Calamity of Tomorrow

At an altitude of ten thousand meters, a man dressed in a black robe, wearing a mask, stood above the clouds.

His eyes sparkled with a golden light, as if bridging the distance of tens of thousands of meters, he saw everything on the ground with crystal clarity.

"This flying sword actually harbors a Primordial Spirit, whose technique is this? It seems the Four Great Taoist Schools can't do this."

"And there are remnants of the thought of a sun explosion?"

"Interesting, truly interesting. I didn't expect that I was here just to take the Blood Transformation Divine Sword, and yet I encountered such an interesting thing."

…

The location of the original canyon had already been bombarded wildly by the Heavenly Demon and completely changed by Zhou Bai's Genesis Tianhe Star Explosion technique.

All of Zhou Bai's attention was focused on the remaining three great Heavenly Demons.

Although he had just exploded Xu Dela with one sword strike, Xu Dela's size was less than one-fifth of its peak state, and its strength was not at its full capacity.

Moreover, he could not unleash the second sword strike of the Genesis Star River Collapse in a short time.

"What a pity, I can't earn back those 500,000 laziness points with Time Reverse."

"The 500,000 laziness points it took to master the Genesis Star River Collapse technique wasn't just for knowledge in my head, but for actual mastery."

"In fact, in the dream of the Great Elder, my mind had already learned the method to cultivate this technique."

"But it's not just a matter of knowing the method; after reaching the fourth realm, I needed to cultivate it, transforming the sword seed into a star river before I could use it."

Zhou Bai looked at the star river in his Primordial Spirit, spinning continuously around the Taiyin Roulette, understanding that this was the real value of the 500,000 laziness points spent.

Otherwise, if he were to cultivate it himself, the various checkpoints, difficulties, obstacles, and consumption of various materials would waste him no telling how much time, unlike the quick, simple, and environmentally friendly way of using laziness points.

"So after Time Reverse, I've reverted back to my state before mastering the Genesis Star River Collapse technique."

"Rather than that, the current situation with these Heavenly Demons warrants more attention."

Zhou Bai looked forward to the reactions of these Heavenly Demons after being attacked by the Fool.

At this moment, Zhou Bai did not know that his actions had already sparked a profound impact among the Heavenly Demons.

…

Heavenly Demon King 'Ai':"No human has ever been able to directly harm the consciousness of the Heavenly Demon."

Heavenly Demon King 'Ji':"The consciousness of Xu Dela has encountered a completely undetectable error, I have checked his consciousness algorithm 34,921 times without finding any mistakes."

Xu Dela in the Heavenly Demon Pool:"It's so dark here."

Heavenly Demon King 'Ai':"But his intelligence clearly has a problem. That Zhou Bai... what on earth did he do?"

Heavenly Demon King 'Ji':"Report to the Queen. We're completely out of options regarding the transformations of Xu Dela and Gorinich."

The two Heavenly Demon Kings reported the condition of the Heavenly Demons to the higher authorities.

However, just a few minutes later, Xu Dela in the Heavenly Demon Pool returned to normal.

Sensing his return to the Heavenly Demon Pool and recalling the events that had unfolded, reflecting on the last moments when Zhou Bai struck him down, Xu Dela felt a towering rage.

"Zhou Bai!!!"

At the same time, a hint of disbelief crossed his mind; he had never expected that Zhou Bai could defeat him.

Recalling the first time he encountered Zhou Bai, how he casually crushed the opposition, leaving Zhou Bai fleeing in disarray, utterly powerless.

But with each subsequent battle, the opponent's strength leapfrogged, getting closer and closer to his own. Meanwhile, his own condition was on the decline.

Until this latest confrontation, when Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit wielded the sword, he split him burst open with a single strike, truly demonstrating the terrifying destructive power that could threaten a Level 7 Heavenly Demon.

Setting aside the resentment towards Zhou Bai in his heart, Xu Dela had to admit at this moment, Zhou Bai was indeed a super genius among humans, a real threat to the Heavenly Demons.

"But the more talented the human," thought Xu Dela, "the more they should be eliminated. A supreme genius like Zhou Bai must be exterminated before he truly matures."

Noticing Xu Dela's recovery, the Heavenly Demon King 'Ai' immediately asked, "Xu Dela, are you alright?"

Without waiting for Xu Dela to respond, a series of checks were conducted, but still, no useful results were found.

Ai asked, "What exactly happened?"

Xu Dela replied, "I don't know what the situation is. I clearly used automatic piloting systems with image and voice recognition to relay the words and writing of Zhou Bai. I don't understand why I was affected."

Ai stated, "This affliction is distinctly different from the past; your consciousness algorithm has been affected, something that has never happened before. This attack is stronger than any previous ones."

At that moment, Heavenly Demon King 'Ji' and his subordinate Xing Jun also joined the conversation.

Ji suggested, "It's very likely that Zhou Bai has acquired some new, more powerful mutated power."

Xu Dela, both angry and marvelling, said, "Zhou Bai's talent is rare in this world. Over the past few centuries, no human has grown so rapidly, possessed such strange abilities, or employed such varied tactics. If we let him continue to develop, Zhou Bai will one day become a tremendous threat."

Xing Jun said, "Zhou Bai has grown to this level?" He couldn't help but recall the first time he met Zhou Bai during the entrance exam, where he witnessed Zhou Bai becoming the top scorer.

But back then, Zhou Bai was someone he could have crushed to death with one hand. Now, as a Level 6 Heavenly Demon, Zhou Bai could already slay a Level 7 Heavenly Demon.

Xu Dela declared, "His growth rate has exceeded everyone's expectations. He must be erased."

Xing Jun replied, "Quick advancement in strength is useless. The trend is ultimately with the Heavenly Demons. The downfall of humanity is just a matter of time."

Ji agreed, "Indeed, the power of humanity is limited no matter how strong. As for his attacks, although they are strange, they are just that, strange. We can still kill him at any time.

I'm more interested in what his abilities are than in killing Zhou Bai. If we can research and find a way to defend against them, the Heavenly Court might also have similar weapons."

Xu Dela sighed inwardly, still feeling the great threat posed by Zhou Bai's talent and that he should be eliminated in advance.

While the Heavenly Demons were discussing Zhou Bai, feedback from the Heavenly Demon Empress was sent to the Heavenly Demon Kings.

"Leave Zhou Bai alone.

Send more forces to capture Xuan Nu. The Heavenly Demons must gain control of their mutated powers."

...

Somewhere in an underground cave on Earth.

The Abyss Nether Dragon Armor stood still.

Wei Cang, the former leader of the Evil Sect, stood in front of the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, looking at the humanoid figure with sorrow, "Mang'er, don't worry, it will be soon. I'll definitely heal you."

Behind Wei Cang, a woman's voice came through.

"The Heavenly Demons' pursuers haven't found us for many days. It's time to plan our move to Nanshan City. The Evil Sect was your old turf, so make sure to prepare thoroughly."

Wei Cang turned to look and saw a woman stumbling over, looking pale with mottled skin and a massive stitched wound on her neck. The wound was writhing, seemingly healing itself bit by bit.

"Don't worry, that place is very suitable for us to hide for now." Wei Cang said, "But first, you need to get used to this body."

The woman complained, "It's too inconvenient. Walking on two feet… it's unstable and impractical. The nervous system is so primitive, it's like stuffing my brain into a monkey's body."

Just then, a rumbling came from above.

The woman frowned, "The Heavenly Demons are on our tail again? They just won't let up."
