Chapter 693: 691 Monster
Watching Zi Yang True Monarch suddenly break through his human skin and transform into a monkey, Zhou Bai was instantly shocked; his original plan and tactics were nothing like this.
"What's going on? I only increased his pollution degree, didn't I? Even after mutating with a pollution degree of 190, how could he turn into something like a monkey?"
Although mutated creatures varied wildly, messy and ugly enough to shock the heavens and move the earth, the monkey before him gave Zhou Bai a different feeling, especially since among the other's wild gaze, Zhou Bai could sense a trace of intelligence.
At the same time, Christina suddenly yelled in his mind, "No, this is not a mutated creature; it's a demon!"
"A demon?" Zhou Bai was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized. In his Demon Illuminating Eye, he could see a strong demon aura bursting from the other's body, something that normally he could only see on mortals.
And certainly, the original gods, the original Zi Yang True Monarch, absolutely did not possess any demon aura.
Zhou Bai: "What's happening? Zi Yang True Monarch mutated and turned directly into a demon?"
Christina: "I don't know... But this guy is indeed a genuine demon; his demon aura is much heavier than that of ordinary mortals, his demonic lineage is strong."
Meanwhile, Xiang Tiandi, witnessing this scene, his face suddenly changed, particularly when combining Zhou Bai's words under his offensive just moments ago, a flicker of suspicion crossed his face.
He immediately stopped his attack on Zhou Bai, retreating far away, and coldly looked at Zi Yang True Monarch and Zhou Bai, saying, "Well done, Zhou Bai, impressive tactics. You've uncovered even this matter, no wonder you side with the Heavenly Demon. So was Zi Yang revealing his true form also part of your plan?"
Zhou Bai paused, initially filled with question marks in his mind, but the next moment, upon hearing Xiang Tiandi's question, he burst into wild laughter, "Xiang Tiandi, what's this... The whole battle has been in my hands, you will be skinned today even if you don't die."
Xiang Tiandi's expression turned cold, the murderous intent in his eyes intensifying.
He turned his head to look at Zi Yang, his expression serious, and asked, "Zi Yang, have you gone mad? Revealing your true form here?"
Zi Yang True Monarch, upon hearing this, became even more wildly enraged, his fur inflated with a metallic clang.
At the same time, he opened his mouth and a powerful gust burst forth, as if he had spewed an air bomb, exploding with a boom in the mid-air.
Zi Yang True Monarch roared, his voice full of wildness and anger, "If I don't activate my true form now, I'll mutate! Even if I counteract the mutation using the power of my bloodline, I only have ten years of life left!"
"Ten years of life!" Zi Yang True Monarch roared, his tone filled with grief and indignation, "I'm ruined! You all come and be buried with me!"
Thinking of himself, from nearly indestructible true deity of the heavenly court to now just having ten years before complete mutation, Zi Yang True Monarch had completely lost his sanity. His life's achievements had been destroyed, and there was no longer any hope in his life.
Ten years of life was practically like just a month to the gods.
And what would a person do if they knew they only had a month to live?
Zi Yang was now in such a state, coupled with the 'madness' invoked by the full 190 points of pollution degree of disaster.
At this moment, his hatred for Zhou Bai was too intense to be written, even the vast waters of the four oceans could not wash it away.
Just then, clouds gathered in the sky, and the black clouds swirled violently like a vortex, with purple thunderbolts brewing inside, releasing devastating energy.
Xiang Tiandi exclaimed in anger, "Zi Yang! Withdraw your true form now! The sky tribulation is coming!"
"Hahahaha! Then let's die together!"
"Zhou Bai! You'll be the first!"
Zi Yang burst into a mad cackle as his massive demonic monkey true form stepped onto the atmosphere, as if he were standing on an invisible land. In the blink of an eye, he had torn through the void to appear behind Zhou Bai, his sharp claws exploding out from his fingers. His fan-like gigantic hand was already reaching out to grab Zhou Bai's head.
Faced with Zi Yang's attack, all Zhou Bai could perceive was a flash before his eyes, as the huge palm descended like a mountain peak.
He slashed out with his sword, and together with Christina, they erupted with all their strength. Layers of Primordial Spirit power converged within the sword's momentum, combining the forces of Zhou Bai's and Christina's Primordial Spirit, the enhancement from the Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor, and the gravitational pull of the Tianhe Star Explosion sword...
The flying sword collided with Zi Yang's palm, and amidst a sorrowful wailing, the flying sword was slapped away, its blade covered in cracks.
While Zhou Bai and Christina's Primordial Spirit power clashed against the flesh of their adversary, they felt waves of blood and power igniting like flames, crushing their Primordial Spirit power and causing a faint dizziness in their heads.
Having broken through Zhou Bai's counterattack, Zi Yang's massive palm continued to come down unstoppably, as if intending to pulverize Zhou Bai into mincemeat.
However, that brief moment of struggle bought Zhou Bai enough time to draw the Emperor's Sword.
The Emperor's Sword exclaimed, "Where did this giant monkey come from... No, wait, where did this monkey demon come from?!"
Zhou Bai: "It's Zi Yang True Monarch's transformation, have you not learned this after being in the Heavenly Court for so long?"
The Emperor's Sword Spirit Chuzhi shouted, "Zi Yang True Monarch? How is that possible?!"
Zhou Bai: "Stop talking nonsense. This demonic monkey's body is inconceivably strong; we can't fight him head-on. We need to retreat!"
With a flash of the sword light, Zhou Bai and the Emperor's Sword teleported through space, evading the opponent's offensive.
Zi Yang roared furiously, his huge demonic monkey body looked bulky yet moved with incredible agility, rolling and then instantly appearing behind Zhou Bai.
Christina inwardly roared, "This is the mystic power of a demon! This guy can also teleport!"
The monkey face of Zi Yang True Monarch was twisted and ferocious, his sharp teeth bristling, a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, flashing a smile like a cat playing with a mouse.
"Zhou Bai! Can you escape?"
He followed closely behind Zhou Bai, his hands conjuring thunderbolts that formed into a colossal Thunder Force sword, slashing down from above with the momentum of Heaven and Earth Creation towards Zhou Bai.
The mere backlash of swinging the sword cut opened the clouds, leaving a long crack on the ground.
But Zhou Bai remained unmoved, not even bothering to defend with his sword, simply slashing again and teleporting away.
Zi Yang True Monarch flipped and followed, each teleportation keeping his thunderbolt sword in a continuous downward slash, each attempt coming closer to Zhou Bai's form, the thunder force nearly stimulating a faint sensation of paralysis on Zhou Bai from the electricity.
Christina exclaimed in terror, "We can't escape! What do we do now?"
Elsa replied with a calm face, "Sister Tina, you're making a side character's remark again."
Christina slapped Elsa on the head with a cat paw, "Nobody asked for your opinion! Is now really the time for this during such a crisis?"
The Emperor's Sword Spirit Chuzhi was also alarmed, "Zhou Bai! I knew nothing good comes from following you! If you die, I'll surely be toyed with at the mercy of this monkey demon, enduring endless humiliation!"
Zhou Bai confidently smiled, "What's the rush? The show has just begun." Looking at Zi Yang True Monarch's current form, he thought to himself, 'This time I truly have discovered incredible information. The depths of the Heavenly Court are even more profound than I previously imagined.'
After another flash of teleportation, Zhou Bai stopped evading and didn't even take a defensive stance with his sword but calmly activated the Catastrophe Domain instead.
In an instant, Zi Yang True Monarch's thunderous sword veered off course, clashing with Xiang Tiandi's lightning blade in a split second. Sparks and lightning filled the sky in their fierce collision.
