Chapter 698: Great Dao Calamity

Although Qin Ling's Aptitude was unparalleled, he had not fully matured yet, so Han Jue lost interest after observing him for a while.

Han Jue retracted his gaze and began sending a dream to the Peacock Divine Lord.

Earlier, he had seen the Peacock Divine Lord suffering from a mysterious curse and was worried something might happen to him.

The dream realm was above the Yellow Springs, where Han Jue met the Peacock Divine Lord in the guise of the Dark Forbidden Master.

The Peacock Divine Lord opened his eyes, and upon seeing the Dark Forbidden Master, he couldn't help but sigh in relief.

"Why were you cursed?" Han Jue asked.

The Peacock Divine Lord looked at Han Jue in surprise and asked, "You can sense that I was cursed?"

Han Jue did not respond verbally, replying instead with his demeanor.

The Peacock Divine Lord waved his hand and said, "No need to worry. I merely placed the Karma Bead somewhere, intending to strengthen it, but that gave the Demon God an opportunity."

"Tsk tsk, he truly is the Curse Demon God, but his cursing power is too weak. Even without the Karma Bead, he couldn't curse me to death."

The Peacock Divine Lord revealed a look of satisfaction.

He had constantly suffered setbacks when facing the Inauspicious Divine Emperor, but recently, over the past tens of thousands of years, he had regained his confidence against the Curse Demon God.

Han Jue asked, "You can't kill him?"

The Peacock Divine Lord said, "Chaos Demon Gods are not that easy to kill. This fellow is not his true body. I can only keep chasing him, preventing him from resting."

Han Jue said, "That works too. If you can slay him, I will help you attain the Dao."

Hearing this, the Peacock Divine Lord's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is that true?"

"Of course."

"Good, you wait. Even if it takes a million or ten million years, I will definitely slay the Curse Demon God. To be honest, I find him annoying too—all sneaky and passive-aggressive."

Listening to his words, Han Jue felt like he was being alluded to.

Han Jue then asked him about his recent experiences, and the Peacock Divine Lord did not hide anything.

While pursuing the Curse Demon God, the Peacock Divine Lord had encountered many cultivators and mysterious worlds.

He discovered that a strange change was occurring in the Chaos: more and more worlds were appearing, and the number of cultivators traveling through the Chaos was also increasing. A hundred thousand years ago, the Chaos was a restricted area for living beings; apart from those who had attained the Dao, few dared to act recklessly.

Recently, the Inauspicious Evil Spirits and Dao Demons had all become obedient.

Due to the appearance of the Inauspicious Divine Emperor, the Peacock Divine Lord suspected that a terrifying entity who controls all Dao Demons might also appear among the Dao Demons.

If both the Inauspicious Evil Spirits and the Dao Demons gain restraint and command, they would definitely become two powerful forces, especially the Dao Demons. Previously, in the Guixu Divine Realm, there were already many powerful Dao Demons capable of rivaling Great Dao Sages.

The Great Dao Calamity is approaching!

The Peacock Divine Lord asked, "Do you have any thoughts regarding the Great Dao Calamity?"

Han Jue said, "I have my own preparations. Just focus on your task. As long as you kill the Curse Demon God, I guarantee you will survive the Great Dao Calamity."

Upon hearing this, the Peacock Divine Lord immediately felt relieved.

Han Jue said no more and dissolved the dream realm.

Han Jue's greatest reliance was the Dao Field. As long as he attained the Dao, the Dao Field would definitely upgrade again. Once the Great Dao Calamity began, he would immediately use the God Summoning Dao to forcibly summon back all Disciples who mastered the God Summoning Art, so they could Undergo Tribulation together!

If the Peacock Divine Lord could kill the Curse Demon God, Han Jue would also transmit the God Summoning Art to him.

Of course, if the Peacock Divine Lord failed, Han Jue couldn't be blamed for being cold and ruthless.

Inside the Daoist temple.

Han Jue opened his eyes.

"I want to know how much longer until the Great Dao Calamity arrives?"

[A deduction of ten quadrillion years of lifespan is required. Do you wish to continue?]

Tsk tsk, that's already equivalent to the worth of a Creator Daoist!

Continue!

[Assuming no major changes, approximately twenty-three billion years.]

Thankfully, that's far enough away.

However, this "major change"… Han Jue suddenly felt uneasy, as the previous Heavenly Dao Calamity had been premature.

Could the major change be referring to Han Jue?

Han Jue secretly became vigilant, deciding he should behave more properly in the future and not easily change the structure of the Chaos.

"I want to know what the scene of the first battle will be when the Great Dao Calamity arrives."

Han Jue asked again in his mind.

[A deduction of ten quadrillion years of lifespan is required. Do you wish to continue?]

Continue!

Han Jue then entered the Evolution Illusion.

He opened his eyes and found himself standing in the Void Realm. Countless meteorites floated in the surrounding dark space, scattered far apart. In front, there was a massive light that drove out the darkness.

He squinted and looked. Within the light was actually a gigantic head. He couldn't see its true appearance, only its loose, long hair wildly dancing, resembling enormous Dragons twisting about.

What a massive head!

Han Jue estimated it was even larger than the entire Heavenly Dao. How exaggerated was that!

Even though the distance was immense, Han Jue could feel his own insignificance.

At this moment, Han Jue suddenly felt an extremely powerful Aura rushing toward him from behind.

He turned his head and saw a golden light appearing in the depths of the darkness. It was actually a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, its body hundreds of millions of feet long, stirring up vast winds and waves as it flew.

Standing atop the Dragon's head was a muscular figure, holding a Golden Halberd, clad in Silver Chainmail, and wearing a Dragon Head Jade Crown. He looked mighty and domineering.

Hmm?

Isn't this Qin Ling, Han Yu's grand-disciple?

This child will start the first battle of the Great Dao Calamity?

Figures appeared near the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, each emitting a powerful presence, with the weakest possessing the cultivation of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

A vertical eye opened between Qin Ling's brows, and his three pupils turned red. He glared furiously at the giant, magnificent head in front and roared, "Sons of the Heavenly Dao! The Chaos Gods cannot tolerate the Heavenly Dao; they want to destroy our Heavenly Dao! Today, we must slay them, fight for the Heavenly Dao's revenge, and fight for the Heavenly Dao's rebirth!"

"So what if they are Chaos Gods!"

"The era belonging to the Chaos has long passed! The momentum of the Grandmist is unstoppable!"

"Follow me and kill!"

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon let out an angry roar and soared away. Its speed was extremely fast, flashing past Han Jue in the blink of an eye.

What domineering might!

Han Jue felt that Qin Ling had already surpassed a Great Dao Sage, and even the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon beneath him was incredibly powerful.

Within the boundless light, the giant head suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of massive pupils that were entirely images of Taiji Yin and Yang.

"Hmph, how dare a mere Heavenly Dao try to destroy the Chaos? Pangu couldn't do it back then, and you certainly can't!"

A cold snort rang out. Even Han Jue felt his head swell slightly upon hearing it, let alone the Heavenly Dao powerhouses behind him, who staggered and stopped.

Qin Ling stepped on the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, swung his halberd and charged. With one strike, he cleaved open a black spatial rift that rapidly expanded and slammed irresistibly into the Chaos God.

The Chaos Demon God's eyes suddenly transformed into two massive whirlpools, directly absorbing the black rift.

It can even absorb space!

Qin Ling swung his halberd again, his entire body tense with muscle. Just looking at his physique, one could feel the explosive strength.

Boom!

The entire Void Realm shattered directly, replaced by a purple space. Vast purple mist surged in, submerging the Chaos God.

"Wake up!"

A voice came from behind Han Jue. He turned his head and saw that all the Heavenly Dao powerhouses who had been dizzy earlier were now sober.

An incredibly magnificent figure appeared behind them, and behind this figure stood numerous terrifying phantoms. But before Han Jue could see clearly, the Evolution Illusion shattered.
