Chapter 1562: Opening the Door and Escaping

Even at such a critical juncture, Chen Ling's voice remained calm. For some reason, hearing his voice, Tian Xiaochen's heart, which had already lost its composure, immediately settled down.

He immediately clenched his fists and knocked heavily on the surface of the gate!

Thud—!!

A faint and dull sound echoed outside the Eternal Palace... like a call of fate, weak yet determined.

……

Inside the Eternal Palace.

Chen Ling, who was resting with his eyes closed on a luxurious sofa, opened his eyes instantly.

Although the outside world was in total chaos, the interior of the Eternal Palace remained as quiet as it had been since time immemorial. Chen Ling's ruby-like eyes seemed to have captured something, sweeping across a direction in the void in an instant... as if a shooting star had streaked across the sky in a place he couldn't see.

"As expected..."

"The position of the door changes in real-time."

Chen Ling muttered to himself.

Since Lord Wuji dared to lock Chen Ling here, he must have had something to rely on. Although the Eternal Palace looked like an ordinary building from the outside, standing motionless on the ground, in reality, its interior was changing every moment. Countless materials and substances were reacting here, like a Rubik's Cube spinning at super speed.

If Chen Ling wanted to leave, he first had to determine the direction of the "door." Although Tian Xiaochen's knocking just now was slight, Chen Ling could still keenly capture that trace of sound fluctuation, moving from his southeast to his southwest...

Chen Ling closed his eyes and spoke again:

"Keep knocking, don't stop!"

Outside the Eternal Palace, Tian Xiaochen looked back nervously at the knights who had already rushed up more than half of the steps, and then used all his strength to continue knocking on the gate frantically!

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud—

The faint knocking sound swirled continuously inside the Eternal Palace. The movement trajectory of the door was constantly outlined in Chen Ling's mind. He stood quietly on the spot, motionless like a statue.

The continuous sound of armor colliding approached behind Tian Xiaochen, accompanied by bursts of scolding and cursing. His heart was in his throat...

He didn't dare to look back, but he could hear that those figures were getting closer and closer to him.

Ten steps...

Seven steps...

Five steps!

Veins bulged from Tian Xiaochen's neck. His fists, already red and bleeding, smashed once again onto the heavy gate!

Thud—!!

Chen Ling moved.

Before the last knock sounded.

In his mind, the movement trajectory of the "door" seemed to have been completely outlined, and he had perfectly predicted its position in the next second.

The world-destroying aura of the Mockery Calamity erupted, and his entire body seemed to transform into a red lightning bolt, instantly moving to the wall in that direction...

And then he punched it!!

Blinding and dense electric light burst from his hand. A large hole melted directly into the wall at that position, revealing the layers upon layers of material rock strata behind it that seemed endless. But as these materials touched Chen Ling's hand, they were broken through without exception... as if they were originally part of this power.

This was a skill that originally belonged to Lord Wuji... [Material Reshaping and Material Ultimate Strength].

Chen Ling possessed a small portion of Lord Wuji's material authority, but from beginning to end, he had not easily revealed it, instead hiding this trump card silently... What he was waiting for was this most suitable moment!

The power of reshaping easily broke a path inside the Eternal Palace. Almost simultaneously, a magnificent gate flew in front of Chen Ling according to the trajectory!

The next second,

Chen Ling's hands pressed onto it!

……

"You kid, are you really that tired of living?"

The knight's voice came from behind the exhausted Tian Xiaochen, carrying a trace of anger.

Up until now, these knights had only treated Tian Xiaochen's actions as a child's prank. They had already decided that they would throw this child into the dungeon in a moment and deal with him after Lord Wuji returned.

Just as their cold armored fingertips were about to touch Tian Xiaochen,

a low creaking sound echoed from ahead.

Hum—!!

Scorching airflow surged out from the gradually opening door crack. Under the astonished gazes of the many knights, that heavy gate, which had always been tightly closed, was actually slowly opened from inside the Eternal Palace...

In the dimness, a figure in theatrical robes with a red background and black patterns walked out like a ghost.

The vermilion earrings swayed silently, and those ruby-like eyes were cold and dangerous in the dimness, like a trapped beast that had escaped its cage, radiating suffocating pressure from head to toe!

Seeing this scene, Tian Xiaochen, whose heart had already turned to ash, saw his eyes brighten visibly!!

"Lord Chen Ling..." he muttered to himself.

Chen Ling's gaze fell on the many knights who were stunned on the steps.

They seemed unable to understand at all how a child knocking on the door a few times could release this monster that even Lord Wuji was somewhat wary of??

The theatrical robes with red background and black patterns stood behind Tian Xiaochen. That terrifying and dangerous aura caused all the figures about to touch Tian Xiaochen to freeze on the spot... And as a slight cold snort sounded, the world-destroying pressure surged!

Those bewildered knights only felt that those red-tinted eyes were about to swallow their souls, and a chill surged directly from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads. At the same time, invisible mountains pressed directly onto their shoulders, causing everyone's legs to go soft, and they fell to their knees with a thud!

On the entire street, only Chen Ling and Tian Xiaochen remained standing on the steps, the theatrical robes fluttering in the wind.

Chen Ling raised his hand and patted Tian Xiaochen on the head:

"You did well... kid."

His voice was incredibly gentle.

Tian Xiaochen looked at him blankly. At this moment, he no longer seemed like the world-destroying monster that terrified everyone, but like a neighborly big brother wearing theatrical robes.

Almost at the same time Chen Ling opened the Eternal Palace.

On the ground battlefield below the Eternal Realm, Lord Wuji, who was manipulating a constant stream of matter to fight the Annihilation Angel, seemed to sense something and looked up abruptly!

"He actually escaped?" Lord Wuji frowned tightly. "How is this possible... How did he do it?"

It was this brief pause that allowed a surging dragon of scorching fire to fly right past his figure. Under the biting of the air compressed to the extreme, half of Lord Wuji's body turned directly into fly ash!

Six massive wings spread out in the distance, and Shen Qingzhu also looked at the Eternal Realm above... He smelled a familiar aura that had reappeared.

The corners of Shen Qingzhu's mouth curled up slightly, and he continued to look at Lord Wuji before him leisurely:

"It seems... even without me, you couldn't keep him locked up."
