Calamity of Tomorrow

Fifty thousand meters above Central City, this area was already extremely close to the cosmic vacuum zone. The particles in the air were far sparser compared to the surface, closely resembling the state of outer space.

Countless Heavenly Demons gathered like a mighty river, aligning themselves neatly into rows.

Streams of information passed through the Heavenly Demons' communication network, directly entering their bodies.

"All units, prepare to initiate cannon mode."

Accompanied by the transformation of billions of Heavenly Demons, various parts morphed, resembling biological assemblies, metal components, stones, weeds, and even corpses, all acting in unison.

Parts of their bodies transformed, aiming toward Central City below them, simultaneously opening their cannon mouths.

Intense light surged continuously from these openings. Clusters of charged particles in a plasma state became encapsulated by electromagnetic fields, concentrating at the cannon's mouths, gradually heating up to tens of thousands of degrees.

At the same time, numerous solid projectiles also appeared within the Heavenly Demons, ready to be propelled by changes in the electromagnetic fields, capable of hitting the ground at twenty times the speed of sound.

Similar cannon mouths crowded the position of the Heavenly Demon army, uniformly aiming down at the ground, resembling a vast forest of heavy artillery.

Xing Jun, mingled among the vast army of Heavenly Demons, controlled his own body's transformed cannon mouth aiming downward.

He compared the aiming coordinates with the map and to his surprise discovered, "Central City? The target of this artillery strike is actually Central City?"

Until this moment, the majority of the Heavenly Demons still did not know the content of this operation.

Realizing the target, Xing Jun was taken aback, "Are they launching a full-scale attack on Central City? Wouldn't that mean confronting the Heavenly Court?"

But looking at the current military strength of the Heavenly Demons, he estimated and said, "Even the Heavenly Court might struggle to withstand such an intense barrage? The ultimate battle between humans and Heavenly Demons… is it finally about to begin?"

Amidst the change in the Heavenly Demon formation, streams of information were transmitted and echoed through their network.

"All units, take note, the mission objective, besiege Central City, capture Zhou Bai."

With the dissemination of this information, numerous images, videos of Zhou Bai, and various related data were delivered to every Heavenly Demon, informing them of this capture target.

Xing Jun: "Capture Zhou Bai? The objective of assaulting Central City is to capture Zhou Bai?"

"All units, artillery strike begins, fire a hundred volleys sequentially then initiate teleportation."

"Begin!"

Billions of cannon mouths began flashing continuously, each flash indicating a massive volley of plasma being shot out at tens of thousands of degrees, throwing dazzling light toward Central City.

Numerous solid projectiles, accelerated by the electromagnetic field, plummeted like meteorites toward Central City.

This continuous barrage tore through the atmosphere, burning the sky, the ensuing tide of destruction capable of leveling any city in human history, even altering landscapes, completely transforming the local environment and climate.

Even a human main city like Central City, without the protection and support of powerful beings and relying solely on its own defensive power, would likely see its every inch swept away within minutes, its buildings torn into pieces, its pavilions in the sky shattered into dust.

…

Zhou Bai looked up at the sky, noticing the dense specks of light and immediately sensed something was off, "What is this..."

Christina said, "This feels like some kind of attack, and there are so many of them."

Zhou Bai nodded, the specks in the sky becoming more and more numerous, likely far surpassing what any ordinary person could imagine, and they seemed to still be increasing.

At the same time, as the blinding light enveloped the sky, howls and screams began echoing throughout Central City.

In the streets, factories, and homes... one by one, people looked up to the heavens, howling as their flesh contorted and transformed, turning into various forms of the Heavenly Demon.

Some looked like blocks of stone, others a mix of wild grasses and trees, still others took on animal forms, or other messy, unrecognizable shapes.

At this moment, thousands of traitors within Central City, who had been turned by the Heavenly Demon, transformed into demonic forms and began attacking their surroundings.

Hundreds more of the Heavenly Demons emerged from underground, joining the onslaught.

These demons slaughtered and destroyed everything they could lay their claws on, plunging Central City into chaos.

Confronted with this sudden attack by the Heavenly Demons, a great number of cultivators also took to the streets to combat them.

Throughout the streets, enraged Heavenly Demons fought fiercely against the cultivators, as many civilians began to evacuate, engulfing Central City in unprecedented chaos.

"The Heavenly Demons are attacking the city?"

"How did the Heavenly Demons break in!"

"Run! The Heavenly Demons are coming."

At the same time, numerous powerful cultivators also noticed something peculiar about the flashing lights in the sky.

Tu Gui Shen suddenly stood up, looking toward the sky, "It's the Heavenly Demon's barrage! We must intercept it immediately!" he directed his gaze toward the green and purple rays of light in the sky.

Hao Tian Shen Di said lightly, "Supreme Heavenly Venerate, it's your turn."

Supreme Heavenly Venerate gave a slight smile, "Then let me show you."

While they spoke, the purple light in the sky shone even more brilliantly, shooting straight into the heavens, stretching from the surface of Central City all the way to the heavenly palace above, blocking both the palace and the city.

The next moment, the location of the purple light began to warp, space itself seeming to be manipulated by an invisible hand, unfolding layer upon layer. It transformed into dozens of rings of light strung across the sky.

Zhou Bai looked up, astonished to see each ring was filled with numerous Different Space-Time images, as if countless randomly stitched together mirrors had formed protective barriers enveloping the entire sky.

The scenes from each Different Space-Time displayed varied vistas—some showed snow-covered mountain ranges, others appeared as underwater realms, some even seemed to be island beaches... Zhou Bai even spotted what seemed to be the existence of Daluo Heaven within them.

Zhou Bai thought in amazement, 'Are all these akin to the space-time of Daluo Heaven? Supreme Heavenly Venerate... just how many of these dimensions does he possess? He's actually using them in battle... No, these Different Space-Times themselves are like ultra-powerful magical weapons.'

"I remember now," Christina murmured, "This is the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's Thirty-Three Layers of Heaven, each layer as peculiar as the space-time of Daluo Heaven. To get to Supreme Heavenly Venerate, one must traverse all thirty-three space-times…"

The next moment, the barrage hit, but whether it was plasma or any form of solid shell, all attacks dissipated upon contact with those Different Space-Time images, as if the barrages had traveled across time and space into another world.

Then, even more Different Space-Time images unfolded above the heavenly palace, with countless barrages emerging from within, firing toward outer space.
