The flash of the Heavenly Dao scriptures instantly scared off the Dutian Great Spirit Officer.

Ever since the distortion of the Heavenly Dao, this kind of act of directly observing the Heavenly Dao has been impossible, even for top immortals like them.

At this moment, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer felt an unbearable itch all over his body, as if seeds were constantly taking root and sprouting inside him, wanting to burst through the earth, break through his divine body, and grow out of his flesh.

However, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer, being a top immortal with a Dao transformation degree of 195%, swiftly traversed space, withdrew from the battlefield, and immediately began to seal his memory.

All memories related to the Heavenly Dao scriptures just now transformed into a bright point of light, extracted from his sea of consciousness, and then, along with the isolated space of the immortal kingdom in his palm, dissipated into a mass of intense flames.

However, sealing the memory only prevented further deterioration of the situation. Once the mutation starts on the body, it is difficult to reverse.

Then one could see the Dutian Great Spirit Officer's Glazed Jade Body technique activate, his figure instantly transforming into a field of spirit energy, all the mutated flesh being cast off and instantly incinerated into ashes by a burst of immortal fire.

Subsequently, the Glazed Jade Body technique activated again, the spirit energy reformed into a divine body, and the Dutian Great Spirit Officer seemed to have returned to his original state.

But he could feel that the mutated power within him was like maggots attached to bones, entangling him.

The Dutian Great Spirit Officer's long hair began to move automatically without wind, dancing and growing like spirit snakes, yet continuously snapping off on its own, being incinerated into ashes by a flame.

This was the Dutian Great Spirit Officer temporarily suppressing the mutation onto his hair, then continuously purifying the mutated parts of himself.

He grimly perceived the condition of his body, even though he had erased the memories and purified his divine body, he still couldn't reverse the mutation and could only suppress it temporarily.

As time passed, the mutation would only worsen. Like Jiaojiao, who could suppress the mutation for over a hundred years, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer could suppress it for at least a thousand years.

But for the Dutian Great Spirit Officer, who had nearly endless lifespan, a thousand years was still too short.

"Zhou Bai..."

The Dutian Great Spirit Officer never thought that he would be reduced to living only a thousand more years after a single encounter with Zhou Bai, and he now felt both hatred and fear for him in his heart.

He turned to look at the situation within Luo Tianjie, where the original Heavenly Dao scriptures and all traces left by Zhou Bai had disappeared, as if they never existed.

In fact, after Xiang Tiandi reported the position, Zhou Bai had cast the Heavenly Dao bomb into the Dutian Great Spirit Officer's Luo Tianjie with a single sword strike, and after a few seconds of projecting the Heavenly Dao scriptures, all the Heavenly Dao bombs self-destructed, turning into countless specks of dust, leaving not a trace for his opponent.

This was all to keep the Heavenly Dao bomb a secret and enhance Zhou Bai's deterrent power.

At this moment, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer naturally couldn't imagine that this kind of deployment of Heavenly Dao scriptures had already achieved mass production and dissemination on the human side, in his cognition, this should be Zhou Bai's power.

'Why can Zhou Bai write the Heavenly Dao? Can he look directly at the Heavenly Dao without mutating?'

'Or has he already mutated, and he's attacking in a suicidal manner?'

'And the sword he seems to wield is the Human Emperor's Sword, but how did he accurately locate the position of my Luo Tianjie with just the Human Emperor's Sword? Is someone helping him? Could it be Xiang Tiandi again?'

Various questions arose in the Dutian Great Spirit Officer's mind, but he was certainly unwilling to fight Zhou Bai again. What if the mutation intensified, cutting short his lifespan again?

At this moment, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer had already made up his mind, to just guard the captured true god and the immortals he subdued, waiting for the gates of Supreme Heaven to open. As for Zhou Bai, he would leave him to the other people in Supreme Heaven to deal with.

After all, no matter how formidable Zhou Bai was, there would be hundreds of immortals and deities in the Heavenly Court to deal with him then, so it was better not to risk his life against Zhou Bai.

'To think that among the group of mortals, these ants, there would emerge an anomaly like Zhou Bai.'

Since he had already made up his mind, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer transmitted to the immortals: "Zhou Bai cannot be educated, yet his strength is indeed formidable. If I were to take action and suppress him, countless would suffer, and the innocent would be harmed.

I am unwilling for the hundreds of millions of people in Donghua City to suffer, and am determined to guard the gates of Supreme Heaven, awaiting the descent of the Heavenly Court and the return of the gods, to then use an overwhelming might to subdue this fiend, preventing a great calamity in the world.

From today onwards, everyone should focus on cultivation once more, and avoid causing unnecessary complications."

Listening to the Dutian Great Spirit Officer's grand and righteous words, the immortals exchanged glances, their Primordial Spirit power intensely communicating.

Immortal Dao An sighed, "That earlier moment, was it the Dutian Great Spirit Officer who was frightened away by a single sword of Zhou Bai?"

God of Slaying Ghosts frowned, "Indeed, it was after Zhou Bai swung his sword that Chief Officer Wang led us in retreat after retreat, fleeing all the way to here. Although we don't know what happened inside his Luo Tianjie, yet..."

Immortal Dao An murmured, "Can a mortal reach this level? Being able to fight against the top immortals and deities without becoming an immortal or deity?"

God of Slaying Ghosts analyzed, "Most mortals remain unable to inflict any harm on immortals and deities with a Dao transformation above 140%. As for Zhou Bai... he is just an anomaly, and there must be an incredible secret about him."

Immortal Dao An's eyes remained filled with confusion, not understanding what was so mysterious about Zhou Bai's earlier sword that could scare away the Dutian Great Spirit Officer. What exactly happened in his Luo Tianjie?

Unfortunately, unless they actively infiltrated the Dutian Great Spirit Officer's Luo Tianjie, they couldn't witness what transpired inside and could only speculate in their minds.

But this event, where a single sword from Zhou Bai scared away the Dutian Great Spirit Officer, left a profound impression on them, as the phenomenon of a mortal forcing a retreat on a group of immortals with a single sword was unprecedented through the ages.

At this moment, the immortals all felt a heightened pressure, all resolved to focus on their cultivation and swiftly restore their Dao practices.

Ming Yue's gaze grew increasingly complex, as she initially thought that this time she would have a final reckoning with Zhou Bai, yet unexpectedly this man was growing stronger, his power becoming increasingly unfathomable.

From their first encounter, where he couldn't withstand even a finger of hers, to now, where he couldn't even deal with the Dutian Great Spirit Officer of the Fortune Position.

'Why must you be a homo sapiens?' Ming Yue silently lamented in her heart, feeling increasingly regretful the more exceptional Zhou Bai became, thinking how great it would be if such a genius were a Spiritual Person?

...

On the other side, after repelling the Dutian Great Spirit Officer, Zhou Bai didn't pursue further but instead flew back in the direction of the base.

Christina couldn't help but say, "Why didn't you just kill the Dutian Great Spirit Officer? And capture all those immortals?"
