Chapter 1290: Characteristics of the Calamity of Mockery

The moment he saw this face, Chen Ling felt as if his head had exploded.

The anger, sorrow, and thoughts about Chu Changqing's current changes that had arisen were all blanked out in this instant. His thinking stalled... He stared blankly at the familiar face, and it took a full dozen seconds before he came back to his senses.

Chu Changqing... is the Calamity of Mockery?

No, that's not right.

Chu Changqing fused with the Calamity of Mockery.

That's not right either... Chen Ling knew how strong the Calamity of Mockery was. Even as one of the Nine Lords, Chu Changqing could absolutely not perfectly fuse with the Calamity of Mockery, especially since the Calamity of Mockery was now inside his own body. Perhaps Chu Changqing, like Teacher Ye, had only fused with a part of a World-Ending Calamity.

But how could this be possible?

Wasn't Chu Changqing taken away by the Calamity of Turbidity? How did he get involved with the Calamity of Mockery?

"How... how did you fuse with the Calamity of Mockery??" Chen Ling frowned tightly.

Chu Changqing did not answer. He just slowly raised his hand and wiped his face again. Chu Changqing's face covered the face of the Calamity of Mockery again, as if everything just now had been a hallucination.

His cyan pupils stared at Chen Ling, and after a long while, he spoke again:

"I don't care who you think you are, whether it's Chen Ling or the Calamity of Mockery. If you really have a conscience, you should stay away from everyone and find a place where no one is.

Bringing disaster and misfortune to others is the characteristic of the Calamity of Mockery... You, too, will sooner or later kill everyone around you."

Chen Ling's fists clenched suddenly.

If it were before, Chen Ling would have dismissed this statement with disdain, but now that the Fusion Faction was in a dead end because of him, this statement was like a thorn, precisely piercing the most painful part of Chen Ling's heart.

*Hum—hum—*

Layers of ripples spread from beneath the Lake Pavilion, and the lake surface, which had been slightly calm for a while, became restless again.

Outside the domain at this time, monstrous waves churned again, mountain-sized ice blocks created terrifying whirlpools on the sea surface, and the continuous screeching of Calamities resounded through the sky.

Under the desperate protection of the eight miracle creatures, the three-eyed giant turtle had approached the land. However, as the pressure of the World-Ending Calamity erupted from the seabed, a pitch-black giant shadow of unknown parts rose from between the two full moons at the bottom of the deep sea and began to entangle the three-eyed giant turtle's limbs.

The giant turtle, which had almost reached the land, was forcibly dragged back into the sea bit by bit, and countless Calamities climbed onto its body again, almost drowning it.

On the Lake Pavilion, Chu Changqing, who was intending to say something more, narrowed his eyes.

He turned to look in another direction:

"Pu Guizong, what are you waiting for?!!"

Chu Changqing's voice was like thunder, exploding over the entire South Sea Domain.

After a brief silence, from the deepest part of the South Sea Pu family, beneath the cliff at the entrance of the Ancient Book Collection, a massive ink-black pillar erupted into the sky!!

The moment the pillar rose, a Demigod-level aura surged throughout the entire domain. All Pu family members felt it at this moment and looked up at the sky suddenly. Their respective Book Divine Paths couldn't help but roar, as if responding to the aura of the leader of the Book Divine Path that shot straight into the sky!

"It's the Ancestor! The Ancestor has made a move!!" A glint flashed in Pu Lao Liu's eyes.

【The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth...】

【Thus have I heard. At one time, the Buddha was in the country of Sravasti. In the Jetavana Garden, with a great assembly of Bhikshus...】

【In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor was born with divine spirit, could speak when weak, was obedient when young, and was steady and agile when grown, eventually ascending to heaven...】

If one looked closely at this moment, one would find that the ink-black pillar shooting into the sky was actually composed of characters the size of rice grains. The characters carrying the memories of civilization were like some kind of miniaturized code, rising into the sky in a specific order.

At the forefront were literary classics written in modern Chinese characters, and as the pillar climbed, character shapes from different dynasties appeared. Since each character was only the size of a rice grain, the literary classics contained in this pillar reaching the sky must have numbered in the hundreds of millions!

As the ink pillar rose, those dense, tiny characters began to stain the surrounding void, like illusory code that did not exist in three-dimensional space. With a gentle tremor, they disappeared without a trace...

When they appeared again, they had already crossed the obstruction of the turtle's back and arrived at the surging sea surface.

A black cloud spread from around the three-eyed giant turtle. Those characters were like sharp blades, directly cutting the Calamities climbing on the turtle's back into blood mist, and then, along the four giant turtle feet that were entangled, they went to slaughter into the deep sea!

The massive giant shadows extending from the Calamity of Taboo's body were forcibly severed by these characters, allowing the three-eyed giant turtle to temporarily break free from its shackles and continue crawling toward the shore.

The next moment,

A low and angry roar sounded from between the two full moons, almost shattering eardrums!

"The Calamity of Taboo has been enraged." Old Wolf covered his ears with both hands and said hoarsely.

"Can they escape?"

"The South Sea Lord and the Pu family Ancestor joining forces, theoretically, there is a great hope." Old Wolf paused for a moment, his gaze falling on the hideous full moons in the deep sea. "But if the Calamity of Taboo is enraged... anything can happen."

Before Old Wolf finished speaking, the giant shadows in the deep sea began to expand visibly...

It was as if something was approaching the sea surface rapidly.

*Boom—!!*

Massive giant shadows like seaweed broke through the sea surface with a bang.

In front of these giant shadows, the magnificent icebergs seemed as small as toys. If one looked closely, one would find that these seaweed-like giant shadows were actually composed of dense, twisted corpses—animals, plants, Calamities, humans... They were like paperclips attached to a magnet, adhering to the surface of the curse scripts. At this moment, there were dozens of them towering over the sea surface, like a twisted and eerie giant forest, surrounding the three-eyed giant turtle.

That was part of the Calamity of Taboo's body.

*Boom, boom, boom—*

These giant shadows slammed onto the three-eyed giant turtle's shell one after another. The waves raised by the immense force were hundreds of meters high, combined with the churning Calamity bodies around and the chaotic, dim sky light, it was like the apocalypse had arrived.

For a time, the Fusion Faction members didn't know whether to hope the three-eyed giant turtle would escape or be kept by the Calamity of Taboo... No matter the final result, once the Forbidden Sea dealt with the three-eyed giant turtle, they would still be dead for sure.

Linglong moved her gaze away from the distant battlefield and looked back at Teacher Ye behind her.

At this moment, Teacher Ye was sitting cross-legged on the cold tracks, his eyes closed tightly. An indescribable Calamity aura radiated from him. His spirit seemed to have melted into this aura, leaving only a shell here.

No matter how the earth shook in the distance, Teacher Ye, wearing a wet shirt, remained motionless.
