124: Chapter 124 Super Ferocious Beast, Cultivator Enters
Although they cannot compare to the innate force fields of true Transcendent Life, these creatures are already basically immune to the damage of conventional weapons other than nuclear weapons.
As incomplete Transcendent Life, lacking Transcendent Law Runes to provide transcendent energy, they can only sustain their lives by consuming high-energy food.
Wang An estimated that these Super Beasts were currently digesting the other beasts they had hunted in the Forbidden Zone.
Sure enough, a few days later, a large number of severely injured beasts and Mutant creatures from various Forbidden Zones began fleeing outward.
Based on this phenomenon, the authorities quickly determined that even more terrifying beasts were hunting them.
Since modern technological weapons could not enter the Forbidden Zone, the authorities dispatched a team of Cultivators this time.
Upon receiving the news from General Wang that the Cultivators were entering the fray, the Incarnation decisively concealed his form and entered the Forbidden Zone together with them to see what was going on with the Super Beast.
In truth, by now, most of the beasts with a life level of around 5 in the outer perimeter had already been hunted by the Exploration Team.
There were even teams of Cultivators organized by the authorities specifically for hunting them.
However, because the number of Cultivators was relatively small at the time and they were highly likely to face encirclement by numerous beasts, they had not ventured too deep or wiped them all out.
This time, in addition to carrying fuel-air bombs, the most powerful weapons besides nuclear bombs, they also had some weapons crafted by Artifact Refiners using rare alloys.
These were inscribed with basic runes for sharpness, hardness, and the like.
Although they could not break through the defensive force fields of Transcendent Life, they were extremely sharp against ordinary beasts.
Following this Exploration Team, the Incarnation discovered that besides a few Cultivators, there were also Professionals similar to [Xingyi Quan Grandmasters], whose strength in melee combat and with cold weapons was not weak in the slightest.
As they swung their fists or slashed with their weapons, a certain type of airflow was attached to them.
The Incarnation carefully observed with his mental power and discovered that these airflows were energy currents formed by the combination of True Qi, intent, and will, possessing astonishing destructive power.
They were already capable of breaking through the thick defenses of ordinary beasts; a single punch or slash usually resulted in a shower of flesh and blood.
With Cultivators also casting spells from the sidelines to provide support, the group encountered very few obstacles.
With an average life level of over 8, their movement speed was naturally extremely fast, and they penetrated deep into the core area in just half a day, covering a journey of hundreds to thousands of li.
Along the way, the scene was one of utter devastation, with blood everywhere, trees toppled, and mountains collapsed.
"Instructor Liu, judging by the scenes along the way, an incredible beast has indeed been born in the core area."
"Our main purpose in coming in this time is to use bombs to eliminate them and prevent them from continuing to grow."
"Grandmasters have already begun to make a breakthrough to Transcendent Life; as long as we can stall for this period, everything will be fine."
Hearing this, the Incarnation felt a mix of surprise and doubt.
"Huh?"
"I didn't expect the authorities to have already cultivated people capable of attempting a breakthrough to Transcendent Life."
Thinking of this, the main body, Wang An, connected to the status of [Supernatural Source of Life Primordial Qi] and perceived, in the ethereal realm, those lives absorbing Vital Qi.
In an instant, a massive amount of information flooded his mind. Fortunately, he was now a Transcendent Life, so he had a buffer.
"Exclude plant life and lives below level 9."
Wang An filtered out the information on low-level lives.
The information reduced significantly. Aside from a few inner disciples in Sanjiangyuan, Wang An also sensed several auras of level 10 lives in the capital.
"They don't seem like Cultivators; their auras are similar to this Instructor Liu's."
"Moreover, there are also not-so-weak auras in various sites of the Three Teachings."
Wang An calculated the cause and effect and destiny.
"It's actually the reason of Spirit Rice and Spirit Wheat; no wonder I hadn't seen these people before."
These Professionals capable of attempting to break through to Transcendent Life.
They had all consumed the spirit plant staple foods cultivated in the Tianhe Dojo, and coupled with their own extraordinary talent and the strong support of the country, they had reached their current levels.
Feeling the cultivation methods of these people, which differed from the [Heavenly Talisman Dao Foundation Cultivator], Wang An was not in the slightest worried that they would create a new transcendent path and vie for his own influence in spreading the Dao.
They cultivated using Vital Qi, so what they attained was naturally the transcendence on his path, only with some differences from the mainstream [Heavenly Talisman Dao Foundation Cultivator].
Doing so would only perfect the laws and domains of Vital Qi.
"Since China has already begun to see level 10 lives, the Professionals in other countries shouldn't be too far behind."
Thinking of this, the main body simply began searching for Professionals with potential across the country and the world.
He provided them with some Vital Qi crystals for cultivating to level 10, directly incorporating all possibilities into his own system.
Meanwhile, the Incarnation followed the official team into the core area.
In a deep mountain, a giant black chimpanzee a hundred meters tall was resting in a valley.
Looking at the scattered beast corpses nearby, one could tell that this Super Beast had just eaten its fill and was sleeping soundly.
The surface of this chimpanzee was covered by a layer of special force field, and its energy level was a full tier lower than the Incarnation's.
This time, in addition to the necessary bomb weapons, the official team also had some talismans developed to conceal their auras.
However, such talismans could not be used too close to the beast, or they would easily be discovered.
Fortunately, they had prepared for multiple contingencies.
When they were 200 meters away from this Super Beast, they planted the fuel-air bomb and set the time using a mechanical watch.
Everyone retreated rapidly. High above in the sky, unknown to them, a satellite was already locked tightly onto the core area.
Although it could not take pictures due to interference from the strong magnetic field, the specially modified military satellite could distinguish the location of large-yield explosions.
The Incarnation did not leave with the official team; he wanted to see with his own eyes the collision between modern weapons and the Super Beast.
An hour or two passed, and the members of the team had all run more than 100 kilometers away.
The countdown on the mechanical watch on the fuel-air bomb reached zero.
The warhead exploded with a dull, short "poof," like a giant air bag being suddenly burst.
A milky-white, flammable cloud surged out, spreading rapidly like a thick fog, hugging the ground, winding around tree trunks, and drilling into stone crevices.
An extremely bright white-orange fireball exploded from within the fog.
Another "boom" sounded, like muffled thunder rolling up from underground, deep, heavy, and continuous. The fireball spread horizontally, forming a huge hemisphere of fire.
A visible wall of air pressure swept outward, accompanied by the screeching sound of air being torn apart.
Trees were snapped at the waist, giant rocks were sent flying, soil was stripped away in large chunks, plants near the center were directly carbonized and scorched, and branches and leaves slightly further away instantly dehydrated, curled up, and turned black.
After the explosion, the oxygen in the central area was instantly burned away, the flames were briefly extinguished, and a circle of black, dead zone appeared; then, air rushed back in, kicking up a second round of hot wind.
A scorched circular crater was left on the ground, the surrounding vegetation was carbonized, and the air was filled with a burnt, earthy smell and a sense of high-temperature dryness.
"Roar~ Roar~"
At this moment, a black shadow appeared from within, letting out an angry roar.
It beat the ground from time to time, venting its emotions.
This was an extremely irritable Super Beast, but because of the biological force field protecting its body, it had not suffered much damage.
The satellite in the sky observed the high-energy explosion here, and an old, specially modified mechanical aircraft hovering at an altitude of over ten thousand meters dropped a fuel-air bomb with ten times the yield.
This core lethal range reached 3 km, and the shockwave affected areas tens of kilometers away.
Watching this scene of heaven weeping and earth wailing, the Incarnation also marveled.
"Scenes like this are rare, not to mention that I am personally here at the center experiencing its power."
