Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 1138 - 1136: Sword Trial

Holding the Sword of the Human Sovereign and wearing Zhou Bai's armor, Zhou Bai's strength was once again soaring at this moment. However, no matter how much it grew, without a real fight, he couldn't truly know where his limits lay.

In his sea of consciousness, Christina excitedly shouted, "Zhou Bai! Zhou Bai! Let's find someone to spar with! Let's see the results of my training."

"It's my training results. But to test the sword? Who should we find?"

As Zhou Bai spoke, he controlled the replicas that formed the armor through the communication network of the Heavenly Demon, ready to release the power of the Nine Disasters of Heavens and Men at any time.

Christina said, "Dutian Great Spirit Officer! Isn't he the only enemy on Earth right now?"

"The immortals and the Dutian Great Spirit Officer in Central City do indeed need to be dealt with."

"It's just right to capture them all for my… I mean, as sparring partners."

Zhou Bai nodded. With a twist of his body, he shot across the sky like lightning, piercing through the atmosphere and flying straight towards Central City.

At the same time, the Sword of the Human Sovereign in his hand extended a hundred meters of Sword Qi, swiftly flickering around him, traversing space, appearing and disappearing along the way.

Hearing Zhou Bai's words, Christina felt a shiver in her heart, as if she could already foresee the plight of those immortals. She murmured softly, "You can't blame me for warning Zhou Bai. Either face it as a leek today, or a leek in the future. If you want to blame something, blame your ill fate..."

...

A few days before Zhou Bai arrived in Central City.

Above the ruins of Central City, in the Miluo Heavenly Palace, dozens of immortals were jointly refining an Immortal Artifact under the auspices of the Dutian Great Spirit Officer.

In the center of the Artifact Refining Array, a giant painting flapped in the wind. Inside the painting, countless twisted shadows clustered together, twisted and struggling like living creatures, emitting maddening cries.

Turning his gaze away after a brief glance at the shadows in the painting, Tu Guishen felt a restlessness in his heart, and his Primordial Spirit slightly unstable, so he quickly turned away, refusing to look at the content in the painting. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

'Is this the Dao Sin method created within the Supreme Heaven Celestial Court?'

'Immortal Artifacts used to enact the order of the heavens. Since the distortion of Heavenly Dao, Immortal Artifacts have lost their original power.'

'But this Dao Sin method can transform Immortal Artifacts into artifacts of the twisted Heavenly Dao, truly unbelievable.'

'Now, this original Innate Dao Extremity Diagram has become a new Immortal Artifact executing the twisted Heavenly Dao.'

At that moment, with a solemn expression, Dutian Great Spirit Officer changed the incantation in his hand and shouted softly, "Rise!"

"Collect!"

The scroll at the center of the array slowly coiled up amid roaring sounds. As the scroll completely closed, the maddening roars also gradually faded away, and finally, the Innate Dao Extremity Diagram was taken into the arms of the Dutian Great Spirit Officer.

"Spent two Immortal Artifacts and countless treasures of the heavens and the earth, and finally, it barely succeeded."

The Dutian Great Spirit Officer exhaled slightly, feeling a bit uplifted as if he had risen again.

Previously, he was repelled by Zhou Bai with a stroke of the Heavenly Dao Scripture and had no intention of confronting Zhou Bai again, willing only to guard the heavenly palace, waiting for the opening of the gate to Supreme Heaven.

In his view, everything would be resolved once the gate of Supreme Heaven opened, and the Celestial Court descended.

Later, Qian Wangsun rescued Si Yi and others, using foreknowledge to deceive him. This seemingly existing Dao Ancestor level expert made him feel an immense sense of threat.

Therefore, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer was unwilling to wait any longer and instead forced dozens of immortals to surrender their hidden Immortal Artifacts, proceeding to use the Dao Sin method to refine them, transforming them into a state between Immortal Artifacts and mutant weapons.

Sensing the mysteries within the new Immortal Artifact, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer nodded with satisfaction.

'Last time, Zhou Bai forced me to retreat primarily by relying on the techniques of writing the Heavenly Dao Scripture.'

'Although this Innate Dao Extremity Diagram is just an embryonic form, it still has the power to suppress distortions, resist mutations, isolate Heavenly Dao capabilities, making it most suitable for countering mutant weapons, mutant abilities, or the Heavenly Dao Scripture methods like Zhou Bai's.'

With the Innate Dao Extremity Diagram, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer was confident that he could hold his own against Zhou Bai in a rematch and also have the chance to escape if he encountered a Dao Ancestor.

Continuing his thoughts, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer mused: 'In the future, with multiple rituals refining the Innate Dao Extremity Diagram, connecting thoroughly with the twisted Heavenly Dao, there would be more assurance when encountering Zhou Bai or a Dao Ancestor.'

The other immortals studied the Innate Dao Extremity Diagram taken by the Dutian Great Spirit Officer, each with differing expressions, all fostering a longing for the Dao Sin method from Supreme Heaven.

...

A few days later, boundless Sword Qi enveloped the heavenly palace in all directions, reaching a Daoification level of 100%, and Zhou Bai, with his cultivation nearing completion, descended from the heavens.

Zhou Bai did not conceal his presence at all, his Sword Qi spreading across the sky, making the atmosphere howl, stirring winds and clouds all around. The immortals within the Central City Heavenly Palace and the Dutian Great Spirit Officer quickly became aware of him.

Leading the other immortals upwards, Dutian Great Spirit Officer, along with the four Celestial Venerables and Tu Guishen, charged into the sky. The heavenly palace array operating at full power immediately surrounded the entire palace in immortal light and auspicious clouds.

A golden Sword Qi rose like a blazing sun, followed by a single slash akin to the creation of Heaven and Earth, sweeping through the immortal light of Miluo Heavenly Palace.

The Sword Qi collided fiercely with the immortal light, changing the colors of the world. Amidst the storm, the earth rolled, transforming into countless gorges and plains.

The Dutian Great Spirit Officer presided over the heavenly palace array, leading the immortals to confront Zhou Bai. With his hand incantation changing, countless immortal lights firmly shielded him and the group of immortals.

Through months of cultivation, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer had restored his Daoification degree to 199%, and the other four Celestial Venerables and Tu Guishen had restored theirs to above 170% or even 180%, enabling them to sever space, be immune to all techniques, or use the five-qi status at 180% to perceive the Heavenly Dao and understand all things.

Thus, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer, combined with the power of the immortals, was tens of times stronger than a few months ago.

With the recently refined Innate Dao Extremity Diagram, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer felt intent on contending with Zhou Bai this time.

Simply put, with the Immortal Artifact at hand, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer felt he could take risks again.

Looking at Zhou Bai, Dutian Great Spirit Officer shouted, "Zhou Bai, how dare you attack the heavenly palace? You've repeatedly troubled the world, damaging the order of heaven and earth, turning mortals and immortals against each other, waging constant battles, and causing chaos in the world..."

Zhou Bai coldly said, "You immortals only know how to stand on high, oppressing mortals. What use do we have for you?"

With that, the End of Desolate Tribulation behind him swelled, and with a gentle shake, Zhou Bai instantly felt his consciousness connect to something high above, infinitely distant, yet omnipotent and all-knowing.

'This feeling… is it the Heavenly Dao?'
