Chapter 1296: Truce

Truce

Half of the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle's body had climbed onto the land.

But the furious Calamity of Taboo in the sea, along with the countless Forbidden Sea Calamities, did not intend to let it leave just like that...

Boom——!!!

An earth-shattering wave swept up from the depths of the ocean, directly following behind the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle and slapping onto the land. The churning seawater unexpectedly directly shattered that stretch of coastline, re-enclosing the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle into the scope of the ocean like a rising tide.

The Forbidden Sea could swallow the Aurora Domain, and could cover so much of the Gray World land. Naturally, it could also submerge the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle on the shore...

That they lived on the seabed didn't mean they couldn't reach the land.

"Damn it... why are they in hot pursuit??"

On the turtle's back, seeing this, Pu Guizong, the Ancestor of the Pu Family, looked incredibly awful.

The churning waves continued to pour into the South Sea Domain incessantly along the cracks in the turtle shell, with a large number of Forbidden Sea Calamities mixed in; the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle's hind legs were still entangled by the Calamity of Taboo, rendering it Unable to Move; the surrounding seawater was still continuously freezing into icebergs, blocking the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle's path forward...

Everything remained completely unchanged.

Pu Guizong didn't know how long he could still tangle with the Calamity of Taboo, nor did he know whether Chu Changqing still had hidden cards up his sleeve. But there was no doubt that the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle carrying the South Sea Domain had almost reached its limit.

If the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle died here, the South Sea Domain would be unable to move, and what awaited them would be a hopeless situation of certain death!

"...Hm?"

Pu Guizong seemed to have sensed something and turned to look behind.

Since who knows when, a large batch of entirely scarlet, oversized centipedes were crawling rapidly towards the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle's shell!

Pu Guizong was startled:

"Why are there Calamities from the Ghost Mockery Abyss too?!"

One Forbidden Sea had already pushed the South Sea Domain to the brink of collapse. If another Ghost Mockery Abyss came, they would definitely die without a doubt!

But strangely, these centipedes did not attack the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle. They just continued crawling along its four limbs. Meanwhile, beneath the deep sea, the Calamity of Taboo launched another attack!

Countless hideous giant shadows burst out from under the sea surface, as if wanting to directly smash the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle's body to pieces.

Seeing this, Pu Guizong gritted his teeth and was just about to forcibly block it again when a sharp hiss sounded from behind!

Pu Guizong turned to look, only to see an unusually thick scarlet centipede bearing its fangs and baring its teeth in the direction of the Calamity of Taboo, as if issuing some sort of warning...

Those sky-blotting giant tentacle shadows immediately halted in midair.

Wu Yi was very strong, even capable of fighting an Eighth-Tier Calamity. But in front of the Calamity of Taboo, it was just a slightly larger ant... It was impossible for the Calamity of Taboo to fear Wu Yi. The reason it stopped its actions was because it dreaded the one behind Wu Yi.

Wu Yi was here to welcome the king of the Ghost Mockery Abyss. If it attacked Wu Yi now, it would be equivalent to declaring war on the Calamity of Mockery.

Undoubtedly, the Calamity of Taboo absolutely did not want to provoke that guy.

The Calamity of Taboo halted its actions, and those Forbidden Sea Calamities that had originally climbed onto the back of the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle also sensibly made way for the centipede legion... They only surrounded the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle but didn't make a move. It seemed they had made up their minds to let the centipede legion escort the Calamity of Mockery out first before launching an attack.

Seeing this scene, astonishment surfaced in Pu Guizong's eyes.

He never expected that Chen Ling's mere "Wu Yi" could make the entire Forbidden Sea stay their hands...

And the South Sea Domain, along with its millions of people, also gained a precious opportunity to catch their breath because of these two words from Chen Ling...

The decline faced by all humanity in this era stagnated at this moment.

And the root cause of all this was Chen Ling, who had been forced out of the Human Domains.

In this instant, a thought suddenly arose in Pu Guizong's mind... Was forcing Chen Ling away really a correct decision?

But soon, he curbed the extension of this thought. In the end, the Calamity of Taboo staying its hand was to give face to the Calamity of Mockery, and the Calamity of Mockery itself was an extremely unstable existence. If they staked the future of humanity on such a dangerous existence, that would be truly wrong.

...

On the street, Chen Ling slowly raised his head.

He saw a massive number of Shadow Centipedes swarming in through that crack in the turtle shell. Every single one was hideous and terrifying, and their numbers were even more terrifying... The moment they appeared, the entire population of the South Sea Domain let out terrified screams!

Although there were also Forbidden Sea Calamities coming in just now, they were mixed in the seawater, and deep-sea creatures already looked curled up and blurry, so the crowd couldn't see them clearly. But these hideous centipedes right before their eyes were visibly terrifying.

The public madly urged the surrounding Divine Path Possessors to block these invading Calamities. But in the next second, all the Pu family members received a warning from their own Ancestor...

They absolutely must not attack these centipedes!

One must know that the Calamity of Taboo not continuing its attack right now was precisely because of these centipedes. If they themselves attacked these centipedes, setting aside whether they could win, this in itself would be a foolish act of cutting off their own path to survival. If they enraged that Calamity of Mockery down there, things would be even more troublesome.

Just like that, Chen Ling's centipede legion strutted into the streets of the South Sea Domain with an absolutely arrogant posture. Whether it was the Forbidden Sea or the South Sea Domain, unexpectedly no one dared to stop them...

Ultimately, under the watchful eyes of the public, the centipede legion converged beside the figure in the theatrical robe.

Wu Yi, whose figure was like a mountain, let out a soft cry, then respectfully prostrated its body, as if kneeling in worship before Chen Ling. Its mouthparts moved slightly, its gaze seeming full of excitement and anticipation... At the same time, all the other Shadow Centipedes also immediately laid down.

The centipede legion awaited the dispatch of their "King".

Within the residential buildings on both sides, everyone's hearts leaped to their throats.

They nervously watched that red-robed figure, as if deeply afraid that Chen Ling would say "kill them," and then those terrifying centipedes would slaughter the entire street empty... Judging from the attitude of these centipedes towards Chen Ling, no matter what Chen Ling asked them to do, they wouldn't have the slightest hesitation.

The surrounding public seemed to have long tossed their previous curses against Chen Ling to the back of their minds, madly praying in their hearts for Chen Ling to let them go.

Under the nervous gazes of everyone,

Chen Ling raised his hand and gently stroked Wu Yi's head.

The red-cloud-like Great Crimson Theatrical Robe danced in the cold wind, and a pair of vermilion earrings also swayed with the wind... Chen Ling's gaze slowly swept across this Domain, deep exhaustion and disappointment revealed in his eyes.

He was tired,

He didn't want to deal with these people anymore; he just wanted to find a place to stay quietly by himself.

The Human Domains didn't welcome him, the Integration Faction had lost their home, and in the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path, there was someone he didn't want to see... He seemed to only have one final destination left in this world.

He slightly parted his lips and spoke hoarsely:

"Let's return..."

"To the Ghost Mockery Abyss."
