Doomsday Code

Meanwhile, the Crocodile Dragon Emperor, who had changed his name to Clown, led Chen Cheng and the other two northwards and arrived at the territory of the Red Fish Emperor.

However, the Red Fish King's waters were unusually quiet at this moment. Wherever the clown had passed before, the sea creatures in the water would be startled and flee in all directions. But here, it was unusually quiet.

"Ah Hong, it's me! Come out quickly!"

The clown shouted out loudly, making Chen Cheng so angry that he wanted to crack open the clown's head to see if it was filled with "Oli Gei" (a popular internet slang term for a ...

A suit of armor appeared, a dragon horn sword in hand, and his gaze swept across the underwater world.

The next moment, countless small fish appeared out of nowhere, pushing the water and forming a dense, innumerable net that enveloped the group.

"Let's do it."

The clown's body suddenly swelled up, and with a single gulp, countless small fish were swallowed into his belly.

With a flick of his sword, Chen Cheng unleashed a tornado of water, and with his supernatural powers, he killed countless enemies with a single strike.

Even so, the small fish were still densely packed together, and Chen Cheng even felt that there was no river water around them anymore, only these fearless little fish.

The Joker realized this and immediately prepared to use his domain, but the next moment something unexpected happened.

Before the clown's domain could even extend three feet, the chaotic magical energy within it immediately shattered it.

"Master, this place has been transformed into a demon-slaying land by Little Red."

Chen Cheng had also heard of the Land of No Demons that the clown mentioned.

The Absolute Magic Array, also known as the Forbidden Magic Array, was one of the most prized achievements of the Imperial Royal Academy back then.

He did not isolate magical energy in the traditional sense, but rather used magical runes to create a strong disturbance of magical energy in a large area, making it impossible for mages and warriors to obtain stable magical energy assistance from the outside world.

It can even influence demigod-level powerhouses.

Back then, many of the mansions of the empire's princes and nobles were equipped with such magical arrays. Later, when the capital was destroyed, it directly led to the ruined capital becoming a god-forsaken land with extremely strong magical disturbances.

However, Chen Cheng had only heard of such a situation. Legend has it that the empire used to set up such formations to deal with some legendary figures who did not obey orders. It could even be said that this formation was one of the foundations of the empire's founding.

Meanwhile, since the collapse of the empire, this technology has been lost. The existing magic arrays are either from some ruins and battlefields from the imperial era or from the unused stockpiles that the empire bestowed upon some kingdoms.

Even so, the number of surviving examples is extremely small; at least the Kingdom of Mos and several surrounding kingdoms do not possess them.

Anthony and the Joker were already covered in cold sweat. They were trapped in the Demon Realm. Unless they could achieve legendary status and immortality on their own, anyone in this place would face a great risk of death.

Even if a legendary-level being is caught in the formation, their strength will be greatly reduced.

"Don't rush, let me try."

Chen Cheng calmed the emotions of the man and the fish, and then began to expand his divine domain in all directions.

However, an unbelievable thing happened: the healing array that Chen Cheng had engraved in his divine kingdom as its foundation suddenly failed. At the same time, his divine domain's control over the magical energy within it dropped to an extremely low point. It could be said that apart from some of the basic abilities of the divine domain itself, almost all of its various additional abilities were weakened by 80%.

Such a situation is unimaginable. At the same time, considering that the legendary ruins are known as the land abandoned by the gods, perhaps the situation there is just like his current one.

This was the first time Chen Cheng had ever witnessed man-made magic influencing a god, without using any divine power whatsoever.

This is simply an amazing thing.

It also allowed him to witness the power of the Empire's truly top-tier magical technology back then.

Although he couldn't crack it, Chen Cheng wasn't without options.

Because such a magic array doesn't distinguish between friends and enemies, at least that's how he feels right now.

So the Red Fish King here is just a big fish that's a bit larger.

This is why the Red Fish King never showed itself, instead sending these small fish to their deaths.

All she needed to do was control these small fish, letting them exhaust Chen Cheng and the others, and then she could come out and reap the benefits.

However, she never expected that Chen Cheng would have a divine domain. Although the power of the divine domain was reduced by 80%, the basic visual extension still existed.

Through the divine realm, Chen Cheng quickly spotted the Crimson Fish Emperor.

That guy was indeed shrewd; he actually hid dozens of miles away, and was even guarded by those large aquatic creatures.

If he tries to fight his way through on his own, by the time he finds her, the clown will be too exhausted to even defeat the aquatic creatures around her.

However cunning she was, she never imagined that she would be a god, and this time she still had to drink her own foot bath water.

Chen Cheng swept across a group with a single sword strike, then climbed onto the clown's back and pointed northeast, saying:

"Charge over there, the Red Fish King is there."

Although the clown didn't know how Chen Cheng had determined this, he was now Chen Cheng's slave and had to obey Chen Cheng's orders unconditionally.

With a swift movement, he instantly killed countless small fish.

Then he led Chen Cheng and Anthony and quickly headed northeast.

The clown's huge mouth is like a merciless meat grinder. It just opens its mouth wide and charges forward while contracting its jaw muscles, turning countless small fish into minced meat.

Meanwhile, the Red Fish King, who was still gloating in the distance, suddenly realized something was wrong. The small fish that had surrounded her were her eyes and ears. Why was the Crocodile King suddenly attacking her location?

Without a second thought, the Red Fish King ordered the other smaller fish to continue surrounding and wearing down the fish, while he himself led the other large aquatic creatures to move to a new location.

However, as her position changed, the Joker's attack direction also changed.

At this moment, the Red Fish King realized that he had been targeted by the Clown.

The next moment, the Red Fish Queen swallowed the several aquatic creatures that had run away from the Clown's Water Palace to seek refuge with her.

"Damn undercover agent."

She thought that these aquatic creatures had revealed her location, which was why the Dragon King was able to keep track of her.

The clown was already quite close to her location, so there was no point in hiding anymore.

However, she wasn't worried. Anyway, the clown had used up a lot of his strength fighting his way here, and with so many large aquatic creatures on her side, she could wear down the clown even if he fought alone.

As for the powerful humans mentioned by the aquatic creatures who had come to join them, the Red Fish King dismissed it all as a clown's conspiracy and put it out of his mind.
