Chapter 535: Chapter 441: Demon Bone of the Calamity God, The Beginning of Chaos

An eerie sound echoed between heaven and earth, sometimes mournful, sometimes piercing, accompanied by black fog, red evil, and densely packed spatial rifts like a spider web, making one shiver.

"This is the lament of heaven and earth!"

The Spider Spirit Senior Brother’s eyes were filled with shock and fear, "The Ancient Netherworld is the core of the Netherworld Realm. Now that it has completely shattered, who knows what kind of anomaly it will trigger."

Fatty Tiger rolled his eyes on the side, "You’re lucky to have encountered our Taoist. Just being able to come out alive is good enough. Why think so much?"

Zhang Kui’s expression was indifferent as he controlled the Chaos Heaven to accelerate once more, skillfully avoiding one terrifying space rift after another, with the Secret Realm’s exit now close at hand.

He counted the impacts of this event in his heart.

Originally, he just wanted to secretly gain some benefits, but he didn’t expect so many variables to occur, leading to the current situation.

Through this calamity, the elite forces of both sides of the Netherworld Realm were completely lost. Even if there were survivors outside, they probably wouldn’t be able to stir any waves in the future.

How will the Eternal Immortal Dynasty react?

From all the information and intelligence, among the Three Realms, the Netherworld Realm, often turbulent, is the weakest, while the Illusion Dream Realm seems to still be under the dominion of the Realm Master, and the strongest Luofu Realm remains shrouded in mystery.

In any case, compared to the already fallen Infinite Immortal Dynasty, the Eternal Immortal Dynasty still retains great power, at least those Starry Sky Evil Gods dare not provoke it.

If this terrifying force decides to enter the Main Cosmos again, the future will probably be even more chaotic...

Bang!

With a loud roar, the Chaos Heaven, in the shape of an onyx crystal, pierced the space barrier, and suddenly, an infinitely vast Nether Ruins plain appeared before them.

"Finally out!"

Fatty Tiger and the two Demons from the Spirit Corpse Sect breathed a sigh of relief.

Before them was a chaotic battlefield, with armies from both sides locked in struggle, starships clashing in flames in the sky, swords crossing in blood on the ground, and the cries of war shaking the heavens.

It was apparent that only elite forces had entered the Secret Realm; there were still many left outside who hadn’t yet learned what had happened within.

And with the Chaos Heaven breaking the barrier, the Ancient Netherworld Secret Realm finally collapsed with a thunderous roar.

Rumble... Crack...

The swirling black fog at the entrance to the Secret Realm showed white-lighted cracks, the earth trembled, lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and the oppressive dark clouds in the sky seemed almost to press down to the ground.

As the entrance to the Secret Realm suddenly exploded, blinding golden light spread instantly, surging in waves in all directions, carrying terrifying shockwaves along the way. Cracks appeared in the earth, soldiers from both sides were thrown up tens of meters high, and even the heavy dark clouds in the sky were instantly torn apart.

Awakened by the terrifying celestial anomaly, the soldiers and cultivators caught in the fight halted, some bewildered, some struck by fear, not knowing what was happening.

Zhang Kui couldn’t care less about them. Just as he was about to steer the Chaos Heaven to leave, the entire cabin suddenly shook violently.

"What happened?!"

Fatty Tiger and the two Demons were startled and faced each other in disbelief.

Zhang Kui also frowned deeply. The starships hadn’t attacked, the core of the Chaos Heaven was functioning normally, and even Tai Shi nearby hadn’t issued any warning.

Did they crash into something?

Yet his Divine Thought had been constantly monitoring the surroundings, dodging all the shockwaves and flying debris...

Bang!

Before he could react, the entire ship received another violent shake, and the cabin was instantly awash in blood-red. The strong defense array of the Chaos Heaven had somehow sustained damage.

There was something outside!

Zhang Kui finally confirmed, and without a word, he shifted and flashed out, curious about what could evade his Divine Thought detection.

However, just as he left the cabin, the sight before him made his scalp tingle, his Divine Soul tremble, and his Cute Head Skill continuously issued belated warnings of death.

A five-meter-high glazed skeleton, exuding a corrupt and eerie light, was clinging to the Chaos Heaven. The Cave Heaven Divine Crystal’s shell was melting away, with large holes torn open by the skeleton’s sharp claws.

The Nine Calamities Divine Monarch!

Zhang Kui’s hair stood on end. When he came out, he briefly glanced over and thought that this guy had perished together with the Celestial Ghost Buddha. Unexpectedly, the skeleton could still wreak havoc.

Without any hesitation, innumerable purple sword lights burst forth from his body, forming a sword array cannon. Ten-meter thick silvery thunder fire tore through the space and illuminated the sky, striking the opponent instantly.

Roar!

A piercing and strange howl echoed within Zhang Kui’s Divine Soul, as if several electric drills were continuously swirling.

At the same time, within the cabin, Fatty Tiger and the two Demons screamed in agony, clutching their heads and collapsing to the ground, while the mortal cultivators and soldiers on the floor had their heads explode, blood and brains splattered everywhere.

The usually unstoppable Sword Formation Cannon was caught by the colorful Glazed Skeleton, with Thunder Fire flashing and Evil Gang scattering, unable to cause any harm to it.

What kind of wicked creature is this?!

Zhang Kui’s hair stood on end, enduring the intense pain in his head, while simultaneously casting the Ascending Copy Skill. The Sword Formation Cannon’s Thunder Fire instantly became more dazzling, launching with a heart-pounding destructive force. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

However, to his horror, not only was the skeleton not struck off the Chaos Heaven, but the eerie light around it suddenly expanded, enveloping the entire Starship, causing the whole vessel to become distorted.

All of this happened in an instant.

Perhaps sensing Zhang Kui’s abundant energy, the strange skeleton let out a roar and abandoned the Chaos Heaven, lunging straight at him with the speed of a shooting star.

Schlupp!

Fatty Tiger had just overcome the intense pain in his Divine Soul when he saw Zhang Kui standing dumbly in mid-air, pierced through the chest by the weird skeleton’s sharp claws.

"Taoist!"

Fatty Tiger’s body erupted in a burst of lightning, instantly going berserk.

Before he could rush out, he saw "Zhang Kui" suddenly expand, transforming into a hundred-meter-tall black Divine Statue with Three Heads and Six Arms, exuding endless Evil Qi, grabbing the skeleton in its hand.

At the same time, in the void on the other side, Zhang Kui slowly revealed his form, his eyes filled with gloom.

Realizing the ineffectiveness of the Sword Formation Cannon on the first try, he understood that the laws contained within the skeleton were far superior to the current Yin Yang True Fire, hence he would have a method to deal with it.

Using the Ascending Copy Skill was just a trial and a feint, for he had already summoned the Ancient Divine Statue and masked it with an Illusion Skill.

The "Black Calamity" can extinguish all Power of Laws, undoubtedly a high-level force from the previous cosmic era, but shockingly, the corrupt light on the Glazed Skeleton’s surface was not inferior in any way.

The two forces collided, mostly dissolving into nothingness, but the mere residual shockwave was enough to warp the surrounding space, creating a chaotic state.

Zhang Kui snorted coldly, with a wave of his hand, the Immortal King Tower erupted forth, divine light radiated as it slowly rotated, its mystical aura vibrating the firmament.

No matter what wicked creature it is, it is no longer the original Nine Calamities Divine Monarch, its strength vastly diminished after the Little World shattered. Capturing it within the Immortal King Tower for suppression was the plan.

However, on its way to the Immortal King Tower, gripped by the Ancient Divine Statue, the Glazed Skeleton swiftly faded and disappeared, as if it had never been in that space.

At this time, Fatty Tiger and the two Demons flashed out, hovering by Zhang Kui’s side, glancing around in confusion and asking, "Taoist, where did that thing go?"

Zhang Kui squinted slightly, looking around, "Nine Calamities Divine Monarch possesses Spatial Divine Power, this thing likely does too. Let’s leave this place first and discuss it later."

With that, he put away the severely damaged Chaos Heaven and led everyone away swiftly.

This thing was extraordinarily eerie; not only was Divine Thought unable to probe it, but it was also incredibly fast, capable of using Spatial Divine Power, elusive and unpredictable, best not provoked without knowing how to counter it.

Without lingering, in the blink of an eye, he had led the group to disappear over the horizon.

Unbeknownst to Zhang Kui, as soon as they left, on a distant hovering Ancient Mirror Starship, the strange Glazed Skeleton slowly revealed itself once more...

By now, the battlefield was devoid of slaughter.

Even the slowest of the two forces realized that something had gone wrong with the Ancient Netherworld Secret Realm—all the people inside had not emerged, and the struggle had lost its meaning.

Some were at a loss, others sat cross-legged, some swallowed pills for healing, while yet others had clearly birthed different intentions.

"General, now that the Netherworld Secret Realm has collapsed and the upper echelon has all perished, what should we do?"

"Hmph, dead is dead. I never liked them anyway. The future will likely be another chaotic age—let us gather our troops and await our opportunity!"

So it is in the world, ambition breeds ceaselessly—longevity, power, authority... conflicts never cease.

But before they could take action, a terrifying glow dashed down from the sky, filling them with dread.

Calamitous fires rolled, cold tides surged, earth veins collapsed, droughts and plagues... nearly all disasters erupted simultaneously.

More terrifying was that everyone’s faces started to age, their energy and blood rapidly draining from their bodies like ebbing tides.

"What is happening..."

Someone struggled to look up at the sky, only to see a rotating scarlet star river, before his vision blacked out and he collapsed to the ground, soon reducing to a skeleton riddled with holes.

In a short span, no living being remained on the battlefield...
