Chapter 1691: Internal and External Attack

Liu Qingyan’s pupils contracted slightly.

She scanned the place where her master had just exploded, and the corpses of the Twilight Society members lying in disarray under the Calamity of Taboo’s slaughter. Gritting her teeth, the pain and helplessness in her eyes were instantly replaced by determination!

Cannot be sad, cannot be sentimental, cannot be indecisive!

Bai Ye was right. Everyone here could die, but she held the [Origin], and she had to personally go to the next world... She had to personally gather the members who died in this era and rebuild the Twilight Society in the new world!

"Then we... will see each other in the next world."

Liu Qingyan spoke softly. She took one last look at everyone fighting to the death in the wind and snow, then gritted her teeth and rushed out of the ice field!

When Liu Qingyan turned and left, Bai Ye looked back at the battlefield. In this gray-black, bizarre world, even he could not predict the appearance of the Calamity of Taboo in advance... If he hadn't happened to be near Liu Qingyan just now and stolen her away in time, I’m afraid everything would have been for naught.

Bai Ye took a deep breath and shouted loudly:

"All Twilight Society members below Tier 8! Swallow the poison immediately!!"

"Do not hold onto any侥幸 (wishful thinking), do not hesitate. You have done everything you could. We... will meet again in the next world!"

"Members below Tier 8... swallow the poison immediately!!"

The moment Bai Ye’s voice rang out, those members who were still terrified and guarding against which direction the Calamity of Taboo would attack from were stunned simultaneously...

Then, they bit down on the poison between their teeth without hesitation!

Heart 7, Club 10, Spade 10, Heart 10... and most of the J and Q cards, one figure after another fell from the gray-black world, like a rain of death.

The massive body of the Calamity of Taboo wandered through this world like a ghost, but the enemies around it were rapidly dwindling, from dozens of people to a mere seven.

"Do you really think I can't find you?"

In the gray-black world, Sun Bumian, burning with seven-colored flames, was like the most conspicuous sun. He stood above the void, counting his fingers and calculating the position of the Calamity of Taboo frantically.

Then, a brilliance flashed in his ringed pupils, and seven-colored flames erupted from his body. He seemed to transform into a heaven-supporting divine lion, roaring and pouncing toward a certain void!

Almost at the same time he moved, the ghost-like body of the Calamity of Taboo appeared out of thin air from the void!

Boom—!!!

The waking lion and the black fish collided on the ice field. Seven-colored flames and bizarre curse marks intertwined in the void, the surging aura seemingly shaking this world until it was on the verge of collapse...

However, even though Sun Bumian released his waking lion true form, compared to the massive body of the Calamity of Taboo, it was still too small. One must know that the latter was the largest creature in the two realms, capable of swallowing an ancient treasure whole. Even though it was intercepted by Sun Bumian, its mountain-like body was only shaken for a moment.

Sun Bumian could not suppress the Calamity of Taboo, and the Calamity of Taboo only had to flick its fish tail to shake the ice field, causing the surging black sea to rise in a tsunami, seemingly about to swallow the waking lion on its body completely.

In the vast majority of cases, there is no suspense in a contest of strength between a Demigod and a world-ender.

Meanwhile,

inside the Calamity of Taboo’s belly.

A pair of bloodshot eyes snapped open!

Highly corrosive gastric acid mixed with a large amount of bizarre liquid was enough to make any creature wrapped within it die instantly, but Heart 9 was an exception...

Having been modified throughout his body, he had long since transcended the category of humans. Under the erosion of the gastric acid, the skin of his entire body had rotted away, revealing the metal skeleton and weapon structures beneath. He struggled constantly in the vortex of gastric acid, trying to escape, but without the ability to spray fire from his feet for assistance, he couldn't do it at all.

Just then, a palm suddenly grabbed his body and pulled him out of the gastric acid!

"Pfft—"

Heart 9 felt like he was standing on something hard. Before he could see his surroundings clearly, he spat out a large amount of gastric acid and bizarre liquid, looking extremely disheveled.

He took a long while to recover before looking back, only to see Zhao Yi, whose body was covered in curse marks, looking at him in surprise.

"Truly unexpected... I didn't expect that besides me, someone else could get in."

"You... cough cough cough... you also came in on purpose?" Heart 9 was somewhat surprised.

"Yes."

Zhao Yi looked up at the gully-filled stomach wall of the Calamity of Taboo, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Trying to kill the Calamity of Taboo from the outside is truly too difficult... I have biological samples of the Forbidden Sea in my body, and I can reverse them at any time to give it a taste of its own medicine."

"What a coincidence." Heart 9 chuckled and patted his own stomach. "I also have something that will be enough to give it a hard time."

Heart 9 suddenly seemed to remember something.

"By the way, is the Witch Path ancient treasure here too?"

"Yes, we are standing on top of it." Zhao Yi pointed beneath him. "However, the ancient treasure as a whole is wrapped in the Calamity of Taboo’s gastric acid, and a large part of the area should be embedded in the stomach wall... I’ve already tried; unless you rip the Calamity of Taboo open, you can't get in."

Heart 9 felt somewhat regretful. He had been thinking that since he had finally managed to sneak in, he might have had a chance to snatch a fragment of the Witch Path foundation.

"Then, who goes first?"

"You go first. Mine is a bit 'dirty' and might affect you." Heart 9 shrugged.

Zhao Yi did not refuse. He walked straight to the stomach wall of the Calamity of Taboo and placed both hands slowly on the surface of the squirming flesh... He took a deep breath, and a sense of death appeared in his eyes.

The next second, the Forbidden Sea calamity cells all over his body seemed to be forcibly reversed. The previously vigorously growing gene chains began to collapse from a biological perspective. His arms merged into the stomach wall flesh bit by bit, then his shoulders...

For a living being, chaotic and disordered gene chains are a lethal poison. At this moment, Zhao Yi was like a super-tumor growing in the stomach of the Calamity of Taboo, assimilating with it bit by bit... The part of his genes that belonged to humans caused the Calamity of Taboo to reject him frantically!

On the ice field, the Calamity of Taboo, which had just slapped the waking lion away with its tail, suddenly let out a painful wail. Its massive body twisted frantically, and its wildly swinging tail smashed the ice field into pieces.

Sun Bumian saw this, and although he didn't know what had happened, he immediately adjusted his posture and pounced toward the Calamity of Taboo again!

This time, the Calamity of Taboo’s resistance was much weaker. The claws burning with seven-colored flames tore frantically at the flesh on the Calamity of Taboo’s back, and the auspicious aura poured into the Calamity of Taboo’s wounds, as if sprinkling salt into them. The extreme pain both inside and outside the body tortured the Calamity of Taboo into painful shrieks.

"Attack together!!"

Ning Ruyu and the others saw the opportunity and rushed out with great tacit understanding, surrounding the body of the Calamity of Taboo and slashing countless hideous wounds onto its surface!
