Zhou Bai let out a cold snort, extending a finger, and the Ice Soul Freeze Light was suddenly activated, causing a 10-ter radius to halt abruptly for 0.1 seconds.
Within that fleeting 0.1-second halt, Zhou Bai viciously kicked towards Xiang Tiandi's face, like the main cannon of a battleship firing, crashing with overwhelming force into Xiang Tiandi's face.
At the very mont Xiang Tiandi was sent flying, the power of Kuang Tu activated, a second wave of force exploded on his face, sending him flying once more.
Xiang Tiandi let out a cry like an eagle, transforming into a golden light that dive-bombed towards Zhou Bai, carrying an unyielding, destructive montum.
But in Zhou Bai's eyes, Xiang Tiandi's current display was rely fleeting brilliance, as he wasn't a peerless genius like Zhou Bai, so how could his injuries possibly recover so quickly?
After several rounds of intense clashes, Xiang Tiandi's strength waned again, his hoarse voice barely issuing a claw-strike, easily countered and pinned by Zhou Bai, who then grabbed his head, slamming it onto the Heavenly Arena with a loud crash.
Xiang Tiandi struggled wildly, his wings transforming into countless light swords, relentlessly sweeping at Zhou Bai's body.
Zhou Bai held Xiang Tiandi's head firmly, continuously increasing his strength, the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword pressed vigorously against his head, thrusting it downward with force.
Accompanied by his head gradually deforming, Xiang Tiandi's struggles grew weaker until they ceased entirely.
"Xiang Tiandi! You've lost!"
As Zhou Bai's furious shout echoed, the entire venue fell silent once more.
Zhou Bai tossed aside Xiang Tiandi's corpse, shouting triumphantly to the sky, "Who else dares to et their death?"
The projection had long since been turned off, yet most people on-site could still see the solitary, towering figure on the platform.
Watching that figure shout skyward with thunderous resonance, seeing the Immortals bound and gods hesitant to take the stage.
Seeing Xiang Tiandi's figure collapse on the ground, slowly fading away, just like the earlier Tu Guishen, Immortal Ming Yue, and Li Xiuzhu.
The venue sank into an eerie silence and stillness, even though six Immortals and deities were present, none took action.
On Wanxian Island, Tianyangzi, Immortal Qin, and Wu Wei Immortal quietly stood together, casting peculiar glances at Jiu Xiao Marshal, True Lord Yan, and True Lord Tanlang on the other side.
Jiu Xiao Marshal, True Lord Tanlang, and True Lord Yan exchanged glances, their expressions shifting, seeming to communicate silently among themselves.
Their respective positions were distinctly defined, like an undercurrent circulating amongst the clouds and within the crowd.
The cultivators on the ground bore varied expressions, their faces showing strange countenances.
Soone tearfully muttered, "Marshal Xiang has fallen..."
Soone else questioned, "Just now... was Marshal Xiang's final transformation like Sky Flipping Sect's monstrosity..."
Zhang Tianxin sharply retorted, halting the speaker, "Don't speak nonsense, Marshal Xiang was sched against by Zhou Bai, leading to his abomination."
So were grieving, so were fearful, so were curious, while others sought to reassure.
In the sky, the tense atmosphere among the six Immortals and deities grew increasingly strained, as if an ever-tightening string would snap at any mont.
anwhile, in the VIP audience area, Xiang Tiandi had returned to human form, silently eting the eyes of Tu Guishen, Immortal Ming Yue, Li Xiuzhu, and others, unsure of what to say.
Xiang Tiandi: "..."
Tu Guishen, Immortal Ming Yue: "..."
Li Xiuzhu suddenly chuckled, explaining, "The Heavenly Arena doesn't actually cause death, once it's over we'll all return in perfect condition, except for the technique or martial art drawn by the arena."
Xiang Tiandi's face turned extrely somber, clenching and relaxing his hands repeatedly, his emotions in his eyes wildly fluctuating, lost in thoughts unknown.
Li Xiuzhu continued, "Tu Guishen, Ming Yue, I'll assu you Immortals truly weren't aware of this fact. I can responsibly tell you, there are definitely demons among the Four Departnts' true gods, the Heavenly Departnt even raises god-level demons as subordinates to handle so dirty work."
Ming Yue and Tu Guishen were currently a tangled ss of emotions, always believing themselves to be on the sa side, united to eradicate demons and fight against the Heavenly Demon, yet Xiang Tiandi turned out to be a demon.
Tu Guishen glared at Xiang Tiandi, coldly demanding, "What exactly is going on? Why do you have demon bloodlines? Are there really other demons in the Four Departnts of the Celestial Court? Does the God Emperor know about this?"
Xiang Tiandi, of course, didn't answer, not uttering a single word, rely turning his head away, his eyes still flickering with demonic lightning.
Immortal Ming Yue suppressed the fury within, asking, "Li Xiuzhu, when exactly does this arena end?"
Li Xiuzhu bore a smile of ambiguous aning, slowly replying, "Soon... soon..."
At this mont on the Heavenly Arena, Zhou Bai still stood alone, domineeringly commanding the stage, with no one willing to step forward to contest him.
Due to Xiang Tiandi's demonic bloodline being exposed, the relationships among the six Immortals and deities on-site had suddenly beco taut, and in addition to Zhou Bai's displayed strength, no one was willing to take the stage and challenge Zhou Bai at this mont.
At this ti, a wave of black tide swept across the sky, countless black mist gathered together, forming the figure of Heavenly Lord of Plague.
She had planned to co over and check on this side after the mishap at the 07th Original Tao Storehouse.
But upon seeing the scene before her, she paused slightly, then looked towards Zhou Bai who stood alone on the Heavenly Arena, her voice stern as she asked, "Where is Xiang Tiandi?"
Beside her, Jiu Xiao Marshal's mouth opened and closed, conveying a brief update on the situation through sound transmission.
Listening to the explanation, Heavenly Lord of Plague's facial expressions changed continuously, finally looking at Zhou Bai with a mix of shock and anger, eventually deciding not to move nor take the stage to fight Zhou Bai.
At this mont, Zhou Bai, although detestable, was not their imdiate concern.
Heavenly Lord of Plague thought to herself: 'The urgent matter at hand is still concerning Wanxian Island...'
In the palace, Tu Tianmo looked at the scene in astonishnt, his eyes seemingly ignited with raging flas, "The crowd rendered helpless, not one of the seven Immortals and deities dares to stand. To beco such a powerful person... even if it ans dying imdiately, it's worth it."
Thus, amid Zhou Bai's smile, in the ensuing tranquility, he finally withstood the duration of the Heavenly Arena, becoming the last victor.
The entire platform began shimring with light before gradually disappearing, with a torrent of text erging from the void and directly pouring into Zhou Bai's body.
Zhou Bai let out a muffled grunt, feeling as though his head was being stirred by a stick, with a plethora of unlearned Tao techniques and martial arts flooding his mind.
Li Xiuzhu's Great Sky Flipping Fist Intent, Immortal Ming Yue's Qi Sea Myriad Weapons with Invisible Evil, Tu Guishen's Purple Qi Casting Light Sword, Xiang Tiandi's Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique... Plus the various Tao techniques and martial arts of over two hundred cultivators defeated prior by Li Xiuzhu.
As Zhou Bai was imbued with martial arts and Tao techniques, the phantoms of Li Xiuzhu, Tu Guishen, Immortal Ming Yue, and Xiang Tiandi gradually began to materialize, solidifying into tangible forms.
...
anwhile, inside Donghua City.
Zhou Bai (Twisted Shadow) walked with a heavy expression towards the library's location.
His purpose in coming here was obviously to search for the "Miscellaneous Tales of the Four Seas" ntioned by Dr. Zhuang, to find clues about the 08th Original Tao Storehouse, and also to see what exactly Dr. Zhuang ant by so-called facts.
'If I manage to locate the 08th Original Tao Storehouse while the great battle rages, and even obtain the 08th, 09th, and 10th all at once... my strength will then have zero bottlenecks.'
Beside Zhou Bai, Xuannu stared dazedly at Zhou Bai's face. Despite being gravely injured, relentlessly pursued by the Heavenly Lord of Plague, anticipating the harshening pressure of Heaven's chase on them... predicting the possibility of intervention by even the God Emperor and Celestial Venerable...
Yet Xuannu rely gazed at Zhou Bai's countenance, her mind repeatedly recalling the mont he rescued her. Concepts like abominations, humanity, and the Celestial Court seed to dissipate from her mind.
All Xuannu could think was: 'Even if I'm to stand against the world, as long as I'm alongside Zhou Bai at this mont, I have lived without regret. Should Zhou Bai's true form fall in battle surrounded by Immortals and deities, then I shall accompany him to the end.'
