Chapter 273: Reversing the Demon Source, Heaven and Earth Share Immortality

In the Dongfang Wujie, on an uninhabited plain a thousand li away from Guiyun Peak.

Bai Xiaosheng, clad in a plain white robe with wide sleeves that fell like snow, had silver-threaded cloud patterns embroidered subtly into the fabric.

At this moment, he sat motionless on the ground, facing the direction of Guiyun Peak, his brows and eyes filled with frantic expectation.

Perhaps it was as that saying went: a referee is a referee only because he no longer has an opponent.

No one knew that in the current Dongfang Wujie, Bai Xiaosheng, who had always ranked martial artists by seniority, had already reached the Transformation Realm in his own strength.

Within the various nations, he was a terrifying existence equivalent to "Information Jiraiya" and "Challenge Batman."

Relying on the Fourth-Order inheritance 【Words Become Law】, combined with the skull of the First-Generation Bai Xiaosheng of the Fifth Order.

Plus his own terrifying stats at the peak of the Fourth Order.

When calculating against the uncalculated, almost no peer could escape his schemes.

But there was one thing that had troubled him for a long time.

That was that the current Dongfang Wujie was far too silent, like a stagnant pool of dead water.

Since the previous Bai Xiaosheng from "Horse Trampling the Jianghu" failed to advance and exploded to death.

The Fourth-Order cultivators jointly ruled this world; for a long time, no conflicts had erupted, and there had been no proper news for ages.

And to embody one's own Dao and penetrate the realm.

Bai Xiaosheng's inheritance required a grand event as a prerequisite for every advancement.

After reaching the peak of the Fourth Order, Bai Xiaosheng had endured for a long time in this newsless Dongfang Wujie.

To break through, there must be an event.

And the prerequisite ritual for digesting the 【Fifth Order · Uncrowned King】 potion was to record a world-shaking event that would shake all nations.

But since the upper echelons were firmly controlled and divided by the Fourth-Order cultivators, where was anyone to create an event for him?

In this world without news, the longer he waited, the more impatient he became.

One year! Five years! Ten years! Fifty years...

With top-tier strength among the nations, yet forced to lie low due to external conditions.

After decades passed like this, Bai Xiaosheng even conceived the idea of becoming a news-maker himself.

But now, before he lost all reason and exhausted himself, he finally saw the dawn of a turning point.

Right now!

Bai Xiaosheng sat on the ground.

His face was lean, as if carved by years of frost and snow, yet his eyes held a deep, dark glimmer like a spring pool.

Relying on his astonishing eyesight, he could observe the changes in the clouds and mist on Guiyun Peak a thousand li away as Xiang Hongtu moved.

He understood: the world-shaking event he wanted had arrived!

'Young Master Fang, the stage has been built for you, and I have moved the Fan Yin Temple aside; next, I hope you will not disappoint me.'

Bai Xiaosheng's lips curled upward, and he thought with expectation: 'At least kill ten, or at the very least nine, Fourth-Order cultivators.'

Thinking this, he suppressed the urge to snort, gathered his spirit, and attempted to break through to the Fifth Order!

On the other side, as Ji Donglai blocked the gale head-on, the entire crowd fell silent for a moment.

'Who is this fellow? Where did this Fourth-Order cultivator come from?'

The entire arena was silent; the Fourth-Order cultivators were all observing the scar-faced middle-aged man before them.

Someone instinctively looked toward the direction of the Kingdom of Zhi, thinking the man's vital energy seemed unstable, and wondering if he had escaped from your side.

And he even claimed that Fang Can was his family member.

Could it be that Fang Can also escaped from your Kingdom of Zhi? Then how did he get involved with the Great Expansion and the Calamity Sword Sect?

In an instant, the Fourth-Order cultivators present, relying on their astonishing imagination, conjured up and connected many things in their minds.

But they were immediately interrupted by the Kingdom of Zhi waving their hands; clearly, the Kingdom of Zhi side was also completely baffled.

The one who reacted fastest was actually Xiang Hongtu; from the recent memorials regarding the players that had gathered, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold glint.

'Fang Can's family member? If that is the case, I should address you as a person from another realm, or perhaps... a superhuman!'

Upon hearing these words, all the Fourth-Order cultivators present realized the truth and immediately stared at Ji Donglai with strange eyes.

They did not expect that a superhuman coming from another world for the first time could already withstand Xiang Hongtu's qi force that had crushed Third-Order cultivators; it seemed the level of the other world had some substance.

Previously, hearing those people say that people from other realms knew nothing of martial arts, had weak bodies, and could be killed with a casual gesture, they had instinctively underestimated them.

Seeing this now, it seemed the evaluation of the level of other realms needed to be raised.

'Heh, I am Ji Donglai, the Great President of the New Nation!'

'As Fang Can is a member of the supreme superhumans of the New Nation, harming him is equivalent to violating the collective interests of the entire New Nation.'

Hearing Ji Donglai's declaration, the Fourth-Order cultivators present felt a vague surge of anger; no one had dared to speak to them like this for a long time.

With nineteen Fourth-Order cultivators present here, this fellow did not even look at the current situation.

Xiang Hongtu tapped his knuckles lightly on the jade carriage armrest and said coldly: 'Are you saying that I, the Emperor, and many Fourth-Order cultivators must apologize to you?'

'Heh! Having violated a superhuman, do you think an apology can quell our anger?'

Ji Donglai's black robe hem moved without wind; with a stern face, he sneered loudly: 'Keep dreaming!'

'Even if you kneel, we will not accept it!'

'Your offenses as Fourth-Order cultivators shall be repaid with your lives!'

Repaid with lives?

Hearing this, the Fourth-Order cultivators all thought this fellow had gone mad, and fearfully let out cold sneers.

Did this fellow think he was some Fifth-Order cultivator descending to the mortal world?

But facing the gaze of these people, Ji Donglai spoke no more, and gazed at the entire crowd with a calm look, saying:

"Nineteen people? That number is a bit too high."

"If I fight many at once, your abilities are too numerous; I might indeed fall into a disadvantage."

Ji Donglai was seen raising his right hand high and saying:

"No more nonsense. Receive my move... 【Reverse Demon Source · Heaven and Earth Share Life】."

"If you do not respond properly, you will likely die... more than half of you!"

As the words fell, all four-turn cultivators present fixed their gazes on Ji Donglai.

Although they felt Ji Donglai's words were too arrogant, attempting to kill at least ten people—how could that be possible?

But a skilled warrior has no famous deeds; they would not foolishly let Ji Donglai unleash his ability.

At this moment, inside Ji Donglai's space, the Rotten Li Huowang was excitedly shouting through the Mental Link of the Will Power King.

"Croak! The name I chose indeed overshadows the world. 【Reverse Demon Source · Heaven and Earth Share Life】 is the coolest name ever, okay?"

'Are you sure this name isn't plagiarized from the combined ultimate technique of Zheng Zha of Good and Evil in "The Infinite Terror"?'

'Oh, this name also stitches together the Abandoned Heavenly Emperor and the Fire Dance Whirlwind Technique. This guy's range of works is too broad; does he surf the internet every day? Where did you come from, Zuo Qingcang?'

Fang Can silently thought to the side but chose not to expose him.

After all, Ji Donglai had already been forced by the Rotten Li Huowang to recite such a chuunibyou line; he might as well comply.

Watching the excited Rotten Li Huowang, Fang Can said, "Is everything ready?"

"Of course. The antimatter bombs you asked me to set up are all in position," the Rotten Li Huowang said with a grin.

He had long used his superpowers to hide, concealing all the antimatter bombs in spherical formations at various spots across this mountain peak.

Fang Can nodded calmly and transmitted a notification through the Will Power King's mental network:

"Big Brother Ji, about 0.5 seconds after you finish showing off, you can withdraw. My intuition tells me the first wave of four-turn strikes will arrive in 0.7 seconds."

"Tuoba Yu's inheritance is also inside. I'll give you about 0.2 seconds of margin for error. The instant you vanish, I will detonate all the antimatter bombs."

'Detonate the bombs?'

"Didn't you give us your storage item?"

The Divine Person, looking at Fang Can's current thin clothing, asked in confusion, "So where did you hide the detonator for the antimatter bombs?"

In response to the Divine Person's question, Fang Can rapidly transmitted information through the mental link in the mind network:

"There is no detonator at all. From the very beginning, those antimatter bombs were triggered; they could explode at any time."

"Whatthefuck!" F-Superman widened his eyes in shock.

Will Power King: "What did you say? Were all those antimatter bombs we contacted previously in a triggered state?"

Even the Rotten Li Huowang couldn't hold it back this time, filled with post-fear.

After all, he was the one who placed the bombs; if even one exploded randomly, he would be the first to die.

"Mm. When I had Big Brother Ji produce the antimatter bombs, I set a usage program inside them, randomly emitting numbers 0 to 9 outward every second."

Fang Can explained calmly, "As long as the emitted number is 0, the bomb will detonate; conversely, 1 to 9 will remain in a closed state."

"With my Luck ability, I am fully confident that I will randomly hit the number 0 only when needed, so there is no need to worry."

"But why do it this way? Why not just detonate remotely?"

"Because the antimatter bombs are scattered, and the explosion will be accompanied by a massive electromagnetic pulse."

Fang Can explained calmly, "Big Brother Ji worried that continuous detonation might cause the internal electronic components to be damaged by the electromagnetic pulse; manual human detonation is safer. This is also recorded in "The Wandering Earth 2"!"

"Those four-turn cultivators are very hard to kill. If even one antimatter bomb fails to explode, leaving a gap in the blast, they might seize the loophole and escape."

"So Big Brother Ji directly handed the initiative of the explosion to me; I will decide when to detonate."

As he spoke, Fang Can slowly raised his right fist, perfectly synchronized with Ji Donglai's movement outside the space.

Or rather, at this moment, under the Will Power King's mental link, both of their movements were directed solely by Fang Can.

Facing the ring of gazes from the four-turn cultivators outside, Ji Donglai (Fang Can) lightly snapped his fingers with a crisp sound.

In the next instant, under the influence of the Luck ability and following Fang Can's will, the random signals inside the hundreds of small antimatter bombs all rolled to the number 0.

——0000000……0000——

Amidst this ground covered in zeros, the eyes of the four-turn cultivators, whose attention was entirely focused on the center of Guiyun Peak, immediately saw hundreds of suns rising within their line of sight.

At this moment, even the sun itself could no longer describe the brightness of the explosion.

Because at the moment of eruption, its brightness surpassed that of the sun by a thousand or ten thousand times; martial artists below the three-turn level who looked directly at it were instantly blinded by the terrifying light.

The nineteen four-turn cultivators stood upon the lotus throne, staring at the blinding light filling the surroundings, too shocked to speak.

At this moment, a thought simultaneously floated into their minds: 'This is... Reverse Demon Source · Heaven and Earth Share Life? What a powerful move.'

'Must! Escape before the explosion swallows the body!'

'Cannot fight with force! If we block it directly, we might die!!!'

Might die???

Will absolutely die!!!

Will easily die!!!
