Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 1044 - 1042: Decision
Zhou Bai swiftly reclaimed Zuo Dao's body and, together with Christina and Zuo Dao, snatched back the Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor worn on the body.
Then, both parties displayed their techniques. Following a fierce exchange, with a sharp tearing sound in the Luotian Realm, a wound opened once again layer by layer at the Dutian Great Spirit Officer's hollow chest position.
Accompanied by violent fluctuations of flesh and blood, streams of black air seemed to want to burst out of the body, drilling several large holes in him.
The Dutian Great Spirit Officer's eyes narrowed. At this moment, due to a fierce clash with Zhou Bai, the Mixed Element Star Constellation Calamity power within him, which he had painstakingly suppressed, started to stir once more.
This was provoked by the eighth calamity power unleashed by Zhou Bai. Internally and externally, the two Mixed Element Star Constellation Calamity forces continuously triggered and rioted against each other, disintegrating the composition of his Divine Body's flesh and blood.
Especially this time, Zhou Bai, Zuo Dao, Christina, the two humans and one cat worked together, combining the power of Seven Mountains and Seven Seas with the Mixed Element Star Constellation Calamity of the eighth calamity. Although Zhou Bai did not have time to use the accumulation of Wild Disaster and the attack multiplier of Wild Words, the power already exceeded the expectations of the Dutian Great Spirit Officer.
At this moment, he felt a wave of weakness in his Divine Body. Even the operation of his Primordial Spirit became somewhat hindered, with the pollution level injected by the Ugly Disaster determination showing signs of agitation.
Only to see the Dutian Great Spirit Officer's hand seal change, as the Creation Dao Skill 'Glazed Jade Body Technique' was boldly initiated.
This Creation Dao Skill is a top-notch Body Refinement technique, capable of directly infusing spiritual energy into the Divine Body, transforming oneself into a kind of Glazed Jade Body.
The transformed Glazed Jade Body has an astonishing strength, able to withstand most ordinary Dao Skills without fear, enduring various flying sword assassinations.
Most Dao Skills performed with a Dao Deficiency degree below 150% can be directly ignored, and those under 170% can absolutely not be lethal.
If Zhou Bai had not executed the Mixed Element Star Constellation Calamity, even if he smashed the Genesis Galaxy Collapse directly onto the Great Spirit Officer's face, he could endure it.
Additionally, because it's transformed through spiritual energy, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer could also regenerate the Divine Body at any time using spiritual energy, having extremely strong recovery power.
But at this moment, even though the Dutian Great Spirit Officer had already performed the 'Glazed Jade Body Technique,' he still could only suppress the calamity power inside and couldn't truly heal the wounds on his body.
"How could the Mixed Element Star Constellation Calamity of the Three Pure Dao Sect be so formidable?"
Recalling Zhou Bai's sword, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer has to admit it's the most ferocious Mixed Element Star Constellation Calamity he had ever seen, more terrifying and threatening than all the heirs of the Three Pure Dao Sect he encountered in history.
'If it were an immortal below a Dao Deficiency degree of 190%, even if not dead, they would absolutely be powerless to fight again. What kind of inheritance did Zhou Bai obtain from the void?'
Thinking of this, the eyes of the Dutian Great Spirit Officer shone with golden patterns. When he looked towards his wounds and that Mixed Element Star Constellation Calamity power clinging like maggots to bones, countless Heavenly Dao mysteries directly unfolded in front of his eyes.
This is precisely the ability 'Five Qi Towards Yuan' he acquired after achieving a Dao Deficiency degree of 180% and attaining Five Qi Merit Position.
After performing Five Qi Towards Yuan, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer could directly comprehend the mysteries of Heavenly Dao while observing all things in heaven and earth.
'Heavenly Dao encompasses all ultimate truths of events; the operation of all things in the world cannot escape Heavenly Dao.'
'As long as one can comprehend Heavenly Dao's mysteries, one can understand all things in the world.'
However, after the distortion of Heavenly Dao, direct connection to Heavenly Dao poses great danger. Even immortals with a Dao Deficiency degree of 190% facing Heavenly Dao have possibilities of madness and distortion.
Therefore, at this moment, even after deploying Five Qi Towards Yuan, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer dared not face Heavenly Dao directly but instead performed Dao Skills to obscure his Primordial Spirit.
Thus, in the eyes of the Dutian Great Spirit Officer, countless profound and unfathomable knowledge directly descended into his knowledge sea from the Heavenly Dao; within just a few seconds, it seemed like countless images, texts, and sounds flashed before his eyes.
But when he came back to his senses, he couldn't entirely recall the content, as if like when comprehending Heavenly Dao before its distortion, deeply mysterious and indescribable.
Before the distortion of Heavenly Dao, all cultivators worldwide, when comprehending Heavenly Dao, were in that inexpressible, indescribable state; one understands if they understand, and cannot easily retell if they don't.
After the distortion of Heavenly Dao, direct comprehending of it will grant crystal-clear, extremely direct knowledge, albeit confronting this twisted knowledge will lead cultivators into madness and distortion.
At this moment, although the Dutian Great Spirit Officer cannot remember the complex principles within nor clearly know what he understood exactly, somehow… he just knew how to expel the Mixed Element Star Constellation Calamity within his body.
Even though he used Dao Skills to obscure his Primordial Spirit, in this era of distorted Heavenly Dao, he dared not stay too long in the state of Five Qi Towards Yuan. In Supreme Heaven, some immortals and gods were distorted by directly facing Heavenly Dao.
Only to see the Dutian Great Spirit Officer's hand seal change, the Mixed Element Star Constellation Calamity inside gradually calmed down, seeming to fall into a dormant state.
'Temporarily suppressed, but to completely remove it, more time is needed.' The Dutian Great Spirit Officer observed the external situation, quietly thinking: 'Zuo Dao's body is unusually strong, and with Zhou Bai's assistance, the difficulty of possession increases significantly…'
'And now, being ambushed and severely injured, the longer I continue fighting, the worse my injuries will get…'
'In the Material World, there are still the unknown whereabouts of Haotian God Emperor, remaining demons, the Thunder Division's Xiang Tiandi, and others…'
The Dutian Great Spirit Officer contemplated for a while, knowing that continuing to fight, even if capturing Zhou Bai, his own life would really be in danger.
And with his own lifespan, divine skills, he felt there was no need to risk life over Zhou Bai, a mere mortal. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
For him to risk sacrificing his endless lifespan, Heavenly Court's divine power, and all his divine skills to deal with a mortal?
He simply couldn't do it; even the slightest threat to life wasn't worth the risk to him.
'After I heal my wounds, capturing him will be as easy as turning a hand. In terms of full power in peak condition, I am still far above him.'
'Even if I fail to capture him in time, once Supreme Heaven fully opens and Heavenly Court descends, he won't cause any waves.'
The Dutian Great Spirit Officer, thinking this, no longer intended to continue entangling with Zhou Bai and coldly snorted, preparing to leave.
"Zhou Bai, with Supreme Heaven about to open, if these hybrid mortals of the Material World voluntarily join Heavenly Court, they can be isolated one by one later and enjoy a peaceful old age."
"But if you all still remain unrepentant and obstinately persist in going about things the wrong way, what awaits you is a catastrophic doom."
Zhou Bai, however, coldly snorted back: "Spirit Officer Wang, tell you and the Heavenly Court behind you that I will personally settle the score of wise humans' blood feud. As for the future of humanity, no matter hybrid or pureblood, I will bear it all; it isn't for you to dictate."
"If you kneel and surrender before I attack Supreme Heaven and abolish your power, you can be locked in a zoo in the future, where, by being cute, you'll have food and drink, for future generations to watch."
"But if you remain brain-dead idiots, pretending to be what you're not, what awaits you is bone ashes mixed with rice, and your family tree ascending to heaven."
