Chapter 1599: An Inescapable Nightmare

An Inescapable Nightmare

When the extra-dimensional rift and the second "Calamity of Mockery" appeared, the Calamity of Corruption realized something was wrong.

Although it hadn't yet been able to understand why two Calamities of Mockery would appear in this world, right in the moment of its daze, the Calamity of Mockery that was deeply embedded between the flesh and blood forest let out a burst of cold laughter...

The Calamity of Mockery raised its hand, and the complex flesh and blood vines coiled around it were directly blasted apart into a mist of blood. Then, it approached the rift in the distance in a straight line.

But its speed was still a bit too slow.

The instant it charged out of the Bitter Flesh Forest, Chen Ling and the others had already arrived in front of that rift. Chen Ling pressed one hand on the gecko's back and shouted loudly:

"Come with us! Bi Yi!!"

The gecko didn't know what Bi Yi was, but a flash of conflict momentarily appeared in its hollow eyes.

Its body didn't pause. In the end, as if it had made up its mind, it let out a hiss and carried Chen Ling and the others straight into the rift!

...

In the boundless deep space.

A figure completely wrapped in the aurora was nervously watching five directions.

To be safe, Yang Xiao didn't detonate the five Extra-dimensional Wake Missiles in the same place. After all, if Chen Ling and the others came out of one rift only to run into Calamities pouring out of the other rifts, it would be another bitter battle.

Facts proved that Yang Xiao's worries were correct.

After one of the rifts opened, endless freezing seawater surged out from it. Because the rift was in space, the seawater continuously expanded like an encased sphere. A moment later, one bizarre pitch-black figure after another emerged within it.

After these bizarre giant figures crawled out of the rift, they were momentarily dazed. They didn't seem to know where this place was, and could only scurry around blankly within the water sphere...

This was actually the better scenario. After another rift opened, a horde of monsters made of nothing but skin poured out like a waterfall. Even though they bared their fangs and brandished their claws, they couldn't move freely and could only silently float in space, like a long river of monsters flowing above the stars.

Five blind boxes yielded two types of monsters... Yang Xiao's gaze fell on the other three rifts.

It was unknown which corner of the Gray World these three rifts connected to. They were extremely quiet. Aside from the occasional pieces of shattered stone and clouds drifting out, there were no other figures.

Just as Yang Xiao was nervously calculating the time, several figures rapidly dashed out from one of the rifts!!

Behind them was a black gecko the size of a small mountain. After entering space, it visibly began to panic. It seemed to have never encountered this kind of environment, frantically waving its limbs and tail just like the Calamities of the Vain Mountains.

Then, the rift vanished into thin air behind them.

"Director Chen!!"

Yang Xiao spoke in pleasant surprise when he saw the figure wearing the theatrical robe, but his voice couldn't travel in a vacuum, so it just looked like his mouth was moving silently.

Having narrowly escaped death, the several people other than Chen Ling were all affected by the environment of space at this moment. Their blood vessels bulged one by one, and they couldn't catch their breath at all... Fortunately, Qi Muyun waved his large hand, directly rolling out a layer of atmosphere from his sleeve that covered the surroundings, finally returning everyone to normal.

"We made it out alive?!" Ecstasy from surviving a disaster surfaced on Wu Tongyuan's face.

Seeing Chen Ling and the others come out, Yang Xiao's suspended heart finally settled down. Just as he was about to step forward and say something, the next second, Wu Tongyuan spoke again:

"!?evilatuo tiedamekew"

Yang Xiao, who had just flown halfway, froze in place.

Immediately afterward, he saw the ecstasy on Wu Tongyuan's face disappear as if a rewind button had been pressed. The atmosphere permeating the surroundings also rapidly rolled back into Qi Muyun's sleeve. The crowd, who had just stabilized their bodies in the air, reverted to the unstable state of having just flown out!

Without [Cut], Wu Tongyuan and the others probably only had confusion and bewilderment in their hearts at this moment. But Chen Ling, who was in the midst of it all, clearly knew what had happened...

Startled and terrified, he shifted his gaze not far away. He saw that the rift, which had already disappeared, had been torn open once again. Among the barren clouds, a pitch-black figure was sneering coldly.

The Calamity of Mockery had negated everything that had happened in the past few seconds!

Chen Ling's heart instantly felt as if it had plunged into an icy cavern. Everyone, who had finally managed to escape with their lives, uncontrollably flew back into the Gray World behind the rift. And the first to return was Bi Yi, who was closest to the rift.

"Trash. Can you not even recognize my aura?"

The Calamity of Mockery swept a glance at the gecko flying back like a mountain and coldly snorted. In an instant, a red paper umbrella slashed through the nothingness. Flustered, Bi Yi had absolutely no chance to resist, its massive head directly separating from its body...

Fresh blood gushed from the severed stump of its torso. Bi Yi's head spun in the air, its hollow and sluggish pupils looking toward Chen Ling, who was also flying back into the Gray World... A trace of bitterness flashed deep within its gaze. Immediately after, an illusory soul shadow was forcefully extracted from its body!

The Calamity of Mockery casually carried the red paper umbrella with one hand, while the other hand toyed with Bi Yi's recently extracted soul. The once incredibly powerful Calamity Poison Chief had now completely been reduced to a toy at its fingertips.

At this time, its teasing gaze had already landed on Chen Ling and the others, who had been forcefully "repatriated" back to the Gray World.

Couldn't escape...

They had already done so much, yet they still couldn't escape!?

A touch of despair rose in Chen Ling's heart. This was the first time he had truly experienced a "sense of powerlessness" in battle... It was also his first time truly experiencing the might of the Calamity of Mockery.

He had already stretched the time he could buy to the absolute limit, and had even successfully escaped back to Earth. But as a result of the Calamity of Mockery's single negation, all his efforts became an illusory bubble, fragile and laughable.

"Restart!!!" Chen Ling roared in his heart as he watched that hideously grinning pitch-black face gradually approach!

On this battlefield where victory was impossible, Wen Ruoshui was their final weapon.

A streak of blue light flashed through the nothingness.

...

The toad and the gecko rapidly crawled across the pitch-black earth.

Wen Ruoshui slowly opened his eyes. Fresh blood was already pouring out from his seven facial orifices. Just as he was about to say something, he felt a dizzying spell and fell backward headfirst... Having used the restart so many times consecutively in a single day, his body had already reached its limit.

"Doctor Wen!"

"Old Wen!!"

Seeing Wen Ruoshui silently fall to the ground, the several people around him nervously gathered over.

Wen Ruoshui's already blurred eyes helplessly looked at Chen Ling. He forced himself to try and say something, but Chen Ling directly shook his head at him:

"You don't need to speak... Rest well."

"I will look for myself."

Click—

The revolver spun in Chen Ling's hand. He casually selected an unimportant memory, turned it into a bullet, and loaded it in, then aimed the muzzle at the center of Wen Ruoshui's brow.

Bang!
