Chapter 1857: Rank 9

Rank 9

Chen Ling charged into the torrent. His eyes were red, and his whistling sleeves smashed into the ferocious faces of one Audience member after another. Slowly and with difficulty, he carved out a bloody path among them.

Ever since Chen Ling stepped onto the eighth step, the light and shadow of Divine Path Certification were almost completely obscured. Whether it was the citizens of the Red Dust Bastion or the figures in the major bastions who saw this scene through the Aspiration Power, doubts surfaced between their brows.

"I could still see a little bit just now... Why is it completely gone now?"

"Is his past just going to end like this?"

"It doesn't seem like it... It feels like it's been covered up by something."

"Look, he seems to be blocked by a group of black shadows!"

"What are those black shadows?"

"Can't see clearly... Looks like patches of fog?"

"I don't know, feels very difficult."

"..."

Unknowingly, the citizens' tone and direction of speech toward Chen Ling had changed.

Although most of them still couldn't understand Chen Ling's past, they could vaguely sense from those fragmented scenes that Chen Ling was not the extremely vicious and evil existence they had anticipated.

Perhaps they didn't even realize it themselves, but a portion of them had already started looking forward to Chen Ling finishing walking this divine path and completing his self-proof.

Pairs of eyes nervously watched the figure advancing with difficulty at the end of that Twisted Divine Path.

Bang——!

In the chaotic battle, Chen Ling was kicked in the calf, almost losing his center of gravity and kneeling down.

Chen Ling was very capable of Fighting, but after breaking through so many steps in a row, facing the nearly endless encirclement of Audience, his physical strength was ultimately limited... Moreover, two fists were hard to match four hands. Under the human wave tactics, the space left for him to maneuver became less and less.

But Chen Ling was like wild grass in the wind. No matter how strong the wind and waves around him were, he could always stubbornly steady his figure again and continue moving forward.

Rustle, rustle——

Rustle, rustle——

Chen Ling stepped onto the Twisted Divine Path step by step. Whenever he was about to run out of strength, the bits and pieces of what he had gone through on this divine path would surge in his mind.

Aurora Domain, Red Dust Domain, Ancient Vault of the Drama Path, Tianshu Domain, Wuji Domain, Integration Faction, South Sea Domain, Ghost Mockery Abyss...

And Hidden Cloud, Spirit Void.

What supported Chen Ling to walk on this divine path until now was never the gazes of the Audience or bystanders... but his past self.

Bang, bang, bang——!!

Chen Ling growled and threw punches, once again knocking down several Audience members blocking his way.

He could see that the last step on this Twisted Divine Path was no longer far from him...

But the airtight Audience still surrounded that place, not only blocking Chen Ling's advancement, but also obscuring the light and shadow of Divine Path Certification.

If he couldn't clear an empty space here, even if Chen Ling stepped onto the ninth step, his past wouldn't be displayed between heaven and earth, and naturally he wouldn't be able to complete Divine Path Certification.

This was the final obstacle blocking Chen Ling's path.

Chen Ling took a deep breath. He couldn't think of any other way right now besides using brute force to carve a path out... So, he could only whistle and charge forward.

Bang, bang, bang, bang——

The distance between Chen Ling and the ninth step grew closer and closer.

But the Audience around Chen Ling still didn't relax in the slightest... They seemed to know they couldn't defeat Chen Ling, so they just surrounded him tightly like this, wanting to stop Chen Ling's Advancement by obscuring the self-proof.

Countless fists landed on Chen Ling, smashing that already scar-covered figure until he tottered.

He silently moved forward in the endless malice, letting those fists hit him. He would occasionally counterattack, but he knew these counterattacks were useless... Snuffing out one malice, there were still thousands and millions of malice.

On this Twisted Divine Path, between this heaven and earth, everything was his enemy. The black torrent occupied everything, and only Chen Ling's Theatrical Robe and that Divine Path Star hanging high in the sky glowed alone with red... Thin, stubborn, yet tiny.

But Chen Ling was already used to it.

Just when Chen Ling was Unable to Move an inch in the final black torrent,

A palm reached out from the side and firmly grabbed an Audience fist that was about to land on Chen Ling's back.

Suddenly, Chen Ling felt that a large portion of the fists falling on him was missing, as if someone stood behind him and blocked that surging black wave for him.

Chen Ling subconsciously turned his head to look.

A figure wearing a vest was planted behind him like a rivet. In this black torrent, his figure seemed completely out of place with the surroundings.

Chen Ling's pupils contracted slightly.

"The last step is right ahead, go forward boldly... I'll hold them off for you." Wen Shilin looked back and smiled faintly at Chen Ling,

"Remember, you are not alone."

Wen Shilin's body also appeared fragile and tiny in front of the black torrent, but he still firmly clenched his fists, shouted loudly, and whistled toward those Audience members.

The Fist of Justice forcefully helped Chen Ling tear open a small gap in this dense torrent...

At the same time,

The light and shadow of Divine Path Certification, which had been obscured for a long time, appeared once again.

"Since the establishment of the Dusk Society, there has always been only one goal..."

"And you, coming from different domains, different organizations, different divine paths, because of different reasons, ultimately chose to join the Dusk Society..."

"In this process, perhaps you have also been confused and doubted, but I think since everyone can walk together to this point, it shows that everyone has already firmly bet everything on this goal..."

"Reverse the Era, Reboot the World."

"..."

"But before that, we still have one last mission... kill the Calamity of Taboo, snatch back the last shard of the Shaman Path."

"For this mission, except for Black Spades J who is still in the Spirit Void Domain, all other members will participate. After arriving at the Forbidden Sea, each of you will receive a Poison I personally made..."

"Keep the Poison in your mouth. If death is already inevitable, take the Poison immediately."

"As long as you do this, no matter how far apart we are, I can recall your souls."

"And then..."

"We will go to the new world together."

"..."

In the piercing cold wind, Chen Ling's past unfolded before the eyes of every citizen. They saw heaven and earth shatter, saw all things reduced to ruins, saw figures standing before the frozen sea, remaining silent.

"It's back, the footage is back!"

"What node is this?"

"Don't know... but it seems to be talking about the Dusk Society."

"Wait, do you see the sky has been dyed red? Could it be that the Red Star is coming back?"

"They..."

"Are they really preparing to Reboot the World?"

"..."

Everyone's attention was attracted by the flashing light and shadow.

Chen Ling on the Twisted Divine Path took a deep look at Wen Shilin, who was blocking the torrent horizontally, and pursed his lips... He didn't say any thanks, just silently turned around and walked toward the last step.

As Chen Ling arrived before the ninth step, the light and shadow above the sky also reached their end. They saw above the ruins of a domain, a figure in a Theatrical Robe standing in the center of nine coffins, the light and shadow of civilization surging above his head...

At this moment, everyone held their breath. That absurd possibility they couldn't believe no matter what, seemed to be becoming reality under their witness.

"Everyone."

"Human civilization..."

"——Will never be extinguished!!"

Chen Ling's words echoed above the firmament.

Chen Ling smashed away the surrounding Audience punch by punch, and then his eyes stared intently at that Divine Path Star close at hand... The blood-stained sleeve silently raised, and he grabbed toward that star across the air.

Then,

He stepped heavily on the ninth step with one step!!

Boom——!!!!

In an instant, a roaring loud noise echoed between heaven and earth.

Ten thousand miles of auspicious light pushed aside the thick clouds, cascading down like a waterfall hanging from the heavens...

An extremely vigorous Rank 9 Aura erupted at the end of the divine path.
