Oh no! My grandmother made me shoulder the responsibility for eight households!

Chapter 519 The Great Calamity Arrives

Zhongzhou.

The external channels have been fully opened.

The massive, ten-thousand-mile-long rift suddenly exploded open.

A dark red light surged out from within, dyeing the entire sky crimson.

Then, a three-headed True Monarch-level extraterrestrial creature emerged from the rift.

The first one was entirely black, covered in thick, dense scales, each as large as a washbasin, with edges as sharp as knives.

It has two curved horns on its head, with the tips pointing forward, like two sharp swords or two sickles.

His eyes were like two black flames.

It stood at the edge of the crack, looking up at the sky and howling.

"roar--"

A roar shook the void for miles around.

Wherever it passed, the earth cracked, the grass and trees withered, the rivers dried up, and the land turned scorched black, barren of everything.

The second one is entirely white, without scales, and its skin is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting everything around it.

It has six eyes, each emitting a chilling blue light.

Six eyes move simultaneously, each looking in a different direction, leaving no blind spots.

Wherever it passed, the air froze and time stood still.

Birds froze in mid-air, leaves froze on branches, everything seemed to be frozen in time.

The third head was entirely crimson, with black flames burning on its body. The temperature was so high that it ignited the air, filling it with a burnt smell.

Wherever it went, everything was burned, even stones were burned to ashes, which were scattered by the wind.

Behind the three True Monarch-level creature, countless extraterrestrial beings of the Celestial Immortal and Human Immortal levels followed.

There are hundreds of Celestial Immortals and tens of thousands of Human Immortals.

It surged out of the cracks like a tidal wave, spreading in all directions.

Things that fly in the sky and run on the ground spread outward from the center of the crack, like a giant black firework exploding in the air.

It falls on every corner of Central China.

The Central Plains were completely engulfed in a sea of ​​war.

The protective formation of Tianyuan City is fully activated.

A golden light enveloped the entire city, and the runes on the light envelope flowed wildly.

Zhang Yiyuan stood on the city wall, holding the Tianyuan Sword.

White hair danced in the wind, and his white robe was stained with black blood, making it impossible to discern its original color.

He was surrounded by five celestial elders and thirty-six city guards.

Everyone's face was deathly pale, and everyone's hands were trembling, but no one retreated.

A celestial-level extraterrestrial creature lunged at the city wall, its body as large as a mountain, its wingspan covering half the city.

Zhang Yiyuan unleashed a sword strike.

A white sword light ripped through the sky, cleaving the creature in two from head to tail.

Black blood poured down like a torrential rain, landing on the light shield with a sizzling sound, corroding small pits and emitting white smoke.

But when one falls, ten more take its place; when ten fall, even more surge forward.

They can't kill them all, they simply can't kill them all.

Zhang Yiyuan gritted his teeth and continued to slash with his sword.

His hands were trembling, his sword was shaking, and his blood was flowing.

But he cannot stop; if he stops, the city will be gone, and he will not survive.

-

On the mountaintop of Kunlun Domain.

Jiang Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his white robe stained with black blood, like splashes of ink.

Xiao Yi and the elders guarded the core of the array, pouring spiritual energy into it without restraint.

A celestial-level extraterrestrial creature lunged at the mountain peak. It was not large in size, but its speed was terrifying, like a black lightning bolt.

Jiang Xuan raised his hand and slapped the thing into a meat patty from a distance.

"boom--"

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and bone fragments were scattered all over the place.

But Jiang Xuan's hands were trembling slightly.

-

Qingyun Sect.

The sect leader, wielding the sect's treasured Azure Cloud Sword, slew a Celestial Immortal-level extraterrestrial creature with a single strike, but even more surged forward.

The elders led their disciples in forming a battle formation to fight the enemy. When someone fell, someone else took their place.

One after another, row after row.

Like ocean waves, they surge forward one after another.

The ground was littered with corpses, some of which were from extraterrestrial creatures, and others were from disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

The blood stained the bluestone slabs in front of the mountain gate red.

-

Sword Thirteen of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion stood in front of the mountain gate.

With the Immortal Execution Sword in hand, a crimson sword light drew an arc in front of him, like a blood-red rainbow.

A human-immortal level extraterrestrial creature charged forward and was cleaved in two by the sword light.

It charged at both ends and was cleaved into four pieces.

Three heads, four heads, five heads.

Sword Thirteen slashed and killed head after head with each sword strike.

But there are too many of them; we simply can't kill them all.

-

Although first-rate forces such as Penglai Immortal Island, Mount Sumeru, and the four great dynasties are all embroiled in fierce battles, they are still able to hold on.

But those small sects and small cities.

There was no protective formation, no sect-protecting treasure, and no celestial ancestor.

They were slaughtered and devoured by extraterrestrial creatures.

The cultivators fought desperately, but the difference in their cultivation levels was too great.

Cultivators below the Celestial Realm level are no match for these monsters, whose minimum strength is at least Celestial Realm.

Ordinary people hid in cellars, caves, and under beds.

They huddled together, trembling, praying that the monsters wouldn't find them.

-

Hehuan Valley was also attacked by more than ten celestial beings.

Yan Ruyu led Zhao Ming and Liu Yu to meet the challenge.

Yan Ruyu is the pinnacle of celestial immortals, just one step away from becoming a true lord.

But she couldn't withstand the attack from more than ten Celestial-level beings.

Needless to say, Zhao Ming and Liu Yu were also involved.

Zhao Ming was slapped away by a mid-stage Celestial Immortal from beyond the realm, crashing into the wall of the Hehuan Palace.

"boom--"

Half of the main hall collapsed, and bricks and tiles fell down with a crash.

He crawled out of the rubble, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, his face as white as paper.

Liu Yu was besieged by two late-stage Celestial Immortals and was struggling to hold on.

She had several wounds on her body, her purple dress was soaked in blood, and her face was deathly pale.

A celestial being at the peak of its power, an extraterrestrial creature, lunged at Yan Ruyu.

Its body was as large as a mountain, completely black, and its eyes glowed with a dark red light, like two will-o'-the-wisps.

Yan Ruyu formed a hand seal, and a pink beam of light shot out from her palms, striking the thing.

"boom--"

The creature was blasted back several steps, leaving a large hole in its body from which black blood gushed out like a fountain.

But it didn't die; instead, it went even crazier.

It opened its mouth, and a black flame shot out from its throat, heading straight for Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu dodged, the flames grazing her shoulder as they flew past.

It landed on the protective array behind it, and the array creaked and groaned, almost breaking apart.

The second extraterrestrial creature, at the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm, was incredibly fast, striking Yan Ruyu like a black lightning bolt.

Yan Ruyu had no time to dodge and was slapped on the shoulder.

"boom--"

He was sent flying backward, passing through the great formation, and crashing into the wall of the Hehuan Palace.

A large crater was smashed into the wall, and cracks spread outwards like a spider web, making a "crackling" sound.

Yan Ruyu fell off the wall and knelt on one knee.

A trickle of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, bright red, dripping onto her white dress—a shocking sight.

"Master!"

Mei Jiu Niang, who was directing her disciples to provide spiritual power to the formation from a distance, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this scene, her voice even changing tone.

Yan Ruyu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, stood up, and said, "It's nothing."

As he spoke, he passed through the formation again to confront the extraterrestrial creatures.

If they were to join forces and break through the formation, Hehuan Valley would definitely not survive, and she would have no face to face the ancestors of Hehuan Sect.

But some things are destined to be in vain. Yan Ruyu had just taken to the sky when she was bombarded down again.

"boom--"

She was slammed into the ground, the earth cracked open, and dirt flew everywhere.

Yan Ruyu crawled out of the crack.

She was covered in dirt, and her white dress was torn in several places, tattered and tattered.

His white hair was disheveled and draped over his shoulders, and blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the ground drop by drop.

Mei Jiu Niang rushed over, supported her, and tears streamed down her face.

"Master, let's retreat! We don't want Hehuan Valley anymore!"

Yan Ruyu shook her head.

"We cannot retreat."

"Hehuan Valley is our root."

"If the root is gone, the Hehuan Sect will cease to exist."

Mei Jiu Niang's tears fell, pattering down her cheeks.

"But Master, you—"

Yan Ruyu took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom.

The porcelain bottle was small, entirely black, and covered with densely packed runes that looked like tadpoles swimming around.

She uncorked the bottle and poured out a pill.

The elixir was entirely black, emitting a cold, eerie light, like a black star.

The medicinal fragrance was faint, but the moment Mei Jiu Niang smelled it, her face turned pale.

"Master, what is this—"

"Banned drugs".

Yan Ruyu looked at the pill, a bitter look flashing in her eyes.

The forbidden medicine of the Hehuan Sect can cause a surge in cultivation after consumption, but at the cost of lifespan.

If a celestial being consumes this, their power can surge to the level of a half-step True Monarch, or even the early stage of a True Monarch.

But the price is a lifespan of three thousand years.

Yan Ruyu has lived for nearly two thousand years, and she has less than three thousand years left to live.

If she takes this pill, she will burn away all her lifespan.

But Yan Ruyu did not hesitate and put the pill directly into her mouth.

Mei Jiu Niang lunged forward to snatch it.

"Master! No!"

But it was too late.

Her hand was halfway out when the pill was already at Yan Ruyu's lips.
