Chapter 260: Immeasurable Great Emperor, Dragon Clan Invasion

After playing with the Simulation Trial for an hour, Han Jue became proficient in using the Great Evolution Divine Shadow.

He was very satisfied with this Divine Ability. Currently, he could manifest up to nine Great Evolution Divine Shadows simultaneously, and each one could unleash power just as formidable as his true self. This was terrifying!

The drawback was the massive consumption of mana. Although an Immortal Emperor's mana could be considered boundless, the rate of recovery was limited. When the mana output exceeded the recovery rate, it would cause a burden, or even depletion.

This minor flaw didn't matter much; Han Jue would defeat his opponents in the shortest time possible. If an opponent far surpassed him, he would simply flee without needing to fight.

Han Jue was in a good mood, so he took out the book of misfortune to celebrate.

Several months later.

Just as Han Jue was about to Cultivate, he suddenly remembered the matter of the Immeasurable Calamity. He had almost forgotten about it.

Wait!

Pan Xin had experienced the Immeasurable Calamity; asking him would surely yield a more accurate answer.

Thinking of this, Han Jue's Primordial Spirit jumped into the River of Sword Dao.

He quickly arrived behind Pan Xin and asked respectfully, "Senior, may I ask you about the Immeasurable Calamity?"

Pan Xin turned his head and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

"Is the Immeasurable Calamity coming? How much longer until it arrives, and how long will it last?"

"Tsk tsk, you're not simple, actually being able to sense the trend of the Calamity. That's right, the next Immeasurable Calamity is approaching. The Immeasurable Calamity is different from other disasters; its onset might take tens of thousands of years, and it could also last for tens of thousands of years. Throughout history, the fastest Immeasurable Calamity still lasted nearly ten thousand years in total. Currently, it is only at its onset; for it to truly begin, we must wait for the Calamity Responder to rise."

"Calamity Responder?"

"Yes, every Immeasurable Calamity will have a Calamity Responder. He will be the fuse that ignites the Immeasurable Calamity. By then, the world will be filled with Karma, all beings will develop Heart Demons and fall into endless slaughter, and only when the Heavenly Dao feels balanced will the Calamity dissipate."

Han Jue was lost in thought.

This Immeasurable Calamity is just a knockout system?

A battle royale?

When the remaining number reaches a certain amount, the Calamity dissipates?

Then, isn't the best way to break through the Immeasurable Calamity just to lay low?

There's no need to fight for first place.

Han Jue asked, "Senior, have you survived an Immeasurable Calamity before?"

Upon hearing this, Pan Xin proudly tilted his nose toward the sky.

"That goes without saying. I have survived too many Immeasurable Calamities. Those who can seize great Luck during the Calamity can become an Immeasurable Great Emperor or a Lord of the Immeasurable, with continuous Luck and immortality through ten thousand calamities."

Pan Xin's words made Han Jue think of the Heavenly Emperor and the Demon Emperor; they were both Immeasurable Great Emperors.

So that's what Immeasurable Great Emperor means.

Pan Xin laughed, "Kid, if you can survive this Immeasurable Calamity, I will take you as my Disciple, considering the fate of our meeting."

Han Jue raised an eyebrow and asked, "Does surviving one Immeasurable Calamity mean one can avoid the next one?"

Pan Xin said nonchalantly, "Not necessarily. The Immeasurable Calamity might depend on Karma, and this thing called Karma is hard to define. For example, you want to avoid the Calamity, but your beloved Dao Companion or Disciple is killed by someone during the Calamity—will you take revenge? If you want revenge, you have entered the Calamity and cannot escape."

"It is very difficult for a person to completely avoid Karma. Even if you have the heart to not intervene to save them, those fellow Disciples, friends, and relatives who yearn for your help will hate you. After the Calamity ends, you will become enemies, which plants the seeds for the next Calamity."

"Furthermore, the Immeasurable Calamity itself is a great creation. By killing enemies and seizing Luck, one can continuously surpass their limits during the Calamity. Many in the God Realm and even Daluo did not have such high innate talent; they relied on seizing Luck and great creation during the Immeasurable Calamity."

"With your cultivation, it's hard not to enter the Calamity, because you cannot find a place to completely avoid it."

By the end, Pan Xin's tone was full of disdain.

Han Jue didn't feel offended; instead, he bowed in thanks and then left quickly.

Pan Xin found it strange; this kid seemed very serious.

Forget it.

Can't be bothered with him.

Pan Xin's right shoulder continued to heave, shaking more and more violently.

…

Ten years later.

Han Jue exited his state of cultivation again and began cursing his enemies.

Having learned that the Immeasurable Calamity was approaching, Han Jue hoped to curse all his enemies to death.

That way, he could rest assured and avoid the Calamity when it arrived.

Additionally, he set strict requirements for his Disciples' cultivation. Each person had to reach a goal within a certain time; if they failed, they would be severely punished by him.

Han Jue certainly didn't want his Disciples to be weak and waiting for him to save them when the Calamity arrived.

For a time, a wave of bitter cultivation swept through the Mountain of Bitter Cultivation to Immortality, and even Chu Shiren didn't dare to be lackadaisical anymore.

One day.

Han Jue was still cursing his enemies when he suddenly sensed a terrifying aura.

A black fissure appeared at the edge of the world, and wisps of terrifying black Qi spilled out. Han Jue sensed it and found dozens of auras.

The strongest reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, and the weakest had the cultivation of a Taiyi True Immortal.

Han Jue immediately contacted the security guard, White-Robed Buddha, and asked him to go and hold them off.

White-Robed Buddha left immediately.

Han Jue continued to curse his enemies.

One must not panic when encountering trouble, especially when cursing enemies—it cannot be interrupted. Once interrupted, Han Jue would be in a bad mood.

Outside the cave.

The fusang tree shook violently again, causing the Black Prison Chicken, A'Da, and Xiao Er to be unable to stay on the branches peacefully.

Long Hao sensed something, jumped up, and looked toward the horizon.

"What's wrong?" Han Yi asked curiously.

Long Hao's eyes were grave as he muttered, "I sense the aura of the Dragon Clan."

He himself possessed a True Dragon Bloodline, so his perception was very strong.

Xun Changan also looked into the distance and muttered, "Trouble for the Yao Realm is coming."

He was not panicked, as his Master was there anyway.

…

In the Heavenly Court, inside a spacious hall.

Fang Liang was sitting cross-legged inside a large cauldron; the medicinal liquid was boiling, scalding his body until it was bright red.

Murong Qi stood beside the large cauldron, watching him intently.

"Senior Brother, I'm fine. You can go back; you don't need to keep watching over me." Fang Liang opened his eyes and forced a smile.

Murong Qi shook his head and said, "This medicine contains the essence blood of a Demon Saint and is incredibly overbearing. There is no room for carelessness. You don't need to worry about me."

Fang Liang helplessly gave up and changed the subject, "Recently, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has been selecting Divine Generals. Are you going to participate?"

Divine Generals—that is an existence higher than Heavenly Generals!

Currently, the Heavenly Court only has three Great Divine Generals!

Murong Qi's cultivation speed was extremely fast, and he had already reached the Taiyi Profound Immortal realm. With such Aptitude, there was hope for him to be exceptionally promoted to a Divine General. Coupled with his past life identity, no immortal or god dared to object.

Don't look at Murong Qi's cultivation as not being outstanding; everywhere he went, immortals and gods would greet him. Not long ago, the Martial Divine General even sought him out to reminisce.

Murong Qi smiled and said, "His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has already spoken with me. I will participate. It can also be considered establishing a foothold for Grandmaster. Grandmaster fears trouble the most; if he comes to the Heavenly Court in the future, we must help him ward off trouble."

Hearing this, Fang Liang nodded, revealing a look of nostalgia, and asked, "By the way, what do you think Grandmaster's cultivation is now?"

After coming to the Heavenly Court, due to his Aptitude and status, he had learned about the Immortal Realm, and his knowledge had greatly increased.

Murong Qi said, "Grandmaster has always been mysterious. I suspect he is an ancient mighty figure who has just been hiding in the Mortal Realm. Have you ever seen Grandmaster look helpless or disheveled? No enemy has ever been a match for even one of his moves."
