Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman
Chapter 258 - Chapter 258 Chapter 165 Nuclear Explosion

Chapter 258: Chapter 165 Nuclear Explosion! Chapter 258: Chapter 165 Nuclear Explosion! “Chop!”

Su Ping transformed into an afterimage, dodging several scorching beams of light, and appeared above the largest eyeball monster.

The Flying Swords combined into one and transformed into a Great Sword, cleaving into the monster’s big eyeball.

However, the Sword Light and the sword’s edge were obstructed again just three inches into the eyeball.

It was because the desperate eyeball monster unleashed a stronger wave of Telekinesis that enveloped Su Ping’s Flying Sword.

If it were another Sword Cultivator, this wave could have at least led to a stalemate.

Unfortunately for them, those top-grade Magic Swords were merely tools for Su Ping.

His real strength lay in the North Dipper Seven Stars Body and the corresponding North Dipper Divine Skill!

Su Ping decisively gave up control of the Flying Sword, causing it to split back into four Magic Swords, which the eyeball monster’s Telekinesis then expelled.

But at that instant,

Su Ping had already appeared behind the eyeball monster.

He unleashed the North Dipper Greedy Wolf Fist!

The Greedy Wolf Divine Skill roared forth, entering directly through the back of the monster’s head, and then exploded within its body.

Instantly!

This Second Tier eyeball monster exploded in mid-air on the spot.

The blast of air even rushed to the high skies in an instant,

allowing the villagers in the bus and the men in suits to look up and see the ring of air waves, hearing the booming noises a few seconds later!

With a slight clench of his right hand, Su Ping reactivated the four Flying Swords that had been sent flying back to him.

With the Flying Swords in hand and becoming increasingly familiar with these eyeball monsters’ attack and defense strategies,

Su Ping handled the remaining monsters with increasing ease.

He gained a deeper understanding of these creatures known as Abyss Evil Eye Monsters.

These monsters’ innate ability should be Telekinesis.

This Telekinesis not only makes their tentacles suddenly become tough and sharp,

but it also forms almost invisible Shields of Telekinesis within their line of sight.

These shields, unless shattered, offer astonishing defense; they can also continuously strengthen by stacking in a single direction.

A group of such Abyss eyeball monsters, after stacking their shields together, can achieve an effect greater than the sum of their parts!

Not to mention that among them was a late-Second Tier leader-level Abyss Evil Eye Monster.

When they act together, it is almost equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Array Master managing a movable defense-focused Second Tier workshop Array in the Immortal Cultivation World!

Hence, even though they were weakened several times by Korea’s firepower in the early stages,

and even though they began to disperse in pursuit of the fleeing Korean forces,

when they encountered Su Ping, they quickly formed their shields again. However, Su Ping only made a feint attack, not forcing a breakthrough but instead using his Divine Sense to scout the location of their overlapped shields and chose to bypass this tough nut.

Instead, relying on his physical body’s speed advantage, he struck them before they could initiate their shields, causing damage.

Such tactics also created the illusion that despite the seemingly ineffective heavy artillery fire observed from the outside,

the mysterious powerful individual could keep relentlessly downing the eyeball monsters with his Flying Swords.

In actuality, their attacks were effective, but when facing Abyss Evil Eye Monsters specialized in Telekinesis,

compared to exploding artillery shells, rockets, or missiles,

a purer point, such as an armor-piercing weapon that concentrated energy at one point, might produce a better effect.

Or perhaps by recognizing this trait of the monsters earlier, using hyper-sonic weapons under the cover of artillery,

they could hit the monsters’ bodies directly before they could react.

With the destructive power of modernized weapons, even if it wasn’t as restraining as Su Ping’s Divine Skills and Mana,

they could still achieve significant damage to the enemy.

However, there weren’t that many ‘ifs’ now,

and even today in Huaqi Country, the production of their most cutting-edge weapons was always very worrying due to various reasons.

“Our nuclear bomb has arrived!”

“Should we inform him?”

In another military base, Huaqi Country’s generals heard the report and whispered among themselves.

Out of reverence for the mysterious transcendent, they chose to let a drone lower its altitude and broadcast in multiple languages,

alerting the mysterious Sword Immortal engaged in fierce battle on the shore that a nuclear explosion would occur over the sea in one minute!

“They’re really planning to use a nuclear bomb?”

“But it makes sense, this is just an Abyss Challenge in my eyes!”

“In the eyes of those great countries, it must be the prelude to an Otherworld invasion, right?”

“They won’t be content without trying their sharpest spear.”

“And I’m also quite curious to see if a nuclear explosion can affect that space-time rift!”

“According to the description, as long as the Abyss Challenge doesn’t end, that space-time rift should continue to exist!”

“But a nuclear explosion… Radiation and the large-area shockwaves are actually okay, being somewhat powerful against soft targets after a distance, but the key is the explosion’s core area, which is quite like simulating the Sun True Fire, isn’t it?”

“Such capability, although the chances of success are very slim, is still worth paying attention to with Divine Sense!”

While pondering, Su Ping dodged the beams shot by the furry state of the eyeball monster,

and then, like instant teleportation, burst out at an astonishing speed to appear behind this eyeball monster and immediately bisected it with a sword.

At the moment when the nuclear bomb appeared in the sky,

Su Ping had already reduced the eyeball monsters to just one severely injured, almost breathless one at the early Second Tier.

Su Ping did not rush to kill the monster, instead, he took out a few talismans and stuck them on himself as a precaution, his eyes brightly fixed on the nuclear warhead that was speeding toward the spatial rift on the sea surface.

It was a small nuclear warhead, a culmination of over a decade’s effort by experts from Huaqi Country.

This use was, in fact, a long-awaited real combat demonstration for them.

In the realm of nuclear arms, removing the filters revealed that Huaqi Country had been on the decline ever since that actor-turned-Great Commander took office.

Following the fall of that giant bear, it had essentially become a department that takes in losers from all factions.

Fortunately, the emergence of a new competitor gave the generals a sense of crisis and, by exposing themselves to journalists and performing various sorrowful acts live at conferences, they managed to secure sufficient funding.

The research on miniaturized nuclear weapons, which they pursued for practical uses, was expedited as a result.

The nuclear warhead in front of them didn’t look much different from a normal air-to-ground missile.

Yet, its power had already reached a yield of ten thousand tons, two-thirds of that of the Little Boy bomb that weighed four tons back in the day.

And in terms of efficient energy use, it was far superior to those older models.

The core destruction zone formed by the explosion wouldn’t be smaller by comparison.

As the nuclear warhead approached the spatial rift.

Under the sea, the summoned standby Memory Illusion of the Fire Knight, Elvin, also reached the seabed and released his Divine Sense to cover the spatial rift.

Ready to sacrifice a Memory Illusion to experience the birth and disappearance of Sun True Fire under a nuclear explosion.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, this was akin to witnessing the re-emergence of Sun True Fire, a Great Divine Power.

Whether it was useful or not, experiencing it in advance was always harmless!

The nuclear warhead reached the spatial rift.

As expected, it directly passed through the other side and reached the very center of the spatial rift.

Then exploded in the air as programmed!

Suddenly!

A small sun rose by the seaside.

The glaring light swept across the surroundings together with the deafening wind.

Both the unmanned drones and the unmanned submarines underwater felt different degrees of shaking from the impact.

The dazzling light continued for a while.

Then it slowly faded.

The big shots and generals in front of the large screen, amidst their unease, witnessed the outcome of this nuclear explosion.

The spatial rift… remained unscathed.

Even a supercomputer analysis swiftly confirmed there wasn’t even a micron of change in the rift before and after the nuclear explosion!

This essentially proved that human weaponry, as it stands, cannot destroy these mysterious Anomalies that connect two worlds.

A general, unwilling to accept this, waved his arms, believing the yield of the nuclear weapons was insufficient.

However, the majority remained rational, especially since it wasn’t some doomsday; there were also mysterious strong beings holding the front at the spatial rift.

The proposals from those generals to continue with nuclear explosions were quickly denied, and they were told to keep quiet.

But, they kept quiet for no more than three seconds.

Before they all started clamoring again.

Because a new Monster had appeared in the spatial rift!

And this time the monster seemed… even more daunting than the previous eyeball-shaped monster!

Under the sea, using the Divine Sense released by the Fire Knight as a medium,

Su Ping instantly knew after the nuclear explosion that the explosion had had no effect on the spatial rift.

It was entirely a blast in the air.

So, after noting every facet of the scene of the nuclear blast, Su Ping conveniently killed the last eyeball monster.

He then initiated the final challenge of the Abyss Challenge under normal difficulty.

A hundred-meter-long Black Prison Evil Dog, emitting black flames all over its body.

This Black Prison Evil Dog made its presence felt by releasing flames that turned the ocean into fuel, furiously burning away.

Then, treading on the sea of fire with elegance and composure, it made its way towards Su Ping.

“Its aura is in the late Second Tier, but as a challenge boss, this guy’s difference from that Abyss Evil Eye is probably as big as the difference between a genius-level Foundation Establishment and an ordinary Inner Sect Foundation Establishment Disciple in the Immortal Cultivation World!”

“And this innate Black Flame, that makes me innately forewarned… clearly tough to deal with!”

“In that case,”

“I only have to get serious as well!”

Su Ping took a deep breath, facing the Black Prison Evil Dog that was crossing the sea and shouted as he and his sword merged into one, transforming into a streak of golden light that darted forward.

The instant the golden light was about to reach the Abyss Monster,

Su Ping suddenly deployed an Array Map.

In an instant!

A Mirage depicting snow-capped mountains sprang up out of nowhere beside the seashore.

The Black Prison Evil Dog and the Transcendent emitting golden light seemed as if they were miniaturized a thousand times as they entered the Mirage.

Even with the best cameras,

One could only vaguely see the floating Mirage.

And it was impossible to determine who had the upper hand after deploying this miraculous tactic.

Thus, the people from Korea could only silently pray for their revered Sword Immortal Lord… to definitely win!
