328: Magnitude Ten Earthquake

An ancient, weathered bronze mirror floated in mid-air, its surface emitting dazzling beams of light that violently struck the ground.

The beam of light looked as thick as a bucket, but the core jet was only about the size of a chopstick.

The Kunlun Mirror confines energy to its extreme, making it both fast and economical.

The highly concentrated gamma rays, with their immense kinetic energy, first penetrated the ground like a steel drill.

Immediately afterwards, the photon radiation melted and destroyed the soil, rocks, and other materials.

To outsiders, all of this appeared as a dazzling beam of light drilling a bottomless hole into the earth!

As the hole was drilled deeper and deeper, large amounts of soil and rocks were melted, vaporized, and even ionized.

A series of thunderous roars erupted from underground, and countless huge cracks appeared in the ground, from which gushed forth crimson magma.

This scene was broadcast live to the world by various drones.

The beam of light was so dazzling, even more radiant than the sun, that such a phenomenon is quite rare.

Scientists quickly identified what it was by analyzing its spectral color and flash frequency.

[Extremely powerful gamma rays!]

This is already a gamma-ray burst! The photon energy is hundreds of thousands of times that of sunlight!

[90% of the galaxies in the universe lost life due to bombardment by this type of radiation!]

Various comments quickly spread online, and the beam of light penetrated deeper and deeper, soon reaching a kilometer underground!

Of the 80 units of spiritual energy stored, 60 have already been used up, leaving very few.

It was at this moment that the Kunlun Mirror suddenly ceased its Divine Ability.

The blinding light vanished abruptly, and the earth ceased its wailing, but a hole as thick as a bucket and seemingly bottomless had appeared.

With Lu Li looking on expectantly, the Kunlun Mirror gently sucked into the hole...

The next second, people throughout the capital region felt a noticeable tremor beneath their feet.

Soon, a giant wave of azure light erupted from the ground, soaring into the sky hundreds of stories high!

The Kunlun Mirror quickly sucked it into its surface, like a whale sucking in water, and it took a full minute to finish.

With such a large investment, the inspiration drawn this time must be considerable.

Lu Li quickly took a look, and sure enough... there were a full 1000 units!

This is the most fruitful harvest to date!

In his excitement, Lu Li naturally wouldn't be stingy and instructed the Kunlun Mirror:

"You can take half, and keep the rest for me."

Kunlun Mirror, severely injured and in dire need of nourishment, immediately began to refine spiritual energy in large gulps.

And when it eats well, it will work even harder to expand its Sea of Consciousness, thus helping its master's cultivation.

At this point, only three to five minutes had passed, and Lu Li's fever had subsided.

He looked at Charles and Robert.

The two men had barely managed to stand after the bombardment and had just managed to get up.

Robert trembled as he stared at the massive crack in the ground... This was nothing short of a demon!

It's utterly ridiculous to say that you're the same kind of person as the other person!

Lu Li didn't even bother to glance at these insignificant ants, and simply said to Charles:

"It's a very powerful virus, extremely contagious; I was infected without even realizing it. And just as you said, the virus attacked my entire body, even trying to penetrate the blood-testis and blood-brain barrier..."

Upon hearing these words, Charles felt a chill run down his spine, and a deep unease rose within him.

He shuddered and roared, "Monster! What do you want?!"

"What do I want...?"

Lu Li looked around casually and said:

"Originally, I just disliked your country, but I didn't have any deep-seated hatred for it. Maybe a few beatings would vent my anger, and then it would be over. But now my opinion has changed."

As the words were spoken, flocks of birds cried out and flew about in panic on the horizon.

The fish in the Potomac River also leaped out of the water, splashing and churning the water.

Lu Li's expression turned cold, and he said decisively:

"You possess the planet's richest resources, yet you manufacture biological weapons to destroy humanity... You are a scourge, cancer cells that must be eradicated. I will show you no more mercy or compassion; I will wipe you out completely!"

Lu Li's eyes sparkled as he converted his words into electromagnetic waves, transmitting them to the drone in the sky and clearly conveying them to the entire world.

Such outrageous remarks immediately caused an uproar online:

How dare you!

[This monster's gone mad! Does he really think a single attack can bring down the Star Alliance Country?]

[I found the monster's information; he inherited the blood of an executioner and is an antisocial madman!]

Amidst the barrage of insults, Charles, who was present at the scene, was speechless.

Lu Li's killing intent was insufficient before, and his aura had not been fully unleashed.

At that moment, Ming made a firm decision, immediately suppressing Charles's life force, causing him to feel panicked, short of breath, and almost suffocating.

Robert continued to retreat slowly, pleased that Lu Li was ignoring him.

But as he backed away, he suddenly stepped on something soft and slippery, almost tripping over it.

Looking down, I saw swarms of rats, scurrying about like headless flies.

"What happened?"

All the animals were terrified; it was clearly a sign of a natural disaster!

Robert was suddenly startled and immediately ran towards the helicopter.

As soon as I pulled the hatch handle, a violent shaking began beneath my feet, as if the world had become a constantly shaking jar.

"Earthquake!!!"

The surrounding buildings began to sway from side to side, emitting groans of strain, and soon collapsed one after another.

Lu Li slowly floated up, his eyes sparkling with starlight as he said:

"This is a gift I've prepared for you. Please enjoy it."

Having said that, he gathered his strength and lifted himself up, flying towards the horizon and disappearing from sight.

As soon as he left, the entire capital region began to shake more and more violently, and long cracks spread across the highway.

Houses and tall buildings crumbled on the ground like cookies, and trees were as fragile as French fries, easily snapping one after another.

Immediately afterwards, the earth split open into a vast chasm, like a gaping mouth, and several tall buildings plunged into it and disappeared without a trace.

Robert struggled to climb into the helicopter and started the engine. Just as they were about to take off, Charles stumbled over, shouting, "Wait a minute!"

Robert didn't hesitate for even half a second before pulling the boom to take off.

But in the next instant, the "island" beneath their feet suddenly collapsed and sank, turning into the ugly smiling face of the earth.

The two people, along with the helicopter, vanished in the blink of an eye, like sesame seeds falling into a cement mixer.

The apocalyptic scene caused countless people to exclaim in horror:

[My God! Mother Earth is having a rave!]

This is a magnitude 10 earthquake!!!

[It was that monster that caused it! It must have been him!]

Everyone saw Lu Li fire a beam of light that struck the ground.

And indeed, this was the case; the massive earthquake was caused by the extraction of spiritual energy.

"No matter how resilient Blue Star is, excessive extraction of spiritual energy will eventually cause natural disasters."

Lu Li Lifeng was safe and sound in the sky, and even had the leisure to make comments.

The puppet, having already been warned by its master, carried the gold and left the city to the north.

The entire city was searched thoroughly, and Lu Li went to meet up with the puppets, preparing to return to the other world.

There's a beautiful older sister over there waiting for me to "develop" her.
