Chapter 1429: I... Came to See You...

Cangyun Domain.

Swoosh—swoosh—

Two figures descended from the sky like divine warriors, tearing through large swathes of flesh-and-blood plants that had spread into the domain. Their powerful eighth-tier aura emanated wildly!

They were two of the former Judgment Enforcers: Farmer and Butcher.

"Why can't we completely destroy these damned things?" Butcher gripped a vine that had emerged from the ground, tearing it in half with his bare hands. Gory flesh splattered everywhere, but the next moment, dense masses of plants still swarmed him, like an endless torrent of water.

The next second, a foot, clad in straw sandals, stomped heavily onto the ground!

Thump—

The earth suddenly seemed to come alive, convulsing outwards and forcibly pushing the flesh-and-blood plants that had grown above ground back into the earth. Farmer, with a hoe on his shoulder, snorted coldly and stomped again!

The flesh-and-blood plants pressed beneath the earth were crushed, and streams of scarlet blood continuously seeping from the ground, dyeing the entire area crimson.

"Brute force is useless," Farmer said solemnly. "These things are naturally resistant to your Strength God's Path."

"...But our Cangyun Domain is primarily populated by those of the Strength God's Path!" Butcher was nearly exasperated by the cursed plants. "Damn it! If only that Deboning Knife were still here..."

"That knife wouldn't be much help against these enemies, even if you had it."

"Then what do you suggest we do???"

As the two bickered, a massive alchemical array unfurled in the sky, and the aura of the Witch God's Path surged wildly outwards.

A young man, draped in a black alchemical robe, his face obscured by the shadow of his hood, was intensely focused on manipulating the alchemical array beneath him. Streams of arcane light swirled within it...

If Chen Ling were here, he would immediately recognize this person.A former member of the Wuji Domain Witchcraft Association,The genius alchemist, Dolan.

As Dolan's fingertips tapped, a magnificent rain of fiery meteors descended from the sky, overwhelmingly plunging into the endless vines surrounding the city. Eerie, mysterious green flames spread across the ground, and the flesh-and-blood plants, seemingly in extreme agony, let out piercing screams and curled up!

"See that? That's what you call professional!" Farmer couldn't help but say."We're getting old... sometimes, we just have to rely on the younger generation."

"..." Butcher gazed at the seemingly endless flesh-and-blood plants before him and suddenly asked, "Tianshu and Xuanyu Domains both issued warnings about world-ending attacks earlier. Why has Cangyun Domain remained quiet for so long?"

"The Filth Calamity rotated to Tianshu, and the Calamity of Cessation went to Xuanyu. So, by that rotation, it should be our Cangyun Domain's turn for...""The Primordial Mother of Eternal Delusion, the Desire Totem of the Painted Skin of Greed."

Almost simultaneously,In front of the Cangyun Base gates.

"Has Lord Nanhai still not come out?"

"No... Ever since he heard the news from Nanhai Domain, he's been in his room and hasn't emerged."

"Alas, Lord Nanhai traveled thousands of miles to support our Cangyun Domain, only to arrive and find his own domain already lost... It would be hard for anyone to bear."

"And I heard that he personally allowed the Fusion Faction into the city, which led to the subsequent tragedy."

"So, he's the real culprit behind the fall of Nanhai Domain?"

"What nonsense are you spouting! Don't you know who Lord Nanhai is? No one cares more about the survival of the domain than he does!"

"Then why did he let the Fusion Faction into the city??"

"Apparently, it's because the current leader of the Fusion Faction is his former teacher..."

"A domain destroyed because of personal sentiment... sigh, it's hard to say, really hard to say..."

As the staff of Cangyun Base whispered outside the intelligence room, a rhythmic knocking sound echoed from the other end of the corridor.

Everyone's gaze simultaneously turned, their eyes flashing with doubt.

"Who is it?"

"It's wartime. The base's main gate doesn't even have an access control system. Why would anyone be knocking?"

The group stepped forward, about to ask something, when the base gate slowly swung open...

Outside the door was a "figure" wearing a shirt.

It was called a person, yet it resembled a strange entity draped in human clothing. Standing about two and a half meters tall, its massive torso almost burst the cheap shirt it had seemingly picked up from somewhere. It floated there lightly, its skin like that of a "paper doll" folded into a human shape, wrinkled and crumpled, like a monster molded from clay.

The distorted shirt, coupled with its oddly familiar yet incredibly bizarre "facial features," if one had to describe the feeling, it was akin to the rumored "imposter" trying to mimic a human.

However, this "imposter's" pupils were formed by a dense cluster of animal eyes, a sight that sent shivers down one's spine at first glance!!

As everyone stared in shock, the imposter slowly opened its mouth, mimicking human speech with a sinister chuckle, and said:

"Little Chu...""It's me, Lu Xun...""I've... come to see you..."

Above the grayish-white earth, an ink-stained figure streaked swiftly across the sky.

Behind it, a red paper umbrella darted like a meteor, and a sky full of crimson clouds rolled in like a tsunami, quickly threatening to engulf the ink figure...

Whiz—!!

Just then, a deboning knife suddenly shot out from the handle of the red paper umbrella!The knife's hilt was covered in grotesque centipede legs. Even as the red paper umbrella itself moved at an incredibly high speed, the knife's astonishing velocity carried it directly above the ink figure. With a hum from its blade, this foundational secret treasure of ancient strength was activated to its fullest!Inverted gravity, like an invisible hand, slammed the ink figure violently towards the ground!

Boom—!!!

The ink figure plummeted like a meteor, crashing directly into a ruined domain within the Gray Realm. Dust billowed and swirled, blanketing the abandoned city.

Violent coughing echoed from the enormous crater, and the Calamity of Thought, dragging its mud-like body, slowly crawled out...

Seeing its surroundings, it immediately recognized its current location:The ruins of Ruoshui Domain.

It had been pursued by the Calamity of Mockery since Nanhai Domain, traveling north. After passing through Tianshu Domain, had it finally reached the ruins of Ruoshui Domain? Despite its ability to flee, it had escaped so far, yet still couldn't escape the grasp of the Calamity of Mockery.

The Calamity of Thought's expression was exceedingly grim.

Red paper-like clouds surged from the horizon, obscuring the sky above Ruoshui Domain, bringing a unique splash of color to these ruins that had been submerged in the desolate Gray Realm for many years...

At the same time, a figure in a red-and-black patterned opera robe slowly descended from the sky onto the street.A vibrant, striking large red paper umbrella spun gently on his shoulder. With a hum, the deboning knife automatically flew back into his hand. He stood there, one hand holding the umbrella, the other gripping the knife, slowly approaching like Yama, the lord of death.
