Qian Wangsun said casually: "You can think whatever you like, after all, the future has already changed again ever since I told you this news.

Right, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer has recovered from his injuries. He might attack East Hua City in about an hour or so. I've already contacted Zuo Dao, Xiang Tiandi, and Christina for you, go and drive him away."

The last time he came in full force, overwhelming the entire East Hua City, it took a great effort to barely fend off the Dutian Great Spirit Officer. But now, in Qian Wangsun's mouth, he has become someone who can be easily repelled.

However, Zhou Bai had no objection to this and merely asked, "Shouldn't we let Xia Li and the others try the newly produced weapons in battle? Even if they lose, they could gain some experience."

Qian Wangsun shook his head: "There's no need. Keeping it secret for now is more important. A powerful expert who suddenly emerges is far less terrifying to the Heavenly Court than mortals who have grasped the power to slay gods. You go attract some firepower first, buy us more time, so fewer people have to be sacrificed in the future."

Zhou Bai asked, "Did Xiang Tiandi agree to come and help?"

Qian Wangsun nodded and said, "I can persuade him. Whether it's an immortal or a god, they have value for now. Let them atone for their sins first; once the Heavenly Court is defeated, we can capture them all at once and judge them as needed. By then, the blood debts of both intelligent humans and spiritual people will be settled."

Zhou Bai nodded lightly and sighed, "Alright."

...

In a palace above Central City, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer had been in seclusion for more than two months, not only healing his wounds but also pushing his cultivation forward, reaching a Daoization level of 195.

He opened his eyes, with streams of light seemingly flashing through the air. The space within a kilometer radius abruptly paused, as if entirely under his control.

At this moment, all the immortals in the palace felt a strong pressure emanating from the central position. Then their vision blurred, and they found themselves forcibly moved in front of the Dutian Great Spirit Officer.

The immortals like Tu Guishen looked at the great spirit officer before them with a trace of fear in their hearts.

Over these past two months, the four immortal lords and he combined the Dao External Insight Scroll and the Taiwei Nine Stars Algorithm, progressing quite rapidly. Even if they had not surpassed a Daoization level of 170%, they were already close.

Other immortals have also gradually restored their cultivation to over 160%.

It can be said that over the past two months, the strength of the immortals has greatly recovered, enough to sweep away their former selves from two months ago.

But they still aren't a match for the Dutian Great Spirit Officer from more than two months ago, let alone now, with a Daoization level of 195%.

"This seat has fully recovered today, and intends to visit East Hua City again to suppress demons and capture Zhou Bai. You all shall accompany me."

Seeing the group of immortals once again intimidated by him, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer showed a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. With a wave of his hand, the immortals and he appeared together above the clouds, heading towards East Hua City on clouds.

But halfway through the journey, they saw a figure clad in black armor, holding the Human Emperor's Sword, blocking their path mid-air.

Upon seeing this, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer's form flickered first, retreating into his Luotian Realm, and the other immortals quickly followed, each retreating into their own Luotian Realm.

After so many encounters with Zhou Bai, and suffering losses so many times, it has become common sense for them to hide upon seeing him.

From the start of the battle, it's best not to have any form of contact with Zhou Bai; the safest course is not even to glance at him.

Zhou Bai saw this and smiled slightly. At this moment, he was wearing the double armor of Zuo Dao and the Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor, had Christina and Elsa in his sea of consciousness, and kept a conversation open with Xiang Tiandi through the Quantum Communication Network.

He didn't make a move first but rather watched this scene with amusement.

On the other side, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer also felt that his action weakened his momentum, but Zhou Bai's abilities were too overbearing, and he refused to engage in close combat with him anymore, staying within his Luotian Realm felt safer.

Thus, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer coldly shouted, "Bold Zhou Bai, do you still want to defy the Heavenly Court, remaining stubborn? I was ordered by the Golden Mother Primordial Lord not to harm you. If you willingly submit to the Heavenly Court, the whole of East Hua City can be spared from disaster."

As the Dutian Great Spirit Officer spoke, the surrounding spiritual essence surged like an ocean.

The Creation Dao Skill 'Xuan Yuan One Qi Sword' was launched, transforming the heavenly spiritual essence into countless flying swords. Countless ninth-rank quality flying swords burst forth like waves, merging into an overwhelming sword array, unleashing Sword Qi of ten thousand feet.

The earth within a hundred miles was torn layer by layer, and the clouds were shredded to pieces by the sword energy.

In an instant, heaven and earth changed color, combined with the Dutian Great Spirit Officer's words, it unleashed earth-shattering pressure, making the immortals like Tu Guishen and the four immortal lords sigh continuously.

Facing this overwhelming power, Xiang Tiandi gravely said, "Zhou Bai, do you plan to block him? Last time he was unprepared, our ambush was effective, but this time he's prepared; it's not that easy to ambush him."

"No need to ambush. You just have to report his Luotian Realm's location; nothing else needs to be done."

Zhou Bai casually asked, "Christina, any idea on how to show off this time?"

Christina promptly replied, "I get it! I get it! First, let him attack us until he realizes he can't break through our defense. Then recite a poem, follow it with a Mixed Element Star Constellation Calamity smack to his face, beating the snot out of him. I've already thought of a poem…"

Elsa was clapping on the side, thinking: 'If the immortals come looking to fight Zhou Bai every day, doesn't that mean I won't need to attend classes every day?'

After hearing Christina's response, Zhou Bai shook his head: "That's too deliberate. I no longer need to prove my strength to the audience, so why bother? I only seek a thrill."

Zhou Bai said calmly: "Immortal Ling Officer, do you know what Heavenly Dao is?"

Ling Officer coldly said: "A mere mortal also dares to speak of Heavenly Dao?"

Zhou Bai sighed and took a step forward. The sword in his hand erupted with myriad sword lights, with each step and word, the sword lights became more and more intense.

"You group of celestial beings, after cultivating for countless years, are still like clay and wooden figures."

"Today I will defeat you with one sword, only because you don't understand Heavenly Dao yet indulge in arrogance."

With a slash from the Human Emperor's Sword, a golden Sword Qi a kilometer long tore through the clouds and disappeared in the next moment, directly cleaving into the Dutian Great Spirit Officer's Luotian Realm.

As the Sword Qi erupted, Zhou Bai's voice boomed directly within the Luotian Realm, resembling the roar of billions of thunders, sweeping through the clouds, becoming endless echoes.

Don't understand! Don't understand! Don't understand! Don't understand…

"I don't understand Heavenly Dao?" The Dutian Great Spirit Officer heard this, his heart filled with anger, and as he was about to act, he saw the Heavenly Dao texts suddenly appear in the air.

Almost at the moment he saw the content of the texts, he let out a miserable scream, clutching his head, as immense pain shot through it, and his entire Luotian Realm quaked violently, seemingly on the brink of collapse.

With a series of soft sounds, spikes grew directly from his brain, piercing through his Divine Body, filling his entire body, and continuing to grow outward, like living creatures.

'Zhou Bai can transcribe the Heavenly Dao?'

'How is this possible?!'

Boundless shock and fear surged from the Dutian Great Spirit Officer's heart, without having time to think, he rolled his long sleeves, taking the immortals through space, leaping tens of thousands of meters, and then a few more jumps, completely disappearing from sight.
