Chapter 692: 635 Infinite 3

The ochre outskirts of the wilderness, and at the center of the huge pit, was now an expanse of blazing red.

Flames and thick smoke rose steadily from the bottom, soaring towards the sky.

The temperature at the core of the pit had reached eight hundred degrees.

In just a short time, some of the rocks with lower melting points had started to melt and soften.

A great number of plant roots and stems were burned to charcoal.

Li Chengyi stood at the center bottom with his arms outstretched, his body radiating an immense heat from inside out.

Rolling heat waves emanated from him as the center, forming hot winds that blew all around.

The original Celestial Virus assimilated into his body, bringing with it an unparalleled healing power.

And this healing power directly led to a terrifying increase in his body’s strength without any concerns for repercussions.

"...It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this liberated...," he murmured in a quiet exclamation.

At this moment, the sound of his heartbeat was like a war drum, thumping persistently, expanding outward and causing everything on the surrounding ground to quiver slightly.

When he inhaled, a gust of cold wind would rise around the edges of the pit.

When he exhaled, the air temperature in the vicinity would rise by several hundred degrees instantly.

An area of a kilometer radius was affected by his presence.

Opening his eyes, Li Chengyi surveyed the surroundings.

His body was still increasing in strength, but with the virus’s support, it was not a problem for the moment.

However, Yalong, who had been battling with him just moments ago, had suddenly disappeared.

"Where is he?"

He was slightly astonished, but then let it go.

After all, at this point, whether Yalong was present or not no longer mattered.

Raising his foot, he lightly stepped forward.

Bang!

A thunderous roar erupted as the ground directly in front of him collapsed like thunder, fracturing into countless cracks.

’Is my body mass too great?’ Li Chengyi felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

Strength did not come without a price, and the path of Eternal Vitality ultimately confronted, by destiny, the world itself.

For the stronger one became, the greater the consumption required to maintain existence.

This was the critical reason why Eternal Vitality was wiped out shortly after it first appeared.

But now, with the formation of the Taboo System, Eternal Vitality progressed on the true path of enhancement.

This was immensely damaging to the world.

’And the body temperature... seems a bit high...’ Li Chengyi lifted his foot, glanced at the dark red magma starting to melt underneath, and frowned slightly.

This indicated that the temperature of his body had reached into the thousands of degrees.

With such body temperature... it was self-evident how intense the strength inside his body was, to naturally emit such terrifying heat.

"Monster!! Die!!!"

Suddenly, a furious roar floated over from the skies above Yin Yue.

Li Chengyi looked up, fixing his gaze on the sky above.

Amid the expanse of azure, a tiny black dot was plummeting from the heavens, heading straight for this spot.

Was it Yalong!?

Li Chengyi’s face revealed a mocking look, about to speak, but he suddenly noticed that the other party was holding high a gray-black metal sphere the size of a washbasin.

As the sphere rapidly descended, a sense of anxiety and urgency quickly surfaced in his mind.

’What is that?’ Li Chengyi narrowed his eyes and swiftly darted to the left.

His body traced a red streak at breakneck speed across the earth.

With his current weight, the instant burst of speed caused the ground to thunder.

Countless fissures exploded, magma splattered, as if a volcano had erupted.

Because of his increased mass, although his strength had also grown, his speed had not increased as much.

But unlike him, Yalong descended from high above and, upon touching the ground, exploded at ten times the speed of sound, nearing him.

"Scram!!"

A sense of wrongness overwhelmed Li Chengyi, and with the back of his hand, he threw a punch towards the other.

A huge airflow erupted from the end of his fist, compressed and bursting forth.

But there was still a gap in speed, and Yalong swiftly closed in.

When the distance between them was reduced to just over ten meters, Yalong let out a vicious laugh and suddenly pressed down hard on the sphere in his hand.

Crack.

It seemed as if he had crushed some kind of switch on the sphere.

An immense, hair-raising sensation of pain suddenly surged throughout Li Chengyi’s entire body.

He had no time to think further, and dived downwards, burrowing frantically into the depths of the earth.

Boom!!!

At that moment, an indescribable colossal sound engulfed everything.

The world fell completely silent.

Great sounds bring silence, as when the noise is loud enough, all returns to quietude.

A resplendent white light exploded from within the sphere in Yalong’s hand.

The explosive high temperature, with a terrifying speed exceeding eight thousand meters per second, instantly caught up to Li Chengyi, swallowing and drowning him.

And naturally, Yalong holding the sphere was no exception.

But he did not care in the slightest; instead, he opened his mouth to laugh. However, underneath the overwhelming noise, his laughter could only be seen, not heard.

But soon, the white light also engulfed and erased his everything.

With temperatures soaring into the hundreds of millions of degrees, the blast swept over everything, covering the Earth’s surface in a hundred-meter radius. Shockwaves of heat over tens of millions of degrees enveloped the area within a thousand kilometers.

Amidst a rumbling noise, a giant mushroom cloud rose slowly, breaking through the clouds.

At this moment, many martial artists within the city were staring blankly in this direction.

All noises drowned out, even from tens of kilometers away here, one could see the blinding brilliance of the bright white light.

Most people were blinded by the light at this moment, crying out in agony.

Only a very few were spared by chance.

"It’s an atomic bomb!! Damn it! Have the people of this country gone mad!? Setting off a nuclear weapon in their own capital!?"

Canglu simply couldn’t believe it.

The moment he saw the white light, he quickly bowed his head, covered his eyes, and sought shelter.

"It’s not madness, it’s likely someone acted on their own, detonating a nuclear bomb!" Fang Hongyu, representing the Eagle Shelter, also had his own intelligence channels.

Everyone reacted swiftly, soon finding various hiding places to avoid the blinding light.

The light was everywhere, almost completely bleaching everything in the city.

Kui and Xiang Hanying, along with people from the Alliance, were a step too late and didn’t manage to hide in time, many were blinded instantly and let out agonizing screams.

But to no avail, their screams couldn’t spread at all, completely drowned out by the thunderous roar of the nuclear explosion.

"That direction, it’s exactly where the Alliance Hierarch went... the Alliance Hierarch is probably..." Hong Lian’s complexion turned extremely ugly, he had never imagined that the Ta Suqing Group could be so ruthless.

To kill just the Alliance Hierarch, they used such large-scale destructive weapons near a densely populated city.

It was sheer madness!

Whoosh!!

By now, the shockwave from the nuclear explosion and the black ash dust had formed a ring of grey clouds that rushed into the city.

Vehicles were shaken and buffeted by the wind, and those who had hidden poorly were blown away in the blink of an eye.

The power grid went down, billboards flew wildly.

All kinds of heavy objects kept falling from the sky.

The massive explosion lasted for a full half a minute, with the aftermath only slowly subsiding.

As everything gradually quieted down, a chorus of cries began to rise, one after the other.

The infected bodies from the Ta Suqing Group moved quickly, their powerful regenerative abilities meant they suffered little damage from the explosion.

Teams of infected bodies rushed toward the suburban explosion site at high speed.

"Let’s go! Those who can move, follow me!" Hong Lian shouted loudly.

Immediately, the remaining dozen or so experts from both the Alliance and the Eagle Shelter followed, drawing closer to the explosion site along with the people from the Ta Suqing Group.

In the depth of the nuclear explosion crater.

Inside a huge pit more than two hundred meters in diameter, countless magma churned and boiled, thick smoke rising.

In this pit over seventy meters deep, a pitch-black humanoid slowly rose from the lava.

"This time, see if you don’t die!!" The figure split its mouth into a wide laugh. It was Yalong, who had just detonated the nuclear bomb.

Although he hadn’t detonated it close to himself, given the power of the recent blast, unless the third generation had already become a Saint, it was impossible to survive such formidable power!

Crack.

Suddenly, at a distance of just over ten meters from the explosion on the ground outside the deep pit, a charred humanoid figure bulged from the ground.

The figure, with a giant squirrel tail, swept away large patches of carbonized ash with a slight flick, revealing its true form.

It was Li Chengyi!

His body emitted blue smoke, his flesh and skin blasted away, with only his skeleton and organs left, rapidly recovering under a layer of newly formed thin membrane.

In just a few breaths, most of the flesh on his body had mended, forming new dark red muscles and fur.

"You... actually!!!?" Yalong’s whole body trembled, staring incredulously at his opponent, he simply couldn’t believe his eyes.

The recent nuclear bomb was almost the highest weapon achievement in this world, even he could not unleash such absolute power.

And now, even this force was unable to completely kill the third generation!

Could it be that there was really only one way left?

He shook all over, not in fear, but in rage.

A rage beyond description surged from the depths of his heart.

He was a Saint!

Yet he couldn’t fully deal with even one Divine Fire.

If the constraints of this world weren’t so great, if this place weren’t the Black Sea Depths, he could release the power of a nuclear bomb single-handedly!

Instead of having to rely on external forces like now!

"Just a bit more..." Li Chengyi stood calmly amidst the intense radiation, as if basking in sunlight.

"Actually, most of my body was vaporized, but luckily, as long as some of it remains, I can use it as a core to regenerate and rebuild my body."

Eternal Vitality was that powerful.

Combined with the Celestial Virus, this system’s ability to mimic and recover enhanced greatly in a short time.

At least for now, Li Chengyi’s body mass allowed the structural capability of the Celestial Virus to still be sufficient for recovery.

"It’s over," Li Chengyi said quietly.

"There is nothing in this world left that I fear."

He spread his hands.

A new wave of high-temperature radiation burst forth from his body.

The heat radiation, reaching up to two thousand degrees, rapidly melted the surrounding land, ensuring that the nuclear explosion pit, which had just started to cool, maintained its original high temperature.

Yalong gritted his teeth, watching the other, watching Li Chengyi.

He was out of options.

Although a Saint was powerful, this was not his world. Similarly constrained, he was merely a guest here.

The only ones who could truly threaten Li Chengyi were native Saints!

And the native Saints... wait!

Suddenly, a light shone in his eyes.

Tai Suqing!

Wasn’t he a natural-born native Saint?

With this thought, he quickly turned and rushed towards the direction from where Tai Suqing’s aura emanated.

But he didn’t need to raise the alarm.

In the distance, on the plains, a giant, more than ten meters tall, made of flesh was sprinting rapidly, racing towards Li Chengyi.

The giant was drenched in blood red, its muscles exposed, with countless black worm-like patterns on its body.

Its head lacked facial features, only a large human body was embedded right in the center.

It was Tai Suqing.

With arms wide open, embedded crosswise into the face of the beast, the originally handsome face now showed nothing but ferocity.
