Chapter 181: Hand-Squeezing Nuclear Fusion

This phantom was not clear; like ripples on a water surface, it constantly fluctuated, looking extremely fragile, as if it would dissipate at a single touch.

But at this moment, the phantom emitted an extremely powerful, profound aura capable of touching the Heaven and Earth Principles, directly interfering with the surroundings; it actually temporarily shielded the Great Sun's radiance and the power of the Earth Dharma Image, forming an independent space.

"Interesting. I was wondering why this stubborn lion would be pushed to such a degree, even coming to me for help. So it is power of this level; I am not surprised."

At this time, the phantom spoke, carrying a faint smile.

"My Lord, please save us and suppress this human!"

Seeing the phantom appear, Qingshi was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt to the ground, disregarding his poise and dignity as the leader of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge and a Great Innate demon, fawning like a dog.

"No, I cannot do that."

"Power of this level is already approaching my realm. What is here is merely my phantom; it cannot kill this person, at most it can only protect you so you remain unharmed."

The phantom said indifferently.

After speaking, he ignored Qingshi and the other demons and looked at Li Heng.

"Human, give this Venerable one a favor and let them go."

The phantom spoke, his tone full of arrogance, as if ordering from a high position, not taking Li Heng into his eyes at all.

Of course, he had the grounds for such arrogance.

Li Heng's expression was indifferent upon hearing this.

He had just been wondering why this phantom could remain unaffected by the Great Sun's radiance and the power of the Earth Dharma Image. After all, the essence of both powers was extremely high; they should have at least had some interfering effect.

However, after observing carefully, he suddenly realized.

Clearly, the aura emitted by this phantom distorted the surrounding Heaven and Earth Principles and altered the space; the place where he stood was a small World, so the Great Sun's radiance naturally could not shine in.

In essence, what truly blocked the Great Sun's radiance and the power of the Earth Dharma Image was not this phantom, but the Heaven and Earth rules that had been distorted and altered by the phantom to form a small World barrier.

"What, human, you are unwilling?"

"The power you emit and the Dharma Aspect you manifest are very strong and have great potential; perhaps you can truly advance to the Dharma Aspect Realm in the future, but that is only in the future. Are you sure you want to anger me and anger Hanging Mountain for the sake of these small Innate ants?" the phantom continued.

Potential is, after all, just potential.

As long as it has not been converted into cultivation and combat power, it is not worth mentioning; furthermore, having potential does not mean one will definitely be able to advance to the Dharma Aspect Realm. After the Heaven and Earth Mutation, few people can advance to the Dharma Aspect Realm; how could it be so easy to break through?

He had not failed to see peerless geniuses with aptitude far superior to his, who killed enemies across realms as easily as eating and drinking, advance to the Dharma Aspect Realm, yet almost all of them eventually fell during the process of witnessing the World Truth.

If not for a few lucky ones who managed to advance in the end.

They would have suspected that the path was already broken.

Li Heng's expression remained calm upon hearing this. If the main body were here, that would be one thing, but a mere phantom dares to put on airs in front of him? Does it really think that slightly distorted Heaven and Earth Principles can ignore his methods?

He squeezed his large hand.

The vision of the Haohan Dari shining upon the Boundless Earth shook once more, and the entire Ten Thousand Demon Ridge trembled along with it, erupting with a massive momentum that directly increased its power by a notch.

Seeing this, the phantom smiled slightly.

"It is useless; you are wasting your effort. Although you now possess a prototype of a Dharma Aspect, a prototype is ultimately just a prototype; it has not truly involved the Heaven and Earth Principles or constructed your own Dharma Law."

He spoke with a faint, mocking tone, unimpressed.

If the Innate level is about controlling Heaven and Earth Origin Qi to step into the extraordinary and seek infinite power from the external Heaven and Earth.

Then the Dharma Aspect is casting one's gaze toward oneself and the deeper levels of Heaven and Earth. One perceives the Heaven and Earth Principles and Heaven and Earth rules, turns them into one's own resources, walks one's own path, constructs one's own Dharma Aspect, and uses the power of the Dharma Aspect to shake the Heaven and Earth rules.

How could a realm involving rules be easily crossed?

The subsequent situation was exactly as the phantom had said.

Although the Great Sun's radiance and the power of the Earth Dharma Image surged significantly, enough to crush many Great Innate demons, they still could not exert the slightest interference on this phantom.

It was as if they were separated by a dimension.

"Tsk tsk, pitiful, these poor little things."

The phantom shook his head with a tsking laugh, then rippled with invisible fluctuations, shielding the Great Innate demons who were about to die from the surging Great Sun's radiance, preventing them from being affected by the light.

These Weird demons were overjoyed to receive protection.

It seemed they would not die this time.

As for Qingshi, knowing that this Lord's phantom could not kill this human, he felt some unwillingness but was helpless. However, to vent the resentment in his heart, he kept roaring and provoking Li Heng.

But it looked just like a dog acting on its master's authority.

"You should give up; retreat quickly."

"I can sense that you have placed a seal in the surroundings, temporarily shielding the perception of the Yin World, but now the seal is already tottering. Are you sure you want to keep consuming like this? I do not mind, but I fear you will be struck dead by a bolt of lightning; that would be a great pity."

The phantom continued to smile, calm and composed.

Seeing this, Li Heng also frowned.

This turtle shell is truly hard enough.

However, even if this turtle shell involves rules, with his current Source Power, it is enough to blast it apart; it is just that this would be more trouble than it is worth—having earned so much Source Power, only to have to pay it back?

If a phantom suspected to be of the Dharma Aspect Realm can leave him helpless, then when he returns to the Present World and goes to the broader Prefecture, wouldn't he be even more unable to move an inch?

The current situation.

It is not that the Great Sun's radiance and the power of the Earth Dharma Image have no effect on this phantom suspected of being in the Dharma Aspect Realm. This phantom created a turtle shell of Heaven and Earth Principles, preventing the light and the power of the Dharma Image from invading.

To resolve this situation.

One must blast apart this turtle shell!

But the problem arises: this turtle shell is formed by the distortion of Heaven and Earth Principles; to blast it apart, the power should also be power at the level of Heaven and Earth Principles, which is the power of rules.

But he has only just advanced to the Innate level not long ago.

He has not had time to perceive the Heaven and Earth Principles or rules at all.

Unless... use more powerful force, force that exceeds the current order of magnitude, and stack the quantity; perhaps he can forcibly blast apart this rule-based turtle shell!

As a transmigrator, Li Heng is very clear on one point: talking about toxicity without talking about dosage, and talking about power without talking about quantity, is hooliganism.

Although this phantom can mobilize Heaven and Earth Principles to form a rule-based defense, it ultimately still requires power to support it, and therefore it can also be forcibly blasted apart with power.

For instance, in the universe of Li Heng's past life.

Massive celestial bodies stand silently there, capable of distorting space-time by their own presence. Not to mention the black hole singularity that can render physical laws ineffective; can one really say that a celestial body has comprehended the rules?

Are you kidding me?

Consequently, an idea surfaced in Li Heng's mind.

When he originally performed Visualization of the Great Sun, he had once thought about visualizing a physical version of the Sun, and subsequently obtaining the power of Nuclear Fusion through his Visualization Divine Ability, but he had temporarily shelved it due to various reasons.

But now, he has reached the Innate Level.

Perhaps he could try visualizing a physical version of the Sun, hold Nuclear Fusion in his hand, and directly blow up this turtle shell of rules with an incomparably massive yield, planting a mushroom in this World.

With the Great Sun Dharma Image as a foundation, coupled with his own physical common sense, he could draw inferences about other cases, adding the characteristics of a physical Sun to the Great Sun Dharma Image, achieving the effect he wanted with very little Source Power.

He sensed it slightly; adding the characteristics of a physical Sun to the Great Sun Dharma Image would require three thousand points of Source Power. However, he was not surprised; instead, he was somewhat happy, as it was much less than he had expected.

He had originally thought it would take five thousand points of Source Power.

Having cultivated all the way to the Innate Level, Li Heng could clearly realize that a physical version of the Sun was somewhat unsuitable for this World, and perhaps the underlying architecture was not very compatible.

It was similar to the incompatibility between the Original Qi view and the particle view.

If even the underlying architecture was incompatible, yet he could still perform Visualization construction and subsequently erupt with powerful might, one could only say that this Visualization Divine Ability of Li Heng's was too heaven-defying.

Burning three thousand points of Source Power, he added the physical Sun characteristics.

Suddenly, he felt the Great Sun Dharma Image was different, possessing terrifying mass, as well as the Nuclear Fusion that was occurring at every moment.

Of course, it was still far inferior to a real celestial body.

After all, it was only three thousand Source Power, and Li Heng's cultivation was insufficient.

It was a cheap product totaling three thousand points of Source Power, so the yield of the Nuclear Fusion was also somewhat small. However, Li Heng could clearly feel that it was more than enough to blow up Ten Thousand Demon Ridge and break open the turtle shell.

"Interesting, I didn't expect to be able to plant a mushroom once."

Li Heng said to himself with a smile.

This caused Kong Que beside him to tilt her head in thought; what was Master saying, why did he smile after mentioning planting a mushroom? Could this mushroom break through the protection of this phantom?

She shook her head; how could that be possible?

Then, the next moment.

Her pupils shrank, and she saw an incomparably unforgettable scene.

Li Heng just tossed a small ball of light gently with one hand, and it was thrown onto the ground. In an instant, the ball of light bloomed.

First was the light, immeasurable light!

This light, intense to the extreme, was more dazzling than anything in the world, and even the radiance of the Great Sun in the Present World could not compare to it in the slightest. The entire Ten Thousand Demon Ridge was filled with this scorching, incandescent white.

The Void barrier Li Heng had set up shattered, and the endless heat extended to the surrounding Ghost Domain, as if causing the infinite Heaven and Earth to fall into this power filled with destruction.

In this very instant.

Those great demons and monsters that were lingering on, as well as that mysterious and unpredictable phantom capable of mobilizing the Heaven and Earth Principles, were all submerged in the endless light, unable to distinguish any other color.

The turtle shell of rule-based protection melted and disintegrated instantly under this terrifying power of destruction; the various demons and monsters within the protection, as well as that phantom, were instantly refined into Emptiness, with no Weird or demon able to resist in time, and even if they did, it would be meaningless!

This was destruction beyond an order of magnitude!

This radiance lasted for several breaths before gradually fading away. Immediately following this moment, a huge fireball that filled the entire Ten Thousand Demon Ridge region emerged, rose into the sky, and transformed into a mushroom-shaped fire cloud.

Like the Great Sun in the sky, it shook out endless waves of wind!

"Kong Que, is this mushroom pretty?"

Li Heng smiled lightly.
