Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 588 - 587 No Damage

The intricate structure indicated a slightly lesser strength; the crystals protecting the eyes weren't at the level of Blood Talisman Immortal Steel, indeed they were one of the most vulnerable parts of the Red Heavenly Armor, typically fiercely protected by the user.

But now, facing Xiang Haocu's attack aimed precisely at this critical point, Zhou Bai made no move to dodge or defend; instead, he actively moved forward, directly hitting the knife tip wrapped in layers of electric plasma with the crystals of his eye area.

Boom!

The thunder knife slightly bent for a moment, then rebounded, thrusting hundreds of meters backward.

Xiang Haocu, shock written all over his face, watched Zhou Bai from afar. The Red Heavenly Armor's crystals at the eye area slightly shattered, extending into fine cracks…

But…

Zhou Bai touched the red crystal of the Red Heavenly Armor over his eyes, his face filled with disappointment, "Is that all? Xiang Haocu, is this your limit?"

Zhou Bai sighed, "Disappointing! Too disappointing! Why have I been in the Daluo Heaven debates so long and haven't found a single opponent who can injure me?"

Xiang Haocu took a step back, his face somewhat dazed as he watched Zhou Bai, seemingly unable to accept what had just happened, "How could this be…" His right hand trembled, almost unable to hold the thunder knife.

Although the thunder knife did slightly crack the eye area crystals of the Red Heavenly Armor, it was virtually meaningless in actual combat.

Meanwhile, inside Zhou Bai's mind, Christina excitedly stood up, "This is it! This is the expression, surprised with tension, tension with despair, despair with shock, shock with disbelief, like waking up one morning and still suspecting you're in a dream!"

"This is the expression I, Christina, love to see the most!"

"Ha ha ha ha, tremble! Fear! Despair before my overwhelming strength!"

Elsa seriously said, "Sister Tina, your grasp of this expression is truly profound. If you were to learn this expression, you'd pick it up quickly, feels easier than showing off."

Christina angrily retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to learn how to be a shocked bystander! Did you remember what Zhou Bai just said, I need to study it properly tonight."

"Then you'll be Xiang Haocu, and I'll be Zhou Bai."

Elsa sighed, "Ah… so childish."

Zhou Bai, observing Xiang Haocu's bewildered state, inwardly exclaimed, "Oh no, I might have overplayed it this time."

Christina puzzled, asked, "Can you really overplay it?"

Zhou Bai sighed, "Of course. It's only the second day of the top ten competition. If I show too strong a strength now, won't I be targeted crazily?"

"Moreover, the first rule of showing off is to never reveal all your strength. Although I didn't reveal everything, I revealed too much this time… Trouble."

While Zhou Bai was summarizing his own issues, Xiang Haocu, on the other hand, didn't know how to continue the fight.

He took a deep breath and transmitted a message, "Zhou Bai, are you really… a monster? Anyway, in the Daluo Heaven debates, you certainly deserve to contend for first place. I'll try to help you."

Xiang Haocu, having personally attacked with his thunder knife and knowing well that he couldn't breach Zhou Bai's defenses, knew it wasn't a problem with the Red Heavenly Armor, but rather Zhou Bai himself had an extremely strong protective technique that greatly reduced the destructive power of his knife skills and spells.

He continued to transmit to Zhou Bai, "But this path is destined to be extremely perilous, even if your strength can defeat all the competitors, it's not guaranteed you'll win the first place. Be careful on your own."

After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhou Bai's reply; he sheathed his Thunder Blade, and the surrounding purple lightning gradually dissipated into the air. Xiang Haocu's entire demeanor slowly returned to normal.

"I surrender, I surrender."

Watching Xiang Haocu's retreating figure, Zhou Bai pondered the words the other had spoken: "This Xiang Haocu, isn't he an Immortal? Or does he already know much of Heaven's true nature and thus plans to help me?"

"Daluo Heaven's debate on the Dao is indeed not so simple. If it continues, it seems I will face the Immortals' interference."

"I need to become stronger, even stronger."

Christina suggested, "Didn't that woman yesterday have blue Qi Luck, favored by Heaven's will? She must be no ordinary person. Why not use her again to enhance our strength?"

Zhou Bai asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Christina said, "Drain her Primordial Spirit's armor. It might be very powerful."

Zhou Bai nodded, thinking more and more: "That makes sense. A person favored by Heaven's will is definitely extraordinary. Her Primordial Spirit's armor might indeed be very useful to me."

And with the conclusion of Zhou Bai and Xiang Haocu's battle, the whole venue erupted with shouts one after another, and countless spectators felt incredulous at the course of the battle.

"How powerful is the Red Heavenly Armor exactly?"

"He blocked Xiang Haocu's Thunder Blade with his eyes alone! The Red Heavenly Armor is too amazing!"

"He is simply the archdemon of this Daluo Heaven's debate on the Dao! As long as he wears the Red Heavenly Armor, who else can defeat him?"

In the contestant's seats, Wen He, Shen Hai, and Zhao Yue all felt a surge of shock at Zhou Bai's performance.

Wen He exclaimed, "How can this be? How could the Red Heavenly Armor block both the Thunder Blade and the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique? That's impossible!"

Shen Hai commented, "It's Zhou Bai's Daoist tactics. Zhou Bai must have mastered a kind of Daoist tactic to enhance the Red Heavenly Armor, or some kind of protective Daoist tactic that can elevate the Red Heavenly Armor's defensive power to the pinnacle among armors, no... perhaps even stronger, to the level of those legendary armors."

Shi Fa currently wore the Dragon Elephant Kasaya, and Jue Ji wielded the Bright Sun Sword Armor, both among the pinnacle armors of the ninth realm, using extreme materials and crafting techniques accessible to mortals, truly the peak of armors.

But just as there are weapons in the ninth realm like the emperor's sword that exist outside the standard specifications, above the pinnacle armors of the ninth realm, there are various legendary armors created by historical chances and great opportunities.

Such armors are either lost or destroyed due to their immense power and hadn't truly been seen before the public in over a thousand years, with only countless rumors still circulating about them.

Zhao Yue deeply observed Zhou Bai: "As long as he wears this Red Heavenly Armor, I fear I also couldn't break through his armor... Either figure out a way to strip him of his armor, or attack his heart..." With this thought, a sly smile spread across Zhao Yue's face: "If it's a battle of wits, I might even have an advantage."

At this moment, to Zhao Yue, Zhou Bai had become the most formidable opponent and the greatest threat in this Daluo Heaven's debate on the Dao.

On the other side, Shi Fa sighed, his aura seemingly growing even deeper: "Alas...a formidable barrier."

Jue Ji chuckled coldly, fingering his Absolute Silence Sword, his eyes sparkling with a bloodthirsty and belligerent glint, seemingly eager to battle Zhou Bai to see whether the other's armor was harder or his flying sword sharper.

On another part of the contestants' seating, Zheng Wentian cheered, "Damn, the Red Heavenly Armor is really that amazing? The elders have really outdone themselves."

Beside him, Ying Hui and Yun Chonghe exchanged looks, clearly aware that just the Red Heavenly Armor alone couldn't achieve what was happening right now.

On the high platform, the Immortal Ming Yue watched Zhou Bai's performance and frowned, "Tsk...this Zhou Bai is becoming a bit bothersome."
