Calamity of Tomorrow

Watching the sky, Zhou Bai's eyes flashed as he soared upwards, sprinting straight towards the intercepted stream of azure qi.

Christina: "Zhou Bai! What are you doing?"

Zhou Bai: "My things, of course, I must snatch them back!"

Christina: "Have you gone mad? Competing with the Heavenly Venerate and the Divine Emperor for qi fortune?"

Zhou Bai said, "I've snatched from the Heavenly Demon and the immortal gods, why can't I snatch from the Heavenly Venerate and the Divine Emperor? Should I allow them to bully me?"

Christina shouted, "They're too strong!"

Zhou Bai: "No matter how strong, I must snatch! In this world, if you don't fight, you'll never make a name for yourself! If I can completely devour this wave of qi fortune, maybe I could possess the strength to contend with the immortal gods!"

As he spoke, Zhou Bai, holding the Human Emperor Sword, collided head-on with the azure qi fortune in the sky.

But wave after wave of invisible, intangible forces blocked his path, preventing him from touching the stream of azure qi fortune.

"Eh?" An old voice leisurely entered Zhou Bai's ears, "As a mortal, you can actually see qi fortune? And you're actively absorbing it? Truly a rare talent."

Zhou Bai instantly reacted, "Is this the Supreme Heavenly Venerate?" He had been prepared for the other party to notice this; in fact, from the moment he decided to seize the azure qi fortune, he no longer cared about it.

Compared to the boost the azure qi fortune offered against the Sky-Man Catastrophes, this was nothing.

Another voice, representing the authority of the Hao Tian Divine Emperor, commanded, "Presumptuous, the destiny of the human race is of great importance, how could you meddle? Step back."

That invisible force seemed to gain strength instantly. Zhou Bai could not advance an inch and was even pushed back, falling continuously as if a giant hand was compressing him, pressing him back to the ground.

'Damn it.' Zhou Bai glared bitterly at the two beams of light in the sky, watching the ball of azure qi fortune compress and constrict, feeling immense regret.

Just then, the Human Emperor Sword spoke, "Zhou Bai? You can actually see Heaven's favorable destiny in the sky? You can absorb this qi fortune?"

Zhou Bai snorted coldly, "Nonsense, otherwise what am I fighting for?"

The Human Emperor Sword paused briefly, then a stream of information flowed from the sword into Zhou Bai's mind, "Let me help you, use me to traverse space..."

As Zhou Bai perused the information from the Human Emperor Sword, a bright light erupted in his eyes, and he reached out to grab it, the Cold Light Glacier Sword already in his hand.

Genesis of the Stars Cataclysm!

Brilliant points of light spread from Zhou Bai's sword, like a sun exploding into being, blasting towards the invisible barrier before him.

"Audacious!" The Hao Tian Divine Emperor's voice descended from the heavens, azure radiance morphing into a large hand, enveloping the Genesis of the Stars Cataclysm. Before the sun-like explosion could fully burst forth, the hand snuffed it out as if it were snuffing out a small flame.

The Genesis of the Stars Cataclysm, capable of gravely wounding ninth realm powerhouses and damaging the finest ninth realm armors, now seemed like a mere spark before the Hao Tian Divine Emperor, effortlessly extinguished.

This was partly because the Hao Tian Divine Emperor was overwhelmingly powerful, and partly because Zhou Bai's cultivation was too low to unleash the true might of the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword.

But as the explosion dissipated, Zhou Bai's figure also vanished.

Then, with a flash of golden sword light, Zhou Bai, holding the Human Emperor Sword, had already crossed the space where the invisible barrier lay and plunged headfirst into the azure Qi Yun.

He had used the Genesis Star River Demise as a diversion and then, with the Human Emperor Sword's ability to travel through space, directly crossed over to the middle of the azure Qi Yun.

As soon as he appeared, he let out a long howl, and a great mouthful of the azure Qi Yun was sucked into his consciousness sea.

But before he could take a second breath, a cold snort already came from the horizon.

"Presumptuous."

Boom! A muffled sound came from within Zhou Bai's body. He felt excruciating pain all over as if tens of thousands of thunderbolts were exploding within him, causing a burning sensation as if his entire body caught fire.

Just from one strike, Zhou Bai was knocked out of the sky, plummeting towards the ground.

However, although his injuries were severe, he possessed the Laziness treatment ability.

Thus, when Zhou Bai fell to ten meters above the ground, he paused and instantly recovered from his injuries, floating in mid-air once again.

He looked up only to see the azure Qi Yun disappear without a trace alongside a vortex, evidently taken away by the Supreme Heavenly Venerate and the Heavenly Emperor.

"Hm? He blocked it?" At the same time, a voice of surprise came from the sky, seemingly astonished that Zhou Bai had withstood the previous move without completely losing his combat power.

At this moment, the world was enveloped in a purple and azure glow, and Zhou Bai stood in the sky with the Human Emperor Sword in hand, looking at the heavens as if a cultivator challenging the heavens and the earth.

Christina gazed at this scene, lying in her consciousness sea, mouth agape, continually emitting screams of alarm, "Ah! Zhou Bai! How could you fight them? Those are the Heavenly Emperor and Supreme Heavenly Venerate, the strongest beings standing at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Court, the mightiest among humans and gods!"

"We're definitely going to be killed by them."

Elsa said on the side, "Sister Tina, you look like a bystander who is just passing by and is shocked."

Christina: "Shut up. Zhou Bai! What do we do, should we just use Time Reverse?"

"Save the gemstone for the last moment," said Zhou Bai, shaking his head and gripping the Human Emperor Sword tighter, thinking to himself, "Moreover, with so many watching, they might not make another move against me."

Meanwhile, the entire scene was dead silent. At that moment, everyone was like ducks whose necks had been squeezed, staring blankly at Zhou Bai in mid-air with wide eyes, speechless.

Zhou Bai's successive actions had been too fast, almost as quick as a thunderbolt, before anyone could react, he had charged into the heavens, unleashed the Genesis Star River Demise with a slash, was then struck down by the Heavenly Emperor, and then continued to charge up using the Human Emperor Sword to travel through the void, only to be struck down by the Heavenly Emperor again.

This rapid sequence of events left all observers utterly dumbfounded.

Seconds later, a tremendous uproar burst forth as everyone looked at the purple and azure radiance in the sky, falling into a state of shock, tension, and even panic.

Because Qi Yun is something ordinary people cannot see or observe.

So to the crowd present, it seemed Zhou Bai had soared into the heavens, then was repelled by the Heavenly Emperor and the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, only to counterattack and be repelled again.
