Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

However, before he could say anything more, he heard a time-worn and ethereal voice beside his ear.

-

"Heavenly Dao Decree": Calamity descends upon the world, "Evil Clan invasion" shall arise in the Boundless Icefield south of Fei City.

Stars plummeting from the sky, the Evil Clan invades.

-

A decree exceedingly brief, and yet almost simultaneously, three more arose.

-

"Heavenly Dao Decree": Calamity descends upon the world, "Evil Clan invasion" shall arise in the Endless Desert north of Xuzhou.

Stars plummeting from the sky, the Evil Clan invades.

"Heavenly Dao Decree":...

-

East, south, west, north, the four corners.

Endless Desert, Boundless Icefield, Boundless Snow Mountain, Boundless Sea.

All at the same time succumbed to the "Evil Clan Invasion", only the central region of Da Xia Country remained unscathed,

"...run first,"

Chen Qiu gazed into the distance, noticing that this time there were no dark clouds bearing down, and the decree did not indicate they were forbidden to leave Fei City, meaning they could leave. The scholar wasted no time either.

Within ten breaths, spiritual energy surged forth.

Soon they arrived at the summit of the tallest mountain at the edge of Fei City, where they could at any moment leave the boundaries of Fei City, watching as the sky full of stars smashed into the edges of the Boundless Icefield, even causing the ground to shake.

Chen Qiu looked up and noticed that the countless stars in the sky barely seemed reduced in number, insignificant compared to the entirety of the night sky.

"Aren't you leaving, Brother Qiu?"

Fat Long stood beside him on the peak, overlooking the entire Fei City, which had been plunged into darkness with the coming of night, but as the decree echoed, countless homes lit up with lights, so that at a glance, Fei City seemed ablaze with a wildfire of stars.

"..."

Without speaking, Chen Qiu's brows furrowed as he looked toward the edge of the Boundless Icefield, at which point he could already feel a vast evil energy surging towards Fei City from the Boundless Icefield. This time, the number of members of the Evil Clan was undoubtedly much greater than that during the last Demon Race invasion.

This time, Fei City was probably in danger.

"Go!"

Chen Qiu did not hesitate further but immediately called on the scholar, not staying long on the mountaintop, and shot towards the Da Xia Capital.

The scale of this Evil Clan invasion was much larger than that of the previous Demon Race incursion.

There must be members of the Evil Clan with Golden Cores among them.

In such a grand battlefield, not to mention anything else, a single sweep of the Divine Sense from a Golden Core Evil Clan member would be enough to end them on the spot, leaving no room for involvement.

...

Meanwhile—

Inside the City Lord Mansion.

A fat-faced man sitting in the City Lord Chair, currently laughing with a cup of wine in his hand, closed his eyes and drunkenly savored the overwhelming evil energy coming from the Boundless Icefield, murmuring,

"I've waited thirty years, and finally, it has come. The Lord National Master is truly omniscient."

"It really is..."

"I've been itching to throw a punch for so long."

The next moment!

A tumultuous spiritual energy burst forth with a skyward murderous intent within the City Lord Mansion, and the man vanished on the spot without a trace.

...

Just as Chen Qiu was already far from Fei City, shooting toward the Capital,

that time-worn and ethereal voice sounded once again.

-

"Heavenly Dao Decree": The world is on the brink of conflict, and the invasion of the "Evil Clan" has commenced. In this version, cultivators, members of the Devil Clan, the Evil Clan, and others with a cultivation level of the early Golden Core stage and above are unable to take action, nor can they be attacked.

The "Heavenly Dao Evil Killing Ranking" is now open.

After the invasion of the Evil Clan concludes, rewards will be given based on the ranking positions.

If the "Evil Clan invasion" does not conclude within ten days, the "worldwide conflict" will immediately commence.

-

At this moment, on the Boundless Icefield.

The Fat City Lord who was lying on the ground panting with a ferocious expression suddenly felt the pressure on him vanish as he heard the voice of the Heavenly Dao Decree by his ear. He struggled to get up from the ground and looked towards the nine Evil Clan members, each at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Peak.

He started to laugh with a sense of having survived a calamity.

"Almost died there."

"Before the State Preceptor sent me here, he didn't tell me that my opponents were nine Evil Clan members at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Peak, huh?"

"Does the State Preceptor trust me that much?"

...

Meanwhile, Chen Qiu and others who had already left the boundary of Fei City, upon hearing the Heavenly Dao Decree, did not hesitate for a moment and immediately turned around to rush towards the Boundless Icefield.

Golden Cores cannot take action, so what is there for him to fear?

No matter how numerous the Evil Clan is, he alone could slaughter them all. With his current strength, as long as Golden Cores do not take action, any number of Foundation Establishment would be mere ants to him.

A hundred breaths later.

Chen Qiu and the others once again set foot on the Boundless Icefield. The Icefield was still like any other day, with millions of miles of dark clouds spreading overhead, and there was no end in sight. The bone-chillingly cold wind roared out from the depths of the Boundless Icefield.

Only today, there was an addition of evil energy.

"..."

Chen Qiu stood on the Boundless Icefield, looking towards the horizon where there were as many as a hundred thousand members of the Evil Clan. He frowned without saying a word, and his main concern was that these Evil Clan members did not seem particularly pleasant in appearance.

Somewhat human, yet not.

With hands and feet, as well as… nine pairs of eyes.

The upper body was naked, with eight pairs of eyes neatly embedded on the abdomen, resembling a sow's belly. And as for the head, there was not a single piece of skin to be found, as if the scalp had been ripped off, the flesh exposed.

And no skull.

The white brain matter was exposed to the air, jiggling with every step taken – there must be some transparent membrane protecting the brain matter, or else it would all fall out if they were to stand on their heads.

Now, these Evil Clan members who occupied almost the entire Boundless Icefield were rushing out from the depths of the Icefield, clashing with the cultivators from Fei City.

The grand and chaotic fluctuations of spiritual energy along with the collision of the two sides created an extremely shocking roar above the Boundless Icefield.

Countless severed limbs flew through the air.

Blood dyed the ground of the Boundless Icefield red.

The continuous screams and roars formed the main theme of the Boundless Icefield.

Those members of the Evil Clan seemed unable to speak, or perhaps their language was incomprehensible to others – they were just making random, unintelligible noises. However, it was evident that they possessed spiritual wisdom.

"..."

Chen Qiu, who stood still and did not immediately join the battlefield, observed the edges of the combat zone. His eyes suddenly narrowed slightly when he noticed a dead tree growing incongruously in a corner of the Boundless Icefield.

He didn't recognize this thing before.

But he had learned last time that this was called the Evil Wood.

It grew in the Evil Land, and the peculiar thing was that only the Evil Land in and around Fei City could produce such wood. Moreover, it was not a rare object, quite common in fact.

And it wasn't particularly valuable.

He hadn't noticed that there was an Evil Wood growing on the Boundless Icefield before. What really caught his attention was that some of the members of the Evil Clan, who looked like monsters, were about a dozen whose eyes shone with visible excitement and agitation as they rushed desperately at the dead tree!

And even...

The slowest among the Evil Clan had begun to raise their blades and strike at their own kind.

As the two races began their great battle, the Evil Clan not only refrained from joining the fray but instead turned their blades against each other, creating an eerie tableau.
