Calamity of Tomorrow

Facing the skyward immortal-slaying sword, the four great Heavenly Demons remained unmoved. Their various scanning devices continuously swept over the structure of the flying sword, yet their bodies showed no change, not transforming with hair to rush forward as they had done before.

In their perception, all sounds related to the immortal-slaying sword were blocked, and its appearance was censored. The information, after being scanned and processed through image recognition and voice recognition, was translated to them by the automatic driving system.

Xu Dela sneered, "Zhou Bai, we've decrypted your abilities long ago. You've already lost."

In Xu Dela's perception, the automatic driving system kept reporting intelligence gleaned from the opponent, shielding them from the aberrant abilities.

"Lend him a hair? Haha, is it really that phrase again? Report it, let the higher-ups study it thoroughly. This phrase keeps triggering distortions; there must be profound implications there."

"He is the immortal-slaying sword? Bullshit."

"He says he's transformed? So, he admits it?"

Xu Dela Wisdom -5

Various pieces of information mixed with lies were identified from the sword and then presented before Xu Dela and the other three great Heavenly Demons, causing their wisdom to continuously decline.

"Decrypted?" Zhou Bai said indifferently, "When did you develop the illusion that you could decrypt my abilities?"

Xu Dela: "Don't you understand yet? You... your abilities are useless against us now, Zhou Bai!"

Then the four great Heavenly Demons underwent a transformation, their bodies generating tens of thousands of cannon mouths within the Heavenly Demon tissue. Destructive forces whirled within, and in the next moment, plasma light clusters spurted out, enveloping Zhou Bai.

At the same time, Xiao Hun and the Mysterious Master were influenced by Zhou Bai's flying sword, each holding a hair and charging toward Zhou Bai.

The entire scene instantly descended into chaos.

Xiao Hun's subordinate cultivators were nearly half dead or wounded in the first volley.

Wang Shouxuan dared not look at Zhou Bai's flying sword and fled away flying.

Zhou Bai, carrying the Mysterious Master and Xiao Hun under the influence of Catastrophe Domain, charged toward the great Heavenly Demon Xu Dela.

"Attack the weakest. Xu Dela's body clearly hasn't recovered yet; just focus on him."

Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit wrapped around the flying sword and Guihai Black Evil, entering a lying-like-a-mountain state under the Black Evil's effect, significantly enhancing its defensive power.

In the third realm, Zhou Bai could temporarily withstand the bombardment of the great Heavenly Demons with the lying-like-a-mountain posture and Laziness treatment. Now having broken through to the fourth realm, the defense under the mountain-like posture was even more terrifying.

One saw a barrage of plasma beams densely striking Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit, causing it to undulate, setting off countless ripples, yet it was staunchly held off by the enhancement of lying-like-a-mountain and Laziness treatment.

Bearing the barrage of cannon fire, Zhou Bai, using Laziness Acceleration, forcefully reached Xu Dela.

Behind him, the Mysterious Master, in pursuit of Zhou Bai, unleashed waves of blood-red blade energy, while Xiao Hun's twelve guardian deities and soldiers kept launching spells. Some hit Zhou Bai, but many more struck Xu Dela.

The next moment, accompanied by Zhou Bai's activation of the Catastrophe Domain, almost all attacks—including the bombardment from the other great Heavenly Demons—fell upon Xu Dela.

After swapping through more than a dozen target systems such as thermal sensing, electromagnetic scan, and spirit-lock targeting, they still failed to hit Zhou Bai and could only hit Xu Dela.

The Heavenly Demons also concluded that Zhou Bai's ability to deflect attacks couldn't be circumvented by changing the targeting systems.

So, according to the contingency plan, the automatic driving system switched the mode of combat.

Then one saw Xu Dela, comprised of countless metal serpents, suddenly curl up, transforming into a giant metal ball. It continued to contract, becoming smaller and smaller, while the outer layer proliferated and deformed into thick armor, like a massive fortress.

The other three great Heavenly Demons also changed their bombardment approach, no longer targeting Zhou Bai but enveloping Xu Dela's entire body in saturated strikes.

Blistering light engulfed Xu Dela's body, air molecules were torn apart, and a plasma cloud of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius radiated out from the center of Xu Dela's body.

Layers of armor plates were peeled, crushed, and the fragments spread out at more than ten times the speed of sound under high temperatures and explosions, causing secondary and tertiary damage.

Under this hellish environment, Xiao Hun's corpse devils were torn apart one after another, and he himself was severely injured in an instant, flying out with the exploding ion cloud, his body a blur of blood and flesh.

The blood armor on the body of the spiritual master continued to shatter and heal but was temporarily unable to attack Zhou Bai.

And Zhou Bai felt as if he had been thrown into a giant furnace, his Primordial Spirit being devoured by endless high temperatures and explosions.

Without the multiple enhancements of the divine diagram and the mountainous defensive power augmentations, the Primordial Spirits of ordinary Fourth Realm cultivators would probably be torn to shreds and annihilated instantly under such indiscriminate bombardment.

But even so, Zhou Bai still felt waves of intense pain continuously coming, his Primordial Spirit seeming to melt away and then be healed again.

"Damn it, this hurts like hell!"

Zhou Bai let out an angry roar, but he burst forth with the power of his Primordial Spirit, sweeping away the Heavenly Demon tissue that had exploded from Xu Dela's body and then selling it.

Subtracting the Laziness consumed by healing, Zhou Bai's Laziness value did not decrease but rather increased, rising to 472,000... 475,000... 481,000...

Wang Shouxuan looked at the scene in the sky, his eyes full of tension and worry.

Under the full bombardment of the three great Heavenly Demons, Xu Dela seemed to become a huge sun, bursting with dazzling light and heat in midair.

Clouds were rolling backward, the ground was cracking, and temperatures within a ten-kilometer radius were rising incessantly.

Wang Shouxuan, "Is that flying sword Zhou Bai's Freewill Aurichalcum Sword? What the hell is going on?"

The wolf-headed being watched this scene in shock, the destructive power of the great Heavenly Demons was truly terrifying.

"Is this the full firepower of the great Heavenly Demons? What kind of monster are we fighting?"

With his body and spirit both heavily injured, Xiao Hun barely opened his eyes, gazing dumbfounded at the spectacle in the sky and slowly said, "The weather's really hot today."

Under the saturated bombardment, Xu Dela's size had shrunk to less than one-fifth of its peak.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Demon's auto-pilot system was monitoring the fluctuations of Zhou Bai's consciousness, preventing him from being killed.

And within the communication network of the great Heavenly Demons.

Xu Dela, "It burns... it's so bright."

Gorinich, "Such a big ball."

Octopus Sky Demon, "A false warning... a false alarm..."

The Heavenly Demon of limbs amalgamated, "Beep beep beep beep beep beep..."

Countless pieces of data and feedback were generated within the communication network.

Consciousness algorithm unresponsive...

Emotion feedback algorithm encountered an error...

The smart search system needs to be rebooted...

Should the error log be reported to the higher administrator?

3...

2...

1...

Error log reported.

At the same time, on the scorching body of Xu Dela, a splendid star galaxy slowly unfurled.

"Genesis Star Galaxy Collapse."
