473: Chapter 471 Nuclear Explosion in the Sky

Who had arrived?

This question popped into everyone's mind, but in the next instant, they simultaneously recalled the owner of that voice.

It was from those live broadcast scenes they had watched repeatedly.

Whether they had once questioned, accepted, or idolized him, that voice had appeared again just as they were feeling lost, deeply desperate, and powerless!

It was merely two arrows.

Zhou Chong, who had seemed invincible to everyone present, was sent flying hundreds of meters away by a single arrow.

Chen Xueying, who had been flapping her wings in the sky, holding a great bow and firing ice arrows—making everyone present lose even the will to flee—was actually shot down like an ordinary bird, her blood splattering across the sky.

Before she even hit the ground, she was incinerated into nothingness by Black Flame.

Everyone looked up and saw a black dot several thousand meters away to the southwest, rapidly enlarging amidst flickering lightning. Since the physical fitness of most people present was already far beyond that of ordinary humans, they immediately saw the appearance of the person standing on the back of a rooster, holding a great bow with gold and red patterns.

"Chu Xuan?"

"That's right, it's Chu Xuan! He's here!"

While the people were overcome with excitement, the lightning came roaring in.

Chen Feng and Gao Dong exchanged a glance.

"There's something wrong with that bow!"

"We can't give him another chance to draw it!"

The two looked at each other and roared simultaneously; immediately, countless afterimages of punches and kicks flew toward him.

However, amidst that lightning and thunder, those afterimages were easily dodged, landing a thousand meters away and exploding with a boom.

The top of a commercial building was struck by a punch shadow and instantly exploded; as if hit by a missile, its roof was shorn off.

At the same time, the lightning arrived.

"Thunderous Might!"

Boom—!!

In an instant, the lightning exploded, dust rose everywhere, and a chaotic crackling sound filled the area. Amidst the flickering electric arcs, the blast spread over a hundred meters.

Everyone retreated together, their eyes filled with horror.

"What is that thing?"

"Such terrifying lightning!"

"Is that lightning emanating from that rooster?"

"That's definitely not a rooster. Where would you find a rooster that generates electricity?!"

As the dust settled and the lightning gradually faded, Gao Dong could be seen with his legs glowing and his entire body charred, attempting to flee. He was so fast that the wind he kicked up created sonic booms.

In the blink of an eye, he had sprinted a thousand meters away, escaping the Great Hall.

"Quack! Lord Peng is here, where do you think you're running?!"

Behind Gao Dong, amidst the dispersing dust, lightning flashed again. A rooster the size of half a man spoke in human tongue and flickered forward, catching up to the top of Gao Dong's head and striking down with a claw.

"FastAPI Crack-Sky Thunder Astral Claw!"

Snap!

Accompanied by a burst of lightning, Gao Dong's head was instantly crushed. Before his brains and blood could even splatter, they were electrocuted into charred ash by the flickering blue-white arcs.

Such clean and efficient killing methods immediately drew everyone's attention.

They had originally thought this was just a mutated giant rooster used for aerial transport; they hadn't expected its strength to be so terrifying.

However, most people's attention was still focused on the center of the Great Hall, where a figure had already been revealed within the dust.

At this moment, the gold and red great bow in Chu Xuan's hand had disappeared at some point.

Holding a pitch-black long saber, he suddenly brought his foot down, directly crushing the head of Chen Feng, whose body was still crackling with electric arcs.

The headless body twitched a few times, looking as if it were still trying to struggle and crawl up from the ground.

"Still not dead?"

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow and swung his hand repeatedly. Saber light flashed, instantly hacking Chen Feng's headless body into dozens of pieces.

[Your spirituality value +1500]

...

[You have killed World Traitor · White Tiger Subordinate · Chen Xueying.

This creature had 1,150 points of spirituality value remaining, all of which have been absorbed by you after being burned by the Fire of Nirvana. It had 8,750 points of spiritual essence remaining; White Tiger harvested 1,750 points, and the remaining spirituality value has provided you with 2,800 points.

From this kill, you have gained a total of 3,950 spirituality value points.]

...

[You have slain World Traitor · White Tiger Subordinate · Gao Dong, your spirituality value +1200]

...

[You have obtained rule fragment x2]

[Your spirituality value limit +400]

A series of System prompts arrived, and Chu Xuan's eyes flickered slightly: "The spirituality value harvested when not killed by the Fire of Nirvana is indeed quite different. Most of it must have been taken by White Tiger..."

Fortunately, the rule fragments were still rewarded.

"As for the 1,500 spirituality value from the first System prompt... it seems one of them isn't dead yet." Chu Xuan's gaze fell upon the bloodied Zhou Chong hundreds of meters away; the Black Flame on his chest and abdomen had already extinguished.

"You... how is it possible..."

Zhou Chong struggled to get up from the ground, staring fixedly at Chu Xuan in the distance, his mouth full of blood: "I sensed that your life level is inferior to mine, but you... how can you be so strong? You can actually erode my spirituality..."

Chu Xuan's expression was indifferent as he walked forward with his saber: "Revelation only arranged for the three of you? If it's just this, you're not qualified to kill me..."

Zhou Chong's face distorted, and he fell to his knees with a thud. He wanted to get up again, but his whole body was powerless as he watched Chu Xuan draw closer and closer.

He suddenly threw his head back and hissed, "White Tiger, aren't you coming out yet?!"

"Truly trash. What use are you?"

A gruff voice rang out from nowhere. Everyone looked up and around, but they didn't see anyone appear.

"Up there! A nuke is coming!" Lin Jie, among the crowd, suddenly looked up and pointed toward the high sky. His face turned pale for a moment, but he quickly calmed down.

The crowd was confused, but as they looked up, several Rank 10 Transcendents' faces changed drastically: "That's... a bomber?!"

As the words fell, everyone saw a faint streak of light diving through the clouds.

It was indeed a bomber.

"That is..."

Everyone's faces changed as they looked at a thick object mounted on the belly of the bomber. Many people felt their scalps go numb for no reason, all realizing that it couldn't be an ordinary missile.

Not far from Lin Jie, a person covered in dust whose face couldn't be clearly seen appeared at some point. He was about to raise his hand, but after seeing Lin Jie's regained composure, he slowly lowered it.

Almost simultaneously, from all directions, red lights streaked through the clouds and shot toward the target.

Boom—!!

In the high sky several thousand meters away, a powerful roar suddenly erupted. A giant fireball expanded in the blink of an eye, looking like a sun descending upon the world.

Heat waves rolled, and a hurricane swept across.

Trees were blown sideways, countless windows were shattered by the shockwave, and the Great Hall—which spanned over a hundred thousand square meters but was now mostly ruins—saw its walls crack and completely collapse.

The crowd below was dumbfounded.

The Transcendents were alright; even those of low Rank could still stand, only raising their arms to block the incoming heat wave. But some ordinary people hiding on the outskirts were forced to the ground by the immense pressure of the roar, unable to get up.

At the edge of a corner, the staff member still carrying the camera slumped on the ground, the lens focused on the sky, staring in shock.

As the roar faded, countless gray-white dust particles began to fall.

"Quick! Clean up the nuclear fallout!!"

In the crowd, Minister Liu Fumin shouted at the top of his lungs. This fallout didn't mean much to most of the Transcendents below, but for ordinary people, it was a catastrophe.

Figures immediately soared into the air from below, either shooting jets of water or emitting light of Purification.

Among them was a very fat man who suddenly inhaled deeply, sucking most of the dust into his belly.

"Benevolence of a woman! What time is it, and you're still worried about this? If you don't die, who will!" That gruff voice rang out again:

"Huo Gui, it's your turn!"

Everyone saw that in front of the bloodied chest and abdomen of Zhou Chong—who was already unable to hold on and about to collapse—a palm actually stretched out from thin air, disappearing with a light tap.

Zhou Chong, who was touched by this finger, saw his chest and abdomen suddenly swell, emitting a crimson light. An indescribable aura of destruction radiated from within him.

"What is this?" Zhou Chong's bloated face changed drastically. He looked at his own body in utter terror and hissed, "White Tiger, what did you put inside me?"

Before his voice could finish, a saber light flashed.

A head flew high into the air!

Zhou Chong's body collapsed, yet his chest and abdomen continued to swell.

"heart of the earth?" Chu Xuan's face darkened slightly.

The gruff voice rang out again from nowhere:

"Chu Xuan, this heart of the earth has an explosion radius of five kilometers, and its peak temperature can reach 100 million degrees Celsius. You have ten seconds. With your current strength, you can certainly escape, but the others won't be able to!"

"Or, you can leave with Zhou Chong's corpse. With your current physique, you might not necessarily be blown to death."

"Don't you want to save the world?"

"In this step, how will you choose?!!"
