Chapter 1377: Under the Great Calamity, All Life Perishes (Part 2) Editor: Henyee Translations

“The calamity has erupted!

Hurry and summon the Patriarch for aid!”

The news of the calamity’s descent spread rapidly across the upper echelons of every immortal sect in the Xuanming Immortal Domain.

Panic, fear, and a chilling sense of doom gripped everyone who heard it.

Some learned of the catastrophe only to realize that the Calamity Qi had already reached their doorstep, as the sky in the distance had turned pitch black, obscuring all sight.

The overwhelming sense of death and destruction permeated the hearts of every soul within the Immortal Domain.

The source of the calamity was not limited to just Liuyun Valley.

In various regions of the vast Immortal Domain, strange and sudden changes had occurred.

Calamity Qi had erupted, and eerie trees had grown, their twisted shadows spreading destruction far and wide, consuming everything in their path.

Even the very rules of the Immortal Domain were being twisted by these malevolent forces.

High-level immortals could sense that the heavens had become bloodthirsty, as if the entire world craved nothing but destruction.

After a million years of peace, the Great Calamity had finally arrived!

Across the domain, every immortal sect was in despair, scrambling to take action.

Some great immortal cities that stood tall on desolate plains immediately shut their gates, activating powerful defensive formations to cut themselves off from all external forces.

Even though countless lives were lost, and millions perished to the Calamity Qi, no one dared to open the gates even for a moment.

Many of the major immortal sects did the same, sealing off their mountain gates and abandoning their disciples and vassals across their territories.

“My lord!

We’ve lost contact with the Immortal Lords!”

“Those damnable cowards!

They gorged on offerings for centuries, and now they won’t even lift a finger!”

“Damn it, they’re all dogs!”

“Run!

Head west!

Flee as far as you can!”

“Go!

Don’t look back—abandon the city and escape!”

Among the lower-tier cities and minor sects under the immortal factions, despair reigned supreme.

When the Calamity Qi arrived, they found that the almighty immortals who had once seemed omnipotent were now nowhere to be found, unreachable.

Cursing their absent protectors, city lords and sect leaders could only urge their citizens and disciples to flee in any direction that might offer temporary safety.

Beyond that, there was nothing they could do, for they too had been abandoned.

As the Calamity Qi spread like a dark shadow across the Immortal Domain, it cast a suffocating fear over everyone.

With no means of defense, the various factions had no choice but to flee in the opposite direction, seeking even the faintest chance of survival.

Even if it meant running until they dropped dead, none dared to stop.

The fear of the Calamity Qi had burned itself into their very souls.

In just a few short days since the calamity had erupted, over ten billion lives had been lost across the Immortal Domain.

Millions of immortal cities and sects had been consumed by the Calamity Qi, reduced to wasteland.

This was true devastation, a disaster of unimaginable proportions.

However, the terror of the calamity extended beyond the mere destruction of sects and cities.

As chaos spread throughout the Immortal Domain, countless mortals and low-level cultivators sought refuge, fleeing towards the few remaining areas untouched by the Calamity Qi, hoping for the protection of the immortal sects.

Yet, time and again, they were met with rejection.

The sects, struggling to protect themselves, had no room for others.

Under the immense pressure of the calamity, the desperate masses began to unravel.

Over time, violence and madness spread among them.

At first, the conflicts arose from disputes among fleeing cultivators.

But soon, these tensions spread to the masses, igniting a storm of bloodshed.

In the face of imminent death, unchecked desires began to fester in the hearts of many.

Those who had long harbored secret lusts or grudges found themselves giving in to their baser instincts.

Men who had yearned for women they could never have now revealed their true natures, taking by force what they could not win.

Small officials, once oppressed and scorned, now turned on their superiors, venting their rage with violence.

Others, once restrained by law or honor, became consumed by hatred and anger, acting with unrestrained savagery.

Perhaps it was the influence of the Calamity Qi, but bloodshed and chaos spread rapidly.

Along the roads of escape, blood was spilled, and the violence escalated.

“You old bastard!

I’ve put up with you long enough!

You berate and insult me every day!

If not for that bit of spirit stones, I’d have killed you long ago!”

“Slut!

I’ve been so good to you, and you still refuse me!

Now, you’re mine!

No one will take you from me!”

“Hand over everything you’ve got, or no one leaves here alive!”

Under the shadow of the calamity, whether immortal or mortal, everyone fell into despair.

In this atmosphere of desperation, conflicts exploded across the lands, and those fleeing the disaster turned on each other.

In their desperation, they slaughtered one another, wielding their weapons against both friends and strangers alike.

The lands were drenched in blood, the flames of destruction spreading to every corner.

Both mortals and cultivators alike unleashed their darkest desires, and with nothing left to lose, they turned to violence in a last bid for survival.

While this was not caused directly by the Great Calamity, it was certainly one of its effects.

The calamity had shattered the very fabric of society, leading to an unprecedented collapse of order and morality.

In this era of destruction, only the sects with Earth Immortals still stood a chance at resistance.

“The Patriarch has arrived!”

“The Immortal Lord has come to save us!

We pledge our eternal loyalty to the Immortal Lord!”

“Our sect will serve the Immortal Lord forevermore!”

In the face of the calamity, even the Earth Immortal sects were soon besieged.

Yet unlike lesser factions, these sects had Earth Immortals who descended from their sacred mountains to combat the disaster.

In the face of the endless Calamity Qi, mighty figures strode across the sky, bearing their Earth Immortal lands like divine beings.

With a mere wave of their hands, their domain’s might manifested, spanning thousands of miles, and in an instant, it suppressed the chaos around them.

Seeing this, billions of survivors sang their praises, countless factions wept with gratitude.

In this Great Calamity, only Earth Immortals could provide salvation.

“Roar!!”

Within the Calamity Qi, eerie shadows writhed and howled, but they were swiftly obliterated by the overwhelming force of the Earth Immortals’ domains.

While these malevolent entities were not individually strong, their sheer strangeness made them deadly.

Only the primordial forces of an Earth Immortal’s domain could suppress them.

This was why, for millennia, the prophecy had foretold that only Earth Immortals could survive the Great Calamity.

True Immortals might possess strength, but in the face of such a calamity, they were but a drop in the ocean.

“Seal the gates for three days!”

“Those who seek refuge shall have three days under the protection of the immortal sect.”

After suppressing the first wave of Calamity Qi with the power of their domains, the Earth Immortals of the major sects spoke in booming voices.

Upon hearing this, the millions of beings who had found shelter were overwhelmed with gratitude, and no one dared to express dissatisfaction.

In this Great Calamity, they had seen the horrors firsthand.

To have even a moment’s safety under the protection of an Earth Immortal was a blessing beyond measure.
