Decision

[Command confirmed]

[Parsing telekinetic amplitude and flying blade array combination...]

[Calamity Killing Art second stage "Thunder Collapse" and Sky-Splitting Escape Method second stage "Flowing Light" recording complete]

As Lin Fan issued the command.

The golden True Self first shattered into specks of light, merging into Lin Fan's consciousness, before condensing once more.

It then raised its arm, flipped its palm, and a massive black scythe, identical in form to Calamity, instantly materialized.

Unlike the Calamity condensed previously, the sharp edge of this one shimmered with purple lightning arcs.

Zzzzt.

Zzzzt.

Those lightning arcs resembled purple snakes restrained by invisible chains, crawling and writhing inch by inch along the razor-sharp blade.

The True Self raised the scythe and slowly swung it.

Yet, this strike did not seem to channel the lightning arcs on the blade; it was merely an ordinary swing.

"Still need more practice."

After watching for a while, Lin Fan withdrew from his sea of consciousness. Only after digesting the insights of the first stage of the Calamity Killing Art fed back by his True Self did he slowly open his eyes.

Lin Fan stood up, opened the heavy metal shutters of the Martial Arts Hall, and walked slowly toward the villa's massive floor-to-ceiling windows.

Outside the window.

The HR Alliance building remained brightly lit, its enormous holographic advertisements painting the night sky in a riot of colors.

It was proof of human civilization's tenacious survival in the wasteland era, and also a den of iniquity where countless martial artists lived in a drunken stupor.

Watching the cold, stern reflection in the glass, Lin Fan's gaze gradually deepened.

"Base strength 580,000 kilograms..."

"My telekinetic amplitude has reached the peak of the Wargod level, and combined with these two newly upgraded Tier 2 Godly Weapons..."

"The plan has changed. It is time to go to that place."

According to his original plan, he intended to play it safe and wait for his strength to settle further before heading to Mist Island on the Australian continent.

After all, it was an unknown death zone, potentially hiding Planetary Level existences capable of killing a Wargod in seconds.

But now, the situation had changed.

With the two Godly Weapons upgraded, his strength had soared, and having obtained the law-based secret techniques, his offensive capabilities had undergone a qualitative leap.

This surge in power gave him enough confidence to take a gamble.

"The Spirit of Vegetation on Mist Island, especially that Ten-Thousand-Year Wood Heart..."

A flash of undisguised intensity crossed Lin Fan's eyes.

"That is the kind of treasure that can allow one to break through the shackles of life and step into the Planetary Level."

"It's the kind of thing that would make even Hong and Thor envious."

Fortune favors the bold.

As long as he obtained that item, he could truly step into the ranks of the strong.

More importantly—

"There is still some time before Luo Feng goes to Mist Island."

Lin Fan glanced at the night sky outside the window.

"This time difference is more than enough for me to make my move."

As a transmigrator, he knew the plot's trajectory all too well.

At this very moment, the anomalies on Mist Island had not yet fully erupted, and the leakage of the astonishing Wood Bud Crystal energy deep underground was still in its early stages.

The major global powers had not yet reacted, and those high-and-mighty Inspector-level powerhouses had not yet entered the fray.

This was his opportunity.

"If I wait until everyone reacts, I won't even get a sip of the soup."

Since he had decided, he would no longer hesitate.

Lin Fan turned and returned to the training hall.

With a wave of his hand, he stored Calamity and Sky Splitter into his space ring.

After doing this, Lin Fan straightened his combat suit, tightened the tactical backpack on his back, and checked the dagger in his leg holster.

"Let's go."

He strode out the front door of the villa.

The night wind blew against his face, carrying a hint of chill, but it could not extinguish the burning fire in his heart.

His figure quickly vanished into the night, speeding toward the distant south.

This time, his target was not those ordinary Wilderness Zones.

It was one of the most dangerous yet resource-rich treasures on Earth—Australia, Mist Island!

Deep within the wreckage of a long-abandoned financial center in City 003.

Lin Fan's figure moved like a ghost, silently passing through the entrance of the collapsed underground parking garage.

The deeper he went, the heavier the smell of decay and mold in the air became.

Located nearly a hundred meters below the surface, this was a deep-level shelter built during the old era to guard against nuclear strikes.

Above his head, tens of thousands of tons of building debris formed a natural shield, isolating him from any potential satellite surveillance and monster disturbances from the outside world.

Darkness, deathly silence.

Only the sound of water droplets hitting the stagnant pools was infinitely amplified in this enclosed space.

After clearing a sufficiently spacious area, Lin Fan slowly closed his eyes.

Hum!

His telekinetic force instantly transformed into a surging tide, spreading outward with both brute force and delicate precision.

One inch, one foot, a hundred meters...

Only after confirming there were no signs of life in the vicinity, and no electronic monitoring equipment still in operation, did Lin Fan open his eyes.

"Come out."

With a wave of his hand, a massive object appeared out of thin air before him.

It was a black combat ship, roughly a hundred meters long, with a deep, streamlined design.

The surface of the hull was as smooth as a mirror, without a single welding seam, as if carved directly from a single massive black gemstone.

In the dim light of the underground, the hull material shimmered with an incredibly beautiful, cold metallic luster.

This was the gift from the system's novice pack, the X-101 stealth combat ship that had been lying silently in his space ring, unused until now.

Looking at the warship before him, filled with the aesthetics of science fiction and violence, Lin Fan felt a wave of emotion.

This was the first time he had brought it out since he received it.

When his strength was low, this warship, which surpassed Earth's technology, was not a vehicle to him, but a death warrant.

In this world where the strong were respected and the weak were prey, an innocent man would be guilty of a crime simply by harboring a treasure.

If the man standing at the pinnacle of Earth, Hong, or Thor, discovered the existence of this warship, the consequences would be unimaginable.

To him at that time, powerhouses of that level were the heavens, insurmountable mountains.

Because he could not guarantee whether the ship's activation would bypass Earth's monitoring network, nor did he have the confidence to protect this "treasure" once exposed.

Thus, Lin Fan had never dared to bring it out.

But today was different from the past.

"Hoo..."

Lin Fan took a deep breath and clenched his fists tightly, feeling the surging power like rolling thunder within his body.

Calamity and Sky Splitter had successfully advanced to Tier 2. While he still dared not be arrogant enough to face monsters like Hong and Thor head-on, at least...

He was no longer an ant that could be crushed at will.

As long as this ship possessed interstellar travel capabilities, even if he couldn't win, he could at least escape.

This confidence was the fundamental reason he dared to bring out the warship at this time.

"Australia, Mist Island..."

Lin Fan murmured, his gaze piercing through the darkness as if looking toward the distant south.

The journey there was long and filled with unknown variables.

If he relied solely on his physical body to travel, it would not only consume a massive amount of energy but also make him more likely to encounter unnecessary trouble on the way, causing him to miss his chance.

This warship was the key to him seizing the initiative, capturing the Spirit of Vegetation, and even snatching up those scattered Wood Bud Crystals.

However, even with his inflated confidence, Lin Fan remained absolutely calm.

"Better safe than sorry."

Only in such a dead zone buried deep underground, where even satellite signals could not penetrate, did he dare to take it out.

Lin Fan calmed his surging emotions and stepped toward the massive black object radiating a cold aura.
