Chapter 34: Demon Calamity Day
Hundreds of years ago, a supreme demon devoured the Sun, Moon, Heaven, and Earth, plunging the whole Human World into darkness, with Heaven and Earth weeping… Thereafter, countless burning meteorites fell from the sky, scattered across the Four Continents, causing countless casualties. This was known as the Demon Calamity Day.” Yu Yan sighed as he began to recall the past events.
"Demon Calamity Day?” Shen Luo’s gaze sharpened.
"After the Demon Calamity Day, the Human World greatly changed. Countless Demonic Beings and ghosts roamed freely, indulging in the slaughter of all living creatures, while the immortals and Buddhas were nowhere to be seen. Initially, the court was able to resist the invasion of the Demonic Beings, but the strength of these demons and ghosts grew year by year, leaving the court essentially powerless. Hundreds of years have passed, and the court has long been reduced to nothing more than a name while the Great Tang and even the entire Southern Sub-Central Continent, have fallen into a state of various forces banding together for survival.” Yu Yan continued.
After hearing all this, Shen Luo’s eyes widened, and it took him a while to digest what Yu Yan had said.
"Actually, I heard about these matters from my father since childhood, but I have never witnessed them personally; it all seems quite unbelievable.” Yu Meng stroked his chin, commenting thusly.
"You little brat, if you were to actually witness it, would you be able to stay alive?” Yu Yan raised his hand to smack Yu Meng’s head, reprimanding him angrily.
Yu Meng quickly ducked to avoid his father’s hand, laughed awkwardly a few times, and didn’t dare to speak anymore.
"Uncle Yu, you just said that the Demon Calamity Day was hundreds of years ago, but when exactly was it?” Shen Luo asked again.
"Regarding the specific time of the Demon Calamity Day, for some reason, it isn’t clearly recorded in the major classics, and it’s the same on the official historical records.” Yu Yan shook his head, responding.
