These calamity spirits, born from the roots of the sinister trees within the source of the calamity energy, were almost devoid of thought—driven solely by an insatiable desire for destruction. Over the centuries, the cultivators had slaughtered tens of thousands of them each, yet with every outbreak, their numbers showed no signs of diminishing.
"Let's move!"
Without hesitation, Elder Fuguang ordered his subordinates. Over the past few centuries, under the relentless assault of the calamity, the Tianlong Merchant Guild had ceased most of its trade. Like many other factions within the Immortal Domain, they had resorted to holding their territory, hoping to survive the calamity or face eventual destruction.
Only high-ranking factions with Earth Immortal protectors could even consider defending themselves. Mid-tier forces had long been wiped out. Those who remained were either top-tier forces or those allied with them.
