Calamity of Tomorrow

"Heavenly Demon?"

"Shi Fa... have you ever felt true terror?"

The first line was Zhou Bai's internal judgment, while the next line was what he addressed to Shi Fa.

As he finished speaking, the Red Heavenly Armor instantly enveloped Zhou Bai. Even though the armor on his chest was still shattered, it didn't impede the accelerating streams of flame from his back.

After detecting traces of the Heavenly Demon in the opponent's attack, Zhou Bai's killing intent boiled ever more fiercely.

But he chose not to immediately report the matter.

Christina said, "Zhou Bai! If you say now that he's in cahoots with the Heavenly Demon, could you win right away?"

Zhou Bai shook his head, "Heavenly Demon is best at hiding. Once I announce it publicly, the Heavenly Demon within him might just conceal itself... and besides, the most crucial point..."

"I must kill him with my own hands today."

Christina looked at Shi Fa in front of her and sighed, feeling that today's Zhou Bai seemed different: 'Zhou Bai looks a bit spooked today.'

Elsa hugged Christina and nodded, adding with her tail tucked, "Zhou Bai seems really fierce today."

As Zhou Bai spoke, Shi Fa only felt a surge of intense coldness hitting him, making his whole body shudder uncontrollably.

Tathagata Heart Seal!

Golden Dharma Seals erupted from behind Shi Fa, sending bursts that carried the incendiary gifts from the Heavenly Demon, aiming to inject them all into Zhou Bai's mind in one go.

Bang!

A flash of gold burst exactly where Zhou Bai's figure stood, but Shi Fa's strike had only hit an afterimage.

Meanwhile, Zhou Bai's body, like streaks of lightning, moved at incredible speed, appearing as a sharp sword aimed directly at Shi Fa.

With Zhou Bai moving, bursts of golden light exploded wherever he went, creating successive shockwaves.

These were the Tathagata Heart Seals from Shi Fa that continued to target Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai frowned, dodging all of Shi Fa's attacks while muttering irritably, 'Although it doesn't bother me... getting hit would still be a waste of my laziness points.'

Shi Fa frowned in alarm, 'High-speed movement? So fast! If he keeps moving at such speed, I won't be able to hit him.'

Though the Tathagata Heart Seal could strike targets through the air, the process of aiming and firing still required a person's operation, which, no matter how fast their response, would always have a delay.

Now, with Zhou Bai moving at high speeds that even Shi Fa struggled to track, Shi Fa's continuous attacks were rendered useless.

This wasn't like the close combat earlier when Shi Fa had an easier time hitting Zhou Bai.

But remembering the viciousness of Zhou Bai's melee combat, Shi Fa didn't want to get entangled with him again. That was why he chose to fully unleash the Dragon Elephant Kasaya, wrapping it into a massive spherical defense.

Bang!

Zhou Bai, accompanied by blazing streams of fire, slammed at 15 times the speed of sound onto the Dragon Elephant Kasaya. The Kasaya undulated and vibrated violently, and Zhou Bai's body surged forward over ten meters before stopping. Finally, with a thud, he punched Shi Fa in the face.

Then Zhou Bai's body disappeared once more, leaving behind a series of Tathagata Heart Seals chasing after him, exploding with large shockwaves and flames.

When Shi Fa watched Zhou Bai weave through his barrage of attacks and punches pressing against the Dragon Elephant Kasaya, a flash of panic crossed his heart.

His body was thrown back, but as he watched Zhou Bai circling at high speed around him and the Kasaya, breaking through again and again to hit his flesh, the look of shock on his face gradually vanished, replaced with a disdainful smile.

'Useless, Zhou Bai's attacks can't penetrate both the Dragon Elephant Kasaya and the nanosuit's dual protection to harm me.'

'That was close. Without the nanosuit, these fierce high-speed combos would have defeated me, wouldn't they?'

'But there are no ifs, and now I stand invincible.'

Watching Zhou Bai's fists pound over and over into his body, rolled up by the Dragon Elephant Kasaya, Shi Fa, protected by the Kasaya and the nanosuit, barely felt any force.

On the contrary, it was Zhou Bai who kept moving and shifting rapidly, with the Red Heavenly Armor's flame streams bursting out wildly, continually dodging Shi Fa's Tathagata Heart Seal attacks.

'You can't kill me, but if I hit you just once, you're dead.'

Shi Fa kept releasing the Dharma Seals, feeling confident about controlling the situation.

Shi Fa coldly shouted, "Zhou Bai, how long can you dodge? This game... I've won."

...

"Shi Fa is this strong?" Xiang Haocu exclaimed in surprise as he watched the battle from the players' seats, "This is getting interesting... Could the Tathagata Heart Seal's destructive power really be that strong? To make Zhou Bai start dodging?"

Throughout his journey, Zhou Bai had almost always achieved crushing victories. This was the first time Xiang Haocu had seen him so desperately dodging.

Beside him, Zhao Yue suddenly said in a low voice, "... It's not just the destructive power, Shi Fa's physical strength is also formidable."

Ever since being soundly defeated by Zhou Bai, Zhao Yue had been listless, even appearing dazed and lost despite coming to Daluo Heaven Dao Discussion today.

But now, seeing Shi Fa actually gaining the upper hand, Zhao Yue began to watch the battle in the Daluo Heaven space-time attentively.

Xiang Haocu turned to Zhao Yue and heard her continue, "Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit and physical strength are comparable to a ninth-level expert. Even without using any supreme techniques, he's not someone ordinary people can contend with."

Zhao Yue: "You see, Zhou Bai can break through the Dragon Elephant Dharma Seal's defenses and strike Shi Fa's body, but still, it doesn't affect Shi Fa. This shows how strong Shi Fa's body is."

Xiang Haocu nodded, "From the start, Shi Fa was drawn into close combat by Zhou Bai, and despite taking a series of hits, he wasn't affected. That's proof of his physical resilience. Now Zhou Bai is really in a tight spot..." He clenched his fist tightly, "He can win! Shi Fa might really be able to win."

Zhao Yue watched Zhou Bai on the projection, a trace of disappointment passing through her eyes, as she thought, 'All that talk... and you can't even make it to the end in Daluo Heaven Dao Discussion?'

Suddenly, the battle projection changed, and it seemed Shi Fa's attacks finally hit Zhou Bai.

Zhao Yue sighed, "It's over..."

...

"I'm so annoyed." Zhou Bai dodged Shi Fa's Tathagata Heart Seals while repeatedly striking the Dragon Elephant Kasaya, his irritation growing inside.
