Calamity of Tomorrow

Xiang Tiandi sighed softly, "Your deaths will stabilize this world. For the safety of all, these are necessary sacrifices."

He then waved his hand, and streaks of lightning turned the bodies to ashes, and with a sweep of his Primordial Spirit, he scattered their remnants into the high atmosphere.

Having done all this, Xiang Tiandi seemed as nonchalant as if he had casually crushed a few ants, his expression calm and serene as he continued to look towards the direction of the platform.

After all, killing a few people was all too common for him in order to maintain the rule of the Heavenly Court and the stability of the human race.

"Zhou Bai, let me see what tricks you have up your sleeve."

Zhou Bai broke through Xiang Tiandi's hindrance and stepped directly onto the platform, looking at his opponent and said, "Slaying Ghost God, from now on, your life has just ten minutes left."

Slaying Ghost God looked at Zhou Bai, unable to suppress the rage surging in his heart, his intense desire to kill momentarily restrained.

In a tone of iron and steel, he said to Zhou Bai, "Zhou Bai, do you know what you're doing? You and the Sky Flipping Sect are not the same..."

Zhou Bai responded indifferently, "I'm very aware of what I'm doing, I know I don't have demon blood in me, and I also know that the current human race has been infused with some demon blood."

Slaying Ghost God glared at Zhou Bai, strands of Sword Light bursting from his eyes, as if to slice through heaven and earth, dividing yin from yang.

Slaying Ghost God said, "You know you're of pure human lineage, then you should understand, you are supposed to be the true successor of human civilization. We planned on fully supporting you after you ranked first in the Daluo Heaven Debate, but what have you done?"

"Left with the Heavenly Demon..."

"And now you're helping the Sky Flipping Sect?"

"Do you know how the Sky Flipping Sect is spreading the method to activate demon bloodlines everywhere? The Heavenly Court has paid countless prices, sacrificed generations, to defeat the demons, to exterminate them on this world..."

"And now you want to help the Sky Flipping Sect release the demons again?"

Listening to Slaying Ghost God's accusations, Zhou Bai slowly said, "The demons have never been eradicated by you, they have always been in this world."

Slaying Ghost God frowned, "What madness are you spouting?"

Zhou Bai looked towards where Xiang Tiandi was standing and suddenly spoke loudly, "In the Heavenly Court, there are demons among the Orthodox Gods, haven't you always known that? Demons have become Orthodox Gods!"

Zhou Bai's voice, like rolling thunder, spread across the sky, reaching the ears of countless people present.

However, the projection did not spread his voice, so those watching in the five major cities couldn't hear Zhou Bai's words.

Though those on-site did hear, no one believed him.

"Ridiculous." Zhang Tianxin shook his head, "Has Zhou Bai gone mad to say such absurd things?"

Xiang Tiandi, upon hearing this, slightly clenched his hand, with flashes of electric light in his eyes.

Slaying Ghost God said coldly, "Is this the reason for your actions? Demons among the Orthodox Gods of the Heavenly Court? Ridiculous..."

Zhou Bai laughed out loud, "See! This is why I'm leaving the Heavenly Court, the demons have become Orthodox Gods, and you immortals are kept in the dark, not even knowing such crucial information, how can I dare stay in Central City?"

"Do you know? Not only have demons become Orthodox Gods, they even retain many pure human lineages. The pure human lineage that you immortals have been diligently seeking is right in the hands of the Orthodox Gods of the Heavenly Court."

Zhou Bai's shout thunderously spread out, turning into a gusting wind, lifting the clouds.

Naturally, Slaying Ghost God couldn't believe the 'madness' Zhou Bai was spouting, but a trace of doubt arose in his heart. Why would Zhou Bai say such nonsense?

"Did Li Xiuzhu tell you these words?" Slaying Ghost God said coldly, "Is he using these ghostly tales to deceive you all, to make you die for him?"

Zhou Bai calmly said, "I saw it with my own eyes. In my battle with Zi Yang True Monarch, I directly saw him transform into a demon, and in my fight with Li Zhengdao, I personally saw that at least three of his subordinates were great demons..."

Just then, Xiang Tiandi transmitted a message to the platform, speaking indifferently, "Brother Tu, don't let Zhou Bai delay time and disturb the morale; remember, the projections are being broadcast everywhere."

Slaying Ghost God's gaze flickered slightly, and he knew that Xiang Tiandi was right—at this moment, the whole world was watching this arena. It was not the time to converse with Zhou Bai; he needed to strike hard and swiftly capture Zhou Bai, then slow down to interrogate him.

Sword light surged violently from Slaying Ghost God, and his figure retreated slightly—already entering into the Luotian Realm.

The figure of Slaying Ghost God disappeared instantaneously; not a trace of sword light could be seen on the entire platform anymore, and his aura vanished without a trace, utterly undetectable.

But Zhou Bai could still feel a lingering, almost imperceptible sword intent coming from all directions.

It seemed that at the next moment, it would pierce through his soul.

"Luotian Teleportation."

Luotian Teleportation, a power one could wield after reaching a Dao integration degree of nearly 140%, could attack the Material World from Daluo Heaven, essentially transcending spatial boundaries.

With just this technique, immortals stood invincible against mortals.

Zhou Bai was not facing Luotian Teleportation for the first time; his face showed no trace of nervousness. He merely opened his mouth and spat out the Void Crown.

Twelve mechanical followers sharing Tang Ruhai's powers activated the electromagnetic shield, Phase Transfer Armor, and a protection field of one hundred and eight layers that thoroughly cocooned Zhou Bai.

Then, the pendant that transformed from the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor shifted shape, turning into a fierce armor that enveloped Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai looked down slightly, speaking indifferently, "Slaying Ghost God, you have only eight minutes left to live."

"Huff, what an absurd boast."

Whoosh!

The Sword Light flared up behind Zhou Bai, countless lights merging into a majestic river of swords, rushing toward his back.

"Slaying Ghost God's 'Zi Qi Cast Light Sword' gathered fortunes and combined the strengths of both good and evil, condensing the Heavenly Yang Sword Light and Xuan Yin Sword Energy.

Heavenly Yang Sword Light was magnificent and vast, breaking all evil spirits.

Xuan Yin Sword Energy was ghastly and lingering, shapeless and formless.

Especially when Slaying Ghost God, with a Dao integration degree of 139%, wielded it, this combination of sword light and energy was not only profoundly mysterious but also tremendously powerful, enough to kill even ten ninth-realm experts in one strike.

At this moment, the Heavenly Yang Sword Light suddenly exploded, the formidable Primordial Spirit force, Sword Intent, fortune, and righteous secret techniques all erupted, tearing through the defenses of the Void Crown and breaking through eighty-one layers of protective fields.

With Supreme Sword Intent, condensing both brilliance and fortune into sword light powered by a Dao integration degree of 139%, how strong could it be?

Even the Void Crown could only barely manage to resist.

Seeing this, Zhou Bai summoned the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword Force within him, proactively extending a finger that collided fiercely with the Heavenly Yang Sword Light.

Sword fingers clashed violently with the sword light.

The sword light struck the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, creating a thunderous boom.

Inside the soul sea, the Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor shone brilliantly.

This strike was ultimately blocked by Zhou Bai.

Following this, Slaying Ghost God's sword light continuously burst forth, attacking Zhou Bai from all directions within the Void Crown.

Sword against finger, striking and exploding again and again.

Relying on the Void Crown, Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor, Tang Ruhai's enhancement, damage reduction from the corrupted body, and the accumulated power of acquired treasures...

Slaying Ghost God's relentless sword light was still blocked by Zhou Bai, unable to penetrate his body in the slightest.

Pointing out once more, Zhou Bai blocked the descending sword light from Slaying Ghost God, speaking with a look of disappointment, "Slaying Ghost God, you can't even break through my defenses? Is this the strength of an immortal?"
