Chapter 1436: Sealed Forever?

“Oh no...”

[Audience Expectation +4]

[Current Expectation: 24%]

Seeing this scene, Chen Ling’s heart fell into an ice cellar.

Chen Ling never expected that the Calamity of Thought would break the situation in this way. So far, this was the first time that, while fully releasing the Calamity of Mockery, not only did it fail to kill the enemy, but it was instead suppressed back to its original rank!

Is this a world-ending calamity?

Even if it was just a Calamity of Thought bound by an aged body, it was not on the same level as the enemies he had faced before.

That dying old man, who seemed to have one foot in the grave, crawled out of the ruins, almost losing his footing and falling to the ground... but at this moment, a glimmer of excitement at having survived a disaster flashed in those blood-red pupils!

Its plan had succeeded!!

The moment Chen Ling saw that the Calamity of Thought was still alive, he took a pistol out of his sleeve, pressed the muzzle against his temple, and pulled the trigger again!

The next second, the gun in his hand directly dismantled into the many brushstrokes of “gun” and dissipated into the void bit by bit.

Chen Ling’s gaze sharpened, intending to take out the bone-stripping knife again, but a character “Bind” pierced through the void in an instant, shooting from the direction of the tottering old man!

Chen Ling only felt his limbs stiffen, his whole body bound by an invisible force, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break free at all.

The aged figure walked closer and closer, and the terrifying sense of oppression surged toward Chen Ling like a tidal wave!

A world-ending calamity, no matter how weak, is still a world-ending calamity; a demigod, no matter how dying, is still a demigod;

As long as the Calamity of Thought’s heart was still beating, it was not an existence that Chen Ling, who had just stepped into the Seventh-Order, could contend with. And with the Calamity of Thought’s successful breakthrough, the roles of hunter and prey had swapped again!

Under the gaze of those aged eyes, Chen Ling’s bound body floated up slowly, like a lamb nailed to a cross, unable to move a single inch...

“If you have the ability, kill me.” Chen Ling said in a deep voice.

“Kill you?” The Calamity of Thought seemed to have heard some joke. “Do you think I’m that stupid... you are the only weakness of Mockery. As long as you still occupy the dominance of this body, it cannot reappear in the world.”

The Calamity of Thought raised its hand slowly, and those dense characters floating in the air swarmed toward Chen Ling!

The brushstrokes of those characters were dismantled one by one, and then reorganized beside Chen Ling, turning into one “Prison” character after another. These characters adhered to the surface of Chen Ling’s body, gradually outlining the silhouette of a coffin!

“I won’t kill you...”

“I will let you, and the Mockery locked in your body, be sealed forever in these ruins!”

The Calamity of Thought’s words were cold and ferocious. Vast characters piled up layer by layer. Chen Ling, floating in the air, was gradually covered by a pitch-black character coffin, and tiny “Prison” characters climbed onto his pupils...

Chen Ling’s heart fell into an ice cellar.

“Damn it...”

……

Tian-Shu Domain.

The earth surged, and countless flesh-and-blood vines swept through the dense buildings. Large swaths of buildings were razed to the ground, and rolling dust mixed with successive wails rang through the sky.

A black-clad figure holding a long spear killed its way out of the flesh-and-blood vines, flying close to the ground like a meteor, crashing straight into the tide of calamities that were charging forward with unstoppable force.

BOOM—!!!

Hong-Xiu’s spear pierced through the skulls of three skeletal calamities in succession, directly exploding their bodies. Before she could turn around to charge and kill again, a skeletal rhinoceros radiating an Eighth-Order aura, like an unstoppable chariot, trampled the earth and crashed toward her!

DONG—!!

The long spear rubbed against the rhinoceros’s sharp horn, and even Hong-Xiu could not resist the terrifying force. Her body was sent flying hundreds of meters. Before she could steady herself, the second and third Eighth-Order calamities also turned their direction and surrounded the red-haired figure.

Hong-Xiu took a deep breath, and strands of killing intent began to gather toward her body. Under the effect of [Asura], her combat power began to soar rapidly!

She charged toward the three Eighth-Order calamities all by herself!

But no matter how good she was at fighting, there was only one Hong-Xiu in the Tian-Shu Domain. In this vast tide of calamities sweeping through the domain, one or two pillars of strength could not save the situation. The vast tide of calamities rushed past the blockade of Hong-Xiu, Lu Liang-Ren, and others, stepping into the chaotic domain city.

“No... there are too many of them, our defensive line can’t hold.”

Lu Liang-Ren waved his giant calligraphy brush, drawing deep gullies in front of the tide of calamities that were breaking through one after another, but this couldn’t stop the Sighing Wilderness for long. At this moment, several Eighth-Order calamities had already set their sights on him.

“Even if we can’t hold, we have to hold!” Hong-Xiu exploded the leg bone of an Eighth-Order calamity with a spear, saying with killing intent,

“The Tian-Shu Domain must absolutely not be breached!”

Lu Liang-Ren looked back toward the center of the domain, only to see that strands of flesh-and-blood vines had already burst out of the ground, wrapping around the surface of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, spreading upward bit by bit, as if they were going to turn the entire Heaven-Reaching Tower into nourishment for the Calamity of Turbidity.

Countless craftsmen of the Path of the Ingenious God were jumping off the top of the tower one after another. They carried various hang gliders or jetpacks, and some even had bamboo dragonflies installed on their heads... They drifted down from the sky, looking back at the direction of the Heaven-Reaching Tower from time to time, their faces deathly pale.

The Heaven-Reaching Tower carried the technological heritage of the previous era and was also the crystallization of civilization in this era;

The Heaven-Reaching Tower had always been regarded as the anchor of the Tian-Shu Domain and even all of humanity, and was the spiritual belief of countless people... And now, this tallest human building was being eaten away by the world-ending calamity bit by bit.

The city was collapsing in the dust, the calamities were hissing and charging, and coupled with this tottering Heaven-Reaching Tower, the scene before them was no different from the human apocalypse.

And at this moment, all the figures inside the Heaven-Reaching Tower were already following instructions, evacuating by air from the top of the tower.

“Protect Mr. Han! No matter what, Mr. Han must absolutely not have any accidents!”

Blinding red lights flashed at the top of the tower. One of the holders of the Heaven-Reaching Star Position, the assassin Cui Ran, was directing the craftsmen who were trembling with fear to evacuate. And behind him, several high-level combatants were guarding a figure sitting in a wheelchair—it was Mr. Han, the contemporary leader of the Path of the Medical God.

Perhaps because he had been opening his domain for a long time, Mr. Han’s face was deathly pale at this moment, as if he were about to faint at any moment, but he gritted his teeth and relied on his powerful spiritual will to stay awake and maintain the domain on the battlefield...

As long as his domain was still there, no one would truly die in battle. This was the reason why all the combat power was currently charging forward without fear of death... Once the domain failed, not only would thousands of combatants die completely, but the last courage of the Tian-Shu Domain would also be extracted. By then, the defeat would truly be set in stone.

“The Heaven-Reaching Tower is going to collapse!!” As the tower shook violently, someone shouted anxiously.

“You guys go quickly...”

A voice came from behind. Sovereign of Red Dust, Su Zhi-Wei, who had been closing her eyes and sensing something, finally opened her eyes at this moment, locking her gaze on a certain direction underground,

“Here, just leave me alone.”
