Chapter 1704: Come Out and Suffer Death!

The black and red theatrical robe blotted out the sun and sky.

Hearing these two words, a faint trace of a smile rippled within those ruby-like pupils.

He had Han Meng judge him not only to let Han Meng understand his actions, but also to use the scales of justice in Han Meng's heart to measure whether everything he did was right.

Having continuously slaughtered two domains and personally killed so many innocent citizens, Chen Ling had long become numb. When he saw the endless corpses personally suspended by him beneath the sky, he was also somewhat in a trance for a moment... He also couldn't help but question himself, was it right to do this?

Heaven is dizzy and earth is dark, the common people fall on their own;

Slaughter Is Not Sin; The Red Boat Ferries Those in Pain.

Slaughter is not sin, but the citizens who died by Chen Ling's hands already numbered in the hundreds of thousands. Who could guarantee that every single one of them was willing to be "ferried"? No matter what Chen Ling's ultimate goal was, his slaughtering of the citizens was already a fact. The current bloody stench, pain, and the curses he suffered were all real.

Chen Ling was in the midst of the situation and for a time also couldn't measure whether he was right or not... But in this world, there was someone who could measure it.

Han Meng was like an absolutely fair mirror. The instant the judgment opened, justice would give Chen Ling the answer.

"...Thank you."

Silent for a long time, Chen Ling spoke to Han Meng from the bottom of his heart.

"You want to kill the Lord of Spirit Void, I can help you." Han Meng immediately spoke. "On the other side of the Spirit Void Domain, there hides a world piled up by formulas. The two Nine Lords and those Rank 8s all died in battle there..."

Han Meng concisely and comprehensively revealed everything he knew. After Chen Ling finished listening, he was deep in thought.

He opened his mouth and said something to Han Meng. The two figures then exchanged a glance and nodded at the same time.

The black Enforcer trench coat sped away in one direction.

The world-ending aura churned on Chen Ling's body. Beneath the black and red that blotted out the sun and sky, he continued to step forward slowly...

Endless red paper tentacles extended in all directions as if possessing self-awareness, continuously harvesting the frightened citizens who survived in the surrounding building remnants. Fragmented ghosts floated up from the ruins, surging toward the red paper umbrella.

Some residents were not killed by Chen Ling due to floor height or because they were sleeping. Some died from the collapsed buildings, and some died from suicide under extreme terror... No matter what kind of death they ended their lives with, their souls would be swept into the red paper umbrella.

The red paper umbrella's ability could absorb all ghosts within the surrounding area into it, regardless of whether Chen Ling personally killed them or not. And the reason why Chen Ling had to give the Dusk Society members poison was because they were too far away from Chen Ling, and the red paper umbrella couldn't gather their ghosts... Therefore, he could only use [Abyssal Ghost Ferry] to first attract their ghosts over, ignoring space, and then suck them into the red paper umbrella.

So while Chen Ling was madly harvesting the lives of the Spirit Void Domain's residents, he could also feel ghosts being attracted over from the north one after another.

Seven of Hearts, Eight of Clubs, Nine of Spades, 10 of Diamonds, Red Heart J...

With every Dusk Society ghost returning to its place, worry surfaced in Chen Ling's heart... The faster the ghosts returned, the more it meant that the slaughter on the Forbidden Sea battlefield was extremely intense, and the Dusk Society was at more of a disadvantage.

But if there were ghosts that didn't return, Chen Ling would also feel nervous, deeply afraid that someone failed to swallow the poison and couldn't go to the next world.

In the end, Chen Ling counted the ghosts attracted back by [Abyssal Ghost Ferry]. A total of five were missing:

Grey King, Nine of Hearts, Jiang Xiaohua, Jian Changsheng... and an external Dusk Society member, Zhao Yi.

The good news was that the Dusk Society was not completely wiped out, indicating that the encirclement and annihilation of the Calamity of Taboo might have succeeded...

And the bad news... these missing ghosts might not have all persisted until the end. Perhaps some of them would never have the chance to meet again.

Chen Ling took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his emotions, while simultaneously slashing out another strike.

The blood-colored full moon emerged in the ruins once more.

Over a hundred thousand fires of life were extinguished at the same time.

The originally incomparably prosperous and heavily populated Spirit Void Domain had already been slaughtered into a blood-colored dead city by Chen Ling at this moment. Broken corpses covered every corner of the ruins, and an extremely dense bloody stench soared into the sky.

But even so, Chen Ling still didn't see the Lord of Spirit Void's figure...

From the moment Chen Ling stepped into the Spirit Void Domain, the Lord of Spirit Void hadn't revealed the slightest aura. Letting Chen Ling slaughter hundreds of thousands of people, he didn't have the slightest intention of making a move either. If Chen Ling couldn't perceive that the Lord of Spirit Void's domain still shrouded the domain, Chen Ling would almost doubt whether he was still here.

It was as if everything that happened here had nothing to do with him.

"Ignoring the life and death of others, just burying his head in closed-door cultivation to recuperate..."

Chen Ling guessed that perhaps the Lord of Spirit Void didn't want to ignore it, but his physical condition was indeed extremely poor. He knew that if he didn't recover some power as soon as possible, perhaps he fundamentally wouldn't be his opponent.

Chen Ling took a deep breath. In the next second, [True Words] activated on the tip of his tongue, and his voice exploded in the sky above the entire domain like thunder:

"Wu Tongyuan——!!"

"Come out... and suffer death!!!"

Beneath the sky interwoven with black and red, the world-ending oppression surged within the domain. But even with Chen Ling provoking him like this, the Lord of Spirit Void still didn't emanate the slightest aura.

Chen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew the Lord of Spirit Void perhaps wanted to delay time. Since even this couldn't force him out, then he could only think of another way...

A moment later,

His gaze fell on that towering Akashic Tower in the distance.

Chen Ling coldly snorted. His figure, as if draped in a red and black theatrical robe that blotted out the sun and sky, tumbled and rushed toward that tall tower!

"If you don't come out, I'll chop down this tower right in front of your face!!"

Chen Ling raised his palm, and the Bone-Stripping Knife automatically fell into his grip. The power of [Wall Breaking] madly spread to the surroundings, forcefully compressing the messy and dilapidated ruins around him into two dimensions...

At the same time, a red thread piercing through the second and third dimensions extended from the blade edge of the Bone-Stripping Knife once again!

Just at the instant Chen Ling was about to swing his knife and slash toward the Akashic Tower, a sudden change occurred!

Buzz——!!!

Three roaring sounds overlapped together, tearing the sky.

Three chess pieces were seen thrown from the ruins of the Spirit Void Ancient Temple, circling and flying in three different directions. After skipping across the void in waves, they simultaneously surrounded Chen Ling with bizarre arcs!

As expected, once he threatened the Akashic Tower, he couldn't hold it in anymore.

A brilliant light explosively flashed in Chen Ling's eyes!

The current Chen Ling was long no longer the previous him. He didn't even need to rely on Wall Breaking to dodge these attacks. The Bone-Stripping Knife in his hand swung out a blood-colored full moon once again, sweeping across the void, and the three world-destroying chess pieces were cut in half from the middle!

Boom, boom, boom——!!

The shattered chess pieces collided with each other, bursting with flames. An explosion containing terrifying energy submerged heaven and earth.
