Hong Yun walked in, sword in hand, her gaze sweeping across the surroundings. The once bright planets had all dimmed, devoid of any sign of life. Her Sword Intent was as deep as an abyss, flowing across the galaxy, freezing time and space, and unleashing endless killing intent that swept across all directions.
Hong Yun was enraged. She drew her sword and charged, a dazzling Sword-Ray slicing through the darkness. This strike carried all her fury. Those planets were home to hundreds of millions of lives, now slaughtered by that damned Catastrophe Clan. How could she not be furious?
She unleashed her full power, holding nothing back. The Hailing had no choice but to take it seriously, for it sensed a threat. A black trident appeared in its hand, and its aura suddenly shifted, becoming even more terrifying, causing the entire galaxy to tremble.
Boom!
Two figures traversing the galaxy collided suddenly, the aftershocks sweeping across billions of star systems, and swathes of Xingyun exploding with a deafening roar. Hong Yun flashed behind the Hailing, slashing at its head with her sword. The Hailing snorted coldly, turned abruptly, and simultaneously swept its sword across the air, blocking Hong Yun's fatal blow.
"Fellow tribesmen, go forth, plunder, slaughter, do whatever you desire, turn this universe upside down, and let the creatures here rediscover our Catastrophe." The Hailing's voice was shrill and distorted, carrying a hint of manic excitement, each word brimming with hysterical fervor, as if proclaiming a grand carnival.
Upon hearing the command, the myriad Catastrophe fell silent for a moment before erupting in a deafening roar that shattered everything. Countless grotesque and twisted figures simultaneously raised their heads, their scarlet eyes churning with frenzied excitement, and their throats rumbling with beast-like howls.
Without further hesitation, they transformed into streaks of pitch-black torrents, tearing through the void and rushing madly towards all corners of the universe. Claws ripped stars apart, and gigantic maws devoured Xingyun. Wherever they passed, order collapsed, life was extinguished, leaving only boundless darkness and wailing.
Hong Yun knew that with the Hailing present, she couldn't possibly stop the billions of Catastrophe, so she didn't intervene. She took a deep breath, slowly opened her mouth, and her voice echoed throughout the entire Myriad Phenomena Star Domain, "Children, whether you are currently undergoing training or in seclusion, please put that aside for now. The Great Void is currently being invaded by alien races called Catastrophe. Countless years ago, they descended upon this place, plundering the Hearts of Heart of the Earthfall, slaughtering all living beings in the universe, committing countless atrocities, and being inherently cruel. The four universes were almost completely destroyed by them. Just when all hope seemed lost, the Lord of the God Realm appeared. He led the four universes and repelled the Catastrophe, restoring order to the four universes. However, these years have passed, and these hateful Catastrophe are still not giving up. They have returned, and now, just like before, they are destroying our world bit by bit. I believe that you would never want to see your home destroyed and occupied by alien races. The Great Void needs you now, and the forces behind you, to protect it."
These words echoed in the ears of every being in the Myriad Phenomena Star Domain. Some were exploring a secret realm, hoping to gain a great fortuitous opportunity; some were facing certain death, trying to break through to a higher realm; and some young couples were having a quiet date... So many beings were busy with their own affairs, but after hearing these words, they did not hesitate and set off from the Myriad Phenomena Star Domain, heading towards their respective forces to inform them of Great Void's plight. These forces did not disappoint Hong Yun, all sending their strongest members to suppress the Catastrophe. Some ancient forces, seemingly aware of some secrets and understanding the horror and cruelty of the Catastrophe, left only a few embers of hope, while all the rest, as long as they had the fighting power, mobilized.
Of course, inevitably, not all forces acted this way. There were also those who were afraid of death. Upon hearing of this, their first action was to recall their disciples who were away, and then they decisively created a small world to hide in.
Such forces are not insignificant, but none of that matters anymore. Some will die, some will survive; this is the way of the world. Those forces that hide are nothing but dust beneath the Great Void, unable to stir up even the slightest trouble. The true backbone has already stood tall in times of crisis, its boundless fighting spirit soaring to the heavens, enough to crush all Catastrophe.
"This is... God Lord Taixu? What exactly is the disaster she is talking about?" Lin Fan asked in confusion.
"Shall we go take a look?" Jianxin said.
The two left the Myriad Phenomena Star Domain, not knowing where to look for the Catastrophe, just wandering around aimlessly, hoping to stumble upon it by chance. After several days of searching, they finally found the Catastrophe. There were three of them, and several young cultivators were being chased by them. One of them was too slow and was devoured on the spot. The remaining cultivators were so frightened that their legs went weak, and they fled for their lives.
These Catastrophe were in no hurry, Youyou following behind. As soon as one of them was about to die, they would immediately rush up and devour it alive, just like a cat toying with a mouse, eating it when it was tired of playing with it, which was extremely cruel.
"Brother, help!" A cultivator noticed Lin Fan and Jianxin and immediately flew towards them. It seemed like he was asking for help, but in reality, he wanted to use Lin Fan and Jianxin as scapegoats so that he would have enough time to escape. He was extremely vicious.
As expected, these cultivators simply passed by the two of them, showing no intention of stopping to fight the Catastrophe together. Lin Fan and Jianxin didn't care; their goal was the Catastrophe, and they wanted to see what Catastrophe was. Now that they saw it, they couldn't help but frown.
"These are the Catastrophe?" Lin Fan looked at the Catastrophe and found that apart from their ugly appearance, they didn't seem to have anything special about them.
Without uttering a word, Jianxin drew his longsword with a clang, its cold light sweeping across the galaxy. With a single strike, he severed the head of one of the Catastrophe. The Catastrophe roared furiously, as if to say, "You lowly ant, how dare you swing your sword at me? You're courting death!"
Black mist surged around him like a tide, and countless pitch-black bone spikes shot out from his body, their decaying malevolent aura sweeping in from all directions. Sensing the threat of the bone spikes, Jianxin was forced to stop and swung his sword to block them.
Just then, the Catastrophe suddenly appeared, its giant hand slamming down, attempting to smash Jianxin's head. However, Jianxin was prepared; the instant it appeared, he thrust his sword forward, piercing directly through its palm. The pain caused it to roar, and it was thoroughly enraged, using its single horn between its eyebrows to strike Jianxin.
Jianxin reacted with lightning speed. After thrusting out his sword, he immediately created space, causing the Catastrophe's attack to miss. Seizing this opportunity, Jianxin used his Movement Method to appear before it and plunged his sword into its heart, killing it instantly!
"This Catastrophe is nothing more than this." Jianxin sheathed his longsword, held it horizontally in front of him, and gently wiped the blade with two fingers. His expression was as calm as still water, and countless Sword Intent surrounded him.
"Holy crap, junior brother, when did you become so classy?" Lin Fan stared in disbelief from behind.
Please follow me, everyone! I'm afraid you won't see my new book when I release it, and that would make me really sad, hehe.
