Calamity of Tomorrow

Along with Xiang Tiandi's chilling voice, a fierce murderous aura came charging at me, almost freezing the air solid.

At the same time, nine trails of green fire began to spread out in the sky, starting to seal off a hundred-meter radius around Zhou Bai. Within the green fire, countless faces could be glimpsed flashing by, and faint, indistinct whispers could be heard.

The next moment, nine bizarre green dragons ascended, each with distorted human faces growing on their scales. They pressed against each other, roaring, and you could even see some faces biting others.

Xiang Tiandi said coldly, "Zhou Bai, do you think I deliberately gave you the chance to seal the Primordial Dao Cache 06? Your first downfall was relying too much on your abilities, and your second was your greed; the Primordial Dao Cache 06 is the perfect bait for you."

It turned out that Xiang Tiandi had released the Primordial Dao Cache 06 partly because his Luotian Realm would be contaminated by the distortion phenomenon, and also because he deliberately let it out for Zhou Bai to seal, planning to trap Zhou Bai in the process.

Xiang Tiandi spoke slowly, "You've been shuttling through space just now, and it was inconvenient for me to lock onto you. But you were too greedy, daring to seal the Primordial Dao Cache right in front of me. That has sealed your fate."

"You've already lost, Zhou Bai."

With that, Xiang Tiandi opened his palm, and a green fireball floated above it, with nine bizarre dragons wriggling inside.

What he held was a mutated weapon he had crafted himself, 'Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover', capable of sealing space-time and forcing all matter within the sealed environment to a near standstill, almost as if time had stopped.

Once successful, except for the Nine Fire God Cover itself, there would be nearly nothing that could affect the matter within the sealed area, making it an invincible sealing weapon.

But the only problem was that it required a certain amount of time to activate, and the longer the activation time, the larger the area it could seal.

At this moment, Xiang Tiandi was controlling the 'Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover', and the nine bizarre dragons were rapidly expanding towards Zhou Bai. Wherever they passed, all the air seemed to turn into crystal, becoming fixed in mid-air, motionless.

Facing this scene, Zhou Bai just smiled and said to his opponent, "Xiang Tiandi, did you think I would come here without any preparation?"

He pointed at his head, "From the moment you made your first move, I was already thinking about my second step. My trump cards are always more numerous than you can imagine."

"This is the power of the unknown; wisdom can never defeat the unknown, not even gods, because you don't even know what the enemy is."

While speaking, Zhou Bai opened his mouth and forcefully spat out, along with a torrent of black mud, a mass of machinery that was curled up together.

The machinery, once returned to the Material World, rapidly transformed and changed, taking on the appearance of Em.

This was the preparation Zhou Bai made during his Primordial Spirit Emergence; he went straight to awaken Em and tried to bring him along.

He initially wanted to have Em lie in ambush, but after trying to stop Em from operating the Heavenly Demon's body functionalities, he surprisingly could directly ingest the Heavenly Demon into Elsa's stomach; naturally, Elsa couldn't swallow living beings with consciousness.

So, Zhou Bai turned Em off and swallowed him, and now he spit him out and turned him on.

Zhou Bai shouted, "Em! Open the door and go back!"

"Got it."

As the connection between the Material World and the void opened up, the powers of the void gradually enveloped Zhou Bai and the others.

As Zhou Bai was gradually consumed by the darkness of the void, he looked at Xiang Tiandi one last time and said, "See you next time, Marshal of the Thunder Department; you are quite interesting. I hope that when we meet next time, you can still maintain your sanity..."

With Zhou Bai's complete disappearance, the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover completely sealed off the space, turning a hundred-meter area into an unbreakable crystal structure that radiated waves of heart-pounding allure.

"How far has the Heavenly Demon's research on the void come... What exactly is the deal with this Zhou Bai... I underestimated him, next time I must capture this kid."

"Next time won't be so easy, Zhou Bai."

Just as Zhou Bai was left with even more confusion after this battle, Xiang Tiandi's mind was also filled with ever-growing perplexities.

He furrowed his brows, listening to the rallying cries that came from not far off, and looked in the direction of Zi Yang True Monarch.

At this moment, Zi Yang True Monarch had completely transformed into a monster resembling an octopus, its tentacles shooting out in all directions, creating deep ravines in the earth.

Watching Zi Yang True Monarch, Xiang Tiandi gradually showed a slight smile: "...It wasn't a wasted trip after all."

...

More than half an hour later, Xiang Tiandi had coordinated with Fu Lei True Monarch to return to the site of the huge pit.

All the human cultivators were awakened one by one, and even Zheng Wentian and Meng Ruocun were brought back, regrouping inside the Heavenly Palace, standing before the two true divinities of the Thunder Department.

Upon seeing the somber Xiang Tiandi, everyone secretly panicked, sensing an air filled with danger and restlessness.

Xiang Tiandi looked at the people and said, "Zhou Bai used the power of a mutated being and the Heavenly Demon to kill Zi Yang True Monarch."

As soon as Xiang Tiandi finished speaking, the crowd exploded into an uproar, with Primordial Spirit power surging wildly. Although they looked at one another without saying anything out loud, countless messages were already intensely exchanged through the power of their Primordial Spirits.

"How is it possible? Zi Yang True Monarch killed by Zhou Bai?"

"Does Zhou Bai already possess the power of a celestial deity?"

"Didn't you hear that it was with the help of the Heavenly Demon and the mutant's power that Zi Yang True Monarch was killed?"

"But it wasn't just Zi Yang True Monarch here, there was also Marshal Xiang. How could he also..."

At this moment, the understanding of Zhou Bai's strength completely overturned everyone's perspectives, and now, such a terrifying existence had joined the Heavenly Demon, opposing the Heavenly Court.

A growing sense of fear towards Zhou Bai gradually crept into their hearts.

Zheng Wentian's expression was extremely complex. One was the father who had raised him from childhood with unspeakable motives, and the other was a genius he met later in life, initially an enemy but later, a comrade.

Even if Zi Yang True Monarch was unkind to them, brutal and venomous, he was still their banner against the Heavenly Demon.

And no matter how ruthless Zi Yang was, he was ultimately Zheng Wentian's father.

But now, Zi Yang had been killed by Zhou Bai—anger, regret, sorrow, emptiness, relief, and joy... a myriad of emotions were forcibly mixed together, making his feelings incredibly complex.

He could never have dreamt that Zi Yang True Monarch would be killed by Zhou Bai.

'Zhou Bai, what in the world are you doing...'

And as they returned to the Heavenly Court with this news, this astonishing intelligence swept through the entire Heavenly Court and the human race like a typhoon, bringing with it profoundly far-reaching impacts.
