Chapter 1436: Sealed Forever?

Sealed Forever?

"Oh no..."

[Audience Expectation Value +4]

[Current Expectation Value: 24%]

Seeing this scene, Chen Ling's mind plunged into an ice cave.

Chen Ling never expected that the Thought Calamity would actually use this method for Breaking the Deadlock. Up until now, this was the first time that, under the complete release of the Calamity of Mockery, not only did it fail to kill the enemy, but it was instead suppressed back to its original Rank!

Was this a World-Ending Calamity?

Even if it was just a Thought Calamity bound by an old body, compared to those enemies he faced before, it fundamentally wasn't on the same level.

That dying old man who seemed to be entirely buried in earth from the neck down stumbled out of the ruins, almost losing his footing and plummeting directly to the ground... But at this time, an excitement of surviving a disaster also flashed in those blood-red pupils!

The instant Chen Ling saw that the Thought Calamity was still alive, he directly pulled out a Handgun from his cuff, pressed the muzzle against his temple, and pulled the trigger again!

In the next second, the firearm in his hand directly dismantled into numerous strokes of the character "gun," dissipating bit by bit into nothingness.

Chen Ling's gaze turned cold, and he still planned to pull out the Bone-Stripping Knife, but a "束" (Bind) character instantly pierced through nothingness, shooting over from the direction of that tottering old man!

Chen Ling only felt his limbs go stiff. His whole person was bound by an invisible force. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free in the slightest.

That old figure walked closer and closer, and a terrifying oppressive feeling surged towards Chen Ling like overturning mountains and emptying seas!

No matter how weak a World-Ending was, it was still a World-Ending; no matter how close a Demigod was to death, they were still a Demigod;

As long as the Thought Calamity's heart was still beating, it wasn't an existence a Chen Ling who had just stepped into the Seventh-Tier could contend against. And with the Thought Calamity successfully Breaking the Deadlock, the roles of hunter and prey alternated once again!

Under the gaze of that old look, Chen Ling's bound body slowly floated up, like a lamb nailed to a cross, unable to move a single bit...

"If you have the ability, kill me." Chen Ling said in a deep voice.

"Kill you?" The Thought Calamity seemed to have heard some joke, "Do you think I'm that stupid... You are Mockery's only weakness. As long as you still occupy the dominance of this body, it cannot reappear in the world."

The Thought Calamity slowly raised its hand, and those densely packed characters floating in the air swarmed towards Chen Ling's direction!

The strokes of those characters were dismantled one by one, and reorganized beside Chen Ling, turning into "囚" (Imprison) characters one after another. These characters adhered to the surface of Chen Ling's body, gradually outlining the silhouette of a coffin!

"I won't kill you..."

"I will have you, and the Mockery locked inside your body, sealed forever together in these ruins!"

The Thought Calamity's words were cold and ferocious. The mighty characters stacked layer upon layer. Chen Ling suspended in the air was gradually covered by a pitch-black coffin of characters, and tiny "囚" (Imprison) characters climbed onto his pupils...

Chen Ling's heart plunged into an ice cave.

"Damn it..."

...

Tianshu Domain.

The earth surged. Countless flesh and blood vines swept across the dense buildings. Large swathes of buildings were leveled to the ground. Rolling dust mixed with wails rising one after another resounded through the clouds.

A black-clad figure holding a Long Spear charged out of the flesh and blood vines, flying close to the ground like a shooting star, smashing straight into that Calamity tide charging with an irresistible force.

BOOM——!!!

Hong Xiu's Long Spear pierced through the skulls of three skeletal Calamities in succession, directly blasting their bodies apart. Before she could turn around and charge again, a Bone Rhino radiating an Eighth-Tier aura was like an unstoppable chariot, crushing the earth and charging towards her!

Thud——!!

The friction between the Long Spear and the rhino's sharp horn generated a terrifying force that even Hong Xiu couldn't resist. Her figure was blasted away hundreds of meters. Before she could steady her footing, a second and third Eighth-Tier Calamity also changed direction, surrounding that red-haired figure.

Hong Xiu took a deep breath. Streams of Killing Intent began to converge towards her body. Under the effect of [Asura], her Combat Power began to soar rapidly!

She charged towards the three Eighth-Tier Calamities alone!

But no matter how capable she was of Fighting, the Tianshu Domain only had one Hong Xiu. In this mighty Calamity tide sweeping the domain, one or two mainstays fundamentally couldn't salvage the situation. The mighty Calamities crashed through the blockade of Hong Xiu, Lu Liangren, and the others, stepping into the chaotic domain city.

"No good... There are too many of them, our defense line can't hold."

Lu Liangren waved the Large Writing Brush, drawing deep ravines in front of the Calamity tide that was continuously breaking through the barriers. But this also couldn't block the Sighing Wilderness for too long. At this time, several Eighth-Tier Calamities had already set their sights on him.

"Even if we can't hold, we must hold!" Hong Xiu blasted apart the leg bone of an Eighth-Tier Calamity with one spear strike, speaking with awe-inspiring Killing Intent,

"The Tianshu Domain absolutely cannot fall!"

Lu Liangren turned to look towards the center of the domain, only to see flesh and blood vines having already broken out of the ground, entwining the surface of the Tower to Heaven, spreading upwards bit by bit, as if wanting to turn the entire Tower to Heaven into nourishment for the Calamity of Corruption.

Countless Path of the Artisan craftsmen were leaping down from the top of the tower one after another. They carried various paragliders or jetpacks on their backs, and some even directly pressed a bamboo dragonfly on their heads... They floated down profusely and disorderly from the sky, occasionally looking back towards the direction of the Tower to Heaven, their faces incomparably pale.

The Tower to Heaven carried the technological heritage of the previous era, and was simultaneously the crystallization of civilization of this era;

The Tower to Heaven had always been regarded as the stabilizing pillar of the Tianshu Domain and even all of humanity, the spiritual Belief of countless people... And now, this tallest human building was being nibbled away by a World-Ending Calamity bit by bit.

The city collapsing in the dust, the Calamities hissing and charging, coupled with this tottering Tower to Heaven, the scene before their eyes was tantamount to the doomsday of humanity.

And at this time, all the figures within the Tower to Heaven were already following instructions, conducting an airborne evacuation from the top of the tower.

"Protect Mr. Han well! No matter what, absolutely nothing can happen to Mr. Han!"

Piercing red lights flashed at the top of the tower. Cui Ran, The Assassin who was one of the Heaven-Reaching Star Position holders, was directing those craftsmen who were scared to the point of shivering to evacuate. And behind him, several high-tier Combat Powers were guarding a figure sitting in a wheelchair. It was precisely the contemporary Pathway Chief of the Path of the Physician, Mr. Han.

Perhaps because he had kept his Domain open for a long time, Mr. Han's face was incomparably pale at this moment, as if he would fall into a coma in the next moment. But he forcibly gritted his teeth, relying on his powerful spiritual will to stay awake and maintain the Domain on the battlefield...

As long as his Domain was still there, no one would truly die in battle. This was the reason why all the Combat Powers present were currently charging wave upon wave without fear of death... Once the Domain became invalid, not only would thousands of Combat Powers thoroughly die, but the last bit of courage of the Tianshu Domain would also be drawn away. At that time, the defeat would truly be set in stone.

"The Tower to Heaven is going to collapse!!" As the tower violently swayed, someone shouted anxiously.

"You guys hurry up and leave..."

A voice came from the rear. The Lord of the Red Dust, Su Zhiwei, who had kept her eyes closed sensing something from beginning to end, finally opened her eyes at this moment. Her gaze locked onto a certain location underground,

"Just leave me alone here."
