Chapter 386: The Ending (End of this Volume)
"Has it arrived?"
Yu Liancheng stood beside over a hundred corpses, looking up at the silver-white bomber in the sky, his expression without the slightest ripple: "Let me see just how powerful this world's most formidable weapon can be."
A massive bomb weighing several tons was dropped.
But when this bomb was exposed to the world, Yu Liancheng actually felt a palpitation; a strong omen of danger exploded in his heart, and every pore on his body seemed to be screaming.
Run!
Run!
Run!
This was the most dangerous crisis he had faced since stepping into the Edo; no other instance could compare to it.
This was a Nuclear Bomb.
It possessed the power to destroy heaven and extinguish the earth; it was the crystallization of human technology and also a curse of the Demon.
If it exploded in a densely populated area, it could instantly bury millions of living souls.
"Come, let me see your light and heat."
Yu Liancheng's expression seemed as indifferent as ever.
The next moment, the Nuclear Bomb finally fell.
A ball of scorching, dazzling light exploded with a boom, as if a sun had burst open. Even General Bu En, who was at a great distance, felt a stinging sensation.
Boom—!!
An earth-shattering roar exploded.
The world suddenly shook, as if it were a piece of glass about to shatter.
A massive mushroom cloud rose into the air, shooting straight into the clouds, kicking up tens of thousands of catties of mud and sand, and with a temperature of several thousand degrees—almost comparable to the sun—it vaporized everything it touched.
The scorching heat wave swept out in all directions with the posture of annihilating all things, as if a giant rock had been thrown into a calm lake, turning into ripples of terror.
Everywhere it passed, everything turned to flying ash.
General Bu En had already boarded a plane, looking at the rolling heat waves below, a cold sneer appearing on his stern face: "This time, I don't believe you still won't die."
He had seen that Yu Liancheng did not leave at the moment of the explosion.
The opponent was at the center of the explosion; if nothing else, the high temperature alone, comparable to the surface of the sun, was enough to kill any living creature.
Although the casualties were heavy this time, the mission was finally accomplished.
"You are looking for me." An ethereal voice came from behind General Bu En.
General Bu En was terrified, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a man dressed in ancient Huaxia clothing smiling at him, his black robes fluttering, unstained by a speck of dust, as if he had descended from the nine heavens.
"You... how is this possible?" General Bu En could not help but take two steps back, his eyes filled with disbelief; even if the opponent could survive a nuclear explosion, how could he not have a single injury?
One must know, the opponent was located at the very center of the nuclear explosion.
General Bu En believed that even God should not be so relaxed when facing this strike.
But unfortunately, Yu Liancheng did not truly face the nuclear explosion; he had only opened the Stone Gate and entered another world just as the Nuclear Bomb was about to unleash its destructive power...
However, the great terror and great destruction of the nuclear explosion lingered in Yu Liancheng's mind.
"Alright, I keep my word; it is time for me to send you away." Yu Liancheng smiled slightly, opened one hand, covered General Bu En, and suddenly clenched his five fingers.
General Bu En was as if grabbed by an invisible giant hand; amidst screams, he was crushed to death, and blood splattered throughout the plane.
"It is time to go to the Bai Gong; those who dare to scheme against me must pay the price they deserve."
On this day, the United States dropped a Nuclear Bomb on an expert standing at the pinnacle of the world; it was ineffective.
The retaliation that followed from this supreme expert caused unimaginable shock on a global scale.
Many high-level officials of the United States, as well as the heads of the financial groups controlling everything behind the scenes, were killed, causing the United States to fall into chaos with partisan strife everywhere.
The Dongying Six Paths Ninja, the United Kingdom Royal Knights, France's Romantic Wings... and other special forces of powerful nations, as long as they participated in this battle, were destroyed one after another.
And many research materials from various countries were stolen and sent to Great Shanghai, where a red sun was slowly rising.
The entire world was once again shocked by martial power; the Martial Dao rose and advanced by leaps and bounds, becoming an important force advancing side-by-side with science.
The aftershocks of the battle that shook the world were still echoing, stirring the whole world like a boiling river.
Until the arrival of September 15th.
September 15th, this date had no special significance in the United States, but it was the Mid-Autumn Festival of Huaxia. It was also the date of the agreement between the Old Beggar and Yu Liancheng; all grievances and meanings were to end here.
A bright moon hung high, its clear light scattering across all of Huashington and also covering the heavily guarded Bai Gong. Although there was no new owner moving in due to Yu Liancheng, it remained a symbol of power.
Boom!!
Boom—!!
After a loud noise, the entire Bai Gong trembled, followed by continuous explosions that resounded for ten miles. The entire Bai Gong collapsed in sequence, dust flying, turning into a ruin, as if thousands of bombs had been dropped in an instant; countless American soldiers were caught in the aftermath, turning into a pool of flesh in the shaking collapse.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and bolts of lightning descended; within the lightning, one could vaguely see a figure waving his fists, facing the wild dragon of lightning, moving forward without hesitation.
There was another figure in the distance, seemingly wanting to stop all of this, but unable to do anything.
The next moment, the lightning struck the Bai Gong, and the whole world seemed to be groaning and trembling.
After five bolts of lightning, the dark clouds dispersed, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and its brilliance reappeared. A figure was bathed in the moonlight, his tyrannical aura filling the heavens and earth, like a giant beast crouching under the starry sky.
He opened his arms, as if embracing the entire world. The whole person seemed to have merged with the heavens and earth, yet also seemed to be drifting outside of them.
The man's black hair fluttered, his gaze looking at the beggar elder below, the corners of his mouth suddenly curling into a wanton and arrogant smile. At this moment, who else in this world was his opponent?
The next moment.
The black-haired man dived downward, like a meteorite falling into the atmosphere.
A powerful aura locked onto the Old Beggar, and he raised his fist that was enough to shake the world once again.
The Old Beggar sighed, and although he knew the general trend was gone, he was not Buju at all and met the attack once again.
This battle ended very quickly.
Yu Liancheng ascended to Heavenly Human, his strength rising significantly. The Old Beggar was beaten to death, and in the end, unwilling to accept his fate, his soul transformed into a wisp of yellow light and projected toward Yu Liancheng's mind. He wanted to perform a soul possession, but unfortunately, the Stone Gate suppressed him forcefully.
After completely refining the Old Beggar's Primordial Spirit, Yu Liancheng finally understood the mysteries surrounding the Old Beggar.
That Old Beggar was called Hongriqing, a figure who had lived for four or five hundred years. He was born into a martial arts family, and his martial arts were unfathomably profound, but unfortunately, he was still quite far from the Broken realm and ascension.
Even for a Peerless Grandmaster, lifespan is still limited. To extend his life, the Old Beggar racked his brains and eventually created a martial art similar to the "Draining Technique," calling it the "Return to Origin Heavenly Decision."
This martial art could absorb the origin from others to extend one's lifespan.
But to achieve this, the other person's martial arts had to share the same origin as his own; therefore, the Old Beggar spread his martial arts everywhere, mixing the mysteries of the "Return to Origin Heavenly Decision" into every style.
After Yu Liancheng obtained the Buddha's Palm learned by A Xing, he compared it with what he had obtained from the tomb of Long Jianfei, discovered the trickery, and thus became suspicious.
The "Return to Origin Heavenly Decision" also had a great price; although he could absorb the origin from different people to increase his lifespan, it made the Old Beggar's own origin increasingly chaotic, cutting off his path to ascension.
Originally, the Old Beggar was very troubled by this, but after seeing Yu Liancheng, the Old Beggar conceived an idea that should never have existed—soul possession and rebirth.
Yu Liancheng's body was truly too powerful and vast; even if there were conflicts and incompatibilities, it still had the potential for Broken ascension.
He took the initiative to find General Bu En to help set up a trap, originally intending to wait until both sides were injured before seizing the opportunity to strike.
As for the appointment on the fifteenth of September, it was just in case; he had already set up an Array at the Bai Gong, and by borrowing the power of the moon spirit, the chance of a successful soul possession would greatly increase.
It is a pity that both of these plans ultimately failed.
And his entire repertoire of martial arts ended up benefiting Yu Liancheng.
Yu Liancheng took out a pot of wine, faced the bright moon at his waist, and tilted his head to take a gulp: "Heavenly Human has been achieved; perhaps it is time to leave."
