Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 1125: Chapter 681: Sudden _2

“This…”

“What has happened?”

“Why is there such change that even the Earth Dragon turns over?”

“This sinister Yin Qi… Hurry, inform the ancestors!”

The surrounding cultivators and people from the Yousu clan, upon witnessing this, were all greatly horrified and scattered like birds and animals.

“Rumble rumble rumble…”

Yet as everyone had just fled, the ground began to shake more violently, and from the unfathomable and boundlessly dark stratum, a torrent of darkness suddenly burst forth.

It was an immense army, but not one made of the living. Mounted on barbaric beasts with cyan-black fur, donning rust-spotted ancient iron armor, wielding spears, they surged from the abyss, as if ancient wartime soldiers had been resurrected from the netherworld.

Dark and dense, countless soldiers galloped out, merging into a chillingly dark torrent that swept between the earth and the sky at a terrifying speed. Many cultivators’ Escape Light was too slow to evade, instantly crushed and swallowed by the dark stream, bursting into a spray of crimson, then silent forevermore.

“This…”

“What are these things?”

“Underworld Soldiers?”

“Where did these Underworld Soldiers come from?”

“Such might is not that of common ghosts or demons!”

“Could it be…!”

“Quick, go and notify the Ancestral Fox!”

“All cities, activate your Great Arrays immediately!”

Some Calamity Realm Void Immortals who had hurried over to check the situation also lost their composure and scrambled to hide, daring not to face the overwhelming tide of Underworld Soldiers head-on.

The Ten Thousand Tribulations Yin Spirit cannot breach the Sacred, and since ancient times, ghosts have been considered the lowest among all beings – feeble and oppressed from all sides. They only show prowess in lesser paths and in the left-handed way, unworthy of being noticed by the orthodox and righteous path.

But now, this legion of Underworld Soldiers has broken the norm. Under the Great Dark Heaven, dark clouds cover the sun, countless soldiers emerge from beneath the earth, and flashes of weapons emit terrifying murderous intent. That intent materializes, creating an actual force that even the distant watching Calamity Immortals feel their hearts quail in fear.

They sweep forward unstoppable, their weapons pointing where none can resist, turning everything to dust. That horrific intent sweeps across the heavens and the earth, consuming all life that couldn’t escape in time. Like clay oxen entering the sea, only to leave a mere splash before disappearing without a trace.

“Ah!!!”

“I’ll fight them!”

“Ancestors, save me!”

“Dad…”

Some slower cultivators, failing to hide, had no choice but to fiercely employ their Magical Treasures, casting various Spells and Divine Powers, trying to carve out a path to survival within this dark current.

But to no avail, at just one encounter, the luminance of the Magical Treasures was crushed. Attack and defense relics alike were penetrated and pulverized before that shocking murderous aura, their cultivating skills and Divine Powers ineffective, annihilated within the dark torrent.

In an instant, countless cultivators died, not even bones left behind, swept away into the distance by this dark current.

As the dark stream surged forward, a majestic city came into view, its structures flickering with Sprit Light, all kinds of Formations activated. Numerous cultivators and several Calamity Realm Void Immortals were standing by, ready for the onslaught.

This was one of the three major cities of Yousu Country, built on an Eighth Order Spirit Vein, with numerous Arrays arranged. Its main defense was at the Eighth Order, and its interconnected system, combined with the city’s million cultivators and several Calamity Realm Void Immortals from the Yousu Clan, could withstand an attack from True Immortal, at least temporarily.

But now…

“Boom boom boom!”

Yin Qi blanketed the sky, grievous energy pierced the earth, and the million-strong army of Underworld Soldiers surged forth. A black tidal wave rose on the horizon, unstoppable and thunderous, seemingly impossible to repel.

Within the city, Formations sparked to life, large swaths of Sprit Light shooting forth, with a million cultivators standing together to resist.

Several Calamity Realm Void Immortals, regardless of karma, executed their Great Magical Arts, summoning Samadhi True Fire, Great Sun True Flame, and divine lightning and wind, hurling them into the ranks of Underworld Soldiers.

Samadhi True Fire, Great Sun True Flame, divine lightning, and wind, these were supremely yang and firm, Great Magical Arts that restrain Underworld Ghosts.

But upon striking the ranks of Underworld Soldiers, they hardly stirred any waves. Although many soldiers were exterminated by the thunder and fire, their ranks were instantly replenished. The torrential murderous intent seemed not to diminish but intensified instead, becoming more ferocious and rapacious, like a crimson weapon thrusting towards the city.

“Boom!!!”

With a loud crash, the world trembled as the boundless army of Underworld Soldiers collided with the city, instantly cracking the interconnected top-quality Immortal Formations. Cultivators inside the city were affected; countless Array Masters spat blood, their Dantian exploding.

“This…!”

“The might of Extreme Dao, the power of Extreme Dao!”

“This army has been tempered by the forces of Extreme Dao!”

“Could these be the Taoist Soldiers forged by the Ancient Great Emperors?”

“How is that possible, how is that possible!”

Seeing this scene, let alone ordinary people, even several Calamity Realm Void Immortals showed horror on their faces, their eyes brimming with despair.

But all of this could not prevent that army, countless Underworld Soldiers falling one after another, striking like tidal waves, hammering against the city’s defensive Formation.

Under such an onslaught, even an Eighth Order Immortal Array began to falter, cracks appearing one after another, soon shattering into breaches.

At this rate, no one knew how long it would last, until finally…

“BOOM!!!”

With a final loud noise, the Formation shattered, the city walls collapsed, and amidst the horrified screams and wails of countless people, Underworld Soldiers swarmed into the city, trampling all life into dust, and turning everything into ashes.

“It’s no use!”

“Retreat!!!”

In desperate times, even birds of a feather fly separately; several Calamity Realm Void Immortals immediately activated their Moving Array Patterns, traversed through the void, and fled, and various Mahayana Unity cultivators also displayed their Divine Powers, frantically escaping for their lives.

But…

“Kill!!!”

Within the boundless tide of darkness, a cold voice suddenly erupted, followed by the sight of a rusty broken spear flying out, striking the void, instantly spraying blood, several Calamity Realm Void Immortals fell out of the void, each with a pierced chest, blood gushing out.

Darkness, chaos, blood, and slaughter, thus unfolded.

…

Several days later, in the Sacred Place of the Yousu Clan, in the capital of Su Country.

“Li City…has fallen.”

“There’s still no news from Yu City…”

“The life lamps of the Seventh Elder, the Ninth Elder, the Thirteenth Elder, the Fifteenth Elder have all gone out.”

“We’ve sent messages to the East Emperor Palace and various powers, but so far, no one has replied.”

“All the clan members within ten thousand li have been relocated to the capital, the Five Supreme Elders, the Four Supreme Elders have also rushed back.”

“The Xuanling Array has been fully activated, and resources like Spirit Stones and pills are being controlled.”

“…”

Before the Sky Fox Holy Sculpture, Yousu Yu, listening to reports from all sides, showed extreme fatigue in her eyes, which quickly returned to normal.

She is the Ancestral Fox, the pillar of the Yousu Clan, and she must stand strong no matter what, for if even she falls, there is no hope for the Yousu Clan.

But can she hold on?

She doesn’t know!

As the Ancestral Fox, as a True Immortal, this is the first time Yousu Yu has felt such confusion.

Extreme Dao Underworld Soldiers, emerging without warning, and in just three days’ time, brought Su Country to the brink of collapse, with now only the capital surviving of the three main cities, all others have fallen, innumerable clan members dead or wounded, and many Calamity Realm Void Immortals have perished, pushing the Primordial Yousu Fox Clan to the brink of extinction.

So sudden, so terrifying!

This is the Dark Chaos, this is the cataclysm of Divine Land.

Although they had some preparations due to the omens of the blood sun, it was still difficult to resist the horrifying Extreme Dao Underworld Soldiers.

Now, they can only consolidate and defend the Sacred Place of the capital with the entire clan’s strength, betting on a glimmer of hope.

Truly, just a glimmer!

There’s no need to elaborate on the terror of Dark Chaos; even Celestial Gate Holy Lands, Imperial Dynasties, and Ancient Clans with the most top-tier True Immortals and Saint Lords wielding Imperial Arms could potentially be annihilated. True Immortals bleed, Saint Lords die, Imperial Arms lost to the mortal world.

This is the great horror within the chaos, unpredictable, with no way to avoid it, all down to luck – with good luck, even Third-class True Immortals might escape disaster; bad luck, and the most supreme True Immortals, Extreme Dao Imperial Arms could be destroyed.

Looking at the current situation, the luck of the Yousu Clan is not good. Those Extreme Dao Underworld Soldiers, even if not the greatest terror within the chaos, rank middle to top tier, lacking Imperial Arms, their hope for resistance is slim.

But she has no choice, she must hold the position and seek help from outside.

But who can she ask for help?

As the Primordial Fox Clan, the Yousu Clan, though having formed many connections through their diplomatic dances, how much assurance can those relationships provide?

Not to mention that with the sudden cataclysm, the whole world is in trouble, not just the Yousu Clan. How many people are already unable to save themselves, let alone spare the energy to aid others?

Therefore…

“Clan Leader!”

Her thoughts not yet settled, she was interrupted. An ecstatic Calamity Realm Void Immortal rushed in and said to her: “The Heavenly Girl has sent a message; she is bringing reinforcements and is on her way, telling us to hold on as best as we can. Once she arrives, she will surely resolve our crisis!”
