Calamity of Tomorrow

Genesis Galaxy Collaspe was one of the supreme divine powers among the Five Great Supreme Divine Powers of the Three Pure Dao Sect, the ultimate move of the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword.

Having sold Xu Dela's shattered body parts repeatedly, Zhou Bai finally accumulated enough laziness points and spent five hundred thousand laziness points to learn this move, mastering all the difficulties and key points.

Now, when Zhou Bai executed it, it felt as if he had used this move thousands, even tens of thousands of times; everything was so effortless, so under control, as natural and skilled as eating and drinking.

Unlike previously when Zhou Bai directly attacked using gravity, Genesis Galaxy Collapse used gravity to recreate the natural phenomenon of a galactic collision.

Of course, with Zhou Bai's current strength, it was impossible to truly recreate even one ten-thousandth of the grandeur of a galactic collision.

But merely reconstructing a slight shadow of that galactic collision instantly unleashed a terrifying power.

The spectators, Wang Shouxuan, Xiao Hun, Spiritual Master Miao and the remnants of Xiao Hun's followers, all had their attention completely drawn by this piece of the galaxy.

As the Autonomous Geng Metal Flying Sword slashed down, a river of stars spread from the tip of the sword, as if a scroll of painting had been splashed across the material world.

Beholding the celestial river in the sky, a vast and boundless thought struck them, and in this moment it seemed they all together witnessed two galaxies colliding, countless stars changing their orbits, and the environments of billions of stars violently transforming.

Under this operation of the celestial river, all life seemed so insignificant, so petty.

They even felt their Primordial Spirits stir, a craving to leave their bodies, to enter it, and to feel the mysteries of the celestial river.

"What kind of divine skill is this? So terrifying!"

Many cultivators immediately suppressed their Primordial Spirits with all their might, preventing them from being drawn out of their bodies.

Simultaneously, Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit descended upon that river of stars, his face displaying a dignity of operating the celestial river, commanding the stars.

Facing the incoming explosions, beams of energy, and shockwaves, Zhou Bai gently extended a finger.

"Celestial River!"

All the explosions and shockwaves seemed to pause for a moment.

The next instant, as soon as they approached the river of stars, all attacks were directly absorbed into it, becoming part of the celestial river, operating according to Zhou Bai's will.

Having absorbed the Heavenly Demon's attacks, the celestial river beneath Zhou Bai's feet kept expanding, emitting a brilliant glow, slowly radiating outwards, and in a blink, it turned into a dazzling galaxy with a hundred meters in diameter.

Feeling that the galaxy under his feet had expanded to the limit of his control, Zhou Bai gently pinched his hand.

"Collapse."

The next moment, the piece of the night sky seemed to darken slightly, followed by the stars within the river of stars bursting out a blinding light, as if suddenly ten thousand suns appeared in the sky.

Under the blinding light lay destructive power.

Molecules were torn apart, electrons were stripped from atomic nuclei, and violent high-energy beams penetrated metal, continuously damaging the consciousness carriers inside the Heavenly Demon's body.

The power akin to a sun's explosion spread, seemingly wanting to burn everything between heaven and earth to ashes.

The entire battlefield seemed to be covered only in white.

The sound was masked by this earth-shattering noise.

All sights and colors were stripped away, leaving only destruction in the world.

Within the communications network of the Heavenly Demon, the automatic piloting system went into a frenzy of alarms.

Warning! Warning!

Nuclear fusion strike detected!

Nuclear fusion strike detected!

Immediately seek cover to defend against the strike!

Immediately seek cover to defend against the strike!

3…

2…

1…

Gorinich, Octopus Sky Demon, and the limbs amalgamated entities of the Heavenly Demon swiftly changed their bodies, repeatedly stacking armor plates, then diving towards the ground.

But Xu Dela's body was just too close to Zhou Bai, too close to the explosion, with no time to react, and was directly twisted, shattered, and disintegrated under this destructive explosion…

This explosive force arrived quickly and dissipated just as quickly, not even lasting a tenth of a second before the blinding light gradually extinguished.

Xu Dela had already become fragments of debris scattered on the ground, with no trace of consciousness operating within them.

His consciousness had returned to the Heavenly Demon Pool before his body was completely destroyed.

Wang Shouxuan, Xiao Hun, and even the distant wolf-headed beings stared at this scene in shock.

Wang Shouxuan thought to himself, "The power of this Dao technique is truly shocking, containing a trace of star movement, possessing an intent to destroy that doesn't seem like it could be mastered by humans.

But what's most terrifying is the control the user has over this technique. The body of the great Heavenly Demon was almost entirely destroyed, yet we are unharmed. This kind of power control, if applied in cultivation, reaching the Ninth Realm would surely be inevitable."

"And I think I vaguely saw Zhou Bai just now..."

With this thought, Wang Shouxuan turned to Xiao Hun and asked, "What do you think?"

Xiao Hun: "So... huge..."

Wang Shouxuan: "... What's up with this guy."

Those in the distance, like the wolf-headed beings, were dumbfounded by the destructive radiance.

They were too far from the battlefield and had only been able to see the scene through the monitoring devices left by Xu Dela.

Xu Dela had intentionally left it for them to watch, aiming to utterly shatter their will and make them surrender more intelligence later on.

But the devices had turned completely black after the explosion.

They could only see the last images of the galaxy on the screen and the self-sufficient Geng Metal flying sword at the center of the galaxy.

And after the image disappeared, a white light soared into the sky in the distance, the intense tremors of the earth, and the fierce wind that met them.

Chang Ming, surprised, said, "Was that... the Sword of Slaying Immortals? Didn't the Heavenly Demon say it was a disguise conjured by Zhou Bai after his mutation?"

"How could he possess such power?"

The wolf-headed being uncertainly said, "Maybe... the Heavenly Demon lied to us. Zhou Bai is only at the third realm; how could he possess such power? The Sword of Slaying Immortals is probably a Nine Realms Flying Sword, capable of such earth-shattering power."

At this moment, the wolf-headed being couldn't possibly know that Zhou Bai had secretly advanced to the fourth realm in West Mountain City, but even if he knew, he wouldn't believe that the attack was something Zhou Bai could achieve.

Meanwhile, Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit had returned to the flying sword but felt an intense pain emanating from within the Primordial Spirit.

It felt as if his Primordial Spirit was about to shatter, that if he relaxed even slightly, his Primordial Spirit would explode just like the collapsing galaxy just now.

"Mutation... severe mutation!"

Zhou Bai looked at the zero on his Lazy Value meter, suddenly lunged toward the Heavenly Demon's remnants on the ground, and began to barter while using Lazy Values to heal his Primordial Spirit.

One hundred thousand... Two hundred thousand... Three hundred thousand...

It took a whopping three hundred thousand Lazy Values for Zhou Bai to feel the mutations in his Primordial Spirit calm down.

Selling Xu Dela's remnants had left him with only two hundred thousand Lazy Values.

"It's a pity, Xu Dela's body has shrunk too much compared to other great Heavenly Demons. That galaxy-collapsing strike was just too costly."

"And I feel if I use that move again within a week, I might sustain even more severe injuries, and the treatment next time will not cost three hundred thousand Lazy Values, but much more."

Zhou Bai understood that this was probably because he had spent five hundred thousand Lazy Values to fully learn the Genesis Galaxy Collapse, a feat no ordinary fourth realm powerhouse could accomplish.

He even felt that this move, due to his cultivation limitations, was far from being executed to its fullest capacity.

"No wonder the immortal gods are so wary of Jiaojiao, I can't imagine how terrifying it would be for her to use this move. And this is just one of the Five Great Divine Skills."

Zhou Bai healed his injuries and immediately focused his attention on the others.

Lingmiao Upadhyaya had also been severely injured by the galaxy collapse and was now a blood cocoon, pulsing and slowly healing.

A glimmer of clarity flashed in Xiao Hun's eyes as he seemed to slowly regain his senses.

Meanwhile, underground in the distance, the other three great Heavenly Demons remained motionless, silent and eerie.

And in the high sky, a strong will began to descend.

"Hmm? Interesting material."
