Above the Great Dao

Little Dun Fairy sensed meticulously, thinking to herself, "These few people are extremely powerful, but there's a strange aura inside them... their way is not right! They are not normal humans, they are stronger than demons, with an even deeper degree of evil transformation!"

She was startled, and immediately came to realization.

"These people are a Disaster!"

She quietly went outside the temple gate, stood behind Chen Shi's head, and looked into the distance, thinking, "There are two types of Disaster: one that arises from demons, and one that evolves from cultivators. Although both types of Disaster are part of the Demon Clan, they can also be considered different races. I wonder which type of Disaster they are?"

Demons are born from the resentment and Demon Qi intertwined in the underworld, a peculiar life form born in the underworld, formless and intangible, merely a life force filled Devil Thought, without a physical body. Sometimes they attach themselves to flowers in the underworld, appearing as Demon Flowers, attempting to enter the Mortal World from the underworld to obtain a true form.

In many places in the underworld where yin energy is pervasive, such Demon Flowers can often be seen trying to traverse the Yin Yang Two Realms to pollute the Mortal World.

After coming to the Mortal World, the demon abandons the Demon Flower, attaches to the human body, producing a Demon Seed, polluting the surrounding Heaven and Earth Great Dao, assimilating and absorbing, allowing itself to grow rapidly. Only when it grows into its complete form can it be considered a true demon.

But Disaster and Calamity are different.

Demons initially do not have a body, whereas Disaster and Calamity often have a physical form.

Once a demon has a body and continues to grow, it can evolve into a Disaster, and as a Disaster continues to grow, it can turn into a Calamity.

However, there is another type of Disaster not evolved from demons, but from cultivators during the Ascension Realm, who, when Harmonizing with Heaven and Earth, become polluted by Evil Qi, directly transforming into a Disaster!

Similarly, there is also a type of Calamity, which arises from the Evil Transformation of Heaven and Earth, causing immortals to undergo a Calamity transformation, turning into a Calamity.

During Little Dun Fairy's era, the sun went out, the moon was polluted, and many immortals from the remnants of the Mysterious Bird Heavenly Court couldn't withstand the pollution, turning into Calamities, she was among them, but she was more decisive, and as she underwent Calamity transformation, she proactively shattered the harmonization with Heaven and Earth, sealing herself, leaving herself in a state of broken Great Dao, avoiding the Calamity transformation.

Later, during the True King Era, the True Dynasty Court discovered the White Jade Path at Qixia Temple, found her hiding in another shattered world, trying to return to the Mortal World, and thus suppressed her under Lanyue Palace.

Because if she left that shattered world, she would involuntarily Harmonize with Heaven and Earth, polluting the outside world, becoming a real Calamity.

Later, when she returned to the Mortal World, she was attacked by the True King Nine Palaces, seriously injured and unconscious, along with the Immortal Bridge Blessed Land, plunged into the underworld, unable to return to the Mortal World, and was knocked on the head by Chen Shi and placed in a small temple, causing her to Harmonize with Chen Shi's temple space upon returning to the Mortal World.

Luckily, Chen Shi's small temple was not polluted, with no Evil Qi, so she did not transform into a Disaster or Calamity. But due to Harmonization with the temple space, she fell from Calamity level to Disaster level.

Although Little Dun Fairy had experienced the Great Shang Evil Transformation incident and had some understanding of Disaster and Calamity, her knowledge was limited. She could sense that those people were Disaster-level Demon Clan, but whether they were human or demon, she couldn't discern.

However, demons, Disaster, and Calamity are no longer human, but another kind of race, full of Evil Qi, their Dao Heart filled with Demonic Nature, making them the most dangerous!

Little Dun Fairy was secretly vigilant.

"So it's Chen Zhaoyuan."

Dou Qi was both surprised and delighted, shouting, "I've worn out my iron shoes and found you effortlessly! Before, you killed the young master, we didn't dare to touch you because you were an Imperial Official! Now the Western Capital Court is destroyed, without the Court backing you, your status as top scorer is worthless! Today, I will avenge the young master..."

Before the word 'revenge' left his mouth, suddenly a red blade light flashed, Dou Qi froze, looking at the wound on his finger, his entire body's Qi-Blood uncontrollably flowed from the finger wound to the treasured sword in Chen Shi's hand!

The wound was clearly small, but it felt like a dam breaking, his physical body, and even his Primordial Spirit, began to dissolve!

He rapidly shriveled, instantly like a dried corpse, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Chen Shi's eye twitched slightly, saying grimly, "You can avenge the young master, but don't disgrace our top scorer's name. We earned that top scorer title with hardship, without any insufficiency!"

All around there was silence.

At this moment, a voice came from the crowd: "You obviously never passed a single Literary Examination, it was a clerk ghostwriting for you..."

Chen Shi's eyes shone fiercely, and he chopped fiercely, the speaker was a Merit Officer from the Fuzheng Pavilion, who clutched his neck, blood surging from his fingers, he swayed twice, and fell dead.

"Kill him to avenge the young master!" Qin Su shouted.

"Avenge the young master Ren Feng!"

The Ren Family members, filled with indignation, surged forward. Cultivators began to prepare spells in their Divine Shrines, others took out firearms and Thunderbolts.

Ren Xiao's expression was grim, not acting directly, but activating his Primordial Spirit, which sat in the Void Great Realm, mobilizing all the powers within the realm, preparing to determine Chen Shi's strength before delivering a fatal blow.

When Chen Shi killed the young master during the Imperial Examination, he was only in the Divinity Transformation Realm, no matter how quickly he cultivated, now he would at most be in the Refining Void stage. But that sword was truly strange, making Ren Xiao want to first see the origins of this treasured sword to avoid being harmed by it.

Shui Xuanzhi also did not take action, his eyes remained fixed on the Blood Transformation Divine Saber in Chen Shi's hand.

He also sensed the sword's eerie unpredictability.

What shocked him more was, just now Chen Shi had twice injured people with the sword, but he could not clearly see how Chen Shi wielded the sword, or how he injured Dou Qi and the others!
