Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 1036 - 1034: Catastrophe and Plunder

Mars, also known to deities as Yinghuo Star.

A world covered with dunes and pebbles on its surface.

The planet's atmosphere is primarily composed of carbon dioxide, thin and cold.

Dust floats in the atmosphere, and sandstorms rise up from time to time.

In this desolate world unfit for life, a figure descends from the sky, landing gently on the highest peak of Yinghuo Star, the Olympus Mountain, towering at 21,000 meters.

A majestic man clad in azure robes and wearing a tall crown overlooks Yinghuo Star from the mountain's summit, his eyes cold, as if everything under heaven should bow at his feet, accepting his rule.

This man is none other than the Haotian God Emperor's Tribulation Body left in the Material World.

The Taihao Twelve True Tribulations can condense a Tribulation Body using the powers of various catastrophes in the world, and as long as calamities persist, the Tribulation Body is immortal and inexhaustible in power.

Each Tribulation Body can bring forth an apocalyptic disaster, symbolizing the God Emperor's dominion over all living beings, and the imposing decree of divine punishment.

The power of this Daoist technique is immense, while its cultivation complexity and restrictions are exceptionally high. To even begin, one's Dao transformation degree must exceed 180%, having achieved the Five Qi profession status, mastered the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao, and possess divine authority with upright deity powers.

To achieve anything significant in this Daoist practice, one must become the God Emperor of the Heavenly Court, possessing divine authority after a Dao transformation degree of 180%.

Thus, only successive Haotian God Emperors in the Heavenly Court can truly master these Taihao Twelve True Tribulations.

However, after the distortion of the Heavenly Dao, the Taihao Twelve True Tribulations of the Haotian God Emperor had also greatly diminished in power. In recent years, he remeasured the Heavenly Dao and ultimately created the Taiwei Nine Celestial Algorithm to restore a part of the power of the Taihao Twelve True Tribulations.

Soon after the Haotian God Emperor landed on Yinghuo Star with the Tribulation Body, amidst explosive sounds, countless Celestial Demons appeared in mid-air, surrounding the Haotian God Emperor from all directions.

On the ground, the mountains rose and fell, as countless Celestial Demons emerged directly from beneath the ground.

At this moment, it seemed that Celestial Demons were emerging from every corner of the world.

The Haotian God Emperor wasn't surprised at all; considering Celestial Demons had been operating on Yinghuo Star for so many years, with their production capacity and technology, he wouldn't be surprised even if they hollowed out the entire planet.

The voice of Celestial Demon King 'Ji' came from the air: "Haotian God Emperor! Considering the current situation of the Heavenly Court, do you still want to go to war with us?"

The Haotian God Emperor said coldly: "War? Like insects..."

In the next moment, a golden light rose up from behind the Haotian God Emperor, and a huge golden gate slowly unfolded, expanding to over thirty meters tall, then unleashing a world-shattering heat.

Haotian God Emperor: 'This should be just enough.'

Behind this gate lies a world filled with explosions and fire... a star.

At this moment, at the center of the solar system, the star that nurtures all life in this system is constantly erupting with world-ending energy, emitting temperatures ranging from tens of thousands to millions, transforming millions of tons into energy.

The mere flames dancing on its surface could turn a hundred, a thousand Earths into hell.

At this very moment, another golden gate opened within this massive source of power in the star system, releasing streams of scorching plasma swiftly towards the gate, then cascading from the Haotian God Emperor's back.

At this moment, the sun descended upon Yinghuo Star.

Infinite light and heat poured down from 21,000 meters high, rushing over the entire planet.

From the perspective of space, one would see a dazzling beam of light soaring, then spreading across the entire planet.

The atmosphere boiled, and the dunes, valleys, and rock layers on the land crystallized under the sun's radiance, while countless Celestial Demons turned directly into scrap iron...

Celestial Demon King 'Ji' exclaimed in shock: "Haotian God Emperor... is he intending to turn the whole of Mars into glass?"

Taihao Twelve True Tribulations - Great Sun Scorching Sun Tribulation.

...

In Qian Wangsun's lab, he held the communicator Zhou Bai gave him, his eyes tightly shut, veins throbbing on his forehead, as if enduring extraordinary pain.

After a long while, he finally opened his eyes slowly, a look of realization flashing in his gaze.

He opened the communicator, speaking towards Zhou Bai's side: "Zhou Bai, you can't go up there directly."

Zhou Bai's voice came through: "Why?"

Qian Wangsun: "The one attacking East China City this time is an upright deity from Supreme Heaven..."

Zhou Bai: "Isn't it... you even know about Supreme Heaven?"

Qian Wangsun: "Haven't you told me that countless times? Don't interrupt, let me explain..."

Zhou Bai hesitated slightly, recalling that he hadn't mentioned this to Qian Wangsun. He thought to himself: "This guy probably knew it precognitively and got mixed up... but that ability is truly unreliable..."

On the other side, Qian Wangsun continued: "The main force attacking East China City this time is an upright deity from Supreme Heaven, called Dutian Great Spirit Officer, an upright deity with a Dao transformation degree of 190%. Outside of Supreme Heaven, probably only Supreme Heavenly Venerate and Haotian God Emperor surpass him in strength, not even you."

"With your current strength, you can't defeat him with conventional means, so if you fight him, you're going to resort to every trick and deceit."

At this point, Qian Wangsun couldn't help but curse: "Damn, you're truly filthy, clearly weaker than Dutian Great Spirit Officer, yet you still might have a chance to mess him up."

Zhou Bai: "Then what's there to fear, let's take him down!"

Qian Wangsun: "You might have the chance to take him down, but you can't protect East China City. If you both fight to the death, all three billion people in East China City will perish, and you'll be in great danger too."

"So you need to change your approach, don't implicate East China City..."

Reacting to what Qian Wangsun said next, Zhou Bai couldn't help but retort: "Damn! Qian Wangsun... how dare you call me filthy?"

Qian Wangsun: "This is called strategy, what's it got to do with filth? Hurry up, go save that idiot Zuo Dao first, this kid used to like pretending, now he can't handle such big matters, and he's about to burst."

...

Zuo Dao gazed into the surrounding darkness, momentarily unresponsive: "Is this... a dreamscape?"

Dutian Great Spirit Officer's voice sounded: "This is the resonance of thoughts, the collision of consciousness. With your mortal realm level, it's impossible to beat me in this regard. It's only a matter of time before I seize your physical body."

Zuo Dao gritted his teeth, remaining silent, striving to maintain his inner calm, continuously connecting with and stimulating his body, trying hard not to let Dutian Great Spirit Officer suppress his consciousness and take over his body.

Dutian Great Spirit Officer chuckled: "What a perfect body, just right for refining into my Externalized Body..."
