Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 578 - 577 Testing

Hearing what Christina had said, Zhou Bai nodded in deep agreement, "Clearly a branded item, I'll borrow it later to play around."

"But this Tu Tianmo is quite cunning, I must crush him meticulously."

Suddenly, Zhou Bai's figure flashed, sprouting hundreds of meters long trails of flame from his back, his entire form as fast as a streak of red lightning. Flying at high speeds, he brought forth gusts of wind, circling around Tu Tianmo at a position hundreds of meters away with ultra-high-speed movements.

Witnessing the astonishing speed that Zhou Bai exhibited after donning the Red Heavenly Armor, Tu Tianmo's nerves instantly tensed to the limit. His eyes, wrapped in the visor's crystal of the Divine Demon Qilin Armor, were activated by the Array inscribed on them, which continually identified Zhou Bai's quick-witted changes, thermal energy shifts, and projected his movement trajectory.

"Good, with the enhancement of the Divine Demon Qilin Armor, I can basically see his movement trajectory clearly." Tu Tianmo, observing the opponent's speed, felt assured, "With such speed, I have an eighty percent certainty that even if I strike with all my might, I won't be able to hit him."

"After all, the strong point of the Divine Demon Qilin Armor is not speed, whereas the armor Zhou Bai is currently wearing clearly excels in high-speed movement."

"My greatest strength lies in self-awareness. Facing an opponent like Zhou Bai, I have my own method of combat. Now that I understand the gap in speed, there's no need for further probing."

With that thought, Tu Tianmo clasped his hands in a seal, his internal qi and blood swelling wildly, a strange blood spreading from his Taiyin Roulette, mixing with the medicinal fluid in the armor, and directly infused throughout his body.

Roar!

With a roar to the sky, Tu Tianmo's body swelled, growing to ten meters tall in an instant. Two horns sprouted on his head, his feet transformed into hooves, sharp claws stretched from his hands, and layers of dark scales covered his body, gradually merging and growing with the armor...

This was the Black Jade Qilin diagram that Tu Tianmo cultivated through the axe route, reaching the seventh realm. He now fully unleashed the refined bloodline power, which mixed with the immense Qilin strength contained within the Divine Demon Qilin Armor.

The armor expanded snugly against his body, transitioning along with Tu Tianmo's form into a half-human, half-Qilin state. The originally snow-white and bright silver armor merged with the scales grown from Tu Tianmo's body, enveloping him in dark-colored Qilin Scale Armor.

The armor's visor also fused with Tu Tianmo's head, as if it had grown together, turning into an actual Qilin head.

Amidst the roar, layers of black light gradually enveloped Tu Tianmo's body.

Zhao Yue, "Qilin Shake Armor?"

Xiang Haocu came over, curious, "What is Qilin Shake Armor?"

Wen He also approached and explained, "Is it the Dao technique crafted from the seventh realm Divine Diagram that Tu Tianmo cultivated?"

"The Black Jade Qilin diagram he cultivated in the seventh realm is by extracting the bloodline of the abnormal Black Jade Qilin. The strongest aspect of this Black Jade Qilin is its exceptionally tough scale armor, said to be invulnerable, unbeatable by peers of the same level."

"The Qilin Shake Armor is a Dao technique that uses one's own body and qi blood to mimic the abilities of the Black Jade Qilin."

Zhao Yue turned to look at Wen He, thinking that since the latter was a disciple of Tianyangzi, the steward of Wanxian Island, and Tu Tianmo was the son of a ghost-slaying god, it was normal for him to know these things.

Wen He continued, "And the strongest part of the Divine Demon Qilin Armor is its defensive power. The 999 Qilin Scale Armor pieces used for the armor, each is inscribed with runes drawn by ancient cultivators."

"With the help of dozens of heavenly treasures housed within the armor, his defensive power was greatly enhanced. It could even rebound the attacker's strikes. It's said that back then, when the true master charged into the demon army, he stood still, letting the demons strike him, and merely with the rebounding force, he killed thousands of them."

"Now, Tu Tianmo has gathered his own divine diagram and the power of the armor. Although he has become somewhat cumbersome and less agile, his protective strength is truly formidable. I'm afraid that among the ten of us, only three or four could possibly break through."

As he spoke, Zhou Bai had already unleashed a dozen Sword Qi strikes at Tu Tianmo during his transformation, but upon hitting the dark-colored armor, they dissipated into nothingness, leaving not a trace.

Seeing that Zhou Bai's Sword Qi had no effect on him, Tu Tianmo felt a great sense of relief in his heart, 'He can't break my defense, his random attacks will only exhaust his physical and Primordial Spirit strength; he might even get injured by the rebound.'

'So what I have to do now is to find every possible way to make him attack me.'

With this thought, Tu Tianmo first descended onto the Nine Heavens Bronze Arena to avoid being thrown off balance in mid-air without a support point.

Then he took a deep breath and laughed heartily, "Too weak, Zhou Bai! Your Sword Qi can't harm me."

"Use all your strength, otherwise you won't even have the qualifications to make me fight back,"

He opened his arms and said with a sneer, "Come on, let's see if you can make me feel even a little, just a little bit of pain."

...

"Damn!" Zheng Wentian, watching the projection below, immediately said, "That guy is taunting, isn't he? This is definitely a taunt!"

Zheng Wentian said excitedly, "When I was cultivating in Central City, I even suggested to the teachers at the academy that all cultivators specializing in Body Refinement, defensive techniques, Arrays, and treasures should learn how to provoke enemies. It's really useful."

Ying Hui gave him a sidelong glance, and Zheng Wentian became somewhat embarrassed.

Yun Chonghe, watching the situation in the Daluo Heaven spacetime, expressed his concern, "Zhou Bai shouldn't be easily provoked, right? He better not fall for it."

...

"Damn." Christina exploded, "This guy dares to provoke us? Zhou Bai, he's showing off right over our heads! If we can tolerate this, I could eat shit!"

"Look at your temper, you really need to change that," Zhou Bai said helplessly. "Don't lose your head in battle, his way of speaking is clearly different from before, he must be intentionally provoking."

Zhou Bai pondered and said, "Intentional provocation, he must be trying to utilize his divine diagram and armor, right? Does he have some special technique?"

However, since the other party had already provoked, Zhou Bai, although cautious in his heart, could not ignore it on the stage; otherwise, wouldn't that undermine his momentum?

Then, Zhou Bai was seen slowing down his pace drastically, stepping through the void, approaching Tu Tianmo step by step. With every step he took, his Primordial Spirit strength surged, unleashing the 7,600 points of Primordial Spirit strength incrementally, compressing the air until it burst layer by layer, thundering like roaring levin.

Every step he took rippled through the atmosphere, as if his footprints turned the air into a liquid state.

Merely by halting and advancing, Zhou Bai displayed his overwhelming presence, capturing the eyes and spirits of countless people present.
