Calamity of Tomorrow

"I can't follow his line of thinking, since he already knows I can control the array and restrictions, he must be prepared. Hmph, even without using the array, can't I still take down a mere mortal?"

Thinking this, Zi Yang changed his hand seals and directly shut down the mansion's array and restrictions, then a small square seal flew straight into the sky.

The square seal spun in the air and swelled up violently like a ball of meat, countless pale hands burst forth, their arms flailing as if struggling in the water, desperately reaching outwards, expanding and extending, casting a huge shadow that instantly covered the entire mansion.

The overwhelming evil intent accompanied the transformation of the square seal, which was none other than the deformed weapon Fangyin Seal, gifted to Jue Ji in the past.

Seeing this spectacle, Christina instantly felt cold sweat soak her spine, as if her legs had gone weak.

Zhou Bai's voice came through, "Don't be afraid, Tina, everything is under my control."

When Zi Yang True Monarch suddenly activated Fangyin Seal, one could see it become a mass of palms, these myriad palms struggling and reaching out as they slapped down, as if to flatten the entire mansion.

Just then, Zhou Bai possessed Xiang Haocu's body, completely controlling the flesh beneath the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, and walked out slowly, looking up at the sky at Zi Yang and said, "Zi Yang, we have no desire to fight you, look carefully, what is this?"

With that said, one saw Zhou Bai, garbed in Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, flick his sword-finger, sending forth a burst of golden light, with Renhuang Sword floating in front of him. Under the infusion of Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit power, the sword emitted bursts of Sword Qi that pierced the sky, violently colliding with the giant hands of Fangyin Seal in the air.

Under the cutting of the Sword Qi, large swaths of hands fell down, vibrating continuously and emitting screams like those of a human being.

At the same time, the Sword Qi that touched Fangyin Seal twisted and deformed, turning into thousands of pale hands, merging into Fangyin Seal.

"What?" Zhou Bai was slightly startled in his heart, "What is this thing? It gives me a sense of deformation."

On the other hand, Zi Yang True Monarch did not care about these at all, but stared intently at Xiang Haocu wearing the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, "You... you can use Renhuang Sword? Who are you? Are you also of the pure-blooded human race?"

Although Zhou Bai was extremely surprised by the power of Fangyin Seal, he quickly pressed it down with his extraordinary psychological quality, continuing according to the original plan, "Indeed, I am not Zhou Bai, but I am also of the pure-blooded human race."

Remembering the information Jue Ji had told him, Zhou Bai said directly, "I know that the four divine deities have pure-blooded humans in their possession, but did you think only you have them? The Immortals have had them for a long time too, they're just accompanying you in playing this game of Daluo Heaven discussions."

A series of words, like a thunderclap, resonated loudly in the mind of Zi Yang True Monarch, but the presence of Renhuang Sword was irrefutable, and the Zhou Bai standing nearby was surely genuine, which meant there truly were two pure-blooded humans on Wanxian Island.

Recalling that Zhou Bai knew he was coming and also controlled the array, Zi Yang True Monarch was suddenly shocked, even thinking whether all this was an Immortal's setup.

"Have the Immortals already grasped the pure-bloods?"

In that moment, although Zi Yang True Monarch did not believe it entirely, he believed at least half of it.

Zhou Bai once again upped the ante, "Still don't believe it? This time the Divine Emperor and the Heavenly Sovereign are hosting the Daluo Heaven discussions to collect the human race's fate energy, the reason for placing this hidden piece was to let Zhou Bai secure an extra portion of fate energy for the Heavenly Sovereign. Aren't you doing the same by arranging Wei Cangsheng?"

Zi Yang True Monarch was startled, the business of the Divine Emperor and the Heavenly Sovereign collecting human fate energy was not known to mortals, it was an internal secret of the gods and Immortals.

The appearance of Renhuang Sword, the leak of the fate energy plan, along with the previous reduction of nearly thirty points of wisdom.

At this moment, under this triple coercion, Zi Yang believed most of what Zhou Bai had thrown out, and the appearance of the two pure-bloods also completely reduced the value of Zhou Bai's pure blood in his eyes from before.

Zi Yang True Monarch's wisdom -15

Zhou Bai's lips curled up slightly, "The most likely reason the Four Righteous Gods are trying to capture me is my pure-blood lineage. Jue Ji said they have a pure-blood human, while the Immortals seem to know nothing about it. This suggests that the Righteous Gods don't want the Immortals to obtain pure-blood lineage, which I fear is the main reason they're after me."

The drop in Zi Yang True Monarch's wisdom score meant that he believed at least some of what Zhou Bai had said, if not all of it.

A consecutive 45-point drop in wisdom would've turned a normal person into an idiot, but for Zi Yang True Monarch, he still remained within the range of the intelligent.

Therefore, rather than being overwhelmed by these shocking messages, he decisively continued to unleash the Banishing Heavenly Palm, its ghostly white palms enveloping the entire manor.

"Damn what's actually happening, the battle is definitely in my favor right now. I'll capture them both and deal with them slowly afterward."

While making his move, Zi Yang did not forget psychological tactics, saying aloud, "Stop resisting, Zhou Bai. We are the ones truly on the side of the pure-blooded humans. The Immortals only see you as vessels for fortune."

Then, witnessing the palms of Banishing Heavenly Palm striking down, anything they touched, whether it be rooftops, gatekeepers, lawns, or even the ground itself, all transformed into more ghostly white palms, converging on Zhou Bai and Christina with horrifying screams.

'The Banishing Heavenly Palm can assimilate nearly anything it touches into itself, only the divine might of an Immortal wielding Luotian Dao Skill, manipulating space and time, can possibly hold it back. With Zhou Bai's strength, there's no way to resist.'

'No matter what Zhou Bai knows, since I have an overwhelming advantage in combat, the entire situation is still within my control.'

Just as Zi Yang thought this, he was shocked to see both figures below showing signs of their Primordial Spirits emerging from the sea of consciousness.

Zhou Bai shouted, "Zi Yang! If you attack us again! We'll perform Primordial Spirit Emergence and mutate directly, and then you'll never find out anything."

Seeing a multitude of ethereal figures emerging from the sea of consciousness, Zi Yang abruptly stopped the Banishing Heavenly Palm, staring directly at the two below, completely unprepared for them to threaten him with their own lives.

Annoyed, Zi Yang thought, 'I came here to attack them... and now they're threatening me with their lives?'

Zhou Bai's lips slightly curled up again, after all these preparations, Zi Yang had become too cautious to kill them.

Zi Yang True Monarch said to the two, "Rest assured, I harbor no ill will towards you. Just come with me and the Heavenly Court will ensure your safety..."

Zhou Bai shot back, "I can't trust your words, I want to talk to someone higher up from you. The body you're using now is an avatar, isn't it? Your true body isn't on Wanxian Island, right? Well then, have your true body find a deity with real authority to talk to me."

Zhou Bai thought to himself, 'Let me see if there are other gods by your side, Zi Yang.'

Deep within Central City beneath Wanxian Island, Zi Yang True Monarch's eyes snapped open, turning to Xiang Tiandi beside him, "Things have changed, besides Zhou Bai, I've also seen another pure-blood human. The Immortals may have gotten hold of pure-blood. Now Zhou Bai is threatening me with Primordial Spirit Emergence, demanding a talk with someone higher up from me, otherwise he'll die from the mutation of Primordial Spirit Emergence..."

Xiang Tiandi frowned, sensing that things were getting complicated.
