Destroying a Nation in One Strike
Tang San saw that the sky screen was about to show the explosive scene of the Celestial Nail destroying a nation.
He was in no hurry.
It would be better to strike after the sky screen finished, when both continents were in shock.
On the sky screen,
the image suddenly froze.
At that moment, people on both Teyvat and the Douluo Continent stopped breathing.
The winged, lizard-like creature that had swallowed an eagle in one gulp earlier raised its head.
It could clearly see that, at some unknown point, a nail had appeared in the blue, cloudless sky.
The nail was white, a completely different color from the blue sky. From its perspective, the nail was not large, just a tiny white dot.
Then, in the next moment, the nail erupted with dazzling light, like the sun.
"What is that????"
Everyone looked at the sky screen in surprise.
From the perspective of the lizard-like creature on the sky screen, the nail's light grew brighter and brighter, and it grew larger and larger.
"What kind of Soul Tool is that???"
Gu Yue Na murmured to herself.
"How did the Celestial Nail destroy a forest as vast as the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Di Tian looked at the sky screen and could not help asking, his curiosity piqued.
The Soul Power of that winged, lizard-like creature alone was already comparable to that of a Two-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
According to Nahida, there were hundreds of such beings in that forest.
How could the Celestial Nail destroy a forest of such unfathomable depths?
Such a forest was sure to contain beings even more terrifying than that winged, lizard-like creature.
The number of Celestial Nails required was probably astronomical.
If not ten thousand, then at least several thousand.
"Wouldn't it take ten thousand?!"
"What do you mean, ten thousand? If you ask me, Old Bear, one Celestial Nail would be enough."
Xiong Jun could not help folding his two paws tightly over his chest.
Hearing this, Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts, and even Gu Yue Na, could not help turning their eyes toward Xiong Jun.
This guy was really talking out of his fucking ass.
One Celestial Nail to destroy a forest that far surpassed the Star Dou Great Forest in both size and strength?
That Celestial Nail was only the first-generation version from five hundred years ago.
"Hmph."
Xiong Jun patted his chest with a bear paw.
"That's a weapon He personally led the research to create."
"Even if it's the first-generation version, it can definitely destroy a nation in one strike."
"If He didn't have such power, how could He have dared to be so arrogant as to command the gods with a single decree?"
"When has anything the sky screen showed us not overturned what we thought we knew?"
After hearing Xiong Jun's analysis, the Ferocious Beasts felt that he seemed to have a tiny bit of a point.
"But how could one Celestial Nail destroy a forest that far surpasses our Star Dou Great Forest in both size and strength?"
"A forest like that probably has gods in it too, doesn't it?"
The forest shown on the sky screen was at least as powerful as their Star Dou Great Forest.
"Why worry about all that? Why don't we just keep watching?"
Xiong Jun said.
Gu Yue Na and the others were speechless.
He seemed to have a point.
In the entire Douluo Continent, Xiong Jun was probably the only simple-minded, brawny brute who would dare say something like that.
The sky screen continued to change.
The true form of the point of light that shone as brilliantly as the sun soon emerged.
It was an enormous nail several thousand meters long. The light it gave off was so bright that many people had just mistaken it for a new sun.
The Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent fell silent.
Many even reached up and rubbed their eyes hard.
On the sky screen, space itself began to crack inch by inch in the Celestial Nail's wake, unable to withstand its immense pressure.
Some swallowed and could not help raising their heads. Only after making sure the thing was not above them did they let out a long breath.
In the next moment, from the winged, lizard-like creature's perspective, the Celestial Nail grew larger and larger.
Then the view switched to high in the sky.
The Celestial Nail fell into the boundless forest.
In an instant, an enormous mushroom cloud shot into the sky.
When the people of the Douluo Continent saw this, their expressions changed from surprise to terror, and finally to numbness.
They watched the aerial view on the sky screen.
A violent energy shockwave rapidly erupted from the mushroom cloud and swept out in every direction.
Wherever the energy shockwave passed, the sea of trees was obliterated and mountains were leveled in an instant. The winged, lizard-like creature was burned into air by the terrifyingly hot energy shockwave...
Tang San, hiding in the shadows, saw this.
His hands and feet were ice-cold.
Amid that chill was excitement.
Before absolute strength, his strongest Hidden Weapon was no match for this Celestial Nail.
"Capture Little Paimon.
"Wouldn't our Douluo God Realm be able to possess such a weapon too?" At that thought, Tang San grew thoroughly excited.
He had originally thought that wiping out a forest whose size and number were beyond knowing how many times greater than the Star Dou Great Forest's would take at least tens of thousands.
Never had he imagined that one, just one, would wipe a forest whose size and number were beyond knowing how many times greater than the Star Dou Great Forest's off the map.
"Hahaha."
"Capture Little Paimon and interrogate her for the secrets of Teyvat, and our Douluo God Realm can have such a weapon too." Tang San grew thoroughly excited when he saw Little Paimon nearby, eating pastries with Lin Feng and Zhongli.
Once he had control of such a weapon,
he would give Spirit Hall one of them.
At Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong was also rushing toward Heaven Dou City as fast as he could.
Just half an hour ago,
Lord Rakshasa God had actually told him that the Five Great God Kings had sent Tang San to the Douluo Continent to capture someone from Teyvat and bring them up.
Fuck.
What kind of death-seeking stunt was this?
Seeing the power of the Celestial Nail on the sky screen, he had only one thought.
No, he had to hurry, even faster.
He had to stop that fucking idiot Tang San from courting death.
Those Five Great God Kings, for fuck's sake, didn't they use their brains? Could someone who could travel from Teyvat to the Douluo Continent be an ordinary person, for fuck's sake?
If a Celestial Nail like the one on the sky screen fell on the Heaven Dou Empire, their Spirit Hall would be caught in the disaster too.
"Fuck, if you're courting death, leave me out of it!"
Bibi Dong picked up his pace.
On the sky screen,
the mushroom cloud produced by the Celestial Nail had slowly dissipated.
