Calamity of Tomorrow

Two streams of sword light, one purple and one teal, spiraled through the sky, the combined effect of the Dual Swords of Purple Yi and Teal Suo, of the sixth and seventh realms respectively.

The path of the sword diagram began at the zeroth realm by honing Sword Qi, the first realm by forging the sword instrument, progressing to the fifth realm where one could turn the sword instrument into light to kill using Sword Light. In the sixth realm, one could further divide the Sword Light and combine it into a Sword Array.

When Lv Chongyang reached the sixth realm, he cultivated using the Purple Yi diagram. However, due to only having reached the sixth realm and not the seventh with Teal Suo, his combat effectiveness was not prominent, and he did not display exceptional strength.

As Lv Chongyang's master, Zhao Shouyi not only completed the Purple Yi in the sixth realm but also cultivated the Teal Suo in the seventh realm. At this moment, with the dual swords combined, the Mixed Element Sword Formation he set up immediately exhibited terrifying power.

In the center of the grand array, the purple and teal sword lights intertwined, transforming into streams of chaotic-colored airflow.

Qian Wangsun felt a chilling sensation arise from his heart as he observed the chaotic-colored airflow, feeling the power which seemed perilously limitless, as if there was nowhere in the vast world to escape.

His iris shifted repeatedly as he could see the mystic haze that enveloped the entire sky, as if stirred together by an invisible giant hand, and even the operation of his Primordial Spirit felt a strong resistance.

"What a terrifying Sword Array!" Qian Wangsun exclaimed internally: "Is this the peak power of a seventh realm expert?"

Zhao Shouyi, who was controlling the Mixed Element Sword Formation, trembled with each chaotic-colored airflow generated, feeling his Primordial Spirit and physical body becoming heavier, the immense power entailing immense pressure.

To fully control the Mixed Element Sword Formation, Zhao Shouyi needed to focus every bit of his concentration.

"Just a bit more... Just a little more..."

Meanwhile, Zhou Bai, hiding underground, maintained his body with the power of his Primordial Spirit. The gravitational pull from the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword continuously tore apart the earth's crust as he desperately burrowed deeper to evade Xu Dela's pursuit.

Above ground, Xu Dela roared furiously, retracting his laser cannon as his snake minions began digging into the earth, aiming to chase after Zhou Bai.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Shouyi's gaze sharpened, and the chaotic-colored airflow in the Sword Array spun faster.

"Almost there..." Zhao Shouyi's body exploded with the power of his Primordial Spirit, his sword finger slowly pressing down. The power of his Primordial Spirit flowed, locking onto every snake minion below. The Mixed Element Sword Formation released a thunderous rumble, as if the sky had collapsed, sending countless streams of chaotic-colored airflow crashing towards the ground.

In an instant, the ground vaporized, and the snake minions disintegrated.

Zhao Shouyi took a deep breath, his muscles tensed, his Primordial Spirit intensely focused.

The destructive power in the Mixed Element Sword Formation was extremely difficult to control, especially given his current weakened state…

As the chaotic-colored airflow descended, numerous snake minions trembled violently. The parts touched by the chaotic airflow instantly disintegrated, as if returning to the most primal matter.

Even those parts that burrowed into the ground were evaporated continually, with the horizon sinking perpetually.

Just as the Mixed Element Sword Formation erupted, one snake minion after another disintegrated and turned to ash on the surface.

Hearing the intense quakes and explosions above, Zhou Bai whooshed back underground towards the surface. The Catastrophe Domain activated, searching within 150 meters for any enemy targets.

Immediately, vast swathes of Xu Dela's Black Sha emerged from beneath him.

However, even the Black Sha quickly disintegrated under the chaotic-colored airflow, unable to linger for long.

But Zhou Bai didn't care about those details; he just wanted to take in a breath of luck energy from this massive Heavenly Demon and see how much he would gain.

In Zhou Bai's vision, swathes of milky white gas, resembling the color of milk, flocked toward him and instantly entered his sea of consciousness, reaching his limit almost immediately, prompting him to hurriedly shut down the Catastrophe Domain.

"Wow? So much luck energy?!"

"How can this be? Clearly, absorbing the luck energy from a Heavenly Demon should be much less effective."

Zhou Bai felt the burden of the luck energy on his Primordial Spirit reaching its limit and exclaimed, "Why does this Heavenly Demon have so much luck energy? Could it be that this fellow is thriving in fortune? So thriving that I just pinch him and out pours so much? Why is this happening?"

Meanwhile, dozens of snake monsters suddenly burst forth from the ground, scattering in all directions, finally breaking free from the constraints of impoverishment.

This was mainly because the constraint of impoverishment could not control indefinitely—it also had a duration. For a massive Heavenly Demon like Xu Dela, the duration of impoverishment naturally was less than it would be for other targets.

Now, because Zhou Bai had been staying underground and could not communicate, the surface's Xu Dela had not been subjected to another attack by Zhou Bai's impoverishment, and after two-thirds of his bodily tissue had been evaporated by chaotic energy, he finally endured until the constraint period ended.

As the snake monsters scattered, it was clear they intended to escape by dispersing, making it difficult for Zhao Shouyi's side to pursue them.

Xu Dela was furiously thinking, "These reptiles! Once I have recovered the lost Heavenly Demon tissue, I will exterminate them all! I will flay their skin!"

Zhao Shouyi furrowed his brow, his forehead beaded with sweat as he moved his sword finger, transforming the chaotic energy into separate spheres that chased after the snake monsters.

But amid powerful explosions, individual snake monsters burst apart, transforming into numerous smaller snakes that scattered in every direction.

Faced with an astonishing number, even Zhao Shouyi couldn't ensure that he would completely annihilate each one.

At that moment, Zhou Bai burst out of the ground and, looking up to the sky, howled long and loud, "Heavenly Demon brat, lend me your fur."

Xu Dela, in the midst of fleeing, instantly stiffened, his heart filled with shock and anger: "Not this thing again... dammit... Ah!!! Let me go! I want to leave!"

The next moment, his body tensed and he abruptly turned around, racing toward Zhou Bai's position while large patches of fur sprouted wildly from his snake skin.

Zhou Bai immediately flickered, moving closer to a nearby flow of chaotic energy.

Xu Dela was furious inside: "Again! Ahhhh! If you dare, come here! Take my fur!" Numerous snake monsters chased directly after Zhou Bai, yet they could only see the chaotic energy rushing towards them.

Zhao Shouyi's eyes brightened: "Well done."

As Zhao Shouyi manipulated the Mixed Element Sword Formation to annihilate the last of the Heavenly Demon snakes,

a tiny black dot flashed in the distance. In the next moment, the dot flickered repeatedly, crossing a distance of several thousand meters to arrive above the battlefield.

It was a young girl riding a flying tiger, which had wings and long fur, and its body seemed to be a terrifying, fierce patchwork of metal and flesh, with thick veins protruding from its surface.

The girl had long hair resembling a Spirit Snake and wore a blood-colored robe. Instead of legs, her lower body consisted of writhing, twisting snakes' tails.

This chapter and the next need rewriting if they don't come out right. The remaining chapters need editing; I'll post them together with the chapter from tonight.
