Chapter 1296: Ceasefire

Half of the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle’s body climbed onto land.

But the furious Calamity of Taboo in the sea, and the countless calamities of the Forbidden Sea, didn’t intend to let it leave…

Boom—!!!

An earth-shattering wave swept from the depths of the ocean, crashing onto the land directly behind the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle. The surging seawater actually shattered the coastline, and like a rising tide, it re-enveloped the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle into the realm of the ocean.

The Forbidden Sea could swallow the Aurora Domain and cover so much of the Gray Realm’s land; naturally, it could also submerge the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle on the shore…

Just because they lived on the seabed didn’t mean they couldn’t reach the land.

“Damn it… why are they so relentless??”

Pu Guizong, the ancestor of the Pu family on the turtle’s back, looked terrible.

The reason he had worked so hard to clear the path for the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle was to hope that once they reached the shore, they could avoid attacks from the seabed. But he never expected the Calamity of Taboo to be so relentless that it would submerge a piece of land just to keep them there.

The surging waves continued to pour into the South Sea Domain along the cracks in the shell, mixed with a large number of Forbidden Sea calamities; the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle’s hind legs were still entangled by the Calamity of Taboo, unable to move; the surrounding seawater continued to freeze into icebergs, blocking the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle’s path…

Nothing had changed.

Pu Guizong didn’t know how much longer he could tangle with the Calamity of Taboo, nor did he know if Chu Changqing still had any trump cards hidden. But there was no doubt that the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle, carrying the South Sea Domain, was reaching its limit.

If the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle died here, the South Sea Domain wouldn’t be able to move, and what awaited them would be a certain death trap!

“…Hmm?”

Pu Guizong seemed to notice something and looked back.

At some point, a large group of scarlet, super-sized centipedes was crawling rapidly toward the shell of the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle!

Pu Guizong was shocked:

“Why are there calamities from the Abyss of Mockery here too?!”

The Forbidden Sea alone had already brought the South Sea Domain to the brink of collapse. If the Abyss of Mockery came as well, they would surely die!

But strangely, these centipedes didn’t attack the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle. They just kept crawling along its limbs, and at the same time, the Calamity of Taboo beneath the deep sea launched another attack!

Countless hideous giant shadows burst from beneath the sea surface, as if to directly shatter the body of the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle.

Seeing this, Pu Guizong gritted his teeth and was about to forcibly block it again, when a sharp hiss sounded from behind!

Pu Guizong turned to look and saw an exceptionally thick scarlet centipede baring its fangs at the Calamity of Taboo, as if issuing some kind of warning…

The giant tentacle shadows that covered the sky immediately froze in mid-air.

Wu Yi was strong, even capable of fighting an eighth-order calamity, but in front of the Calamity of Taboo, it was just a slightly larger ant… The Calamity of Taboo couldn’t possibly fear Wu Yi. The reason it stopped was because it was wary of the one behind Wu Yi.

Wu Yi was there to welcome the King of the Abyss of Mockery. If it attacked Wu Yi now, it would be equivalent to declaring war on the Calamity of Mockery.

Undoubtedly, the Calamity of Taboo had no desire to provoke that guy.

The Calamity of Taboo stopped its actions, and the Forbidden Sea calamities that had climbed onto the back of the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle also tactfully made way for the centipede legion… They just surrounded the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle without attacking, seemingly determined to let the centipede legion retrieve the Calamity of Mockery first before launching their assault.

Seeing this, astonishment appeared in Pu Guizong’s eyes.

He hadn’t expected that Chen Ling’s single word, “Wu Yi,” could make the entire Forbidden Sea stop…

And the South Sea Domain, with its millions of people, had also gained a precious breathing space because of these two words from Chen Ling…

The decline faced by all humans in this era had stalled at this moment.

And the root of all this was Chen Ling, who had been forced out of the human domain.

At this instant, a thought suddenly rose in Pu Guizong’s mind… Was forcing Chen Ling away really the right decision?

But soon, he stopped that thought from extending. In the end, the Calamity of Taboo stopped to save face for the Calamity of Mockery, and the Calamity of Mockery was inherently an extremely unstable existence. If they bet the future of humanity on such a dangerous existence, that would be the real mistake.

……

On the street, Chen Ling slowly raised his head.

He saw a large number of shadow centipedes swarming in through the crack in the shell. Each one was hideous and terrifying, and their numbers were staggering… The moment they appeared, the residents of the entire South Sea Domain let out screams of terror!

Although Forbidden Sea calamities had entered earlier, they were mixed in the seawater, and deep-sea creatures were naturally twisted and blurry, so people couldn’t see them clearly. But these hideous centipedes were visibly terrifying.

The public frantically urged the nearby Divine Path possessors to block these invading calamities, but the next second, all the Pu family members received a warning from their ancestor…

Absolutely do not attack these centipedes!

You have to know, the reason the Calamity of Taboo hadn’t continued its attack was because of these centipedes. If they attacked these centipedes themselves, not to mention whether they could win, it was a stupid act of cutting off their own path to survival. If they angered the Calamity of Mockery below, things would be even more troublesome.

Chen Ling’s centipede legion charged into the streets of the South Sea Domain with an absolutely arrogant posture. Neither the Forbidden Sea nor the South Sea Domain dared to block them…

Finally, under the watchful eyes of all, the centipede legion gathered beside the figure in the opera robe.

Wu Yi, whose figure was like a mountain, let out a soft hiss, then prostrated itself respectfully, as if kneeling before Chen Ling. Its mouthparts moved slightly, and its eyes seemed filled with excitement and anticipation… At the same time, all the other shadow centipedes immediately prostrated themselves as well.

The centipede legion awaited the “King’s” orders.

In the residential buildings on both sides, everyone’s heart jumped into their throats.

They watched the red-clad figure nervously, as if afraid that Chen Ling would say “kill them all,” and those terrifying centipedes would slaughter the entire street… Judging by the centipedes’ attitude toward Chen Ling, no matter what Chen Ling asked them to do, they wouldn’t hesitate for a second.

The surrounding public seemed to have long forgotten their curses against Chen Ling, praying frantically in their hearts for Chen Ling to spare them.

Under everyone’s nervous gaze,

Chen Ling raised his hand and gently stroked Wu Yi’s head.

The red-cloud-like crimson opera robe danced in the cold wind, and a pair of vermilion earrings swayed with the wind… Chen Ling’s gaze slowly swept across the domain, deep exhaustion and disappointment revealing themselves in his eyes.

He was tired.

He didn’t want to deal with these people anymore; he just wanted to find a place to stay quietly by himself.

The human domain didn’t welcome him, the Fusion Faction had lost its home, and the Ancient Treasury of the Opera Path had someone he didn’t want to see… In this world, he seemed to have only one destination left.

He parted his lips slightly and spoke hoarsely:

“Return…”

“to the Abyss of Mockery.”
