Zhou Bai followed the Dark Lady upwards, glancing back at Qian Wangsun and the others. He said, "They..."
The Dark Lady said, "Don't worry, I won't harm them. They are just temporarily imprisoned. Even if you wish to release them later, it wouldn't be an issue. They're just a few humans; they don't affect the bigger picture."
anwhile, Xu Dela had returned to the platform once again, eyeing everyone predatorily.
On the other side, Zhou Bai followed the Dark Lady into the Abyss, descending all the way down.
The Abyss Nether Dragon Armor had appeared next to the Dark Lady at so point, silently standing guard like a bodyguard.
Zhou Bai had long been fascinated by it, this thing that could cause distortions. He asked, "What is this?"
"The Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, originally the treasured relic of the Evil Sect," the Dark Lady briefly explained its origin, then continued, "This Abyss Nether Dragon Armor is still worn by Wei Cang's son, Wei Mang."
She looked at the Black Armored Man and said, "He has beco like a part of the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor."
Zhou Bai nodded, thinking to himself, 'This one seems unsellable.' He suddenly looked around at the surrounding rock walls and saw nurous caves appear above, pairs of eyes peeking out from these caves, staring at Zhou Bai and the Dark Lady.
Zhou Bai exclaid in shock, "Are these all mutations? Are they all humans?"
The Dark Lady shook her head, "Finding a human on the Heavenly Demon's side now is harder than finding a dragon. They've already slaughtered all the humans in their own territory. What you're seeing now are the ones captured from the battlefield in recent months."
"The Abyss Dragon within the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor seems to have its last obsession, which causes its induced mutations to transform towards the shapes of snakes, water snakes, and dragons."
"Even so, after so many experints, these mutated beings still only retain their instincts and have no intelligence at all. If it weren't for suppressing them, they would have likely turned on each other already, all dead by now."
A wave of anger surged in Zhou Bai's heart, but he suppressed it and looked at her, asking, "What exactly do you intend to do? Create a new race?" He looked at the parts of her that were obviously chanically constructed. "You count as a Heavenly Demon, right?"
The Dark Lady replied, "Most of my body has indeed been transford into machinery, but the Heavenly Demons can't fully control . As for what I want to do, you'll find out eventually."
Zhou Bai asked, "So what did the Heavenly Demons want by attacking this ti?"
The Dark Lady said, "Of course, to capture more subjects for experintation… The Heavenly Demons want to master the power of mutations, but Heavenly Dao, mutations, Taoist techniques, martial arts, these are all powers that the Heavenly Demons cannot grasp. Therefore, they rely on ."
A chill rose in Zhou Bai's heart as he stared at her and asked, "Was it you who asked the Heavenly Demons to capture humans?"
The Dark Lady said, "Not entirely, but I did fan the flas. Only by causing the Heavenly Demons and humans to fully engage in war will the Heavenly Demons place more importance on research of the mutations to face the human cultivators and the Immortals, thus obtaining more resources, which is more beneficial for us."
"Zhou Bai, I know you still harbor old sentints for humans, but from the mont you mutated, we were destined not to be on the sa path as them."
During their conversation, they had reached the bottom of the Abyss. Wei Cang eagerly approached them, first checking the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor to make sure it was alright, then looking towards Zhou Bai with anticipation.
"Nice to et you, Zhou Bai. I am Wei Cang. The Dark Lady must have told you about . Do you want to check on your mutation?"
Zhou Bai replied with visible aversion, "No need, I don't like being examined."
Christina spoke in his mind, "Zhou Bai, it's been 40 minutes. What's your plan? Aren't you going to reverse ti?"
Zhou Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, "I won't reverse ti. I've finally managed to infiltrate their ranks and can do a lot now. I can even take this opportunity to learn much about the Heavenly Demons' secrets, and this can't be done in a short period."
Christina asked, "Ah? So how long do you plan to stay?"
Zhou Bai did so quick calculations and said, "Four or five days should do. During this ti, I'll seize every opportunity to collect information on the Heavenly Demons. Then there's stirring up conflict between Tina and the Heavenly Demons, getting them to fight among themselves. That way, the Heavenly Demons naturally won't have the energy to wage war against the human race."
Christina exclaid in surprise, "Can you really do that?"
Zhou Bai replied, "There's a good chance. After all, Tina doesn't seem to be truly loyal to the Heavenly Demon right now. As long as we force her to turn or pretend to, the Heavenly Demon will inevitably turn against her. After all, Tina's abilities can be used to fight humans as well as to help them.
I already have a general idea of how to do this."
"You've already figured out a way?" Christina's eyes widened as she spoke, "It's always you fighters who think of the dirtiest tactics. I can't keep up with your thoughts."
On the other side, Wei Cang suggested, "Why not test your abilities? We might have a way to enhance them."
Zhou Bai thought about it and nodded in agreent, then went on to demonstrate his Catastrophe Domain abilities – the Mosaic of Ugly Disaster, Poor Disaster, and the power of the Catastrophe Domain.
Of course, Zhou Bai deliberately concealed the strength of his abilities and didn't use his full power.
These three abilities were also sothing Tina and the Heavenly Demon Sect could fully summarize from their past few battles, so Zhou Bai wasn't afraid to demonstrate them once again.
While releasing the Catastrophe Domain, Zhou Bai also cast the Black Abyss Malaise onto Wei Cang and the Mysterious Lady.
Looking at the large swath of Black Abyss Malaise beneath Wei Cang's feet, about the size of a truck, and the palm-sized Black Abyss Malaise beneath the Mysterious Lady's feet, Zhou Bai realized that Wei Cang still harbored strong hostility toward him, but Tina's hostility was almost negligible.
What surprised Zhou Bai even more was the aura of destiny he saw surrounding Tina after he activated the Catastrophe Domain.
Zhou Bai had seen many people's destinies; most ordinary people's destiny was just ordinary white, turning black gradually after being consud.
For soone slightly more impressive, like Xu Dela, it would be milky white.
The most impressive destiny Zhou Bai had ever seen was probably that of the Immortal Ming Yue, a purplish-red color.
But at that mont, Zhou Bai saw streams of green qi flowing continuously from Tina, not far away. These streams of qi touched the sky and earth, surging upward as if they were going to break through everything and shoot straight into the heavens.
The instant he saw these green streams, four characters flashed through Zhou Bai's mind: "Favored by Heavenly Dao."
Although he didn't know what the green color of the destiny represented, with the Catastrophe Primordial Spirit, Zhou Bai could instinctively feel that this destiny seed even more terrifying than Immortal Ming Yue's.
With the ergence of the Black Abyss Malaise, a strand of that green destiny swiftly flew from Tina's body and was absorbed by Zhou Bai into his sea of consciousness.
In an instant, Zhou Bai felt that the Catastrophe Primordial Spirit's capacity to bear destiny had reached a limit, and it vibrated in an unprecedented manner, seemingly excited by that strand of green destiny.
So Zhou Bai quickly found an excuse to rest for a while.
After Zhou Bai left to rest, the Mysterious Lady approached a large array of chanical devices with screens. Her eyes flashed with countless pieces of data, and a cascade of data stread across the screens in front of her.
It seed that the Mysterious Lady was using the super-large machinery to do so work.
This was because her body had been filled with the Heavenly Demon organization's influence after Xing Jun, the Heavenly Demon, had reincarnated her, enabling her to contact, communicate, and utilize the Heavenly Demon's chanical creations through the thods of the Heavenly Demon.
While she was working, she suddenly felt a chill on her back as if sothing cold and eerie had set its sights on her.
Turning around, the Mysterious Lady found that Zhou Bai had sohow beco like a gecko clinging to the wall, staring at her with dead fish eyes, giving her the creeps.
Zhou Bai said, "Oh, don't mind , keep doing your thing."
The Mysterious Lady frowned, 'Why... do I have a feeling that's both familiar and disgusting?'
