Calamity of Tomorrow

Xiang Tiandi, having listened to the discourse of Zi Yang True Monarch, was not entirely convinced, but he also sensed that the Immortals might be hiding some major conspiracy from them.

He looked up at the location of Wanxian Island in the sky and suddenly said, "What do they want? No, even if he knows that your clone and your main body can communicate, how can he determine who the other party in the communication through you is? It's all just your claim."

"They don't want to switch to another communicator," Xiang Tiandi's eyes seemed to flash with the entire situation's context, "They simply want to communicate with you, and every time you make a move, they stop the fight by throwing out more information and switch to talking."

Zi Yang True Monarch was slightly stunned, his suddenly reduced intelligence made him somewhat unable to keep up with Xiang Tiandi's thoughts, and he only asked, "Why would they do that?"

Xiang Tiandi shook his head, "I don't know, but whatever they want to do, we shouldn't let them continue. Your main body should go to Wanxian Island right now, no matter what they say, just take them by force. There are two of them, it doesn't matter if one dies."

Zi Yang True Monarch surprisedly said, "My main body's arrival would be detected by the Immortals of Wanxian Island, right?"

Xiang Tiandi: "There's no time to worry about that. Zhou Bai and that person have been talking so much to you, I feel they might be stalling for time, and maybe a bit later, we won't be able to catch them ever."

Although it felt like Xiang Tiandi was being overly cautious and bold, the other party was after all the Marshal of Thunder Division, and he, Zi Yang True Monarch, was just a mere ordinary Thunder Division God.

Thus, under the pressure from Xiang Tiandi, although somewhat unwillingly, Zi Yang True Monarch soared into the sky, heading in the direction of Wanxian Island.

...

On the other side, within the estate on Wanxian Island.

"Xiang Tiandi?" Looking at the information transmitted on the auxiliary cultivation system panel, Zhou Bai's eyes slightly brightened, "Is Zi Yang True Monarch discussing the situation here with Xiang Tiandi?"

This was Zhou Bai using the Fool's secondary dissemination to further expand the range of dumbing down, but also utilizing this step to confirm how many other immortal gods had noticed this location.

"He is speaking to Xiang Tiandi, but only to Xiang Tiandi, so…"

As Zhou Bai pondered his next steps, bursts of thunderous explosions continuously sounded, a figure like lightning and thunder streaked across the sky, rapidly approaching the estate.

An overwhelming pressure faced them, feeling like the pressure of ten thousand tons of water, causing Zhou Bai and Christina's movements to appear somewhat labored.

Christina opened her mouth wide, stunned, "An Immortal… the original body of an Immortal has come."

Zhou Bai's gaze sharpened, pulling out a trigram that Lin Muqing had prepared for him before he left Donghua City, which was his secret weapon.

'Pity, can't delay any longer. But how could they react so quickly? And to directly attack me, I thought I could gradually reduce him to idiocy...' Zhou Bai thought, "Is it because of Xiang Tiandi?"

The true power of an Immortal's original body is no small feat, Zhou Bai couldn't handle it as easily as he did with the puppet clone before.

And with the use of this trigram, a figure gradually materialized in front of Zhou Bai, condensing into reality—it was Sky Flipping Sect Leader, Li Xiuzhu.

'The effect of the ninth trigram...' Zhou Bai thought internally, 'is to create a puppet of the target subject, who will possess the same powers as the target. But it only lasts for three minutes, and after that, the puppet will collapse.

The cost of copying is voluntary and life. Using it doesn't really have any side effects.'

'Thanks, Li Xiuzhu.'

While summoning the puppet, Zhou Bai pointed his finger, triggering the catastrophe of folly, and a full 45 points of contamination from within his body flowed into Zi Yang True Monarch, thrusting him into a state of 'delusion.'

Suddenly caught in this negative state, Zi Yang True Monarch slightly froze, his eyes flashing a strong hint of anxiety and irritability, inadvertently becoming slightly distracted.

It was in this brief moment that Zhou Bai, the Li Xiuzhu puppet, and Christina charged concurrently towards Zi Yang True Monarch's puppet clone.

Zhou Bai's Emperor's Sword, Christina's Cold Light Glacier Sword, and the fist of the Li Xiuzhu puppet each mixed with Tianhe Star Explosion Sword, Christina's sixth layer of Ice Soul Freeze Light, and Li Xiuzhu's Great Sky Flipping Fist Intent.

The three deadly forces struck Zi Yang True Monarch's clone simultaneously, their surging Primordial Spirit power pulling, clashing, and exploding, dealing heavy damage to the puppet clone and completely incapacitating it.

Then Zhou Bai reached out a hand, the Guihai Black Sha arranged within the estate swiftly converged, enveloping Zi Yang True Monarch's puppet clone completely, both eroding its Primordial Power and harvesting Zi Yang True Monarch's blue vital energy.

After they had taken Zi Yang True Monarch's avatar, Zhou Bai and Christina rose hand in hand into the sky, seizing the avatar and flew out towards the direction outside Wanxian Island.

At the same time, with the deployment of the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword, the contamination level inside Zhou Bai's body was slowly climbing.

Contamination Level: 36/110

Contamination Level: 37/110

Contamination Level: 38/110

…

Xiuzhu's puppet, on the other hand, headed in the opposite direction, charging towards Zi Yang True Monarch.

'After all, a puppet is just a puppet, even if its power is close to that of Xiuzhu, lacking wisdom and weapons, it certainly wouldn't stand a chance against Zi Yang True Monarch, and Xiuzhu's puppet isn't as robust as I am, it hardly takes a hit, I guess the puppet will soon be defeated.'

'But it's enough to intercept him for a while…'

Boom! Like a hundred million thunders bursting at once, glaring lightning illuminated the entire heaven and earth, turning the whole Wanxian Island into a vast expanse of white.

Zhou Bai suddenly looked back and found that Xiuzhu's puppet had already disappeared.

At the same time, a figure spoke beside Zhou Bai, "You think you can escape… in front of a dignified Immortal of the Thunder Department?"

At that moment, lightning surrounded Zi Yang True Monarch's entire body, his fleshly form had disappeared, transformed into a pure lightning form, merely standing there released enough light and heat to kill mortals.

Sensing Zi Yang True Monarch's presence, Christina felt a cold sweat run down her spine: 'This is the power of a genuine celestial Immortal, we stand no chance in a head-on battle.'

'We're doomed! We don't even have the gemstone this time!'

The intensely heated Primordial Spirit power, flickering with lightning, enveloped Zhou Bai and Christina at a speed imperceptible to mortals.

Zi Yang True Monarch said indifferently, "In front of me, you don't even have the chance to kill yourselves."

Christina was shocked, the words of the present Zi Yang True Monarch were true, in front of his true form, they didn't even have the chance to commit suicide; the speed of this Thunder Department Immortal had far exceeded the limits achievable by mortals.

"Escape?" Zhou Bai sneered, "You think I am fleeing? I simply do not wish to destroy Wanxian Island."

Just then, Zi Yang True Monarch suddenly turned his head and saw Heavenly Demons swiftly approaching, aiming directly at his location: "Heavenly Demon?"

Just when Zi Yang True Monarch felt puzzled, Zhou Bai's whisper slowly drifted into his ears: "… Zi Yang, in front of me, you only get to think when I permit you to think."

The next moment, Greed Stripping was activated!

Zi Yang was slightly stunned, feeling no trace of desire left in his heart to capture Zhou Bai, his whole persona was in an extremely passive state. Mixed with the psychological trauma brought by the delusional state of 'Mogwai,' his mental issues worsened considerably.

Restlessness and passivity spread through his mind sea, causing extreme inner conflict and contradiction, his intelligence, which had already declined by several points, was even further unable to function.

The Primordial Spirit power wrapping Zhou Bai instantly dispersed; Zhou Bai and Christina held hands tightly, boosting each other's Primordial Spirit power. Simultaneously, the Red Heavenly Armor and Abyss Nether Dragon Armor burst forth, as the two figures, carrying Zi Yang's puppet avatar, quickly retreated. The 'Guihai Black Evil' wrapping around the puppet twisted continually, ceaselessly harvesting the green qi luck within it.

On the other side, the warping shadow sprinted along with the Heavenly Demon.

During the discussion in Daluo Heaven, the warping shadow was sent out by Zhou Bai, prepared to rally the Heavenly Demons. On one hand, it was to reduce the slaughter of civilians in Central City, and on the other hand, it was to borrow the power of the Heavenly Demons for the battle.

At the moment, the warping shadow of the Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor turned into a dark monster, looking like a strange amalgamation of countless animals, appearing just as bizarre as the Heavenly Demon.

Under the influence of dire disaster, the warping shadow, resembling the Heavenly Demon, led a swarm of Heavenly Demons towards Zi Yang. Just as they neared him, a barrage of plasma cannons, high-energy beams, and electromagnetic cannons completely engulfed Zi Yang's location.

Watching this scene, Christina was taken aback: "Heavenly Demon? Is it because Zi Yang previously used the Heavenly Demon to kill indirectly, so Zhou Bai is making him have a taste of his own medicine?"
