41: Chapter 41 What nuclear weapons? It's just an upgrade!

The "Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Art": one revolution, one heaven; one revolution, one life or death.

Break through, and the horizon broadens.

Fail, and one's body and Dao perish.

A visible transparent cyclone suddenly formed, centered on Chen You.

Wild winds whipped up sand, stones, and grass from the ground, swirling and howling, spinning faster and expanding further!

One meter in diameter... five meters... ten meters!

Inside the command room, everyone stood up, holding their breath as they stared intently at the main screen, which displayed a scene that looked like a myth come to life.

"Wind speed 30 meters per second! It's still increasing!"

"Atmospheric pressure in the target area is dropping sharply! The temperature has risen by 5 degrees Celsius!"

"Is this... is he creating a cyclonic center out of thin air?!"

Biological expert Zhang Ping muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with a fanatical light.

This had completely exceeded the scope of physics as he understood it.

This wasn't energy at all; this was rules!

It was a higher-order power forcibly twisting the rules of the real world!

Director Li Guoan gripped the handrail tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

He knew better than anyone that this was only the beginning.

Rumble!

Above in the sky, the already thick clouds seemed to be pulled by gravity and began to spin wildly, forming a massive cloud vortex that covered several square kilometers.

The center of the clouds was pitch black as ink, with lightning snakes dancing wildly.

Daylight was instantly transformed into night.

An indescribable, terrifying pressure descended from the sky, enveloping the entire base.

"My God..."

A young researcher looked at the apocalyptic scene outside the window, his legs going soft as he slumped directly onto the floor.

"Steady!" Zhang Yunhai barked. "All units maintain high alert! This isn't the end of the world!"

Though he said this, his heart was drumming frantically as he watched the thin figure sitting motionless amidst the wild winds and thunder on the screen.

This was too exaggerated!

This was just a breakthrough of a cultivation technique from a game!

If this was the commotion of breaking through to the second revolution, then what about the third, the fourth...

And even the ninth revolution? What kind of world-destroying scene would that be?

At this moment, Chen You, at the center of the storm, was enduring pain far beyond what the outside world could imagine.

The spiritual energy forcibly sucked into his body was no longer gentle energy, but the most violent of blades.

They washed through his meridians and tore at his flesh, as if they wanted to crush his entire being and then reassemble it.

Intense pain came in waves, one after another, nearly drowning his consciousness completely.

But he held onto his last sliver of clarity with a death grip.

The methods of the "Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Art" naturally surfaced in his mind—

"The world is the furnace, I am the pill; draw the fires of ten thousand laws to forge an indestructible body!"

He understood.

This technique was not some gentle cultivation method at all.

It was domineering to the extreme!

Every breakthrough was an act of seeking life within certain death!

"Refine... for me!"

Chen You let out a silent roar in his heart.

He gave up resistance, instead actively opening his mind and body to let the violent torrent of spiritual energy tear everything down.

Meridians snapped, then reconstructed!

Bones shattered, then healed!

The sea of qi in his dantian, under extreme compression, almost collapsed into a singularity.

"Report! Target's vital signs are dropping sharply!"

"Heart rate has fallen below 40! Blood pressure is too low! Brain waves are erratic!"

"Director! He's going to die if this continues!"

The head of the medical team let out a shrill scream.

Director Li Guoan's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the screen, his teeth grinding audibly.

He wanted to order a team to rush in, but logic told him that anyone who approached now would be torn to shreds by that terrifying energy storm.

There was nothing he could do.

He could only wait.

He could only believe.

Believe in this young man he had chosen, and believe in the "Immortal Path" that had given hope to the huaxia civilization!

Just as everyone in the command center was falling into despair.

BOOM—!!!

A massive sound, seemingly from the primordial era, didn't come through the ears but exploded directly in the depths of everyone's soul!

The spinning cloud vortex, the howling cyclone, the wildly dancing lightning snakes...

Everything came to a dead stop in an instant.

Heaven and earth fell into a dead silence.

That terrifying pressure vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Immediately after, the energy core inside Chen You, which had been compressed to the limit at the center of the storm, suddenly burst open!

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

Only a soft, yet seemingly all-penetrating pale golden light bloomed from within his body.

Wherever the light passed, the gravel on the ground turned to powder, and the withered yellow grass regained its vitality.

In the sky, the massive, lead-heavy cloud vortex was forcibly pierced from the center by this golden light, leaving a hole.

A beam of brilliant afternoon sunlight passed through the hole in the clouds, like a holy spotlight, precisely projecting onto the cross-legged Chen You.

He slowly opened his eyes.

The world was clearer than ever before.

He could see the clear veins on a leaf a hundred meters away and hear the slight sound of insects turning the soil underground.

He could even "see" the faint aura of vitality and blood on Director Li Guoan and the others, representing their life force.

[Ding! "Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Art" technique breakthrough. Current Realm: Second Revolution!]

[Ding! Congratulations, your realm has broken through. Current Realm: Qi Refining Second Layer!]

[Ding! Your maximum HP +500, maximum MP +200!]

[Ding! Your Attack +100, Defense +50!]

A series of system prompts flashed before his eyes.

Chen You felt the spiritual power within him, which was several times thicker than before, and the explosive strength surging through his limbs and bones.

This was... the Second Revolution of the "Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Art"!

The spiritual energy impact of the Second Revolution had conveniently triggered a realm increase?

Qi Refining Second Layer!

"He succeeded..."

"He succeeded!!!"

Inside the command room, after several seconds of dead silence, a mountain-shaking roar of cheers erupted!

Countless people wept with joy, embracing each other in excitement.

They had witnessed history!

They had witnessed humanity's first step into the transcendent!

Director Li Guoan's tense face finally relaxed, and the immense joy made his body sway slightly.

He leaned against the table, his eyes reddening, as he repeatedly muttered: "Good... good..."

He started to walk, wanting to rush out.

But just then—

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

The red satellite phone in his pocket, which possessed the highest encryption level, emitted a sharp and urgent vibration.

Director Li Guoan's expression changed instantly.

No more than five people knew this number.

And there was only one place that would call using the highest emergency priority.

He took a deep breath and answered the phone, his voice regaining its usual steadiness: "It's me."

From the other end of the line came a majestic and urgent voice, every word hitting like a heavy hammer.

"Guoan, explain yourself to me immediately!"

"In Southwest China, just three minutes ago, military satellites from every country in the world detected a super-high-spec energy burst with an intensity far exceeding our theoretical limits!"

"There's no nuclear radiation, no shockwave, yet the energy reaction is comparable to a strategic nuclear weapon!"

"Now, the Pentagon has called the General Command, and Secretary of Defense Holman is personally questioning whether we are secretly testing a new kind of 'clean' nuclear weapon!"

"In Europe, everyone's eyes are fixed on us!"

"Give me an explanation within one minute!"

"Tell me, exactly what happened there?!"

Director Li Guoan held the phone and slowly turned around, his gaze passing through the observation window.

It landed on the young man in the distance, bathed in sunlight, who had just completed the first immortal cultivation breakthrough in human history.
