"You’re courting death!"
Chang Xin’s voice tore through the air, sounding distorted and twisted, her face contorted in fury, with an extreme luminous glow emanating from her body, her hands trembling almost instantaneously.
The Moon White Power visibly enveloped Lu Ren and her within it suddenly.
Lu Ren felt as if his vision was spinning, and when his sight cleared, he found himself once again in the Moon Palace Main Hall, standing atop the throne chair.
Chang Xin also clung closely to him, eyes wide with fury, a half-moon emblem emerget on her forehead, her entire body radiating light.
In the main hall, endless golden lines extended from the throne chair in all directions, seemingly activating some kind of formation.
Soon, extraordinary heat began to erupt from within the hydrogen bomb.
In an instant, extreme light and heat filled Lu Ren’s vision.
In his Inner Realm, Xu Fu, Kong Qiu, and others were running around wildly like headless flies, desperately anxious.
"It’s over, it’s over!!"
Red Dragon Ao Li was instead full of anticipation, waiting for Lu Ren’s Inner Realm to be destroyed upon his death.
The ground began to tremble, and what was already a huge crater seemed to emit countless orange-yellow beams of light from underground, illuminating half of the Moon.
The next moment, a ball formed by extreme light and heat erupted from underground, then rapidly expanded, engulfing everything as it continued to spread.
This ball rapidly spread over three kilometers and exploded.
A dazzling, intense white light lit up from the Moon’s surface, a high-temperature red fireball exploded, triggering the core heat, then turned into a cloud of colored smoke.
Following was the dust and rubble on the Moon, driven by immense force, transforming into columns of dust at the explosion’s core.
Fortunately, the Moon’s surface was in a vacuum state, preventing the release of the impact wave with the greatest destructive power.
As the light and heat slowly dissipated, those observing from lunar orbit saw only a massive, abyssal crater appear, seemingly struck heavily by a meteor, but due to the high temperature, the interior of the crater appeared as if glazed with high heat.
Everyone remained silent for a long while, even on Earth, those who could observe the Moon through telescopes saw a burst of light from the lunar surface.
"Are they... testing nuclear weapons on the Moon?"
At the Huaxia Air Command Center, Zhang Tongxuan and Li Changming saw the real-time images from the lunar orbital satellite and remained silent for a long time.
Li Changming simply clenched his fists, a look of lament in his eyes.
"Are they really... dead?"
Liu Xingyue was full of emotion: "Such fierceness..."
Lu Ren’s death felt unreal to everyone, leaving them with a "Just like that..." feeling.
Zhang Tongxuan abruptly flicked his sleeves, speaking coldly: "Since there’s something like a Moon Palace on the Moon, it signifies there are other places on Earth harboring these ancient demons. We need to find them in advance and kill them while they’re weak!!"
If we let them awaken with time, the ultimate crisis will be humanity’s."
Li Changming opened his mouth but held his gaze silently: "Although these people were once mortal, now they’ve lost their humanity, considering themselves gods. I second that." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fire.net
Zhang Tongxuan’s words were filled with killing intent: "Given this, we’ll immediately contact the four guardians, and convey the urgent news, inviting the leaders to participate in the meeting!"
Lu Ren abruptly sat up, and before he could gather his wits, his unsteady figure crashed to the ground with a dull thud.
Only then did he realize he had been unconscious on a tree branch.
Surrounded by towering trees, dense undergrowth, and in the distance, faintly unknown Exotic Beasts roaring.
With Lu Ren’s breathing, the mysterious factors evoked by the Breathing and Exhaling Technique seemed like a slow stream, continuously absorbed into the body.
When Lu Ren focused on his body, the intense pain almost caused him to faint again.
After a long time, Lu Ren discovered three of his four arms were broken, only the left hand remained relatively intact, although it appeared corroded by sulfuric acid, and his legs were directly melted off, his entire body horribly injured by unimaginable high temperatures.
What shocked him even more was that his cells within were slowly disintegrating.
Despite the hydrogen bomb being detonated by an atomic bomb, the atomic bomb serving merely as a trigger still retained radioactivity; moreover, after the hydrogen bomb detonated, it would produce a large amount of neutrons and gamma rays, directly bombarding atoms near the explosion center, creating new radioactive materials.
His internal cells were slowly dissolving.
Under subconscious operation with the Bright Sun True Qi following the Breathing and Exhaling Technique, combined with powerful mental will under high pressure, this cellular level disintegration was finally slowly halted.
However, a full recovery would require a very long period, likely calculated in years.
Can he survive a hydrogen bomb explosion?!
Lu Ren quickly shuffled through his mind for system notifications.
"Ding, you’ve encountered a nuclear attack, your body suffered severe neutron and gamma ray impact, your body has been severely damaged."
"Ding, Chang Xin activated the teleportation array powered by a millennium of energy stored in the Moon Palace, transporting you to the Beidou Emperor Star."
"Ding, your body is immersed in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism, injuries delayed to some extent."
Lu Ren looked up at the sky, where a blazing sun hung high, and simultaneously, a full moon was suspended.
Sun and Moon concurrently in the sky?!
This celestial phenomenon did not overly surprise Lu Ren; after expressing surprise, he withdrew his gaze to focus on the distant Chang Xin.
Unexpectedly, she still possessed Life Essence, alive with a thread of life.
Such tenacious Life Force left Lu Ren reflecting on these individuals who had obtained Human Immortal Path Fruit, using any mysterious means to sustain themselves, not surprising him too much."
Confirming that she was unconscious, Lu Ren rested briefly and then, without hesitation, allocated seven Skill Points into the Ten Lands Great Accomplishment Golden Body Bodhisattva Path."
If there’s no immediate guarantee of his body’s recovery, if Chang Xin wakes up, who knows what methods she might employ?
Initially intending to use the Seventh Land as a trump card, while on the Moon, Lu Ren felt helpless realizing even entering the Seventh Land couldn’t exhaust Chang Xin to death.
"Ding, you’ve allocated seven Skill Points into the Ten Lands Mahayana Golden Body Phoenix Bodhisattva Path, upgrading..."
As the system notifications slowly rang out, Lu Ren felt his body beginning to undergo earth-shattering transformation at that moment.
