I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 407. The Yearning for the Kunlun Mirror
Chapter 407: 407. The Yearning for the Kunlun Mirror
The metal rod, starkly resembling an electrical pole, fiercely rubbed against the atmosphere, falling from the sky wrapped in a stunningly bright blaze, just like a star plummeting to earth.
Despite its aerodynamic shape and the propulsion of Spirit Power, its velocity remained at 60 kilometers per second, which is 170 times the speed of sound! freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Just to put things into perspective, tank armor-piercing rounds leave the barrel at a mere 5 times the speed of sound, not to mention that the metal rod weighed at least two tons.
This was a bona fide astronomical disaster, not something a mere bomb could compare to.
One could see the metal rod tearing through the vault of heaven, ripping through clouds, and crashing down with a terrifying force.
Onlookers felt as if a rope was tightening around their hearts, nearly being scared to a standstill.
"We’ll be caught in it! Run for it! Get away from Lu Li!"
"It’s too late! Take cover in the bomb craters!"
With only 10 seconds to go before the "Star Fall" would hit the ground, a group of people frantically sought refuge in deep pits cratered by the True Monarchs’ fierce battles.
Li Yuanzhong, supporting Zhen Yangzi, dashed to the side of Xia Weiyun and others, first bowing respectfully to the Dragon Girl, and then activating the shield of Immortal Will for protection.
The Dragon Girl didn’t respond, not even blinking as she fixated on Lu Li, curious to see how he would handle the situation.
Su Qing hastily transmitted a message to Lu Li, suggesting, "Run towards my master and force him to act in defense together."
This tactic was indeed mean-spirited, but Liu Xuan had already anticipated this move and likewise, Lu Li didn’t wish to place his hopes on someone else.
With a wave of his hand, three dragon heads emerged from the void, mouths opening to shoot golden jets that bombarded the metal rod!
The kinetic energy carried by the metal rod was too horrific; it shattered the jets upon impact, not slowing its descent in the slightest.
Qiu Ying continuously adjusted the trajectory, a cold sneer in his heart, "Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating oneself!"
However, Lu Li’s action was simply for gathering data:
"Terrifying speed, it’s a Nine Grade Magical Tool, resistant to high temperatures, and even more durable."
In the blink of an eye, Lu Li had a plan in mind, and he wasn’t too flustered.
Space-based weapons were indeed terrifying, but would absolutely not withstand the "Extinction" of the Kunlun Mirror.
This was a Divine Ability that could "laser punch" through the earth, and a mere Nine Grade Magical Tool could be annihilated in an instant.
"But such a Divine Item, notorious in broad daylight... could likely invite enemies too formidable to provoke."
The "Kunlun Mirror" could only be considered a backup option, now that the "Vermilion Bird" was providing assistance, there was another highly feasible method.
Right on cue, Wanqing spoke up, "Husband, use the laser!"
"I was thinking the same!" Lu Li replied.
Lu Li looked towards the metal rod trailing a long tail of flames, rallying all of his Spirit and True Qi into his eyes.
Veins near his eyeballs protruded, and with the aid of the Vermilion Bird, he fired two laser beams as thick as bowls!
The High Energy Laser hit the metal rod abruptly, exploding with temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees, igniting the surrounding air with a thunderous roar, as if it were thunder itself.
The metal rod, merely a Nine Grade Magical Tool, was strong but had its limitations, and it began to melt instantaneously.
As the Star Fall seemed about to be stopped, Qiu Ying thought to intervene.
But Li Yuanzhong, well aware of this man’s nature, quickly stepped forward to block him.
Qiu Ying’s expression turned cold, "You dare to make an enemy of Hua Mountain Sect!"
Li Yuanzhong firmly stated, "Not at all, the old Taoist simply disapproves of Master Qiu’s conduct."
"You old fool..."
Qiu Ying cursed with a cold face, but restrained his rage, quietly squeezing a jade thumb ring on his thumb.
Engraved with several ancient characters, one could faintly discern the words "Breakthrough."
In just two or three seconds, the metal rod could no longer withstand the continuous assault of the laser, melting rapidly like a scoop of ice cream in boiling water, disintegrating in midair.
The scene where the laser disintegrated the space-based weapon had the surrounding crowd gasping in amazement:
"What a powerful ’Fire Escape Mysterious Light Evil,’ truly befitting of the Vermilion Bird’s innate divine ability!"
"This Lu Li actually has a Vermilion Bird wife who shares a heart with him... But with all these women around him, which one is the Vermilion Bird?"
"That’s not right, the Heavenly Pool Dragon Girl is also among his women! Are they related on both sides!?"
And there, the Dragon Girl was "petting a cat," caressing Xingru’s little head.
Such intimacy did not seem like that of two people who had just met, especially since she had actively offered help just before.
Everyone assumed that their relationship was profound, and both Li Yuanzhong and Zhen Yangzi were quite surprised.
Li Yuanzhong transmitted a message to Xia Weiyun, asking, "When did Lu Li become acquainted with the Dragon Girl?"
"I’ve never heard of him mentioning her before, and it seems the Dragon Girl came here on her own, not looking like they knew each other."
Xia Weiyun was also puzzled, but then another thought crossed her mind:
If we can really establish a relationship with the Dragon Girl, there’s no need to worry about retaliation from the Immortal Sect! We really offended the Hua Mountain Sect and Taishan Sect today...
Meanwhile, Qiu Ying, looking at the Dragon Girl, really thought she had an affair with Lu Li and began to foolishly imagine:
"The Dragon Girl is 1200 years old; it’s about time for her mating period. The Dragon Clan has always liked to mingle with cultivators who share a dragon or flood dragon Heart Image. That Lu thief must be her lover."
"No wonder he has such cultivation with a True Dragon supporting him."
Liu Xuan also harbored this thought, and turned his gaze toward Shen Siang who was half dead, thinking to himself:
"Strange, this one has the Azure Dragon Heart Image, yet the Dragon Girl appears completely indifferent, not even giving him a glance. Could it be that he is too useless?"
All these thoughts flashed by in an instant, and the metal rod in the sky had completely vanished from sight, finally allowing the crowd to breathe a sigh of relief.
Lu Li stopped the laser, closed his eyes to rest, and the flame armor on his body slowly turned transparent and dissipated.
This laser was extremely powerful. The Vermilion Bird surely played a central role in regulating it, forcibly controlling a power that was not its own, which led to some excessive consumption.
Now that the crisis was resolved, it quickly retreated to the Sea of Consciousness to rest.
It was at this moment, Qiu Ying suddenly shot towards the thick white mist at the mountainside... the very entrance to the Spirit Realm!
Clutching that jade thumb ring, his body shifted from solid to ethereal, stretching into a needle-thin shape, and squeezed through a tiny hole he had created in the mist.
Liu Xuan was only 0.2 seconds behind, employing a similar Magic Door method, shifting from solid to ethereal to "breakthrough" into the realm.
Before leaving, he left a mental note: "Juniors without the breakthrough method, wait outside carefully!"
This entrance to the Spirit Realm has been surrounded by the Chuyun people for many years to no avail; it definitely wouldn’t be easy to enter.
The two clearly used advanced methods to penetrate. The tiny hole they made also closed up in an instant, leaving no chances behind.
Li Yuanzhong said to Lu Li, "Young friend, we have achieved our merit and reached perfection. Let’s quit while we’re ahead."
As the matter stood, the foreign high-ranking officials had been annihilated, and Lu Li had no pressing need for the Spirit Realm or the Spiritual Spring.
The only thing he desired, the Thunder Tribulation Cultivation Method, seemed to be attainable through the Dragon Girl.
However, Lu Li flashed to the entrance of the Spirit Realm, his expression carrying a rare seriousness!
The fact that the two had "broken through" just before, each punching a small hole in the mist and allowing some aura to leak, implied it was the aura from inside the Spirit Realm.
Upon this slight contact, the Kunlun Mirror suddenly shook violently, bursting with a strong emotion of "desire."
The last time this phenomenon occurred was at Jiushan Sect, when it first came into contact with the Spirit Mechanism.
But this time, it was even more urgent, even more yearning!
This meant that inside the Spirit Realm, there was something of vital importance to the "Kunlun Mirror!"
"That settles it, I have to go in and take a look!"
Unable to find the way in, Lu Li turned his attention to the "Heavenly Pool Dragon Girl."
