Calamity of Tomorrow
Chapter 818 - 816: Turbulent Upheaval
Just as the ten great Immortals stood in confrontation, the entire world was stirred by the changes in the projection.
It was like a stone was thrown into a pond, with ripples and undercurrents sweeping across the entire surface.
The previous projection, after showing Xiang Tiandi transforming into a demon with wings that overshadowed the entire arena, abruptly disappeared.
One could say that the entire human world was shocked by the fact that Xiang Tiandi was defeated by Zhou Bai one moment, and the next by Xiang Tiandi's transformation.
However, for most commoners, they couldn't distinguish between demonization and aberration. To them, it was simply that Xiang Tiandi not only failed but also started to distort.
But for some insightful human beings, Xiang Tiandi's display was akin to a global hurricane, completely tearing apart their previous understanding of the Heavenly Court.
In East Hua City at this moment, Jiaojiao looked at the disappeared projection and couldn't help but say, "What is going on? What happened? Did they continue to fight?"
"The projection vanished at such a critical moment!"
For Jiaojiao, who was watching the scene halfway before the projection was cut off, every moment now felt unbearable.
Fortunately, Zhou Bai's avatar came just now, so it should still be fine.
But considering the potential changes in the world's situation after Xiang Tiandi's demonic bloodline was revealed, Jiaojiao felt increasingly uneasy, yet she still couldn't leave East Hua City, as she had to stay to suppress her own aberrant flesh.
She punched the surrounding flesh violently, a trace of hatred flashing in her eyes: "If it weren't for the distortion... how could I be trapped here, missing such an important battle for humans."
In South Mountain City, the White Shadow Man looked in the direction of the severed projection, silent for a long time.
Beside him, the Sect Master of the Evil Sect, Abnormal Master Wang Yan sighed, "Is that demon bloodline? Has the Heavenly Court fallen this much?"
The White Shadow Man said calmly, "The Heavenly Court was never that noble. If it weren't for their desire to preserve strength, wanting to restore their power before dealing with the Heavenly Demons, exchanging space for time all the way, relying on human sacrifice to delay the Heavenly Demons. If not for this, how would humans be left with so few, only five cities remaining."
Wang Yan sighed, "Do you think Zhou Bai and Li Xiuzhu can escape? Their strength really exceeded my expectations."
"Since ancient times, the first batch of rebellious kings and rebels often attract firepower, ignite turmoil, and intensify chaos across the world but have never been successful."
With that, the White Shadow Man turned around, no longer looking in the direction of the disappeared projection, "Let's go, hurry up to decipher the Zhao Family's bloodline secret. This world is only going to get more turbulent, and as the power of the Heavenly Court continues to recover, neither the Sky Flipping Sect nor Zhou Bai can hold out for long."
In the Floating Palace at the scene, Xiang Haocu and Zhao Yue were staring blankly in Xiang Tiandi's direction.
In recent times, they had led the Heavenly Court cultivators to hunt down the Sky Flipping Sect rebels everywhere and naturally had seen countless awaken their bloodline and transform into demons among the Sky Flipping Sect cultivators.
The demonic aura Xiang Tiandi just displayed was exactly like that of the Sky Flipping Sect cultivators they had seen, only more ferocious, cunning, and cold-blooded by countless times, far from the ignorant, chaotic aberrations.
'Father... is a demon?!'
This revelation hit Xiang Haocu's mind like a thunderbolt on a clear day.
At this moment, Xiang Haocu suddenly realized that his past experiences seemed to have a new explanation.
Father often showed kindness to humans, secretly supporting human geniuses.
Father cherished memories of mother and treated him, a half-human half-demon, with such kindness.
Father always opposed the Heavenly Court's oppression of mortals, often speaking up for them.
'Could it be that Father did all this... not because of humans, but because of the demon bloodline within us... does he remember his demonic ties?'
In another Floating Palace, Tu Tianmo's eyes glowed with a complex light, his Primordial Spirit fluctuating intensely, causing the air to crackle around him.
At this moment, everything happening on the Heavenly Arena was shaking his soul.
'Is father not dead? Yet who could have imagined that Xiang Tiandi also has a demon bloodline? How are these righteous gods any more noble than us then? Why can they ascend to godhood while we cannot?'
'Who doesn't want to become a god or an Immortal, who wants to be weak all their life?'
Tu Tianmo thought of his Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques hidden in West Mountain City.
...
In the sky at this moment, the ten great Immortals stood confronting each other.
The Immortals communicated silently, discussing how to deal with the current situation.
Hearing the words of Tu Guishen, Immortal Ming Yue glanced at him, somewhat angered.
Tianyangzi seized the opportunity and said, "This is my intention as well. A war between Immortals should not be rashly started, lest it gives others an opportunity. The matter of Xiang Tiandi should be left for the Celestial Emperor to decide."
The other Immortals seemed to have no objections, only Immortal Ming Yue still looked defiant, as if wanting to continue opposing.
But at this time, Tu Guishen's voice resounded in her ear, temporarily soothing her.
Tianyangzi looked at the five righteous gods and said solemnly, "Ladies and gentlemen, we will report the matter of Xiang Tiandi to the Celestial Emperor. The reappearance of demon bloodline in a righteous god needs serious handling. Our Wanxian Island will not condone any Immortal-level great demon..."
The corners of Xiang Tiandi's mouth slightly curled. Although Tianyangzi's words sounded heavy, it actually meant temporarily backing down and not stopping them.
Xiang Tiandi looked down, his eyes seemingly piercing through layers of darkness, landing on Zhou Bai's position, filled with killing intent: 'Zhou Bai, Li Xiuzhu... you won't escape...'
Just as Tianyangzi was negotiating with Si Yi Celestial Lord, Tu Guishen suddenly spoke, "Then let us wait here with you all, and later return to Central City together to make a report to the God Emperor and Celestial Emperor."
Si Yi Celestial Lord's gaze wavered slightly, wanting the Immortals to leave first, but couldn't think of a good excuse. After all, she didn't want these Immortals to see what she was planning to do next.
At this moment, Xiang Tiandi said to several Immortals, "Thank you all for your understanding. Once we capture Li Xiuzhu and Zhou Bai, we'll accompany you to meet the God Emperor and Celestial Emperor, to clarify everything."
Xiang Tiandi transmitted to Si Yi Celestial Lord, "As long as we catch Li Xiuzhu and Zhou Bai, let the Immortals see it doesn't matter. Can't we five not catch two mortals?"
Si Yi Celestial Lord nodded, told the Immortals, and then withdrew the darkness, planning to take the four righteous gods down to deal with Li Xiuzhu and Zhou Bai.
At this moment, Tu Guishen's mouth moved slightly, and Immortal Ming Yue, receiving a transmission, immediately said, "Wait! Xiang Tiandi cannot go; he must stay here under our watch."
