Chapter 1454: Natural Calamity
Seeing the sky suddenly darken.
Wei Donghai and Zui Wuya were greatly alarmed and bewildered. After exchanging a glance, they quickly looked up.
"Something is not right..."
"It is indeed a bit bizarre. It is just past noon, how could it suddenly become so dark?"
As everyone looked up one after another, they finally saw that there was no light in the sky. In the increasingly gloomy sky, the sun had vanished without a trace!
Immediately, the reclusive elders became even more astonished.
"Where did the sun go?"
"Could it be a solar eclipse anomaly?"
During this brief moment of surprise, the surroundings became so dark that one could not see their own fingers in front of them. However, this did not stump these reclusive experts who had cultivated bitterly for many years. With a slight circulation of their spiritual energy, spiritual light gathered at their fingertips, illuminating their bewildered faces.
Waiting quietly for several breaths, the sky still did not brighten. Wei Donghai and the others felt something was fishy and had no choice but to consult Ancient Sage Luo Hongfei.
Unfortunately, when they found Ancient Sage Luo Hongfei, he was also looking confused.
"I have never encountered such a thing either. Perhaps, it is just a temporary solar eclipse."
Hearing these words, the crowd was half-believing and half-doubting. They dispersed to wait quietly for the sky to brighten.
Who would have thought that this wait would last for months.
After experiencing months of living in the dark, the reclusive experts in the village could no longer hold their composure. They gathered at the village entrance with alarmed and bewildered expressions, looking as if they were about to start an argument.
"Why is it like this?"
"If the sun still does not come out, we can only continue to live in the dark from now on. Relying solely on divine sense to perceive the surroundings is not a solution. Let alone collecting manure, we cannot even calm our minds for daily cultivation."
"Even we are at our wits' end and our states of mind are in such disarray. I do not know how difficult it must be for ordinary cultivators and mortal citizens."
"Sigh, no matter how anxious we are, it seems to be of no use!"
"Is there no other way but to wait for the sun to appear?"
"What else can we do!"
Hearing these anxious words, Ancient Sage Luo Hongfei's expression also turned stern. After gazing at the pitch-black sky for a long time, he solemnly gave an order to end the argument.
"Everyone."
"I have lived in vain for all these years, but I have never seen such a bizarre phenomenon. You and I have some cultivation base and are already finding it so difficult and anxious. The situation of the common people in the world must be extremely dire by now!"
"The situation is urgent. Everyone, split up immediately and act. You must find out the reason for the sun's disappearance, otherwise, things will be disastrous!"
Hearing these words, the mighty figures in the village all responded firmly, scattering and flying into the sky one after another.
However, the matter was far more complex than Luo Hongfei had imagined.
Dozens of mighty figures searched for a long time but still found nothing. Some rushed into the sea of stars but did not find the slightest trace of the sun. The sea of stars had become extremely dim. Some traveled all over the Cloud Planet, and wherever their divine sense swept, everything was withered, turning the place into a purgatory.
The entire world had plunged into endless darkness. The unknown and panic swept across the entire Cloud Planet.
In just two years.
Everywhere in the world withered, and not even one in a hundred mortals survived.
With the sun gone for so long, all kinds of living beings continued to die out. The spiritual energy in the air became increasingly thin. Even ordinary spirit herbs used to refine common pills could no longer be easily found, and their value suddenly became extremely precious. Relying on spiritual energy to light up the surroundings in daily life also became an increasing luxury. The days of holding on by relying on pills could almost see an end.
Finally, various cultivation sects also fell into panic. Many old monsters of major clans could no longer live peacefully in seclusion. All forces united, trying every possible way to find the sun while testing various countermeasures.
What was despairing was that no matter how hard they tried, all their actions were useless. Everyone could only watch helplessly as all things withered, waiting for the arrival of the apocalypse.
Two short years were but a fleeting moment for cultivators.
However, in this seemingly brief moment, an unprecedented natural disaster occurred, causing earth-shattering changes to the Cloud Planet, and the entire world almost fell into despair...
...
In the blink of an eye, another two years passed.
Ever since the human race figured out the Great Dao of Immortal Cultivation, they had never felt that two years could be so long.
During these two difficult years, many cultivators experienced continuous regression in their cultivation due to the depletion of spiritual energy, and they perished one after another. Even the reclusive seniors were living in extreme hardship.
Within the cold, gloomy clouds.
Wei Donghai was flying on his sword. He had long lost the extraordinary bearing he had when he was about to break through to the Heaven Rank. In such a harsh environment, he had almost exhausted his savings. It would be best if he could save even a little spiritual energy.
Even so, he was still looking for the reason why the world had plunged into darkness.
But the things his divine sense perceived along this flight made his heart ache endlessly.
The earth had long cracked, and all he saw was wasteland.
Under the cruel environment today, cultivators were already living in extreme difficulty, and the lives of mortals were even more hellish. The commoners who could survive until now were less than one-thousandth of what they used to be, and even those who managed to survive were terminally ill.
Corpses littered the land for thousands of miles, and heaven and earth were silent.
That deadly silent and desolate land had been full of vitality not long ago, with everyone living and working in peace and contentment, but in the blink of an eye, it had been reduced to a purgatory!
Wei Donghai felt a piercing pain in his heart as he slowly landed and looked around in sorrow.
Under the perception of his divine sense, there was not a trace of vitality for thousands of miles.
He had a body full of cultivation, but he could not even help the common people. At this moment, he was even more guilty and angry, and could not help but roar at the sky to vent the fury in his heart!
"Heavens!"
"Why did you make the sun disappear!"
"Are you just going to watch all living beings go extinct!?"
His sorrowful and indignant roar echoed between heaven and earth, but there was still no response. The surroundings for thousands of miles were eerily quiet, making one feel an unspeakable sense of despair and powerlessness.
After investigating for several years with no results, Wei Donghai was already on the verge of despair.
The silence at this moment seemed to be the last straw that crushed his state of mind, causing him to lower his head dejectedly and slowly loosen his fists.
Seeing that he was helpless, Wei Donghai was about to withdraw his divine sense.
Right at this moment.
He suddenly sensed that not far away, ripples were spreading in the void, accompanied by several powerful auras.
Instantly, Wei Donghai was so shocked that he abruptly raised his eyes!
"Now that all things are withering, how can there still be someone with such a tyrannical aura!"
"Could it be that the many ancient predecessors of my human race are going to lend a helping hand, or that Master Lu, who suppressed all demons back then, has led his followers out of seclusion?!"
Suddenly, the dawn of hope lit up in Wei Donghai's heart.
Without thinking too much, he hastily flew toward the direction of the tyrannical auras!
In a situation of extreme despair, suddenly discovering the slightest ray of dawn was enough to uplift anyone's spirit. Wei Donghai was no exception. He rushed all the way with his cultivation fully unleashed, completely ignoring the consumption of spiritual energy.
Even though the consumption was immense, his eyes were full of hope, and an excited smile almost surfaced on his face.
But when he arrived at the place where the auras were located, Wei Donghai froze in mid-air.
The small city on the ground was currently being brutally massacred. The cultivators, who were already lacking in spiritual energy, had no power to resist at all and could only flee and wail desperately.
The masters of those powerful auras did not seem to be human sages, but rather shadows of unknown origins, who had now turned into executioners slaughtering the city!
Those black shadows had extremely profound cultivation. Their entire bodies exuded a killing intent as cold as frost. They did not hold back at all throughout the process, turning the small city into a river of blood in the blink of an eye!
Witnessing this scene, Wei Donghai trembled with rage!
Bastards! Bastards!
The world was already enduring times of extreme hardship, yet this pack of opportunists still emerged to kick them while they were down, taking advantage of the human race's frailty to slaughter them without mercy.
This act of the strong bullying the weak was utterly despicable!
At this moment, Wei Donghai's fury surged like a roaring ocean. Caring nothing for his regressed cultivation, he drew his treasured sword and charged into the fray with the resolve to fight to the bitter end!
