Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 480 - 479 The Descent of the Heavenly God Emperor
Zhou Bai adjusted to his body, then grabbed the stranger lying beside him and threw him into a deserted alley. When the man woke up, he would not remember what had happened to him, as Zhou Bai had thoroughly suppressed his Primordial Spirit consciousness without any interaction.
However, when it came to Cang Ming, Zhou Bai was not planning to do the same. He had many pieces of information to ask from him. frёewebnoѵēl.com
So, after returning to the bedroom, he focused his attention to the Sea of Consciousness, looking at Cang Ming's Primordial Spirit in a corner. With a faint smile, Zhou Bai withdrew the pollution released by the Idiocy Spell and tried to start communicating with Cang Ming.
On the other side, Cang Ming only remembered flashes of crazed images, chaotic scenes, and the enticing whispers.
When rationality reclaimed the high ground in his consciousness, he felt as though he could see nothing, hear nothing, feel nothing, and was surrounded by endless darkness.
Just then, he felt an overwhelming force envelop him, and a deep male voice directly entered his consciousness.
"Cang Ming, can you hear me?"
Cang Ming: "Who are you? What happened to me?"
The next moment, a figure radiating white light appeared before him—it was a man.
Although there were many men in the world, and Cang Ming had seen countless men from childhood, this particular man still left a deep impression on him.
The man had just one distinguishing feature: handsomeness.
Apart from being handsome, he seemed to have no other special traits.
The man looked at him and started murmuring softly.
"Huh? What did you say?" Cang Ming had to listen carefully as the other's voice was too soft. Only then did he hear what the man was saying.
"I am handsome... I am handsome... I am handsome... I am handsome..."
Muttering those three words quickly, indistinctly, almost like a mantra, Cang Ming found it strange, but looking at the man, he had to admit he was right.

…
Zhou Bai sensed Cang Ming's Primordial Spirit go from lively to calm, from calm to sluggish, and then finally spoke slowly: "I am the Supreme Divine Emperor. I've been severely injured by the Heavenly Demon Empress, and now I must hide my true name and recover in secret."
"If you help me now, once my cultivation is fully restored and I take back the Heavenly Court, I will appoint you as the Grand Marshal of the world's armies."
After hearing this, Cang Ming paused for a moment, then fell silent.
Zhou Bai was a bit startled: "Hmm? He doesn't believe it? Even after I've reduced his intelligence so much, is Cang Ming originally that clever?"
Just as Zhou Bai was considering spinning a different lie, Cang Ming's Primordial Spirit suddenly trembled: "I... I remember now, the Supreme Divine Emperor! Isn't that the leader of the Heavenly Court? Can you really make me the Grand Marshal of the world's armies?"
Zhou Bai breathed a sigh of relief: 'It seems I reduced it too much, and he's slow to react.'
Zhou Bai nodded and said, "Of course. But you must help me restore my cultivation first."
Cang Ming nodded nonstop: "Okay, okay."
Zhou Bai continued, "First, tell me, do you know if Evil Sect recently brought back some treasure from the wilderness?"
"Wilderness? Treasure?" Cang Ming pondered, and after a moment, he said, "It seems there was such an incident, brought back by Sun Jingping from the outside."
Zhou Bai quickly asked, "Who is Sun Jingping?"
Cang Ming: "He... He is our Evil Sect's Saint Heir who recently returned. But it is said that he has perfected our sect's highest secret arts, the Yama Golden Body and Apocalypse."
Zhou Bai was slightly startled: 'The Evil Sect's Saint Heir?'
This was information Lin Muqing had not mentioned to him before.
After a series of inquiries with Cang Ming, Zhou Bai gradually learned what the Evil Sect's Saint Heir was all about.
The Saint Heir of the Evil Sect had always been a position within the sect, reserved for the most outstanding and exceptional talents of the generation who inherited the Netherworld bloodline, giving them the best conditions for cultivation.
However, after the demise of the previous Saint Heir, Wei Mang, the new heir had gone missing.
Until a month ago, the Evil Sect had only announced internally that the Saint Heir had returned.
And even now, only key members like Cang Ming were aware of Sun Jingping's identity as the Saint Heir.
"Sun Jingping? Is this the kid who took my 'Primordial Dao Treasury 05'?" Zhou Bai narrowed his eyes, then continued, "The treasure obtained by Sun Jingping must be the Tai Chi Diagram that I lost outside Nanshan City after I was seriously injured."
"This Tai Chi Diagram can only be controlled and commanded by me; if others tamper with it recklessly, they might twist and lose control of its power, which could potentially lead to the destruction of the entire Nanshan City."
"Moreover, without the Tai Chi Diagram, I can't recover my cultivation, and I won't be able to ascend to the Heavenly Court again."
Cang Ming: "..."
As Zhou Bai looked at Cang Ming's Primordial Spirit, seeing the latter's delayed response, a bad feeling rose in his heart: "Damn, did I go overboard? Is he stunned now?"
After waiting for a few minutes, Cang Ming finally continued where Zhou Bai left off, "The whole Nanshan City will be destroyed? What... What should we do?"
Zhou Bai breathed a sigh of relief, "You need to help me retrieve the Tai Chi Diagram."
Cang Ming readily agreed, "Okay."
...
On a massive training ground of the Evil Sect.
One could see Sun Jingping standing proudly mid-air, his body radiating a faint golden glow as if he were a Buddha or a deity from mythological tales.
Simultaneously, chains made of Taibai Essence Gold, which had been cast and refined hundreds of times and engraved with various reinforced runes, were bound around his hands, feet, torso, and neck, incredibly sturdy in their make.
At the other end of these chains, each one was tied to a blue Jiao dragon over ten meters long, lying quietly on the ground, motionless.
Sun Jingping said indifferently, "Begin. Let them loose."
The Evil Sect practitioners who had been suppressing the Jiao dragons removed the restraints, and suddenly the nine blue Jiao dragons slowly began to move. Once they realized that no one was stopping them, they roared furiously and soared into the sky, intent on scattering and fleeing.
The simultaneous burst of power from the nine blue Jiao was strong enough to shatter mountains, destroy cities, and obliterate fortresses.
But at this moment, accompanied by a series of thrumming sounds, every chain was pulled taut. Sun Jingping at the end of the nine chains remained unmoved, appearing like a pillar holding up the heavens, unaffected by the dragons' pulling strength.
Roar, roar, roar!
After being bound and restrained by chains, unable to break free for a long time, several blue Jiao appeared increasingly irritable and angry.
Finally, one turned around and viciously bit towards Sun Jingping, who was pulling on them.
Its teeth, sharp as swords, struck fiercely against Sun Jingping's golden skin, but amidst the grating sound, Sun Jingping remained unscathed, not even flinching as he extended a fist and thudded it onto the blue Jiao's head.
Ao! With an agonized scream, the blue Jiao's ferocity intensified, and it began to bite madly. The other eight Jiao dragons seemed impacted as well, and they all rushed toward Sun Jingping.
Faced with this sight, Sun Jingping's face remained undisturbed, like the stillness of an ancient well. With just a cold snort, he opened his mouth, and amidst a thunderous shout, a tumultuous surge of air mixed with golden light erupted from his mouth.
The nine blue Jiao screamed as they collapsed to the ground, their heads bursting one after another, blood splashing all over Sun Jingping.
Having burst the nine blue Jiao with a single shout, Sun Jingping nodded with satisfaction and casually ordered, "Drag them away to be cooked. The students are getting an extra meal today."
Witnessing Sun Jingping's brutal appearance bathed in blood, the surrounding practitioners were both shocked and scared.
Although these blue Jiao hadn't cultivated, their physical bodies were at the level of a 6th realm Body Refining practitioner.
The critical point was their colossal stature; with such volume and weight, the force they could generate, even if slightly weaker in strength, might surpass even a 7th realm Body Refining practitioner in terms of physical power.
Yet they couldn't even drag Sun Jingping an inch, and then he easily burst them with a single shout.
A practitioner immediately said with respect, "Congratulations, senior brother, your Yama Golden Body has made further progress."
Sun Jingping did not speak, merely scanning his body with the power of his Primordial Spirit, and in doing so, confirmed something.
'My insights from the 'Primordial Dao Treasury' are correct.'
'My Yama Golden Body and the Cataclysmic Heavenly Calamity have begun to merge.'
'Heaven aids me, truly heaven aids me. If I can completely merge these two Supreme Divine Powers, what are immortals and gods? What is the Heavenly Demon? I will be the strongest. The human race shall revive under my hand.'
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Sun Jingping couldn't help scratching his neck again. For some reason, he felt itchier and more compelled to scratch.
