Calamity of Tomorrow

Finally, when intelligence related to Spiritual People appeared, Zhou Bai couldn't bear to let it slip by easily. After three attempts with no feedback, he abruptly dove forward, submerging his entire upper body into the Void Gap before him.

"Just a little bit...even just a slight bit would be good..."

"Tell me a little bit more about Spiritual People..."

He couldn't see anything, couldn't hear anything; everything seemed to dissolve into nothingness.

The last remnants of Dr. Zhuang, which were visible just moments ago, became utterly impossible to see.

"A chaos and disorder is the Void, isn't it..."

"Lend me what I want!"

"Dr. Zhuang! Lend me anything you can!"

Zhou Bai could only open his mouth wide and shout with all his might, calling out sounds he himself couldn't hear.

"Anything is fine! Memories! Brain! Flesh! Even a single hair will do, lend it to me!"

Within a world of nothingness, nothing emerged.

A flicker of deep disappointment passed through Zhou Bai's heart.

"Is it a failure again?"

However, he quickly suppressed the disappointment.

"It doesn't matter, Dr. Zhuang's clone isn't the only one, when I seek out Primordial Dao Records 07 next time, I'll definitely figure out what he really knows."

Zhou Bai's lower body, still outside, slightly shifted and moved back.

Just as he was about to withdraw his upper body from the Void and completely give up this attempt...

A sudden tremor of fear surged from deep within his heart, an unprecedented fear struck him, making Zhou Bai's heartbeat violently accelerate, his body spasm, and he even began to convulse uncontrollably.

"What is... this feeling?"

He couldn't see anything, couldn't hear anything, yet that sudden feeling of fear made it clear to Zhou Bai that something had appeared before him, seemingly watching him.

It was an indescribable, inexplicable sensation.

Even though he couldn't perceive anything, he felt as if something was staring at him.

Even though he couldn't see or hear anything, his body instinctively filled with fear.

An astonishing thought emerged in his mind: 'Are there other beings in the Void?'

He struggled to withdraw from the Void, moving his entire upper body back into the Material World, viewing the dark Void Gap before him with a puzzled expression.

'What in the world is it...'

As Zhou Bai pondered this, he suddenly froze slightly, his hand subconsciously clenched, feeling as though it had grasped something.

He looked down and saw within the palm of his right hand, a strand as thick as a pinky finger that had appeared unknowingly...

"Is this...a hair?"

Zhou Bai was startled: "Was my earlier desperate attempt actually successful? Only it didn't affect Dr. Zhuang but something else."

He was very familiar with using the ability called "Extreme Disaster," understanding well the scope and limitations of its effects.

Non-living entities without intelligence or consciousness wouldn't respond at all.

At the very least, it would have to be something akin to a Heavenly Demon.

He looked toward the dark, unseen Void Gap before him.

At this moment, Zhou Bai was utterly convinced that his earlier idea was correct.

"There are living creatures in the Void, ones with consciousness, with intelligence... beings that can be affected by Extreme Disaster."

Looking at the Void before him, Zhou Bai suddenly felt this unknown realm was even more mysterious than he had previously thought.

'The Void, stretching across the history of demons, gods, Spiritual People, intelligent beings, Heavenly Demons...'

At this moment, Zhou Bai also began to calm down a bit, gradually pondering the information given by Dr. Zhuang.

'Dr. Zhuang said that demons, gods, and intelligent beings all harbor malicious intents, also urging me to continue cultivating Primordial Dao Records...'

'I could feel it, the first time he vanished, when he spoke of Sealing Heaven and Earth, leaving no path for immortals, he was definitely serious.'

'The second time, he didn't mention his goal, nor Sealing Heaven and Earth. But his later statement clearly contradicted what he mentioned about Sealing Heaven and Earth the first time.'

'Is he... deliberately making me oppose the demons and gods, tempting me to continue cultivating Primordial Dao Records 06.'

'Could this be related to his Sealing Heaven and Earth plan? And his previous plan to set the world ablaze, cloning various historical figures...'

Although Zhou Bai wanted to carefully ponder the causality, the situation in this area was becoming increasingly dire, and he had no time to delay any longer. He turned and flew towards the giant tree representing Primordial Dao Records 06, planning to secure Primordial Dao Records 06 first.

The giant tree, influenced by changes in the Void, became agitated, its white trunk trembling intensely. Giant branches, like arms, continuously flailed, striking out in all directions and emitting a booming sound.

"It has actually turned into this."

Zhou Bai casually pointed a finger, and roaring Sword Qi tore through the sky, shredding large swathes of white tree into pieces.

Just like that, Zhou Bai casually unleashed thousands of Sword Qi, swiftly rending the giant tree before him apart, revealing an internally bizarre statue over five meters tall.

At this moment, Zhou Bai's strength had multiplied immensely compared to the past, and even if the Twisted Shadow had only half his strength, suppressing Primordial Dao Records 06 was much easier than before.

He then saw him slap his palm on the statue's head, fierce Primordial Spirit power bursting forth, crushing down like Mount Tai, rendering the entire statue immobile.

"This Twisted Shadow of mine definitely can't stand against Zi Yang True Monarch and the others, if I take it out directly, they'd probably snatch it away."

"Then there's only one way..."

A glint flashed in Zhou Bai's eyes: "Direct visualization, breakthrough in one breath using lazy points."

Primordial Spirit power enveloped the statue representing Primordial Dao Records 06, and Zhou Bai began visualization with the Twisted Shadow.

Zhou Bai's physical body and the Twisted Shadow were nearly one, the Twisted Shadow acting like an extension of his physical form, allowing all perceptions to be transmitted to him without reserve, 100% accurately.

Using the Twisted Shadow for visualization was almost no different from his original body doing it, practically the same.

Before long, a prompt appeared on the auxiliary cultivation system panel.

"Do you wish to spend 2.5 million lazy points to learn Primordial Dao Records 06?"

Lazy points instantly decreased from 7 million to 4.5 million.

...

In an underground cave, a fierce aura exploded from Zhou Bai's body.

Under the oppressive might, Xuan Nu couldn't help stepping back.

Feeling Zhou Bai's might skyrocketing every second, she was shocked: "This is...a direct breakthrough? Can Zhou Bai practice Primordial Dao Records 06 remotely through a split form? So quickly?"
