Chapter 244: The Multicolored Heavenly Calamity!

Watching Bernard’s size gradually increase, Ye Feng sighed helplessly. He knew he would have to pay again.
This kind of damage to his room had happened more than once. Fortunately, the inn owner was quite reasonable—he would just accept some money from Ye Feng and let it go, leaving it to Ye Feng to arrange repairs himself.
Hearing the creaking of the wooden floor, Ye Feng closed his eyes in resignation. He knew that compensation was now inevitable. Bernard’s changes were uncontrollable instincts, and there was nothing he could do to stop them.
The inn owner clearly heard the unusual noises as well. Without hesitation, he knew which room they were coming from. Yet he paid no attention, acting as if nothing had happened and continuing with his tasks.
This kind of strange noise hadn’t happened in Ye Feng’s room for the first time, so he had grown used to it. Moreover, after each incident, Ye Feng would always take the initiative to compensate. Over time, the amount he had paid was enough to renovate the entire inn.
For the inn owner, he would even welcome Ye Feng causing damage every day, as that meant he could receive substantial compensation regularly. This was one of the reasons why he hadn’t thrown out this troublemaker.
Another reason he kept Ye Feng around was that Ye Feng was a famous figure on Agri Planet. Not only was he extremely powerful, but he also had connections with many powerful factions, so the inn owner didn’t dare offend him easily. Additionally, Ye Feng attracted many guests to dine and stay at his inn.
Some curious customers around looked around, trying to figure out where the strange noise was coming from.
“Everyone, don’t worry. It’s coming from Senior Blade’s room,” the inn owner said, his expression even more indifferent than before.
“Is it really coming from Senior Blade’s room?” asked a fat man, speaking indistinctly while chewing on a piece of fatty meat.
“It can’t be anyone else but him!” the inn owner replied, though there was no trace of complaint on his face. “His room often makes all kinds of strange noises. Sometimes it’s because of fights, leaving nothing intact in the room. I have to buy new things for him and repair the damaged parts.”
“Do you know what’s happening now?” someone in the crowd asked further.

“I’m not quite sure,” the shop owner admitted frankly. “Every time, I wait until the commotion stops and I’m sure there’s no danger before going in. Every time, I only see chaos—no idea what actually happened. After all, if a master of his caliber gets into a fight, rushing in recklessly would be suicide. I can only wait for the noise to subside before going in to investigate.”
In fact, Ye Feng also knew that the shop owner was using his fame to attract customers, but he turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.
Bernard in front of him grew larger and larger; the floor inside seemed unable to bear the weight, with constant creaking sounds.
Even just sitting there, it had to lower its head to avoid hitting the ceiling. Yet Bernard’s growth showed no sign of stopping, and its size continued to expand at an accelerating pace.
In just a few breaths, its head broke through the ceiling, and the floor collapsed, crashing down to the first floor and raising clouds of dust. Bernard, now on the ground below, quickly attracted everyone’s attention.
Ye Feng was on the second floor, with the restaurant on the first. After the floor of his room collapsed, Bernard fell straight from his room into the dining area, drawing everyone’s gaze.
Although it had grown much larger and its appearance had changed significantly, its black-and-white fur and general shape still allowed many to recognize it as Ye Feng’s pet.
After all, in the footage of the battle against Xiu Luo, both Bernard and Xiao Yu were present, and Bernard’s skilled and fierce spells left a deep impression on many.
After falling into the restaurant, Bernard continued to grow. By now, its size was about twice that when it first emerged from the refining realm—around seven or eight meters tall—and it still showed no signs of stopping.
Ye Feng also jumped down through the hole in the floor and said to the crowd with an awkward smile, “Sorry, it ate too much. It’ll be fine once it finishes digesting!”
Ye Feng’s words left the people around him speechless, filled with confusion—what could possibly cause such an effect from overeating?

Soon, Bernard’s head reached the ceiling of the third floor. The cultivator living above Ye Feng’s place was so shocked by the sudden appearance of a giant magical beast’s head that his heart almost stopped beating. After breaking through the ceiling of the third floor, Bernard’s growth finally slowed down. At this point, if it were standing upright, it would be over ten meters tall—a truly massive creature. Bernard let out a deep roar, trying to control its body instead of relying on instinctive changes. Yet its roar sounded nothing like that of a harmless pet; rather, it resembled the terrifying howl of a wild beast suppressed for a long time, causing everyone present to feel anxious. Seeing the crowd becoming restless, Ye Feng glanced apologetically at the inn owner and then spoke to calm them down, “It’s okay. It won’t attack anyone. There’s no need to panic.” The inn owner gave Ye Feng a grateful look. If he hadn’t said those words, many people might have been scared away by that roar. At that moment, Xiao Yu also flew down and landed on Ye Feng’s shoulder. It raised its head, called out twice toward the sky, then turned to look at Ye Feng, as if reminding him of something. Ye Feng certainly noticed something unusual as well—a strange energy fluctuation came from the sky above. That fluctuation even affected his heartbeat and disrupted the flow of energy within his body. Although he couldn’t see what was happening in the sky above, Ye Feng guessed it must be a crucial stage in transforming from a cultivator to an immortal—the Heavenly Calamity! “The calamity clouds are coming so quickly?” Ye Feng frowned. “We definitely can’t undergo the transformation here. Otherwise, all living beings within dozens of miles will be destroyed by those clouds.” Meanwhile, many other powerful beings on Agri Planet also sensed the anomaly here. After all, it was rare for even one person to ascend in hundreds of years on a single planet. The arrival of the Heavenly Calamity meant that someone was about to reach the Mahayana stage. A being who reached the Mahayana stage was already half on their way to the celestial realm; they only needed to wait for all their energy to transform into immortal power before they could ascend directly. Usually, when someone on the same planet underwent the transformation, other cultivators in the transformation stage or even those at the Mahayana stage would come to watch. Those in the transformation stage wanted to learn from the experience, while those at the Mahayana stage wanted to congratulate the other party once the transformation was complete, so they could join them.

On the planet Agri, there had been no signs of celestial calamity for over fifty years, so the emergence of such disturbances naturally drew the attention of many powerful beings. Above the inn where Ye Feng was staying, colorful clouds gradually formed, unlike the traditional black clouds of the heavens. The unusual sight in the sky also caught the attention of many passersby. Though they might not know what those clouds were, they couldn’t help but stop to take a look at such beautiful clouds. The powerful beings scanned the area with their mental powers and, upon discovering that the energy fluctuations originated from the inn where Ye Feng was, most decided to observe further, while some instantly teleported near the inn to watch the ordeal up close. Ye Feng handed a top-quality spirit crystal to the inn owner and then disappeared with his two beasts from everyone’s sight, leaving behind a group of people staring at each other, completely unaware of what had happened. The inn owner looked up at the ceiling with a large hole in it, feeling resentful, but when he saw the top-quality spirit crystal in his hand, that resentment vanished instantly. He waved at the waiter and said, “Waiter, find some craftsmen to fix this hole!” Ye Feng took his two beasts to a dense forest before looking up at the sky. The color of the calamity clouds in the sky really surprised him. Although he had never experienced a celestial calamity himself, he knew that ordinary calamity clouds were usually black, similar to thunderclouds during heavy rain. He had heard of colored calamity clouds before—they were those encountered only by those who defied the heavens. Usually, such clouds were several times or even dozens of times more powerful than ordinary calamity clouds. Seeing the swirling colored clouds above, Ye Feng began to feel worried… “I wondered who was undergoing the calamity test—it turns out to be this little guy!” A familiar voice suddenly came from behind Ye Feng. Fatte walked over with a smile, stood beside Ye Feng, and looked up at the sky. “Colorful calamity clouds mean this little guy has unlimited potential in the future. Such clouds appear only as a test for cultivators at an extraordinary level, and they are much more powerful than ordinary calamity clouds.” “I know!” Ye Feng frowned slightly.

“But you don’t need to worry!” Fat continued to reassure him. “Although I don’t know what happened to it, I can see that its current cultivation level is already at the early stage of an immortal. Moreover, it has extensive combat experience, so it should have no trouble dealing with this kind of situation!”
Hearing Fat say this, Ye Feng felt a little more at ease. His slightly furrowed brows relaxed a bit as he looked up at the colorful clouds in the sky, which were emitting continuous rumbling sounds…
