Chapter 274: 100,000 Tsar Bombas and the Point-by-Point Review Stream

On that day, the people of the Wujie for the first time felt the terror of being dominated by the sun.

Every civilian outdoors in the various nations could clearly feel it.

The morning's crisp sunlight instantly became intense.

When they looked up in confusion, they saw a massive, blazing column of light in the distance!

The instant it appeared, the corresponding information about that column formed in the minds of the people of the various nations.

【Afterglow of an antimatter weapon explosion!!!】

Tsar Bomba, the crystallization of human scientific wisdom.

It was the most powerful technological weapon in human history before the Great Collapse.

Its explosive yield equaled 50 million tons of TNT, approximately 3,300 times that of Little Boy, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima!

At the moment of explosion, the fireball had a radius of eight kilometers, and the mushroom cloud rose sixty-four kilometers high.

The shockwave could instantly flatten all structures within a fifty-five-kilometer radius and cause burns to pedestrians over one hundred seventy kilometers away.

It was a terrifying weapon capable of annihilating an entire city, the ultimate culmination of human ingenuity in destruction against their own kind.

A single one could eliminate the entire eight-million-person population of New York City.

Even the nineteen fourth-transformation martial artists atop Guiyun Peak, unleashing their strongest possible strike combined, could achieve no more than the destructive power of five to six Tsar Bombas.

The reason Tsar Bomba was mentioned was to use it as a baseline to introduce the concept of antimatter weapons.

Antimatter weapons!

Upon contact with normal matter, annihilation occurs through mass-energy conversion: one kilogram of antimatter can match the effect of 43 million tons of TNT.

A single one-kilogram antimatter bomb could unleash destructive power nearly equal to that of the Tsar Bomba.

Yet even in New Nation, where technology advances by leaps and bounds, the long-term stockpile of antimatter bombs totaled only thirty kilograms.

Roughly equivalent to five to six times the energy release of a peak fourth-transformation martial artist's strongest strike.

But now!

After receiving technological support from the Interstellar Federation, this friendly competitor.

New Nation's technology began a giant leap forward!

In simple terms, New Nation's antimatter production increased ↑200000%↑!

In just over a month, with the full effort of psychics aiding construction.

Antimatter production surged from the original fifty kilograms to one hundred tons!!!

That is to say!

At this moment, Ji Donglai possessed!

The terrifying power of one hundred thousand Tsar Bombas detonating simultaneously.

What an awe-inspiring, terrifying, world-shaking force this was!

With this pure force of destruction, it could instantly unleash a terrifying might capable of wiping out humanity.

Merely the first wave of destructive shockwaves could reduce a nation spanning five hundred thousand square kilometers to rubble.

The ensuing shockwaves and secondary disasters could kill every human on Earth within a single day.

The energy released by this strike now matched the full-power blow of a peak fifth-transformation martial artist.

Yet his enemies were merely nineteen fourth-transformation martial artists.

The civilians of the Wujie nations:????????

They stared at the colossal fire column rising into the sky, their eyes filled with unease and terror!

What's happening?

What is this voice inside their heads?

Is it a ghost speaking?

And the things this voice said were terrifying—so terrifying!

It claimed that after the explosion began at the borderlands of the various nations, if unimpeded, one-tenth of the territories of Dayan, Da Chu, and Da Zhou would turn to fragments.

That meant they would all die?

Ever since that light column shot into the sky.

A voice had continuously echoed in the minds of every person in the various nations, explaining antimatter weapons in terms they could understand.

To civilians, the voice told them:

If the fireball comes for you, you will die!

To martial artists, the voice told them:

That fireball is equivalent to the peak strike of a fifth-transformation martial artist!

To civilians or players who had crossed over from the present world, the voice told them:

This antimatter bomb equals the explosive yield of how many conventional explosives!

Even Ji Donglai and Fang Can within his inner space.

Could now hear that familiar voice muttering to itself!

'Why is my inner echo that annoying debate bastard Bai Xiaosheng?' Fang Can shook his head, and information about Bai Xiaosheng surfaced in his mind.

Have you heard the story of the first-generation Bai Xiaosheng, the fifth-transformation martial artist?

Countless years ago, the legendary first-generation Bai Xiaosheng, who loved debating martial arts, reported a terrifying battle between two fifth-transformation martial artists as he ascended to the fifth transformation.

Using the celestial resonance of his fifth-transformation breakthrough, Bai Xiaosheng enabled every person within a hundred-thousand-li radius to clearly observe every detail of the battle.

And according to each person's neural response, high-level martial artists saw the battle in real-time live broadcast.

While ordinary people saw it frame-by-frame in slow motion: what took a fifth-transformation martial artist a second to resolve appeared to ordinary people as at least several minutes of paused, explained commentary!

Afterwards, later generations named that live broadcast—The Point-by-Point Review Stream.

And at this moment, hearing the voice in his mind explain, Fang Can suddenly understood.

No wonder I felt that Baixiaosheng had hidden something—he was trying to use our battle to livestream his breakthrough to the Fifth Transformation.

Baixiaosheng! You're despicable!

In the Mental Link of the Yi Neng Wang, Li Huowang exclaimed: "Gua! It's the legendary Compilation Stream!"

"If you add high-octane battle clips from Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball, One Punch Man, and Tian Yuan Breakthrough, you'd be invincible!"

"That'd be completely ruined, what a low-budget fanfic! Is this Baixiaosheng just back from some Lu's training?"

Fang Can was utterly speechless, suddenly feeling drained.

Never thought I'd one day become the protagonist of a Compilation Stream!

This Baixiaosheng might team up with Li Huowang and start a duo of hackneyed joke performances!

Not only was there voice narration, but as Baixiaosheng entered his breakthrough state, the Heavenly Human Resonance deepened further.

The next instant, a swastika Buddhist seal formed beneath him.

The Supreme Secret of the Buddha-Dao: The Fifth Transformation of the Heart-Reading Divine Sound of the Precious Temple—【Zhongmu Kuikui】

A screen directly appeared in the vision of every person in every nation.

Da Chu

Xiang Ziyu, crouched over her desk, lifted her head and widened her brilliant purple eyes in shock.

In her vision, her father, Emperor Xiang Hongtu Hongtu, stood within a world composed of pure light.

In the imperial harem, watching Emperor Xiang Hongtu Hongtu, Xiang Longtao's eyes flickered with a gleam of vengeance.

Through Baixiaosheng's explanation, he now understood: his father was trapped in a death sentence surrounded by antimatter bombs.

Su Xin Zhai

Xi Xing and the other nuns were suffering withdrawal symptoms after Fang Can's departure, filled with emptiness and loneliness.

But the next moment, seeing the image emerge in her eyes, she exclaimed in utter astonishment: "The Abbess was attacked on Guiyun Peak? A Fifth Transformation technique? Then where is my Master Fang Can?"

Da Yan Wang Fu

Prince Qing stared at the hundred-day-same-sky scene formed by the antimatter explosion, speechless in shock.

Jie Jianshan

Jiang Ningan halted his cultivation.

Having just emerged from three days and nights of invincible cultivation, she stared at the image before her, startled.

Observing the situation on Guiyun Peak and finding neither her master nor Fang Can, she unconsciously exhaled in relief.

Within the abandoned ancient city of Da Chu

Fang Can's harem and followers watched the scene showing the fourth-transformation cultivators trapped in death.

Recalling Fang Can's recent words—that he would kill over a dozen fourth-transformation cultivators—they were stirred to fervor, each chanting his name.

Da Zhou

On the way back to Hui Fan Yin Ancient Temple, Luo Yanmo, his expression shaken, watched the scene rising into the sky and murmured a Buddhist chant.

At this moment!

Da Yan, Da Chu, Da Zhou, the Buddha Kingdom, the Fiery Kingdom…

Jie Jianshan, Su Xin Zhai, Lian Tianmen, Qi Yi Ge, Dian Dao Men, Hu Sha Men…

Non-cultivators, Tui Fan Body, First Transformation, Second Transformation, Third Transformation, Fourth Transformation…

The people of all nations within a hundred-thousand-li radius centered on Baixiaosheng.

Within this 【Zhongmu Kuikui】 effect, with the eyes of all living beings, they were about to witness the ultimate battle: a collision between superpowers and martial cultivation across two worlds!

And at this moment.

Not only in the minds of outsiders.

The fourth-transformation cultivators on-site were also linked into this.

Hearing Baixiaosheng's explanation—that this was equivalent to a full-power strike from a Fifth Transformation peak—they were terrified, every hair on their bodies standing on end, their eyes filled with the will to die!

At the darkest moment of matter-antimatter annihilation, the peak of Guiyun Peak became a hell of light.

The figures of nineteen fourth-transformation martial cultivators were compressed into twisted silhouettes; terrifying pressure and heat formed a world-ending red lotus, enclosing them within.

First-transformation cultivators were crushed instantly by the Mach shockwave of the explosion, with no chance to react.

Although the antimatter weapon's destruction only took an instant to blot out heaven and earth and obliterate all,

the neural reflexes of the fourth-transformation cultivators here operated at a hundred to a thousand times the speed of sound.

What was an instant to ordinary people could be stretched by at least ten thousand times for them.

Yet within this antimatter confinement, watching the surrounding energy currents encroach and the space for survival shrink bit by bit, they felt even greater terror.

In that moment, they had already thought of their last words! This was a Fifth Transformation strike—could they survive?

"You will live!"

In the next instant, a fourth-transformation cultivator transmitted a message via mental projection at supersonic speed, making a solemn declaration to all.

"Think carefully—how crude is this strike, equivalent to a Fifth Transformation peak!"

"It's nothing but pure force piled up, with no spatial sealing."

"The energy isn't concentrated at a single point—quantity without quality! Any Fifth Transformation's physical body could roam freely within this space."

"Even though we're only at the Fourth Transformation, exposed to these energy currents, holding out for one breath is still possible."

"If not for being surrounded by so many bombs and absorbing all the damage, any single one would merely grievously wound our bodies."

"But now, one breath… is enough time for us to do much."

"That's all I have to say. Whether you survive from here on depends on your own fate."

Emperor Xiang Hongtu Hongtu gazed coldly at the world around him, flooded with light pollution.

His right fist clenched tight! The muscles on his arm suddenly knotted like coiled vines!

His eyes burned with an overbearing, unshakable conviction.

If it was only at this level, he could survive!

In the next instant, no one saw how he struck.

By the time they could react, a straight punch like the cleaving of heaven and earth had already landed.
