Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 260 - 259 Abyss Fire 6
"The strongest should be several cultivators of the 5th realm. All the cultivators of the 6th realm in Donghua City are well-known and stationed in various places, and they don’t seem to be inside."
Zhou Bai had reviewed the people coming and going over the past three days, thought for a moment, and looked at his support panel, "Should be no problem."
The next moment, Zhou Bai activated the Laziness Acceleration.
If viewed from the eyes of others, Zhou Bai’s entire body had turned into a mosaic.
10 seconds later, the Laziness value consumed by Laziness Acceleration reached 10 points per second, and the mosaic had spread to a 3-meter radius around Zhou Bai.
After another 10 seconds, the Laziness value consumed had increased to 100 points per second, and the mosaic had spread to a 6-meter radius.
Christina exclaimed in surprise, "No way, Zhou Bai! You’re going to save her like this? That’s going to burn so much Laziness value! Are you crazy?"
Zhou Bai said seriously and painfully, "Laziness values can always be earned back, but lost lives can’t be returned. Plus, finding Lin Muqing could put us in touch with the Sky Flipping Sect, they might even fight the Heavenly Demon.
Even if not, we can use their people to leave Donghua City.
Additionally, Lin Muqing might know more information, which I need to understand."
Christina responded, "At least turn it off and then immediately restart it, the more you burn Laziness value, the more it will cost."
Zhou Bai replied, "Resetting it would expose too big a flaw. These guards look pretty strong, we shouldn’t underestimate them."
At that moment, the abnormal phenomenon happening around Zhou Bai finally caught the attention of the guards, who gathered around. However, as soon as they saw the mosaic, their eyes started to sting, and tears began to flow.
"What is this thing? It’s really harsh on the eyes."
"Primordial Spirit power sweep did nothing." A guard continuously rubbed his eyes, "What do we do? We can’t observe."
"It might be some kind of distortion phenomenon, let’s avoid any rash actions and call for backup."
The guards anxiously watched the mosaic before them, but tears kept flowing, blurring their vision and forcing them to occasionally turn their heads aside for relief.
But 10 seconds later, the Laziness value consumed by Zhou Bai reached 1000 points per second, and the mosaic directly expanded to a 9-meter radius around him.
With the expansion of the mosaic range, the guards nervously backed away. Some tried attacking the area covered by the mosaic, but aside from stirring it up a bit, it caused no other effects.
In Zhou Bai’s eyes, there was no mosaic at all; everything seemed completely normal around him.
He could clearly see a guard using Primordial Spirit power to attack the ground 4 meters from him, sending chips of stone flying.
But as Zhou Bai watched the Laziness values drop by thousands on his support panel, he truly felt as if his heart were bleeding.
"Damn it, Lin Muqing, when I rescue you, you owe me a lifetime of Laziness." Zhou Bai gritted his teeth and activated Laziness Acceleration again. In an instant, he dashed toward the small courtyard where Lin Muqing was being held.
Meanwhile, sensing the movement of the big blob of mosaic, the guards launched their attacks.
But the space within 9 meters around Zhou Bai was covered in mosaic, and most of their attacks simply hit the ground, completely failing to harm Zhou Bai.
Thus, Zhou Bai charged into the courtyard with a large swath of mosaic, while using the amulet in his hand to observe and follow Lin Muqing’s past movements.
Suddenly, the entire courtyard turned chaotic, as dozens of guards mobilized and swarmed towards the moving mosaic.
"What’s going on!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Someone has mutated!"
"Watch out! The target is a bit of an eyesore!"
"What did you say?"
"Damn! It really is an eyesore!"
Zhou Bai held a necklace in one hand and the Chengying Sword in the other. Under the effect of Laziness Acceleration, he broke the sound barrier, reaching extreme speeds.

Wherever he passed, no matter if it were doors, walls, or secret doors, he split them all with one swing of his sword, charging straight ahead. Relying on the guards’ unfamiliarity with the calamity, he burst through a secret door and entered an underground hall, then followed an underground passage at the end of the hall.
Passing through a long corridor, a series of cells appeared before Zhou Bai. He briefly scanned the cells with his Primordial Spirit power and found that each one held someone sleeping on a bed, seemingly so deep in sleep that nothing could awaken them.
Following the afterimages left by his previous motions, he finally saw Lin Muqing in one of the cells, lying quietly on the bed, appearing uninjured, her heartbeat and breathing normal, as if she had just fallen asleep.
Zhou Bai slashed through the door, nudged Lin Muqing, and found no response from her.
’Is she unconscious?’
Just then, 10 seconds had passed, and the range of the calamity had expanded once more, now reaching 15 meters around him, and the consumption of Laziness Acceleration reached a whopping ten thousand points per second.
Zhou Bai’s heart clenched, feeling almost tearful, he quickly carried Lin Muqing and walked outside.
However, when he returned to the underground hall, two cultivators of the fifth realm blocked his path. He saw them form hand seals, along with surges of spiritual energy, a fire dragon and a water dragon, with the momentum to cover the entire mosaic area, struck toward Zhou Bai.
In fact, in the less than 10 seconds since Zhou Bai had stormed in, guards had already started to leave the mosaic area and found various marks on the ground from their attacks, guessing the general weakness of the mosaic.
After all, Zhou Bai thought, reacted, and moved quickly. These guards were also cultivators with varying levels of skills, and their speed was absolutely not slow.
"These marks on the ground are where I attacked."
"Did we just hit the ground?"
"Watch out! The true body of that creature might not be that big, the mosaic is just his disguise!"
"Let’s use a wide-range attack to test the real size of his body!"
The two fifth realm cultivators, tears streaming down their faces, cast their spells, aiming to cover the entire mosaic area.
Seeing this, Zhou Bai was startled, "Deliberately waiting for me in this large underground room? Wanting to use a wide-range attack to completely cover the mosaic at once?"
Zhou Bai’s heart sank. He had considered that people might figure out various ways to probe for the weakness of the calamity, but he didn’t expect it to happen so fast.
In such a crisis, especially when Laziness values are still burning at ten thousand points, Zhou Bai had no intention of delaying. Facing the attack of the fifth realm cultivators, he immediately went all out.
’Star Shattering Sword Swift…’
Star Shattering Sword Swift, a high-speed sword maneuver customized for Zhou Bai’s situation, integrating 156 sets of swordsmanship with the Chengying Sword.
The Chengying Sword in Zhou Bai’s hand soared, bringing about a sky full of sword light, confronting a water dragon within the mosaic area.
The storm reversed, his physical strength wildly transforming into Primordial Spirit power, causing a sudden spike in Zhou Bai’s Primordial Spirit power. It then collided and compounded with the extraterrestrial forces within the sword, drawing on the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and releasing bursts of electric light.
It was as if he had turned the entire world into a giant acceleration electromagnetic field, instantly accelerating the Chengying Sword to a speed that even Zhou Bai struggled to perceive.
