Chapter 1423: Arrival

A thunderous roar echoed from afar. Everyone froze, then simultaneously turned to look. On the edge of the South Sea Realm, vast clouds of dust billowed upwards. All the ruined walls and broken structures in that direction seemed to be crushed and pulverized, sending terrifying dust and sand flying into the air!

Even the Calamities of the Forbidden Sea, scattered throughout the South Sea Realm, and the two World-Eaters radiating terrifying auras, at this moment, seemed to sense something, abruptly turning their heads towards that direction…

A crack,No…It was an abyss piercing through the entire realm.

Thump—A dull roar echoed from deep within the abyss, like the furious pounding of the Earth's heart, or the thunderous beating of the abyss's war drums!

A colossal abyss, more than ten kilometers wide, ripped open from the edge of the horizon. The earth, at that moment, was like delicate paper, tearing completely apart as if gently ripped by colossal hands. Even the desiccated carcass of the giant turtle was split in two.

City walls? Buildings? Streets? Ruins? Everything built upon the earth was swallowed by the abyss's gaping maw. Hundreds of Calamities, originally standing in the path of the crack, had no time to escape. Their footing vanished, and they slid down between the halves of the broken giant turtle carcass, howling helplessly as they plunged into the abyss.

Among them were even three Eighth-Tier Calamities, their bodies as massive as mountains. Even though their forms were astonishingly large, compared to the vastness of the abyss, they were still as tiny as ants!

In a mere five seconds, the abyss ripped through the entire South Sea Realm, forming a chasm over twenty kilometers wide, splitting the entire realm in two!

This scene was like the end of the world.

As the abyss continued to spread, atop the ruined radio tower, Xiaobai's legs gave out, and he instinctively collapsed to his knees with a thud.

The aura from the Ghost Mocking Abyss now filled every corner of the South Sea Realm. Among it, a certain incredibly powerful aura made a faint glimmer appear once more in Xiaobai's eyes, which had long been shattered by despair.

Pain, injustice, rage…

His kneeling body trembled uncontrollably. All the emotions he had suppressed deep within his heart erupted at that moment, letting out a heart-wrenching roar!

He knew, the one who could avenge the Integration Faction had arrived.

The small figure, kneeling beside the bodies of Xiaotao and Teacher Ye, pressed his hands against the ground and repeatedly prostrated himself towards the abyss!

Like a subject, humble to the core, begging… begging the king he followed to unleash his wrath.

Thud—!"The Scarlet Overlord of the Ghost Mocking Abyss…""The Faceless King who Mocks Fate…"

He slammed his head against the ground once more, his forehead instantly gushing with blood!

Thud—!!Clenching his jaw, as if feeling no pain, he recited the king's name again, almost screaming, like an enraged and fanatical devotee!

"The Scarlet Overlord of the Ghost Mocking Abyss!""The Faceless King who Mocks Fate!!""—The Scarlet Overlord of the Ghost Mocking Abyss!!!""—The Faceless King who Mocks Fate!!!!"

Xiaobai's heart-rending voice echoed over the South Sea Realm, which had become a purgatory.

Thump—Thump—Thump—!As if in response to this desperate cry, the Earth's heart pounded wildly, and the abyss's war drums grew more rapid, thundering furiously like crashing lightning!

Just as everyone's minds reeled from the impact of the dull roars, a blood-soaked colossal shadow suddenly rose from beneath the abyss, then heavily crashed onto the ground nearby. The dust it kicked up made the clothes of those gathered near the carriage flap wildly.

Han Meng and the others shielded themselves from the fierce wind with one hand. Only when the dust settled somewhat could they finally make out the full form of the thing…

It was a corpse, the corpse of an Eighth-Tier Calamity from the Forbidden Sea.

Its body was as vast as a mountain, yet at that moment, it was being savagely torn apart by something even more terrifying, like a rag doll ripped to shreds by wild dogs, covered in shocking wounds… It was hard to imagine what kind of horrific torment such a formidable Eighth-Tier Calamity had endured in just a few seconds after falling into the abyss.

Before anyone could fully comprehend, another massive black shadow was tossed out of the abyss like trash…

It was another Eighth-Tier Calamity! Followed by a third, a fourth, and a fifth!

Any Calamity that had fallen into the abyss was now like chewed-up gum, spat out in dense masses from the realm-piercing chasm. From a distance, it looked like a downpour rising from the earth to the sky!

Everyone was stunned. The Calamities that had thrown the entire South Sea Realm into chaos had simply been reduced to mangled corpses. They didn't even know what had happened, but upon hearing the familiar names echoing from afar, shock appeared in their eyes!

Those corpses, raining down upon the earth, were a greeting gift from the Ghost Mocking Abyss… and a challenge, spat out carelessly after being thoroughly chewed by a certain World-Eater King.

"How is this possible…" The Blind Man was being supported, looking incredibly weak. But his empty eyes were fixed intently on the abyss. "He has an 'Oath Gu' on him; he shouldn't be able to appear here…"

Thump—!After that colossal "rain of corpses," a black shadow shot up from the bottom of the abyss and slammed down onto the ground at its edge! The moment it descended, the surrounding Calamities of the Forbidden Sea seemed overwhelmed by its formidable aura, instinctively retreating. The surging cold wind in the air was torn apart by the chilling essence from the abyss. A pair of crimson-glowing toad-like eyes pulsed in the void like burning flames!

"—Croak!!"A terrifying Eighth-Tier aura, mixed with the booming roars, spread outwards, directly flinging away all the Calamities that hadn't retreated in time. The moment it fully revealed its aura, the other Eighth-Tier Calamities of the Forbidden Sea suddenly faltered, as if directly suppressed.

Following closely, came a second colossal shadow, then a third, a fourth, and a fifth…

A ferocious giant scorpion with its tail stinger stained crimson;A massive gecko whose back glowed with a faint red light;A chilling venomous snake covered in scarlet scales;And a thousand-legged centipede, its entire body radiating a furnace-like red glow!

Five Eighth-Tier Calamity auras, powerful enough to overwhelm everything, stood before the abyss. Their overwhelming oppressive presence directly crushed the lower-tier Calamities closest to them. Even the two distant World-Eater Calamities were suddenly alarmed!

This legendary strongest World-Eater territory, after centuries of dormancy, finally slowly crawled out from beneath the abyss, revealing its chilling and terrifying fangs…

And behind these five colossal Calamity figures, like pillars stabilizing the sea, a figure clad in a red-and-black patterned opera robe slowly walked out from the swirling dust.
