Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 490 - 489 Received Armor
Wei Cang's eyes bulged as he stared at the monster, an endless fear and restlessness constantly rising from the depths of his heart. The tentacles growing out of the creature's head seemed to be the source of all terror, constantly stirring his heartstrings, giving him a trembling that stemmed from the very core of his being.
His rationality slowly faded, and the Primordial Spirit within Wei Cang began to seethe.
However, upon seeing the suddenly mutated monster, Xuan Nu merely paused in slight surprise, not finding it disgusting. On the contrary, she actually thought it was somewhat cute.
She kindly said, "Are you a mutant?"
If the suppressed and bizarre sensation that had followed her down the alley had cast a shadow over her heart, the appearance of the monster before her was oddly reassuring.
It was like being repeatedly awakened at night by eerie noises, fearing the supernatural nonstop, only to find out that it was just the cat snoring, and feeling a wave of relief wash over you.
The monster's tentacles, in place of a head, writhed continuously, and the surrounding darkness echoed with soft whispers, "More twisted than twist, more deformed than deformity, I am the true reality of this universe."
Xuan Nu asked in confusion, "What… what do you mean?"
The creature slowly approached, saying, "Let me show you the true essence of the world…"
As the monster got closer and closer, and as it was about to reach Xuan Nu, Wei Cang suddenly erupted with a fierce Yamantaka aura, enveloping the creature in front of him: "Don't come any closer!"
"Wei Cang! What are you doing?!" Xuan Nu yelled, "Let him go!"
Wei Cang turned around, and in Xuan Nu's eyes, he seemed saintly, as if enveloped in holy light all over, "Mutants should die."
Swish! Xuan Nu's body was instantly covered by the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor. The black armor vibrated incessantly, like an angry dragon shaking its scales.
Xuan Nu looked at Wei Cang, who appeared holy and radiant in her eyes, like a human hero, and said coldly, "I said let him go!"
Wei Cang did not retract his Yamantaka aura. In his eyes, Xuan Nu's mouth spewed a giant tentacle, her head gradually splitting, her eyes filled with madness and malice, her mouth constantly emitting suppressed roars.
Wei Cang was extremely agitated within, "Has she gone mad? Xuan Nu has finally gone mad… She's completely out of control…"
Xuan Nu, "Wei Cang! Stop this at once!"
Wei Cang, "Xuan Nu! Have you lost your mind? Control your rationality!"
The two shouted at each other, animosity, and murderous intent escalating. When tensions were at their peak, Zhou Bai spoke softly, "Xuan Nu, ignore him, come with me, don't bother with him."
"Let me take you to see the future that belongs to the mutants."
This was, after all, Nanshan City, filled with both civilians and cultivators. Although Zhou Bai had temporarily dulled the civilians' minds, they would recover after some time.
But if Xuan Nu and Wei Cang truly started fighting, it might cause massive destruction in Nanshan City and countless human casualties.
Therefore, Zhou Bai planned to take Xuan Nu away first.
Hearing Zhou Bai's whisper, a longing appeared in Xuan Nu's eyes. Then, under Wei Cang's worried gaze, she grabbed Zhou Bai, and with the burst of Instantaneous Movement, she left with Zhou Bai in an instant.
Wei Cang roared, "Xuan Nu! Where are you going?!"
Regardless of whether Xuan Nu really went mad, Wei Cang could not let her leave just like that, because she was the only hope for saving Wei Mang.
The dense deathly aura of the Evil Sect burst forth violently, whipping up a massive tornado, radiating in all directions.
The extent of Xuan Nu's Instantaneous Movement was just over a hundred meters. Wei Cang's outburst of deathly aura swept through, unceasingly locking onto the residual scents and heat signatures of the two.
At the same time, monks from the Evil Sect further away reacted, rushing towards Wei Cang's location.
Wei Cang, however, paid no heed and pursued relentlessly. From a distance, he saw Xuan Nu and that monster nestled together, with the other seemingly whispering something into Xuan Nu's ear. In the blink of an eye, they once again vanished through Instantaneous Movement.
Witnessing this scene, Wei Cang felt a surge of fury within him, "Damn it!"
On the other side, Zhou Bai and Xuan Nu continuously used Instantaneous Movement, temporarily shaking Wei Cang off. In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived in an empty room. The owner of the room was not at home, probably out for work.
Zhou Bai looked at Xuan Nu in front of him and said, "Take off your Abyss Nether Dragon Armor."
Xuan Nu: "Why... why?"
Zhou Bai gently explained, "The power of the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor is too overbearing; it cuts off your connection with reality. Take off the Nether Dragon Armor. I will show you a real aberration."
Under the continual influence of Zhou Bai, Xuan Nu's intellect had always been kept at a relatively low level, and she began to believe Zhou Bai's words even more.
So it was seen that Xuan Nu removed the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, revealing the clothes she wore underneath.
The Dragon Armor once again transformed into the original pendant form of a dragon.
At the instant of this action, Zhou Bai internally called out, "Elsa!"
"Elsa?!"
"Damn it, this stupid dog!"
At this moment, within Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit, Elsa was flipping over with a confused look on her face, like a salted fish that had flipped belly-up, completely giving up on thinking.
Zhou Bai sighed in his heart, thinking with some helplessness, "Sigh, I'll have to block out this stupid dog during the next battle... really, do you believe everything I say?"
Since he couldn't use Elsa's Spatial Bag, Zhou Bai had no choice but to keep speaking telepathically with Xuan Nu to calm her down while waiting for Elsa to recover, and at the same time, keep directing Xuan Nu to perform Instantaneous Movement.
During this process, Zhou Bai also noticed that the Fool's Catastrophe had a different effect on Xuan Nu compared to other monks.
For other monks, the Fool's Catastrophe not only induced various states depending on the level of contamination it brought but also triggered psychological trauma, increasing the probability of aberrations.
But Xuan Nu had already become aberrant long ago. Under the influence of the Fool's Catastrophe, she entered a state of 'delusion,' yet showed no signs of further aberration whatsoever.
After about ten minutes or so, Elsa finally came to her senses, "Eh? What happened?"
Zhou Bai said, "Swallow the necklace on Xuan Nu."
Elsa nodded, and then Zhou Bai saw their controlled Cang Ming open its mouth and inhale. The necklace Xuan Nu wore immediately contracted, spiraling into Cang Ming's mouth and into Elsa's belly.
"Success!" Zhou Bai felt a surge of joy within, finally having stripped the immensely powerful, extraordinarily defensive Abyss Nether Dragon Armor from Xuan Nu's body. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This armor on Xuan Nu's body was just too powerful, so much so that even Zhou Bai found it difficult to take her down; it was a tremendous threat.
But just as the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor was sucked into the mouth, a surging power burst forth from within the armor. A dragon's roar echoed, and the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor began to violently struggle within the Spatial Bag.
