He Survived Even That?
Nuclear explosion—a term that Yi Xuan used to only see in movies and historical documents.
Regardless of the medium, the descriptions of nuclear explosions are remarkably consistent.
The sudden appearance of a dazzling ball of light, the deafening roar that blotted out the sky, and the rising giant mushroom cloud were all clearly visible even from hundreds of miles away.
Smoke and haze enveloped the entire city, along with immense wind pressure and shockwaves capable of destroying the city.
Even just through written descriptions, one can feel that sense of powerless despair.
And at this moment, these scenes are unfolding right before Yi Xuan's eyes.
Although Yi Xuan and Xing Qi had already retreated to a safe area.
However, just to be on the safe side, Yi Xuan began to retreat rapidly after giving the detonation order.
As the two began to move quickly, their location was finally revealed.
It was inside a mechanical whale.
As a vehicle for the underwater army, the mechanical whale is unparalleled in terms of speed. At full acceleration, even the fastest underwater vehicle in my previous life could not compare to it.
However, while mechanical whales are fast, nuclear explosions are even faster.
Because the explosion occurred underwater, after observing the sun-like sphere of light, Yi Xuan and his companion first felt the immense impact of the seawater.
Even a mechanical whale with excellent underwater performance cannot maintain its posture after being impacted at such a distance, and will continue to sway up and down in the sea.
Although Yi Xuan was inside the whale's belly, he was still greatly affected, and his face turned deathly pale.
Because he possessed the strength of a Nascent Spirit Transformation, Xing Qi was not greatly affected.
However, compared to other things, the impact on Xing Qi's spirit was far greater.
Because on the screen in front of Yi Xuan, two sets of images were being displayed at that moment.
One of the sets of photos was taken underwater to show the location of the Aerospace Mothership.
The turbulent seawater caused by the nuclear explosion made it impossible for Yi Xuan's detection equipment to see the situation at the center.
The other set of images shows Starlink taking pictures of this area from outer space.
A massive mushroom cloud rose up, blotting out the sun, and the powerful shockwaves it generated caused the surface of the Eternal Sea to churn continuously. Giant waves, tens of meters high, surged one after another from the location of the nuclear explosion, pushing outwards in all directions.
Even more astonishingly, because the detonation point was beneath the surface of the Eternal Sea, the rising water vapor covered the sea surface and even formed a semi-transparent protective film around the mushroom cloud, making it appear exceptionally dazzling.
As Spirit Transformation cultivator, Xing Qi had witnessed the battles of top figures in the Cultivation Realm, though he didn't know how Xing Qi's methods compared to Yi Xuan's.
But he knew that no powerful cultivator who Tribulation Transcendence could create such a terrifying mushroom cloud.
If Yi Xuan knew what Xing Qi was thinking at this moment, he would surely give a helpless, bitter smile.
Cultivators are truly superficial; they can't comprehend the true terror of a nuclear explosion at all, actually believing that the mushroom cloud is the essence of a nuclear explosion.
It's understandable, since for uncultured cultivators, the assessment of power is still limited to visual aspects.
This is also where Yi Xuan's advantage lies in dealing with those top-tier cultivators.
Just like Emperor Lin before, he naively thought that the opponent was no longer a threat after the shield of the Aerospace Mothership disappeared and its rotors were shot down.
Yi Xuan could only silently think to himself, "It's terrible to be uncultured."
Meanwhile, the effects of the powerful nuclear explosion in the Eternal Sea were only just beginning.
Several nearby Sea Clan cities felt the violent fluctuations beneath the Eternal Sea, and the abnormal undercurrents even caused some damage and casualties to the nearby cities.
Although the Sea Clan further away did not sense the changes on the seabed, those Sea Clan that were close to the surface also witnessed the enormous mushroom cloud in the sky.
This thing, which was beyond their comprehension, caused a great uproar among the Sea Clan. The news eventually even reached the Sea Emperor City, and many forces in the Sea Emperor City hurriedly sent people to investigate.
Not only in the Eternal Sea, but also in the mushroom cloud in the sky, the Human Clan on the continent was greatly shaken.
At first, this situation was only discovered by a few sects along the coast, but then the news spread faster and faster, and the entire Southern Frontier knew about it, sending their disciples to the coast to investigate.
Eventually, even people in the Central Continent received the news, but due to the distance, by the time their people arrived, the mushroom cloud had already dissipated.
Leaving aside the impact of nuclear explosions on the cultivation Cultivation Realm.
Xing Qi stared at the massive mushroom cloud on the screen, then looked at Yi Xuan in shock, "That... that guy probably isn't going to make it, right?"
By this time, the violent undercurrents in the sea had subsided, and the mechanical whale had finally regained its balance and continued swimming in the opposite direction.
Yi Xuan unbuckled his seatbelt, quickly walked to the screen, and operated it for a while.
One of the screens changed color rapidly, and a series of numbers appeared in the upper right corner of the screen.
Although the seawater was not churning as violently as before, the visual image was still affected, so Yi Xuan adjusted the detection equipment to energy detection mode.
Under Yi Xuan's gaze, the original location of the Aerospace Mothership was now filled with strange energy fluctuations, and the magnitude was very high, covering the entire screen.
Those energy cultivators couldn't understand it at all, but Yi Xuan knew that it was called radiation, a far more terrifying phenomenon than a nuclear explosion.
"What's this?"
Just as Yi Xuan was deep in thought, Xing Qi pointed to the red dot that suddenly appeared on the screen and asked curiously.
The red dot grew brighter and brighter, and Yi Xuan's expression changed drastically as he looked at the energy value of the red dot on the right.
Because the red dot had started moving towards the direction where Yi Xuan and Xing Qi were, and at an extremely fast speed.
"Mechanical whale, full speed ahead! Unleash all the marine machinery within your body to block the enemy!"
Following Yi Xuan's command, the mechanical whale increased its speed once again, and at the same time, an opening appeared in its abdomen, from which a continuous stream of mechanical octopuses, along with mechanical sharks, surged out.
Soon, Yi Xuan saw the red dot through the mechanical octopus he had just left behind.
Just as Yi Xuan had thought, it was indeed Emperor Lin.
However, compared to the previously high-spirited Emperor Lin now looked like a beggar.
My clothes were long gone, but thankfully my body was charred black, so I didn't need to worry about exposing myself.
Moreover, as the opponent moved rapidly, its black outer skin began to peel off, revealing new skin underneath.
However, the newly formed skin underneath had an eerie red glow, and it quickly began to ulcerate and peel off again.
After the skin peels off, a new layer of skin will appear underneath, and the cycle repeats itself.
Xing Qi also saw Emperor Lin approaching rapidly through the screen at this moment. The marine machinery that Yi Xuan had just left behind to intercept the enemy had not played any role at all.
Even if you try to get close and stop the other party, it will explode.
Seeing this, Xing Qi stammered, "They're still not dead?"
