Calamity of Tomorrow

Feeling the change transmitted from the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, the White Shadow Man let out a soft shout, and an invisible fluctuation spread out from his body.

Zhou Bai, "He's trying to use some kind of powerful move, right? Stop him!"

Xuan Nu, "You don't need to tell me, I already know."

She then saw Xuan Nu's figure dash violently and had already performed Instantaneous Movement to arrive beside the White Shadow Man. Her five fingers clasped together like a knife, and she slashed towards the White Shadow Man.

Faced with Xuan Nu's attack, the White Shadow Man's right hand brought up a magical glow, and as he swung it, it seemed to lift layers of force fields, forming a huge vortex that blocked each of Xuan Nu's attacks.

"It's that move again!" Xuan Nu's previous offensive had been blocked by the opponent's pure martial arts, and now it was still the same.

While their fists and palms crossed paths, a crack suddenly emerged behind the White Shadow Man, and the crack violently expanded, revealing an infinite darkness, a space both infinitely large and infinitely small, infinitely far and infinitely near.

"It's the void!" Zhou Bai was startled, "He must be trying to leverage the power of the void to perform some sort of strong art."

Xuan Nu watched the White Shadow Man warily, her body swiftly retreating, "I also know it's an art! The key is what kind!"

The next moment, a spattering sound arose, and the White Shadow Man instantly became a sheet of blood red, as if the blood from within his body was spurting out, landing on the white mist surrounding him.

His entire being's aura along with the fluctuations of his spiritual consciousness plummeted considerably in an instant, clearly indicating that the art he had just used had taken a huge toll and placed a significant burden on him.

At the same time, it seemed as if a black shadow flickered through the void behind him, and the next instant, an enormous eyeball abruptly filled the entire crack, staring intently at the place where Xuan Nu and Zhou Bai stood.

Pure white flames burst forth from Xuan Nu's body, and she let out a scream.

However, when the white flames burned on Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit, Zhou Bai felt completely unharmed; even upon contact with his Primordial Spirit, they extinguished immediately.

Nevertheless, as the white flames seared on Xuan Nu, a strange feeling arose in Zhou Bai's heart, and he felt that the connections between Fools, Fool's Calamities, Nine Calamities, and Xuan Nu had been severed.

"This is bad!" Zhou Bai instantly reacted, the opponent had performed some weird art that had cleansed his control over Xuan Nu.

Zhou Bai had realized during his previous cultivation that the Nine Calamities of Heaven and Man was merely an extremely strong Cultivation Technique, and although each power was formidable and even strange, there was a method to cultivate it.

Since there was a method to cultivate it, and since it was something humans could train, it meant there was an internal logic to it, and naturally, there would be ways to break it, or at least think of ways to break it.

However, Zhou Bai had never seen anyone break his Nine Calamities of Heaven and Man before and had subconsciously ignored this fact.

Until this moment, Zhou Bai encountered for the first time an art capable of removing his control through the Nine Calamities of Heaven and Man.

However, the art performed by the opponent could only remove his control over Xuan Nu, but it couldn't harm Zhou Bai, nor could it remove the abilities of the Nine Calamities of Heaven and Man present on him, such as Primordial Spirit Emergence, Imposing Like a Mountain, or Tainting of the Flesh.

Even the white flames extinguished upon contacting Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit.

Clearly, the level of this art was not as high as the Nine Calamities of Heaven and Man and could only cleanse those controlled by it, not affecting the user themselves.

Even so, this was enough to astonish Zhou Bai and gave rise to a deep wariness in his heart.

'This time when I return, I must thoroughly research the cultivation method of the Nine Calamities of Heaven and Man and understand its principles...'

But Zhou Bai also understood that now was not the time for surprise because if Xuan Nu had broken free from the control of the Fool's Calamities...

Boom!

Then, they saw a burst of strong power explode from Xuan Nu, directly attempting to squeeze Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit out from her sea of consciousness.

Xuan Nu bit her teeth tightly; free from the influence of the Fool and the Fool's Calamities, she recalled the process of following Zhou Bai and fighting alongside him, feeling both angry and resentful, she hoarsely shouted, "Zhou! Bai! I'm going to kill you!"

Zhou Bai directly activated the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, trying to subdue Xuan Nu.

Although the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor and Xuan Nu could perfectly integrate, the control of the entire armor was in Zhou Bai's hands.

When Zhou Bai ceased the armor's enhancement to Xuan Nu, the armor turned into a huge cage, locking Xuan Nu inside.

At the same time, White Shadow Man and Wei Cang took the opportunity to attack. Without Xuan Nu's manipulation, the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor was hit by waves of attacks and sent flying backward, crashing into the sea with a boom.

Zhou Bai said, "Xuan Nu, listen to me, this isn't the time..."

"Shut up!!" Xuan Nu roared angrily. "What else comes out of your mouth other than lies? Your abilities are activated through lies, aren't they? I won't believe a single punctuation of what you say!"

Having been up close with Zhou Bai and falling for his Fool's Disaster for so long, Xuan Nu had come to understand Zhou Bai's abilities better.

'Lies, all lies,' Xuan Nu thought furiously. 'As soon as I believe his lies, my thinking ability declines, my head becomes muddled, and my memory worsens... Lies are his weapon.'

Zhou Bai frowned and suddenly said affectionately, "I like you."

Xuan Nu: "Hmph."

Boom! Xuan Nu immediately activated her Material Shuttling ability, and her body violently burst through the armor.

Then she turned around and grabbed the head of the armor, saying with a chilling face, "Zhou Bai, confront your filthy heart. Aside from those twisted lies... what else is there?"

The entire armor began to vibrate violently as Xuan Nu once again triggered the distortion within.

At the same time, Zhou Bai felt his contamination level rapidly increasing. Combined with the previous accumulation, it had already broken through to 110/105 and was still climbing.

This was Xuan Nu directly activating her ability, triggering the distortion in Zhou Bai's heart.

Zhou Bai snorted coldly, controlling the armor to grasp Xuan Nu's hand tightly: "Stop!"

Xuan Nu laughed out loud, showing no intention of stopping.

Zhou Bai, watching White Shadow Man and Wei Cang approaching, fiercely punched toward Xuan Nu, trying to knock her unconscious.

Xuan Nu raised her hand to block Zhou Bai's fist, and with a loud collision, her arm, which struck the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, had already fractured, yet her face was all smiles: "Zhou Bai, don't you want to protect humanity? Today, I'll turn you into a mutant completely and see if your human friends will kill you."

Feeling his contamination level rising higher, Zhou Bai yelled angrily, "Have you lost your mind!? Now is not the time for infighting. Let's take down that White Shadow Man together!" He ferociously smashed his fists against Xuan Nu's head.

Xuan Nu grabbed Zhou Bai's hands, even as her own hand bones shattered and blood streamed, her tone icy cold: "As long as you die, no one else matters!" She continued to activate her ability, recklessly triggering the distortion in Zhou Bai's thoughts.

Zhou Bai roared, "Xuan! Nu!"

Xuan Nu coldly replied, "Zhou Bai!"

Both sides stared straight at each other, their wills colliding in the void as if sparks were about to ignite.

Then, accompanied by a thunderous explosion, the surrounding seawater violently burst apart, and the heads of the two collided fiercely.

Blood sprayed and bones shattered, their knees collided with a bang, Xuan Nu's knee fractured and twisted, and she looked like a broken doll.

Meanwhile, Zhou Bai's mind became hazy, the distortion in his heart intensifying.

Zhou Bai, looking at the crazed Xuan Nu, said coldly, "In that case, I'll kill you first today."

Xuan Nu's gaze was utterly cold: "Come on!"
