The demon trio has already absorbed 78% of the evil in the Shadow Dimension; they cannot obtain the remaining two masks since they are located within the country.
Even with this 78% evil, Bai Tsa and Xiao Fung's power has reached a new level, and the power they can now use is more than double what it was before.
Their confidence swelled with this growing strength, and they prepared to launch another attack on Bai Sui.
This time, Bai Tsa not only unleashed a tsunami, but also carved a massive array on the seabed. This array was incredibly powerful, and although its function was singular, it was truly effective.
This formation can distort the sea level, causing some parts to rise and others to fall. On the uninhabited ocean, the sea level drops drastically under the effect of the formation, and the squeezed-out seawater will move closer to the land, gradually raising the sea level near the land.
Furthermore, to ensure the success of the operation, Bai Tsa carved many backup formations on the seabed to prevent someone from directly attacking their base.
Meanwhile, Xiao Fung was not idle either. During this time, he frantically wandered throughout the entire atmosphere, ensuring that his magic could permeate every part of the atmosphere.
Just as the two demons finished their preparations, they launched their attacks at the same time.
On this day, the sea level rose, increasing by tens of meters in a short period of time, submerging many low-lying areas. Furthermore, a massive tsunami raged, destroying everything the waves could reach.
The most terrifying thing was that, as the sea level rose, people gradually felt difficulty breathing, their whole body ached and they felt weak, and various flying insects and birds could no longer fly normally.
Then, a large number of bubbles rose from somewhere in the ocean, looking from a distance as if the seawater was boiling. What was initially just a joke quickly became apparent as people discovered that the sun's power had increased, many people were sunburned, and global temperatures began to become abnormal.
The temperature was unusually high in areas exposed to sunlight, while it was unusually cold in areas under darkness. Even in places where the aurora was not seen before, strange auroras began to appear.
Detection studies from various countries have revealed that Earth's atmosphere is leaking outwards. Large amounts of air are breaking free from Earth's gravity in a strange way and are rapidly dissipating into space. The atmospheric pressure is decreasing rapidly. Scientists estimate that a full 50 quadrillion tons of air will completely dissipate within a month at most.
Although some scientists have calculated that as the amount of air in the atmosphere decreases, a large amount of seawater will evaporate, and that the water vapor will replace the atmosphere to some extent, thus slowing down the complete removal of the atmosphere, this discovery is useless because humans will not live to see the day when water vapor replaces the atmosphere; they will become extinct before that happens.
Faced with such a disaster, Bai Sui had no choice but to divert his attention from the sea of knowledge and begin searching for the culprit.
However, the now-wise demon trio did not choose to confront them head-on this time. After using their respective abilities, Bai Tsa and Xiao Fung immediately hid in the shadow space within the mask, leaving Bai Sui's spiritual sense empty-handed.
No matter how hard Bai Sui tried to search with his divine sense, he couldn't find the figures of the three demons. Left with no other choice, Bai Sui had to quell this disaster first.
The easiest thing to find was the array that Bai Tsa had inscribed in the ocean. As all the arrays were destroyed, the seawater gradually receded, and even the towering tsunami was easily shattered by Bai Sui.
Although the seawater receded, the disaster for humanity was not over. After all, the areas flooded by the seawater occupied almost 90% of the world's arable land, and the land in these areas was turned into saline-alkali land. It can be said that the famine that followed was the real beginning of the disaster.
Saving the atmosphere became much more complicated. Unlike simply destroying the formation, Bai Sui had to use gravity manipulation to gather the atmosphere that had drifted away from Earth.
Furthermore, due to Xiao Fung's covert manipulation, these atmospheres have been in a state of expansion and cannot naturally converge around the Earth. They must be kept there by Bai Sui's power, which greatly strains Bai Sui's energy.
Fortunately, subsequent research by the Intermediate People's Court revealed that it contained a large amount of demonic power, which could be neutralized using righteous True Magic.
However, what followed was a tug-of-war that Bai Sui really hated. Bai Tsa and Xiao Fung usually hid in the shadow space, but would occasionally come out from behind their masks. One manipulated the seawater, and the other controlled the atmosphere, wantonly destroying the entire Earth.
Bai Sui was furious, but helpless, because Bai Tsa and Xiao Fung's mischief was completely random. The two demons might not even appear at the same time; they might just cause destruction on their own. This random destruction left Bai Sui feeling helpless.
The reason why Bai Sui's divine sense failed to capture Bai Tsa and Xiao Fung is due to the role of the Shendu. In his soul state, the Shendu is more sensitive to spiritual energy such as divine sense. Although he cannot harm Bai Sui's divine sense, the Shendu can still sense the scanning of divine sense.
Once the Shendu senses his divine sense sweeping across the mask, he will inform Bai Tsa and Xiao Fung to go out at a random time later, in order to minimize the chances of the two demons directly encountering Bai Sui's divine sense.
Left with no other choice, Bai Sui had to return to his old profession and begin recording the Rhythm of the entire Earth within his Inner Landscape.
After all, once the entire Rhythm is recorded in the Inner Landscape, it's equivalent to Bai Sui having the ability to monitor the entire Earth in real time. Even if the other party's hidden alternate dimension is not on Earth, Bai Sui will be able to detect it the moment the other party speaks on Earth.
However, this would take a long time, requiring Bai Sui to spend decades. This was the reason why Bai Sui didn't initially intend to do this, since in Bai Sui's view, he wouldn't stay in this world for very long, and spending so much time recording Earth was completely unnecessary.
But things are different now. The other side has three demons hiding, which directly means that even if Bai Sui wants to separate the good and evil in the world in the future, he will not be able to do so, since demons are the embodiment of evil.
Unless Bai Sui is willing to risk offending the Eight Immortals and simply walk away, he really has no choice but to find those three demons first.
Fortunately, Bai Sui is now an immortal being and doesn't care much about the passage of several decades; otherwise, he might not have bothered to try.
Bai Sui then discovered that hardship could indeed inspire human creativity, because the frequent occurrence of natural disasters led to a rapid advancement in human technology, especially in areas such as geological improvement and protection against blackbody radiation.
In particular, its technology in blackbody radiation protection is even more advanced than that of the Naruto World, which has already entered the realm of space civilization. By acquiring this technology, the Naruto World has significantly improved the efficiency of solar power generation and the Quanxing of spacecraft.
While geological improvement techniques aren't particularly useful in the Naruto World —after all, they can directly improve planets using Chakra and human effort, and there are many habitable planets in the universe that don't require the Ninja World to directly improve them—it is still a practical technology and has considerable reference value for them.
It must be said that some technologies were simply used in the wrong direction. This geological improvement technology, almost twenty years later, was used to transform various barren planets so that Chakra microorganisms could grow on them, never providing ninjas with an almost endless supply of Chakra.
And Bai Sui's clone, in this way, both repaired the leaks in the atmosphere at any time and recorded the earth beneath its feet.
Yes, as time has passed, Bai Sui no longer needs to worry about the seawater part. Because Bai Tsa and Xiao Fung only come out for a very short time each time in order to avoid Bai Sui's discoveries, this limits the power they can exert.
Nowadays, unless the tsunami is too strong, countries can directly defend against it using technology and True Magic. Although some seawater still occasionally flows onto the land, they can quickly improve the soil texture through various means.
Moreover, in recent years, China has also developed a variety of crops that can grow normally in saline-alkali land, which has made the damage of each tsunami smaller and smaller.
Although the world has not yet found a way to quickly repair the atmosphere, at this rate, it shouldn't be too long.
But that's all in the future, since Bai Sui has already found the hidden masks of the Shendu and the others.
It can only be said that Bai Sui was lucky this time; he only copied half of the entire Earth before discovering the secret hidden by the Shendu and his group.
And so, with a wave of Bai Sui's right hand, the mask that had been possessed by the demons came into Bai Sui's hand.
This time, Bai Sui didn't hold back at all. He directly used Yin-Yang Release to create three items: a flute, Gourd, and a sword.
Perhaps sensing the evil deeds committed by the three demons, three waves of energy immediately descended upon the three items from the void, releasing their corresponding power.
The three demons forced out of the mask by Bai Sui saw their sealed artifacts as soon as they opened their eyes, Shendu was the first to be sent to hell.
Bai Tsa and Xiao Fung, having absorbed much evil, had broken a small portion of the seal, giving them some resistance. They were even able to struggle against the seal for a while, thus delaying their fall into the gates of hell.
Seeing this, Bai Sui bestowed upon them a thunderbolt, imprisoning them in a seal. It can only be said that fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Although the broken seal gave Bai Tsa and Xiao Fung the power to fight against the Gates of Hell, the lack of the seal's protection also caused them to suffer real harm once again after countless years.
The damage from this lightning strike gave the two demons a new perspective on the sealing technique, so they offered no further resistance and fell directly into hell.
This time, although the other demons were still unhappy with Shendu, he had successfully brought Bai Tsa and Xiao Fung into the human world and ruled the Shendu United States a severe beating.
Bai Tsa stopped the other disgruntled demons, diverting their discontent with Shendu, saying, "I was injured when that mage hit me just now."
Xiao Fung immediately chimed in, "Me too."
The other demons didn't seem to care. "Injured? What's the problem? It'll heal instantly, won't it? I was burned by that mage for ages before." The one speaking was Tso Lan, who had been burned to the point of near death by Bai Sui in the beginning.
Bai Tsa and Xiao Fung immediately shook their heads. "No, this is not an ordinary injury. Our wounds have not healed. Look, the wounds have not healed yet."
Guided by Bai Tsa and Xiao Fung, the demons saw the injuries on the two figures, which were healing at a visible speed. Although this healing rate was still fast, it seemed very slow compared to the speed of their group of demons.
Soon, their injuries were completely healed, but none of the demons said anything.
Finally, it was the leader of the demons, Tso Lan, who spoke up, "We should experiment again."
So each demon then inflicted a wound on themselves, with Bai Tsa and Xiao Fung clearly recovering more slowly.
"Why is that? I clearly feel that your power has increased." Tso Lan was puzzled by this phenomenon.
"I really hate how dry it is here," Bai Tsa flicked her tail. "That's exactly what I wanted to say. Xiao Fung and I broke through part of the seal by absorbing the evil that remained on Earth, but then we discovered that our recovery speed has slowed down, and not only that, our defenses seem to have weakened as well."
With Bai Tsa and Xiao Fung's explanation, the demons gradually accepted the idea that the seals on their bodies were a form of protection. After all, they knew about the balance between good and evil in this world, and could naturally understand why the Eight Immortals did what they did.
After that, the other seven demons turned their attention to Shendu, because Shendu's previous behavior was no different from that of the other demons. However, according to Bai Tsa and Xiao Fung, Shendu had also absorbed a lot of evil, and there must be a reason for this.
Seeing that he couldn't slow down any longer, the Shendu quickly explained, "Don't look at me. Because I'm in a soul state, I can't absorb much evil, so I didn't waste that power. Instead, I left that evil on Earth."
I used a portion of my own power, combined with that evil, to create a little Drago, hoping that it can find a way to help us break the seal on the human side in the future."
