Godslayer: My Forbidden Ruins Master

Cao Yuan's swift and decisive actions truly deterred those petty individuals who had intended to take advantage of the chaos to rush into the central tower.

In the corridor, the prisoners who had just recovered from the [Forbidden Ruins] but were terrified by the bloody scene before them stood trembling in place, unable to move forward or backward.

They stared at the mangled corpses on the ground, which looked particularly gruesome in the shadows, and at Cao Yuan's towering figure, their eyes filled with a new kind of fear—a fear of the killing itself and of the unknown power.

However, this brief period of calm did not last long.

An even stronger and heavier pressure from the Forbidden Ruins surged in from the direction of the prison's main road in the distance, like an invisible tide.

This oppressive aura was far beyond what those small fry could compare to. It carried a deep and expansive presence, like a colossal creature stirring in the depths of the ocean, making the air heavy and as if trying to squeeze out every breath.

The lights in Lu Xuan's cell began to flicker violently, as if they were being subjected to some kind of enormous energy impact. Even the teacup in Lu Xuan's hand began to sway slightly, creating ripples.

Lu Xuan's gaze also focused, looking into the depths of the corridor. The helpless expression on his face finally faded, replaced by a sharp and inquisitive look.

"The real... has arrived."

Cao Yuan let out a low shout, and the [Shadow] Forbidden Ruins condensed around him again, turning into a layer of faint black mist, making him look like an assassin who had walked out of hell.

Baili Pangpang's face turned deathly pale. He could feel the immense power within this oppressive aura, a power so strong that even his [Free Space] couldn't help but tremble.

"The sea...the sea border!"

Baili Pangpang's voice trembled slightly. He instinctively took half a step back and unconsciously hid behind Cao Yuan.

At the end of the corridor, in the dim light, a group of more than ten figures slowly walked towards them.

Each step they took carried a heavy rhythm, treading on the destroyed ground with a "thud, thud" sound, as if each step was pounding on everyone's heart.

Leading the group was a bald, gigantic man with a ferocious appearance. His head was completely hairless, replaced by twisted, seaweed-like blue lines that extended to his neck and arms. His muscles were bulging, as if forged from steel, and every step he took carried a force that shook the ground.

Even more astonishing was the blue energy surrounding him, like ocean waves.

This energy was not illusory, but rather like a tangible flow of water, constantly swirling and surging around him, emitting a deep roar.

With each breath, the blue energy surged like the tide as his chest rose and fell. He was clearly a genuine [Sea Realm Powerhouse]!

The giant's gaze was like a blade as he glanced contemptuously at the corpses on the ground that Cao Yuan had killed. A mocking sneer appeared on his lips: "A bunch of trash, daring to challenge the authority of the 'Prison Bully'? They really don't know what's good for them."

His tone was full of disdain, as if the deaths of those corpses were an absolute obedience to his orders.

He casually tossed a still-dripping energy whip in his hand to one of his underlings, then his gaze finally settled on Lu Xuan, who was leisurely sipping tea.

Those eyes, made especially sinister by years of exposure to violence, were now filled with disdain and greed, as well as an uncontrollable, insane desire for revenge.

"Cao Yuan, you've done a pretty good job as a lackey."

The giant's voice was rough, yet carried an overwhelming aura, "Unfortunately, you dog, you'll die today too!"

He showed no mercy in mocking Cao Yuan, but a hint of jealousy and resentment towards Lu Xuan flashed in his eyes.

He was once the de facto ruler of this prison, and everyone trembled at his feet.

However, Lu Xuan's arrival completely overturned everything. Under the suppression of the Zhenxu Stele, his proud [Sea King] Forbidden Ruins were rendered useless, and he could only watch helplessly as Lu Xuan acted recklessly, even killing several of his trusted confidants. That humiliation was etched into his heart like a brand.

"Kid, it's time to settle the score from before."

The giant's voice suddenly rose, like a raging sea in a storm, every word carrying terrifying killing intent, "I'll let you know that without the Zhenxu Stele, you're not even worthy to carry my shoes!"

He approached step by step, each step carrying a powerful sense of oppression. Behind him, more than ten prisoners revealed their respective [Forbidden Ruins], some with [Stone Skin], some with [Blazing Flames], and some with [Deadly Poison]. Although each one was not as powerful as the giant, when they came together, they formed a terrifying force.

Lu Xuan finally turned his gaze from the distance and landed on the bald giant.

There was no fear on his face, but rather a hint of amusement. This [Sea Realm expert] possessed exceptionally powerful energy fluctuations, far superior to the "mosquito legs" from before.

He licked his lips, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes.

"Yes...it's time to stretch our muscles."

Lu Xuan murmured softly.
