Amid the blizzard, Wei Cangsheng threw another punch at Zhou Bai through the air, executing three consecutive punches, each carrying the weight of mountains and rivers, yet further ascending with the expectations of rearranging the very same.
It was as if the nation was collapsing and the world in chaos, then with a single command, they gathered to reverse the universe and recreate the mountains and rivers.
Wei Cangsheng's continuous three punches through the air, coupled with the impact of the punch's intent, were enough to severely injure a cultivator's mental will and even plant a fervent seed in the opponent's heart, gradually twisting their mind.
However, Zhou Bai and Christina were different. Even though Christina controlled Zhou Bai's physical body, her Primordial Spirit was not as formidable as Zhou Bai's.
Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit was not only powerful but his sea of consciousness also possessed defenses augmented by Tang Ruhai and contaminated shell, his will was exceptionally firm, not easily swayed by others.
Under the onslaught of the punch's intent, Zhou Bai bellowed and met the punch head-on. With an explosion of eight thousand points of Primordial Spirit power, along with the addition of Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor, it was as if he was altering the heavens and the earth with brute force. His punch dispersed the blizzard within a thousand-meter radius.
If Wei Cangsheng's will was akin to a nation shattered, bursting forth from extreme sorrow, intending to regather the human race's strength and reorder the mountains and seas,
Then Zhou Bai intended to disperse the blizzard with his own strength, altering the heavens and the earth with his own power.
Wei Cangsheng, "Zhou Bai, no matter how strong you are, you are but one man. Do you really think you can change the world with your mere individual strength?"
Zhou Bai, "Indeed! I intend to challenge this world with my own strength."
Wei Cangsheng, "Arrogant!"
Accompanying Wei Cangsheng's voice, the change in celestial phenomena became even more intense. Skies filled with thunder and hail continued to fall, with Wei Cangsheng's Sword Qi constantly leaping within, attacking Zhou Bai as if omnipresent, penetrating everywhere.
Zhou Bai, continuously hit by the Sword Qi, punched out again, dispersing the pervasive storm, gloom, and thunder. His Primordial Spirit power burst forth repeatedly, dispersing the celestial phenomena time after time.
Wei Cangsheng's punch's intent struck Zhou Bai's heart and mind repeatedly, stirring his will.
While directly attacking with punch's intent, Wei Cangsheng also spoke, attempting to verbally attack Zhou Bai's moral heart.
Wei Cangsheng, "Zhou Bai, I embody the heavens and earth, the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, the clouds, snow, fog, and frost are all me. Even if your strength is immense, can you really defeat the heavens and earth which are omnipresent?"
Zhou Bai let out a long howl, the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword's gravity combined with eight thousand points of Primordial Spirit power converged in his palm.
His punch, like a dramatic change in weather, formed a massive sphere of energy that suddenly burst and soared. The shockwave his fist created in striking the air blew away all the clouds and rain from the entire arena, turning the moment into a clear sky.
Zhou Bai, "Then I shall make the heavens and earth operate by my will!"
The next moment, accompanied by the collision of their wills and Primordial Spirit power, fierce winds suddenly arose, and two figures violently collided.
The fists of both men collided like two mountains, creating bursts of air explosions. The celestial phenomena within thousands of meters swept away, revealing a bright clear sky.
At the same time, Wei Cangsheng's right arm shattered violently under Zhou Bai's brute force.
Zhou Bai unexpectedly watched the scene: "Real body?"
Not only the real body, but the opponent's body was also much more fragile than he imagined, like a suit of iron armor which, upon touch, revealed an interior that had long been thoroughly rotten, fragile as paper.
Zhou Bai was shocked: 'Was he just fighting Christina with that body?'
Simultaneously, taking advantage of the close combat exchange of fists, Wei Cangsheng's other hand pointed directly at Zhou Bai's eyes.
Zhou Bai didn't dodge; he even headbutted directly, knowing the opponent couldn't hurt him and even if injured, he could heal with idle energy values.
The eyeball and sword finger collided harshly. As Zhou Bai thought, his eyeball remained unharmed, whereas the opponent's finger shattered inch by inch, the blood spraying onto Zhou Bai's eyes.
"This is…" Zhou Bai felt a burning sensation from his eyes, covered them suddenly, and retreated.
Theoretically, the opponent, even at full strength, couldn't hurt his eyes, let alone mere blood.
But the blood was scorchingly hot like magma, immediately burrowing into Zhou Bai's eyeball, and even idle energy value healing was ineffective.
Zhou Bai suddenly looked up at Wei Cangsheng: "What have you done?!"
He saw that Wei Cangsheng's hands were disabled and one of his eyeballs had disappeared, leaving only a dark hole.
Just now, he had refined his Demon Illuminating Eye into essence blood and injected it into Zhou Bai's eyes.
Wei Cangsheng sighed, "It's a pity, I've reached my limit. I really wanted to fight you at my peak."
Shaking his head and dispelling the look of regret on his face, he slowly transmitted his thoughts to Zhou Bai, "Before climbing onto this stage, I didn't have long to live. The God of Thunder commanded me to kill you, claiming it would extend my life for a few years, but I didn't believe them."
Zhou Bai frowned, completely unaware of the opponent's circumstances.
At this point, Wei Cangsheng smiled, "These heavenly gods really underestimate people. They're accustomed to being high above, living for hundreds and thousands of years, and controlling everything in their long lives."
"They thought I would choose life extension first, like them, and then take charge of the human race's revival."
"But how could I possibly trust them?"
"And they will never understand, I am human, not a god—I don't fear death like they do."
A sneer appeared on Wei Cangsheng's face, "Death is part of us; we've faced too much death from the barbaric era to the great battles between humans and demons. What we rely on isn't immortal gods, but the legacy passed down through generations. If I am not able, then it should be passed to the next person."
"Zhou Bai, I've passed the Demon Illuminating Eye to you, along with other things; use this eye to really see what this world is like."
"One day you will understand what I'm saying today, there is no peace between humans and demons..."
On the platform, Xiang Tiandi coldly asked, "What about the restrictions on his body?"
Zi Yang True Monarch sighed, "He… he didn't take the elixir and was about to die. With his current condition, even if we activated the restrictions, they wouldn't kill Zhou Bai."
Tan Ruhai sneered, "This guy has been acting all along; he never trusted us."
Xiang Tiandi closed his eyes, "Well, after all the schemes and trickery, it seems we still have to reveal our true abilities."
In the space-time of Daluo Heaven, Zhou Bai looked at Wei Cangsheng in front of him, surprised, "Were you… deliberately seeking death just now? Why?"
Wei Cangsheng smiled and looked towards the sky, "It's a pity. If only I had a few more days…"
The other stood motionless, his life slowly slipping away.
Zhou Bai sighed, feeling complex emotions while his mind flashed back to the words just spoken.
'Did the heavenly gods awaken Ji Wuchang and secretly send him to participate in the Daluo Heaven debate?'
'Did they change their minds halfway and send him to kill me? What was the original purpose of sending Ji Wuchang?'
'Why do the gods also want to kill me?'
The power of his Primordial Spirit swept up, removing the body from the Daluo Heaven debate. Immediately, staff approached to take away the body of Wei Cangsheng.
But as Zhou Bai looked at the staff before him, he suddenly covered his right eye, shocked at what he saw.
Through his right eye, all the staff in front of him had transformed into various pig heads, fish heads, or bodies covered in scales or fur.
The next moment, he forcefully closed his right eye, using only his left eye to look at the staff in front of him—everything returned to normal.
Realizing something, Zhou Bai lifted his head, opened his right eye, and looked towards the entire arena.
Seeing the chaotic scene akin to a wild dance of demons, Zhou Bai quickly covered his right eye, stopping the vision brought by the Demon Illuminating Eye.
