Chapter 1326: Chen Ling’s Uneven Development

Wu Yi’s body slowly knelt to the ground, as if begging Chen Ling for something.

Chen Ling watched it for a long time and finally nodded slightly,

“Fine, go ahead.”

Wu Yi stood up, passed by the bodies of the two Poison Heads, the toad and the scorpion, and came before the curled-up Centipede Poison Head in full view of everyone...

Although Wu Yi’s size was also large, before the Centipede Poison Head, it still looked like a four or five-year-old child. Even though the Centipede Poison Head had lost half its body, it was still several times larger than it.

Wu Yi’s body gradually tensed, as if it had made up its mind, and a reddish glow began to rise on its body.

Zhi—!!!

As a sharp hiss erupted from Wu Yi’s mouth, shock appeared in the eyes of the watching poisonous insects!

It... wants to launch a Primitive Challenge against the Centipede Poison Head?!

You have to know, although the Centipede Poison Head had half its body bitten off and its head hanging down, it was in a seriously injured state, but it was still an eighth-order Poison Head. A lean camel is bigger than a horse; no matter how weak it was, it wasn’t something a seventh-order poisonous insect could easily challenge.

When the Centipede Poison Head challenged the previous Poison Head, it wasn’t as if no poisonous insects wanted to take advantage of the situation, launching a challenge immediately after the Centipede Poison Head’s pyrrhic victory. This was completely compliant in the Ghost Mockery Abyss. After all, a Primitive Challenge could be launched at any time, meaning a Poison Head must possess absolute suppression power; no matter how weak they were, they had to be able to use all means to kill their enemies.

But none of the poisonous insects that wanted to take advantage of the situation back then survived; in the end, they all became supplements for the Centipede Poison Head after its pyrrhic victory...

So generally speaking, only poisonous insects that had been promoted to the same rank, that is, promoted to eighth-order, dared to launch a Primitive Challenge against the previous Poison Head.

Up until now, almost no poisonous insect had succeeded in challenging an eighth-order Poison Head as a seventh-order.

Seeing the junior he had just belittled now daring to speak boldly about challenging him while he was weak, the Centipede Poison Head, which had already been in despair, felt intense anger climb in its eyes again. It could accept dying at the hands of the King, but it absolutely would not allow a seventh-order junior to step on it to get ahead!

The Centipede Poison Head raised its head, which was about to fall off, and let out a furious roar at Wu Yi. The pressure of the Poison Head swept out instantly!!

It accepted Wu Yi’s challenge!

The next second, Wu Yi turned into a reddish afterimage and rushed toward the Centipede Poison Head!

The Primitive Challenge started again. The surrounding Toad Poison Head and Scorpion Poison Head naturally wouldn’t interfere, and they immediately retreated to the distance. However, unlike the toad, which was dull and jumped far away, the Scorpion Poison Head was very sensible, coming before Chen Ling, lying down, and indicating that it was willing to carry Chen Ling away.

Chen Ling swept a cold glance at the fawning scorpion and didn’t refuse, stumbling onto its back.

Although Chen Ling had regained sobriety, his hungover body still didn’t listen to him very well. He sat directly on the scorpion’s back, and the latter carried him away like the wind, arriving at a place where he could watch the battlefield from above without being affected.

Below, a large and a small centipede were slaughtering each other frantically.

It could be seen that although Wu Yi was far more powerful than centipedes of the same rank, facing an eighth-order Poison Head that had fought its way up, even in a seriously injured state, it was still hard to gain the upper hand. Under the Centipede Poison Head’s storm-like attacks, it could only move around and dodge passively.

Once a Primitive Challenge is opened, it cannot be interrupted until a winner is decided, and others cannot interfere at will, not even Chen Ling, the King of the Ghost Mockery Abyss.

He certainly couldn’t break the rules he had set himself.

Since he couldn’t interfere with the final result, Chen Ling stopped wasting his energy watching the battle and instead focused all his attention on himself...

Although he was almost doomed in the middle, Chen Ling still survived this third Slaying Calamity. If the Red King hadn’t awakened him, if he hadn’t grasped the essence of the personality strife, if he hadn’t chosen to devour the black-robed shadow immediately, and if the Five-Poison Wine hadn’t helped him survive the mental breakdown, the one standing here wouldn’t be Chen Ling, but a dark personality full of negative emotions.

The conditions for all this were too difficult to achieve, so much so that Chen Ling was still a bit dazed that he had actually survived...

Surviving a great disaster brings good fortune.

The third Slaying Calamity was too difficult, and accordingly, the benefits Chen Ling gained were far beyond imagination.

The black-robed shadow had devoured countless audience members, and Chen Ling had devoured the black-robed shadow, meaning his control over the Mockery Calamity’s body had directly improved by a large margin. Now, after Chen Ling activated the calamity body, his physical combat strength alone was enough to fight an eighth-order.

Although the Centipede Poison Head didn’t use any eighth-order abilities in the Primitive Challenge just now, the physical combat strength of a calamity was far superior to that of a human. Chen Ling’s ability to defeat the Centipede Poison Head in the end showed that his physical combat strength had reached a near-perverted level. Even against a human eighth-order capable of using divine paths, he wasn’t without a chance of winning.

But if Chen Ling wanted to push his calamity body to that level, it would inevitably induce the dark personality suppressed in his body. In other words, while gaining extremely strong combat strength, his own emotions and behavior would become uncontrollable.

It should be noted that although Chen Ling possessed the physical combat strength to fight an eighth-order, it was limited to "physical body." He didn’t have a substantial eighth-order rank, nor did he have corresponding eighth-order Mockery Calamity abilities. His own skill rank was still stuck at the sixth-order.

Chen Ling now was like a sports student with severe uneven development: his sports grades were the best in the province, but his academic grades were still stuck at the junior high level.

Zhan Sha is like the super-soldier serum from a movie; it can cause Chen Ling's physical combat power to skyrocket in a very short time. However, rank is something that comes from the distorted Path of the Drama God, and it can only be advanced bit by bit through constant performances. No matter how urgent things are, there is no way around it.

But with his physical body alone, Chen Ling is already enough to fight an Eighth-Rank. He can't even imagine how strong he will be once his skills are also raised to the corresponding level.

Challenging a Demigod with the power of an Eighth-Rank?

Then what about when he ascends to Demigod himself?

Only now does Chen Ling truly realize why the Mockery Calamity in its prime was called the King of Calamities... It was simply too strong, perhaps even invincible in the world. Perhaps that is precisely why it drove its own personalities to slaughter each other for amusement.

After familiarizing himself with the changes in his body, Chen Ling's gaze fell once again upon that distorted Path of the Drama God.

The appearance of the Black-Robed Drama Shadow had accelerated his mid-Sixth-Rank performance. Now that he had completed the performance, it meant he could reach the peak of the Sixth Rank without obstruction... but relying on his own slow accumulation, it would still take too long.

Once the Abyss of Ghostly Mockery is stabilized, perhaps he can take the initiative to hunt down the Jiangtian Sect strongholds in the Gray World, absorb the power of the Red Star, and improve rapidly.
