Calamity of Tomorrow

On the high platform, Ming Yue the Immortal looked worriedly at Zhou Bai and transmitted her voice to the Ghost Slaying God beside her, "Shouldn't we stop them? What if Zhou Bai is in mortal danger, and what about Zi Yang and the others..."

"Rest assured, Zi Yang and his lot are not yet qualified to intercept me," the Ghost Slaying God responded placidly, like a still ancient well, "Zhou Bai bears enmity towards us. He's too young and apt to act impulsively. He still doesn't understand who his real enemy is. Some people want to suppress him at the Dao Debates of Daluo Heaven, so we might as well let Zhou Bai feel their malice towards him."

"Only by saving him at the last moment will he deeply understand who is the enemy and who is the ally."

Having said this, the Ghost Slaying God transmitted again, "Is the arrangement on that side ready?"

Tian Yang Zi nodded slightly, "Someone has already been sent over."

The Ghost Slaying God nodded, "Zhou Bai has some emotional ties with these demons and spirits. He can't make the decision, so I will help him sever it. However, as for the Zhao Family..."

Ming Yue the Immortal sneered, "To harm Zhou Bai, this brood of monsters from the Zhao Family has gone so far; they are utterly insane. If Zhou Bai suffers even a scratch, I will have their entire clan buried with him..."

A hint of cold light flashed in Ming Yue the Immortal's eyes, and her words were filled with a raging intent to kill, "No... since they wish for death, then let's fulfill their wish. Apart from those elders who are already dead, I don't think we should leave a single one of the rest of their clan alive."

...

Inside the spacetime of Daluo Heaven.

Zhao Yue struggled to suppress the power from these Beast Souls and Primordial Spirits, preventing them from running amok, while continuously shaking her head, "Not enough... still not enough... Even this strike might still not be enough to kill you... We absolutely cannot waste everyone's power..."

As she uttered these words, Zhou Bai saw a surge of golden light in Zhao Yue's eyes. Rays of golden light burst forth from her eyes, mouth, nose, and ears.

"Primordial Spirit self-detonation? What kind of madness is this?" Zhou Bai couldn't understand what Zhao Yue was doing, "Why? Why would you go so far to kill me? Do we have such deep grievances?"

Zhao Yue let out a tragic laugh, "You don't understand... you must die."

A dangerous light shone from Zhou Bai's eyes, "It's been like this from the beginning, spouting all kinds of nonsense... I was planning to wait for you to push your power to its peak before defeating you, but you're giving me a Primordial Spirit self-detonation?"

Zhou Bai sneered, "You want to die, is that it? Well, I simply won't let you."

At that, Zhou Bai took a step forward and under the boost of the Red Heavenly Armor, his entire figure had already crossed the space in front of him, instantly appearing before Zhao Yue like a teleportation. He extended his palm and struck her head with a palm strike that was like a red bolt of lightning.

Between Zhou Bai's charge and palm strike, his speed reached the utmost limit with the boost of the Red Heavenly Armor. Zhao Yue could barely make out his movements, only perceiving a world of red, like a fiery storm blasting towards her.

Then she felt a heaviness in her head, as a force of Primordial Spirit power barreled into her raging Primordial Spirit, halting her self-detonation as if a rain of ice had fallen upon fierce flames.

Zhao Yue roared, and although she couldn't see Zhou Bai's movements clearly, the flame-like figure was the best target for attack.

She struck out with her palm, her Primordial Spirit power carrying an aura as illusory as a dream, bombarding him from unbelievable angles. She attempted to push Zhou Bai away and continue with the Primordial Spirit self-detonation, hoping her most powerful strike would kill Zhou Bai.

But as the move was executed, a cold hum came from Zhou Bai, his body as immovable as mountains and seas, easily withstanding Zhao Yue's attack, appearing completely unharmed. In the next instant, his large hand reached out, as if flipping the heavens and earth with a claw strike.

Zhao Yue unleashed her Primordial Spirit power attempting to block him, but amidst the snapping sounds, layers upon layers of Primordial Spirit power and Protective Gang Qi were effortlessly shattered by the tall figure's hand.

The next moment, Zhao Yue felt her head being tightly gripped, as if it were bound by a tight band, constantly suppressing her Primordial Spirit.

"Caught you."

Shock filled Zhao Yue's heart: "Such formidable Primordial Spirit power. How could his Primordial Spirit power be so strong? Even a ninth realm... no, eighth realm Primordial Spirit power would be nothing more..."

Zhao Yue felt her heart sinking, sensing the overwhelming power around him like an endless sea, and thought fiercely, "There's no time to self-detonate the Primordial Spirit... I'm going all in!"

Zhao Yue immediately activated the strongest Array on the Eight Desolates Supreme Robe, which was also the self-destructive Array of the Eight Desolates Supreme Robe.

Heaven Spirit Roar!

In the next moment, four Beast Souls mixed with a sky full of Primordial Spirits, all the power of the Eight Desolates Supreme Robe exploded dramatically, like a long-dormant volcano finally erupting.

Beast Souls and Primordial Spirit power fused together, rapidly spinning and turning into a deep green vortex, releasing waves of heaven-shaking demonic Qi.

Sound was a force with immense destructive power; when pushed to a certain degree, it could even destroy the entire world.

The 'Heaven Spirit Roar' move created by the Great Desolation Sect turned all the power of the Eight Desolates Supreme Robe in the vortex into a cataclysmic sound wave attack, which in theory could be endlessly amplified by the input of Beast Souls, augmenting the power of this strike.

And at this moment, accompanied by the four Beast Souls, the Primordial Spirits of dozens of high-ranking cultivators were poured into the vortex in one go.

Light twisted around the vortex, and the atmosphere screamed.

Destructive auras kept emanating from the center of the vortex, with lightning streaking through from time to time, making the entire spacetime of Daluo Heaven seem to face its end.

With the appearance of this vortex, cracks even began to form on Zhao Yue's Eight Desolates Supreme Robe, seemingly unable to fully control this force, suffering backlash.

A voice surpassing that of any creature, fear embedded into human bones, gradually transmitted from the vortex.

Watching this scene, Zhao Yue had a tragic smile in her heart, "Zhou Bai, let's die together here."

With the sound waves gradually emanating from the vortex, tornadoes powerful enough to blow away an entire street kept spreading through the space and time of Daluo Heaven.

Seeing the appearance of the Sky Demon's roar, Ming Yue the Immortal said worriedly, "It's too dangerous, we should stop it right away."

The Ghost-Slaying God shook his head, "Don't worry, I bet my Dao fruit that I will not let Zhou Bai die."

In the competitor's seat, Shi Fa sighed, "Sky Demon's furious roar, stars sinking, lands desolate, well done, Zhao Yue, you've done well..."

Xiang Haocu nervously watched the projection, "It must work! Charge, Zhao Yue."

Within the space and time of Daluo Heaven, just as Zhao Yue was trembling from this power, she heard the man before her say something casually, and she felt that the man in front of her finally showed a look of satisfaction.

"Finally pushed it to the peak, huh? Now it's getting interesting."

Zhao Yue immediately realized, Zhou Bai was actually waiting for her to unleash her peak strike even in this moment?

"I wonder if it can even injure me."

The next moment, the destructive sound wave surged out, seeming to obliterate everything in its path. The recent tornadoes, lightning, and shockwaves seemed to be smoothed out by an invisible giant palm—in even the composition of the air seemed to be continuously shattered.

But faced with this destructive power, Zhou Bai just laughed, grabbed Zhao Yue, and met the destructive sound waves head-on; they gently blew against him but could not leave the slightest mark on the Red Heavenly Armor.

Zhao Yue even felt a very gentle force cover her body, allowing her to withstand the destructive sound waves.

But the force of the sound waves kept on increasing, a more terrifying air current spread from the vortex, as if a peerless catastrophe was about to descend upon the human world.

Zhou Bai directly let go of his hand and dragged Zhao Yue behind him with the power of his Primordial Spirit, facing the destructive sound waves. In Zhao Yue's astonished gaze, he laughed wildly as he reached the vortex, stretched out his arms, and forcefully embraced the vortex before him.

The next moment, as the destructive tide poured unrestrainedly over Zhou Bai's body, a series of explosions resonated, and cracks appeared on the Red Heavenly Armor.

Shi Fa's spirit shook, "Is it broken through?"

Xiang Haocu was thrilled, "Finally broke through his Red Heavenly Armor! Finish him off in one go!"

In Daluo Heaven, Zhao Yue watched as the armor on Zhou Bai's body gradually shattered and felt a trace of sentiment, "Did we finally succeed? Zhou Bai, the Red Heavenly Armor is broken, you have lost to your own arrogance."

But in the next instant, as the Red Heavenly Armor shattered, Zhou Bai's chest slammed directly into the destructive tidal waves of the Sky Demon roar. He didn't retreat a step and firmly embraced the vortex before him.

Zhou Bai sneered, "When did you get the idea... that I was being protected by an illusion of the Red Heavenly Armor?"

The Red Heavenly Armor greatly enhanced Zhou Bai's speed, burst, and power, but if compared purely in terms of resisting impact, naturally, Zhou Bai's own corruption body and Laziness treatment, with Tang Ruhai's enhancement, were more resilient.

Wave after wave of destructive sound brushed over Zhou Bai's sturdy chest, his flesh showed red marks, but before any wound could remain, it was immediately healed by Laziness treatment.

Shi Fa exclaimed, "What kind of body is this, cultivated to be more indestructible than a ninth realm armor?"

The Sky Demon's roar could not break through Zhou Bai's flesh; instead, under his violent squeezing, the vortex was directly ground away bit by bit by his own body.

Finally, with a strong movement of his arms, like a flame, it was directly extinguished.

"Huh? That's it?"

"How strong exactly is my defensive power?"

Xiang Haocu watched the projection in shock, like a duck choked by the neck, "We barely broke through the Red Heavenly Armor... and yet..." He watched the scene unwillingly, a feeling of powerlessness washing over him.

The Zhao Family had paid such a huge price, barely breaking through the Red Heavenly Armor, only for Zhou Bai to reveal an even more despair-inducing combat strength.

Xiang Haocu watched Zhou Bai, who stood proudly in the sky within the projection, feeling the man before him was like a mountain of unknown height.

Whenever they felt that they had reached the summit, they would always see a higher peak appear before them, neverending, giving a sense of despair that they could never surmount.

In the space and time of Daluo Heaven, Zhou Bai looked at his chest where the Red Heavenly Armor had been completely shattered, revealing a patch of redness on his chest that soon healed again.

Although the Sky Demon roar was extinguished by Zhou Bai, the erupting power ultimately broke through the Red Heavenly Armor.

His face showed a pained expression, "Damn it, if I had known, I would have fought without the armor."

Zhao Yue watched this scene dumbfounded, completely despondent, looking as if she had seen a ghost. The only thought in her mind was, this mighty power... has it already surpassed the mere ninth realm?

Zhou Bai turned to Zhao Yue and said coldly, "Zhao Yue, I think I've somewhat understood why you've paid such a big price to kill me... but no one in this world can control my future, and no one can think of killing me."

"Don't think I'm strong like this for no reason. But in truth, it's not just you—I have been sent to this point thanks to the sacrifices made by countless companions."

"I promised my companions that I must get the first place in Daluo Heaven's debate, and I must get the Sword of the Human Emperor."

"Then, I want to lead humanity as I wish, and change this world according to my will."

"No one can stop me, and no one can kill me, not even the Immortals!"
