Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 397 - 396 Black Sword (Thanks to the alliance leader of ’Tianyuan Seas’ for the reward)
The group headed by the wolf watched the flying sword battling the Heavenly Demon in the sky, continuously assessing the flying sword's combat strength.
"This flying sword is very fast. Most of the Heavenly Demon's attacks can't touch it."
"However, the flying sword's destructive power seems a bit weak. After fighting for so long, only a few Heavenly Demons have died."
"I'm afraid the flying sword's own power is about to run out, hence the inadequate destructive force. We'll look for an opportunity to catch that flying sword in a bit."
The leader suddenly frowned, "What's concerning me are those black mires. What exactly are they? Why are they everywhere? They seem to have no attack power at all. What are they?"
A team member said, "It doesn't seem very powerful, anyway. We might as well take the opportunity to capture it while this Nine Realms Flying Sword is weakened."
The leader nodded, "Wait for the right moment, succeed in one strike. This flying sword is too fast; we absolutely cannot let it have the chance to escape."
Hearing this, everyone else was envious. A Nine Realms Flying Sword, placed in any of the four great sects, could be used as a treasure to uphold the sect. They didn't expect to come across one like this for free.
Meanwhile, Zhou Bai was channeling his Primordial Spirit through the flying sword, carefully maneuvering the Geng Metal Sword Technique within this group of level 1 and 2 Heavenly Demons, controlling the rhythm of the battle so as to neither let the demons harm him nor let himself harm too many Heavenly Demons.
At the same time, the Catastrophe Domain opened, and clumps of black mire continuously formed within the group of Heavenly Demons, harvesting strands of fate into his Primordial Spirit.
'Who would have thought these Heavenly Demons would retreat to such a distant place? What exactly are they planning? Giving up their previous territory?'
Zhou Bai didn't understand what the Heavenly Demons were thinking, but anyhow, he first wanted to absorb a wave of fate, then figure out how to dispose of these Heavenly Demons.
'After absorbing this batch of fate, I should reach my limit. Next, I need to find a place to properly assimilate this haul of fate.'
Just then, 8 figures suddenly burst into the midst of the group of Heavenly Demons, closing in on Zhou Bai from the front, back, left, and right.
At this very moment, Zhou Bai was in the center of the group of Heavenly Demons, surrounded by them densely. Various bombings and explosions were occurring almost every second.
In such a situation, it was impossible for the flying sword to break free at full speed.
This ambush was timed with extreme precision.
Seizing this rare opportunity, the leader threw out a big red net, and one could see the Primordial Spirit energy of all 8 people merging and infusing into it. The red net instantly expanded, enveloping Zhou Bai with its overwhelming presence.
Zhou Bai was startled inside, "Who are these people? How did they appear here?"
"Could they have mistaken my flying sword for a Heavenly Demon? A distortion phenomenon? Or an ownerless flying sword?" Zhou Bai couldn't help but bitterly smile, knowing his current situation indeed appeared easily misunderstood.
With that in mind, he didn't think of striking heavily, just directed the flying sword, slashing repeatedly toward the net that was closing in on him.
Swish, swish, swish, dozens of Sword Qi strikes landed, but upon reaching the red net, it felt like they made no impact. The net exuded a strong tenacity, and the Geng Metal Flying Sword seemingly could not break through it.
Zhou Bai thought to himself, 'Huh? Is this a level 5 or level 6 treasure? Or is it because all 8 of them infused their Primordial Spirit energy into it? No wonder my level 3 Geng Metal Flying Sword can't cut through.'
"Good!" The leader was overjoyed inside, 'This Nine Realms Flying Sword really is at the end of its rope, unable to break even my level 5 treasure, the Heaven and Earth Net.'
"Capture!"

The leader formed hand seals, and the Heaven and Earth Net shone with a series of red flashes as the other 7 people poured their Primordial Spirit energy into it with all their might. The entire net quickly contracted.
The flying sword was soon enveloped by the Heaven and Earth Net, shrinking to the size of an ordinary person. Triumph flashed across their faces—it was unexpectedly easy to capture the flying sword.
"We've succeeded!"
At that moment, they saw trails of black mire appear beneath their feet out of nowhere, wrapping towards their bodies.
The Gui Hai Black Sha was generated according to the hostility of others, the stronger the hostility, the more Gui Hai Black Sha appeared.
These cultivators were all intent on capturing Zhou Bai's Geng Metal Flying Sword, and thus, a significant amount of Gui Hai Black Sha appeared, generating in truckloads every second beneath their feet.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with black mire, some of it wrapping around the cultivators attacking Zhou Bai, some enveloping the red Heaven and Earth Net.
"What is this stuff? It stinks!"
"This black mire is corroding my Primordial Spirit energy."
"Not good! The flying sword is escaping its confines!"
The black mire shrouding the Heavenly Net rapidly corroded the Primordial Spirit power on it completely clean.
Zhou Bai, who once performed Gui Hai Hei Sha and snatched the Blood God Chain from Cang Ming's grasp, was extremely familiar with the power of Gui Hai Hei Sha. While it might not seem significant against the Heavenly Demon, it was unmatched in battles against cultivators and seizing magical artifacts.
With one blow, Zhou Bai broke through the Heavenly Net, and the flying sword shot up into the sky, its Primordial Spirit power radiating outwards, shaking the air as if several bolts of Pi Li had been thrown out of thin air.
"Damn it! This flying sword looks weak, but who would have thought it could summon black mire and corrode Primordial Spirit power."
"This move is simply the bane of all magical artifacts in the world."
Wolf Head watched the flying sword intently, "This flying sword is too valuable, we must seize it! Everyone give it your all! An unclaimed flying sword, even if it's of the Ninth Realm, so what?"
As he spoke, the 8 cultivators stopped using their magical artifacts and instead turned to their martial arts and spells, besieging the flying sword from all directions.
The combined assault from the 8 cultivators at the 5th and 6th realm, fists and feet bursting with Qi Force, Thunder Fire spells, and streams of Sword Qi, seemed as if they could ignite the sky itself.
Zhou Bai heard Wolf Head's shout and frowned slightly, 'These guys really think of me as just a flying sword, trying to capture me?'
All sorts of colorful martial arts and spells bombarded him, and wherever they passed, level 1 and 2 Heavenly Demons were directly smashed into pieces, turning into a shower of components falling like raindrops.
The 8 cultivators, with their 5,000 to 6,000 Primordial Spirit power, fully unleashed their martial arts and spells. Even Zhou Bai couldn't take them lightly.
'Only a fool would clash head-on with you guys. Tina, today I'll teach you another move.' After finishing this thought in his mind, Zhou Bai then realized that Christina was not there, but in West Mountain City controlling his physical body.
The past year and more had accustomed him to Christina constantly being in his head.
'Sigh, Tina's not here, how inconvenient.'
As he spoke, Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit power had already covered the entire flying sword. At the same time, the black mire of Gui Hai surged up, tilting the sword into the black mire, and as the mire spread upwards, it transformed the free Geng Metal flying sword into a black blade.
In the next moment, the combined onslaught from the 8 people completely engulfed the Geng Metal flying sword, the fierce air currents, intense heat, vast swathes of thunder, and Sword Qi merging together, seemingly about to reduce everything to ash.
The surrounding Heavenly Demons were practically turned to dust in an instant.
But when the smoke cleared, the unharmed Geng Metal flying sword was revealed, still enveloped by Gui Hai Hei Sha. It was Zhou Bai in his Primordial Spirit state who initiated Tang Ru Shan.
And with the Primordial Spirit in Tang Ru Shan state wrapping around the sword, it unexpectedly served to protect the flying sword.
Seeing the unmoving Geng Metal flying sword, the crowd questioned, "Did our attacks do anything?"
The next moment, they saw the flying sword surge forward, with a slash toward Wolf Head.
A cultivator opened his mouth to release a vast storm of fire that exploded towards the flying sword.
Simultaneously, another cultivator threw a punch with his spiritual intellect mingled with Primordial Spirit power, transforming into a palm the size of a truck, aggressively smacking down towards the flying sword.
Boom!
The all-out attack from two 5th realm cultivators hit the flying sword but didn't alter its trajectory at all, as if it had struck the earth itself; the sword continued inching downwards steadily, like the countdown of life itself.
Wolf Head bellowed, "Use the Hun Yuan Capture to suppress it together!"
Then, the eight cultivators' Primordial Spirit power rose up simultaneously, forming 8 giant multicolored hands that all reached toward the flying sword at once.
This Hun Yuan Capture was a very famous Primordial Spirit Taoism technique from the Plague Department of the heavenly courts. It involved collecting five types of severe poison essence, blending it into one's Primordial Spirit, and condensing a massive Primordial Spirit-powered hand capable of unleashing tremendous force. Members of the Plague Department were almost all proficient in it.
As the 8 of them launched the technique together, 8 multicolored hands appeared at once, instantly bursting forth with earth-shattering power. The surrounding air seemed to be compressed into a solid by this wild force, constantly crackling and exploding.
But as soon as the 8 Hun Yuan Capture hands touched the flying sword, they felt as if they had grasped not a sword, but a mountain in motion.
The intense backlash from the sword shook their Hun Yuan Capture hands, causing them to crack layer by layer.
Yet the flying sword remained unstoppable, inch by inch continuing its descent toward the team leader's head, as though nothing in heaven or earth could prevent this sword from slashing down.
The 8 of them exerted all their strength, yet they couldn't stop the momentum of the flying sword by the slightest bit, revealing a hint of shock in their eyes.
"Is this the power of the Ninth Realm flying sword? Too strong ... We can't even stop its movement."
