Luo Kai's spiritual consciousness returned from the chaotic negative space. The world in front of him had completely changed.
A bottomless pit hundreds of meters wide was across the earth's mantle.
All life, stones, and soil had turned into nothingness. Only the smooth mantle was left. It was like a desolate Venus, full of death and despair.
This city with a population of hundreds of thousands had become a city of death. A gray aura shrouded the sky above the city. It was not dust, but the resentment, anger, and despair of the living before they died.
The temperature at the center of a nuclear explosion could reach hundreds of millions of degrees. It could destroy all matter.
The spiritual consciousness of nothingness could escape into the negative space to avoid damage, but the physical body could not.
All the flesh on his body had disappeared. Except for the silver sarcoma in his stomach and the granulated kidney, everything else had turned into nothing. He had completely turned into a skeleton.
However, he did not show any signs of death. The crystallized bones had become even more refined under the melting of the nuclear explosion. They were like real crystals, dazzling under the sunlight.
The stars in the sky seemed to be within reach. They were emitting a faint light. Traces of the power of the stars were constantly gathering, forming a brilliant light column.
After the power of the stars entered his body, it was transformed into the energy of the five elements. It repaired his broken body. Traces of skin and flesh were quickly growing.
This was the magical effect of the small cycle of the five elements. As long as there was external energy supply, he could infinitely regenerate!
Unfortunately, his elemental body was not perfect. Although he could infinitely regenerate, it still needed some time to strengthen and condense.
After recovering a little bit of his intuition, Luo Kai landed and searched the barren surface. The surrounding crystallized corpses and the resentment of the dead before they died made his heart fall into the abyss.
Gradually, an indescribable sense of desolation rose in his heart. He ran wildly on the ground, passing through one gully after another. Finally, he jumped directly into the huge crack in the center of the city.
The crack was filled with the smell of sulfur and saltpeter. He could vaguely see red magma rising from the depths of the ground.
He slowly slid down from the sky. His majestic spiritual power spread out. Countless carbonized bones were hanging on the protruding rock walls around him.
He couldn't sense a single trace of the aura of a living being. His newborn heart was beating rapidly, and his face was flushed red. The pressure in his heart made him want to scream or … kill.
The pitch-black fiendish flames rose with his emotions, forming a dense whirlpool that attracted the endless resentment around him. The stars in his eyes were about to extinguish. Once all the stars were extinguished, he would no longer be a human, but a demon!
"Chirp chirp …" Just as Luo Kai's mind was about to be filled with boundless resentment, a weak chirp sounded.
The metal snake coiled around his neck had shrunk quite a bit, becoming only the size of a finger. The chirping sound it made was also barely audible.
The fiendish flames on Luo Kai's body quickly subsided, and his eyes gradually regained their clarity. His body began to rise rapidly, and in a moment, he had returned to the surface.
Two missiles carrying high-yield fusion warheads attacked the Hengduan Mountains in the south of the human territory.
The last city in Seongma Province was finally destroyed by the weapons created by human beings. The power of the explosion was secondary, but the violent radiation that was everywhere had completely destroyed the living environment in the south of the mainland. In the future, this place would be a land of death.
Luo Kai stood in the same place, and his thoughts gradually calmed down again.
An indifferent voice sounded in his ears, "What sorrow is there in life? What bitterness is there in death? How can there be new life without death?"
A tall man wearing a gray monk's robe slowly walked over. Wherever his feet went, ripples would appear in the void. It was as if he was walking in the void, and the violent radiation around him was nothing.
Luo Kai didn't look surprised, and said, "The meaning of life is to live a colorful life. It's a pity that many people don't have the chance to enjoy it before they are cut off."
The man said indifferently, "Humans are like millions of ants in this world. Brother Luo, do you think your life is wonderful?
Even at today's level, we are still struggling in this sea of bitterness! "
Luo Kai fell silent. This was the best era. Everything in the world had the opportunity to evolve, but at the same time, it was also the worst era. The fierce competition was incomparably cruel.
People in this chaotic world were like duckweed. When he woke up in this life, he was already in the prison on South Fang Island. The days after that were closely followed by pain and death. He didn't feel much of the affection, friendship, and love in the world, so how could it be wonderful?
Even now, he had become the most powerful life form in the world. Nuclear explosions couldn't do anything to him. In terms of thinking, everything in the world had become insignificant. However, he still couldn't transcend because he was a human.
As the saying went, "Love is a sin. Everyone is wronged. Extreme wisdom will be hurt, and deep love will not live long."
As long as there were thoughts and consciousness, there was no way to transcend. Perhaps death was the best release.
At this moment, he suddenly felt as if his heart had turned to ash. Everything was meaningless. So what if he could become a god …?
The surging evil energy outside resonated with his thoughts and swarmed together. For a moment, the sky changed color. The wind, the soil, and everything else that existed began to wither and die.
The man didn't expect that his words would cause such a big effect. He felt the chaotic energy outside violently seeping into his body. His body rapidly expanded, and layers of fine green scales appeared on the surface of his skin. His hands transformed into sharp claws, and a long tail grew behind him. He instantly transformed into a half-human, half-dragon form. A fierce and primitive aura spread out.
Luo Kai suddenly turned around and said indifferently, "Buddhism emphasizes karma and reincarnation. Today's cause will result in the future. It's a pleasure to meet Brother Ling. We'll meet again if fate wills it." After saying that, he led the boundless evil energy and flew towards the sea.
The man in the monk's robe was one of the four great saints of the human race, Dragon Saint. He removed his transformation and returned to his human form. He stood still and murmured, "This person is invincible. The Three-Eyed Race is in trouble."
…
The nuclear bomb's power was extremely shocking. The entire Hengduan Mountain Range turned into a sea of sand. The violent radiation spread inland with the airflow. Not only were humans affected, but also ferocious beasts were affected.
Evergreen City was a human gathering place in the central part of the human race. Zhang Wenqian held a long spear and followed a military patrol outside the city.
Ever since the collapse of Beihai County, she joined the army and was later transferred here to become the garrison officer of Evergreen City. Some time ago, she finally succeeded in becoming a physique master and awakened a powerful water attribute special ability, which allowed her to cultivate both energy and physique.
Looking at the people vomiting and having diarrhea on the streets, Zhang Wenqian couldn't help but feel sad.
It could be seen that most of them had blood-red spots on their skin. Some of them had a high fever and were unconscious. Some of their limbs had even become deformed and ugly tumors had grown out of them.
These were the aftereffects of the nuclear radiation. The violent radiation destroyed their body cells and even changed their original genetic structure.
A large number of monks on the streets were feeding them salt water. Evergreen City was located in the south-central area. The most powerful force in the city was the Longyang Temple represented by these monks.
Iodized salt could slightly reduce the radiation damage to various glands in the human body. However, the effect wasn't very good. The key was still to rely on oneself.
Although most of the humans didn't have a strong resistance like the ferocious beasts, their bodies were still much stronger. They could slowly recover from mild or moderate radiation. However, there was nothing they could do about the severe radiation that had changed their limbs and invaded their genes. They could only wait for death slowly.
Zhang Wenqian looked at the radiation clouds in the sky and couldn't help but think of that person. She sighed sadly. That guy really forgot about her!
"Miss Zhang, my master invites you to a banquet."
A young novice monk with red lips and white teeth walked over and said.
Zhang Wenqian frowned and turned to leave. Behind her, the gloomy voice rang out again, "My master said that to be able to meet Miss Zhang again here, it is truly a karma of a thousand miles. Miss Zhang, it is best if you don't refuse."
Zhang Wenqian quickened her pace and returned to the garrison camp. She anxiously paced back and forth in the room.
The master that the novice monk mentioned was called the Yin Yang Monk. He was the androgynous monk that she met in the Yunling Monastery. She didn't expect to meet him again here.
Although she was a physical master now and was also a physical master, the gap between her and an advanced physical master was still too big.
The southern area was under the influence of the Longyang Temple. The Yin Yang Monk was the direct disciple of the Dragon Sage and had a high status. If it wasn't for the fact that she was a physical master and a general in the military, he would have used force.
