‘Primal and Savagery’… This was the power of Rules.

These so-called Rules were akin to Principles, yet they were even more abstract.

They were the fundamental forces by which Heaven and Earth operated.

To put it simply: Principles like Wind, Lightning, Water, and Fire were singular in nature, but Rules were multifaceted.

For example, the Return to Primal was like resetting all existence to a zero point.

It was inexplicable, indescribable, yet deeply mysterious, to the point that it was almost terrifying.

Compared to ordinary Principles, Rules excelled in their mystique and unpredictability…

And the two Rules Dark King had now come into contact with… were among the oldest in existence.

Of course, that was not to say Rules were necessarily superior to Principles…

After all, Time and Space were top-grade Superior Principles, on par with any Rule in existence.

As for these so-called Rules… Yu Zi Yu wasn’t overly interested in them.

The power of Rules depended heavily on one’s comprehension. And due to their abstract and elusive nature, they were extremely difficult to grasp.

Rather than spend effort on such intangible forces, Yu Zi Yu preferred to deepen his understanding of the many Principles that surrounded him.

When mastered to the advance-level, these Principles were by no means inferior to Rules.

However, in terms of practical application… Rules did seem more profound.

Like Dark King’s move, ’Return to Primal.’ With a single move, he could drag entire worlds back to the Stone Age. That kind of power defied comprehension. Even Yu Zi Yu couldn’t fully understand it.

Be that as it may, it was of no concern to Yu Zi Yu.

Not only was Dark King his subordinate, Yu Zi Yu himself had the strength to shatter all laws with brute force.

No matter how strange, how elusive… he would break it with strength alone.

Smiling in his heart, Yu Zi Yu offered encouragement, “Train well. I look forward to the day you stand atop the world as a true Hegemon.”

“Thank you, Master.” With respectful words, Dark King bowed again.

However, at this moment, his gaze toward Yu Zi Yu now brimmed with awe.

He had once believed that by stepping into Tier-6, he would at last catch a glimpse of his Master’s back.

However, after sensing Yu Zi Yu’s increasingly unfathomable aura, Dark King couldn’t help but feel a jolt of shock in his heart.

It was even more terrifying than before, far more terrifying.

“Perhaps… I was simply too weak before… too weak to perceive just how terrifying my Master truly is…” Sighing to himself, Dark King fell silent.

Just then, as if remembering something, Yu Zi Yu asked with curiosity, “You said earlier… you had another form?”

“Yes, Master…” Nodding, Dark King replied frankly, “By harnessing the power of Savagery, I can enter an extremely violent and terrifying form… In that state, my combat strength increases several fold. Tenfold even…”

As he spoke, Dark King’s body suddenly shook.

*Boooom…Booooom…* Thunderous roars reverberated around him as his body expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His eyes turned bloodshot, and his wild and ferocious aura climbed ever higher and higher.

*Crackkk…Crackkk…* Spiderweb-like cracks riddled the earth, as if the ground beneath him was unable to withstand his might.

“This power…” With surprise and suspicion in his voice, Yu Zi Yu slowly stepped back.

Because at that moment, crimson lightning erupted around him, growing more and more chaotic, turning everything within a radius of ten thousand kilometers into a world of lightning.

And at the center of that world of red lightning, a being over a hundred meters tall, with a physique beyond comprehension, now stood silently, towering and motionless.

*Ahhhh!* Roar after roar echoed through the skies, as the colossal creature pounded its chest with massive, crimson fists.

*Boooom…Boooom…* Each thunderous impact reverberated through the skies, and with every blow, a powerful shockwave exploded outward.

Its chest seemed forged from steel, unyielding and indestructible.

Its fists, on the other hand, were like meteors, They were so powerful that even space itself was torn apart the moment they struck.

“This isn’t just ordinary savagery…” Gazing at the towering red-furred giant ape, a beast seemingly brimming with untamed energy, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

This wasn’t merely the power of Savagery. There was Primal power at work too.

His body had returned to primal essence, which had brought out this unmatched, berserk form.

And indeed, as Dark King had said, in this form, his combat power had multiplied exponentially.

In just a short moment, his aura had already surged to the Late-Stage of Tier-6… and it was still climbing.

However, just then, as if noticing something, Yu Zi Yu’s pupils couldn’t help but constrict.

“Losing control, huh?”

Even as he spoke, Yu Zi Yu saw the giant, red ape, wreathed in crimson lightning and brimming with rage, suddenly raise a fist and swing it straight toward Nine Tails and Ling Er, who were quietly watching from nearby.

“Watch out…” With a sharp cry, and staring at the incoming mountain-sized fist, Nine Tails took a step forward.

She promptly waved her right hand, and countless illusory chains of silver color surged out from the void. They wove together before her into a massive silver net, forming a powerful defense.

And then—

*Booooooom…* An earth-shattering explosion rocked the world, as a powerful shockwave surged outward, pushing forth terrifying gusts in all directions.

The shockwave was so terrifying that everything in its wake, be that be towering tree and massive rocks, was uprooted from the ground.

Even entire mountain peaks were flattened in an instant…

And at the center of it all stood the red giant ape, its massive fist firmly pressed against the silvery net that blotted out the sky.

“What kind of strength is this…?” Nine Tails’ pupils constricted in shock.

She was really taken aback by Dark King’s fearsome power.

The net before was woven using the Principle of Sealing, and yet, it had been pushed taut to its very limit. Furthermore, an overwhelming force continued to push the net, pressing relentlessly.

It was extremely terrifying and savage, just like Dark King’s new form…

However, this was only the beginning.

*Roooar, roooar, roooar…* The giant red ape let out bellow after bellow, its excitement growing as if it had found a worthy opponent.

It raised its fist again, but this time, it raised its other fist as well.

Then…

*Booooom, booooom, boooooom…* Punch after punch struck the net. Like a storm of crimson meteors, those mountain-sized fists rained down.

This was no technique. It was just pure, brute force.

Each blow churned up fearsome gales that swept everything across thousands of kilometers.

Even the very space cracked apart beneath the pressure of the fist.

“What a monster…” A quiet murmur escaped from Nine Tails as she felt an even greater sense of dread.

Despite being a Late-Stage Tier-6, she was beginning to buckle before Dark King, who had just stepped into Tier-6.

She found it impossible to believe.

She was of a Celestial Fox, and two levels above him.

Even if she didn’t specialize in brute strength, she should have at least been able to withstand his onslaught!

And yet…silence settled over Nine Tails, as she stared in disbelief. Her silver net, formed from Principles, was starting to fracture.
