The Wondrous Uses of Super Martial Dao
"Depleted Uranium Crystal Shatter!"
"Three-Phase Fierce Break!"
"Red Mercury Starburst!"
Without giving him a moment's respite, Si Ming unleashed the Nuclear Divine Fist again and again, triggering bursts of nuclear explosions until all the nuclear materials were used up. Only then did he have to stop the bombardment. Although he could activate it using only his own True Qi, the amount of true True Qi required would be enormous. With his Level Eighteen Internal Cultivation alone, he simply couldn't keep up with the speed of consumption, even with the replenishment from the Vacuum Zero-Energy Furnace.
If he did this normally, he would suffer internal injuries and vomit blood from the backlash of the ultimate move before the nuclear materials were used up. But now he has the Tathagata's Indestructible Body of the Tathagata, which is equivalent to adding a layer of invincible body. The mere backlash force cannot stop his actions at all.
After being hit by a series of nuclear explosions, a crater more than 100 meters deep appeared on the ground below. Hot lava flowed on the surface of the crater, and the surrounding sand and gravel were all turned into crystal glass by the high temperature. Everything within the blast radius had disappeared, leaving only strong nuclear radiation. Even the Qi of Decline was gone.
Chapter 851 The Wonderful Uses of Super Martial Dao
The aura of the Netherworld Insect Princess vanished, and Si Ming certain he had killed her once again. He glanced at the fully opened black box and sighed, "Now I've truly exhausted all my trump cards."
In fact, the Netherworld Insect Princess certainly wouldn't have survived until the final nuclear explosion, but under those circumstances, Si Ming couldn't be sure whether she was dead or not. If they stopped halfway through, and she still had a breath left, relying entirely on super regeneration to quickly recover from her injuries, it would be equivalent to all their efforts being wasted. Therefore, he preferred to waste the excess nuclear materials.
"If she wasn't lying, then she will be resurrected. Where will she appear?" Si Ming looked around, but couldn't find her anywhere.
I am here!
At the top of the Heavenly Dragon World-Delivering Pagoda, the reborn Netherworld Insect Princess raised a finger, its tip shimmering with light that coalesced into a sphere of light radiating destructive energy. As Si Ming looked over, she flicked her finger, sending the sphere flying out.
The light covered the entire field of vision, and this time it was Si Ming's turn to experience the effects of a nuclear explosion. Fortunately, he escaped at the first moment and attacked to detonate the light sphere in advance, thus avoiding the central area with a temperature of millions of degrees.
Devastating light radiation and all-consuming shockwaves swept out, Si Ming instantly entered Uranium Crystal State. His body surface became smooth and uniform, like a mirror, reflecting most of the light radiation back, and he rotated at high speed to avoid being impacted from one side.
Si Ming was quickly pushed far away by the shockwave. While in the air, he didn't have to worry about having nowhere to retreat, which was much better than the previous Netherworld Insect Princess. He wouldn't suffer continuous nuclear explosions. In addition, in his Uranium Crystal State, his skin and bones were transparent and crystalline, allowing most of the intense nuclear radiation to pass through his body without any hindrance or impact, thus making him immune to radiation mutation.
"Your Foundation has been weakened again. If I kill you two or three more times, the gap between our Foundation will be narrowed to a visible level. At that time, I will have more than a 50% chance of killing you," Si Ming.
"But I have found the best way to kill you," the Netherworld Insect Princess said mockingly, "You should not have shown me this move. I control death, and the death of matter is also within my power—"
She raised her finger again, and the Qi of Decline gathered at her fingertip, actually condensing into a pile of decaying atomic nuclei. Then, lightning flashed, and the pile of atomic nuclei transformed into a ball of destructive light. With a gentle flick of her finger, the ball of destructive light flew out, but instead of shooting towards Si Ming, it shot towards the Hongdou on the ground.
"Oops!"
Si Ming's expression changed drastically. In the previous battle, Netherworld Insect Princess had never attacked Hongdou. Even when Hongdou ambushed her, causing her to fail in the "Ping Pong Game," she did not retaliate immediately after her resurrection. This made Si Ming careless, thinking that she was an upright person who would disdain using hostages to threaten others. He did not expect her to do so anyway.
Without time to think, Si Ming immediately summoned the Dragon Scale Sword and unleashed a magnificent Sword Qi that prematurely detonated the sphere of destruction. It was then subjected to the impact of a nuclear explosion and engulfed by the light of destruction.
"Xiao Ming!"
Hongdou looked worried and wanted to rush out to save people, but she knew that her primary task was to protect the Wheel-Turning King Sword. Otherwise, if the Buddhist formation was broken, Si Ming would lose the Tathagata's Indestructible Body the Tathagata, and the battle would end prematurely. Protecting the sword was more valuable than protecting people, so she could only suppress her impulse and feel anxious.
The residual force of the nuclear explosion spread out, shattering the dimensional barriers. Fortunately, the Hongdou had been stacked up enough, densely packed like a mille-feuille, with one layer breaking and another appearing, so they were unharmed.
"Now, it's your turn to experience my pain—"
Without pausing, the Netherworld Insect Princess raised her other hand again, gathering the Qi of Decline and condensing it into a nuclear pile, transforming it into a sphere of destruction. Just as she was about to unleash a series of attacks, mimicking Si Ming's previous nuclear explosion combo, suddenly, a look of pain crossed her face. She lost control of her power, and the sphere of destruction exploded at close range, instantly engulfing her.
"Finally, we succeeded!"
Having emerged from the blast radius, still carrying the lingering heat of the explosion, Si Ming smiled with satisfaction at the sight before him, a smile of accomplishment on his part.
"What have you done to me?!"
Having been struck by a nuclear explosion at close range, the Netherworld Insect Princess was severely injured, but she paid no attention to it, only clutching her head in pain, her chaotic mental fluctuations sweeping around.
"I didn't do anything to you, so don't blame others for your mistakes."
What mistake did I make?
"You learn whatever martial arts I use, but haven't you ever considered that there are some martial arts you can't learn?" Si Ming explained while circulating his internal energy to heal his injuries. "Weren't you having a lot of fun using the Super Martial Dao just now? Then you should be prepared to pay the price."
"What price... why would it apply to me, um--"
The Netherworld Insect Princess couldn't understand it. Her Cultivation Body was the Cultivation Body under the Principle, theoretically allowing her to use any martial arts without any restrictions. She could use martial arts that were only allowed to be used by those with pure Yang or pure Cultivation Body. Even those Evil Dao Cultivation Method with side effects could be forcibly endured by her unparalleled Foundation.
"I'm sorry, I'm not as open and honest as you, nor do I answer every question from the enemy. So you should reflect on your own actions."
Si Ming initially only chose to take a gamble. He saw that the other party was a "three-nothing" person, who had no emotions as a being of the world's Extinction Consciousness. So he wondered what would happen if the other party stole his Super Martial Dao, and whether he would also have to suffer the corresponding side effects.
For example, the side effect of the "Supreme Plain Decay True Scripture" is irritability, and the side effect of the "Primordial Non-Empty True Scripture" is greed. If a normal human being is affected by the side effects, it is nothing more than the corresponding emotions being amplified. Moreover, in the midst of battle, irritability and greed are not necessarily bad things. The former can enhance explosive power, and the latter can strengthen the desire for victory.
But what about a person who has no anger or greed at all?
Is it completely unaffected by the side effects of Super Martial Dao? Or is it an extra emotion created out of thin air?
Judging from the current results, the Super Martial Dao is indeed powerful; even the avatar of the World Will cannot escape its side effects and has fallen into mental chaos.
In fact, in order to ensure that the other party could be truly affected by the Super Martial Dao, Si Ming incorporated the energy circulation method of the Vacuum Zero-Energy Furnace into the modified "Ethereal Cloud and Mist Palm" and brought up the martial arts theory of "you are using someone else's martial arts, I am using my own martial arts" to entice the other party to practice seriously and experience the subtle changes in the palm technique.
He worried that if he only learned the moves of Nuclear Divine Fist, he might not have to bear the side effects, just like when he secretly learned Bullet Fist with his sudden enlightenment talent. Therefore, he set up a double insurance policy. Only when the other party's tone of voice changed did he confirm that the plan had succeeded.
Whether the Netherworld Insect Princess was affected by the side effects of "Si Ming's Modified Ethereal Cloud and Mist Palm" or the Nuclear Divine Fist, this was undoubtedly the best opportunity to attack. Si Ming would not let it slip by. He immediately channeled his energy, his sword transforming into a gale. Accompanied by a dragon's roar, a wind dragon suddenly appeared on the ground and charged angrily towards the Netherworld Insect Princess. This was none other than "Wind Sweeps the Ten Directions, Riding the Dragon."
"My head hurts so much--"
Although the Netherworld Insect Princess was mentally confused, she was not completely oblivious to the outside world. With one hand covering her forehead and the other gathering energy, she blocked with a palm strike. Even though her Foundation had been weakened twice, her energy was still powerful and majestic.
Si Ming wielded his sword and rode the dragon, piercing through the palm Gang Qi and then crashing into the opponent's protective aura. Amidst the dragon's roar, the Sword Qi energy and gale force continued to impact, weakening the attack layer by layer until the sword's power was reduced to only 30%. Finally, it broke through the defense and pierced through the Netherworld Insect Princess's body with One Sword.
Despite her splitting headache, the Netherworld Insect Princess disregarded her sword wounds and Tathagata Indestructible Body with a backhand palm strike, unleashing a deafening explosion and sending Si Ming flying far away.
Si Ming looked up and saw that the sword wound on Netherworld Insect Princess's chest was healing rapidly. The remaining Imperial Dragon Sword Qi was also being corroded by the Qi of Decline, and could not stop her physical body from recovering.
