Chapter 1396: World-Destroying Meeting

The sound of a manic storm swirled in Chen Ling's ears.

His consciousness was like something thrown into a tumble dryer, constantly churning in the void. But having already gotten drunk, he had absolutely no reaction to this, sliding through the void like a piece of rotten mud, and finally landing silently on a calm sea surface...

As he drifted down, ripples spread across the mirror-like, undisturbed sea surface, extending to the end of the void under the dim sky.

This didn't look like a real sea surface, but rather like some fictional consciousness space. Above this boundless, calm sea, huge and magnificent stone pillars stood tall, and above them was a complex and ancient castle dome, except that this dome had now been infinitely magnified until it covered the entire sea surface.

If Chen Ling were awake, he would be able to see that this ancient castle was very familiar... it was exactly where the Calamity of Thought resided on the Island of Storms.

The moment Chen Ling drifted down, the sea surface beside him surged violently!!

The same storm of thoughts swept beneath the sea surface. A moment later, the outline of an incomparably huge giant shadow emerged from the storm!

It was like an endless black shadow attacking from the deep sea. The originally blue sea surface became pitch-black as ink under its shroud. As the giant shadow continued to magnify on the sea surface, a moment later, a thunderous roar crashed through the sea surface!

BOOM!!!

The aura of world destruction surged out. A super giant shadow, shaped like a whale but with a huge and eerie lantern, appeared from the surging, towering waves. Dense, eerie black incantations covered its entire body, making one's scalp tingle and spirit chaotic just by looking at it.

Under the reflection of its huge body, the bright red opera robe drunk on the sea surface was like a grain of cinnabar floating with the waves, incomparably tiny.

[The Deep Sea Curse Shadow that sinks into eternal night, the Ming-vast corpse that spreads taboos]

——Calamity of Taboo.

After the Calamity of Taboo appeared, a third storm of thoughts appeared in the sky.

The storm of thoughts that appeared out of thin air was like a messy ball of yarn spinning crazily. As a pair of pale, skeletal giant wings shattered the edge of the storm, a hideous bone dragon that blotted out the sky flew in the sky!

Under the flapping of those giant wings built from grim white bones, it was unknown whether the wind was circulating or civilization was wailing. Its hollow, void-like eye sockets overlooked the sea surface below. The area swept by that gaze seemed to have even the air extracted...

It flew in a half-circle in mid-air, then slowly descended onto the sea surface. A low dragon's breath sounded, and the sea surface, which had finally calmed down, trembled again!

[The Wilderness Singer who chants destruction, the giant dust dragon that brushes away civilization]

——Calamity of Breath.

Immediately after, the fourth and fifth storms of thoughts rolled up on the sea surface.

Dense, thick roots extended from the cracks in the storm, like the tentacles of an octopus or a winding snake group. The moment they took root in the sea surface, they directly transformed the seawater into viscous, eerie soil. Above the countless roots, a giant shadow like a flesh-and-blood flower was gradually outlined...

The blood-colored flower bud hung on the roots like a tumor, like a twisted and strange sunflower.

Hideous, dense fangs are scattered along the edges of the petals, and the miasma vaguely drifting from them circles the flower. From a distance, the tumor-like sunflower looks surprisingly like a Buddha’s halo suffused with celestial energy; holiness and bloodshed are perfectly intertwined in this moment.

【The writhing overlord of the Bitter Flesh Forest, the Flower-Plucking Buddha hunting for light】

——Calamity of Turbidity.

In the final storm of thoughts, a black shadow soared into the sky. The moment it unfurled and spread out, the entire sky above the sea was blotted out... It was like an endless, infinite night. Pairs of hollow, eerie eyes opened upon it like dense stars, and each eye was different: deer eyes, wolf eyes, marten eyes, rat eyes... The moment these eyes opened, an indescribable resentment surged through the air!

After a moment of stagnation, the night that shrouded the firmament finally began to contract, and only then could its true form be barely discerned...

It was a skin.

A bizarre, blood-stained skin covered in eyes, rolling and folding in the air, at times transforming into a deer, at times into a squirrel, at times into a weasel, and at times even attempting to take human form!

But its eyes were composed of dense clusters of beastly pupils, looking as eerie and creepy as a honeycomb.

【The Primordial Mother forever fallen into delusion, the totem of desire with a painted skin】

——Calamity of Delusion.

As these four giant beasts manifested above the sea, the final storm swept in from the void.

However, no giant shadow appeared within this storm; instead, it expanded and surged, extending into the surroundings as if it possessed life, until finally, a pair of hollow pupils opened within it.

In that instant, the entire sea and the ancient castle above it trembled slightly, as if in this world of thoughts, it was the absolute king.

【The nightmare of the isolated island in the storm of eternal sleep, the treacherous ghost at the end of thought】

——Calamity of Thought.

Five world-ending auras gathered above the sea, nearly throwing the entire maritime region into chaotic agitation. Their auras collided with one another, and at the same time, their thoughts linked across the sea surface through this storm...

"Still... missing... one..."

"Where... is... Mockery?"

The confusion of the Calamity of Taboo rippled through the thoughts of the other world-ending entities. A moment later, the storm-like Calamity of Thought shifted its direction, and a pair of ethereal pupils looked toward a neglected corner of the sea...

Amidst the towering waves stirred up by the several world-ending entities, a figure draped in bright red theatrical robes lay face-up on the sea, having been pushed several kilometers away by the waves without even realizing it. Rhythmic, light snoring sounds came from his nostrils, as if he were sleeping soundly.

The other world-ending entities fell into silence simultaneously.

The skeletal dragon, the Calamity of Breath, opened its mouth directly, its world-ending aura brewing within its body, seemingly intending to hit Chen Ling with a dragon breath.

The other calamities sensed its intent and knew that the Calamity of Breath and the Calamity of Mockery had always been at odds. The Calamity of Thought wanted to mediate, but after a moment of hesitation, it did not speak up...

The terrifying dragon breath gathered before the Calamity of Breath, the surging aftermath directly clearing a vacuum in the surrounding waves. The next second, a destructive aura that pierced the heavens and the earth shot toward Chen Ling, who was floating in the distance!!

BOOM—!!!

The moment this dragon breath erupted, the entire world of consciousness trembled slightly, and thin, ethereal cracks spread in all directions along the path of the breath!

The dragon breath engulfed the red theatrical robes, pierced through the sea, and directly evaporated the surrounding waters into nothingness...

Just as the Calamity of Breath stared at the direction where Chen Ling had been engulfed,

a cold voice sounded from above it:

"Breath..."

"Are you... looking to die?"

The next second, the sea beneath the Calamity of Breath was suddenly transformed into a raging sea of fire. A pillar of fire, far more intense than a nuclear explosion, directly engulfed its body, soaring into the sky within this world of consciousness!!
