Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone

Chapter 959: Chapter 718: Heavenly Dao’s Annihilation of the World (Part 2)

Countless natural disasters erupted, concentrated in their explosion, destroying the buildings on the surface, annihilating countless mortals.

The Purple Mansion World is a world of cultivating immortality, with various mystical aspects that can withstand all kinds of disasters. In the moment when calamities descended, these cultivators flew up one after another, avoiding the catastrophe; yet the mortals at the bottom rung lived with considerable hardship, not much different from those in feudal societies on Earth, with very low resistance to natural disasters, they all walked towards destruction in the face of calamities.

Hulala!

In certain areas, the sky started pouring rain, dark clouds pressed upon the void, raining continuously for ten days; in other regions, the sun became exceptionally scorching, burning everything, the land dried, and rivers ran dry.

Silver lightning slashed down from the void, specifically targeting cultivators.

In the face of such calamities, Qi Refining cultivators, Foundation Establishment cultivators, Purple Mansion cultivators, etc., perished unexpectedly.

Such natural disasters and unrest continued for three months.

After three months, various flora and fauna in the Purple Mansion World sharply decreased by as much as ninety-eight percent, the majority of mortals headed towards extinction, most plants and animals went extinct, only a few managed to hide in grotto heavens, escaping the calamity. Not just bottom-level mortals, but also many low-level cultivators perished in celestial tribulations.

Lu Xuanji sat in the void, gazing at the ruined Purple Mansion World, a world that had experienced a great extinction, and his originally cold heart was touched at this moment, wanting to speak something, yet found himself unable to utter words.

Heavenly Dao is annihilating the world!

Heavenly Dao is emotionless, Heavenly Dao lacks human emotions, if sentient beings are useful to it, naturally, it helps them develop, birthing one after another splendid civilization; but if sentient beings hinder it, it will resort to means of forcibly destroying worlds. Heavenly Dao lacks emotion, it only possesses the desire for evolution and the urge for survival!

The Undying Demon Monarch fiercely invaded, and the Heavenly Dao of the Purple Mansion World sensed crisis, beginning to slaughter sentient beings, retracting its own energy, accumulating its energy in preparation for the final assault. During the recent annihilation, many mortals, as well as low-level beings, and low-level cultivators were all killed.

Cultivators below Golden Core mostly dispersed, transforming into nourishment for the World Origin.

The world is deteriorating, annihilation continues.

After clearing out low-level mortals and low-level cultivators, it began gradually clearing out mid and low-level cultivators.

Those excess people started being abandoned step by step.

The spiritual qi of the Purple Mansion World gradually headed towards depletion, many spirit veins became dried up, many spirit caves became desolate, world laws became sluggish, progressively entering the End of Dharma Era, and even the era of absolute spiritual depletion.

As spiritual qi dried up, Golden Core cultivators screamed in agony, Nascent Soul cultivators wept, Divinity Transformation cultivators howled in despair, the spiritual qi within their bodies began to leak out, cultivation started regressing, the intact Golden Core, immortal Nascent Soul, immortal primordial spirit, etc., started collapsing, regressing to Purple Mansion cultivators, and even mortals.

Without spiritual qi, cultivation cannot be maintained, completely degenerating into mortals.

At the moment of degenerating into mortals, longevity became impossible, turning old one after another, and eventually passed away right there.

In the Purple Mansion World plunged into spiritual depletion, all cultivators below Void Refining realm were completely annihilated, dispersed. Only upon reaching the Void Refining realm, could one roam the cosmos, absorbing Starlight Power, Power of Sun and Moon, Void Energy, etc., converting it into one’s magical power, thus escape the constraints of the Purple Mansion World, able to survive without spiritual qi.

The world’s restrictions were futile for cultivators above the Void Refining realm.

Even the Heavenly Dao annihilating the world could only destroy cultivators below Void Refining realm, as for cultivators above Void Refining realm, in times of crisis, they could escape into the starry sky.

The Heavenly Dao, it’s powerless.

Buzzz!

At that moment, the Heavenly Dao operated its laws, a thread of authority was bestowed upon Void Refining cultivators, Harmonization cultivators, Tribulation Crossing cultivators.

Cultivators of these three levels, upon receiving the augmentation of Heavenly Dao authority, their combat power would significantly increase.

Even the weakest would receive an augmentation of three layers.

If the strength of the physical body was high enough and the primordial spirit resilient enough, the amplification brought by Heavenly Dao authority would be even greater.

Above the endless void, Lu Xuanji and Qinglian stood high up, looking at the world post-annihilation, their hearts fluctuating in change, at this moment, the world was extremely desolate.

Lu Xuanji said coldly: "The way of heaven, detracts from the insufficient while giving to the excess. Heavenly Dao is certainly conniving, directly eradicating cultivators in the first six layers, eliminating these excess cultivators; then preserving the last three layers of cultivators, granting Heavenly Dao authority, providing augmentation. Truly divide and conquer, maximizing benefits, certainly conniving!"

Qinglian said: "For every increase, there must be a decrease. The authority we gain comes from nowhere else but from the extinction of sentient beings."

Lu Xuanji said: "Heavenly Dao is emotionless, to resist the Undying Demon Monarch, it can only act this way! In the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, there is no good or evil, killing sentient beings is not considered evil, nurturing countless sentient beings is not considered pleasurable. Viewing Heavenly Dao with human perspective, how laughable, how ignorant!"

Speaking like this, he seemed quite magnanimous.

Yet unconsciously he clenched his fist, his heart filled with unease.

Why does Heavenly Dao breed sentient beings, foster races like Human Race, Demon Race, Monster Race, Barbarian Race, Divine Race, etc., all to better its own evolution; Heavenly Dao, in order to massacre sentient beings, destroy individual life forms, is also for its own better evolution.

In the eyes of Heavenly Dao, all sentient beings, low-level cultivators, mid-level cultivators, high-level cultivators, etc., are just tools.

Tools are categorized into useful tools and useless tools.

Those useless tools are naturally destroyed, to avoid wasting resources.

As for those in Void Refining, Harmonization, Tribulation Crossing, etc., all are useful tools, Heavenly Dao not only does not destroy them, but instead grants authority, forming augmentations for their cultivation. Even opens part of the Heavenly Dao authority, allowing cultivators to observe laws, become more familiar with their circulation.

In such circumstances, the speed of a cultivator’s progress is extremely fast.

The Heavenly Dao is equivalent to activating cheats, a backdoor for cultivators, with such circumstances, the speed of cultivation becomes incredibly fast.

One day of arduous cultivation is equivalent to ten days of arduous cultivation in the past.

In these circumstances, Lu Xuanji felt his cultivation improving continuously.

"Heavenly Dao!"

Lu Xuanji muttered complexly.

...

Feiyu World.

The ancestral land of the Undying Demon Race, massive arrays began operating, arrays were moving, runes flickering, destructive energy connected together. At some key nodes, various Void Refining cultivators, Hedong cultivators, Tribulation Crossing cultivators, and others, stood at corresponding nodes, urging the array formations.

Numerous Supreme Arrays began operating, as if an immeasurable beast had awakened, seemingly about to devour people in the next moment.

At the center of the array, the Undying Demon Monarch sat there, urging Secret Techniques, causing the void to flash, countless spiritual qi swept over, continually condensing into droplets of mist, the mist operating, directly absorbed into the body.

The emaciated body began to fill out.

Dried qi and blood began recovering.

The heavily damaged origin was gradually restoring.

Having been sealed for these thousands of years, the Undying Demon Monarch barely held on through powerful Secret Techniques, but itself had also incurred significant consumption.

Now, though able to hold on, its origin was also becoming exhausted.

Must rely on these arrays to promptly offset its own consumption, within a shorter time, recovered to the peak moment. During this recovery process, stability takes priority, it cannot leave behind even a trace of hidden danger or dark wounds. Any slight hidden danger may require paying several times, or even tens of times the losses in the future to offset.

Whew!

Spiritual qi surged, spiritual qi from Feiyu World flooded in, half of it gathered, entirely absorbed by him.

It seemed he absorbed too vigorously, causing Feiyu World’s spiritual qi to drop by as much as three layers.
