Ambushed on All Sides

With nearly 20,000 Nuclear Bomb, the main branches of the Wang Family, Jin Family, and Fang Family Three Clans were almost completely wiped out.

However, due to various unforeseen circumstances and their immense wealth, 62,479 people still survived.

"Who did this?!" A cultivator at the Spiritual Law Realm stood beside the crater created by the hydrogen bomb, roaring angrily.

Little did he know that a Heavenly Emperor's Eye had already taken a picture of his appearance and uploaded it to the internet.

"Wang Zhisù, a cultivator at the fourth level of the Spiritual Law Realm, Inner Scenery Realm, bounty: 25,000 Fortune Points!"

He was no exception; at this moment, photos of all 62,479 survivors had been uploaded online, along with bounties.

Furthermore, its real-time location is refreshed every hour!

Using techniques such as Heavenly Spirit-Word Spell and Fate Reversal Heavenly Star Technique, one can transfer Qi to others.

Even if a person hasn't learned the "Great Destiny Technique," having good fortune is still very beneficial.

Therefore, gold, silver, Spirit Stone, and even luck have become a form of currency, circulating online.

As more people used it, Deep Blue naturally quantified its fortune and incorporated it into Deep Blue Bank, making it a currency that could be used for quick payments.

25,000 Fortune Points is not a small amount; it's enough to cultivate a peerless Peerless Divine Abilities focused on Luck to its full potential.

If used to purchase other things, it would be roughly equivalent to the value of a high-grade Dao artifact.

A cultivator at the Spiritual Law Realm is definitely more expensive than a high-grade Dao artifact, but there were so many orders that they became worthless.

Even so, someone will definitely do it.

After all, opportunities to kick a man when he's down don't come around all the time. The Wang Family, Jin Family Fang Family have been in control of the Taiheng Three Regions for so long, how could they not have enemies or rivals?

Even if they don't have any enemies, there's still the Northern Myriad Saints Alliance. They're incredibly enthusiastic about assassinating Taiheng cultivators. They'd be willing to do it even if it meant paying out of their own pockets, without giving them Fortune Points!

"Bai Chenzi, Wang Yilu, Xin Qigao, it was the three of you who destroyed my Wang Family?!" Wang Zhisù was soon cornered by the three men.

The three were dressed in well-fitting clothes, with black hairpins in their hair, and strange patterns tattooed on the chest of their clothes.

This is called the Sect VI Visual System. In this internet age, even disciples of the Demonic Sect must present themselves in a beautiful manner for recruitment and promotion.

"It wasn't us who wiped out your Wang Family. The grievances have their source, the debts have their debtors. Go find whoever did it and seek revenge!" Bai Chenzi laughed. "We just saw the bounty online, so we decided to do some business on the side!"

As he spoke, he picked up his phone, pointed it at Wang Zhisù, and said, "Look, this is Wang Zhisù. Many people in Eastern Victory should be familiar with him, but it doesn't matter if you aren't. Let me introduce him to you. He calls himself the Great Emperor of the Southern Dipper, and he is the deity worshipped by hundreds of millions of people in Eastern Victory! He also has another identity, the King Jinliang of the Taikang Dynasty. He held a high position and great power, but I never thought he would be reduced to a lonely figure today!"

He was actually live-streaming!

"Bastard!" Wang Zhisù couldn't let him continue like that. The higher a person's position, the less they could bear to have their status and reputation damaged, let alone be killed in front of a group of ordinary people!

How could I possibly accept such a fate!

"Jinliang Palace!" Wang Zhisù directly took out a top-grade Dao artifact, a square palace with thousands of auspicious wisps of energy, exquisitely carved beams and painted rafters, and upon closer inspection, even found that living beings resided within it!

However, the palace was now somewhat dilapidated, with many burn marks and many parts that had collapsed. Inside, some tiny figures were anxiously trying to save it.

This is Wang Zhisù's Fate Dao artifact: the Jinliang Palace.

He survived the nuclear explosion entirely thanks to this thing.

In fact, he had many more magical artifacts, but they were all destroyed by the hydrogen bomb. Now, almost none of them are intact, and the only one that is barely usable is the Jinliang Palace.

"Hahahaha!" Before he took out the Jinliang Palace, the three bounty hunters were a little nervous, but after the Jinliang Palace was revealed, their faces immediately lit up with smiles. "Wait, Wang Zhisù, you are the dignified Great Emperor of the Southern Dipper, the King Jinliang, how come you carry a Dao artifact with you when you go out?"

Wang Zhisù's face was ashen. Without saying a word, he raised his magical artifact and smashed it at the three of them!

The three of them also took out their respective magical artifacts, but instead of immediately engaging in combat, they had to exchange some pleasantries first.

After all, it's a live stream; it can't be over in three minutes.

"I feel like this guy is about to vomit blood!" Yang Ning looked at the more than 30,000 images in front of him. Among them, Wang Zhisù was the most noteworthy, because among the people who had been captured, he was the strongest in terms of both strength and Dao artifact.

As for the others, many of them didn't have a single Dao artifact, and their treasure artifacts were all broken and tattered.

This doesn't mean the Wang Family was so poor they didn't own a single Dao artifact; it means their entire fortune was destroyed by a hydrogen bomb!

Back when Southern Forest was bombed, hydrogen bombs didn't have this kind of power yet. However, Yang Ning later conducted in-depth research on magical artifacts and Dao artifacts, and then developed a countermeasure.

While the forging materials for magical artifacts and Dao artifacts differ from those for Spirit Artifact, the difference is not drastic.

The reason why treasure artifacts and Dao artifacts are stronger is mainly because treasure artifacts absorb treasure light, and Dao artifacts absorb Dao patterns.

The Precious Light is a power similar to the Lawful Nightmare Power, both being formed by the fusion of Law Power and a strange force.

Needless to say, the Dao patterns are the patterns formed by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The words of the Great Dao, when recited with the soul, possess Peerless Divine Abilities.

When one recites incantations or uses Peerless Divine Abilities near the embryo of a Dao artifact, Dao patterns will be inscribed on the material that is sensitive to Dao inscriptions, allowing the Dao artifact to exert effects similar to Peerless Divine Abilities. This is what a Dao artifact is.

Furthermore, Dao patterns are not the same as Dao texts. Dao texts are complete characters, while Dao patterns are at most the sound waves generated when you recite a word, creating ripples on the surface of water.

It is a reflection of the Daoist text.

The more complete the mapped Dao script, the higher the grade of the Dao artifact. If a complete Dao script can be mapped, then it is a top-grade Dao artifact.

In terms of power level, Treasure Light < Dao Pattern <Lawful Nightmare Power.

If Spirit Artifact absorbs the precious light, it becomes a precious artifact.

Therefore, a hydrogen bomb that has absorbed the Lawful Nightmare Power is a magical Law Artifact of a higher level than a treasure artifact or a Dao artifact, and can be called Nightmare Artifact!

The essence of the Nightmare Artifact that Yang Ning is currently creating should be above Dao Artifacts but below Immortal Artifacts.

Once he breaks through to the Spiritual Law Realm, the Nightmare Artifact he creates should be equivalent to Immortal Artifacts.

There's no other reason than that Nightmare Energy's Law Power automatically increases by one level when it encounters an enemy.

Therefore, the hydrogen bombs they created were not only adept at breaking restrictions, but also had outstanding effects on magical artifacts and Dao artifacts.

There's something counterintuitive about this too.

Yang Ning had assumed that these ancient Aristocratic Clan, being so wealthy, would have at least one magical Artifact Dao, if not one, for each of them, and Spirit Artifact should be readily available.

But the reality is not like that.

While Aristocratic Clan exploit the common people, they also exploit each other within their own Aristocratic Clan, with the upper echelons exploiting the lower echelons and the main line exploiting the branch lines.

The distribution of treasures also follows the 80/20 rule.

That is, 2% of the people control 108% of the resources and treasures, while the remaining 98% of the people owe those 2% 8%!

This is why more than 60,000 people survived the hydrogen bomb; if one weapon couldn't stop them, they could use five or ten.

However, surviving is not a good thing. Now he has no money, no Lineage, no one to exploit him, and he has become a wanted criminal.

To go from being a person high above others to a wanted criminal surrounded and ambushed overnight—that kind of life change must be quite interesting, right?
