Chapter 1325: The King of the Formless

Chapter 1325: The Formless King

The next second, Chen Ling's figure vanished into thin air.Over three hundred sharp long spears passed through the black afterimage he left behind, colliding with each other and emitting a sharp hum.When the dark figure reappeared, he had already moved several hundred meters away. However, before he could steady himself, six hundred more centipede-like limbs surrounded him, clinging like maggots to bone, making escape difficult.

A crimson glint flared in the dark figure's eyes. He stomped fiercely on the ground, and the immense force shattered the rocky surface. Large chunks of debris were jolted upwards, colliding with the centipede limbs.Amidst the flying debris, Chen Ling's dark figure flashed repeatedly.The short dagger in his hand danced like a butterfly, deflecting all centipede limbs that approached him. Dazzling sparks flew wildly in the dust, and from a distance, it looked as if hundreds of Chen Lings were striking simultaneously amidst a flurry of blades.

"Alright!!" the dark figure exclaimed. "Since you're all pushing me! Then I'll give you what you want!""Aren't you afraid of the Disaster of Mockery? Aren't you wary of it?! Then I'll just... become your nightmare..."

The dark figure suddenly burst into laughter, then wildly threw away the short dagger in his hand. He spread his arms, allowing the sharp limbs of the Centipede Overlord to pierce his body, instantly turning him into a porcupine.But at the same time, his body began to expand rapidly!His shadow continuously permeated and expanded into space. His initially human-sized body transformed within seconds into a hundreds-of-meters-tall dark giant, not only surpassing the Centipede Overlord's size but even exceeding the massive Toad, the largest of the Five Poisons.His body continued to grow.It wasn't until the venomous insects at the bottom of the abyss struggled to see the giant's head when looking up that the enormous body slowly stopped. If one were standing on the surface at this moment, Chen Ling's head would have already pierced through the clouds, reaching a height where he could effortlessly grab modern airplanes.He resembled a colossal deity from the endless darkness of the abyss. His sky-obscuring black theatrical robe still silently fluttered. As he slowly raised his hand, a dark palm, like that of the Buddha enveloping the Great Sage, rapidly descended, pressing down towards the bottom of the abyss!

The small venomous insects that had been watching the battle were immediately startled and scattered wildly in all directions.The Centipede Overlord felt the pressure descending from above, knowing there was no escape. It shrieked again, using all its strength to climb towards the sky, charging directly towards the massive hand!

Boom—!!As the centipede, only the size of Chen Ling's giant thumb, collided heavily with his palm, a world-sweeping storm erupted, immediately shaking dense cracks into the surrounding cliffs. The small venomous insects hiding within were instantly jolted, spitting out venomous blood, fainting on the spot, and lying stiff like dried cordyceps.The Centipede Overlord's body slightly curled, struggling with all its might against Chen Ling. Just then, the giant hand it was desperately trying to hold back suddenly opened a gaping, monstrous mouth and bit off half of the centipede's body!

The Centipede Overlord had no idea such a monstrous mouth could appear there and immediately struggled in terror. But the mouth chewed like a shark, showing no intention of letting go, brutally tearing off a large piece of its body!Excruciating pain flooded the Centipede Overlord's mind. Compared to the dark giant, it squirmed like a maggot. But the next moment, the giant's other hand abruptly seized the centipede's severed end and slowly lifted it into the sky...

The bottom of the abyss rapidly receded beneath the centipede.Above the dark giant's head, an even more grotesque and enormous mouth slowly opened...Was he going to devour it alive?!!!

The abyssal maw rapidly grew larger before the Centipede Overlord's eyes. It thrashed wildly in terror, but with only half its body remaining, its strength was severely weakened, making it impossible to break free from the giant's grasp.It could only watch as the enormous mouth drew closer and closer...Then, it bit down!

The Centipede Overlord felt an intense pain surge from its head. Under the sharp teeth, half of its head was instantly severed. Potent venom, like blood, sprayed out, pouring directly into the dark giant's mouth.Just as the Centipede Overlord despaired, awaiting death, the giant's throat suddenly convulsed in a dry heave, and the enormous mouth that had clamped onto its head instantly released its grip!

The fragmented body of the Centipede Overlord fell straight down from the air.At this moment, the dark giant suddenly clutched its own head with both hands, like a drunkard finally regaining sobriety after a hangover. After violently shaking its head a couple of times, its form rapidly shrank...The sky-obscuring darkness receded like a tide. Within mere seconds, the giant returned to its normal human size.

He stumbled, barely propping himself up with one hand on the ground, then began to vomit violently!Ugh—!!!The Five Poisons Wine, mixed with stomach acid, poured onto the ground beneath him. His crimson eyes gradually cleared, and the black theatrical robe began to regain its vermilion hue.Chen Ling had sobered up.

Damn it...My head aches so much!!Chen Ling felt as if his head was splitting open, and everything before him seemed to double. He vaguely lifted his head and saw the Centipede Overlord, now only half a body, writhing miserably on the ground in agony.

"What is this..." Chen Ling said, enduring his headache, as he tried to recall everything that happened after he got drunk.At the same time, a massive shadow landed with a thud in front of him.

The Toad stood with its back to the newly sobered Chen Ling, coldly facing the struggling Centipede Overlord and letting out a low croak."Centipede, you lost!"Everyone in the Ghost Mockery Abyss had witnessed the exchange between the two. Even with the Centipede Overlord's initial sneak attack, it couldn't gain the upper hand; instead, the drunken King nearly bit off its head directly.This battle also stunned the observing venomous insects. If the King, while completely intoxicated, could effortlessly subdue the Centipede Overlord, how powerful would he be if he fought with his full, sober strength?

The Scorpion, observing from the side, looked at Chen Ling differently; long-forgotten apprehension and fear resurfaced in its mind. After a brief hesitation, it also approached the Toad and spoke coldly to the now defeated Centipede:"Even if you had an agreed time with the King, you shouldn't have launched a sneak attack, Centipede. You deserved this!"The Centipede Overlord, with its nearly severed head drooping, painfully curled on the ground. Its blurry gaze fell upon the large red theatrical robe slowly rising behind the two Overlords, and a wave of despair washed over it.It knew its reign was over.

"Your fate will be decided by the King," the Toad said, slowly turning to face the swaying Chen Ling behind it.Chen Ling coolly regarded the Centipede Overlord before him, having roughly understood what had transpired. Just as he was about to speak, a figure appeared beside him, emitting a low hiss!

Chen Ling paused, looking at Wu Yi beside him with some surprise."Oh?" he uttered."Wu Yi, are you sure you want to do this?"
