Chapter 614: 612 I Will
Facing the peak armor of the ninth realm, which was extremely good at using the force of an attack against it, combined with Shi Fa's nano protective suit, Zhou Bai's attack had to contend with the weakening effect of two powerful armors, naturally diminishing its effectiveness.
Zhou Bai felt as if countless threads had ensnared his fists, enabling him to exert at most two to three-tenths of his full power against his opponent.
Just then, listening to Shi Fa say, "Zhou Bai, how long can you hide? This round... is my victory."
Contamination level: 85/110
In Zhou Bai's eyes, his Primordial Spirit power seemed to ignite, and as the contamination level continued to rise, so did the damage reduction ability of his contaminated body.
"Shi Fa..."
Boom! His body suddenly came to a halt, propelled by the multiple streams of flames from the Red Heavenly Armor, and amidst the tugging of tremendous forces, he was suspended in midair.
"Do you think I dodged your attack... because I can't block it?"
And as Zhou Bai stopped, Shi Fa's eyes lit up instantly, "What's going on? Why did he stop all of a sudden?"
Exhausted? Is there a problem with the Red Heavenly Armor? An illusion twisted by the Heavenly Dao? A dark hand from the Four Righteous Gods?
Although unsure why the other had stopped, Shi Fa understood that this was an unprecedented opportunity, so he launched the Tathagata Heart Seal at full force, firing more than ten Plasma Bombs into Zhou Bai's brain in one breath.
Boom!
Shi Fa could see surging flames gushing from Zhou Bai's eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth, and he could almost imagine the other's brain drying up from being steamed.
"It's over."
But the next moment, a look of utter shock, or perhaps terror, appeared on Shi Fa's face.
He saw Zhou Bai twist his neck, humph, and then a surging flame burst forth from his nostrils.
Zhou Bai felt the flames burning in his brain for a moment, then with a grin, he said, "Shi Fa... is this your trump card? Weak! You're too weak!"
Shi Fa watched Zhou Bai burning fiercely, unable to imagine what kind of Cultivation Technique or what kind of Dao could make a brain so defensively powerful.
In fact, Zhou Bai's defense, apart from his sturdy flesh and upright spirit, primarily relied on Tang Ruhai and his contaminated body.
But these two protective techniques had little relation to the body part concerned, so his defensive power was more or less the same all over.
Whether it was his brain or his fist, it made little difference.
The next moment, Zhou Bai raised his right hand high, and the sword light flickered violently.
Genesis Star River Annihilation!
Brilliant starlight spread from Zhou Bai's body, and the space-time of Daluo Heaven seemed to be enveloped in an immeasurable vast expanse of starry sky.
A terrifying fluctuation transmitted from Zhou Bai's hand, and Shi Fa felt a succession of dread.
The Tathagata Heart Seal struck out again and again in a frenzy, Zhou Bai's entire head burning intensely. Flames accompanied by his breathing and blinking, shooting out over and over.
Zhou Bai kept shaking his head, "Weak! Weak! Weak! Your trump card is too weak."
Shi Fa watched the scene in horror, refusing to believe that someone could take such attacks to the brain in succession and still not die.
"What kind of monster are you?"
Zhou Bai looked into his eyes and said with a grin, "That's right... reptile... fear me, dread me, worship me. That is what someone like you should be doing."
Watching Shi Fa's terrified expression, Zhou Bai laughed wildly as his fist, like a piercing sword, carrying billions of stars that were born and extinguished, smashed fiercely into the dragon-elephant Kasaya before him!
The billions of starlights suddenly extinguished, and the space-time of Daluo Heaven seemed to plunge into utter darkness.
But in that pitch darkness, a point of firelight suddenly ignited and then exploded, as if a sun had risen, bringing endless light and heat.
The dragon-elephant Kasaya trembled violently, and Shi Fa desperately channeled his Primordial Spirit power into the Kasaya, roaring in his heart, "Block it! Block it for me!"
Sounds of metal tearing apart rang out continuously, with layer upon layer of cracks appearing on the dragon-elephant Kasaya.
But the light and heat in front of him were also continuously retracting.
Shi Fa's heart lifted with excitement, "It's blocked!"
But the next moment, Zhou Bai once again dashed his hopes, pointing a finger and the blinding starlight shone again.
Genesis Star River Annihilation!
Boom!
Shi Fa's dragon-elephant Kasaya could no longer withstand the barrage of the Genesis Star River Annihilation, shattering inch by inch, pulverized into dust under the endless light and heat.
Heat, light explosions, and shockwaves penetrated the kasaya and violently struck Shi Fa's body but were barely blocked by his nanosuit.
Then, within this fiery blaze, a palm reached out and clutched Shi Fa's throat.
Next, a handsome face completely enveloped in flames pushed through and got right up in Shi Fa's face.
Ah! Roaring, howling screams came from Shi Fa's mouth, like a wild beast on the brink of death, he unleashed his last bit of strength.
The golden light of the Tathagata Heart Seal flashed continuously, and various incendiary rounds and plasma bombs were fired into Zhou Bai's head like a fountain.
But even after Shi Fa had exhausted all his medicinal pills in one breath, Zhou Bai only slightly furrowed his brow, allowing flames and plasma to burrow and scurry across his body like affectionate pets.
Zhou Bai nonchalantly used laziness points to heal the overflow contamination from the collapse of the starry sky, returning it to the just prior level of 85/110.
Then Zhou Bai looked at Shi Fa and coldly said, "Are you done?"
Seeing fire burst forth from the opponent's mouth, watching the high-temperature plasma fiercely burning around Zhou Bai's eyeballs, those eyes seemed to emit sharp sparks like stars within the exploding flames.
Shi Fa's heart gradually sank, and he was utterly in despair.
Said Shi Fa bitterly, "In this Daluo Heaven's discourse on the Dao, no one can kill you. Humanity is finished, billions of people will because of you..."
Smack! Zhou Bai slapped Shi Fa across the face, holding the other's mouth, with plasma in his eyes burning fiercely, "Reptile, don't try to fathom me with your narrow-minded thoughts."
Having said that, he punched Shi Fa hard on the head, followed by another punch, the second punch.
With each blow Zhou Bai delivered, Shi Fa's nanosuit could not withstand the pressure, unleashing the accumulated heat energy, and high-energy beams shot directly at Zhou Bai's face, which he casually blocked.
Shi Fa gritted his teeth and mustered his Primordial Spirit energy, trying to launch another attack: "What I said is the truth! Can you change the minds of everyone in the world? Everyone will want to kill you!"
Zhou Bai laughed wildly, "Then let the whole world come! Who among you can kill me!"
Contamination level: 90/110
Zhou Bai then threw several more punches, and the nanosuit began to crack.
Facing this hopeless situation, Shi Fa, with a defeated look on his face, gazed at Zhou Bai, "Even if you can fight against the whole world, you can't fight against Heavenly Dao."
Zhou Bai sneered and hammered down another punch, and Shi Fa's nanosuit shattered explosively, breaking completely clean, Zhou Bai truly grasped his flesh and blood.
Zhou Bai spoke coldly, "No matter how strong Heavenly Dao is, it can't change my mind. You can't do it! Neither can the people of the world! Neither immortals nor gods!"
When Shi Fa was about to attack again, his face gradually revealed a hint of madness, and whispers suddenly echoed in his ears.
Zhou Bai was slightly startled; he saw countless shadows flicker behind Shi Fa, which were the appearances of numerous men, women, elderly, and children.
'Is this the power of wishes? Has it backfired?'
Suddenly, he saw Kong Chan's figure flash among the myriad shadows.
While Zhou Bai wondered if he had seen it wrong, the shadow of Kong Chan increased in number, gradually surrounding Shiv Fa's entire body, dragging it along.
Shi Fa's face showed shock, "Is it you? You actually merged voluntarily with the wishes I absorbed?" He said angrily, "So that's it... Do you want to help Zhou Bai?"
Kong Chan and Shi Fa's cultivation techniques and Dao were passed down in the same lineage; both had also practiced Leiyin Temple's technique for gathering the power of wishes.
When Shi Fa defeated Kong Chan, he absorbed the latter's power of wishes.
He hadn't expected that Kong Chan would merge with it after defeat, quietly waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
Shi Fa struggled to accept the backlash of the power of wishes, "Why! Kong Chan! You've seen it too... Zhou Bai's mere existence will only incite chaos and war... Why would you lead the power of wishes to oppose me? Have you gone mad?"
"Do you trust him more than me?"
"I made a deal with Heavenly Demon all for humanity! What do you understand!"
"Because Zhou Bai hasn't done anything yet, we need to stop him before he does! Otherwise, it will be too late!"
Shi Fa's body began to tremble wildly, the backlash of the power of wishes pushed his thoughts towards madness, causing aberrant reactions to manifest on his body.
Zhou Bai looked at Shi Fa's monologue, quickly understood what had transpired, and said to the person in front of him, "Shi Fa, you have long lost. When you were defeated by Kong Chan, you were already beaten by him, both in cultivation and in spirit."
"You have nothing but your talents."
Ah! Amidst the howling, Shi Fa's body convulsed violently, Zhou Bai shook his head, and his final punch penetrated his nanosuit and shattered his skull.
The shadows behind Shi Fa gradually disappeared, Zhou Bai seemed to see Kong Chan smile at him, fading away into the air.
Zhou Bai slowly closed his eyes, felt the restlessness in his heart, the slightly boiling contamination level, and said with an icy voice, "No one can change my will, not even the Nine Calamities of Heaven and Man."
Contamination level: 88/110
