Calamity of Tomorrow
Chapter 795: 793 Temptation
Zhou Bai's voice continued to come from Xuan Nu's communicator.
"...Now, all the attention of the gods is focused on the Heavenly Arena, even the most cautious Xiang Tiandi can't manage to take care of Primordial Dao Repository 07 here.
As long as I find a way to divert the attention of the Si Yi Celestial Lord, I can get the Primordial Dao Repository 07, then learn it on the spot, and elevate my Dao integration to 70%."
Xuan Nu nodded and said earnestly, "Don't worry, Zhou Bai, I will fight to death to help you get Primordial Dao Repository 07."
Zhou Bai thought to himself, "Xuan Nu has both instantaneous movement and phasing, and she can even adjust her flesh to heal herself. Plus, with my support later, it'll be hard for her to die. After all, her escape ability is second only to mine among those I know."
Zhou Bai then said, "What nonsense are you saying? Primordial Dao Repository isn't as important as you are. Even if we can't get it later, you must save your life, that's an order I'm giving you."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Nu smiled sweetly and obediently said, "Okay, I understand." But in her heart, she had already resolved to pay any price to help Zhou Bai secure Primordial Dao Repository 07.
Meanwhile, facing Xuan Nu disguised as Zhou Bai, Si Yi Celestial Lord struck with a force that shocked the region for miles around, rolling black tides lifting thousands of souls, surging toward Xuan Nu like a tsunami.
Xuan Nu knew she couldn't face Si Yi Celestial Lord head-on, a top-tier godly being. Her body phased and she dodged the attack, retreating backward.
At the same time, the Star Throne, a battleship crafted by Zhou Bai using Heavenly Demon technology, had already arrived above Xuan Nu. Its cannons fully opened, firing 120 plasma guns, 160 laser turrets, and 40 missile launchers, with 400 electromagnetic cannons launching a full assault directly at Si Yi Celestial Lord.
Beams of light tore through the atmosphere, creating a Death Tide that covered several square kilometers, pouring down toward the head of Si Yi Celestial Lord.
"Hmm?" Si Yi Celestial Lord looked up and his face turned slightly serious, "They even called a Heavenly Demon? Then it seems I too must get serious."
He stood up, stepped forward, and walked into the portal leading to the Luotian Realm, vanishing from the Material World.
Facing such widespread, mass bombardment from a Heavenly Demon, almost no god would choose to withstand it directly. After all, Heavenly Demon weapons and ammunition were mass-produced, which isn't as precious as Primordial Spirit power. Understanding Heavenly Dao and mastering space-time were the advantages of the gods.
As Si Yi Celestial Lord disappeared, Xuan Nu suddenly felt even more terrifying pressure.
The surrounding space conveyed an immense killing intent, ubiquitous, endless, as if the whole world was her enemy.
Whoosh!
A black blade beam suddenly flashed from behind Xuan Nu. She barely reacted in time to dodge the deadly strike.
The blade beam continued downward, striking the ground and causing a booming transformation of the terrain. Once the dust cleared, the earth bore scars several kilometers long, as if slashed by a giant scar.
But Xuan Nu had no time to observe these, as Si Yi Celestial Lord's attacks kept coming relentlessly, causing mountains to collapse and the skies to change color.
Si Yi Celestial Lord seemed like an adult attacking an ant, wielding vast Primordial Spirit power transforming into myriad blade lights and sword shadows, mingled with shadows of death and lost souls.
The path of the attack was like an invisible giant hand wiping through heaven and earth, directly flattening all mountains, clouds, hills, and valleys in its wake. All matter was crushed under this immense force.
Faced with the terrifying Primordial Spirit power of the Si Yi Heavenly Lord, Xuan Nu dared not confront it directly. She could only desperately evade by using Instantaneous Movement and dematerialization, while also using the long-range bombardment from the Star Throne to restrain some of the attacks.
"Si Yi Heavenly Lord's Primordial Spirit power is so strong," Xuan Nu thought in shock. "Her Primordial Spirit power far exceeds that of Xiang Tiandi and Li Zhengdao before. It's like with each casual movement, she could flatten mountains and carve valleys, permanently altering the terrain."
Xuan Nu's gaze swept across the occasional souls emerging within the enemy's offensive and she silently deduced, "Has she absorbed the Primordial Spirits of others? These seem to be the remnants of people's Primordial Spirits after death, collected before they dissipated. Is this how she enhanced the power of her own Primordial Spirit?"
Despite Xuan Nu being extremely cautious and tense, it was impossible to completely avoid all attacks from Si Yi Heavenly Lord.
Watching Xuan Nu desperately fleeing, Si Yi Heavenly Lord chuckled and said, "You look just like a fly when you hide."
Xuan Nu coldly replied, "You're as slow as an old hag. Oh... I forgot, you are indeed an old hag."
Si Yi Heavenly Lord snorted, "Sharp-tongued." She then slightly shook her hands and the bells in her hands gently jingled with a crisp sound.
With the shaking of the bells, various souls, both male and female, young and old, emerged, wailing as they crossed through the portal and rushed toward Xuan Nu.
Xuan Nu dodged left and right, continuously using Instantaneous Movement, but the souls clung to her tenaciously, as if relentless until death.
Xuan Nu tried punching, the Qi Force striking a young-looking soul through the air.
However, upon slight contact with the Qi Force, the soul's eyes bled and it suddenly expanded, ultimately exploding with a loud bang.
"Self-destruction?"
Xuan Nu was shocked, her Mecha severely damaged, with her right hand a bloody mess.
Zhou Bai asked with concern, "Are you alright, Xuan Nu?"
"I'm fine," Xuan Nu gritted her teeth. "But these things are relentless—they explode on contact, making them very difficult to deal with."
She looked at the sky in the distance where more and more souls surged out, like endless waves.
Xuan Nu sighed, "How many souls has Si Yi Heavenly Lord collected? To use them so recklessly..."
Zhou Bai said, "Hold on, my reinforcements are coming."
Just as Xuan Nu, relying on her distortion ability, struggled to resist Si Yi Heavenly Lord's offensive and tried to draw the battlefield away from the original Heavenly Dao treasures, high-pitched shrieks filled the sky, as countless shadows accompanied by high temperatures and explosions came crashing down like meteors.
Only a thousand meters above the ground, the shadows burst open, shedding layers of armor and revealing the Mechas within.
These were Mechas dispatched from the Star Throne, each uniquely designed and equipped with different capabilities, embedded with various Heavenly Demon technologies, now all sent by Zhou Bai to support Xuan Nu.
