Static—!
The world was like a broken, old television, constantly flickering between color and black-and-white. Space twisted erratically like disturbed static, and the sky appeared unnaturally flat and distorted, resembling a roughly hand-painted backdrop on a stage.
At that moment, the few survivors who were about to escape the South Sea Domain froze simultaneously.
“What is this…?” They stared blankly at the seemingly out-of-control world around them, having no idea what was happening, but the next moment, an overwhelming sense of oppression, as if capable of crushing the very earth, descended with a roar!
Boom—!!
Pu Shu, who had the lowest rank, felt as if he had been struck hard on the head with a hammer. His knees buckled, and he instantly fell to his knees on the ground, veins bulging from his neck!
“This aura…” Pu Shu felt his very core trembling with an unknown fear. He stared blankly at the domain behind him, shrouded in black-and-white, his mind a complete blank.
It was Pu Chunshu, standing nearby, who kindly braved the terrifying oppressive force and forcibly pulled him back to his feet.
“Chaozai has unleashed its power! If we don’t leave now, the aftershocks of the world-ending battle will shake us to death!”
“Is this… the might of Chaozai…?” The Pu family patriarch looked into the distance, his face pale. Only now did he truly realize the immense gap between an Eighth-Tier being and a King of World-Ending Destruction. Even though he was already so powerful, his aura still felt incredibly insignificant beneath this black-and-white world that enveloped the entire domain.
As Chaozai’s aura spread, the Ghostly Mockery Abyss Calamities within this domain were even more terrified than the Calamities of the Forbidden Sea. They trembled as they looked towards the direction from which overwhelming red paper emerged, their bodies involuntarily shaking…
The Great King had unleashed its true power, meaning it would once again fall into indiscriminate chaos, unable to distinguish friend from foe. No one knew what kind of madman the next Great King would be.
Perhaps, it would never be as gentle as the current Great King again?
A storm of red paper surged skyward from the ruins, as if to tear a hole through this intermittently black-and-white photographic world. The third, completely rampaging world-ending aura surged, and incredibly, forcibly suppressed the other two world-ending auras. Now, three destructive auras clashed wildly within the same ruined domain!
“Madman! It’s a true madman!!” Sizai, seeing this, couldn't help but curse loudly.
A pair of inky black hands reached out from the surging red paper storm, ghostly, gently gripping the sides of a rift. As the storm parted from the center, a dark, grotesque face was exposed to the air, two crescent-like, crimson, mocking eyes glowing.
The next second, its form vanished into thin air.
Sizai’s eyelid twitched slightly. Within the storm, Chen Ling’s thoughts instantly broke free from its lock. It unhesitatingly raised its hand and pointed towards the sky, a massive '卍' symbol rapidly extending from nothingness…
“Chaozai! Calm down—!”
Before its words were finished, directly above it, a red-backed, black-patterned opera robe fluttered silently, and a figure had already lifted its foot…
Then stomped down heavily!
Boom—!!!!
Red lightning tore through heaven and earth. A world-destroying force pierced directly through nothingness. As the world's black-and-white flickered wildly out of control, the '卍' symbol Sizai had just conjured shattered like fragile white paper under the force of the stomp!!
Sizai’s aged body plummeted like a meteor, crushed and slammed into the ground by the immense force from afar. The already scarred ruins were blasted with a hole dozens of kilometers deep by the impact of this single stomp, and swirling dust surged skyward, spreading to cover the entire domain…
The red-backed, black-patterned opera robe danced wildly in the wind. Its crimson eyes coldly overlooked Sizai, who had been kicked into the ground, its gaze seemingly saying:
You, dare to stand above me?
The crimson world-ending aura swept wildly through the black-and-white world, its terrifying grasp like the monstrous claws of a rampaging beast. After kicking Sizai down, the 'figure' directly raised its palm and grabbed at its surroundings!
Pop pop pop—
Within a five-kilometer radius, all the Calamities of the Forbidden Sea and the Ghostly Mockery Abyss Calamities simultaneously exploded!
Nearly a hundred Calamities died instantly, almost without realizing it. Hot, reeking blood and gore spread through the air. They didn't even feel pain, as their ethereal souls drifted out from the ruins…
As the 'figure' raised its hand once more, a vibrant red paper umbrella unfurled from its palm, like the most vivid flower blooming in the black-and-white photographic world, dazzling and beautiful.
It rested the red paper umbrella on its shoulder. With a slight turn of the umbrella’s edge, all the drifting souls nearby seemed to be pulled by some force, converging like a torrent towards the sole crimson hue in this black-and-white world!
The vortex of souls spun wildly, and a streak of crimson grew ever more radiant between heaven and earth!
As the red paper umbrella devoured the souls of nearly a hundred Calamities, the opera-robed figure gently raised its hand. The next second, the umbrella suddenly snapped shut and was thrown with full force like a meteor!!
The closed umbrella was like a crimson javelin piercing through the world. Its trajectory was invisible to the naked eye. In an instant, it tore a gaping, monstrous maw in space, stabbing directly towards the massive, distant Jizai, who resembled a dark mountain!
Boom—!!!!
The souls imprisoned within the large red paper umbrella seemed to have all transformed into fuel for Chaozai. The next second, a crimson pillar, dozens of kilometers in radius, erupted with a roar, directly enveloping Jizai’s enormous body!
Under this strike from the great red paper umbrella, the crimson pillar even melted a bizarre hole in the sky, the atmosphere vanishing without a trace. All extraterrestrial rays shone directly onto the ruined South Sea Domain, creating a zone of death where life was silently extinguished.
As the world-piercing crimson light pillar faded, an open red paper umbrella swayed in the wind, gently returning to the hand of the opera-robed figure.
Swirling dust rose from the ruins exposed to the extraterrestrial rays, and Jizai’s massive body gradually became visible…
Despite the impact of the great red paper umbrella, Jizai did not suffer any deep wounds. However, its sun-like lantern flickered continuously, as if furiously cursing Chaozai in the language of some deep-sea leviathan.
Its massive body slowly moved across the ravaged ground, gradually changing direction… Finally, it retreated directly back into the Forbidden Sea.
It wasn't that Jizai feared Chaozai. For Jizai, it had wasted so much time in the South Sea Domain, only for Sizai to fuse with a human demigod first. It had gained nothing so far, and had instead been savagely beaten by the enraged Chaozai…
But it was Sizai who infuriated Chaozai; what did that have to do with it?
It was pointless for it to continue wasting time with Chen Ling here. Only by finding the next human demigod before the return of the Red Star would it and the Calamities of the Forbidden Sea have a chance to survive.
As Jizai retreated from the confrontation, the many Calamities of the Forbidden Sea within the South Sea Domain also withdrew from the battlefield without hesitation. Fish and shrimp on the ground thrashed their bodies, burrowing into the seawater, retreating like a tide.
