Opening the Door and Escaping

Even at such a critical juncture, Chen Ling's voice remained calm. Unbeknownst to him why, upon hearing his voice, Tian Xiaochen's originally panicked state of mind instantly settled down.

He immediately clenched his fists tightly and knocked heavily on the surface of the door!

Thud——!!

A faint and muffled sound rang out outside the Palace of Eternity... like a call of destiny, weak yet resolute.

...

Inside the Palace of Eternity.

Chen Ling, who was resting with his eyes closed on the luxurious sofa, instantly opened his eyes.

Although the outside world was already in complete chaos, the interior of the Palace of Eternity right now was still as eternally quiet as ever. Chen Ling's ruby-like eyes seemed to have caught something, instantly sweeping towards a direction in the nothingness... It was as if in a place he couldn't see, an extremely fast shooting star had streaked across the sky.

"The position of the door changes in real-time."

Chen Ling murmured to himself.

Since the Lord of Wuji dared to lock Chen Ling here, he naturally had something to rely on. Although from the outside, the Palace of Eternity looked like an ordinary building standing motionless on the ground, in reality, the interior here was changing every moment. Countless materials and substances were reacting here, just like a hyper-speed twisting Thousand Faces Rubik's cube.

For Chen Ling to want to leave this place, he first had to determine the direction of the "door". Although Tian Xiaochen's knock just now was faint, Chen Ling could still sharply capture that trace of sound fluctuation, moving from his southeast to the southwest...

Chen Ling closed his eyes and spoke again:

"Keep knocking, don't stop!"

Outside the Palace of Eternity, Tian Xiaochen nervously glanced back at the Knights who had already rushed past half the stairs. Then, using all his strength, he continued to crazily pound on the door!

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud——

The faint knocking sounds continuously swirled inside the Palace of Eternity. The movement trajectory of the door was continuously outlined in Chen Ling's mind. He stood quietly in place, motionless as a statue.

The continuous clashing sounds of Armor drew closer and closer behind Tian Xiaochen. Accompanied by bursts of scolding and cursing, his heart was already in his throat...

He didn't dare to look back, but he could hear that those figures were getting closer and closer to him.

Ten steps of stairs...

Seven steps of stairs...

Five steps of stairs!

Veins bulged one after another on Tian Xiaochen's neck. His fists, which were already red and seeping blood, smashed heavily onto the door once again!

Thud——!!

Chen Ling moved.

Right before the final knock rang out.

In his mind, he seemed to have completely outlined the movement trajectory of the "door", and perfectly anticipated its position in the next second.

The Calamity of Mockery's World-Ending aura erupted explosively. His entire person seemed to turn into a streak of crimson lightning, instantly moving to the front of the wall in that direction...

And then smashing a punch onto it!!

Piercing and dense electrical light burst forth from his hand. The wall at that position directly melted into a large hole, revealing layer upon layer of seemingly endless material rock strata behind it. But the moment these materials touched Chen Ling's hand, without exception, they were all broken open... As if they were originally part of this power.

This was a skill that originally belonged to the Lord of Wuji... [Material Reshaping and Material Ultimate Strength].

Chen Ling possessed a small portion of the Lord of Wuji's material authority, but from beginning to end, he hadn't easily revealed it, instead silently hiding this trump card... What he was waiting for, was precisely this most suitable timing right now!

The power of Reshaping easily broke open a path within the Palace of Eternity. Almost at the same time, a magnificent door flew right in front of Chen Ling following its trajectory!

In the next second,

Chen Ling pressed his hands onto it!

...

"You kid, are you this reckless of life and death?"

A Knight's voice came from behind the exhausted Tian Xiaochen, carrying a trace of anger.

Up until now, these Knights only took Tian Xiaochen's actions as a child's prank. They had already decided to throw this kid into the Dungeon in a while, and wait until the Lord of Wuji, My Lord returned to deal with him.

Right at the instant their icy armored fingertips were about to touch Tian Xiaochen,

A low creaking sound rang out from ahead.

Buzz——!!

A scorching airflow surged out from the gradually opening crack of the doors. Under the astonished gazes of the numerous Knights, those thick and heavy doors that had always been tightly shut were actually slowly opened from inside the Palace of Eternity...

In the dimness, a figure draped in a red Theatrical Robe with black patterns walked out from within like a ghost.

Vermilion earrings swayed silently. Those ruby-like eyes were cold and dangerous in the dimness, just like a trapped beast breaking free from its cage, his entire body exuding a suffocating sense of oppression!

Seeing this scene, Tian Xiaochen, whose Heart Turned To Ashes originally, had his eyes visibly brighten up!!

"Lord Chen Ling..." he murmured to himself.

Chen Ling's gaze fell on the numerous Knights who were dumbfounded on the stairs.

They seemed to be completely unable to understand how a kid randomly knocking on the door a few times had released this monster that even the Lord of Wuji, My Lord was somewhat wary of??

The Theatrical Robe with red background and black patterns stood behind Tian Xiaochen. That terrifying and dangerous aura caused all the figures about to touch Tian Xiaochen to freeze completely in place... And accompanied by a faint cold snort, a World-Ending level Oppressive Aura surged and flowed like a torrent!

Those bewildered Knights only felt as if those reddish eyes were going to swallow their souls. A chill surged directly from the soles of their feet to the top of their skulls. At the same time, invisible large mountains pressed directly down on their shoulders, making everyone's legs go weak as they knelt to the ground with a thud!

In the entire street, only Chen Ling and Tian Xiaochen were left standing on the stairs now, the Theatrical Robe fluttering in the wind.

Chen Ling raised his hand and rubbed Tian Xiaochen's head:

"You did very well... child."

His voice was incredibly gentle.

Tian Xiaochen stared blankly at him. At this moment, he seemingly was no longer that World-Ending monster that made everyone cower in fear, but an older brother from next door wearing a Theatrical Robe.

Almost at the same time Chen Ling opened the Palace of Eternity.

On the ground battlefield beneath the Eternal Domain, the Lord of Wuji, who was manipulating a continuous stream of matter to fight the Angel of Silence, seemed to sense something and abruptly looked up!

"He actually escaped?" The Lord of Wuji's brows furrowed tightly. "How is this possible... How did he do it?"

It was precisely this brief pause that allowed a surging, scorching fire dragon to fly directly past his figure, brushing against him. Under the bite of the air compressed to the extreme, half of the Lord of Wuji's body was directly reduced to flying ash!

Six massive wings spread out in the distance. Shen Qingzhu similarly glanced at the Eternal Domain above... He smelled a familiar aura re-emerging.

The corners of Shen Qingzhu's mouth curled up slightly. He leisurely continued to look at the Lord of Wuji before him:

"It seems... even without me, you can't lock him up either."
