Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 1155 - 1153: The Past

At this moment, whether it was Christina or Elsa present, none could discern or perceive the clash between the two sides.

Neither Zhou Bai nor Li Tai, they both could destroy matter and even energy, altering the laws of the universe with their personal will.

When Christina's vision blurred, the brilliance akin to a supernova explosion had already filled every corner of the Luotian Realm before her.

However, Zhou Bai, who was continuously strengthening in the Nine Calamities of Heaven and Man, still made Li Tai feel an insurmountable gap.

He sensed his body being shattered again in an instant, Zhou Bai's body seemed to have countless stars burning constantly, with endless power radiating along with distortion, aberration, and madness.

Bang! Smashed again with a punch, Li Tai's body reformed once more, but just as he detected the presence of the outside, a sky-reaching, pillar-like fist appeared before him again, blasting towards him and shattering him once more.

Pure strength destroyed material structure, the boiling void power, distortion, and aberration continued to frantically challenge his will.

And this intensity, accompanied by the modification of cosmic laws by the Wrathful and Lunatic Calamities, was still rising without end.

In another collision between the two, Li Tai's body was on the brink of collapse once more, but the Colorless Heavenly Seal operated at its peak.

'I can't keep wasting time like this... His rate of enhancement is practically endless...'

At this moment, Li Tai realized that if he continued to go head-to-head with Zhou Bai like this, even if he exhausted his power completely, it would be impossible to kill Zhou Bai, instead, he might be worn out by the other side till death.

So at this moment, Li Tai dispelled the calamity changes of the Dao Ancestor realm, reverting to his Divine Body form, gathering all his strength into the next strike of the Colorless Heavenly Seal.

In the seething sea of consciousness, the lies left by the Supreme Heavenly Venerate seemed to be gradually dissolving, a trace of enlightenment rising in Li Tai's heart.

"I want to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, I want to be the strongest, I want to understand all the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao..."

The changes in cosmic laws were held in Li Tai's hands, and within this inch of space, the foundation of all material composition was directly broken.

This was the peak strike of Li Tai, containing all his belief, spirit, power, and understanding, pressing forward with indomitable will, leaving no room for caution, nor considering the endurance of the Divine Body.

Only because Li Tai knew that the continuously strengthening Zhou Bai before him was not someone he could hold back against.

And when this strike collided with Zhou Bai's fist, layers upon layers enhanced Zhou Bai's chest exploded into patches of cracks, large masses of blood bursting forth like a blood mist boiling.

But Li Tai on the other side fared even worse, his Divine Body instantly disintegrating more than half, and his Primordial Spirit completely dimming.

Zhou Bai once again threw a punch, the immense power pressing on the other's body, saying word by word: "Li Tai, you've lost."

In the clash of fists and palms, Li Tai's left arm shattered abruptly.

Zhou Bai clenched his fist again, speaking slowly: "Repent for the dead sapient beings."

Li Tai resisted Zhou Bai's overpowering strength with all his might, protesting word by word: "What for?!"

Zhou Bai furiously pressed down on his head: "You've killed tens of billions of people, don't you feel any regret?"

"Regret?" Under the pressure and collision with Zhou Bai's power, Li Tai's body began to shatter into large pieces again.

...

In the third echelon of the Supreme Heaven, within the Jade Purity Heaven.

The Supreme Heavenly Venerate sighed: "Li Tai, the sapient beings you previously sacrificed exceeded this number by far, yet you say such things to me, truly disappointing."

"The downfall of the sapient beings was already inevitable for you all, I was merely trying to leave an ember."

Li Tai looked at the Supreme Heavenly Venerate and said: "If the entire race has already perished, what meaning does being invincible in the world have? I want to become a strong person in accordance with the Heavenly Dao, but I've never wanted to kill everyone."

The Supreme Heavenly Venerate laughed: "Don't pretend anymore, Li Tai, your so-called civilization, race, is nothing but the logistics for you to continue growing stronger. You and I are the same, cultivators willing to sacrifice everything in pursuit of the highest realm."

"Or are you regretting now?"

...

The old man angrily said: "Is becoming an Immortal so important?!"

Li turned his head to look directly at the old man and said: "As long as I can become an Immortal, I can have thousands of years of lifespan, possessing a near-unaging body."

"I will be able to change the celestial phenomena, manipulate the terrain."

"I will be able to roam the universe, comprehend time and space."

"I will comprehend the changes between life and death, understand the mysteries of the stars, and see the place of the Heavenly Dao!"

"With my own strength, I would rival an entire country!"

"I need no family, no nation, I only need myself."

...

On the mountaintop, the young man tried to gather the energy of the morning sun according to the methods in the Dao techniques.

A young girl stood beside him, curiously asking: "Li Tai, why are you working so hard? Aren't your grades already better than everyone else's?"

Li Tai revealed a hint of a smile: "I want to see what the end of this world looks like."

...

Li Tai reached out and grasped Zhou Bai's hands, a dim gaze containing steadfast will.

"Zhou Bai, you've won... but on this path of pursuing the strongest, I will never regret it."

"Even if I do it a thousand times, ten thousand times, let me sacrifice thousands and thousands of lives, I will continue to cultivate! Let those ants all be sacrificed!"

Bang!

In the final clash of fists and palms, in Li Tai's desperate counterattack, his Divine Body shattered with a loud crash, transforming into countless starlight, dissipating into the air.

In the next moment, as Zhou Bai still watched the dissipating Li Tai in his hands, he only felt a blur before his eyes, suddenly finding himself in a familiar palace, directly in front... the Supreme Heavenly Venerate stood with his back to him.

"Zhou Bai, I didn't expect you to have such control over the Nine Calamities of Heaven and Man, to the point where you defeated Li Tai even without comprehending the Nine Calamities Unification I gave you."

"Do you not believe in the Nine Calamities Unification I gave you?"

Zhou Bai surveyed his surroundings, realizing the palace before him was clearly the Moon Palace left by the extraterrestrial Spiritual People on the moon. He frowned and said: "You know the Moon Palace?"

Only to hear the Supreme Heavenly Venerate sigh: "Li Tai and I are quite alike, just lacking a bit of fortune. Do you think that if the Nine Calamities of Heaven and Man were given to him, he would perform better than you?"

The Supreme Heavenly Venerate sighed again: "Li Tai's performance was not as good as yours because he once had the Nine Calamities of Heaven and Man too."

Zhou Bai questioned in puzzlement: "What do you mean?"

The Supreme Heavenly Venerate turned to look at Zhou Bai and said: "Do you think in this world, you are the only one who has returned to the past to start over?"

"In fact, you were supposed to die at the hands of the Heavenly Demon."

"It was I who saved you and changed this segment of history."
