Calamity of Tomorrow
Chapter 648 648: 646 Focus

Watching the blue light fall upon the manor, the young man waited for a moment before seeing the entire estate light up with multicolored radiance. Subsequently, Ming Yue Immortal soared into the sky, having left the manor.

"Ming Yue was sent away, huh? She activated the manor's Array before leaving. Despite staying on Wanxian Island, she's quite cautious."

The young man sat down on the ground, his palm open, holding a square seal that was quietly lying within. It was the same seal once lent to Jue Ji by the four righteous gods.

"Let's wait for Ming Yue to get farther away."

The young man didn't act immediately but closed his eyes, waiting outside the manor.

...

On the battlefield of Central City, surrounded by countless spherical lightning bolts, Zi Yang True Monarch closed his eyes, hands forming seals while floating in midair. Accompanied by successive bolts of thunder descending from the sky, one after another, Heavenly Demons were melted into scrap.

The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, which seemed to reflect the scene of the manor.

Not far away, Xiang Tiandi's blade exploded on a large Heavenly Demon's body, accompanied by fierce electric light bursting out from within the Heavenly Demon, with countless muffled thunder sounds resounding inside, then immediately swallowed by a mass of lightning.

Xiang Tiandi looked at Zi Yang True Monarch and transmitted, "How's it going?"

Zi Yang True Monarch replied, "My puppet avatar has reached Wanxian Island, Ming Yue has been diverted, and I am waiting for the opportunity."

Xiang Tiandi nodded, "What's your confidence level in taking action on Wanxian Island?"

"With the method that person gave us to decrypt the prohibitions on the entire Wanxian Island," Zi Yang True Monarch said. "And I'm personally controlling the puppet, plus the heavenly seal, I can't say for sure a 100%, but there is always an 80% to 90% chance."

He suddenly smiled, "Although no one could defeat Zhou Bai in the debate of Daluo Heaven, it has exposed much of his strength. Unless he can immediately breakthrough and increase his power, transforming his combat strength, he won't escape."

"However..." Zi Yang True Monarch said with an inquisitive tone, "The teachers from Dao School and a few contestants are all with Zhou Bai. How should we deal with them?"

Xiang Tiandi's tone was ice-cold, "Execute them all, we can't risk any possibility of leaking information, it's not the time to turn against Wanxian Island. They may suspect, but they must not catch any proof."

Zi Yang True Monarch, "However, it seems I saw Xiang Haocu among their group."

Xiang Tiandi's gaze slightly hardened, and with a slash, Thunder Force burst forth like a mighty dragon, swallowing a Heavenly Demon in one bite, leaving only a pool of molten iron moments later.

Xiang Tiandi closed his eyes, a soft silhouette seeming to emerge slowly in his eyes.

He said blandly, "Bring him back to me."

Zi Yang True Monarch's eyebrows raised slightly, he softly said, "Marshal, you just said we absolutely can't have any leaks."

Xiang Tiandi coldly said, "Bring him back, I assure you he will never appear in front of the world again."

Zi Yang True Monarch lowered his head, respectfully saying, "I understand, I'll bring Xiang Haocu back safely." A sneer flashed across his face as he lowered it, thinking to himself, "As expected, Xiang Tiandi still hasn't patched up that slight flaw in his heart. With that flaw remaining, he'll never regain his full strength."

Xiang Tiandi glanced at the real Zi Yang True Monarch, coldly saying, "Your true body should head to the Central City district under Wanxian Island. If the puppet fails, you must go there in your true form and capture Zhou Bai at all costs."

Zi Yang True Monarch hesitated slightly, "A mere mortal is not worth my personal action."

Xiang Tiandi looked at Zi Yang True Monarch and said, "Do you know why I am the Marshal of Thunder, and you are forever just an ordinary true deity of the Thunder Department?"

Zi Yang True Monarch's gaze sharpened.

Xiang Tiandi said indifferently, "Because I always think one step ahead of you."

Zi Yang True Monarch clenched his teeth fiercely, his eyes narrowing slightly as if a dangerous glint flashed through.

...

The Hedgehog Heavenly Demon girl carried the Black Tortoise and ran wildly underground.

At the same time, the voice of Heavenly Demon King 'Bi' echoed in her mind, "Em, some Heavenly Demons spotted Zhou Bai. He's been taken by the Immortals to Wanxian Island."

Boom! The Hedgehog girl stomped on the ground, causing the entire sewer to burst open layer by layer, and she halted, "Wanxian Island?! Wasn't he at the debating arena?"

"Wait the fuck for me! You better wait for me!"

"I'm coming right away!"

"Straight ahead! Rampage like a wild boar!"

The Hedgehog girl suddenly turned around, held the Black Tortoise like a battering ram, and with a loud bang, she burst through a wall, continuously demolishing walls and breaking the ground as she surged forward.

The Black Tortoise's head was used to smash through layers of walls and steel plates, growing increasingly angry.

"I'll kill you! I must kill you!!"

"Heavenly Demon! Humans! You all have to die! All of you must die!"

...

Inside a mansion on Wanxian Island, Zhou Bai looked at the dots on the divine map.

After receiving first place in the Daluo Heaven debate this time, heaven favored him, and a massive amount of teal fortune fell down. Although Haotian God Emperor and Tai Yi Venerate intercepted much of it, Zhou Bai still managed to snatch a portion of the teal fortune, enough to enhance ten star points.

He used three of them to enhance the Greedy Calamity, Ignorant Calamity, and Decaying Calamity.

After the enhancement of the Decaying Calamity, the originally 'Nine Calamities Primordial Spirit - Soul Suppressing Domain' underwent another transformation, gaining a streak of teal light behind the head of the human-shaped Primordial Spirit, which already looked quite like Zhou Bai himself initially.

This teal light seemed to have no effect for now, but Zhou Bai could feel that if he continued to enhance it, it might undergo some kind of qualitative change.

Moreover, all the abilities of his Primordial Spirit had been enhanced. Although there had been no qualitative change, the mere robustness of the Primordial Spirit, various resistances, astral projection speed, firmness of the Primordial Spirit power, recovery speed, and multiple other attribute enhancements were enough to significantly boost his strength.

Additionally, the enhancement of the Ignorant Calamity allowed it, through intelligence suppression, to transfer the contamination levels inside Zhou Bai's body to others.

When contamination levels reach 50, 100, 150, 200, they respectively trigger delusions, fear, despair, and madness.

Now, with the enhancement by the teal light, the power of the Ignorant Calamity was also improved, making contamination levels reach those states at 45, 90, 135, 180 instead.

The Greedy Calamity's ability was originally to extract Primordial Spirit Armament blueprints and lend them to others to collect high fees and interest, directly converting them to laziness points for Zhou Bai.

After being enhanced, although no qualitative change occurred, the temptative power for users was increased, and the fees collected had risen by about 10%.

Zhou Bai stroked his chin, looking at the other star points, "Greedy Calamity and Ignorant Calamity are strong, but their enhancements are not direct combat power. Now with Heavenly Demons besieging cities and the chaos of gods and demons, I need abilities that are more immediate and best capable of fighting above one's level."

So Zhou Bai looked at the first star point on the Ignorant map.

Ignorance - Fool: Every lie can reduce the wisdom of the deceived; the stronger the cultivation, the shorter the duration of wisdom reduction. Note: Even if it's a god, I'll fool you.
