Calamity of Tomorrow
Chapter 712 - 712: 710 Distorted Weapon

The Demon Exorcist's eyebrows lifted in surprise, he hadn't expected that this time, the Heavenly Court would actually dispatch three leader-level deities from the four divisions, with both Xiang Tiandi and Fan Ming being Marshals of the Thunder Department, and Si Yi Heavenly Lord, despite looking like a little girl, was also one of the three great Lords of the Plague Department.

All three were true veterans, deities thousands or even tens of thousands of years old. In terms of background and experience, they were far beyond the ordinary deities of the four divisions.

The Demon Exorcist thought, 'These old monsters, in terms of age, I'm still just a kid in front of them.' The Demon Exorcist hadn't even reached five hundred years yet.

At the same time, the profiles of the three individuals already popped up familiarly in his mind. This intelligence had often been reviewed in his head, known as thoroughly as the treasures of his own home.

'Xiang Tiandi, as one of the four great Marshals of the Thunder Department, is a top-tier deity among the regular ones. His Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique has reached the pinnacle, and his mastery over the thunder escape technique is nothing short of divine. However, due to his attachment to mortals, his level of Daoization has never recovered to above 140%.

It is unexpected that this time, in the ambush against Zhou Bai with Zi Yang True Monarch, I heard that he failed and even let Zhou Bai kill Zi Yang True Monarch. Clearly, there was something fishy going on. No matter how tricky Zhou Bai's abilities are, it's hardly likely he could kill Zi Yang in front of Xiang Tiandi. I think it's very likely that Xiang Tiandi himself played some trick.'

His gaze shifted slightly as the Demon Exorcist thought of Fan Ming.

'Marshal Jiu Xiao Fan Ming... it is said that he became a god tens of thousands of years ago, mastered all thunder methods under heaven, and is the founder of over a thousand types of thunder methods, considered the patriarch of countless cultivators. Moreover, it is rumored that before the distortion of the Heavenly Dao, during the peak of his strength, he once used Heavenly Tribulation Lightning for Body Tempering.

To temper the body with Heavenly Tribulation Lightning, such a thing is unimaginable in the distorted Heavenly Dao of the present. But thanks to it, he boasts a Divine Body known to ward off myriad evils effortlessly, impervious to harm by Demon Gods. His combat power cannot be simply measured by Daoization level.'

'And then there's the Plague Department's Si Yi Heavenly Lord, this goddess inherits a secret ancient tradition, she is a reincarnated Primordial Spirit, having cultivated nine times over nine lifetimes, gathering the strengths of both righteous and evil, cultivating Buddhism, Daoism, and Demonism together, and only in her tenth life did she ascend voluntarily to godhood. Her fate and accumulation are extraordinary, and her cultivation has also recovered quickly after the distortion of the Heavenly Dao.'

'Compared to these old-timers, my foundation and trump cards are still somewhat lacking.'

In the eyes of the Demon Exorcist, every immortal who managed to cultivate to the point of ascension during their era was legendary, belonging to mythology.

And at the level of the leaders of all four divisions, to stand out among many legendary and mythological deities, to lead the divine, was truly mythological within mythology. Each one was a son of destiny, a genius among geniuses, lacking nothing in terms of talent, background, foundation, or heritage.

'Now that these three deities are acting together, the Sky Flipping Sect would definitely not be a match. Even more so since it's not just these three who will take action, but ten deities in total.'

The thought of ten deities coming together to besiege the Sky Flipping Sect on such a grand scale made the Demon Exorcist realize, 'It seems the Divine Emperor has made a firm decision to win this battle outright, not giving the Sky Flipping Sect any chance.

And the biggest variable in this battle is the aberrant weapon acquired by the Sky Flipping Sect.'

With that thought, the Demon Exorcist curiously asked, "Do we now know what level of aberrant weapon the Sky Flipping Sect has snatched away, the Blood Transformation Divine Sword?"

Aberrant weapons were a secret of the Heavenly Court, secret weapons known only to deities and a very few human cultivators.

While all aberrant weapons utilized the power of the Void, they contained different capabilities, wielded different powers, and attacked in diverse ways, naturally having varying strengths and weaknesses.

The Void itself represents chaos, the unknown, and terror. Weapons that use the Void's power are the same, and even the creators can't be sure of their potency before they are made. They must be manufactured first and then tested one by one.

Through the research of the Plague Department and after consultation among the three great Lords of the Plague Department, aberrant weapons were comprehensively evaluated based on their destructive power and danger level, and categorized into four levels: Extermination of Persons, Extermination of Cities, Extermination of Nations, and Extermination of Worlds.

Apocalypse-level aberrant weapons, once discovered, would automatically activate; they possessed power that even divine beings could not truly master. A slight mishap could trigger a global catastrophe, possibly annihilating all life on the surface, permanently damaging the planet's ecosystem, or even leaving divine beings unable to escape disaster.

All apocalypse-level aberrant weapons, upon discovery, were forbidden for anyone to use, with the Plague Department implementing permanent sealing measures.

It could be said that apocalypse-level aberrant weapons were no longer weapons but disasters.

Below apocalypse-level were the nation-destroying aberrant weapons. These could be reluctantly used by divine beings but were still incredibly dangerous, capable of killing divine beings and causing the deaths of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Most of the time, nation-destroying aberrant weapons were also sealed away, and the use application required approval from the Divine Emperor.

The remaining city-destroying and person-destroying levels were the aberrant weapons most commonly used by divine beings.

Hearing the question from Tu Tianmo, Xiang Tiandi shook his head, "According to Yan Zhen's observations and the recent Void Pulse data collected by the Plague Department, it shouldn't be an apocalypse-level aberrant weapon. But whether it's nation-destroying, city-destroying, or person-destroying level, that's unknown."

Tu Tianmo thought to himself, 'The eradication of the Sky Flipping Sect is imperative; it is clear the Divine Emperor has made up his mind. Zhou Bai might also go to help the Sky Flipping Sect. That youngster has strayed from the right path, not worthy of consideration in death, but his bloodline must not be severed; we must capture him before the rightful gods do.'

He nodded and said, "I understand. I will ask for permission from Heavenly Lord and arrange for people to join in the eradication of the Sky Flipping Sect."

Xiang Tiandi smiled faintly, "Thank you for your efforts; however, in addition to us, we also need to bring along a group of mortal cultivators..."

Tu Tianmo, "I understand."

An hour later, Heavenly Demon was called before his father and, hearing what the other said, was taken aback, "I'm to join in the operation against the Sky Flipping Sect?"

Tu Tianmo, "Yes."

Heavenly Demon, "But they have aberrant weapons!"

Tu Tianmo, "Yes."

Heavenly Demon's eyes sharpened, and he said with a bow, "Father! This great battle, with the Sky Flipping Sect possessing aberrant weapons, and heavens dispatching ten divine beings, will surely be a legendary war that will go down in history. Whichever cultivator distinguishes themselves in this battle will certainly gain the favor of the heavens."

Tu Tianmo nodded, "Yes."

Heavenly Demon continued, "But clearly, as a cultivator at merely the seventh realm, I do not have the strength to stand out in this battle. The thought of missing such an opportunity because I am not strong enough makes me want to focus on cultivation in seclusion..."

Seeing the increasingly cold light in Tu Tianmo's eyes, Heavenly Demon said helplessly, "I understand. I will start preparing right away."

Meanwhile, countless individuals and forces throughout the heavens were mobilizing, beginning to make various preparations for the eradication of the Sky Flipping Sect.
