Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 379 - 378 The Sword that Carries One’s Wishes

On the platform, Xu Dela was called over by the Mystical Lady and stood in front of Zhou Bai and the Mystical Lady.

He saw the Mystical Lady say to Xu Dela, "Zhou Bai wants to spar with you to test the abilities of his Primordial Spirit Emergence. Do you understand?"

After speaking, she released control of Xu Dela's one snake head, and he was seen nodding incessantly: "Understood, understood."

Then the Mystical Lady continued, "Zhou Bai is very important; you can't hurt him, got it?"

"Understood."

The Mystical Lady said, "Don't use heavy weapons, don't use dangerous ones, don't let Zhou Bai get hurt, keep the pace not too tight, don't use strength greater than Zhou Bai's, and also no self-destruction, no suicidal attacks..."

Xu Dela nodded helplessly, "I got it, I know."

Zhou Bai hurriedly interjected, "That's enough, that's enough. If you keep going like this, he'll be too scared to make a move on me."

The Mystical Lady nodded, "Then all is said, you may begin." She looked at Zhou Bai with concern, "Be careful. If there's a problem, call for a stop immediately. Don't force yourself."

Zhou Bai felt a bit overwhelmed by the Mystical Lady's care, as she seemed to trust and care about him very deeply ever since he confronted the Heavenly Demon King and also exhibited the ability of Primordial Spirit Emergence, which Zhou Bai found a bit too much."

As Zhou Bai stepped into the arena, the Mystical Lady glanced at Xu Dela to one side and used the Heavenly Demon's communication network to say, "Make sure to act as a punching bag, fight back less, don't win, got it?"

Xu Dela felt indignant inside, but considering the Mystical Lady's importance in front of the Heavenly Demon King, he could only endure it internally: 'I really want to beat this kid Zhou Bai to death.'

Then, they saw Zhou Bai abandon his physical body and directly proceed with Primordial Spirit Emergence. Observing Xu Dela standing still in the distance, with just a thought, the surrounding spirit machines immediately became rampant.

Zhou Bai felt that after the Primordial Spirit Emergence, without the constraints of the physical body and the rune vaccine, invoking the spirit machines became even more swift and fluent. He didn't even need to make hand seals anymore to enhance the sensitivity of the spirit machines.

With just a thought, a lightning bolt was generated in front of him and struck Xu Dela with a loud boom.

'Casting spells almost effortlessly, although the power of this Hand Palm Thunder is too weak, my strongest skill is still swordsmanship.'

Therefore, with a howl from his Primordial Spirit, he had already transferred to the self-tempered metal flying sword beside his body. The sword light flashed spectacularly and already turned into a light stream shooting toward Xu Dela.

Xu Dela snorted, his metallic body collided back and forth with the flying sword, bursting out a series of sparks.

'It feels even more like an extension of my will, but the power hasn't increased by much,' Zhou Bai thought. With a single step of the Primordial Spirit, he soared into the sword in a flash.

'Let's try imbuing the flying sword with the Primordial Spirit.'

To incorporate the Primordial Spirit into the flying sword was the authentic method of wielding a flying sword, enabling it to perform assassinations over hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. Moreover, the originally somewhat fragile Primordial Spirit, once protected by the flying sword, experienced a significant increase in defensive power.

However, ever since the Heavenly Dao warping, suppose one resorted to Primordial Spirit Emergence, one's operation would become distorted; thus, the flying sword had turned into the method of Primordial Spirit Refining.

Now that Zhou Bai had infused the flying sword, he instantly felt as if he had become a sword himself. The perception of the surroundings became quite odd. He was a bit uncomfortable at first, but after getting used to it, he was able to control the flying sword to thrust back and forth, drawing arcs in midair and continuously colliding with Xu Dela's metallic body, creating bursts of electrical sparks.

But this was just the beginning. As Zhou Bai grew more familiar with operating the sword with his Primordial Spirit inside, the power of the self-tempered metal flying sword increased dramatically. With Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit personally stationed in the flying sword, its destructive power and speed had more than doubled from before.

The mysterious woman standing beside him had data flickering in her eyes as she was detecting various abilities data of Zhou Bai, "The speed of the flying sword has already broken through three times the speed of sound... four times... five times... so fast."

In the sound of whooshing, the speed of the Zai Zi Geng Jin flying sword continuously surged, accompanied by the air being sliced by the flying sword, forming air shockwaves that slashed across the ground leaving behind countless sword marks.

And this was merely the impact of the flying sword cutting through the air.

The next moment, there was the sound of a swift slash and one of Xu Dela's metallic snake heads was severed by a sword, dropping to the ground.

'Very good.' While controlling the flying sword in combat, Zhou Bai also activated the Catastrophe Domain. The next moment saw huge surges of Guihai Heisha blasting out from beneath Xu Dela, soon streams of white Qi rushed towards Zhou Bai and flowed into his sea of consciousness.

Xu Dela let out an enraged roar, his snake mouth opened wide, and beams of electromagnetic waves exploded towards Zhou Bai...

As Zhou Bai tested, except for martial arts that required a physical body to execute, he could use virtually all other Daoist arts and the abilities of divine diagrams while his Primordial Spirit was out of body.

Among them, the most enhanced in power was the art of flying swords.

Then there was the increased resistance to being hit that the Primordial Spirit gained. After the Primordial Spirit Emergence, ordinary cuts and thrusts from knives and swords no longer had any effect on him, but high temperatures, low temperatures, along with electromagnetic waves, radiation, and other attacks that Xu Dela executed, could still harm the Primordial Spirit.

This bout of real combat allowed Zhou Bai to roughly understand the combat strength he possessed after his Primordial Spirit had emerged.

'The combat distance, speed, and destructive power of the flying sword have all improved significantly.'

'However, in terms of absolute power, because I only have the power of the Primordial Spirit and lack the support of the physical body, it has actually decreased.'

'But being able to fight and flee, it's safer than fighting with the body.'

On the other side, the mysterious woman had been watching Zhou Bai's real combat from beginning to end, collecting data with a smile while continuing her experiments through a remote network.

In her line of sight, on one side was the silhouette of Zhou Bai fighting Xu Dela, on the other, several cultivators were trapped in an environment of specific darkness and severe contamination of spiritual machinery, lying on the ground crawling with their bellies, as their limbs gradually degenerated in appearance.

One of the cultivators had eyes wide open, showing a look of madness, continuously slamming his head against the ground, "Kill me! Kill me now!"

The mysterious woman: 'In about five more days, they should fully transform into Human-faced Snakes, I wonder if this time a less crazy mutant will be born.'

The mysterious woman looked towards Zhou Bai who had finished the combat practice and smiled, "It's over? After your Primordial Spirit Emerged, your mobility has indeed increased drastically, I'm afraid that even a Level 7, or even a Level 8 Heavenly Demon, wouldn't necessarily be able to catch up with you. I should use the Heavenly Demon's equipment to make you some weapons suitable for after your Primordial Spirit Emerges."

"That's great." Zhou Bai looked at the fate energy in his sea of consciousness and nodded in satisfaction, talking with the mysterious woman as they walked along.

Xu Dela, who was just about to follow them off the platform, suddenly felt his body stiffen and he stopped in his tracks, as the mysterious woman's voice came over the communication network: "Don't follow us, you're too obtrusive."

Xu Dela: '???' Rage roared within him, 'You don't want me to follow that's fine... but why the hell are you shutting me down??!! This crazy woman!'

Zhou Bai and the mysterious woman continued to talk as they walked, "Heavenly Demon... what exactly is it? Won't they be unfavorable to us mutants?"

The mysterious woman laughed, "Heavenly Demon is a kind of informational life form; everything in the Material World is merely a shell for them. If one breaks, they can just replace it, that's the secret behind the Heavenly Demons' ability to resurrect infinitely.

As for their attitude towards mutants... you know about the Heavenly Demons' impulse to kill and erase, right? To sum it up in one sentence, that would be to eliminate every intelligent life form on Earth besides the Heavenly Demons themselves."

"In fact, in the eyes of most low-level Heavenly Demons, there's no difference between us and humans, we all deserve to die."
