Chapter 509: Breaking Through
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
'This feeling...?
'The physical particles in my body are being stimulated incessantly?'
However, upon feeling that his brain was about to reach its limits soon, Fang Xingjian did not allow himself to stay to savor the feeling. He swept out continuously with his longsword, sending away the high temperature shock waves in the surroundings. Then he brought the Thunder Monarch along with him as he entered spatial gaps.
...
In the joint command post of Xin Country and the Federation in Demonic City, everyone was extremely nervous.
"Powerful tremors are being detected in the Western Central Province!"
"All electronic communications across the Central Province have been destroyed. They probably won't recover within 48 hours."
"Fire has broken out in the Southern Central Province."
"The mushroom clouds from the explosions have exceeded an area of 100 kilometers and are continuing to spread out."
"The smoke and dust clouds are still moving around, and we're unable to locate Fang Xingjian's traces with the satellites."
"Is he dead?"
"He should be. Those were three nuclear missiles, each with a yield of 50 megatons. The explosion this time around will probably have an irreversible impact on the entire Earth's geomagnetic field, environment, and atmosphere."
"Hold on..."
Just then, a deafening rumble of thunder rang out from above the command post, and countless amounts of soil fell down. It was as if some kind of heavy item had plunged down from the sky.
'What's going on?"
"Who is attacking us?"
"Project the view of the security camera onto the screen."
Through the projection, they saw that Fang Xingjian was standing on the armor-plated ground. With one hand, he was grabbing onto the Thunder Monarch, who was now in a terrible state due to the impact of the explosions and covered in blood. In Fang Xingjian’s other hand, he held onto a White Bone Longsword, thrusting it down and penetrating through armor-plated ground as he headed down, deeper into the underground base.
"Damn it! Why is he charging over here?!"
"All personnel be on the highest level of alert! All personnel be on the highest level of alert! Warning, this is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill."
A loud boom rang out. The wall, from which the sound emerged, was blasted open, and Fang Xingjian walked out slowly. The moment he appeared, over 100 mechanized troops started shooting at him.
The security alarm for the entire base rang out, and countless troops were mobilized. In the darkness, numerous mechanized warriors stood closely together, trembling abruptly. Then at the next moment, many pairs of blood-red eyes lit up in the darkness. There appeared to be several ten thousand of them.
Shutter door after shutter door continued to close down, and poison, flames, and electric currents continued to fill up every inch of space before Fang Xingjian.
Fang Xingjian just sent a sword attack sweeping out. It then formed several million waves of sword ripples, slashing countless robots into pieces. Toxic gas was being swept away, while the shutters were being destroyed. The base’s full defenses were unable to stop Fang Xingjian for even a single second.
"Damn it!"
"He's coming over!"
"West Section 3 has been completely destroyed!"
"The 1st, 3rd, and 6th units have been wiped out."
"All robot troops have been annihilated!"
"The armor plating on the 32nd story has been broken through."
"The mechanized troops reinforcements will only be able to arrive in another ten minutes."
"The target is continuing to advance..."
"The target is progressing toward the final barrier. The defensive force field is activated... Now, it has been destroyed... For him to be able to do all this in just a single attack..."
Fang Xingjian continued advancing step by step. Facing the storm of metal coming toward him, Fang Xingjian’s Light Pursuit sword ripples were like laser beams with a high level of accuracy, breaking each and every one of the several ten thousand metallic bullets.
Following that, there were incessant attacks from missiles, machine guns, and toxic bombs coming from the metal walls. However, all of these attacks would be destroyed by Fang Xingjian's Light Pursuit sword ripples.
"The target has broken through to the 52nd underground story."
"The 3rd Robot Unit has been annihilated."
"The 52nd underground story has fully collapsed. The number of casualties is unknown..."
"Damn it, what about the reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements?"
"The target has arrived at the final barrier."
"Destroying the final barrier that is 30 meters in thickness with just a single sword attack... Such destructive prowess..."
"He is coming."
In the command post, the commander with the greatest authority looked at the layer of metal armor plating on the ceiling under his head and slowly closed his eyes. At the next moment, streams of light shot out from the armor-plated ceiling. There was a loud boom , and the entire layer of armor plating was slashed into pieces. Then Fang Xingjian and the Thunder Monarch landed slowly.
Sending sword intent gushing out, Fang Xingjian's voice rang out concurrently in the minds of the people who were the highest ranking military officers in the Federation and Xin Country.
"From today onward...
"You people will control the future of Earth...
"And I will be the one to control whether you live or die."
...
In the Sahara Desert, Li Shuanghua's lower body was buried in sand, but her entire body was completely unable to move. Her strength had been fully depleted in her earlier battle with Fang Xingjian. She was already at her limits just maintaining her consciousness, let alone being able to move.
Right when a sandstorm covering up the skies, there was a soft cry, and the sandstorm was dispersed. Fang Xingjian slowly descended from the sky and appeared before Li Shuanghua.
Li Shuanghua looked at Fang Xingjian and asked coldly, "What? Vile spawn, are you here to kill me?"
Fang Xingjian spoke calmly, "You've always been wanting to kill me, your grandson. Right now, I'm only asking you to apologize to me, and kneel down and apologize to my mother. Repent. If you do that, I won't kill you. Yet you aren't even willing to do that?"
Li Shuanghua closed her eyes like she did not care to continue the conversation with Fang Xingjian.
Fang Xingjian continued, "Do you think that the Earth's Federation, the other five great countries, or the other Divine level experts will be able to save you?"
Li Shuanghua opened her eyes, looked at Fang Xingjian, and said, "Do you think that you'll be able to suppress the entire world just by yourself? What a joke."
"It has only been four minutes and 50 seconds since I just left, and I've already defeated the Thunder Monarch and the Despot. I also made a trip to the joint command post of Xin Country and the Earth's Federation. They've already agreed for me to take over your place to become the newly appointed council member of the Earth's Federation."
The corners of Li Shuanghua's lips curled up, and her eyes filled with a sneering expression. "Do you think that I'll believe such a childish lie?"
Fang Xingjian shook his head. "Li Shuanghua, it doesn't matter where you believe it or not. Today, I'll first cripple you of your cultivation. We'll have a lot of time to have a long chat after this. I'll definitely get you to bow down."
With a tap of his sword, Infiltrating Void exploded in Li Shuanghua's brain. It pierced into a few nerves in her brain, cutting off Li Shuanghua's control over her physical body.
In that instant, Li Shuanghua felt as if the strength in her body started to dissipate.
As her control over her physical body had plunged, she was unable to gather the strength from her muscles and bones. If this were to continue over a long period of time, preventing her from training her body, she would get weaker and weaker, and get closer and closer to being an ordinary person.
However, the most lethal thing was that from this day onward, every time she wanted to focus her attention in her consciousness, her brain would experience an immense pain as if it had been pricked by needles. She was no longer able to activate her martial will and thus was also unable to regenerate her body, unable to attack, and unable to cultivate.
For the whole of the next day, all the members of the world's higher echelon were put through a storm like never before.
The first to bear the impact of the storm was, of course, the Fang Clan. Starting off with Li Shuanghua, Fang Yueming who was Fang Clan's third son, as well as Fang Yueming's wife, several hundred people from the Fang Clan were sent to Demonic City's prison.
Fang Clan's second son, Fang Yuehe, on the other hand, had soared to great heights in status. He had become the spokesperson for the Fang Clan and was left to be in charge of everything in the Fang Clan.
