Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 509 - 363: Black Brilliance, Talisman Master! (Double-Length)

The world seemed to fall into a sudden stillness.

Darkness surged in from afar like a colossal curtain, swiftly engulfing mountains, oceans, forests, and valleys.

It covered the heavens and blotted out the sun, causing a sense of dread.

"What is this!" An official on the peak shuddered and exclaimed.

That darkness was unusual, utterly different from the onset of night.

In everyone’s heart, upon witnessing this scene in the world, they felt an inexplicable panic.

It was as if it were a sign of the impending apocalypse.

"Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun!" Wang Shifu, beside Song Changming, also cried out.

Song Changming and Yang Zhen exchanged a glance; they were clearly both bewildered and ignorant of the situation.

In the current scenario, the scene before them somewhat resembled a solar eclipse.

However, in Song Changming’s original world, the appearance of an eclipse wouldn’t cause much impact.

Observing those around him now, he realized this celestial phenomenon might not be so simple.

"Brother Wang, could you shed some light on this?" Yang Zhen inquired.

Wang Shifu took a deep breath and said, "Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun is one of the ominous omens of the world. Since ancient times, it has brought considerable disasters to the entire Human Race.

The climate would rapidly turn extremely cold and harsh, crops would decrease in yield or even perish, leading to widespread famine. Under this ominous omen, the bloodlines of demon beasts would become unusually active..."

Wang Shifu quickly explained.

Song Changming and Yang Zhen then roughly understood the current situation.

In simple terms, with the appearance of the Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun, a series of disasters would follow.

Intense cold, famine, demon disasters, and so on.

The most crucial point is that unlike a solar eclipse, the Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun doesn’t pass quickly.

It could last for days, months, or even years!

The duration is an unknown factor, which is also the root of the fear!

Not knowing when the ominous omen will end, and the longer it lasts, the greater the harm to the Human Race.

"Historical records show that the last Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun occurred three hundred years ago, lasting a full three months and resulting in the deaths of hundreds of millions!

More importantly, it was during that Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun that we humans completely lost Yan Province..."

"Damn it, of all times for a Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun to occur now..." On the throne, Prince Cui’s face darkened significantly.

He knew more, aware that the Human Race was currently engaged in fierce battles in the two states of Lei and Yan, reaching a critical juncture.

This omen of the Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun could very well affect the warfare on the main battlefield and might indirectly influence the future fate of the Human Race!

In the field.

The soldiers ceased their final struggles, looking up at the occurrence of this celestial anomaly.

Soon, limitless darkness swiftly enveloped everyone on the ground, with no one able to escape the impact of this Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun.

And in the sky, within moments, the massive orange-yellow sun was entirely covered by darkness.

Only a faint golden halo remained, emitting the last afterglow, dimly lighting the earth with visibility akin to deep night.

Subsequently, Song Changming noticed that the energy field in the surrounding environment became chaotic.

The originally gentle natural Spiritual Qi now scattered chaotically like headless flies.

Even the Innate Qi Aura within Song Changming’s body became difficult to control.

"So this is the Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun..."

Song Changming shook his head. Aside from anything else, this chaotic state of Spiritual Qi would greatly impact every martial artist’s daily cultivation.

If it only lasted a short while, that would be one thing.

But if it truly lasted for years as Wang Shifu suggested, one could scarcely imagine the earth-shattering changes that might occur in the world.

At present, firstly, the parade review had to be suspended due to this sudden ominous omen.

All regions of the Human Race began urgent harvesting of grains and herbs, leaving only a few crops that could continue to grow or grow slowly under the extreme conditions of the Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun.

Hoarding food became an essential and urgent task.

This was the painful lesson learned from countless experiences of bloodshed in the past.

Secondly, there was the need to guard against a large-scale demon disaster.

Unlike the usual small-scale skirmishes, seizing the opportunity of the Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun, those in the Demon Race would undoubtedly reveal their ambitions and claws.

It was almost certain that a large-scale demon race would descend upon the Three Human States, attacking cities and claiming territory to establish a Demon Realm.

At this time, there was no other way but to hold fast.

The armies returned to their stations to await orders, while Prince Cui directly convened an emergency meeting with key officials to start making arrangements.

Only those with real status and power in Cui Bai Main City attended this meeting, with forty-eight Grand Marshals from the Military Department gathered.

This also indicated that the entire forty-eight Cui Banner armies would be mobilized.

In the main city, the people fell into endless panic.

Not everyone knew about the Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun, as its last occurrence was three hundred years ago.

The vast majority had never experienced it firsthand, so the panic was understandable.

Fortunately, under Prince Cui’s administration, the government had strong execution capability, quickly quelling the chaos in the city, reassuring the people, and stabilizing the situation.

In the Second District, the military station.

When that dark sun finally set, and true night descended,

the Spiritual Qi returned to normal, and the cold, terrifying atmosphere dissipated. It was only now that Song Changming felt somewhat better.

He vaguely felt that the more sensitive the perception, the more one would be affected by this omen.
