ăPath of the Sovereignă VS ăMockery Calamityă
Thump thump thumpââ
The sound of spotlights transmitted from overhead. On the bright ăStageă, a figure draped in red slowly opened his eyes.
Awakening after dying this time, Chen Ling no longer had the panic he felt the previous few times. He calmly looked at the audience seats, which were missing a section, his gaze falling on the screen in front of the ăStageă.
"The ăExpectation Valueă remains at 15%... Very good."
Everything was exactly as Chen Ling had planned.
He turned his head, his gaze looking towards the great crimson curtain. Through the gaps in the curtain, he could see the scene of the ăPerformanceă.
In the sky between the mountain ranges, a ăRed Paperă monster hung in the clouds like a red sun. Its long, thin paper slips were like tentacles, casually stretching and extending. The bizarre, scarlet ăAuraă dyed half the sky red!
As the paper slips surrounding the ăRed Paperă monster's body rapidly contracted towards its center, the next moment, they shot violently towards the earth like a rain of blood. The red paper slips, capable of piercing through anything, punctured countless dense holes into the mountains and forests, and a wave of red began to spread across the earth!
Compared to the previous few times, Chen Ling distinctly felt that the state of "ăMockeryă" this time was much more irritable. Perhaps it was because he had tormented it to the point of extreme boredom in the ăAncient Vault of the Drama Pathă. Now that it had the opportunity to come out, it began to frantically vent its frustrations on ăYing Fuă.
This undoubtedly played right into Chen Ling's hands. As he watched ăYing Fuă's figure shuttle and dodge through the dense red rain, leaving afterimages on the devastated earth, a faint, bantering smile curled the corners of Chen Ling's mouth.
"So this is the joy of being 'ăThe Audienceă'..."
The original performer became the audience, and the original audience began to perform... The ăThe Roleăs of ăOn Stageă and ăOff Stageă reversed following Chen Ling's plan. At this moment, he felt as if he had already taken a seat in the audience, becoming a member of the countless spectators seeking entertainment.
Boomââ!!
Following a heavy, muffled explosion, tens of thousands of red paper slips that had pierced into the earth suddenly changed direction. Like red snakes roaming across the shattered ground, they swirled like a vortex towards ăYing Fuă in the very center, completely sealing off all his avenues of retreat!
Dense purple qi tumbled within ăYing Fuă's pupils. His slightly upturned phoenix eyes narrowed, and an emperor's majesty unconsciously overflowed... The ăImperial Palaceă hall behind him grew increasingly solid. A vast and mighty imperial aura suppressed the emptiness around him like a mountain, forcefully tearing open a vacuum region amidst the scarlet vortex.
"Just a beast, and you dare to offend the emperor's majesty?" ăYing Fuă raised his hand and pressed it in the air above the earth. Fine electric arcs roamed around his body, and the shattered earth began to tremble violently!
"ăReshapingă."
As these two words were spoken, the atomic structure of the soil was broken and reorganized. The roaming electric arcs became increasingly brilliant. At the same time, divine weapons flashing with golden luster began to separate from the shattered earth...
Sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, battleaxes, hooks, and forks. A dazzling array of cold weapons that made Chen Ling's eyes swim rose amidst the coiling electric arcs, hanging by ăYing Fuă's side like piercingly bright golden stars.
Immediately after, ăYing Fuă raised his hand and pointed into the air at the ăRed Paperă monster in the sky.
"ăSky Wolfă."
A massive wolf's eye opened in the emptiness, locking onto the irritable ăRed Paperă monster in midair. A mysterious power began to weaken its defense and reaction speed. Even with the naked eye, one could see that the ăRed Paperă monster's state was suppressed, its movements becoming incomparably sluggish.
The next moment, the golden divine weapons surrounding ăYing Fuă shot out simultaneously. Golden long arcs swept from the ground towards the sky, carrying ear-piercing sonic booms that rang through the heavens!
Boom boom boomââ!!!
Successive explosions echoed from the sky. Intense firelight tore the sky-filling scarlet red to shreds. Amidst the deafening detonations, more than half of the ăRed Paperă monster's body was blown apart, the burning fragments of ăRed Paperă slowly floating down to the earth like a rain of fire...
Seeing this scene, Chen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly from within the ăThe Theateră.
"At the same tier, he actually managed to suppress 'ăMockeryă'? Is this the strength of the ăPath of the Sovereignă..."
Looking from a third-party audience's perspective, Chen Ling could truly experience ăYing Fuă's power. On one hand, he possessed ăReshapingă, which allowed him to create divine weapons at any time. On the other hand, he possessed ăSky Wolfă, which was best at hunting. The combination of the two allowed ăYing Fuă's combat power to skyrocket by more than just a single fold.
This guy right now was completely a humanoid missile silo, and one with infinite ammunition, infinite range, absolute accuracy, and even the ability to reduce the enemy's resistance from afar!
However, winning against the "ăMockeryă" ăCalamityă... wasn't going to be that easy.
ăăAudience Expectation Valueă -1ă
ăCurrent ăExpectation Valueă: 14%ă
The instant this line of text floated up, the shattered red sky began to tumble once more!
The ăRed Paperă monster, riddled with holes from the round of explosive attacks, swelled and regenerated at an astonishing speed. Countless red paper slips intertwined together, like a writhing red cloud spreading in all directions.
Atop that tumbling red cloud, a massive red sun stared fixedly at ăYing Fuă like an eyeball. Even though it had no expression, one could still feel an unprecedented sense of fury and oppression.
ăYing Fuă's brows gradually furrowed.
Although that ăCalamityă was still at the ăFifth-Tieră, he could feel that the opponent's current ăAuraă had skyrocketed several times over compared to before. It was even just a hair's breadth away from the ăSixth Stageă...
Even so, ăYing Fuă still didn't retreat. As electric arcs spread around him, another dozen divine weapons floated up from the earth, rapidly sweeping towards the sky under the guidance of ăSky Wolfă!
The golden long arcs tore through the vast sky like the tail flames of missiles, crashing into the tumbling red cloud. However, this time, they failed to pierce through its body as intended.
Within the red cloud, countless red paper slips tumbled like tidal waves. They wrapped around the divine weapons and actively collapsed inward, easily dissipating the kinetic energy attached to them. Subsequently, the red paper slips coiled around them like tentacles, sealing all the divine weapons within.
A moment later, these paper slips uncurled and released. The divine weapons that were originally wrapped inside had completely vanished. In their place were flat pieces of paper with the divine weapons printed on them... It was as if the three-dimensional divine weapons had been forcefully compressed into two dimensions and sealed within this red cloud.
Seeing this scene, ăYing Fuă's pupils contracted slightly...
Before he could make a move, the red cloud tumbled once again. The two-dimensional divine weapons were re-elevated to three dimensions and shot back at ăYing Fuă from the red cloud like raindrops. Accompanied by bursts of ear-piercing sonic booms, violent explosions engulfed ăYing Fuă!
When the ăAudience Expectation Valueă dropped from -1 to 14%, the scales of victory tilted once more. ăYing Fuă, who originally held the advantage, was once again suppressed into a disadvantage...
Chen Ling, who was watching the battle from within the ăThe Theateră, could even feel the sinister smiles of the "ăThe Audienceă" beside him growing increasingly brilliant.
They were thoroughly enjoying the show?
Chen Ling's gaze continued to fall on the curtain, only to see a figure rapidly fly out from the surging firelight. However, this time, he didn't launch another attack at the red cloud. Instead, he wisely began to sprint away from the red cloud's range of influence!
