Stars don't change for no reason; this must be something the Snail People did ruthlessly.
The entire galaxy has three planets inhabited by Snail People, and countless man-made space facilities.
Even the Eagle Country wouldn't dare drop a nuclear bomb on its own city, but these Snail People are clearly even more insane.
They didn't even give them time to escape; they just threw away their ultimate weapon and abandoned the entire galaxy without a second thought.
They're a bunch of lunatics.
At this moment, amidst the frantic prompts from the Hexagram, Li Xingkong has begun to desperately search for a way to escape.
It must be said that an attack of this magnitude would be just as deadly to him. The only difference is that Li Xingkong's thinking ability is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Even when a fatal crisis is right in front of him, he can still spare some time to think.
Breaking through space to escape is a good method and the fastest escape route, but after sensing the Li Xingkong discovered that as the star contracted, the space within the entire galaxy began to fluctuate irregularly.
Li Xingkong's ability to control space is not yet strong. Under such unpredictable fluctuations, forcibly Xingkong jump and ending up in an unknown place is a minor matter. The real danger is that if the jump goes wrong and he jumps into some kind of spatial annihilation zone, then he'll be in big trouble.
With the option of using spatial abilities to escape ruled out, the only remaining option was to run away.
The Earth-Traversing Golden Light is a powerful supernatural ability. As long as he moves outward at the speed of light, even the speed of a star exploding should not be able to catch him.
If this had happened before the explosion, then doing so would have indeed ensured safety. However, the problem was that when Li Xingkong Li Xingkong the star contracting, it meant that the effects of the explosion had already reached his eyes.
It was already too late to run at this point.
Indeed, that was the case. Without much hesitation, Li Xingkong activated the Earth-Traversing Golden Light and ran out into the outer reaches of the star system.
But before he had run halfway, he was interfered with by a special energy that forced him back to his original form.
Li Xingkong understood that this was because the neutrino stream generated when the star collapsed had some effect on his supernatural powers, making it impossible for him to maintain the use of them.
The civilization that designed this bomb was truly comprehensive, not only disrupting space but also interfering with any attempt to escape at the speed of light.
They really left no way out for anyone!
Li Xingkong's speed suddenly slowed down. Although he had escaped for a few seconds, he was still within the blast radius of the bomb, and the warnings from the Hexagram were still dense.
Looking back, the star's contraction had stopped, and the abundant energy could no longer maintain a stable state.
The next second, the entire star seemed to have been catalyzed, and it expanded outwards instantly. The expansion was extremely fast. The moment Li Xingkong saw it expand, its volume had already doubled, and it was still growing.
The changes in the star caused a massive outpouring of energy. As it expanded, Li Xingkong observed that the planet closest to it seemed to be crushed by an invisible force.
Contrary to expectations, the planet was not propelled outward by energy. Instead, starting from the side facing the star, the entire planet was instantly reduced to dust by this powerful energy fluctuation.
Like a sandstorm, the planet was crushed into dust before it could even be moved, and the dust was swept away by the energy waves.
The countless Snail People on the planet were no exception; under such an attack, no one could escape.
Planets are annihilated into elementary particles, let alone living beings; they simply turn into a bloody mist with a bang, and there is no other outcome.
Li Xingkong merely glanced at it; his escape did not stop there.
Although he couldn't escape at the speed of light, and he couldn't escape the weapon's range either, the further out he went, the lower the intensity of the attack he would receive. If he could reach a suitable range, he might be able to survive.
As for the specific range, the Hexagram that had been warning was no joke. After witnessing the power of the Hexagram's explosion, it had already calculated the range of the explosion and the energy level distribution based solely on what Li Xingkong saw.
Areas posing a threat to him are marked in red; areas where he can survive after the attack are marked in yellow; and then there are white areas where he is unaffected.
Li Xingkong only needs to escape to the yellow zone to withstand the surging energy.
But at his current speed, escaping to the yellow zone is still somewhat unrealistic.
Compared to the dissipation speed of the explosion wave energy, Li Xingkong's current movement speed is like that of a tortoise.
With no way to escape, he needed to find another way to cope.
If all else fails, then we'll have to rely on the system.
But Li Xingkong unless absolutely necessary.
All the spells and supernatural abilities he had learned were now being analyzed in his mind.
From the minor Foundation Establishment Stage spells he learned at the beginning to the major Golden Core techniques he had recently begun learning, Li Xingkong's gaze swept over them one by one, seeking a method that could be effective in the present moment.
The system remained silent, which meant it believed Li Xingkong was capable of escaping such an attack.
Li Xingkong did not seek the system's protection; as a last resort, he still had one last option.
Space jumps are dangerous, but at most they're a matter of life and death. If there's no other way at the last moment, he can still force his way out.
After glancing over all of his own methods, Li Xingkong's gaze settled on a particular supernatural ability.
The Five Elements Divine Light.
On his way to the Snail People Civilization, Li Xingkong had been studying this supernatural power, but as he traveled and studied at the same time, he did not master it very well.
In other words, he has only learned two of the five minor supernatural powers of the Five Elements Divine Light so far.
The only technique they can unleash is the Taiyi Ice Soul Divine Light.
Li Xingkong's intuition told him that his chance of survival lay in this one supernatural power.
He quickly recalled the description of this supernatural ability in the cultivation manual.
The Taiyi Ice Soul Divine Light draws the temperature to absolute zero wherever it goes, causing everything within it to cease movement at the molecular level, thus achieving a powerful control effect.
Would reducing a small area to absolute zero help him in his current situation?
Li Xingkong couldn't see how this supernatural power could be effective in the face of such a devastating energy surge.
It's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
However, intuition cannot be faked. Since I started practicing cultivation, with the blessing of Hexagram and Divine Sense, the prompts from my intuition are always meaningful and never unfounded.
Li Xingkong glanced at the description of the supernatural abilities in the cultivation technique again, but this time, his gaze lingered on the latter half of the description.
Let everything within it cease movement at the molecular level!
He initially thought this was a supplementary explanation of absolute zero, but if it were just an explanation, there was absolutely no need to mention it again here...
Could it be...?
