Calamity of Tomorrow

(Sorry everyone, for dragging this out so long, it's all due to my lack of strength. Here are the next seven chapters, apologies.)

The pig monster howled and charged toward Zhou Bai, its enormous tusks swelling once more, while its body also inflated, growing to over eight meters tall, resembling a monstrous beast, rushing forward with a momentum capable of splitting mountains and breaking rocks.

Before its body even arrived, a bloody wind had already hit their faces, an air of cruelty and cunning, blood-soaked and terrifying, pressed down so hard that many cultivators were unable to move, a primal fear bubbling up from within, making them feel as though they were just dishes on the opponent's plate.

But in the next moment, a figure had already positioned himself in front of them, casually kicking out, his right foot wrapped with more than nine thousand Primordial Spirit energy, had already stamped on the pig monster's head like lightning, followed by a series of sounds like tendons snapping and bones breaking, the pig monster screamed and flew out.

Then, under the astonished gazes of everyone, the pig monster, which had just been toying with them, was now being kicked around by Zhou Bai as if it were a ball, screaming as it crawled back and forth, roaring, and trying to counterattack… but with no strength to retaliate.

Boom!

Zhou Bai, with his hands cupped, floated in mid-air, landed another foot on the pig monster's face, pinning it firmly to the ground.

"You're from the Heavenly Division, aren't you?" Zhou Bai slowly said, "I'm in a very bad mood right now, if you tell me what I want to know, I can grant you a quick death."

The pig monster, pinned to the ground by Zhou Bai's foot, paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Idiot! You've been tricked! What's the use of strength without brains in battle? If you were in the era of the great human-demon war, you would've been cannon fodder for life."

As the pig monster laughed wildly, its entire body suddenly vanished without a trace, as if what had just appeared was merely an illusion.

"Is it a clone?" Zhou Bai looked up, his right eye flashing a captivating red light. Before the Time Reverse, the drastic changes in Donghua City, Jiaojiao's mutation, and the death of his companions had greatly stressed Zhou Bai, making it difficult to suppress the Demon Illuminating Eye.

However, now everything was okay, enabling him to temporarily suppress the demon-slaying impulse in his eye, just like he had a few days ago.

And he looked toward the depths of the darkness, where the demonic aura of the pig monster was unmistakably clear in his sight.

He had seen it from the moment the opponent had fled; he just wanted to follow the opponent to see who was behind the scenes causing the changes in Donghua City.

'From this point of view, the Demon Illuminating Eye is still pretty useful.'

Just then, Xia Li asked nervously, "Zhou Bai? Is that you? Zhou Bai?"

Zhou Bai turned his head to look at Xia Li and the others, the red light in his right eye seeming even more intense.

Seeing the red light in Zhou Bai's right eye, Xia Li and the others instinctively jumped, feeling as though mice had encountered a cat, as if a fear of being preyed upon by a natural predator instantaneously penetrated their souls, making them tremble.

Seeing the fearful expressions of the few people, Zhou Bai gave a helpless smile, his figure flashed, and he disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the empty scene, Xia Li shouted, "Zhou Bai! Come back!!"

In the darkness, the red light in Zhou Bai's right eye grew more intense; he looked at the residual demonic aura of the pig monster, like a lion or tiger spotting its prey, the strong impulse to slay demons, the thirst for blood incessantly transmitted from his right eye.

Zhou Bai touched his right eye and chuckled lightly, "Wait a bit longer, just a bit longer, and I'll feed you."

Christina asked with some concern, "Are you alright, Zhou Bai?"

"I'm fine, of course I'm fine. It was a matter of life and death before, and I was too anxious, but now I am alright."

Zhou Bai drifted forward along the demon aura and said in his mind, "The Array layer is fine. Now, as long as the Elder is also safe, there's only one thing left..."

Zhou Bai sneered, "The incident in Donghua city made me very uncomfortable. Although it was a Time Reverse, I had killed many people I didn't want to kill. It went against my heart and opposed my will, making me do the thing I hate the most."

Zhou Bai, "Christina, do you know what alleviates unhappiness?"

Christina's eyes lit up, "Show off! Only by showing off!"

Zhou Bai, "...That's not entirely wrong."

Christina eagerly asked, "How to show off? How to show off?"

Zhou Bai, "What you said about showing off is just incidental. I do it to achieve my goals while concealing my abilities along the way, in addition to implementing my will. You shouldn't always think about showing off just for the sake of it."

Christina pouted but soon smiled, thinking, 'Zhou Bai seems to be in good spirits. His ability to handle pressure is getting stronger; I'm relieved.'

Zhou Bai opened his mouth and spat out the Void Crown from Elsa's stomach, then activated the crown to contact his Mech followers and also to reach out to Xiannü through them.

"The Throne of Stars, Mech followers, and the Heavenly Demon's troops will arrive in a while."

"Watch, Christina, the show is about to begin."

Xiannü contacted through the Mech followers, "I forgot to bring the cat."

Christina, "Zhou Bai, tell her the cat doesn't want to go with her."

...

On the other side, the pig demon had reverted to his slim youth form yet remained under an Invisibility Technique, completely undetectable by the naked eye or even hard to sense with Primordial Spirit.

He ran swiftly on all fours towards another place, his mind filled with disdain for Zhou Bai.

"Idiot, knowing that you even caused the fall of Zi Yang True Monarch, you think I'd stick around to fight you? With a simple trick, I enraged you and had you fooled completely."

"That guy is probably furious, looking everywhere for me right now. My clone technique and Invisibility Technique have merged with the naturally occurring Divine Skills of a demon's bloodline, even several True Monarchs have praised it, there's no way you can find me."

Though he was mentally disdainful toward Zhou Bai, he still remained wary of Zhou Bai's strength, thinking secretly, "If Zhou Bai is here, doesn't that mean the Heavenly Demon might also come? That guy has joined the Heavenly Demon, and might already be transformed by now..."

"I need to hurry back and report this to the Lord to avoid any complications..."

Boom!

A blast of Primordial Spirit force struck the pig demon, causing him to tumble and eventually stand up, looking incredulously at the approaching Zhou Bai, "How did you find me? Can you see me?"

Zhou Bai just smiled, "You're not very cooperative... Since you don't want to talk to me, then talk to them."

As he spoke, Zhou Bai's figure vanished into the darkness. Meanwhile, more vague figures emerged in the dark, approaching the pig demon with whispering voices.

"Zhou Bai... Zhou Bai..."
