Chapter 1074: Escape?

The Silver King's voice rang out, and everyone present was stunned in place.

No Fusionist?

Chen Ling is the Calamity of Mockery?

Of course, most people hadn't reacted yet. After all, in their understanding, humans could never be equated with the "Calamity of Mockery"; the closest thing between them was a "Fusionist"... But there were exceptions.

"No fusion..." Zhao Yi seemed to realize something,

"No wonder... No wonder he didn't show the characteristics of a Fusionist, and the so-called 'promotion out of control' or 'distorted divine path'—this way, it all makes sense..."

"What makes sense? What exactly does he mean?" Jian Changsheng was a beat slow and could only ask blankly.

"It means Chen Ling is the Calamity of Mockery in disguise. He was a World-Ending calamity from the start, but he turned into a human and deceived everyone..." Sun Bumian walked to his side, looking at the pitch-black "human" figure on the clock tower with a complex expression,

"That... is the true form of 'Chen Ling'."

Jian Changsheng stood frozen in place.

Suddenly, chilling killing intent began to emerge from within Jian Changsheng, as if another soul had been attracted by the aura of the World-Ender and was about to break free!

"Calamity of Mockery! Heaven and Earth..."

Before Jian Changsheng could finish, Ning Ruyu's palm pressed firmly onto his shoulder, forcibly suppressing his aura.

At the same time,

The eerie "human" figure on the clock tower tilted its head slightly...

Although it possessed human limbs, its movements were completely beyond the scope of what a human body could achieve. There were no skeletal limitations, no flesh-and-blood connections; every move it made exuded an "inhuman" eeriness, like a nightmare that made one's scalp crawl.

The crescent-like scarlet pupils looked down from the clock tower at the ruins. The moment it tilted its head, the Silver King's domain that had originally covered this realm shattered with a bang, and the entire world seemed to be shrouded in an eerie black-and-white filter.

The sky was soaked in ink-green, the ruins were pale as snow, and everything in the distance felt oppressive and dull. This dark tone made everyone feel as if they were inside an old television, with a strong sense of unreality...

"This is... a Calamity Domain?" The Butcher and the others felt intense discomfort and pressure, muttering to themselves.

"The Lord of the Abyss of Ghostly Mockery, the King of World-Ending Calamities... A large portion of the calamities that slaughtered billions during the Great Catastrophe were his subordinates. Perhaps the Gray World invasion is also related to him. He is the true mortal enemy of humanity!"

The Silver King's voice rang out again, his tone mixed with a hint of excitement,

"Now, he is here... How will you deal with him?"

The faces of the several Judgment Deputies were incredibly ugly.

No matter how damnable the Silver King was, he was still human, while the Calamity of Mockery was a World-Ending calamity from the Gray World, one of the culprits behind the destruction of humanity... Just as the Silver King said, he was a mortal enemy of humanity.

Could it be that they should ignore the Calamity of Mockery now and continue to hunt down the Silver King?

Above the gray sky,

Pieces of drifting red paper, like blood crows, circled the clock tower. The "human" figure, exuding a deadly dangerous aura, looked up slightly, its scarlet pupils fixed on the Silver King who was speaking.

Almost simultaneously, a sense of life-and-death crisis, unprecedented in intensity, surged into the Silver King's heart!

This sense of crisis was far stronger than when he was hunted by the Gray King or driven to a dead end by the Red King's schemes. Even though the Silver King was a Ninth-Rank Demigod, his body couldn't stop breaking out in cold sweat... He knew the Calamity of Mockery had set its sights on him.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Silver King instantly stole space and flashed one step outside the Wuji Domain!

Even though he was already in the Gray World and couldn't see the Calamity of Mockery, the Silver King didn't stop. Instead, he stole space repeatedly, crossing the Gray World in a breath, arriving above the nearest Tian Shu Domain, and then continued forward...

Steal! Steal! Steal!

By the time the Silver King stopped, he was already near the Xuan Yu Domain, a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the Wuji Domain.

The Silver King breathed heavily, his face deathly pale. Since stepping into the Demigod rank, he had never run for his life so desperately. In fact, from the moment he released the Calamity of Mockery, he had been building up strength to steal space...

He knew that in a head-on fight, he would definitely be no match for the Calamity of Mockery, but when it came to running away, he didn't believe anyone in the world could hold back a Demigod "Thief" like him—not even a World-Ending calamity.

Otherwise, how would he have dared to formulate a plan using the Calamity of Mockery as a "weapon"?

The Silver King looked back toward the Wuji Domain. After taking a few deep breaths, the fear in his heart finally dissipated slightly... If nothing went wrong, the Twilight Society members, the Judgment Deputies, and the Red and Gray Kings in the Wuji Domain would all be buried at the hands of the Calamity of Mockery.

This move of driving a tiger to devour a wolf was undoubtedly the Silver King's final desperate gamble, and now, he had won.

"No matter how meticulous your plans are, how could you have calculated that you would fall at the hands of your own little apprentice?"

The Silver King brushed the dust off his hem and muttered to himself.

However,

Just as he was about to turn and leave, an anomaly occurred!

His figure suddenly seemed to have been hit by a rewind button. After pausing in place for a moment, he vanished instantly. By the time the Silver King regained his senses, he had arrived in a desolate part of the Gray World...

This is...

The Silver King was stunned. He was somewhat familiar with the surroundings; this was a place he had passed through during his escape just now.

The next moment, his figure vanished again.

After that, the Silver King saw the Gray World canyon he had just passed, the Tian Shu Domain, and then another part of the Gray World... At this moment, the Silver King suddenly seemed to realize something, and unprecedented terror appeared on his face!!

He was moving backward.

His "plot" was moving backward!

It was as if an invisible hand was moving the progress bar of the plot, pulling his body, which had already escaped, step by step back into the past. He was returning to the Wuji Domain at an astonishing speed!!

"No... How is this possible... I've already escaped to the Xuan Yu Domain, how could he catch me??"

The Silver King exclaimed in shock. He saw the Gray World at the edge of the Wuji Domain flash past his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back in front of the clock tower in the Wuji Domain...

The ink-green sky was oppressive and chilling, and on the dark earth, countless red papers swirled and flew like blood crows...

The "human" figure was standing quietly in front of him, a pair of eerie blood-colored pupils looking at him with mockery, as if ridiculing his ignorance and arrogance.

[Mock].

It wasn't just the Silver King; everyone present was dumbfounded...

Everyone saw that after the Calamity of Mockery appeared, the Silver King vanished into thin air, not knowing how far he had fled... But the "human" figure just raised its hand slightly, and the Silver King's body moved backward in an eerie posture, forcibly flying back from outside the Wuji Domain, arriving in front of the "human" figure...
