Chapter 141 No Fear

The wilderness outskirts, a dusty yellow expanse, the center of a massive crater now glowed fiery red.

Flames and thick smoke billowed continuously from the depths, soaring skyward.

The temperature at the crater's core had reached eight hundred degrees Celsius.

In a short time, some rocks and soil with lower melting points had already begun to melt and soften.

Massive amounts of plant roots and stems were incinerated into charcoal.

Li Cheng颐 stood at the bottom of the center, arms outstretched, radiating an immense amount of heat from within.

Waves of heat emanated from him, forming circles of hot wind that swept in all directions.

The assimilation of the Primitive Celestial Virus into his body granted him unparalleled regenerative power.

This regenerative power directly led to a terrifying, uninhibited increase in his body's strength.

"...It's been a long time since I've felt this comfortable," he murmured.

His heartbeat sounded like a war drum, thumping, constantly expanding outward, vibrating everything around him.

When he inhaled, a cold wind would stir around the edge of the deep pit.

When he exhaled, the surrounding temperature would instantly rise by several hundred degrees.

The area within a kilometer radius was affected by him.

Opening his eyes, Li Cheng颐 looked around.

His body was still increasing in strength, but with the support of the virus, there were no immediate problems.

However, the Ya Long (Tooth Dragon) that had been fighting him just moments ago was nowhere to be seen.

"Where did he go?"

He was slightly surprised, but then didn't care.

Anyway, at this point, whether Ya Long was there or not was no longer important.

He lifted his foot and took a step forward.

Boom!

With a thunderous roar, the ground directly in front of him collapsed as if struck by lightning, shattering into countless cracks.

'Is my body mass too great?' Li Cheng颐 thought grimly.

Strength was not without its price, and the path of eternal life was ultimately destined to contend against the world.

Because the stronger one became, the greater the consumption required to sustain their existence.

This was the key reason why eternal life was annihilated soon after its initial appearance.

But now, with the formation of the taboo system, eternal life had embarked on the path of true ascension.

This was extremely damaging to the world.

'And my body temperature... seems a bit high.' Li Cheng頤 lifted his foot, glanced at the melting crimson magma beneath his feet, and frowned slightly.

This meant that the temperature of his body had reached over a thousand degrees Celsius.

With such a body temperature... one could imagine how great the strength within his body had to be to naturally radiate such a terrifying temperature.

"Monster!! Die!!!"

Suddenly, a roar came from the direction of the Yin Moon in the sky.

Li Cheng颐 raised his head and looked up.

There, in the blue sky, was a small black dot falling straight down towards him.

It was Ya Long!?

Li Cheng颐's face showed a hint of mockery, and he was about to speak when he suddenly saw that the other person was holding a gray-black metal ball the size of a bathtub high in his hand.

As the ball fell rapidly, a sense of anxiety and urgency quickly arose in his mind.

'What is that?' Li Cheng颐 narrowed his eyes and suddenly flashed to the left.

His body streaked across the ground in a red blur.

At the instant his weight and speed reached their peak, the earth rumbled.

Countless cracks burst open, and magma splattered, like a volcanic eruption.

Because of the increase in his own mass, although his strength also increased, his speed did not increase much.

Unlike him, Ya Long fell from a height, and as soon as he landed, he burst out at ten times the speed of sound, approaching him.

"Get out!!"

Li Cheng颐 felt more and more uneasy and backhanded a punch at the other party.

A huge airflow surged out from the end of his fist, compressed and exploded.

But the speed was still different, and Ya Long dodged and quickly approached him.

When the distance between the two was only ten meters, he grinned and slammed the ball in his hand.

*Crack.*

It seemed to crush a switch on the ball.

A huge, spine-chilling stinging sensation suddenly flooded Li Cheng颐's body.

Without time to think, he drilled down, and the whole person frantically delved into the ground.

*Boom!!!*

At this moment, an indescribable roar instantly drowned out all sounds.

Heaven and earth fell completely silent.

Great sound is silent; when the sound is loud enough, everything returns to silence.

Brilliant white light burst out from the inside of the ball in Ya Long's hand.

The explosive heat, transmitted at a terrifying rate of over eight thousand meters per second, instantly caught up with Li Cheng颐, engulfing and drowning him.

And Ya Long, holding the ball, was naturally no exception.

But he didn't care at all, instead opening his mouth and laughing, but under the roar, his laughter could only be seen in his expression.

Soon, however, the white light also engulfed and disappeared everything about him.

A temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius swept everything, covering the earth within a hundred meters. A shockwave of heat exceeding ten million degrees Celsius covered the ground within a thousand meters.

With a rumble, a huge mushroom cloud slowly rose, breaking through the clouds.

At this time, many martial artists in the city were staring blankly in this direction.

All sounds were drowned out, and even from here, dozens of kilometers away, they could see the extremely dazzling white light.

Most people's eyes were blinded by the light at this moment, and they wailed.

Only a very few people were spared for various reasons.

"It's an atomic bomb!! Damn it! Are the people of this country crazy!? They released a nuclear bomb in their own capital!?"

Cang Lu (Heron) could hardly believe it.

The moment he saw the white light, he quickly lowered his head, covered his eyes, and looked for a barrier.

"They're not crazy, I'm afraid someone acted privately and detonated a nuclear bomb on their own!" Fang Hongyu, representing Zhe Ying Gu (Shade Eagle Valley), also had his own intelligence channels.

Everyone reacted quickly and soon found places to hide, avoiding the glaring light.

The light was everywhere, almost completely whitening everything in the city.

Kui and Xiang Han Ying were a step late with the people from the alliance, and many people's eyes were instantly blinded, and they howled in pain.

But to no avail, the howls could not spread at all, having been completely drowned out by the nuclear explosion.

"That direction, is exactly where the Alliance Master went... I'm afraid the Alliance Master..." Hong Lian's face was extremely ugly, he never expected that the people of the Tai Su Qing (Primal Purity) Group would be so vicious.

Just to kill the Alliance Master alone, they would use such a large-scale weapon of mass destruction near a densely populated city.

It was simply insane!

*Whoosh!!*

At this time, the shock wave and dark gray dust brought by the nuclear explosion had formed a ring of gray clouds, rushing into the city.

Vehicles were blown and shaken, and people who were not well hidden were blown away in the blink of an eye.

Power grids broke, and billboards flew around.

Various heavy objects continued to fall from the sky.

This huge explosion lasted for a full half minute before the aftermath slowly subsided.

As everything slowly quieted down, a large number of cries began to spread one after another.

The infected of the Tai Su Qing Group moved quickly. Their powerful regenerative abilities meant that they were not harmed much in this explosion.

Teams of infected rushed towards the explosion in the suburbs.

"Go! Let's go take a look too!! Those who can move, come with me!" Hong Lian shouted.

Immediately, the remaining dozen or so masters from the alliance and Zhe Ying Gu followed closely behind the people from the Tai Su Qing Group, approaching the explosion.

Inside the nuclear explosion crater.

In the huge crater, more than two hundred meters in diameter, countless lava rolled and boiled, and thick black smoke rose.

In this pit, which was more than seventy meters deep, a dark human figure slowly rose from the lava.

"This time, see if you don't die!!" The figure cracked its mouth and grinned. It was Ya Long, who had just detonated the nuclear bomb.

Although he had not detonated it in close proximity, judging from the power of the explosion just now, unless the Third Generation (San Dai) had directly become a Saint, it was impossible to survive in such a terrifying power!

*Crack.*

Suddenly, outside the crater in the distance, on the ground only ten meters away from the explosion, a charred human figure arched up.

The human figure had a large squirrel tail behind it, and with a slight sweep, it swept away large pieces of the carbonized black ash covering its body, revealing its true form.

It was Li Cheng颐!

His whole body was emitting green smoke, his flesh and skin were blown apart, and only his skeleton and internal organs were rapidly recovering under the protection of a newly formed membrane.

In just a few breaths, most of the flesh on his body had been repaired, and dark red muscles and fur had grown.

"You actually!!!?" Ya Long trembled and stared at the other party in disbelief. He simply couldn't believe his eyes.

The atomic bomb just now was almost the highest weapon crystallization in this world, and even he could not explode with such a terrifying absolute power.

But now, even this power could not completely kill the Third Generation!!

Could it be that next, there was really only that one way left!??

He trembled all over, not with fear, but with anger.

An indescribable anger surged from the bottom of his heart.

He was a Saint!!

Yet he couldn't completely take down even a Divine Flame (Shen Huo).

If it weren't for the limitations of this world, if it weren't for this being the bottom layer of the Black Sea, he could release the power of a nuclear bomb at will with one hand!

Instead of having to rely on external objects like now!

"Almost." Li Cheng颐 stood indifferently in the high temperature radiation, as if basking in the sun.

"In fact, most of my body was vaporized, but fortunately, as long as I keep part of my body, I can use it as the core to regenerate and rebuild my body."

Eternal Life (Yongheng Shengji) was so powerful.

After combining with the Celestial Virus (Tianren Bingdu), this system had greatly enhanced its recovery ability in a short time because of learning and imitating.

At least now, with Li Cheng颐's body mass, the structural ability of the Celestial Virus could still afford to recover.

"It's over." Li Cheng颐 said quietly.

"In this world, there is nothing that can make me fear."

He opened his hands.

A new circle of high-temperature radiation spread and exploded from his body.

The heat radiation, as high as two thousand degrees Celsius, rapidly melted the surrounding land, stabilizing the original high temperature of the nuclear explosion crater, which had just shown signs of cooling down.

Ya Long gritted his teeth and stared at the other party, stared at Li Cheng颐.

He had no other choice.

Although Saints were strong, this was not his world. Similarly limited, he was merely a guest here.

The only ones who could truly pose a threat to Li Cheng颐 were the local Saints!

And the local Saint... wait!

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Tai Su Qing!!

Wasn't he a natural local Saint!?

Thinking of this, he turned quickly and rushed towards the direction from which Tai Su Qing's aura was coming.

But he didn't need to remind him at all.

On the plain in the distance, a giant meat monster more than ten meters tall was sprinting rapidly, rushing towards Li Cheng颐.

The monster was blood red all over, its muscles were exposed, and there were countless black worm-like patterns on its body.

Its head had no facial features, only a tall human body embedded in the center.

It was Tai Su Qing.

He opened his arms, embedded in the monster's face in a cross shape. His originally handsome face was now full of ferocity.
