Calamity of Tomorrow

Zhou Bai watched the atmospheric projection in surprise and thought to himself, "This stage is a bit large."

Christina said, "This is barely enough for me to show off."

Zhou Bai thought to himself, "How much do these celestial beings really love broadcasting on the big screen?"

Christina, itching to jump into action, said, "Zhou Bai, when do we go on?"

Zhou Bai replied, "There's no hurry. Let's first see what they're up to, then find an opportunity to contact Li Xiuzhu and see if he has any plan."

To outsiders, Zhou Bai and Christina seemed to be stupefied in conversation.

Lin Xiang watched their naive appearance, smiled, and said, "You've seen the debates in Daluo Heaven, right? It's the same grand gesture. I'm afraid that it's not just us who can see this scene now, but many people in various places. I reckon that soon one of the immortals will take action. It's a rare opportunity to witness an immortal in action."

Zhou Bai narrowed his eyes and thought, "If they start broadcasting a deicide, they'll probably cut the feed immediately."

...

In Li Xiuzhu's eyes, it seemed that countless images from both the past and present were constantly flashing.

Ever since he completely activated the Ying Long bloodline and became a full-fledged demon, he had been urgently flipping through the inherited memories in his bloodline.

Watching the memories replay before his eyes, his gaze occasionally revealed a hint of understanding and exclamation.

But with the appearance of the projection, he looked up at the massive projection in the sky, his lips curling into a slight smile, showing no sign of panic, "Is the real battle coming?"

From within the Mountain Sea Chart he held, Qian Wangsun's voice came through, "Can you hold on? These immortals probably want to broadcast a one-sided fight, so they must be quite confident, at least ten out of ten."

At this moment, Qian Wangsun stood in an alternate space surrounded by Annie, the awakened Ji Xing and Hao Ming, the researcher of supernatural weapons, Wu Wenjing, and a large group from the Sky Flipping Sect, numbering in the hundreds.

Beneath their feet was a floor like that of green gemstones, with mountain ranges and clouds visible in the distance. However, approaching them revealed you couldn't advance beyond a kilometer, as if the distant mountains and clouds were merely a backdrop.

This was the 27th hexagram, an alternate space within the Mountain Sea Chart.

These few hundred people, along with their laboratory, had all been collected into the Mountain Sea Chart's hexagram by Li Xiuzhu in one breath.

If it weren't for the fact that the 27th hexagram of the Mountain Sea Chart lacked spiritual activity and had difficulty communicating with the void and Heavenly Dao, Li Xiuzhu would have liked to always carry them around, letting them research supernatural weapons right there in the Mountain Sea Chart.

Now Qian Wangsun and the others stood within the Mountain Sea Chart's alternate space, but through a doorway in front of them, they could clearly see the outside scene, including the giant atmospheric projection above the arena.

After thinking it over, Li Xiuzhu said, "I have about a thirty to forty percent chance."

Qian Wangsun exclaimed in shock, "Only thirty to forty percent? I really—! Why did I even join you..."

Hearing Qian Wangsun's concern, Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "What we're doing is the most difficult thing in the world. Having even a ten percent chance is worth the gamble, let alone the thirty to forty percent we have now."

Qian Wangsun sighed and said, "You know, Li Xiuzhu, the most annoying thing about you is that you like to show off in front of your own people."

Li Xiuzhu gave a wry smile and touched his nose, "Really?"

Qian Wangsun continued, "But your greatest strength is also showing off in front of your own people, brainwashing so many to become your fanatical followers."

Li Xiuzhu smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, the reinforcements should be arriving soon."

At the mention of this, Qian Wangsun's expression darkened slightly. Old man Wu Wenjing coldly said, "If they were coming, they would have already been here. We've been trapped here for so many days, yet your so-called reinforcements haven't arrived. I think they've already given up."

Wu Wenjing then sighed, "The siege by the ten great immortals, if it were me, I wouldn't dare come and support you either. Isn't it better to live a few more years?"

No one in the Mountain Sea Chart spoke; all looked grim and despondent, seemingly agreeing with Wu Wenjing's words.

Just then, Qian Wangsun suddenly said with determination, "I believe the reinforcements will come; we agreed to meet on the battlefield."

"Let's hope so," Wu Wenjing sighed. "But amidst life and death, how many can keep their word?"

Li Xiuzhu laughed as well, "I also believe the reinforcements will come, but for now, we need to fend off the current opponents."

Watching the tumultuous winds and clouds in the sky, and the silhouette slowly approaching the arena, Li Xiuzhu's face grew solemn.

...

Meanwhile, in the skies above the five major cities, massive atmospheric projections were cast, displaying every move of Li Xiuzhu on the arena with absolute clarity.

Countless people saw the massive projection suddenly appear, and all kinds of questions arose in their hearts. Who is this person?

In Donghua City, Jing Xiu, Xia Li, and Lu Wanzhen all looked at the man in the sky with shocked expressions.

Jing Xiu stared at the figure in the projection and said in disbelief, "Is that... is that Li Xiuzhu?!"

She had witnessed the battle between Xing Jun and Li Xiuzhu with Zhou Bai, Qian Wangsun, and the others and was deeply impressed with the Sky Flipping Sect Leader.

But she couldn't understand why his image would appear in the sky above the city.

In West Mountain City, just as many people looked up at the projection in the sky, and more people recognized Li Xiuzhu. Those who could recognize him all wore expressions of doubt and even began to question whether the Sky Flipping Sect was planning some major action.

Si Yi, the plague deity, yawned, still looking like a girl.

Lying on a lounge chair, she jingled the bells on her feet, producing a crisp ringing sound.

She looked at the projection in the sky with some impatience, "Xiang Tiandi really knows how to drag things out. Just a small Ying Long, yet he's delayed for so many days. So overly cautious, how afraid of death can he be?"

Beside her, Si Yun said, "Marshal Xiang has always been very cautious, he won't act rashly without full confidence."

Touching Si Yun's head, Si Yi said with a giggle, "Little Yun, who do you think Xiang Tiandi will have go first?"

Si Yun sat kneeling at the side, her head being rubbed by Si Yi like a kitten, as she looked up at the projection in the sky, "Marshal Xiang personally made his move before, pushing Li Xiuzhu into a tight spot. Now it should be an immortal from Wanxian Island's turn, right?"

Just then, Xiang Tiandi's voice came from the projection in the sky. His voice was calm but filled with an indescribable pressure, like the thunder from above signifying the authority of the heavens.
