Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 218 - 217 All Living Beings Destroyed by Me (Seeking Subscriptions at the Fourth Watch)

In the real world, Zhao Shouyi had been watching the changes on the screen, all revealing a look of surprise.

Old Snake showed a happy expression. "Who would have thought that this 72-hour continuous cultivation session would bring forth so many talented individuals?"

"Zuo Dao’s talent isn’t bad; he has already pushed to the fourth layer," Kuang Tu said. "Qian Wangsun, Lu Wanzhen, and Liu Bingxin are also quite good. They have now cultivated to the third layer or are about to finish the second layer. Before the time is up, they all have a chance to hit the fourth layer."

Ying Hui said, "The most impressive is still Zhou Bai." He smiled like a child. "Who could have thought that this guy could rush to the sixth layer?" After speaking, he looked at Old Snake with a cocky expression. "Didn’t someone say that his Sword Dao talent was no good?"

Old Snake snorted, "Thinking about it, it’s the Twilight Taoist Skill from the old era after all, which doesn’t have much to do with Sword Dao talent."

Zhou Shan interjected, "Lv Chongyang and Zuo Lu’s performance this time is also quite surprising. Especially Zuo Lu—he has already cultivated to the seventh layer. What kind of Array talent is this? Before the end of this 72-hour period, he might have a chance to reach the eighth layer, or even the ninth."

Zhao Shouyi nodded and said contentedly, "Zuo Lu and Chongyang have the chance to reach the eighth layer this time, and in the future, they will have a great chance to reach the tenth layer. Although Zhou Bai is a step behind, with continued hard cultivation, he also has a good chance to reach the tenth layer."

Little Pei sneered inwardly, a trace of desolation flashing in her eyes. "So what? In the end, they can’t cultivate the Five Divine Skills. Even after struggling with all their might, they’re still just ants."

In her mind, she couldn’t help but think of several seniors on the battlefield, who also had exceptional talents and had learned the Twilight Taoist Skill.

But even with the risk of grotesque side effects, they had still been torn to pieces by the Heavenly Demon army.

Every time she thought about this, Little Pei felt a chill throughout her body, a feeling of breathlessness in her chest.

On the other side, within the pit of flesh and blood, Christina, controlling Zhou Bai’s body, dared not move an inch: ’Hmph, Zhou Bai is going to put on a big show in a while and scare you all to death.’

’Uh... it’s so uncomfortable... how long has Zhou Bai’s body not been to the toilet... I feel so stifled...’

’Damn it, he’s carefree and joyful in the dream world, leaving me out here holding back the need to pee and poop.’

’I think I might as well just let it go, after all, it’s Zhou Bai’s reputation that’s getting tarnished.’

...

15 hours later, on the sixth layer beneath the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword, Zhou Bai, who was cultivating the Star River Forging Sword Technique, suddenly opened his eyes.

He saw countless stars converging before him, forming the shape of a sword.

The next moment the starlight dissipated, and Zhou Bai revealed a confident smile, "Star River Forging Sword Technique, success!"

He stepped forward, accompanied by a sky full of sword light, and had already entered the seventh layer.

Zhou Bai saw Lv Chongyang’s surprised face and said grinningly, "Old Lv, I’ve caught up again."

Lv Chongyang blinked and greeted Zhou Bai with an unchanged expression, but his eyes stealthily glanced at the time on the screen, 13:12:21.

"What’s going on in this kid’s head?" Lv Chongyang let out a sigh of relief inwardly. "But there’s still more than 13 hours left. I should be able to learn this seventh layer before the time is up. Zhou Bai, no matter how strong, couldn’t possibly learn this level in just 13 hours."

Lv Chongyang stroked his chin, "At least I won’t be caught up by a student at the end."

With this thought in mind, Lv Chongyang refocused on the cultivation before him, determined to break through before the end of the 72 hours.

Meanwhile, Zhou Bai had already turned his attention to the stele of this layer: "All Swords Broken by Me? To condense Supreme Sword Intent with the supreme sword techniques, and to break all the sword techniques in the world with Supreme Sword Intent?"

Zhou Bai thought to himself, "If the first three layers, ’All Swords Return to the Origin,’ ’Heaven and Earth Forge My Sword,’ and ’All Laws Nurture My Sword,’ are the moves of the sword, then the following ’Outer Heaven Flying Sword Technique,’ ’Stars Infuse Sword Technique,’ and ’Star River Forging Sword Technique’ are the power of the sword.

So now, it starts with Sword Intent?"

Zhou Bai had also seen descriptions of Sword Intent in the past. It was a force that could only be possessed after reaching a very high realm in the Sword Dao combined with the power of the Primordial Spirit.

Sword Intent was intangible and insubstantial, having almost no effect on the real world, yet it had the ability to harm the Primordial Spirit.

"Compared to the previous six levels, this Sword Intent is like a spiritual attack, right?"

Zhou Bai slowly walked toward the center of the stone platform and saw that the ground was covered with sword marks in all directions.

These sword marks continuously assailed Zhou Bai. To counter them, he had to follow the method of the Twilight Taoist Skill "All Swords Broken by Me" for this level, withstand the Sword Intent, then forge his own Sword Intent, and finally subdue the Sword Intent within the sword marks to master the skill.

However, looking at the time, 13:02:16, it was clear that there wasn’t enough time left for Zhou Bai to train.

So, he cultivated the Taoist skill while waiting for time to pass.

A few minutes later, a notification arrived from the aid panel: "Do you want to spend 148,000 laziness points to learn ’All Swords Broken by Me’?"

"It takes almost 150,000 laziness points to learn it?"

Zhou Bai looked at the aid panel, which still showed 640,000 laziness points—that was what he had accumulated from selling Primordial Dao Treasury 01 and saving up along the way.

He thought: ’Then I’ll cultivate for another 12 hours, just in case. With 1 hour left, I’ll use laziness points to see how high I can go.’

More than two hours later, Lv Chongyang looked up at the time, 10:38:18, and let out a light breath, feeling suddenly relieved.

"I’ve finally mastered it."

He turned to Zhou Bai with a smile: "I’m going ahead, Zhou Bai. You keep it up."

The next moment, he saw Lv Chongyang’s body transformed into a swath of sword light, completely vanishing from everyone’s presence.

...

In the real world, in front of the Great Elder.

Many teachers were looking at the final hours of the scores.

In the last few hours, it was very unlikely for people in the dream to make any more breakthroughs; this was almost certainly the final result.

"Qian Wangsun, Lu Wanzhen, and Liu Bingxin have all reached the fourth level. They show great potential and can be allowed to cultivate the Twilight Taoist Skill here in the future."

"Zuo Dao did even better; he actually pushed through to the fifth level at the last moment. He truly is a genius of the Zuo Family."

Zhao Shouyi commented: "Ah, what happened with Zheng Wentian? With his talent, how has he only reached the second level by now?"

Zhao Shouyi shook his head and then looked at the achievements of others: "Oh? Lin Muqing’s performance isn’t bad either. She entered the sixth level this time; her rank as the top of the special training class wasn’t in vain."

The Elder Snake said: "Lv Chongyang has improved again; he has learned up to the eighth level."

Zhao Shouyi’s eyes lit up: "Good."

Kuang Tu drew in a cold breath: "Look at Zuo Lu, this guy pushed to the ninth level. Isn’t his talent too terrifying?"

Zhao Shouyi said: "This kid must have had some adventures in the heavens."

"Don’t just look at the top," Ying Hui urged. "Look at Zhou Bai. Although he didn’t reach the heights of Lv Chongyang or Zuo Lu, he went from the first to the seventh level. He made the biggest leap of all."
