Chapter 1418: The Outcast King, Returns in Fury

Chapter 1420: The Reclusive King Returns in Fury

Chen Ling's physical body was not here. He had merely entered Xiao Bai's consciousness through a thought storm, using his senses to witness the scene before him.

Through the shattered walls, countless Calamities of the Forbidden Sea could be seen savagely battling amidst the city ruins. Roars echoed ceaselessly, turning the entire Southern Sea Realm into a living hell.

But Chen Ling's attention was entirely focused on the two corpses.

Teacher Ye's shirt was stained black with congealed blood, his body stiff as stone, his eyes, still holding pain and unwillingness, refused to close in death. Xiao Tao's head was pierced by a bullet, lying askew in a pool of blood frozen solid with frost. Her fingernails, grown halfway like an animal's claws, had abruptly stopped growing.

Chen Ling's body trembled imperceptibly.

“Xiao Bai…” Chen Ling spoke, almost gnashing his teeth, “What… what exactly happened here?”

Crying, Xiao Bai recounted everything he had witnessed to Chen Ling. These words corroborated the ominous conjectures in Chen Ling's mind, and his fists clenched uncontrollably!

At the same time, during the Cataclysmic Conference, the last words Dis-Aster had spoken to him surged back into his mind:“Even without you… we will achieve final victory.”“And what’s more…”“We must also thank you… for your contributions to the Calamity.”

Boom—A dull peal of thunder rolled across the sky.

Dis-Aster had schemed against the Fusionists, the Southern Sea Realm, and Chu Changqing… Even Chen Ling himself had been drawn into its calculations.

Killing intent surged in Chen Ling's eyes. Unprecedented fury erupted like a volcano. Almost simultaneously, within the thought storm he could perceive, a colossal shadow, vast enough to obscure the entire realm, materialized above the Southern Sea Realm!

Chen Ling’s black performance robe flapped violently in the storm. He abruptly looked up at the sky.

A pair of hollow eyes within the storm stared directly in his direction. Faint, mocking laughter, laced with a hint of ostentation and complacency, seeped into Chen Ling’s ears.

The laughter seemed to say…How about it?Does this spectacle I've created resemble yours?

Having succeeded in its scheme, Dis-Aster no longer concealed its wild joy. It was like a child who had scored high on a test, wildly showing off its report card to Chen Ling, “Look, teacher, I’m almost catching up to you.”

“Dis————Aster————!!!”

Chen Ling's enraged roar echoed through the wind and snow. The aura of world-ending power surged wildly around him. The radiating pressure caused Xiao Bai, who was nearby, to immediately go weak at the knees and collapse to the ground with a thud, struggling even to breathe.

Chen Ling caught sight of this from the corner of his eye. He knew that merely arriving in consciousness, he was no match for Dis-Aster…

He forced himself to calm down, staring intently at Dis-Aster above the clouds, and spoke grimly:“I remember saying…”“What you schemed against me will not simply pass… One day, I will make you pay!”

Strands of jet-black hair drifted in the air, and large patches of strange facial skin peeled away from Chen Ling’s cheeks. Under an unprecedented surge of fury, the black face, already as thin as a cicada's wing, began to dissipate, revealing the flawless human countenance beneath, like unpolished jade.

The second personality, which had lingered within him since the last time he had slashed evil, was finally completely assimilated by Chen Ling. The instant the dual personalities merged into one, a loud bang erupted from within Chen Ling!

His black performance robe tore apart inch by inch. The original vermilion red re-emerged. Red and black intertwined at this moment, forming a new, majestic yet ferocious performance robe!

The black and red performance robe billowed and extended infinitely within the void. Chen Ling raised his hand, as if to crush the entire sky within his grasp…

“Dis-Aster…”“When I arrive in the Southern Sea… it will be your death.”

Chen Ling’s figure vanished into thin air.

The Mocking Ghost Abyss.

Upon his throne, a furious and surging aura of world-ending power erupted skyward, like a blazing sun!!

At this moment, all the Calamities within the Mocking Ghost Abyss were roused. They stared in astonishment towards the direction of the underground palace, their bodies prostrate in fear… They exchanged bewildered glances, seemingly unable to comprehend who had angered their King to such an extent.

Bang——!!

A world-ending figure, clad in the red and black performance robe, burst directly through the palace and stood in mid-air, hovering above the entire Mocking Ghost Abyss!

“Where are the Five Poisons?!?”

These four words exploded like thunder. The next second, five terrifying Rank 8 Calamity auras erupted simultaneously!

A colossal rock clinging to the cliff wall trembled slightly. Rustling dust shook off it, revealing the outline of a ferocious gecko;

A venomous snake from the depths of a slumbering cave slowly raised its head. Its red forked tongue flickered silently, like a life-taking crimson spirit. Its winding body slithered rapidly outwards like lightning;

The dormant soil surged violently. A scorpion's tail, glinting with grim cold light, broke through the earth. A swift black shadow let out a piercing shriek;

A toad in the mud unleashed a thunderous roar. Its colossal body shot skyward like a cannonball, unstoppable;

Directly in front of the underground palace, a giant red and black centipede climbed into the air, approaching the enraged king's silhouette in the sky without hesitation, like a soaring dragon…

Five colossal figures, emanating terrifying oppressive power, encircled Chen Ling. A strange and grim aura of calamity erupted from the depths of the Gray Realm. This sixth great world-ending territory, silent for hundreds of years, finally bared its fangs at this moment!

As the Five Venomous Leaders gathered, the Calamities of the Mocking Ghost Abyss seemed to realize something as well, excitement glinting in their eyes!

Had their King finally seen the light?! Could they finally leave this abyss and unleash their full power?!

These Calamities had lain dormant in the Mocking Ghost Abyss for too long; most of them had never left the place in their entire lives. They spent their days mired in the toxic, perpetual gloom underground, drunkenly fighting and killing, never knowing if they would be slain by their own kind the next day…

The battle-hungry creatures had grown weary of endless infighting. Now they would have the chance to break out of the Mocking Ghost Abyss—something more exhilarating and intoxicating than even the purest Five Poison wine!!

Hisses echoed from all corners of the Mocking Ghost Abyss. The battle intent of the entire world-ending territory had already pierced the clouds!

Above the void, the red and black performance robe billowed silently, like a majestic royal robe.

Chen Ling's gaze swept over the already seething Mocking Ghost Abyss. He slowly and coldly uttered four words:“Follow me… to war.”

On this day, the earth trembled, and the insect hives shattered.

The black abyss extended from the depths of the Gray Realm, like an unstoppable wave of darkness, tearing through every inch of the Gray Realm's land, and surging powerfully towards the Southern Sea Realm!

Almost simultaneously, a familiar divine path extended from beneath Chen Ling's feet. Upon the steps of his ascent to Rank 7, a line of small characters slowly appeared!

The Reclusive King shall return in fury.
