Chapter 1852: Come, Witness Me

Just as Chen Ling was lost in thought, a heavy stone crossed an arc in the air and smashed heavily onto his head.

Snap—

The stone shattered on the spot, and Chen Ling’s head was unscathed.

He turned his head slowly and looked in that direction.

He saw a citizen filled with righteous indignation, whose legs went soft under his gaze, and he turned pale on the spot... But the public anger, which was becoming more and more intense, seemed to give him some confidence, and he cursed boldly:

"What are you looking at!"

Hum—!!

As other major prisons were attacked, those people who had seen the scene of Chen Ling’s execution thousands of miles away subconsciously linked their own attacks with Chen Ling, and the hostility toward Chen Ling expanded even more.

Through their word of mouth, more and more people held hostility toward Chen Ling, even splitting at an extremely exaggerated speed.

The wish power above the Imperial Seal surged again at an astonishing speed!!

Even when Ying Fu broke into the Gray Realm alone and suppressed many world-enders with the Imperial Seal, the wish power had not reached such a terrifying level... The "infamy" of Mockery Disaster Chen Ling and the Dusk Society among the people was simply too great, coupled with the fact that major prisons were attacked by disasters at this time...

At this moment, the number of people witnessing Chen Ling being suppressed through the Imperial Seal had exceeded ten million and was still soaring frantically.

"Major prisons attacked at the same time?"

Duke Zhao’s brow also furrowed tightly.

His gaze fell on Chen Ling below, and for some reason, a flash of unease crossed his heart...

"Forget it, suppress him completely, and then go to support other prisons."

Duke Zhao pressed his palm down with force. The Imperial Seal, which had already accumulated a massive amount of wish power, erupted with brilliant light again. One after another, golden streamers smashed into the earth, hitting Chen Ling, who was covered in blood.

Thud, thud, thud, thud—!!!

Bone nails pierced into Chen Ling’s body frantically, forcibly sealing his hands, feet, torso, and every segment of his bones.

Extreme pain filled Chen Ling’s mind, and blood flowed toward the surroundings, even dyeing half the street red, like a grand and bright red opera robe.

This bloody and visually shocking scene scared everyone into retreating. They were not afraid of Chen Ling, but the bone nails entering his body looked simply too painful, making people feel extremely physically uncomfortable.

"Chen Ling, what are you still hesitating for?" Thought Disaster’s voice sounded again.

It was a bit anxious now, seemingly worried that if this continued, Chen Ling would be completely suppressed, and even it and Mockery Disaster wouldn't be able to save Chen Ling.

If that happened, even if they could take down other prisons, the Red Dust Prison would probably be difficult to resolve.

The imperial power, gathering the hostility of ten million people, turned into a vortex in the air.

Rolling dust flew up.

In the pool of blood that spread across half the street, a figure, extremely disheveled, finally curled the corner of his mouth into a faint smile.

【Audience Expectation +9】

【Current Expectation: 61%】

Seeing Chen Ling actually smile at this time, alarm bells rang in Thought Disaster’s heart!

Thought Disaster was simply too sharp. Although it didn't know what Chen Ling relied on or what means he had prepared, it knew that some kind of ominous thing was about to happen...

Extremely cautious, it made a decision in one-thousandth of a second, immediately withdrawing its thoughts from Chen Ling’s body, and then turned to stay away from this Red Dust Prison.

Red Dust Prison, if it can't be destroyed, so be it. There will always be opportunities in the future!

But just as Thought Disaster was about to leave, a dense storm of thoughts surged directly from the void, forcibly knocking its storm body back!

Thought Disaster was shocked. It looked at this storm cage, which seemed to be prepared specifically for it, and its heart was full of disbelief!

A storm of thoughts, where did this storm of thoughts come from?

Wasn't Chen Ling already suppressed by the Imperial Seal?!

At this very moment, the Calamity of Thought finally seemed to realize something, its hollow pupils turning toward a certain direction on the outer wall...

A teacher, dressed in a simple shirt and wearing black-rimmed glasses, stood unhurriedly atop the ruins, watching this scene with a smile.

In the palm of his right hand, he held two syringes that had already been emptied.

Fusion Faction, Ye Mu.

That’s right, there was still one guy in this world who possessed a Thought Storm... It was a sleeper agent left behind by the Calamity of Thought back then. But at this moment, the Calamity of Thought couldn't for the life of it understand how this sleeper agent had suddenly broken free from its control, and why he was specifically lying in wait here for it.

Did he know all along that I would come?

"Since you're here, don't be in such a rush to leave..." Teacher Ye straightened his tie and spoke unhurriedly, "Mr. Chen, there is still a grand performance to be staged today."

The Calamity of Thought seemed to realize something, its hollow pupils immediately shifting toward the Red Dust Prison, to that street already stained red with blood!

A figure, pierced with bone nails and shackled in hand and foot irons, was actually rising slowly from the pool of blood like an evil spirit!!

This scene not only stunned the surrounding citizens but also sent a shock through the heart of Duke Zhao.

Is he a monster??

With every joint in his body locked by bone nails, he can still stand up?

Wouldn't his bones shatter? Wouldn't his muscles dissolve? Doesn't he feel pain???

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the blood-soaked figure in the theatrical robe lifted his head, looking at the Imperial Seal above that had gathered a massive amount of wish power, the smile at the corners of his mouth growing increasingly wild!

"Haha..."

"Hahahahahahahaha!!!"

"Finally..."

"You've taken the bait."

Duke Zhao’s pupils contracted slightly.

Chen Ling took a deep breath, his blood-covered body suddenly stepping forward, the sound of shattering bones echoing through the street!

But at the same time,

A winding, eerie Divine Path surged from beneath his feet toward the clouds!!

Boom—!!!!

The moment this twisted Divine Path appeared, a thunderous roar exploded in everyone's ears. They stared blankly at this Divine Path and the dark red Divine Path Star at its end, and for some reason, the hair on their bodies stood on end!

Is this a Divine Path Self-Verification? Since when does a Divine Path Self-Verification have this kind of aura?

No, that's not right...

A World-Ending Calamity, where would it get a Divine Path Self-Verification from???

The instant this twisted Divine Path spread from beneath Chen Ling's feet, the Imperial Seal suppressing him from above shuddered violently. All the power of confinement temporarily failed against Chen Ling, as if some far more powerful force in the dark had completely isolated Chen Ling from the world!

A red paper umbrella was silently opened by Chen Ling, and a vast sea of ghosts surged out from it like waves!

"You speak of... heaven and earth in harmony, witnessed by all living beings?"

"Ridiculous..."

"You think I am a scourge to the human world, unforgivable... why don't you ask if heaven and earth are in harmony with you?"

"Just because you say a word, it becomes truth, it becomes the will of heaven?"

Chen Ling's figure appeared before tens of millions of citizens across the major prison realms through the wish power of the Imperial Seal. At this moment, everyone stopped what they were doing, staring in bewilderment at the figure in the theatrical robe standing before the twisted Divine Path...

The blood-stained hem of his theatrical robe danced wildly in the wind. The actor, pointed at by thousands, had a look of contempt in his eyes.

"Today, I will let you see what the truth really is..."

"What, the will of heaven really is."

Chen Ling slowly lifted his foot, which had been pierced through by a bone nail... and then stepped heavily onto the first step!

In an instant, the heavens changed color, the wind and clouds churned, and a dark red Divine Path Star shone brilliantly above all living beings!

Chen Ling's voice, like a thunderclap, exploded in the ears of all living beings!

"Come!"

"Witness me."

Today's key plot point—I wrote a chapter and a half, but it felt like it lacked the right spark, so I deleted it all and rewrote it... I probably won't be able to update on time today. If things go smoothly, I might be able to update around midnight; if not, it might have to wait until tomorrow. o(╥﹏╥)o Sorry, sorry.
