The Spiritual Vein is buried too deep; couldn't we just drill a hole and extract it?

Lu Li is preparing to use the Kunlun Mirror's [Extinction] Divine Ability to "laser-drill" the earth!

This Divine Ability power is immense; it can scorch the ground into lava with only a small amount of spiritual energy.

Moreover, it's an energy-based attack, with power and coverage area adjustable at will.

If destructive power is concentrated into a single beam, it can surely penetrate deep into the ground!

Of course, this is just a hypothetical scenario.

There are too many variables in actual implementation, and Lu Li cannot guarantee that it will definitely succeed.

But things in this world rarely go as planned. You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; you have to take the risk when necessary!

With a thought, Lu Li commanded the Kunlun Mirror:

[Prepare to unleash the Extinction Divine Ability, minimize the attack range, and drill a hole into the Spiritual Vein!]

The Kunlun Mirror resides in Lu Li's Sea of Consciousness, absorbing his mind and spirit daily.

The relationship between the two parties is no longer simply one of mutual understanding; it should be described as "unity of will."

Lu Li controlled this treasure with even greater ease than he could control his own eyeballs.

With just a thought in his mind, he conveyed his intention completely.

The Kunlun Mirror was immediately aimed at the ground where the Spiritual Vein was located, and its surface surged with dazzling golden light.

Lu Li instinctively knew that the Kunlun Mirror was gathering energy and narrowing its attack range.

Extracting Spiritual Vein only requires a small hole, so you have to concentrate your power and drill as deep into the ground as possible.

At the same time, this measure can conserve spiritual energy to prevent insufficient reserves and failure to reach the depth where the Spiritual Vein is located.

Lu Li moved a little further away to avoid being accidentally injured later.

While he was busy here, the Star Alliance Country had already detected him through drones.

Given the rare opportunity, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries on Air Force One urged the president to order the use of nuclear weapons.

The president naturally objected, but now there was an excellent excuse.

"Don't worry, the valiant Deputy Chief Charles is ready."

The president calmly replied:

"He's taking a Psychic Agent and the latest breakthroughs from Deburg to see that freak. Let's wait and see!"

Everyone knows that the "Psychic Agent" are a superpowered force developed by the Star Alliance Country.

As for the "latest achievements of Deburg," a few officials, whose level of secrecy was not high enough, did not know what they were.

But this place is very famous; it's the Army's biological laboratory.

The group instantly realized that they were about to use biological weapons!

But soon some people raised doubts, and the Minister of Agriculture asked:

"Could the virus from Fort Detrick... work on Superman? He's even immune to bullets!"

On this point, General Maren stepped forward and stated with certainty:

"Never underestimate these little creatures; they possess unparalleled potential, capable of even killing a whale! Any living thing will inevitably be affected!"

~~~~~~~~~~~

On Lu Li's side, the roar of propellers echoed in the sky as a small civilian helicopter descended from above.

Two white men in suits got out of the car.

One of them was nearly thirty years old, with a gloomy expression;

The other man, in his fifties with sharp eyes, was none other than Charles, the Deputy Director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, with whom he had previously had a video call.

Lu Li sneered inwardly, wanting to see what these two were up to.

The two men walked over quickly, Charles said kindly:

"You've vented your anger. Now I hope you can calm down and we can have a proper talk."

Seemingly to show sincerity, this person stood very close and pointed to the man next to him, introducing him as follows:

"This is my colleague Robert. We will have a good discussion with Mr. Lu about... the future."

The gloomy man named Robert had a sickly pale complexion, clearly someone who had never seen the sun in years.

He walked closer, gave Lu Li a slight nod, and his expression was icy.

Lu Li looked on with curiosity, noticing the strange bioelectric fluctuations emanating from the person before him.

It felt like the mind, but not entirely... And the next second, that bioelectricity shot towards his heart!

At that moment, the dignitaries aboard Air Force One held their breath!

Deputy Director Charles's expression remained unchanged, but his pupils shrank almost imperceptibly!

Robert stared wide-eyed, his forehead covered in sweat.

No matter how he exerted his power, Lu Li remained completely still and showed no discomfort whatsoever.

"Are you part of the Star Alliance Country's superpowered forces?"

Lu Li had already figured out this person's methods, and said somewhat listlessly:

"You tried to use your brainwaves to interfere with my heart muscle, causing my heart to stop... but your power is too weak."

Robert was born with a mutation that allows him to manipulate some bioelectricity.

But the power was too weak; it couldn't even affect a single hair on Lu Li.

He felt like a fly trying to shake a giant tree!

Realizing the gap between them, Robert couldn't keep up the act any longer and yelled at Charles:

"I told you long ago, it wouldn't work on this monster!"

Charles, as if nothing had happened, said calmly:

"It was just a joke, please don't take it to heart. Regarding negotiations, we are sincere..."

Such nonsense is more like a delaying tactic.

Lu Li realized something was wrong and quickly felt something was wrong with his body... his body temperature was rising rapidly!

"I have a fever? I have a virus in my body!"

Activating the Heavenly Eye for Internal Vision, I saw that some uninvited guests had appeared in my body at some unknown time—it was a virus!

They infect normal cells and replicate themselves wildly.

This is the incubation period, which is normally undetectable to the human body.

However, the strength of a martial artist's physique lies in the overall strength.

Not only are their cells incredibly resilient, but their immune system is also exceptionally powerful.

The virus was quickly detected and white blood cells were dispatched to kill it, which is why Lu Li developed a fever.

His elevated body temperature was also detected by the drone's most advanced camera.

The high-ranking officials aboard Air Force One were jubilant.

Charles also received the intelligence through his earpiece and immediately exclaimed with excitement:

"Sure enough, no living thing can remain unaffected, and the effect seems to be exceptionally good!"

Lu Li said expressionlessly, "You infected yourself with the virus first, and then you infected me?"

"That's right, but I will receive proper treatment soon."

Charles finally revealed a smug smile and said:

"I have to remind you, this is the most powerful research result of the new century. The coronavirus will attack every part of your body, every organ. And it will mutate, making it extremely difficult to heal on its own. Okay~ now we can talk about your future."

Just as Charles was feeling smug, an observer's exclamation suddenly came through the earpiece:

[Wait a minute! The target's body temperature is rising rapidly, it's already reached 50℃... Oh my god! It's 70℃!]

"70℃!!!"

This isn't just a fever, it's like it's being slowly cooked at a low temperature! The proteins are all cooked through!

Charles looked incredulous, yet he had no choice but to believe it.

Because Lu Li's breath was unusually hot, like an oven!

Let alone 70℃, it could even reach 80℃!

The strength of a martial artist's physique lies in the overall strength.

The body can not only withstand bullets, but its cells also have extremely high resistance to high temperatures, acids, and alkalis.

Therefore, the immune system works differently than normal, for example, the body temperature can drop to 70°C, and any virus that enters will be destroyed.

"FUCK! I quit!"

Robert didn't want to continue. As he backed away, he said sincerely:

"Hey~ Lu Li, I was forced to come here. I'm not your enemy... we're the same kind!"

"Similar?"

Lu Li seemed to have heard something funny.

However, he did not kill the two people in front of him immediately, but instead turned around and glanced at the Kunlun Mirror.

Two seal script characters, "[Extinction]", appeared on the mirror, followed by a dazzling beam of light that struck the ground!
