Chapter 658: 656 Em
Zi Yang, though reduced by the Fool's intelligence decrease, the calamity's contamination, and Greed Stripping, had his mental state deteriorated to a low ebb, but as an official deity of heaven, he desperately clung to a thread of clarity, "Xiang Tiandi, watch me closely, this must be some kind of distortion…"
He turned his head toward Zhou Bai and the other, "Was it them…"
Facing the hostility of two official deities, Zhou Bai looked at them and slowly said, "Zi Yang, Xiang Tiandi… remember, reason is my mercy to you…"
Roar! The shadow twisted by the Thunder Dragon's heavy damage roared fiercely, rapidly recovering under the effects of Laziness treatment.
Being a being with all of Zhou Bai's abilities and half his strength, the Distorted Shadow at that moment once again unleashed Catastrophe.
Originally looking at Zhou Bai, Zi Yang and Xiang Tiandi, all at this moment turned to the Distorted Shadow and charged at it together.
At the same time, Zhou Bai gently lifted a finger, faintly saying, "…When you desecrate this mercy, I will grant you madness."
Greed Stripping!
Catastrophe Domain activated!
Catastrophe momentarily refocused the two official deities on the Distorted Shadow.
Xiang Tiandi's desires for Zhou Bai's spying and capture were directly stripped away.
Under the activation of the Catastrophe Domain, every attack by Xiang Tiandi and Zi Yang True Monarch would be deflected onto each other.
Zi Yang and Xiang Tiandi simultaneously attacked the Distorted Shadow, then simultaneously deflected onto each other.
Xiang Tiandi looked at Zi Yang True Monarch, whose mouth filled with tentacles erupted with large clumps of black mud that continuously enveloped his body, launching attack after attack at him.
Zi Yang True Monarch saw Xiang Tiandi's body continuously rotting and withering, large clumps of black mud bursting out of the corrupted flesh to charge at him repeatedly.
The two gods collided fiercely, their turbulent minds like a raging thunderstorm.
A wild idea surged into both their minds, magnifying continuously with the folly bestowed by the calamity.
"He's doomed... he's gone mad!"
"I don't want to be killed by him; I have to kill him!"
In the distance, a large number of Heavenly Demons gathered, and in the eyes of Zi Yang and Xiang Tiandi, they saw countless twisted monsters summoned by their opponent, their divine power even more brutal and mad gushing out from within them.
Under the effect of the Catastrophe Domain, large clumps of black mud surged with their movement, continuously harvesting the fate of the two celestial deities.
Watching as the two celestial gods had already, under the influence of the Fool, Greed Stripping, Catastrophe, and other calamities, crazily battled to death, Christina felt a chill in her heart, "This is Zhou Bai's true power... the real power that surpasses all conventional martial arts and Taoist art."
"Only by surpassing the cycles of time, casting aside fragile senses, relinquishing desires of the heart, and facing Zhou Bai with one's own solitary power, is there a possibility to defeat him."
"And surrounding him like this, to Zhou Bai, is utterly useless."
On the other side, Zhou Bai, with his arms crossed, coldly watched the chaotic battlefield, watching the fate weakening over the two gods' heads, the rolling blue Qi rushing into his spiritual sea like the Yangtze River, enveloping his Primordial Spirit, making him let out a refreshing chuckle.
'4...5... Already 5 strands of blue light, I can enhance my star points 5 times…'
Meanwhile, under the display of the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword, the chaotic streams of gravity tugged at Zhou Bai's body, also reaccumulating new degrees of contamination for him.
Contamination: 5/110
Contamination: 6/110
Pollution Level: 7/110
Zhou Bai muttered, "Next, drain their luck, strip them of their reason, then let the Heavenly Demon shred them. That will conclude matters."
At the same time, Zhou Bai had already undergone Primordial Spirit Emergence and returned to his own body. Xiang Haocu and the puppet incarnations of Zi Yang True Monarch were casually wrapped in his Primordial Spirit power behind him.
Christina also lost control of Zhou Bai's physical body.
Feeling Zhou Bai's cold words, Christina sensed that after the battles in Daluo Heaven, targeted by the Thunder Gods, and the 'deaths' of Zheng Wentian, Ying Hui, and the elders of Heavenly Sword, as well as the continuous operation of the nine disasters for immortals, the Zhou Bai before her inevitably had some slight changes.
Christina couldn't quite tell whether this subtle change was for better or worse. Still, she had to admit that the current Zhou Bai, when using the nine disasters for immortals, felt even more terrifying than before.
Just then, with a bang, Zhou Bai looked down and saw a huge hole blasted open in the ground. A strange figure broke through the earth, turning its head back and forth, finally looking in his direction.
"Found you!"
The sea urchin girl shouted excitedly, lifting Em and flying straight to Zhou Bai, "This, damn it, is for you!" She then threw Em at him, hurtling like a meteor hammer.
"Ah?" Zhou Bai, with a swirl of his Primordial Spirit power, caught Em, and his expression changed. "How are you here?"
Em looked furious and stank, glaring silently at Zhou Bai. In fact, she was unable to speak, bound by layers of neural threads added by the sea urchin girl.
On the other side, the sea urchin girl had already joyfully rushed up, "How about that? I brought her to you. Like it?"
"Heavenly Demon?" Zhou Bai frowned, looking at the somewhat 'strange' Heavenly Demon before him. Despite the apparent lack of hostility, he wasn't about to let his guard down toward a Heavenly Demon, pointing his sword and unleashing the gravitational force of the Tianhe Star Explosion.
The sea urchin girl took Zhou Bai's attack unguarded. Her skin and spikes burst layer by layer, approaching Zhou Bai like a broken doll.
Even though her body was damaged and restrained, the sea urchin girl still looked at Zhou Bai excitedly, laughing happily, "My name is Em. You're my good brother, aren't you?"
"Don't you remember?"
"Right, right, the Empress told me to show you this!"
Saying this, Em's chest deformed and unfolded like a magic box, revealing a crystally substance.
The crystal hummed softly, sending a strange, unfamiliar force surging before Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai was slightly startled. "What is this..." He immediately prepared his Genesis Galaxy Collapse, readying to unleash this attack on his opponent at any moment, also to boost his pollution level and improve his ability to resist damage.
Em said, "This is an electromagnetic pulse tailored to the traits of your Primordial Spirit powers when the Empress was creating the Anti-Spirit Missile. It can transmit information just like your Primordial Spirit powers. Take a look, and you'll understand..."
As the electromagnetic pulse touched Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit power, he felt a stream of information pour into his mind.
"According to NASA's latest report, after the solar flare, neutrino activity is abnormal..."
"Xinhua News Agency's latest news, the largest solar flare in human history..."
"Mass suicide event occurred in California..."
"Widespread mirage phenomena reported across the world..."
...
Meanwhile, several rays of light rose from Wanxian Island, with Ming Yue, the Immortal, looking anxious, leading those found in the basement including Ying Hui and Zheng Wentian, racing towards the battlefield.
Elsewhere, three Heavenly Demon Kings, operating Mechas, retreated while fighting against Tianyangzi and Ghost Slaying God, converging towards Zhou Bai's position.
Farther away, more Heavenly Demons, pursued and attacked by Immortal Gods, all gathered around Zhou Bai as their center.
