spotted us! It's charging at us!"

On the small boat, the strongman on guard let out a terrified roar, his voice trembling.

Old Mo stared at the Annihilation Device that was outputting energy, veins bulging on his forehead, and roared, "Give me ten more seconds! Just ten seconds and this entrance will completely collapse!"

"Ten seconds..." The red-haired burly man stared at the mountain of flesh in the distance, crashing through the waves with the force of Mount Tai and rapidly approaching, his eyes resolute.

"Brothers! Even if it costs us our last ounce of strength, we must buy you these ten seconds!" The burly man raised his giant axe high and roared, "Stop it!"

"We swear to protect Elder Mo to the death!"

The remaining five powerful figures from the old era unleashed a deafening roar. Without hesitation, they burned their remaining magical power, and flames of various colors ignited on their bodies.

Six dark chains tightened in the air, transforming into a giant black shield stretching between the sea and the sky, attempting to block the sea god's charge.

"Stop right now!" The burly man's eyes were bloodshot, his muscles bulging, and he poured all his strength into the chains.

However, in the face of higher-dimensional power, such resistance is utterly laughable.

"boom--!!!"

The sea god's massive body slammed violently against the giant shield woven with black chains.

There was absolutely no stalemate, not even a moment's resistance. The massive array shield, capable of sealing even divine artifacts, shattered under the terrifying impact of the Sea God's destructive death energy.

"puff--!"

As the formation was broken, all six powerful figures coughed up a mouthful of blood. A massive torrent of water, carrying high-dimensional pressure, slammed into their chests.

In an instant, the six people were swept away by the raging deep-sea currents and fell into the dark sea in all directions, their fate unknown.

"No!"

Old Mo's eyes widened in horror as he cried out in despair.

The sea god's enormous, scarlet eyes were filled with a chilling brutality. In its gaze, there were no insignificant, ant-like powerful beings, only the Annihilation Device destroying the entrance to the ruins.

"roar!"

The sea god roared, opening its gaping maw filled with fangs. A black sphere of light, formed from high-dimensional death energy and the laws of darkness, rapidly took shape within its mouth.

Without the slightest pause, the black orb of light, powerful enough to evaporate an entire sea area, carrying an aura of annihilation, was released towards the device on the flatboat!

"Don't even think about it!"

Mo Lao's eyes were filled with madness. He patted his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and tossed a tortoise-shell-shaped prop that emitted a soft golden light into the air.

"Absolute Barrier! Open!"
