Chapter 1097: Disaster
In the dark chaos outside the Wasteland World.
Countless otherworldly demons began waking up.
“On that land is the aura of Primordial Godfiends!”
“This is the best signal. No need to wait, we’ll break through immediately!”
A few powerful Godfiends bellowed orders, while the other otherworldly demons had basically no awareness of danger. Their eyes only had bloodthirst, and like moths to a flame, they closed in on the Wasteland World.
“Go, destroy everything! For the supreme chaos of the universe!” A spiritual will resounded and suddenly bombarded downward.
The entire Wasteland World shook, and three claw marks appeared on the heavenly canopy, looking like a wound of heaven.
Many Primordial Godfiends roared in excitement as they led legions of otherworldly demons to fly into the world from the wound.
“A wound of heaven?!” At the same time, on the Wasteland World, numerous existences raised their heads to look at the wound in the sky with furrowed brows. “It’s a large-scale demon disaster!”
Demon disasters varied in scale.
In the past, small-scale demon disasters featured mainly otherworldly demons, with the occasional Primordial Godfiend. The cultivation Holy Lands could easily stop them.
Large-scale demon disasters were much worse! Not only would the number of otherworldly demons explode, but Chaos Godfiends would appear as well!
With only their Connate Destruction Great Dao, they could harm the nomological laws of the world and tear apart the heavenly canopy defense.
If Fang Yuan were present, he would surely understand. Only Great Daos that were comparable to the perfect Dao paths of Netherheaven Demon Gods could truly fight against an entire world!
The appearance of this wound of heaven was indisputable proof that Chaos Godfiends were involved!
“It’s actually a large-scale demon disaster!”
“A heavenly tribulation that hasn’t occurred for ten thousand years! To think our generation would actually encounter it!”
“Hurry and gather all the Immortal disciples and awaken all the elders!”
“Maintain the Mountain Guarding Array at its strongest at all times. Don’t be stingy with top-grade spirit stones!”
...
At the same time, almost all Holy Land sects started taking defensive actions.
Near the Central Region of the Great Sage Immortal World.
A group of Immortals suddenly stopped. “It’s a large-scale demon disaster! Hurry and return!”
“Deacon Qi, are we going to stop tracking down that murderer?” One Immortal was very reluctant. “That murderer killed the disciples of our Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect and is wicked beyond redemption! According to the soul searches of that master-servant pair who were on the run, the murderer took an Iron Mountain Token from them, so the Iron Mountain Gate likely has a connection...”
“I’m naturally aware of this. However, our Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect and the Golden Soul Sect have always had a rocky relationship, so we can’t ask it for help. And the Iron Mountain Gate is a branch of the Golden Soul Sect. It will take a long time to track him down. We could take things slow in ordinary times, but there’s a demon disaster now, and it’s a large-scale one at that. If we’re even the slightest bit negligent, we will encounter a tribulation!” the leading Immortal Qi said calmly.
He was clad in silver armor and looked extremely dashing. With a silver spear in hand, his murderous aura soared. Even among Immortals, he was the type that excelled in killing.
“Okay... understood!” After hearing this, no matter how unwilling the other Immortals were, they could only choose to return.
After all, it was a large-scale demon disaster. Even cultivation Holy Lands could collapse! The previous Mount Mengyan was the best example!
Roar Roar!
Just as they were about to turn into streaks of light and return, pillars of black Qi that towered to the sky suddenly appeared.
The figures of otherworldly demons started to appear slowly from them, and their demon claws directly grabbed at the Immortals.
“Have a taste of my spear!” Immortal Qi shook his spear, and it suddenly turned into nine spears that seemed to have lightning coursing through them.
Whoosh!
A blue light appeared, and lightning danced wildly.
Under this thunder god-like attack, nine otherworldly demons flew backward, howling. Their scales were broken, with black smoke rising.
“Nice Thunderbolt Spear Dao!” the other Immortals exclaimed in admiration.
Deacon Qi was one of the elite Immortals of the Heavenly Circuit Immortal Sect. He had comprehended the Nomological Laws of Spear and the Nomological Laws of Thunderbolt, and created his own ‘Thunderbolt Spear Dao’. Even Grand Unity Immortals praised that once this Dao reached perfection, he could advance to the respected Grand Unity status!
If it were not for the death of an Immortal, a genius like him would not be on the pursuit team.
This man has both brawn and brain, knowing when to advance and when to retreat. Perhaps... he can fight for the position of sect master one day!
Upon arriving at this thought, the gazes of the other Immortals changed.
Deacon Qi was clearly enjoying these gazes. It also appeared that he had been promised something by a voice transmission, and he proclaimed loudly, “Haha... You guys don’t need to do anything. I can handle these otherworldly demons by myself!”
Suddenly, there was a turn of events!
An enormous demon palm descended from the sky like a mountain, casting a shadow that covered hundreds of kilometers.
“It’s a Primordial Godfiend!” Deacon Qi immediately put away his spear. “Help me, everyone! Thunder Dragon Array! Quick!”
The Immortals formed the array. Lightning sparkled before turning into a blue electric dragon that coiled itself around the spear.
Roar Roar!
The thunderbolt dragon roared and struck simultaneously with the spear at the demon claw.
Ding!
With a clear chime, the demon claw stopped before suddenly splitting open in the center.
“Go!”
Seeing this, Deacon Qi transformed into a ray of electric light and vanished into the horizon without looking back.
Being able to exchange a blow with a Primordial Godfiend and escape with his life was enough to make him famous among Immortals.
In addition, he knew that he could escape with his life-saving technique. It was already fortunate that he could escape, and he had no thoughts about saving his companions.
The next moment, an enormous demon shadow appeared in the sky. It issued an earthshaking roar in rage due to Deacon Qi’s escape.
“It’s... the Primordial Godfiend?”
The remaining Immortals had faces filled with despair as they desperately used their life-saving techniques and artifacts.
Unfortunately, not everyone was as powerful and as talented as Immortal Qi. A few lights danced underneath the demon claw, but they were unable to find an opening. The Primordial Godfiend swallowed them one by one.
“Indeed... Immortals taste the best!”
After devouring the Immortals, the body of the Primordial Godfiend increased dramatically. “Go forth... Destroy everything you see!”
Under its command, masses of otherworldly demons started sweeping out in all directions like locusts, bringing destruction to the world.
...
Golden Soul Sect.
A golden bell with dragon patterns rang. Fang Yuan joined a group of outer disciples and looked at the wound on the heavenly canopy.
“It’s actually the Golden Dragon Bell!” Chu Duo muttered. “This is only sounded when the main sect has a crisis of annihilation!”
“Seems like the demon disaster arrived earlier than expected!”
As disciples of a cultivation Holy Land, their outlook and source of information were naturally incomparable to the low-level cultivators and mortals.
Before the mortals and low-level cultivators were aware of anything, they had already formed a rather accurate speculation of the situation.
“The demon disaster is ahead of time?”
“This is bad! My family is still outside!”
“Why is this happening?”
...
Many sighs came, and Fang Yuan pretended to be shocked as well. Naturally, he would not admit that this had anything to do with him.
“A Demonic Tribulation! Even small-scale demon disasters plunge the entire world into misery and suffering!”
He blinked and recalled many descriptions. “Otherworldly demons know nothing but destruction. They can wipe out an ordinary human city in less than an hour. Every time there’s a demon disaster, anguished cries resound throughout the land, and places become barren for thousands of kilometers... Of course, everything is equal under the demon disaster. Wild lifeforms, even Fey, ghosts, monsters, and evil beings will not escape its wrath!
“However, in addition to guarding their own sects, some cultivation Holy Lands will send out troops to protect the main cities in order to preserve the last vitalities of the human race! The Golden Soul Sect has ten main cities under us, each of which can accommodate a million people under normal circumstances. Under urgent circumstances, a few million is no problem!
“Besides having a Grand Unity and other Immortals protecting these cities, disciples are needed to patrol as well. Want to pass your days leisurely from today onward? Fat chance!”
While Fang Yuan was contemplating, a booming voice echoed throughout the entire Golden Soul Sect. “Although demon disasters are fierce, the Golden Soul Sect has endured for millions of years. You can rest assured, for our sect is impregnable! Starting today, the outer and inner disciples will obey the commands of the Battle Hall. We will delegate missions after seven days. Violations of orders will result in death regardless of the reason. Both body and soul will be destroyed!”
The faces of Xiao Jiuli and others immediately paled after hearing the notice. “This is bad. I knew the sect wouldn’t let us hide here forever!”
Naturally, it was very safe inside the Golden Soul Sect.
However, the defenses at the ten main cities failed occasionally, and even some Grand Unity Immortals had fallen. This was all recorded in the history books.
Since even Grand Unity Immortals were dispatched, ordinary disciples naturally needed to contribute.
The only exceptions were the core disciples!
After all, they were true geniuses and highly likely to tackle the Grand Unity realm in the future. They were the last seeds and could not be expended needlessly.
“Seven days left!” Xiao Jiuli and Chu Duo exchanged glances and then rushed toward the Mission Hall. “Let’s exchange all our contribution points. If it’s possible to become an inner disciple, do so immediately!”
In this war, the outer disciples had the most dangerous missions, while things were slightly better for inner disciples.
At this time, they naturally had to fight with everything they had.
The seven-day grace period that the Golden Soul Sect announced, in addition to allowing the disciples to prepare for the upcoming war, was to give a final chance for the hidden geniuses to pass the challenge.
Many disciples understood this, so when Fang Yuan arrived at the Mission Hall, he saw a bustling scene.
Moreover, the sect had reduced the prices of many dao talismans, dao artifacts, and so on, clearly showing consideration for the numerous disciples.
Of course, the liveliest place was the Golden Soul Realm.
The gates to the realm were full of disciples who wanted to make a final effort.
Fang Yuan reckoned that the situation in the inner sect would be even crazier.
After all, their status would completely change after becoming a core disciple. Even the missions assigned to them would not pose any real danger. They could even choose to hide cowardly within the Golden Soul Sect until the demon disaster passed.
“There will surely be many outstanding outer and inner disciples at this time, so I shouldn’t stand out too much among them...” Fang Yuan muttered to himself as he walked toward the realm gates. “Even if they detect that something is amiss, with how busy the Grand Unity Immortals are, there’s a high chance I will succeed!
