Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 259 - 258 Abyss Fire 5

Within the 500-meter military zone of Donghua City.

In a massive space completely enclosed by layers of armor plates.

An elder was slowly making his way toward the depths of the space, pausing occasionally to cough violently, as if he was about to cough up his lungs.

With each cough, a series of roars echoed from deep within the space, sounding heart-wrenching and filled with resentment and misery.

Upon hearing these roars, a hint of sadness flashed in the old man’s eyes.

Minutes later, he reached the deepest part of the space, where a several-hundred-meter-wide Array appeared before him.

Various symbols, runes, and engravings densely covered the ground, walls, and ceiling, forming numerous layers of colorful membranes that enveloped the space before him.

Beneath the membrane’s cover, a dark figure crouched silently, trembling continuously and emitting bursts of roars.

It was a beast resembling a tiger but covered in porcupine-like spikes and equipped with a pair of eagle-like wings, its eyes as large as copper bells filled with tyranny and resentment, continuously growling threateningly at the old man.

Boom!

The beast charged forward, colliding head-on with the membrane. Amidst the intense collision, streaks of electricity lit up on the beast’s body, briefly repelling it.

"It’s okay, Yun Long, soon, I will cure you," the elder said with sadness in his eyes, yet his voice remained cold, "What do you think? Is there a way?"

A black figure rose from the shadows under the old man’s feet, forming Xing Jun’s head. He looked at the deformed creature before him, a slight smile appearing on his lips, "It shouldn’t be a problem. According to Heavenly Demon’s research on deformed creatures, their consciousness hasn’t been completely destroyed. If we can rescue it, remove the madness and evil, and replace it with another body, there is a possibility of saving it."

"And reconstructing consciousness, creating a physical body, that’s what Heavenly Demon excels at."

Xing Jun remotely controlled this Heavenly Demon’s body, confidently gazing at the elder beside him while recalling his details.

’Chairman of Donghua City’s Supreme Council… Wang Xuanhua, a level 9 cultivator. Keeping a deformed creature underneath the military zone, hmm… truly remarkable news.’

Just as Xing Jun was pondering, a skeletal hand shot out like lightning, instantly grabbing the Heavenly Demon’s body before him.

The old man’s tone was as chilling as an Alaskan breeze, "Xing Jun, Heavenly Demon... in my lifetime, if not a million, I’ve killed at least five hundred thousand of them."

Xing Jun tried to control the Heavenly Demon’s body but felt completely unable to escape the grasp, the skeletal body seemingly containing unimaginable violence.

Xing Jun thought to himself, ’Level 9 cultivator... I remember Wang Xuanhua chose the special Heaven Court’s Tathagata diagram as his level 9 cultivation, also currently the only level 9 cultivator in Donghua City.’

Wang Xuanhua’s gaze was icy as he looked at Xing Jun, then said, "Cure Yun Long, and all will be well. Fail, and I will ensure your plans are thoroughly thwarted."

"As you wish, I will do my utmost to cure him. I believe you have also seen the transformation results of little Pei, a perfect body, immortal life, and a fully self-controlled consciousness."

Xing Jun smiled, "May I ask, what is his relationship to you?"

Wang Xuanhua’s gaze slightly wavered, looking at the beast trapped within the Array, and said softly, "He’s my younger brother."

"I understand," Xing Jun said as he looked at Wang Xuanhua’s body. "Your body doesn’t look too good either, various hidden injuries, aged organs, scattered qi and blood... Do you need me to use the Heavenly Demon organization to help you improve? I could help you return to your peak condition..."

Boom!

With a palm strike from Wang Xuanhua, the air within a hundred meters seemed to be instantly compressed by the furious force into a solid mass.

The body controlled by Xing Jun had almost no resistance and was smashed so that its lower half was completely pulverized.

Wang Xuanhua slowly said, "Xing Jun, listen clearly, even if all the humans in East Dawn City turned into Heavenly Demons, I will not be transformed. Do your own duty and stop testing me."

Xing Jun smiled, not saying anything aloud, but inwardly thought, ’Heh, such a crafty old fox... Don’t trust the transformation technology? Or are you thinking of keeping yourself as a contingency? Using this decaying body to observe the situation after transformation and then make your move?’

...

Meanwhile, Zhou Bai was still tracking Lin Muqing’s past.

But Zhou Bai couldn’t see what exactly had attacked Lin Muqing.

So, he replayed the segment over and over but didn’t notice any signs of an attack, no changes in the surroundings, no fluctuations in the air, no movement of Primordial Spirit force. It was as if Lin Muqing’s stomach had just opened up with a gash on its own.

As his mind grew increasingly agitated, Christina said, "Could it be an Array?"

"An Array?"

Zhou Bai paused slightly, looking at the scene before him, and thought, ’Mysterious attack, undetectable method. It might indeed be the capability of an Array.’

Zhou Bai recalled his previous observations. As he followed Lin Muqing, he saw various scenes but couldn’t recall any abnormal situations.

"The only thing I cannot see is the situation within 500 meters at the military zone that Lin Muqing went to. Could something have happened there? Was she targeted by some Array’s ability there?"

Previously, Zhou Bai had followed Lin Muqing and saw her heading to the military zone 500 meters from East Dawn City.

But of course, Zhou Bai couldn’t follow her inside; he could only keep using the Array’s power from outside the main gate, catching the moment she came out and continuing to follow her.

The time Lin Muqing spent within the military zone was the only gap he had not observed.

Shaking his head, unable to think of any clues, Zhou Bai could only continue the past scenes, following the men who were carrying Lin Muqing, to see where they took her.

Following the trail, Zhou Bai soon reached the government zone 2000 meters away.

But seeing the heavily guarded yard before him, Zhou Bai furrowed his brow, "With such security, I can’t get inside silently."

Christina said, "What should we do? Should we wait a week for the gemstone’s cooldown period to pass and then try to charge in and see?"

Zhou Bai shook his head, "No, Lin Muqing has been taken away for two days already, she could be in danger at any moment. I need her to contact the Sky Flipping Sect, which is currently the most likely power in East Dawn City capable of resisting the Heavenly Demons. We can’t delay any longer."

Christina asked, "Then what do you plan to do to save her?"

Zhou Bai thought for a moment and said, "I’ll first see what kind of people are inside." He then used the necklace Array to view the people who had come and gone from the courtyard over the past three days.
