The withered head, the half-dead monster—though it awoke, it couldn't even lift its head before being crushed back into the dust.
Things were pretty much as Xiao Yang had expected.
His power was on a completely different level.
No matter how the monster struggled, it couldn't break free at all. The clearest proof was that the Unimaginable One hadn't moved an inch.
