A single source of quote, and I really doubt we can find anything related in recorded history. The history books of China definitely didn't mention anything significant about year 536.

They should, a global darkening of the skies due to an unknown volcano or volcanoes (or something else that spewed massive amounts of dust into the atmosphere).

There’s a solid amount evidence showing that there was some kind of abnormal volcanic winter in 536.

Whether it was “the worst year in history” is probably tough to quantify and prove, though.
