Chapter 1682: Congratulations On Wrapping Up

Congratulations On Wrapping Up

Chen Ling knew what Chu Muyun meant.

This senior who initially led him into the Dusk Society had already completed his mission in this era. Now, he could no longer participate in the task of besieging the Calamity of Taboo...

His journey ended here.

Even though all the members clearly knew what they were going to face next, and also knew that everyone was going to die, seeing Chu Muyun lose his vitality bit by bit right before their eyes, they felt somewhat terrible in their hearts.

Even the Square 7 Coroner, who had always been the most at odds with Chu Muyun, turned his head away and said nothing.

The hem of the black and red Theatrical Robe fluttered in the cold wind of the frozen sea. Chen Ling raised his hand and gently pressed it on Chu Muyun's forehead.

Chen Ling had already personally sent off Kong Baosheng, but for this senior who personally guided him into the Dusk Society, he didn't know how to say goodbye... When Chu Muyun pushed open the door of his home in District Three, Chen Ling had never thought that one day he would need to end his life with his own hands.

Thankfulness? Reluctance to part?

For the Dusk Society, death was not the end. Leaving this world was for the reunion in the next world... So, they didn't need to say goodbye.

Chen Ling took a deep breath. His tone lost a bit of heaviness and gained a bit of nimbleness:

"The Grand Curtain of the era is about to fall, we will meet again in the next performance..."

"Congratulations On Wrapping Up..."

"Senior Chu."

Hearing this, a faint smile gently hooked up on Chu Muyun's pale mouth...

And then, it froze silently.

Chen Ling personally took away Chu Muyun's vitality. He saw the illusory ghost float out from Chu Muyun's body, and as the Great Red Paper Umbrella opened, it disappeared without a trace...

The Great Red Paper Umbrella opened above the black earth, and the extremely cold frozen sea washed against the reef. Numerous figures surrounded the corpse that left with a smile, falling into silence.

On this journey with no turning back, the first person to leave had already appeared.

Chen Ling slowly stood up. He set his gaze at the end of the frozen sea, his ruby-like eyes revealing unprecedented resolve.

"...Let's go."

"The time left for us is not much."

Bai Ye at the side took a deep look at Chu Muyun's pale corpse. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment. He just silently pulled the brim of his White Baseball Cap down to the lowest, low enough to cover half his face, making people unable to see his expression clearly...

And then, he firmly strode forward and charged into the depths of the frozen sea!

Chu Muyun's death did not cause any blow to the morale of the Dusk Society members, and even instead firmed their confidence. Every one of them gripped the Poison given by Chen Ling in their hands, and sped out like streaks of flowing light.

Just as Chen Ling was about to follow up, the Grey King, who was being supported by Liu Qingyan at the side, suddenly stopped in her tracks...

"What's wrong?"

Chen Ling noticed the abnormality in the Grey King's expression and slightly frowned.

The Grey King was silent for a moment. "...The Lord of the Red Dust and the Lord of Wuji died in battle, the Lord of Spirit Void... is still alive."

Chen Ling's pupils abruptly contracted.

Woo woo woo——

The bone-piercing cold wind swept across the shore, and Chen Ling's heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave.

The Lord of the Red Dust and the Lord of Wuji joined forces... and actually failed to kill the Lord of Spirit Void? How could this be??

Although Chen Ling wasn't at the scene, he knew that the Lord of the Red Dust and the Lord of Wuji both went to fight the Lord of Spirit Void with the attitude of certain death. Just to what extent had the Lord of Spirit Void become powerful, to be able to counter-kill two Nine Monarchs under the condition of being poisoned and injured?

"But what's certain is that the current Lord of Spirit Void is extremely weak." The Grey King spoke in a deep voice, "If we want to kill him... now is the best opportunity."

"But no matter how weak he is, he's still a Nine Monarchs fighting on his home turf!" Seven of Hearts said anxiously. "There are no human Demigods left in this world now... Who can go kill him?"

"...I can go try."

Just at this moment, Sun Bumian, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

Behind the Round Sunglasses, unprecedented seriousness surfaced in his ringed pupils. "Detonating all the Power of Samsara, I can briefly become a Demigod of the Path of the Actor... Perhaps, I can go kill him."

"No, you cannot go." Chen Ling unhesitatingly shook his head, "Your power must be used to deal with the Calamity of Taboo... It is the incarnation of Curse, your Auspicious Qi is our only means to contend with it. Even if you want to detonate the Power of Samsara, your opponent should also be the Calamity of Taboo."

The current Dusk Society fundamentally didn't have a stable Demigod Tier Combat Power. In Chen Ling's expectations, his Rank 8 Calamity of Mockery Power of Negation, Jiang Xiaohua's strength foundation from the previous world, plus the Grey King's half-step Demigod power, and the Rank 8 combat power of the four Senior Brothers, Senior Sister and Bai Ye, might be able to barely besiege the Calamity of Taboo...

But with just these, they couldn't kill the Calamity of Taboo. Sun Bumian, who could exert true Demigod Combat Power, was their absolute trump card!

If Sun Bumian was reassigned to kill the Lord of Spirit Void, then no matter how many more people the Dusk Society sacrificed, they wouldn't be able to kill the Calamity of Taboo.

"Then what about the Lord of Spirit Void?"

"The Lord of Spirit Void is currently heavily injured, but the longer time drags on, the more power he recovers... The slimmer the chances of killing him will be."

"Once he's allowed to recover to his prime, in the whole world, who else can kill him?!"

Chen Ling was very clear that Sun Bumian's worry was right. What the Dusk Society had to face now was a race against time... They and the Lord of Spirit Void were running on different sides of the track respectively, whoever took the lead first would be the ultimate winner.

Chen Ling was silent for a long time, and still spoke:

"I'll go."

Sun Bumian, the Grey King, Liu Qingyan and the others were all startled, and then looked at Chen Ling gravely.

"You're not going to release the Calamity of Mockery again, are you?" Sun Bumian immediately retorted. "The Red Star is about to return soon, there's only this one chance to Reboot the World, you absolutely cannot let the Calamity of Mockery take over your body... Otherwise, who knows what will happen?"

"I know, I won't release the Calamity of Mockery." Chen Ling spoke calmly,

"Since there is no Demigod Combat Power in the whole world now, then beneath Demigods, I should also be the strongest... Not to mention, I understand him better than anyone in this era."

"After the deaths of the Lord of the Red Dust and the Lord of Wuji, the person in this world most likely to kill him... is only me."

"Then with Hearts gone, what do we do?" Jiang Xiaohua asked cautiously.

"For besieging the Calamity of Taboo, Diamonds is the main force. Even without me, you guys still have a chance, and don't forget..." Chen Ling paused for a moment and slowly spoke,

"Spades hasn't returned yet."

Everyone fell into deep thought.

The Red Star's Return was imminent, the time left for them was not much. The corpses of the Nine Monarchs must be recovered immediately, and the Dao Foundation Fragments must also be gathered immediately... Now the only solution before them could only be to split up and act.

The Dusk Society besieges the Forbidden Sea, while the Red King faces the Lord of Spirit Void alone.
