Calamity of Tomorrow
Chapter 587 587: 586 I think

Hearing Zhou Bai's words, Xiang Haocu gritted his teeth, "Such arrogance."

Even though Zhou Bai had just withstood a slash from Xiang Haocu, in Xiang's view, Zhou's statement was still far too haughty and presumptuous.

Xiang Haocu spoke coldly, "My Thunder Blade will show you your true limit."

The next moment, his Thunder Blade had already raised a ten-thousand-foot-long thunderous light, like a lightning storm sweeping towards Zhou Bai in front of him.

Xiang Haocu himself was completely enveloped in thunder, as if every piece of his flesh had turned into lightning.

During his incessant high-speed movement, the range of the electricity kept expanding, forming a lightning storm with a radius of thousands of kilometers, completely covering the area where Zhou Bai was located.

Boom!

The sound of hundreds, even thousands, of thunderclaps exploded simultaneously, and the blinding electric light flared up from the shadows, making it impossible for those present to clearly see the scene in the arena.

Shocked by the sight, Shen Hai, the son of the True Lord Greedy Wolf, said, "Has Xiang Haocu's Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique actually been cultivated to the point of 'Body to Thunder'?"

"What does that mean?" Wen He, the disciple of the Sun Lord, squinted at the increasingly blinding electric light and asked, "What is 'Body to Thunder'?"

As a faction of the Immortals on Wanxian Island and disciples of the Sun Lord, Wen He and the nearby Zhao Yue naturally did not understand as much about the affairs of Heaven's Four Divisions as Shen Hai did.

Hearing their conversation, Zhao Yue also looked over, obviously very curious about the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique, an untransmitted supreme method.

Shen Hai explained, "The Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique, according to legend, was a divine art used by ancient thunder gods to wield Heavenly Tribulation and slay demons. Legend has it that at its highest realm, one could transform into endlessly raging thunder between heaven and earth; as long as the thunders of the world do not extinguish, one would be undying and indestructible.

"Look at Xiang Haocu. By invoking a thunderstorm with the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique, he can now move and attack as if he were the thunder within the storm. However, the duration is short. After every three or four breaths, he has to return to his human form."

Looking closer, indeed, within the faint glimmer of lightning, one could see Xiang Haocu occasionally turning into electricity, roaming through the air.

His Thunder Blade moved swiftly along the lightning, as if it were a streak of electric light, shuttling back and forth, raising a myriad of thunders, slashing at Zhou Bai like a stormy rain.

"So fast!" Wen He praised, "The blade borrows the force of the thunder, and the thunder borrows the movement of the blade. Xiang Haocu's Thunder Blade, gathering the storm brought upon by the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique, is almost flawless."

"The blade technique, body movement, and divine method merge into one, almost indistinguishable from each other, like the thunder of the Nine Heavens sweeping away the demons," Shen Hai exclaimed sentimentally. "Has his Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique been cultivated to this level?"

But soon after everyone marveled at Xiang Haocu's combat prowess, a terrifying truth gradually became apparent and rose in their minds.

"Hey, that Zhou Bai..." Shen Hai said in disbelief, "How many slashes has he actually taken?"

Shen Hao cried out incredulously, "Why... why is he completely unharmed?!!"

...

Within the time-space of Daluo Heaven, Xiang Haocu turned into lightning, his Thunder Blade piercing the air again and again, with the thunderbolts slashing down on Zhou Bai's body.

Thunder Dragon!

The purple lightning was like tens of thousands of degrees of plasma, forming the shape of thunder dragons, carrying enough heat to melt gold and iron, piercing the void and ruthlessly striking Zhou Bai's chest. With a loud clang, Zhou Bai's chest remained completely unscathed.

Thunder Flash!

Then, with a turn of the thunder blade, it pierced through the air like lightning, and with a flash of purple electric light, it stabbed at Zhou Bai's waist. When the tip of the blade struck the Red Heavenly Armor, it felt as if an axe used for chopping wood had hit stone—it simply couldn't penetrate an inch.

Xiang Haocu's face darkened slightly as his figure suddenly dissipated, transforming into a stream of purple thunder, twisting and weaving through the air. In the blink of an eye, he arrived behind Zhou Bai. Accompanied by a purple lightning bolt more than a meter thick falling from the sky, his thunder blade ferociously slashed at Zhou Bai's back.

Furious Thunder Tears Sky!

Boom! Amidst the muffled sound, the Red Heavenly Armor remained intact. Instead, a powerful rebounding force travelled up the blade, trembling all the way to Xiang Haocu's hand, causing his blood to surge violently. His right hand, severely numb and tingling, almost couldn't hold onto the thunder blade.

"How could this be?" Xiang Haocu's eyes widened in shock. Since birth, he had never seen a mortal with such an astonishing ability to resist blows.

Watching Xiang Haocu's astonished gaze, Zhou Bai smiled slightly, "Are you wondering how there could be someone so strong?"

Xiang Haocu squinted his eyes and said, "I think there's no such thing as an invincible defense in this world."

Zhou Bai grinned, "It's not about what you think; your thoughts are irrelevant—it's about what I think. For example…"

Zhou Bai took a step and for the first time, his body, which had allowed Xiang Haocu to attack without moving, finally stirred.

This movement brought up gusts of wind and left afterimages, and in an instant, he cut into Xiang Haocu's side: "I think even so, you probably can't hurt me…"

As Zhou Bai suddenly closed the distance, Xiang Haocu's instinctive blade technique was abruptly unleashed. The thunder blade in his hand brought up a swath of plasma, stabbing towards Zhou Bai like a bolt of lightning.

Whoosh!

The blade tip struck directly at the position of Zhou Bai's heart, causing Xiang Haocu to slightly startle, "What's going on? I should have struck his wide-open abdomen, for fear that his chest would be blocked by his hands..."

He suddenly came to a realization, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes, "…this guy…deliberately presented his vital heart area to me!!"

Boom! Blocking Xiang Haocu's blade that was as fast as lightning with his uninjured chest, Zhou Bai chuckled and rushed toward Xiang Haocu again: "Let's try this spot again…"

Zhou Bai was seen time and again deliberately striking the vital parts of his body against Xiang Haocu's thunder blade.

It was as if someone had charged headfirst into a lightning storm, allowing the purple lightning to strike his body over and over again.

Yet, as Xiang Haocu continued to strike Zhou Bai's body in various places round after round, his heart grew more and more alarmed.

Throat… ineffective.

Jaw… ineffective.

Back… ineffective.

Abdomen… ineffective.

Joints… no effect whatsoever.

Xiang Haocu let out an angry roar, and amidst the thunder and lightning, his long blade had morphed into dozens of bolts of lightning, slashing ferociously at Zhou Bai's face.

Amidst the crackling crisp sounds, Zhou Bai's face was swept by the thunder blade, and the tip of the blade, along with a surge of plasma, viciously aimed at Zhou Bai's eye socket.

Covered under the Red Heavenly Armor, Zhou Bai's eyes were completely protected by a layer of red crystal. Engineered to preserve vision and even enhance various aspects of sight and tracking abilities, this layer of crystal was crafted with a special mix of crystal and an intricate structure of runes.
