Chapter 688: Demonic Calamity Erupts

Wang Cheng asked suspiciously, “Junior Brother Xiao, where did you go earlier?”

Hu Hai thought for a moment and recalled Hua Tianhe and the others looking around for something. Then, he guessed why Xiao Chen left.

Hu Hai smiled and said, “There is no need to ask further; I know where Junior Brother Xiao went. Let’s go. There is something strange about this place. We should leave first before continuing this conversation.”

At the same time, Hu Hai projected his voice to Xiao Chen, “Junior Brother Xiao, don’t worry. After we return, I will explain everything to First Senior Sister. No matter what, Hua Tianhe will not dare defy her.”

Xiao Chen nodded slightly to indicate his thanks. However, he knew full well that this grudge would not be resolved easily.

He had to take his fate into his own hands. Becoming strong was the most important thing.

When the five left the forest, strong sunlight shone down. When they smelled the fresh air and saw the distant blazing sun, they all smiled.

They knew that there would not be any more unexpected surprises with this mission. The rights to enter the Savage Battlefield were definitely theirs.

“Ha ha ha! I feel great. I finally defeated Hua Tianhe and his group this once.” Hu Hai laughed loudly as he took the lead.

However, just at this moment, the bright sky suddenly turned leaden. Dark clouds gathered from all directions, churning as they did so.

The cultivators around the forest entrance and the not-so-distant bustling bazaar all stopped what they were doing and stared at the sky.

The noisy and bustling bazaar immediately fell quiet. Xiao Chen looked up and saw the churning gray clouds becoming increasingly darker. The sky seemed like it had turned into a black lake.

Even a fool could tell that something was wrong.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” Countless panicked Spirit Beasts’ roars resounded in the forest. The ground seemed to shake as pounding footfalls came from the forest; several Spirit Beasts ran to the forest’s periphery.

“Damn it! It’s a Demonic Calamity!”

Suddenly, the surrounding cultivators reacted, looks of horror flashing on their faces. Then, they ran around in a frenzy, turning the whole place chaotic.

The previously bustling bazaar emptied in a mere matter of minutes; not a single soul could be seen.

The expressions of Jun Si and the others did not change much. They were no stranger to Demonic Calamities. However, they were rather incredulous. “Strange, it is not the time for the Demonic God Blood Sacrifice yet. Why is there a Demonic Calamity?”

Hu Hai said calmly, “This should not be a true Demonic Calamity. It is just an ordinary spatial storm. Come on, we are not returning to the Supreme Sky City yet. We are going to the nearby Spirit Water City first.”

Wang Cheng said disapprovingly, “There is a Supreme Sky Sect branch in Spirit Water City. There is also a Martial Sage there. There is no need for us to remain. We should hand the proof of completion to First Senior Sister first; that is the most important.”

However, Hu Hai was very determined. He summoned out his metal warship and said, “You can’t say that. As true inheritors of the sect, we cannot stand by idly, doing nothing.

“Regardless of whether it is a Demonic Calamity or not, just the presence of frantic Spirit Beasts will fluster the people here. Furthermore, the Demonic Beasts and Demons that might arrive would be very problematic. If we fail to defend Spirit Water City, the death toll could be in the millions.”

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

As the group spoke, the sky became more and more ominous. Black lightning flashed, adding an apocalyptic cast to the scene.

Countless Spirit Beasts of various types stampeded out of the Savage Beast Forest. The group no longer said anything else and immediately boarded the metal warship.

The moment the metal warship lifted off the ground, a dense cloud of flying Spirit Beasts emerged from the Savage Beast Forest.

The flying Spirit Beasts blanketed the sky. Then, like a rain of arrows, they launched themselves at the metal warship.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

A blue barrier appeared around the warship. When the countless Spirit Beasts crashed into the barrier, the warship rocked heavily, making everyone feel dizzy.

Hu Hai stomped heavily on the deck, and an immense force spread out. The flying Spirit Beasts near the warship immediately died from the shock waves.

“Junior Sister Jun, help me fill the warship up with Spirit Stones. We are going to break out,” Hu Hai said with a grave expression.

Understanding the urgency of the matter, Jun Si quickly ran into the hold and fed the warship a large pile of Superior Grade Spirit Stones.

Hu Hai laughed loudly and gently patted the railing. “Ka ca! Ka ca!” Some portholes opened up, and huge sharp swords extended from the sides, front, and back of the warship.

The black metal warship turned into a ferocious beast baring fangs at the moment. Hu Hai doubled the speed of the warship, diving forward at Mach 8.

“Pu ci! Pu ci!”

The warship put on a burst of speed as fast as lightning, ramming into the flying Spirit Beasts in front and slicing them in half.

Along the way, the warship left behind a red trail of blood. With its fast speed, it finally managed to break away from the rampaging flying Spirit Beasts, leaving them far behind.

The dark sky now reappeared before everyone’s vision. The danger had passed for now.

Xiao Chen looked down and saw people fleeing, looking terror-stricken. There were warships with the Supreme Sky Sect’s insignia stopped in front, taking in all these ordinary citizens.

However, there were not many warships and too many people. Clearly, these would not be enough. The crowd was in a state of panic.

After Xiao Chen looked around, he peered into the distance. He extended his Spiritual Sense to his limits and soon discovered a few villages. These villages were in complete disorder; corpses covered the ground.

Xiao Chen was dumbfounded. As he looked at the dark clouds, he asked, “What is going on?”

The others exchanged glances. Then, Chen Xiao sighed and replied, “This is a spatial storm from the Demonic World. No matter if there is a Demonic Calamity or not, there will always be Demonic Qi pouring out. These Spirit Beasts were frightened and just wanted to leave this place.

“Junior Brother Xiao Chen, you know how Demonic Beasts are formed, right? They are formed when Spirit Beasts get contaminated with Demonic Qi. Aside from Rank 8 Spirit Beasts and above, regular Spirit Beasts would find it very hard to resist the contamination of Demonic Qi.”

Xiao Chen nodded and said, “Then what exactly is a Demonic Calamity? From what you’ve said so far, it sounds very horrifying.”

Chen Xiao had a grave expression as he replied, “The Demonic Calamity is a sword hanging over the entire Kunlun Realm. For the sake of offering sacrifices to their Demonic God, the eighteen Demonic Worlds invade the Kunlun Realm every five hundred years. Every time it happens, they harvest the blood of a hundred million cultivators before they stop.”

Xiao Chen’s expression changed slightly. He noticed that Chen Xiao said cultivator and not ordinary citizens. The Kunlun Realm was vast and broad. If every race were taken into account, there would be more than a hundred billion people.

Just the Tianwu Domain was already several times the size of the Tianwu Continent. It was easy to imagine how many people there were.

However, there were relatively fewer cultivators. If they had to kill a hundred million cultivators, then at least a billion ordinary people would die.

This was not just a numbers game. When Xiao Chen simulated this invasion in his mind, the scenario that appeared was filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Just thinking about it made Xiao Chen tremble. It seemed impossible that the incredibly strong Kunlun Realm would experience such a calamity.

“This is a calamity for both sides. If these Demons do not kill the cultivators of the Kunlun Realm, then cultivators from the Demonic Worlds will have to be killed, instead. Otherwise, when the Demonic God rages, all eighteen Demon rulers will be changed.”

Chen Xiao continued, “Aside from offering sacrifices to the Demonic God, some Demon Race experts occasionally attack the Kunlun Realm for the sake of their evil cultivation.”

When Hu Hai heard this, he smiled and said, “Junior Brother Xiao Chen, it is not as frightening as Chen Xiao says. We are still a long way from the next Demonic Calamity. The Supreme Sky Sect also has the Supreme Sky Emperor protecting it. No Demon Race expert would be stupid enough to attack us.

“This is just a spatial storm. The Kunlun Realm’s space and the Demonic World’s space collided with each other. This kind of thing happens occasionally. At most, there will just be some Demonic Beasts from the Demonic World coming over.”

After Xiao Chen understood everything, he regained some confidence. He whispered, “However, these ordinary people will suffer, suffering a disaster for nothing.”

Hu Hai also turned sullen, and he sighed, “This is unavoidable. However, there is a Supreme Sky Sect branch in Spirit Water City. They should have already sent out experts to stop the Spirit Beasts.

“We should rush over to Spirit Water City. The demonized Spirit Beasts and the Demonic Beasts appearing later are what’s horrifying. If we fail to defend Spirit Water City, the millions of people fleeing nearby are likely to die.”

After an hour, a majestic city appeared before the five’s eyes. They could see long lines of people awaiting entry at all the city gates.

Many Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons lined the walls, looking very mighty.

Hu Hai surveyed the city before setting his gaze above the city gate in front. Many people with Supreme Sky Sect disciple medallions were standing there already.

At this moment, the troops that normally maintained the peace could no longer manage the situation. The defense of the city was handed over to the Supreme Sky Sect branch.

Hu Hai waved his hand, and the metal warship returned to his sleeve. Then, the five floated down to that city gate.

“Who is the person in charge here? I am the Supreme Sky Sect’s true inheritor, Hu Hai.”

Hu Hai took out his medallion, addressing the hundred-odd Supreme Sky Sect disciples in front. His tone radiated a faint might.

A gray-robed cultivator with deep cultivation revealed joy on his face. He immediately stepped forward and said, “This old man is Bai Ao. I am the Branch Leader here.”

Spirit Water City was not one of the Supreme Sky Sect’s nine main cities, so they would not be able to gather experts from the branch at short notice. At the moment when the Branch Leader worried about this, he saw Hu Hai and his group.

Naturally, the old man rejoiced, feeling more confident.

Xiao Chen thought to himself, Hu Hai really has a respected position in the sect. Even though the old man before us is a peak late-stage Superior Grade Martial Monarch, he is still so humble and respectful to Hu Hai.

“Where are the Guardian Elders?”

Hu Hai frowned slightly. In such a large city like Spirit Water City, the Supreme Sky Sect would normally arrange for some Martial Sage cultivators to hold down the fort.

With such a disaster imminent, Hu Hai felt somewhat furious that he did not see the Guardian Elders.

Bai Ao quickly explained, “The Guardian Elders sensed the arrival of the Demonic Calamity the moment signs appeared. They immediately rushed over to hold back the beast horde coming from the Savage Beast Forest.”

Hu Hai’s anger eased, and he said, “Summon all the disciples who are Martial Kings and above. Perhaps we can also recruit some of the cultivators fleeing into the city.”

Clearly, Hu Hai had experience in defending the city. With just a few words, he stabilized the situation. His steadiness allowed the nervous disciples who had never seen him before to calm down.

Witnessing all this, Xiao Chen felt respect for Hu Hai. If he were to handle this situation, he would not be able to perform as well. Even if he could do it, he did not have the sense of responsibility to do so.
