What Exactly Is a Calamity?

Zhang Shuai stared blankly at the fire lotus, understanding in his heart that this was likely the legendary Undying Calamityfire Lotus.

A ninth-star supreme immortal material, a peerless treasure said to have been born from the fires of a Calamity, containing a trace of the true essence of indestructibility!

"Buzz..."

Suddenly, the pure white ball of flame at the center of the Undying Calamityfire Lotus violently rippled.

Then, a small humanoid outline—a "phantom of fire" composed entirely of the purest blazing white flames—slowly drifted out from the lotus's core.

The phantom had no distinct facial features, yet it radiated an indescribable spirituality and ancient, desolate aura. It seemed like a sprite born from flames, yet also like the manifestation of some supreme law.

The instant it appeared, the temperature of the entire lava lake seemed to soar to another level. The boundless aura of calamity fire grew more than tenfold denser, and a terrifying pressure erupted with a boom—overbearing beyond measure, as if it could command all flames in the world and judge the birth and death of all things!

"Hm?"

Not daring to be careless, he was forced backward by the terrifying pressure, sent flying several hundred zhang before he barely stabilized himself. His eyes were filled with shock and horror!

"This... this is..."

Zhang Shuai stared fixedly at the tiny phantom of fire. This thing actually made his scalp tingle.

Could this be the legendary spirit of world-destroying
