Calamity of Tomorrow

After Zhou Bai lured away thousands of Heavenly Demons, Qian Wangsun followed in pursuit.

On one hand, Zhou Bai was his friend, and of course, he was very concerned about Zhou Bai’s safety. On the other hand, it was because of Zhou Bai’s importance. As the only person in the team who knew Zhou Bai’s identity, he deeply understood Zhou Bai’s significance.

Furthermore, it involved assessing Zhou Bai’s strength and the strength of the thousands of level 1, 2, and 3 Heavenly Demons. Qian Wangsun understood that these Heavenly Demons probably couldn’t kill Zhou Bai.

"With the combat strength Zhou Bai displayed in the arena, he could easily overpower a cultivator at the fifth realm; these Heavenly Demons are unlikely to be his match."

"But in such a situation, he still chose to lure away the Heavenly Demons. On one hand, he wanted to protect Qin Tian and the team; on the other hand, perhaps he wanted to act alone?"

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Qian Wangsun decided to follow Zhou Bai to see what exactly was going on. As for Qin Tian’s side, given the rationality Qin Tian had shown, he would likely choose to retreat and report the news.

Although Qian Wangsun’s speed was nowhere near Zhou Bai’s, as a second realm player from Gong Tu, he was considered fast within his realm, especially since he didn’t have to dodge attacks from Heavenly Demons while running like Zhou Bai and could advance at full speed.

Before long, upon reaching a mountainous area, what Qian Wangsun saw were mountains filled with black mud soaring into the sky, gathering, surging, and scattering in the air, like a black sun slowly rising.

However, unlike the warmth and brightness the sun brings, the Black Sun of Guihai Evil in front of him looked exceedingly viscous and sinister, filled with a disgusting and nauseating feeling, as if the emergence of some monster made one wish to eradicate it completely.

"This is the Black Sun of Guihai Evil!" Qian Wangsun exclaimed, "Such a massive amount, at least a hundred times more than what was seen in the arena?"

"Hisss..." Qian Wangsun couldn’t help but gasp, "Is this Zhou Bai’s real strength? He has become so formidable?"

The next moment, Qian Wangsun grimaced and covered his nose, continuously moving backwards.

The stench of the Guihai Evil rushing towards him was too foul, almost making Qian Wangsun feel suffocated.

However, seeing the Heavenly Demons being thoroughly suppressed by Zhou Bai alone, Qian Wangsun temporarily heaved a sigh of relief.

But soon he furrowed his brow again, "Zhou Bai only used the Black Sun of Guihai Evil to suppress the movements of the Heavenly Demons; why didn’t he use other methods to kill the Heavenly Demons?"

After waiting for a while, Qian Wangsun couldn’t help but start to worry, "Could it be that something has gone wrong with Zhou Bai? Therefore, he could only suppress, not kill the Heavenly Demons? The Heavenly Demons can communicate with each other; if the standoff continues like this, other Heavenly Demons could come to reinforce."

Just as Qian Wangsun was thinking whether he should come up with a plan, he suddenly paused slightly, "Was it deliberate delay just now?"

Five seconds later, a twenty-meter-plus Heavenly Demon was crushed directly by an invisible mighty force, turning into countless particles that fell from the sky.

Then, as if a disease were spreading, within a 300-meter radius centered on Zhou Bai’s body, the Heavenly Demons fell to the ground like rain heavily pressed down by the tremendous gravitational pull of the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword.

In less than two minutes, over a thousand Heavenly Demons were swept away.

"This is the power of the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword, the goal it always pursues... Sufficient distance and formidable strength. Within the same realm, it’s nearly unbeatable, as long as I continue to cultivate..."

As Zhou Bai thought this, an intense palpitation arose in his heart, and visions of numerous stars and the sun and moon flashed through his mind, giving him a sudden urge to leave Earth, traverse the cosmos, and truly roam the universe.

"Abnormality…" Zhou Bai immediately spent 500 laziness points to treat his condition, then refrained from using the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword again.

"Unfortunately, the only drawback of the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword is that the longer it’s used, the greater the likelihood of abnormalities. Even I must use laziness points for treatment."

"However, with these level 2 and 3 Heavenly Demons, it doesn’t really make a difference whether I use the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword or not.

Then, a golden light surged from Zhou Bai’s body, ascending to the skies—it was the Autonomous Geng Metal Flying Sword activating on its own under Zhou Bai’s command.

The flying sword struck like lightning, swiftly slaughtering back and forth in a second, instantly reducing dozens of Heavenly Demons to smithereens.

Stored in the body of the Autonomous Geng Metal Flying Sword was an otherworldly force, equivalent to another Zhou Bai commanding the flying sword, attacking from afar.

After releasing the flying sword, the real Zhou Bai also unleashed his Primordial Spirit power, sweeping out over 4000 units of Primordial Spirit power, extending up to 150 meters, crushing and deforming the Heavenly Demons.

On the battlefield, it seemed as though there were two Zhou Bais—one controlling the sword to slay the enemy, and the other crushing them with the might of his Primordial Spirit—quickly eliminating the Heavenly Demons one by one.

With the power of the Catastrophe, by the time the last Heavenly Demon was slain, none had escaped across the entire battlefield.

After all was done, Zhou Bai heaved a slight sigh of relief, feeling the fate circling his Primordial Spirit in his sea of consciousness became increasingly heavy, and he frowned, "If fate is absorbed to the limit, are there side effects like this?"

Feeling his Primordial Spirit becoming increasingly sluggish, Zhou Bai didn’t have time to think too much; he reached out and grabbed, and saw the Guihai Black Fiend across the mountains begin to flow backwards towards him, simultaneously recollecting the remnants of the Heavenly Demons.

"Sell! Sell! Sell!"

"Sell them all!"

After selling all the Guihai Black Fiend and Heavenly Demon remnants, excluding the energy spent to activate the Catastrophe Domain, Zhou Bai had earned a total of 120,000 laziness points.

His current laziness point balance became: 940,000.

"Ha-ha-ha, not only did I not lose, but I even made a profit," Zhou Bai said with a flash of his figure, already appearing beside Qian Wangsun not far away.

During the battle with the Heavenly Demons, Zhou Bai was too distracted and hadn’t noticed Qian Wangsun.

However, while selling the Guihai Black Fiend and Heavenly Demon remnants, Qian Wangsun came over on his own, which was quite evident.

Qian Wangsun looked at Zhou Bai, "Don’t worry, if you don’t want to introduce your killer move, I won’t ask any questions."

Zhou Bai smiled and suddenly touched his head, frowning, "No more talking, the Heavenly Demons could come at any moment; we need to find a place first, I need to digest the gains from the battle."

Thus, the two accelerated and left the battlefield, soon finding a deserted cliff. Zhou Bai activated his Primordial Spirit power and directly dug out a large hole to enter.

As soon as he entered, he couldn’t resist sitting cross-legged, feeling a tumult within his sea of consciousness, the white fate around the Catastrophe Primordial Spirit struggling, seemingly about to stir up a storm in his sea of consciousness.
