Chapter 696: 694 Extinguish Catastrophe
Zhou Bai: "Could it be that both the Divine Emperors and the Heavenly Daos are aware that Zi Yang is a demon?"
The thought alone sent a chilling shiver through Zhou Bai's heart.
Christina: "How could that be possible? If the Divine Emperors and the Heavenly Daos really knew that Zi Yang was a demon, then what would they want to do? Allow a demon to become a god? Don't they have a vendetta against demons?"
Zhou Bai kept shaking his head inwardly, the logic was becoming increasingly bizarre, and he couldn't fathom what the Divine Emperors and the Heavenly Daos intended.
Thus, in the midst of battle, he spoke up, attempting to coax some words out of Xiang Tiandi.
Zhou Bai: "Xiang Tiandi, I have long known the secrets of Heaven, but I have no intention of being your enemy. Just give me the 'Primordial Dao Treasury 06,' and I'll turn around and leave, never meddling in your affairs again."
Xiang Tiandi casually blocked Zi Yang True Monarch's offensive and said with a sneer, "Zhou Bai, do you know what your biggest mistake is?"
Zhou Bai was slightly stunned, not expecting Xiang Tiandi to suddenly say this.
Only to hear Xiang Tiandi continue: "You rely too much on your abilities, on the power of lies. When everything you say is a lie, then every statement becomes the truth."
Zhou Bai's expression changed subtly, realizing what Xiang Tiandi was about to say.
Xiang Tiandi: "Did you think I actually believed you knew about Zi Yang's demonic true form beforehand? I was merely testing you. The lies you responded with instead confirmed the truth for me."
"You know nothing at all."
"You don't even understand who your real enemy is."
Having said that, Xiang Tiandi suddenly looked up at the sky, a faint smile on his lips: "It's about time."
Then, the purple lightning in the sky seemed to have been brewing to its final moment, all power converging, shrinking into a truck-sized purple speck, still diminishing, sending out heart-stopping power fluctuations.
Faced with this situation, a spatial rift opened behind Xiang Tiandi, and he stepped back, entering his own Luotian Realm, looking at Zhou Bai with a smile, "Enjoy the power of the Heavenly Tribulation."
"What!" Zhou Bai, seeing this scene, was startled and quickly realized, "Could it be that this guy purposely hid this tactic earlier, could have completely evaded all attacks by hiding in the Luotian Realm, just to wait for the Heavenly Tribulation to descend?"
Zi Yang True Monarch, seeing the changes in the Heavenly Tribulation, showed a look of fear. His body immediately began to transform, seemingly attempting to turn back into human form to once again evade the Heavenly Tribulation's detection.
But as he retracted his body, reverting to his original human form, the Heavenly Tribulation in the sky showed no sign of change, continuing to slowly shrink and descend.
Zhou Bai frowned and said, "What on earth is this? What's so powerful about the Heavenly Tribulation? How powerful can it be?"
Christina: "I don't know, maybe my memory hasn't come back to me yet."
On the other side, Zi Yang True Monarch exclaimed in shock, "How could this be? I have already changed back! Why hasn't the Heavenly Tribulation disappeared? It shouldn't be like this, this is not what was agreed with the Divine Emperor!"
Zhou Bai watched the scene without a word, noticing that Zi Yang's former favored fate did not seem to follow with his return to human form.
But Zhou Bai had no time for much else, watching the Heavenly Tribulation fall inch by inch; he decided to think of a way to stop it.
However, Zhou Bai certainly wouldn't dare to confront it head-on; even Xiang Tiandi had to avoid it.
On the other side, Zi Yang True Monarch's eyes were full of bloodshot veins, looking completely insane. He turned back into a demon ape and lunged at Zhou Bai, unleashing desperate attacks as if he intended to make Zhou Bai share the brunt of the Heavenly Tribulation with him.
"Zhou Bai, you ruined my years of cultivation! Let's die together!"
Faced with Zi Yang True Monarch's onslaught, Zhou Bai struck with his sword, executing the Genesis Galaxy Collapse move, and clashed directly with Zi Yang True Monarch.
A small sun seemed to slowly rise in the sky, and with a howling wind, Zhou Bai and the Mysterious Lady frantically retreated.
But of course, Zhou Bai and the Mysterious Lady did not believe that this would be enough to kill Zi Yang. As they watched a figure burst through the explosion and continue charging at them, Zhou Bai directly channeled the pollution generated in the aftermath of the Genesis Galaxy Collapse into the body of Zi Yang True Monarch.
Zi Yang True Monarch screamed in agony, his eyes wide open as the flesh beneath the surface of his monkey body undulated, as if it could mutate again at any moment.
"How is this possible? Zhou Bai... what exactly have you done?!"
His eyes were filled with unwillingness, and with a skyward roar, the changes in his flesh became more and more violent.
With the last of his rationality, he looked towards Zhou Bai, roaring with regret and resentment: "I had already become a celestial deity! I had countless lifespans! I had the opportunity to glimpse into the mysteries of Heavenly Dao! Why! Why must I be destroyed by you! I cannot accept this! I simply cannot accept it!"
Zhou Bai, without hesitation, launched another Genesis Galaxy Collapse, sending Zi Yang True Monarch hurtling towards the ground.
At the same time, more than two hundred points of pollution were injected into the body of Zi Yang True Monarch, who could no longer withstand such changes, and in the agonizing screams, began his final mutation.
Boom! A long and thick tentacle, saturated with blood, burst forth directly from Zi Yang True Monarch's mouth.
Seeing Zi Yang True Monarch undergo complete mutation, Zhou Bai, grabbing the Mysterious Lady, swiftly retreated: "Let's go!"
Hand in hand, the two of them fled, with Zhou Bai's eyes firmly fixed on the purple lightning in the sky.
Zhou Bai, having observed the changes in fate of mortals, celestial deities, demons, and the Mysterious Lady on many occasions, had two hypotheses as he watched the mutating Zi Yang.
"Either the so-called Heavenly Tribulation will continue to descend, perhaps directly striking dead the mutated form of Zi Yang?"
"Or could it be that after mutating, he is considered a different creature, a distinct consciousness, thereby causing the Heavenly Tribulation to dissipate?"
Just as Zhou Bai was pondering this, accompanied by Zi Yang's body bursting with enormous tentacles, turning completely into an octopus-like monster, the Heavenly Tribulation in the sky seemed to lose its target and began to fade away slowly.
"It's resolved…" Zhou Bai let out a sigh of relief. He had not expected Zi Yang to transform into a demon, nor had he expected that such a transformation would still invite a Heavenly Tribulation, let alone suspect that Xiang Tiandi would try to use it against them, plotting to have others do his dirty work.
"But in the end, I still resolved it. My trump cards are more plentiful than you thought."
"Next, it should be their turn."
Zhou Bai let out a faint smile: "Let's go, Mysterious Lady!"
Hand in hand, each using the power of the Human Emperor Sword and mutation abilities, they rapidly blinked towards the place where Xiang Tiandi had just disappeared.
Shortly after they arrived, the spatial rift opened again, and a roaring statue was thrown out.
This was when Zhou Bai manipulated the Twisting Shadow to release Primitive Dao Repository 06, intentionally loosening the seal on it.
As a result, not long after Primitive Dao Repository 06 had been placed in Xiang Tiandi's Luotian Realm, it broke through the seal and triggered a spatial distortion.
Zhou Bai had only thought that Primitive Dao Repository 06 would definitely be taken by a deity and that he wanted to sabotage them.
He had not expected it to be placed directly into Xiang Tiandi's Luotian Realm by Xiang Tiandi himself.
He did not know what impact the spatial distortion triggered by Primitive Dao Repository 06 now would have on Xiang Tiandi's Luotian Realm.
In any case, seeing the roaring Primitive Dao Repository 06, Zhou Bai already wore a faint smile, grabbing the statue and then sealing it again.
At the same time, a chilling voice from Xiang Tiandi echoed from within the Luotian Realm: "Zhou Bai... you're courting death."
