Chapter 668: The Day the Heavens and Earth Overturned

The sky darkened, and the air grew cold!!!

The blazing sun turned icy; its warmth vanished, replaced by a chilling intensity that defied description. Everything began to wither. The beautiful landscapes turned to shades of gray, as if covered by a gloomy haze.

Many nations faced black rifts appearing in the sky—those were scars of the heavens. When powerful winds howled, it sounded like the heavens were weeping!

This was a calamity, a force that would destroy all!

Many demonic creatures fell from the stars, while humanity was reduced to mere ants. The world became a furnace of hell, and in the coming years, countless lives would be burnt away. The suffering of the living could not fully describe what beings endured!!!

Heavens and earth turned upside down; the east became the west, the south became the north. The land flipped over like a chessboard. When one looked up, the familiar constellations were nowhere to be found, as the sky seemed to plunge into an unfamiliar cosmos.

Calamity, calamity, calamity! All palaces turned to dust!

Among all the continents, the Wutu Continent faced the most devastation. However, the Nine-Mystic and Extreme Huan Continents, having formidable strength, were relatively less affected by the initial turmoil, even the demonic creatures of the Demonic Essence World acknowledged that these places were difficult to provoke.

At this moment, who knows how many practitioners adept in techniques looked to the sky, sighing, “Alas! The stars have changed, the techniques have altered. It will be thousands of times harder to deduce the world’s trends now!”

“Boom…” At the same time, vile beings hidden in the shadows of every continent leaped into view. Under the great calamity, the secrets of the heavens became chaotic, making it difficult for practitioners to ascertain their whereabouts. However, there were those who had provoked formidable foes or bore heavy karmic debts; upon gazing at the sky, they exhaled in relief.

When disaster arrived, and chaos ensued, the Dharma Demon world clashed with the Demonic Essence World, and no one could predict with certainty that they would survive.

Li Hui looked up at the heavens and thought, “This is the moment. My legal form carried my divine spirit back to six hundred years ago, but I do not know where it went. I have returned. These long six hundred years—three hundred years spent on soul nurturing, unknowingly wasted, and the next three hundred years imprisoned in the Extreme Huan Continent, simultaneously guarding my partner and fighting against the immortals. I have grown increasingly calculative about resisting the immortals on Wan Nest Island.”

“Boom…” The sounds of thunder echoed across the seas and lands as an even greater calamity began, with layers of flickering shadows falling from the sky. Before long, everyone heard the booming.

“The Yin Moon Dynasty is more closely connected to the mortal realm now.” Li Hui returned home to the shores of Fragrant Lake, calling upon the Bai family members to gather nearby, advising them earnestly: “With the great calamity arising and the invasion of Demonic Essence, you will face many disasters in the future. If anything unusual happens in the Extreme Huan Continent, make sure to return quickly to this dwelling; you may find protection.”

“Ancestor Li, are you leaving?” the Bai family members asked in alarm.

“Ha ha ha, there is no feast that never ends. In the face of calamity, the Dharma Demon world hangs by a thread. As a practitioner of this era, I must contribute my part. I will leave today to resolve karmic issues in the Nine-Mystic Continent before returning to the Wutu Continent to pay homage to the Dark Immortals. No matter when, I will always be your uncle and Ancestor Li, and this dwelling will always be my home! Do you understand?” Li Hui could not elaborate too much, fearing it might cause panic. The Extreme Radiance cultivators had nurtured many people, and in crucial moments, they might have to be sacrificed.

The Bai family felt somewhat relieved. Since Ancestor Li said this dwelling was home, it meant he would surely return after wandering outside, though it might take a long time. But they worried for his safety outside.

“Alright, the Oath has dissipated. For many years, I have quietly assisted your cultivation, allowing you to advance ahead of others. The Nine Maangs practitioners command their disciples not to marry mortals to purify their bloodlines. In contrast, the Extreme Huans took a different path. They integrated all Dao bodies and robust bloodlines into ordinary people, allowing you all to cultivate. Once the calamity enters a difficult phase, the Extreme Huans will enable a large number of practitioners to rise up and protect our home.”

Li Hui had spent three hundred years in the Extreme Huan Continent. He had seen through all the plots and secrets, even knowing where the Extreme Radiance cultivators hid.

He nodded to everyone and added, “Consider my departure as a journey. You all should do what you need to do. If shadowy demonic creatures invade, do not be afraid; just search for talismans in my study to counter them. A few among you have studied talismans with me for a hundred years; your skills are not low, and you need not fear ordinary demons!”

“Ancestor Li’s great kindness!” As everyone knelt in gratitude, Li Hui’s figure dispersed, his voice echoing softly, “I’m leaving; take care!”

Li Hui had stayed by Fragrant Lake for three hundred years. Though he hadn’t returned often, watching generations of disciples grow from children to adults, guided by him onto the path of cultivation, and spending time teaching talisman methods, naturally created a deep bond.

So, before departing, he made many arrangements, spending nearly half of his family fortune. Though the courtyard was not large, it was full of vitality and talismans for the Bai family members.

Two hours later, Li Hui stepped onto the sea route towards the Nine-Mystic Continent. Countless fish darted beneath his feet, leaping out of the water, transforming into talismans.

“Boom, boom, boom…” From afar, meteors fell, their presence carrying the scent of Demonic Energy and a lingering aura of death. Many changes appeared beyond the Extreme Huan Continent.

The essence of heaven and earth was being strangled by the combined forces of Demonic Energy and the aura of death, revealing that the vast worlds were in conflict and destruction. In the future, if they could turn the tide against the Demonic Essence, the Dharma Demon world could surely be uplifted.

“Splash, splash, splash…” The water’s surface rolled as more talismans rose up.

These talismans were the demon talismans Li Hui had drawn over the past few decades, connecting the sea routes and seeking out Heavenly and Earthly Treasures beneath the sea. This time, with the dragon unleashed, they all returned, swirling around their master endlessly.

“Onward!”

With a soft command, thousands and thousands of demon talismans ignited.

In the next moment, brilliance flashed, and Li Hui had already arrived at the Nine-Mystic Continent, using Bai Ze’s divine eye to survey the world. He saw countless cities and mountains radiating golden light, with innumerable powerful practitioners floating in the air, scanning the surroundings.

“Who approaches?” A booming voice echoed from the skies.

Li Hui called out, “The world has changed. City lord of Mufeng City, Hao Wentong, returns from his travels.”

“Mufeng City? Is that the city lord Hao Wentong?” The collective divine thoughts in the sky intertwined, revealing shock and amazement. This was a formidable figure who had nearly dominated the Nine-Mystic Continent six hundred years ago! Who could have anticipated that he would retreat after a fleeting moment of glory? A high-level demon cultivator once said that, had it not been for this gentleman letting go in time, the Hao family would not have ranked only fifth; they might have had the chance to rise into the top three.

Even if Hao Wentong’s prominence was short-lived, the legacy he left gradually propelled the Hao family to the fifth position, truly remarkable and extraordinarily talented.

Li Hui casually produced a large seal, making the air tremble violently and resonating with Mufeng City from afar. Three breaths later, he transcended vast mountains and rivers and entered the city lord’s residence in Mufeng City.

“Who dares intrude upon the residence?” Dozens of figures appeared; they were guards trained at great expense by the city lord’s residence over the past six hundred years, and two venerable practitioners of the Traveling Realm arrived as well. Upon seeing the large seal in Li Hui’s hand, they froze momentarily, then their eyes revealed murderous intent as they raised their hands to unleash spirit treasures.
