Long Yu instantly sensed that the distance between the Nine Dark Moon and the Shenwu World had finally reached its lowest point. As the dark moon aura poured down from the endless void, a faint red crescent moon appeared in the sky above the Shenwu World.
At this time, the Nine Dark Moon was still relatively dim in the sky of the Shenwu World. Only a rough outline could be seen, but a dense dark moon aura was already pouring down from it!
"It has begun … the Dark Moon Cataclysm has arrived!"
Long Yu murmured softly. At the same time, the expressions of the people around him also changed.
Even ordinary people could now see the faint red crescent moon in the sky with their naked eyes. Wasn't that the scene of the legendary Dark Moon Cataclysm?
Almost at the next moment, at the same time that the outline of the Dark Moon of the Nine Serenities appeared, a series of loud bell sounds rang throughout the entire Heavenly Mandate City. The sound spread throughout the entire Heavenly Mandate City, and even directly reached outside the Heavenly Mandate City through the sound amplifying matrix that had been prepared beforehand!
Almost at this time, the bell sounds rang throughout the entire Northern Snow Empire. As the Northern Snow Empire was already prepared, all the cities reacted very quickly. As soon as the Nine Dark Moon appeared, the bell sounds had already spread throughout the Empire, telling everyone to get ready to defend against the Dark Moon Cataclysm.
The area near the northern arena of the Heavenly Mandate City, where Long Yu was, suddenly became chaotic!
An incomparably huge defensive matrix rose from all around the Heavenly Mandate City, completely enveloping the entire giant Heavenly Mandate City within it. If the resurrected souls from the outside world wanted to attack the Heavenly Mandate City, it would be extremely difficult.
Seeing this scene, Long Yu nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that in the past six months, Yu Hanxin, Xi Yangwu, and the others had not wasted their time. They were very well prepared for the Dark Moon Cataclysm.
However, this did not mean that the Heavenly Mandate City was absolutely safe.
Near the chaotic northern arena of the Heavenly Mandate City, some gloomy aura began to seep out from below. It seemed to be resonating with the Nine Dark Moons in the sky.
As waves of Yin Qi rose, not far from Long Yu, a translucent shadow of a giant beetle gradually appeared. It was almost as tall as three people combined, and its body was almost the size of a small building!
As soon as the giant beetle phantom appeared, it pounced towards the chaotic crowd. In an instant, two Martial Cultivators of the Transcendent Secret Realm were devoured by the giant beetle phantom!
"A late-stage King Realm expert!"
Long Yu's heart skipped a beat. He could immediately tell that the strength of the giant beetle phantom had reached the Late-stage of the King Realm. He didn't expect that the resurrected souls that appeared at the beginning of the Dark Moon Calamity would be the souls of such ferocious beasts!
The Martial Cultivators of the Jianghu, who were just saying that the Dark Moon Calamity was not scary, suddenly fell into complete chaos.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Mandate City was well prepared for the arrival of the Dark Moon Calamity. There were city guards patrolling everywhere in the Heavenly Mandate City. In an instant, two city guards from the Secret Realm of the Emperor Path rushed over. One of them activated the Divine Script of Ice, and the other activated the Divine Script of Berserker. The two cooperated with each other and firmly suppressed the giant beetle phantom!
The power of the two divine characters fused together, and in less than the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the giant beetle phantom was blasted into nothingness!
In the process, everyone realized that in order to harm the resurrected souls, they could only rely on the power of the Divine Script. In other words, only those who had reached the Secret Realm of the Transcendent Secret Realm could deal with the resurrected souls.
Even the power of the Law of Heaven and Earth was useless against the resurrected souls. Using the power of the Law of Heaven and Earth to attack the resurrected souls was like attacking the air, completely ineffective.
And in the entire Northern Snow Empire, or even the entire Shen Wu World, how many cultivators had reached the Secret Realm of the Transcendent Secret Realm?
The Body Refinement Secret Realm, the True Spirit Secret Realm, and the Celestial Being Secret Realm, these three were the lowest levels of martial arts. They took up at least 80% of the population of the Northern Snow Empire, or even the entire Shen Wu World!
Those who had reached the Secret Realm of the Transcendent Secret Realm and could truly activate the power of the Divine Script also took up at least 15% of the population.
Only the remaining 5% of cultivators had reached the Secret Realm of the Emperor Path, and were the true main force to deal with the Dark Moon Calamity.
And the first resurrected giant beetle soul that Long Yu saw with his own eyes had already reached the late stage of the King Realm. It was easy to imagine that at this moment, the entire Shen Wu World was covered in disasters!
In a place like the Heavenly Mandate Island, even if the resurrected soul of a giant beetle appeared, it would be able to wipe out the entire island, and no one would be able to stop it!
Of course, on the 108,000 floating islands of the Shen Wu World, because there weren't too many powerful creatures that died on the islands, it was very unlikely that the resurrected souls of powerful creatures would appear.
However, if they did appear, it would be a terrible disaster.
"Everyone, get ready. Cultivators who have reached the King Realm can participate in the killing of the resurrected souls. After the calamity, you can use the mark of the souls to claim your reward at the Heavenly Mandate City Lord's Office! The rest of you, gather at the shelters that have been built in advance! "
A loud voice came from the direction of the City Lord's Office and spread across the entire city.
Under the Heavenly Mandate City, an incomparably huge shelter was built. Everyone's life and training in the shelter would not be too different from before. Moreover, there would be city guards patrolling all over the shelter to prevent the resurrection of ancient dead souls in the shelter.
All the cultivators who had not reached the Secret Realm of the Emperor Path flooded into the underground shelter from all the entrances, preparing to take refuge. As for the other Martial Cultivators and city guards who had reached the King Realm, they began patrolling everywhere, all of them were in a state of intense battle preparation!
"Can you stop the battle now?"
Long Yu squinted his eyes and said to the Zhang brothers, "The Dark Moon Calamity is a great opportunity for you, and also a great test for you! How about we use the number of souls killed to determine the winner of the battle to the death? "
The Zhang brothers also felt the eerie aura rising from below, as well as the strange power of the hazy dark moon in the sky, and they both felt a little anxious.
Hearing Long Yu's words, coupled with the fact that the two of them had not been able to hurt Long Yu at all, they finally nodded.
"Then we'll use the number of souls killed to determine the winner!"
The two brothers nodded and then leaped out in all directions, ready to look for the resurrected souls to deal with.
Since the Dark Moon Calamity had just begun, there were not many souls that had been resurrected from the underground. Once one appeared in the city, it would quickly be killed by the city guards and the Martial Cultivators of the Jianghu. It could not even survive for more than half an hour.
Not long after, the number of people in the entire Heavenly Mandate City decreased sharply, and more than 80% of the population had gathered in the shelters that had been built in advance.
More than half of the city guards had been sent to patrol the shelters below. Because the shelters were built underground, it was very easy for souls to resurrect, so at least half of the city guards were needed to ensure the safety of the shelters.
Even so, the souls of the dead would often awaken in the shelter and kill some of the weaker cultivators. Because no one knew where the souls of these ancient creatures would awaken from!
The Dark Moon Calamity had begun, and the resurrection of the souls was impossible to guard against. The entire Shen Wu world could be said to be in a state of panic, and even Martial Emperors could die at any time.
When the Dark Moon Calamity truly arrived, some of the previously optimistic people in the Northern Snow Empire finally realized that their previous thinking was completely wrong!
Did they really think that they wouldn't have to fear the Dark Moon Calamity just because they were prepared?
They were completely wrong!
If they truly wanted to be fearless, they could only rely on true strength. Without true strength, even if they hid in the shelters, they could still be killed by the resurrected souls at any time!
"Senior, the calamity has arrived, please help us!"
At this moment, Ye Lun was also about to enter the battle, but before he joined the battle, he first ran to Long Yu and respectfully said to Long Yu.
Previously, the Zhang brothers' joint attack did not hurt Long Yu at all. How could Ye Lun not know that this person was definitely an extremely powerful senior?
At the very least, he must have reached the Emperor Realm!
At this time, there were not many Martial Emperors in the Heavenly Mandate City, there were only about a dozen of them, and each of them could be said to be the strongest fighting force of the Heavenly Mandate City!
Therefore, Ye Lun wanted to get in touch with Long Yu, at least to understand this person's mentality, lest this person was here to cause trouble.
"Don't worry, this is a calamity for the entire Shen Wu world, I will do my best."
Long Yu nodded to Ye Lun, letting Ye Lun relax.
"Senior, farewell."
Ye Lun nodded with a solemn expression, turned around and flew towards the soul of a giant bird that had just been resurrected not too far away, Flame Divine Glyphs appeared all over his body, decorating him into a fireball …
As Long Yu watched Ye Lun's departing figure, he couldn't help but smirk.
Ye Lun, I'm afraid you don't know that I'm Long Yu!
But Long Yu didn't say much, the most important thing right now was to kill the resurrected souls of the ancient creatures. Every resurrected soul that was killed could save some weaker people, and those weaker people might not necessarily be weak in the future, they might even become the biggest pillars of the Shen Wu world in the future!
Because of this, the Martial Emperors had to risk their lives to protect them, and which Martial Emperors didn't have friends and family?
Even if it was to protect their friends and family, these Martial Emperors would still throw themselves into the fierce battle!
"The massacre has begun."
Long Yu felt the terrifying aura spreading from the sky and the ground at the same time, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, he hoped that in this calamity, the Northern Snow Empire wouldn't suffer too much loss!
Suddenly, two familiar figures appeared in front of Long Yu's eyes, walking through the streets of the Heavenly Mandate City, it was Bei Yuyao and Dou Zicheng who he hadn't seen for a long time!
"Mother."
