This body of mine is just an avatar, which can remain in the outside world to observe how things develop.

boom--

A fire spell slammed down beside him, creating a powerful shockwave.

Some cultivators, controlled by the calamity, fought their way in. Xi Heng drew a golden sword and beheaded one of them.

This approach may deter some of the corrupted cultivators, but there are still cultivators who are deeply corrupted and are no longer afraid of death, continuing to launch surprise attacks without any regard for their safety, which inevitably affects her position.

Xi Heng conjured dozens of golden swords in succession, easily slaying over a hundred people with a flick of his fingertips.

At this point, the teleportation array was fully activated, and the gates opened one after another.

The cultivators immediately stopped fighting and, like an army obeying a command, rushed towards the array gate.

Even though many of them were not yet at the Nascent Soul stage and did not have protective talismans, and might have their meridians torn apart by the spatial tremors during the teleportation, they still rushed forward without hesitation.

With a buzzing sound, millions of cultivators surged into the teleportation portal, and the corner where Xi Heng was located finally settled down again.

The scene was littered with mangled corpses and a large amount of blood.

Su Ziyuan was protected behind her and remained undisturbed, still focused on comprehending the Dao.

But the object in the sky was getting closer and closer, and a huge, dark blue comet covered a quarter of the sky.

The sunlight was blocked, and the mournful voice of the aged constantly echoed in the ears of all living beings.

Whenever I hear this, I am usually lost in confusion and bewilderment.

“The space itself is also turbulent due to the pressure; it’s time to leave…” Xi Heng thought to himself.

Just as he was about to activate the fire magic to send Su Ziyuan away, a woman's soft sigh suddenly broke through the old man's wailing.

The sound had barely faded for a moment when boundless light descended at a speed that even she could hardly react to.

The dazzling light penetrated the entire chasm of light and covered it with a ghostly green, assimilating the darkness within into its own light, and seeping inward from the outer edge.

The highly contagious entity was swallowed up by the truly powerful and intense light within just a few seconds.

The blazing light can easily burn it, but it itself cannot be tainted by the light and the fire.

In just a few seconds, the enormous dark blue calamity transformed into a fireball that bloomed in the sky, becoming a sun that was too close to the world.

The ground temperature rose rapidly as a result, causing fires to spread.

However, compared to the direct impact of the fire itself, a large-scale fire is a minor issue.

Xi Heng watched as the city burned in flames, and also saw the huge ball of light in the sky rapidly slowing its descent.

Before long, it rose again and returned to the void in the sky.

"So strong..." she muttered to herself.

Just now, the blazing sun shone brightly, its intense light overwhelming all who could see it.

When visibility returned, the dark blue calamity had disappeared, and a new sun, close to the earth's surface, shone brightly before them, slowly rising.

Rumors and commotions spread throughout the theater, with the calamity clearly still resisting and struggling, but unable to break free from 'Xi's' control.

As the flames rose, the intense heat gradually subsided, and the light that burned one's pupils dimmed slightly.

Several streaks of light emanated from the true sun in the sky, transforming into four ribbons of golden light that wrapped around the entire ball of fire below like embroidered balls, pulling it upwards at an accelerated pace.

The ball of light was drawn into the sky, shrinking and gradually decreasing, and the expansion of flames in the city gradually slowed down.

This object was taken away by the true sun in the sky, just like some kind of magical artifact sealing away demons.

First, it trapped the enemy in flames, and then it collected the struggling enemy into the magical artifact.

And those affected by the disaster seem utterly powerless to resist.

A few minutes later, two suns of similar size appeared in the sky and began to attract each other.

As the distance grew, Xi Heng could no longer comprehend the strangeness of the situation, and he exhaled to regain his composure.

After observing for a long time, she gained some insights.

Although I didn't achieve enlightenment on the spot like Su Ziyuan, I believe I can still gain something by going back to seclusion and digesting the knowledge for a period of time.

The girl turned to look at Su Ziyuan, who was still staring intently at the two approaching suns.

Xi Heng looked up and saw that the vast sky had cleared.

Those overlapping and chaotic colors of calamity scattered like insects avoiding the light, allowing the sky to be clear for the first time in nearly a hundred years.

She thought—with the radiant light that had just shone upon her, the calamities from all directions should have been somewhat weakened.

Although the Void Calamity will not disappear under this attack, it will at least give this realm and the cultivators within it some breathing room.

With such a powerful being in the Heavenly Realm, the entire void might not fall into doom so quickly.

Xi Heng nodded slightly, and the two suns in the sky were already close together.

The world seems to have returned to peace, but the buzzing never stops, and the disturbances continue.

The next instant, one of the two suns in the sky suddenly flickered.

Su Ziyuan, standing behind, widened her eyes and immediately snapped out of her daze, anxiously shouting to Xi Heng beside her, "Quick, let's go!"

The white-haired girl was puzzled, but her actions were completely thoughtless as she flicked her fingers and unleashed white flames that covered the other person's body.

The flames flickered for a moment, and Su Ziyuan's figure was teleported back through the space.

After casting the spell, she became puzzled as to why Su Ziyuan would suddenly say such a thing.

Everything seemed quite stable.

Only the buzzing sound in my ears was growing louder and faster—

Xi Heng listened attentively for a while and realized that it was not a sound, but a resonance wave.

The source of the fluctuations was that calamity-inducing ball of light, which was covered in flames and then dragged into the sky.

She blinked, looking up at the sky for what seemed like the umpteenth time, using various spells to amplify her vision, trying to see through the raging fire.

Gradually, I could see what it looked like inside.

Within the chaos light cluster, the imaginary entity's two pupils, one black and one white, were rapidly rotating.

The speed increased so much that its mass could no longer support such extreme speed, causing it to collapse.

As they collapsed and disintegrated, their two pupils glowed and merged, one white and one black, almost touching each other on the spot.

Its rate was still increasing, and the buzzing frequency in Xi Heng's ears was pulled to the extreme, merging into a long, thin, piercing sound.

A profound sense of threat gripped her heart, and the white-haired girl subconsciously channeled her power of time into this scene, glancing at the vision of the future.

"..." Then, he froze on the spot.

"This future?"

Two or three seconds later, the buzzing suddenly disappeared.

And then, another burst of white light exploded in the sky.

However, this time it was not the golden-white light bursting forth from the blazing sun, but a pure, chilling white, white to the point of being cold.

The sound disappeared, and only the energy began to ripple and surge in layers.

Surrounded by the thick, dazzling white light, Xi Heng felt his physical body shatter and burn, but he felt no pain. It was as if he had turned into a wisp of smoke and was then blown away by a violent explosion.

The avatar lost consciousness for a short time, and when it woke up again, the white light had disappeared, and the self remained in the ruins as only a few wisps of white flame.

The city walls have vanished, leaving only an endless desert of dust and dirt in all directions.

She thought she had suddenly been teleported somewhere, but looking at the spatial coordinates, it shouldn't be too far away from where she was before.

Xi Heng manipulated the white flames to form an eye, gazing at the sky.

The world was dark; neither of the two suns in the sky remained, only the starlight adorned the night.

She blinked, as if she suddenly understood something.

"So the target of this disaster wasn't Jingtian, but that demigod?"

First, it lured it into action, then pretended to fall, allowing the sun to pull it into the air, and then detonated itself at the moment of merging.

Ultimately, this plunged the world into boundless grayness and darkness.

Volume 1: Chapter 395, Common Principles

In the dark, boundless desert formed by piles of ashes and dust, a single pure white flame flickers faintly in some unnoticed corner.

The flame, no bigger than a palm, barely formed a scorching sphere resembling an eyeball from the fluctuations, floating and slowly rotating above the dust.

Xi Heng used this opportunity to observe his surroundings and used multiple magical senses, but he could not sense any trace of life remaining anywhere.

Not long ago, this place was a very prosperous metropolis.

I should be in a teleportation array tens of thousands of meters wide, with several open teleportation gates and dozens of rotating circular array structures, waiting with countless cultivators for the teleportation gates to open before leaving.

But in just over ten minutes, the entire world suddenly changed its appearance.

It was as if it had been hit by a nuclear bomb with an extremely high yield, or by a meteorite impact.

The city's buildings were crushed into dust, leaving not a trace of structure, as if they had been split apart on a microscopic level, and everything was ground into powder.

The powders piled up and mixed together, turning the land into a single color—gray.

No matter which way you look, or which direction you illuminate with the last vestiges of your white flame, all you see is gray-black powder.

Those buildings imbued with spiritual energy, regardless of their bricks, tiles, beams, windows, or any other material, were all worn down to dust.

The earth was covered in ash, like volcanic ash that had been falling for months after a volcanic eruption.

The outlines of various buildings have also disappeared, not covered by ash, but directly turned into part of the ashes.

A hazy mist hung in the air, and it was unclear how long it would take for it to slowly dissipate and clear the world again.

Xi Heng manipulated the remaining white flames, making them wander around like will-o'-the-wisps.

After traveling several kilometers, the scenery in all directions remained exactly the same.

Many iconic buildings and even terrain were flattened, leaving one wondering just how powerful the explosion was.

She then shifted her gaze to the horizon, where only faint stars could be seen beyond the fog.

Time passed, and dawn finally arrived, the time when the sun should have risen.

The world remained dark; though there were no clouds, not a single ray of light appeared on the horizon.

Xi Heng waited a while longer, but the sun still didn't appear.

This world seems to have fallen into eternal darkness.

After reading it in her own spiritual fire space, the girl shook her head.

A few drops of white flame floated slowly in the ashes, and its consciousness completely returned to its original body.

"Even a avatar at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage couldn't withstand it for even half a second. All the prepared protective spells were annihilated into ashes the moment they encountered that fluctuation..." Xi Heng muttered to himself.

She had no idea how powerful the explosion in the sky was or how wide its impact was.

It is unknown whether 'Xi', who was directly hit by such an explosion, perished on the spot or was injured and forced to retreat.

In any case, that demigod possessing the power of radiance and the blazing sun must have been affected, otherwise how could there be no light rising at dawn...

After a moment of contemplation, Xi Heng shifted his focus to the northernmost polar region—the location of the spiritual fire spatial node he had left behind—in order to assess the power of the explosion.

The node crystal still floated leisurely atop the Death City, while countless zombies and undead were arranged in an orderly fashion around it, like sculptures.

Snow and ice swept across the land, and the entire lifeless city remained motionless.

"The Northern Continent doesn't seem to have changed much; that explosion didn't affect the entire Jingtian Realm."

"But... the sun has disappeared, and if it does not recover for a long time, the increasingly severe disasters will quickly spread throughout the heavens."

Xi Heng withdrew his gaze and muttered to himself, "It's hopeless, isn't it?"

Back in front of her, several relatives and friends were beside her, watching the apocalyptic scene she had just projected in front of her.

For a moment, no one spoke, and the space was rather quiet.

A gloomy atmosphere settled over the group, but Su Ziyuan only glanced at them before continuing her meditation, seemingly lost in thought about something else entirely.

“Even the largest Jingtian is already like this, can the others hold on…” Yin Wanluan said worriedly.
