Chapter 669: Chapter 633: Master, I’m Sorry

"Burn it all down? Fine! Let me see just how you’re going to do that!"

Just then, a breathtakingly beautiful woman with nearly transparent, ten-foot-long cyan hair pointed an immense, swirling hurricane of cloud and mist at Calamity.

"Feng Ling?" Calamity glanced at her, his expression indifferent. "Heh... anyone else?" he asked with utter disdain. "Come out all at once! Don’t waste my time!"

"Sigh... Calamity, the Upper Realm has finally found some peace. Why must you be the one to shatter it?"

Just then, a figure completely shrouded in dazzling white light materialized from thin air. Their form made it impossible to discern their gender, but their melodious voice revealed them to be a woman.

"Mu Tian! Good. Since you’re here, I’ll get straight to the point. I’ve only come to kill one person! If you refuse, fine! I’ll send this ten-thousand-li sea of fire down upon the Nine-Colored Thunder Domain. When that happens, don’t blame me for the collateral damage, and don’t say I didn’t honor our agreement!"

"Kill one person? Who?" Mu Tian asked, confused.

"Tian Wei!" Calamity stated flatly.

"Tian Wei?" The three women present were all stunned for a moment, but Mu Tian immediately shook her head. "Absolutely not!"

"’Absolutely not?’ Those two words are not in my vocabulary!"

With that, Calamity, his wrist wreathed in Golden Flame, suddenly pointed to the sky. Below, the Golden Flame Sea, which Shui Wuyue had been holding back, instantly repelled the azure ocean and surged into the Azure Sky. It then began to pour down upon the Nine-Colored Thunder Domain!

But just as the Golden Flame Sea was about to make landfall, Mu Tian, still shrouded in light, suddenly extended a finger and pointed downward. A massive barrier of light instantly appeared at the point of impact. Stranger still, the barrier was concave. When the Flame Sea crashed against it, its direction was completely reversed, sending it hurtling back toward Calamity himself.

Calamity, however, was not the least bit flustered. He clapped his hands together—CRACK! A portion of the Golden Flame Sea instantly transformed into a colossal golden palm. Palm facing downward, it encompassed all three women and slammed down with a deafening roar!

"You’re underestimating us! Break!"

With a sharp cry, Feng Ling whipped the swirling hurricane in her hand at the golden palm. The winds tore into it, and with a thunderous BOOM, the golden palm shattered.

"Pathetic!" Feng Ling sneered after shattering it.

But Calamity seemed entirely unconcerned. With a shift of his Seal Technique, the shattered clusters of Golden Flame transformed into a meteor shower, raining down from the heavens. The sheer scale of the attack threatened to engulf the entire Nine-Colored Thunder Domain. Not wanting to make matters worse, Feng Ling brandished her hurricane, but she couldn’t stop the meteors’ descent. At the critical moment, Shui Wuyue summoned her azure sea, which surged upward to block the fiery rain, finally ending the assault.

But after thwarting Calamity’s attack, the same thought surfaced in all three women’s minds: ’Calamity’s attack seems... too weak.’

"Was that fun?" Seeing his attack completely thwarted, Calamity suddenly clasped his hands behind his back. His golden eyes landed on the three women as he chuckled. "I admit, it would be impossible for me to kill any one of you. With Mu Tian’s Light Attribute, you’re practically invulnerable."

Shui Wuyue said, "If you know that, then why engage in such a futile effort? There are three of us here."

"Is that so?" Calamity smirked. "Don’t get the wrong idea. I never said I was here to kill you. Haven’t you noticed? A part of my Golden Flame Sea has gone missing. Hmm?"

!!

The three women were startled and simultaneously looked down toward the Nine-Colored Thunder Domain. At first glance, they saw nothing out of the ordinary, but when they looked again, the entire region began to tremble violently. Immediately after, massive fissures tore out from the Thunder Realm, and countless torrents of golden magma erupted into the sky. In a single instant, the once-pristine Nine-Colored Thunder Domain had been transformed into a golden sea of fire.

Calamity turned his back to them, hands clasped behind him. "As beings of equal standing," he said nonchalantly, "if I couldn’t even kill a single Tian Wei, I might as well just die of shame."

With that, Calamity casually strolled away, gradually vanishing from their sight...

"Calamity Old Ghost! Get back here, you coward!"

Feng Ling gathered her roaring hurricane and was about to charge after Calamity, but just as she moved, Mu Tian’s form appeared directly in her path, shaking her head.

"Sister Mu! Why are you stopping me?"

Mu Tian replied, "Just as he said, he cannot kill any of us. But by the same token, we cannot hold him here. Chasing him would be pointless. We’ll wait for the King’s revival to settle this. For now, we must be patient. This Upper Realm will belong to our clan, sooner or later!"

At these words, Feng Ling’s anger instantly vanished, replaced by a smile. "You’re right. This Upper Realm will belong to our clan, sooner or later!"

...

After one last look at the golden sea of fire below, the three of them turned and departed.

The moment they vanished, three new figures materialized in the sky. Jian Guizong surveyed the scene with a disappointed expression. "A step too late, I see," he said with a sigh. "I can’t believe that Calamity fellow handled it all by himself. I didn’t even get to warm up."

Du Yazi’s eyes glinted as he said, "Our opponents have been keeping a low profile lately. Judging from that fight, Mu Tian barely participated. Or rather, she had no intention of fighting at all, which is what gave that bastard Calamity his opening. Otherwise, with Mu Tian’s defensive capabilities, Calamity could never have succeeded without our help."

"’Low profile?’" Chongxiaozi glanced coldly at the spot where the three women had vanished, a faint smile playing on his lips. He then turned. "Follow me. I have something to tell you both."

The two men nodded in unison and followed Chongxiaozi, vanishing from sight.

"Insolence! Ignorant mortal! You dare to profane Divine Power! In the name of the God of Judgment and Adjudication, I sentence you to death!"

As the Brahma Sound echoed, the nine-colored cloud ring in the sky was suddenly wreathed in thick bolts of nine-colored lightning. Moments later, the lightning converged violently toward the ring’s center. In less than a breath, a Nine-Colored Thunder Ball, roughly the size of a dining table, coalesced into existence, exuding a terrifying aura that made every soul tremble in fear.

Seeing this, Mu Chen gave a self-deprecating smile. ’Legend says a Thunder Tribulation always gives you a chance to dodge,’ he thought. ’This one is something else. It hasn’t left me any room to evade at all. It seems I really overdid it this time.’

His face etched with bitter regret, Mu Chen cried out apologetically, "Master... I’m sorry. It seems Chen’Er won’t be able to fulfill his promise to help you restore your body."

"Silly boy." The slightly faint voice of the Profound Old Ghost echoed in his mind. "In this lifetime, being able to take a foolish disciple like you has been my greatest fortune. Heaven is always jealous of exceptional talent; that’s an immutable truth. But in all my calculations, I never foresaw that your calamity would come so soon, so swiftly. I want to help you, but I am powerless. The one who should be sorry... is me."
