Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 400 - 399 Revival and Ruins
In West Mountain City.
Inside the secret chamber, a statue standing 3 meters tall and covered with dense clusters of eyes appeared before Christina.
Gazing at the statue whose every inch of skin was covered with eyes, Christina even felt that each and every eyeball was moving, looking towards her location.
"Disgusting," Christina couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Whoever made this thing must have psychological issues, making it so ugly."
On the other side, Yan Hui said, "This is the Primordial Dao Treasury 04. When we found it, it had almost completely merged with the void. We sacrificed 21 people and relied on Zhuang Yan's clone to barely seal it away."
Ying Hui nodded and said gravely, "Thank you all for your hard work."
Christina glanced at Yan Hui's empty right hand. Obviously, the other party had lost his right hand during this adventure, which was a very severe blow for cultivators.
Christina, while controlling Zhou Bai's body, said solemnly, "Thank you."
Yan Hui sighed and said, "It's our duty. Compared to that, Zhou Bai, what you did was more important and more dangerous. If it weren't for you this time, West Mountain City would have been in danger."
Christina replied with embarrassment, "It's just some minor matters."
Yan Hui replied, "They are not minor matters at all. Going deep behind enemy lines, and even facing five Heavenly Demons head on, commendable indeed."
Christina spoke modestly, "What you all ventured into the void is more dangerous, and at least I have gained some fame. Yet, you all can't disclose the existence of Primordial Dao Treasury 04 and the sacrifices made this time."
Ying Hui said, "Alright, enough with the courtesy between you two. Zhou Bai, go ahead and try to cultivate this Primordial Dao Treasury 04."
Christina nodded. the power of the Primordial Spirit surged out from her sea of consciousness, wrapping around the statue before her.
'Hehe, this time I get to cultivate Primordial Dao Treasury 04 first. This way, when Zhou Bai returns, my realm will be above his.'
However, after a short while, Christina began to perceive esoteric, obscure, incomprehensible, and indescribable knowledge flooding into her brain. She seemed to understand something, yet also seemed to understand nothing at all.
The spiritual opportunities of the world seemed livelier before her, and Christina's degree of Dao transformation began to loosen, gradually changing from 30% to 30.1%.
Boom!
With the rise of 0.1% in her Dao transformation, Christina felt as though her head had exploded.
"Ah!" Christina suddenly clutched her head, repeatedly smashing her head against the ground, making a series of banging sounds.
Innumerable, vague hallucinations flashed before her, unfamiliar voices sounded in her ears, and a heart-wrenching sorrow surged within her heart.
...
"The God Emperor has decided... we must... seek help from those fellows."
"Christina... give up... this world is already finished."
"Deep hatred of the blood sea... the deep hatred of the blood sea... how is it possible to stop?"
"...Ancient Demon... remember your mission."
...
Whispers after whispers arose by Christina's ears, provoking a violent turmoil in her sea of consciousness.
Ying Hui and Yan Hui rushed forward abruptly, stopping Zhou Bai from continuing to smash his head against the ground.
"Zhou Bai, what's wrong with you?"
"Could there be a problem with this primordial scripture?"
Christina hugged her head, a look of pain flashing in her eyes as she listened to the muttering beside her ear, enveloped by endless confusion.
'The Ancient Demon? Who exactly is the Ancient Demon? Why are they telling me all this?'
Christina couldn't help but wonder, "Are my memories recovering? Are they resurfacing as my Path Transformation advances?"
"The Emperor of Gods… Do I know the Haotian God Emperor?"
…
In the territory occupied by the Heavenly Demon on the other side.
Zhou Bai took Wolf Head and another eight cultivators on a long loop, quickly reaping a full harvest of fortune.
They then saw the Guihai Black Evil, which was gathered together like a black hole, suddenly beginning to disappear in large swaths, leaving behind only a large mass tangled around the sword blade, undulating up and down like burning black flames.
Zhou Bai called out to everyone to gather together once more, "Find somewhere to hide; I need to rest a bit."
So Zhou Bai led them to an abandoned building—they could tell it appeared to be a hotel more than twenty stories high. They made their way to the top floor where one cultivator kept watch outside, while the rest, following Zhou Bai's instructions, sat in a circle.
Then they saw a large mass left by Zhou Bai tangling around the people present.
Smelling the foul, sticky substance on their bodies, which was also gradually eroding their Primordial Spirit energy, Wolf Head couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what is this for?"
"Retract all your Primordial Spirit energy back into your Sea of Consciousness, and you'll be fine. This is my Sword Intent, staying on your bodies to protect you. I'm going to rest for a bit; you all stay here and protect me while I cultivate."
Zhou Bai looked at the few people before him, his eyes suddenly brightening, "Guys who looked plain at first glance—but after being doused with Guihai Black Evil, their attractiveness surged up so fast."
Looking at each person before him who went from being like tube lights, flashlights, and nightlights to practically chandelier-level attractiveness, Zhou Bai zipped his flying sword into the ground with a whoosh to ensure his Primordial Spirit was in a relaxed state, then started cultivating.
With the added bonus of their attractiveness, Zhou Bai continued to devour fortunes to enhance the potential of his Primordial Spirit.
Wolf Head and the others exchanged looks, touching the black mud that was sticky and thick like glue on their bodies, resignedly saying, "Let's just endure it, everyone."
With the added bonus from eight people's attractiveness, Zhou Bai's cultivation progressed quickly. In about three hours, his Primordial Spirit's potential had increased by more than a hundred, from 5243 to 5345.
Zhou Bai then glanced at the system panel, which showed about 850,000 points of laziness, 130,000 more than before—a profit made from selling Heavenly Demon and Guihai Black Evil.
'Pity that the Dharma Saint Relics aren't with me. Potential is just potential; my Primordial Spirit energy is still 5243 and will need cultivation to reach 5345.'
With a sigh, Zhou Bai stopped cultivating and looked at the few people wrapped in Guihai Black Evil, thinking to himself, 'The Heavenly Demon must be close to discovering my whereabouts. If I continue to cultivate with them, I can flee anytime, but they won't be able to.'
'Let them continue with the mission, head to that laboratory while I keep harvesting from the Heavenly Demon, and then find time to rush over there.'
As Zhou Bai thought this, the hotel wall instantly shattered. Two pitch-black missiles hit the center of the lobby, and the next moment, they exploded with a roar, turning into a gigantic fireball that engulfed the entire top floor and all the people within in a sea of flames and shock waves.

And this was only the first wave of attack. A dozen more supersonic missiles covered the entire building, submerging it in a series of explosions.
Accompanied by the thunderous booms, the building that was over twenty stories high collapsed with a crash, reduced to a pile of ruins.
