However, facing the giant seal in the sky that shone with golden light and was enough to wipe the entire Donghai City off the map, Mr. Duan raised his head.

There was neither panic nor despair in his eyes, not even a trace of solemnity.

Only disappointment.

"Zhou Huai, is this your fatal move?"

Mr. Duan sighed.

The five-second binding time ended.

Mr. Duan regained his mobility.

He stood there with a straight posture.

His grey coat fluttered loudly in the fierce wind, yet not a single speck of dust could touch it.

Raising his right hand wearing a pure white glove, he brought his index and middle fingers together, slashing down at the golden giant seal pressing down from the sky.

He spoke:

"Disperse."

Such a simple word.

There were no magical fluctuations whatsoever, nor was there any explosion.

But the moment this word "Disperse" was uttered, the infinite coercion surrounding the Heaven-Suppressing Seal dissipated.

That Heaven-Suppressing Seal trembled in mid-air.

Immediately after, the golden light on the seal rapidly dimmed.

The golden light filling the sky and the spiraling Dragon shadow shattered accordingly.

With a soft sound in mid-air, they vanished into nothingness.

Not only that, even Moria's Eternal Night Domain shattered inch by inch and collapsed under this single word "Disperse"!

Sunlight once again blanketed the scarred Gobi Desert.

The powerless Heaven-Suppressing Seal shrank in mid-air, reverting to its original black seal the size of a fist.

Then, it obediently fell into Mr. Duan's outstretched palm.

The surroundings quieted down.

Zhou Huai manipulated Moria to hover in mid-air without counterattacking.

His brain completely crashed.

How was that possible?

Why was the previously invincible Heaven-Suppressing Seal completely useless in front of this man?

What kind of monster was he anyway?!

Mr. Duan lowered his head, his slender fingers stroking the archaic Heaven-Suppressing Seal in his hand.

Feeling the texture on the surface of the seal, he let out a chuckle.

"Aren't you surprised?"

Mr. Duan looked at him.

"Did you think that as long as you held this Divine Artifact in your hand, you could erase the gap in strength between us?"

"You... what kind of monster are you anyway?"

Zhou Huai's voice came out from Moria's mouth.

"I said before, I have transcended the Law. And this seal is ultimately just a product of the Law. Before the creator and destroyer of the Law, it is nothing more than a useless piece of scrap iron."

Mr. Duan took a step forward, his figure soaring, and directly teleported to a height where he was eye-to-eye with Moria in mid-air.

"In fact, Zhou Huai, I know how to use Divine Artifacts better than you do."

For the first time, Zhou Huai felt such helplessness.

His consciousness attached to Moria's body, watching helplessly as the Heaven-Suppressing Seal—a Divine Artifact capable of suppressing the Laws of heaven and earth and giving the ultra-tier deity Kujo Naruya a hard time—turned into a weightless plastic toy, casually played with by Mr. Duan in the palm of his hand.

His own Avatar was not his match, and even the Divine Artifact completely failed in his hands.

Thunder Swordsman Yasuo, six-winged angel Gabriel, archer Da Yi, Great Sage Li Er, Forbidden Spell Mage Gandalf...

These ultimate trump cards that had once helped him reverse the situation and slay gods and demons were vulnerable before this man who claimed to be his uncle.

He had exhausted all his methods, yet he couldn't even touch a corner of the opponent's clothes!

This overwhelming gap in strength instantly shattered all of Zhou Huai's self-confidence.

All along, relying on the God-level Clone System, he had killed enemies across tiers and won every battle.

He thought he had touched the ceiling of this world's martial might.

But now, the appearance of this man forcefully smashed the ceiling to pieces, telling him: Everything you are proud of is nothing more than a joke.

If there really were gods in this world, they would probably be just like this.

The most crucial thing was that even when strong to Mr. Duan's extent, he still acted so cautious!

Upon realizing that Zhou Huai was an unstable factor who could summon high-tier Puppets indefinitely, he showed none of the arrogance and condescension of a superior being.

He did not hesitate to cross ten thousand miles himself to track him down, solely to eradicate this unstable factor with his own hands before it fully grew.

Put in the novel stories of his past life, there was basically no such thing as protagonist growth.

It belonged to the kind where right after saying thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river at the start, the final villain would appear in the next second to slap the protagonist to death, not even giving a chance to level up in the newbie village!

It simply lacked martial ethics to the extreme!

"It's over."

Mr. Duan in mid-air shook his head slightly, his expression looking bored.

He raised his hand and made a void grab at Moria's massive body.

Bang—!

Moria's body, hidden in the endless darkness, along with the vast shadow power within him, was crushed on the spot by an irresistible spatial mighty force!

Accompanied by a dull, loud bang, the dignified high-tier Demon Lord of Shadows was directly squeezed into a cluster of bursting blood mist!

Immediately after, in the void in the distance, Xiang Yu's iron-tower-like, robust figure broke through the sand and dust.

He let out a heaven-shaking roar, desperately trying to launch Enemy of the World and charge over.

Mr. Duan casually flicked his finger.

A cluster of deep blue flames crossed space and landed on Xiang Yu's chest.

That was the karmic fire sufficient to burn away all Laws.

"Ugh ah—!"

The immortal barrier that could even withstand Kujo Naruya's divine punishment head-on did not even last a second under this tiny flame.

Accompanied by shrill screams, Xiang Yu's indestructible body disintegrated inch by inch, turning into ashes flying all over the sky.

This was a suspense-free suppression.

After finishing all this, Mr. Duan gently patted the non-existent dust on his gloves.

He took a step forward, and the space around him rippled violently.

When he appeared again, he had crossed a distance of dozens of kilometers and returned to the archaic courtyard in Donghai City.

...

Inside the courtyard living room.

Zhou Huai was still sitting on the sofa, pale-faced, but his gaze was calm.

All the Avatars were wiped out.

Now, it was time for him, the real master.

Seeing that only Zhou Huai was left in the living room, Mr. Duan smiled, straightened the hem of his grey coat, and unhurriedly sat down right opposite Zhou Huai.

"It looks like your subordinate isn't as loyal as I thought."

Mr. Duan looked around the empty room, his tone teasing.

"I told him to leave."

Zhou Huai leaned against the back of the sofa, his tone flat, "I don't like others watching me die. Besides, him staying here wouldn't change anything, right?"

Mr. Duan looked at him, feeling somewhat surprised by Zhou Huai's calmness.

He picked up the zisha teapot on the coffee table and unhurriedly poured himself a cup of water.

Steam was rising, and the fragrance of tea drifted around.

He took a sip gently, closed his eyes to savor it for a moment, and then looked at Zhou Huai.

"This tea is not bad."

Mr. Duan put down the teacup, "I gave you a chance, but unfortunately you didn't cherish it."

His tone exuded condescending regret.

"I will not give anyone a second opportunity. So, do you have any last words?"
