Chapter 1710: The Trump Card

Bang—!!

Half of Chen Ling's body exploded, endless red paper surging in the air. He squeezed his potential once more, activating the power of negation!

An invisible domain ignored spatial constraints and shrouded the entire battlefield!

[Card]!!

Threads of blood flowed from Chen Ling's seven orifices. He scanned the script, but saw no text... there, only lines of mysterious formulas resembling code.

Chen Ling was stunned.

Then, as if realizing something, his pupils contracted slightly.

He turned his head sharply to look upward, and a roar of extreme fury echoed through the heavens!

"WU—TONG—YUAN!!!!"

This world was not real at all; it was "deduced" by countless formulas...

All the light, air, wind, seawater, gravity, and even the heartbeats and blood flow of "Jian Changsheng" and the others were all constructed by mathematical formulas... Because the underlying "code" perfectly matched the real world, it was no exaggeration to say this was a parallel world created through deduction.

Even Chen Ling, had he not activated [Card] to pull up the world's script, would likely not have discovered any clues.

This...

Was this the Akashic Tower?

Chen Ling realized that even with his cognitive abilities, he couldn't fully understand the function of this tower. But regardless, Chen Ling was extremely worried about the final fate of Jian Changsheng and Jiang Xiaohua...

After all, their ghosts really hadn't returned.

"Is what's happening here real, or fake?!" Chen Ling roared at the surging sea. "Wu Tongyuan!! Get out here!!!"

Lord Lingxu's figure did not appear.

But the armored, sword-wielding figure had already charged in front of the Calamity of Taboo regardless of everything!

Under extreme anger, Jian Changsheng's killing intent had erupted to the limit. The black armor trembled violently, and the fluttering black ribbons blotted out the sky... Above the killing intent ring behind him, even a silhouette of Bai Qi was outlined!

Ancient killing intent crazily bolstered Jian Changsheng. The anger and murderous intent in his eyes were so real that even Chen Ling doubted once again if this was the real world...

Was what happened here the same as in the real world?

If Jian Changsheng really died here...

Would the one outside die too?

Chen Ling didn't know. At this moment, he had no other choice. He frantically expanded his domain again, forcibly covering every corner of this sea area with the power of negation.

Since he didn't know, he would negate it all. Jian Changsheng wouldn't die, and neither would Jiang Xiaohua or the Gray King. As long as this world ceased to exist, Lord Lingxu would naturally appear!

"[Card]—!!!"

Chen Ling's gaze fell upon the tens of thousands of formulas. He raised his hand, constantly negating the content on them.

As each line of formula was negated, the world before him changed accordingly... Jian Changsheng, who was charging at the Calamity, suddenly seemed to lose the restraint of gravity and flew backward toward the sky!

The sea began to flow backward into the sky, Jiang Xiaohua, who had been bitten into a bloody mist, reappeared, and giant atmospheric holes spread from the gray clouds. The temperature here began to soar rapidly, reaching eighty degrees within seconds...

As Chen Ling continued to negate, the rules of this world seemed to be riddled with holes, and all order was forcibly twisted into chaos!

The resurrected Jiang Xiaohua punched the lantern of the Calamity, striking a hideous crack into it;

"Well done! Xiaohua!" Jian Changsheng seemed to have completely forgotten that Jiang Xiaohua had already died. Seeing this, his eyes erupted with brilliance, and he wielded his sword through the backward-flowing seawater, slashing at the head of the Calamity!

Even the Gray King climbed back up from the sea surface, waving a large hand, and moonlight reappeared in the sky.

Everything, under Chen Ling's interference, was like a world-line heading toward another possibility due to a BUG. It was just that after the appearance of massive rule loopholes, this world itself was already crumbling.

Endless red and black, like a virus devouring everything, slowly gnawed at the sky. And in the center, a red-paper figure with only half a body left, like an eerie demon dominating the world, stirred the entire world into pieces with every gesture!

Chen Ling's eyes scanned the surroundings. Through the cracks left by the world's collapse, he could see galaxy-like light flowing outside...

He was indeed still inside the Akashic Tower!

With another negation from Chen Ling, the sky was torn open with a hideous gap. Through the constantly changing light, he could vaguely see a figure in a blood-stained monk's robe standing in a corner of the tower, looking down at this place...

Murderous intent flashed in Chen Ling's eyes, and his figure [Wall-Broken] into a blur, appearing in front of Lord Lingxu!!

"This tower is indeed very powerful..."

"But you..."

"Should also close your eyes for the last time."

Lord Lingxu didn't seem to expect that Chen Ling had already discovered him and prepared to activate a formula at the first moment. But the next second, a small round stone was thrown hard by Chen Ling!!

The moment this stone was thrown, a strange power like a revived wildfire burned from within Lord Lingxu's body again. In his stunned gaze, the speck of white ash on his nose spread crazily, and in an instant, it covered him again in his complete form!

That was the last bit of power the Clown had left in Lord Lingxu's body...

And the trump card he had left for his little junior brother!

The Clown's power once again sealed Lord Lingxu's abilities at this moment, even causing the operation of the entire Akashic Tower to stagnate. The flowing galaxy lost its light, and the entire tower plunged into pitch-black dead silence.

The power within his body gave no response, oppressive darkness shrouded the surroundings, and Lord Lingxu's body stiffened at this moment...

Until a scarlet palm pierced through his chest!

Pfft—!!!

Black blood containing poison splashed onto the floor of the tower.

Black and red auras flowed in the darkness. Behind Lord Lingxu, a pair of ruby-like eyes slowly opened...

A large hole had appeared in Lord Lingxu's chest.

His heart was gone, along with the previous blade wounds and embroidery needles, tearing most of his upper body apart. Blood spread incessantly beneath him, and his legs went weak, causing him to collapse to his knees with a thud.

His head slowly drooped... and he fell into dead silence.

Chen Ling breathed heavily. This last strike was the limit of the speed he could burst out now... He looked down at his palm, where a heart was slowly stopping its beat.

Seeing this, Chen Ling's tense heart finally relaxed.

Just then,

A deep blue halo, like a galaxy, silently bloomed from beneath Lord Lingxu's kneeling body!!
