Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 585 - 584 Thunder Light

"I am truly too powerful."

Unable to test the limit of Tang Ruhai, Zhou Bai simply began testing the range of Tang Ruhai.

Even now, the ground within a meter of his feet was only torn up several layers, much better compared to the sky-revolving, earth-overturning scene around him.

However, if this range was uncontrollable, wouldn't it mean that any enemy entering within a meter around him would be protected by Tang Ruhai?

Following the instructions on the star chart, Zhou Bai tried to control the range of Tang Ruhai, and with the change of his thoughts, there seemed to be faint flashes of electricity in the air.

Zhou Bai stepped down, and with a booming explosion, the ground under his feet burst inch by inch, turning into a pile of fragments.

"Indeed, it can be controlled." Zhou Bai then concentrated his efforts, keeping the range of Tang Ruhai on himself, and then tried to actively change this range within a meter around his body.

After practicing the range control of Tang Ruhai for over an hour, Zhou Bai felt he could flexibly control the range of Tang Ruhai.

He usually kept the range of Tang Ruhai on his own body and clothes; if he wore armor, he would extend the range to his armor, and if he held a weapon, he could also extend the range to the weapon.

Naturally, he could also extend this protective range to people around him.

"It turns out I've gained the ability to protect others as well."

After doing all this, Zhou Bai didn't plan to rest, as he had collected so much destiny today and still needed to absorb destiny to enhance his Primordial Spirit.

"But practicing alone is too slow."

Thinking it over, Zhou Bai went and knocked on Zheng Wentian's door, "Old Zheng, stop sleeping, come out and practice!"

Zheng Wentian opened the door, looking at the spirited Zhou Bai, puzzled, "Practice now?" He thought to himself, "Isn't it useless to cram at the last minute?"

Zhou Bai, however, with a move of his Primordial Spirit, dragged Zheng Wentian out, "Let's go, let's go, the path of cultivation is like water eroding stone, we cannot stop even for a day."

Zheng Wentian, seeing Zhou Bai seem somewhat overly excited, thought to himself, "Could he be nervous? I've never seen this guy nervous before."

But then, thinking about the intensity of the Daluo Heaven debates, the fierce battles among countless geniuses and strong competitors, Zheng Wentian couldn't help nodding, "Given such a big competition, it's normal to be nervous… I'll keep him company, otherwise if he gets killed, who will I go to for points in the future?"

So the next night, Zhou Bai absorbed destiny, enhancing the upper limit of his Primordial Spirit, then used the Dharma Saint Relics for deep breathing exercises to quickly increase his Primordial Spirit.

After a night, Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit had sharply increased to 7721.

Looking at his assistant panel's Primordial Spirit value, Zhou Bai thought to himself, "With this, before the Daluo Heaven debates end, my Primordial Spirit might break through to 8500, reaching the level of the eighth realm and even potentially matching the ninth realm in power?"

Excitedly thinking, after daybreak, Zhou Bai followed the crowd back to the arena, welcoming the second day of the top ten competition.

Amidst the viewing of billions and the noisy clamor of tens of thousands of people, the first battle began, Zhou Bai against Xiang Haocu.

Seeing Zhou Bai re-enter the arena, the atmosphere among over a hundred thousand people in the spectator seats heated up even more, and the heartstrings of over a billion human viewers were also tightly strung.

If one were to say that Zhou Bai, during his first and second appearances, was an average practitioner in the eyes of the audience, with hollow fame and unable to compare with the top geniuses of Central City, then at this moment, as he made his appearance once again, leveraging his successive victories, he had become the favorite to win this competition in the hearts of the audience, holding immense weight.

Compared to him, Zhou Bai's opponent Xiang Haocu seemed to have less momentum.

When Xiang Haocu entered the arena, he already sensed the concern and skepticism in the tens of thousands of gazes that met him.

"Heh, everyone's so skeptical of me, huh?"

Thus, as Xiang Haocu walked, he had already drawn his Thunder Blade.

As he performed this action of drawing his blade, the sky suddenly exploded with a loud bang, and thunderbolts tore through the atmosphere. Purple lightning moved through the sky like sinuous snakes, frantically darting around.

Xiang Haocu's body suddenly straightened, the bones in his body cracking loudly, resembling yet another series of muffled thunders exploding within him.

With just this action of drawing his blade and straightening his back, Xiang Haocu's momentum instantly soared to its peak.

Among the spectators, although their cultivation levels varied and the average was not high, they all could feel the sudden change in Xiang Haocu's momentum, even sensing the electric currents brushing through the air around, causing their skin to tingle.

And amongst the competitors, each with keen eyes, watching Xiang Haocu's movements and momentum, feeling the sudden surge in the spiritual energy in the air, they immediately understood how much Xiang Haocu had held back when he fought with Shi Fa, and that his true strength far surpassed everyone's expectations.

However, Xiang Haocu had clearly decided that he would not hold back against Zhou Bai; after his momentum had peaked, he stomped fiercely, let out a roar, and charged towards the space-time of Daluo Heaven.

As he roared, his mouth aglow with purple lightning, his eyes sparkling intensely, were completely swallowed by the purple light.

His shirt burst open amidst a flash of lightning, revealing mysterious patterns on his body made up of countless purple runes.

Below his skin, traces of purple qi emerged, gradually swelling like waves of purple lightning continuously roving through his body, his hair violently rising, each strand shimmering with a ghostly electric light. Behind his head, rings of purple lightning formed halos abruptly flashing.

Boom, boom, boom, boom! Nine layers of bursting purple lightning illuminated him as if he was a thunder god from legends.

Shen Hai, the son of the Greedy Wolf True Lord, opened his mouth wide in astonishment and said, "This is the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique, the secret technique of the Sweeping Demon Marshal. Xiang Haocu has actually learned it?"

Upon hearing this, everyone else was also shocked. The Sweeping Demon Marshal was one of the Four Great Marshals of the Lei Department, known as a peak figure in the Heavenly Court. His Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique was known as a non-transmittable secret; aside from himself, no one in the entire Heavenly Court had learned it.

But now, Xiang Haocu, a celestial divine being, had actually mastered it? How did he achieve this? What kind of power would a mortal wield using the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique?

Everyone's eyes were glued to the projection in the arena, the scales of victory seemed to have shifted at this moment; who would win and who would lose, the other eight contenders no longer had any answers.

As the two entered the space-time of Daluo Heaven together, Xiang Haocu did not rush to make a move. Under the illumination of the thunder light, he appeared like a thunder god descending from the nine heavens, looking down on Zhou Bai from high above and slowly said, "Although I had heard of your name a long time ago, I never expected that among the Four Great Taoist Schools, there could be a figure like you."

Zhou Bai smirked, knowing that these celestial beings, one and all, were not good; they would go easy when sparring with each other, but they would fight fiercely when it came to him.

Suddenly, Xiang Haocu transmitted a message, "Zhou Bai, I know you want to win first place in this Daluo Heaven's Dao Conference, but this is not something you can meddle with. Your current strength is strong among your peers, but when facing those true horrors, you are still far too weak."

As Xiang Haocu spoke, he casually flicked his Thunder Blade, and terrifying arcs of lightning centered around the blade, jumped and scattered in all directions.

"You have great potential, it would be too wasteful for you to die in this Dao Conference."

"Losing to me now is at least better than falling later, with no threat to your life."
