In the eyes of Tu Tianmo, his father stood as the preeminent leader among the thirty-six scattered Immortals, his cultivation reaching the heavens and delving deep into the earth, unfathomable. No matter what situation he faced, he was always confident, able to exterminate enemies with a wave of his hand.

Let alone being slain, Tu Tianmo had never even seen his father defeated.

But now, the Ghost God had not only been defeated but had suffered a crushing, utterly disastrous defeat. Without so much as scratching Zhou Bai's skin, he was killed with a single palm strike, a tragedy beyond words.

"Zhou Bai is too ruthless. How old is he... How many years has he been cultivating?!"

"My old man was actually killed with a single palm strike..."

"Even my father, an Immortal like that, is just a weakling in front of Zhou Bai, no different than me."

At this moment, Tu Tianmo's entire worldview was completely overturned. The concept of Immortals being supreme and invincible was shattered into pieces by Zhou Bai's palm strike.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Tiandi's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and he cursed inwardly, "What is the Ghost God doing? Taking on the unified Five Divine Skills head-on? Couldn't he have escaped into the Luotian Realm? Why come out? And even if he came out, why take on the Five Divine Skills directly?"

"That kid Zhou Bai... He has actually mastered all Five Divine Skills. When did he achieve this? How did he do it?"

"He hid this move so well... No wonder he rushed to the arena."

The Ghost God being killed by that palm strike happened so abruptly that Xiang Tiandi didn't have time to stop the projection, and could only watch helplessly as the scene unfolded within it.

At this moment, billions of people across the world witnessed Zhou Bai killing the Ghost God with a palm strike.

This instance can truly be described as causing an uproar throughout the world.

In the eyes of countless members of the human race, today's spectacle was full of dramatic twists and shocking developments.

From Li Xiuzhu transforming into a giant dragon at the start, slaying Ming Yue Immortal's avatar.

To the Ghost God entering the fray, using Sword Qi and sword light to obliterate Li Xiuzhu.

To the end, where Zhou Bai stood against the Ghost God, who was executing swordsmanship, Zhou Bai pointing to the sky and to the earth before finally killing the Ghost God with a palm strike.

Although the truth was not as the audience perceived, to them, this was what unfolded in the arena.

Jing Xiu said, "Big Brother Zhou... Could Big Brother Zhou have ascended?"

Xia Li exclaimed, "How could he have ascended just like that?! Wasn't he just at the fourth or fifth realm before?!"

Jing Xiu murmured, "But if he hasn't ascended, then that's even more terrifying."

Xia Li paused, her realization dawning quickly. Yes, if Zhou Bai had not ascended and still defeated the Ghost God, what would happen with continued improvement in his cultivation? Wouldn't he end up poking a hole in the heavens?

Jiaojiao, too, was staring in astonishment at the scene in the projection, but she was more shocked by Zhou Bai's performance than anyone else.

Simply because she was one who had cultivated the Five Divine Skills and had mastered the unification of the Five Divine Skills. Over the past hundred years, she had watched numerous excellent cultivators fall before the Five Divine Skills.

It had taken her a full ten years to master the combined Five Divine Skills' Mixed Element Star Constellation Calamity.

And now...

"She's already learned it..." Jiaojiao's mouth fell open, still somewhat in disbelief: "How long has it been? And yet, she's already mastered the Mixed Element Star Constellation Calamity, unleashing the power of the first Calamity."

Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, "Zhou Bai's talent... I fear that throughout the ages, no one can match it."

...

On another arena in the sky, Tu Tianmo, with a dark face, said, "I wasn't killed by a single palm strike from Zhou Bai, I had an earth-shattering battle with him in the Luotian Realm and was ambushed by this kid right after leaving the Luotian Realm."

Li Xiuzhu smiled faintly, "I even defeated Ming Yue's true form, not just a clone. But people will only see what's on the surface, no matter how fiercely you fight in the Luotian Realm, no one can see it, so it's as if nothing happened."

Hearing Li Xiuzhu say this, Tu Tianmo's face grew even darker, and he glared fiercely at Li Xiuzhu nearby, "When does this arena effect end? Zhou Bai may have tricked me, but he also exposed his trump cards. Not to mention Xiang Tiandi here, there are seven other gods from West Mountain City who could come to support at any moment. You can't escape."

Li Xiuzhu chuckled, "Anyway, now the whole world knows you were defeated by Zhou Bai, everyone will recognize that, that a person can triumph over gods. There will be more people practicing the Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques, trying to awaken their own demonic bloodline."

"Li Xiuzhu..." Tu Tianmo's words bristled with killing intent, "Are you going to destroy the heaven's hard work of hundreds of years, wreck the entire human society? You truly deserve to die."

Li Xiuzhu spoke earnestly, "Continuing to watch our own decline and allowing the whole clan to die a slow death is the real destruction of the human race. I know you despise the demonic bloodline in us, but that's your fault, for as high and mighty Immortals, you failed to annihilate demons and preserve the pure blood of the human race."

"It's your failure that had led to the current situation."

Li Xiuzhu said angrily, "Yet, you want to blame today's humans for your failure? What wrong have they done? They were born with demonic bloodlines; it wasn't their choice."

Tu Tianmo said coldly, "We have always been striving to suppress the demonic bloodline, to keep clearing its influence on humanity. But now, by accepting the demonic bloodline, you want to turn all people back into demons? You have let down all the efforts of our ancestors, and what you are doing will only lead to the true awakening of the demons, their consciousness, their memories, have always existed within that bloodline."

Li Xiuzhu and Tu Tianmo's eyes collided, as if their wills were rubbing fiercely against each other, almost as if they could strike sparks in the air.

Ming Yue sighed beside them, her gaze complex as she looked at Zhou Bai on the arena, "Zhou Bai... he's of pure human blood, isn't he?" She glanced at Li Xiuzhu, and said coldly, "If he knew about your plans and saw the Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques, do you think he would really support you?"

...

Zhou Bai stood on the arena, looking at the silent world around him, gazing at countless silent cultivators, and floated directly to the center of the arena.

Inside his sea of consciousness, Christina was still extremely excited, her paws raised, clawing furiously at the scratching board below her, "Hahahaha, how about that, Zhou Bai! How did I do this time? Wasn't it badass!"

Elsa said, "Didn't you just recite the lines Zhou Bai gave you?"

Christina said proudly, "Do you think just anyone can recite them as well as I did? Besides, I feel like I can go off-script and show off on my own. I think I can add some improvisation of my own."

This time, Christina was still reciting lines from the script given by Zhou Bai, but she felt that her own level had been limited.

"Enough talk, get ready for the next battle. There are 20 minutes left until the end of the arena."

Zhou Bai took a deep breath of relief, and then quickly tensed up again, knowing that things were far from over and an even worse test was coming.

He glanced at his laziness points; this move combining the Five Divine Skills had caused a surge in pollution, costing him a million laziness points to treat, which was exceedingly expensive.

If it wasn't for the past day and night spent waiting for Li Xiuzhu and Ming Yue to fight, Zhou Bai had been contacting Heavenly Demons to gather the Heavenly Demon organization and then let the Shadow of Distortion sell off resources; otherwise, his laziness points would have been drained.

It was also fortunate that Christina was okay, constantly scratching at her scratch board, somehow soothing her spirit and remaining unaffected by distortion and pollution.

This was something Christina had inadvertently discovered during the time she practiced with Zhou Bai; by using this scratch board, she could treat the aftermath of unleashing the Five Divine Skills, but it was limited to Christina's own use.

Zhou Bai said, "Are you ready, Tina? Let's start the next battle."

Christina nodded, "Ready to go, Zhou Bai!"

The next moment, Zhou Bai abruptly looked up, in the silent world he shouted out loud, staring in the direction of the Floating Palace, "Xiang Tiandi, come up and meet your death."
