Calamity of Tomorrow

"I am the Thunder Department Demon Sweeping Marshal, Xiang Tiandi."

"The Thunder Department is currently besieging the Sky Flipping Sect Leader, Li Xiuzhu, in the ruins of the Kunlun Heavenly Palace."

"The man you see on this stage is Li Xiuzhu, the Sky Flipping Sect Leader, who has recently been inciting his followers to teach evil methods."

"The evil method he preaches leads people to evil, incites madness, and ultimately results in complete deformity; it is a method that brings disaster to the world."

"I hope everyone takes heed, not to believe the slander of the Sky Flipping Sect or cultivate this method."

"Those who are stubbornly unenlightened have already embarked on a path that forsake humanity and bring disaster to the world, and my Thunder Department must strike them down."

As he spoke, various strange and unusual demons, differing in appearance from ordinary humans, were brought forth. Most of them retained the appearance of various beasts; they were all followers of the Sky Flipping Sect captured by the Heavenly Court during this period, amounting to over a thousand people.

Xiang Tiandi's voice fell like the high aloft Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, "Followers of the Sky Flipping Sect spread evil methods, bewitch the public, and endanger lives. Their actions are utterly insane and are abhorred by both gods and humans; they are sentenced to be struck by thunder."

With a light tap of Xiang Tiandi's fingertip, the dark clouds in the sky fiercely churned.

The next moment, amidst the booming thunder, bolts of lightning leaped in the mid-air clouds, the pressure enveloping below like a tangible force, bringing a fear of facing the majesty of heaven and earth.

Thunder has been humanity's earliest and most revered natural force.

It has always represented a divine authority in human culture.

At this moment, under Xiang Tiande's effortless control, the thunder turned into bolts of lightning that struck down with incredible speed, landing directly on the followers of the Sky Flipping Sect, inflicting extreme pain.

Roar!

Amidst the cries, the followers' bodies contorted, their faces distorted by agony, feeling as if every drop of blood in their bodies was boiling and their brains continually being torn apart.

Their bodies soon emitted a burning stench, and one by one, they were literally electrocuted to death.

Watching this scene, Li Xiuzhu on the stage sighed, yet his eyes remained wide open, staring at the corpses as if to etch their appearances firmly in his mind.

The air fell silent, with only the continuous, heart-wrenching screams of the demons being struck by lightning, as if they were cast into hell to be punished, until they all died one by one, and their screams gradually faded.

Across the five major cities, countless people listened to Xiang Tiandi's judgment, watching one follower of the Sky Flipping Sect after another being struck dead by thunder.

Many who had come into contact with the Sky Flipping Sect, seen the Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques, or even cultivated them, felt extremely apprehensive.

Most of them immediately found pamphlets printed with the Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques, tearing or burning them... all were terrified and hastened to dispose of them cleanly.

Only a few people gritted their teeth and did not destroy the Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques, choosing instead to preserve them using various means.

Soon after, under the watchful eyes of countless people, the silhouette of Ming Yue Immortal appeared, descending while stepping in the air, her feet followed by auspicious clouds, her body radiating auspiciousness, displaying an air of celestial elegance as she approached Li Xiuzhu on the stage step by step.

At the same time, thousands of cultivators soared into the sky, various magical treasures and Sword Qi illuminating the heavens, standing like celestial soldiers in midair, surrounding Li Xiuzhu on the stage and imparting an intense sense of oppression to the billions watching.

Li Xiuzhu stood straight on the stage, like a javelin, carrying an unyielding spirit as he faced Ming Yue Immortal and the thousands of Heavenly Court cultivators in the sky.

Ming Yue's cherry lips slightly parted, her voice spreading like the clear moon in an empty valley, not only echoing across the entire battlefield but also reaching every corner of the five major cities through the projection.

Ming Yue, "Li Xiuzhu, you have brought calamity to the world, propagated evil methods, sparked civil war among humanity, killed hundreds of millions, and caused misery in the northwest, making life unbearable. Do you admit your guilt?"

Li Xiuzhu scoffed, "Is a bird guilty for flying in the sky? Is a fish guilty for swimming in the water? Is one guilty for being born with the bloodline of demons?"

Li Xiuzhu continued, "We were born with demon blood, and the Sky Flipping Sect merely taught everyone what they inherently should know. How is there any crime in that?"

Li Xiuzhu's eyes seemed to flicker with countless images, finally turning into a long sigh, "Power itself is neither good nor bad; if used for right, it is righteous, if used for evil, it becomes wicked. Even the Heavenly Court, does it not have its evil and heretical paths?"

His voice carried by the power of the Primordial Spirit, resonated like piercing stone and breaking metal, rolling thunderously into the ears of everyone present.

However, that was all there was to it, in the eyes of countless civilians across the five major cities, they would only hear the initial questioning of Ming Yue Immortal. Li Xiuzhu's beguiling words would not be transmitted by the Heavenly Court at all.

Ming Yue Immortal coldly watched Li Xiuzhu, her gaze growing colder with his responses, as if her killing intent had solidified into frost.

"Obstinate and delusional, spreading heretical teachings."

Her body emitted a faint white light, like a serene moonlight falling on the arena.

...

At this moment, Lin Muqing was in West Mountain City, watching the projected images with reddened eyes. She sighed as she saw the solitary figure of Li Xiuzhu on the screen, feeling a sense of helplessness.

Although she had rushed from East Hua City to support Li Xiuzhu, she simply did not possess enough power to break through the layers of blockades and change the situation.

She could only stay in West Mountain City, trying to find remnants of the Sky Flipping Sect.

Right now, as she watched the projection, a feeling of the Sky Flipping Sect facing its demise kept surfacing.

It seemed that the Sky Flipping Sect was truly in a desperate situation.

...

High above the battlefield, two formidable Primordial Spirit forces barely touched each other, signifying the clashing wills of Xiang Tiandi and Tu Tianmo, with countless pieces of information being exchanged instantaneously between their Primordial Spirits.

Xiang Tiandi, "Why did Ming Yue join the fight? Li Xiuzhu has awakened the Ying Long bloodline and now possesses divine-level combat abilities. He must not be underestimated."

Tu Tianmo, "Ming Yue insisted on fighting herself, and although Li Xiuzhu has awakened the Ying Long bloodline, his cultivation is only equivalent to an Immortal with a Dao conversion rate of 110%. Ming Yue, on the other hand, has grasped the Tai Wei Ji Chen algorithm these days, progressing rapidly with her cultivation jumping to a Dao conversion rate of 128%, and she also has a warped weapon at her disposal; there won't be any problem."

"She also comes from Zhengyi Dao Palace, you should be aware of her capabilities."

Xiang Tiandi still felt unsatisfied as he wasn't looking for just 'no problem'; he wanted absolute certainty.

However, after considering that Li Xiuzhu had already been severely injured by him, and Ming Yue, an Immortal with a 128% Dao conversion rate, could ultimately overpower the opponent, Xiang Tiandi decided not to pursue the matter further.

'Will Zhou Bai come?' Xiang Tiandi's gaze flickered slightly. He was constantly on alert for Zhou Bai's arrival to support Li Xiuzhu or perhaps to seize the opportunity to take the Primordial Dao Treasury 07.

When needed, the other seven divine immortals of West Mountain City could descend at any time.

...

Zhou Bai stood with Zhang Tianxin and Lin Xiang on the top of the pagoda, watching them control the array node while also keeping an eye on the projected images and sounds.

Hearing the conversation, Zhou Bai furrowed his brows and couldn't help but ask, "The Sky Flipping Sect spreads evil teachings, but what kind of evil teachings are they?"

"Do you not know?" Lin Xiang said, "The Sky Flipping Sect claims that humans have demonic bloodlines and have passed down a so-called method to activate these demonic bloodlines, bewitching many to cultivate it..."

Zhang Tianxin looked at Lin Xiang, gravely saying, "How do you know about the demonic bloodlines? Did you read the Sky Flipping Sect's materials?"

Lin Xiang was slightly startled and said awkwardly, "I accidentally saw it when I was searching through the belongings of a group of sect followers."

Zhang Tianxin warned, "In the future, don't spread those distorted teachings of the Sky Flipping Sect everywhere. Be careful or the authorities might capture you as a bewitched cultivator."

Lin Xiang reluctantly nodded, "I just happened to see it."

"That's still unacceptable; you know how strictly such matters are being enforced." After saying this, Zhang Tianxin turned to Zhou Bai and said, "The evil teachings spread by the Sky Flipping Sect can only provide temporary power and will ultimately turn a person into a monster. You must never learn them. If you find any classmates or teachers in West Mountain City practicing these evil teachings of the Sky Flipping Sect, you must report it to the Celestial Court."

Zhou Bai nodded outwardly, but inside, his thoughts were churning with turmoil.

He had been practicing in the wilderness with Christina recently and was completely unaware of the huge commotion stirred up by the Sky Flipping Sect.

"Li Xiuzhu has actually passed down the method to activate the demonic bloodlines? Does he want to turn all of humanity into monsters? Has he gone mad?"

Zhou Bai unconsciously touched the Demon Illuminating Eye near his right eye, finding it hard to imagine... If all the humans in the world activated their demonic bloodlines and completely turned into demons, what would the world become?

Moreover, there was another serious issue.

Zhou Bai looked towards the mountain where Li Xiuzhu was. In his eyes, Li Xiuzhu's figure shockingly no longer had a trace of green aura of fate.

"Has Li Xiuzhu lost Heaven's favor?"
