Enlightenment: Attaining the Dao at Age 8

Chapter 164: Chapter 120: Slaying a Tier Five, Super Electromagnetic Cannon

Li Chang’an did not give them authorization.

The peach tree seemed enraged after being forced to move. All the faces on its trunk turned to look at the gun emplacements in the barbican not far away.

The next second, the peach tree extended a massive root and charged forward, clearly intending to first destroy the gun emplacements that threatened it.

Seeing this, Li Chang’an’s expression grew dark.

This peach tree was extremely powerful. Not only did it possess terrifying regenerative abilities, but it also had considerable intelligence.

’I’ll only get one chance!’

If he couldn’t kill or repel it in one go, then no matter how much he hated the idea, his only choice would be to abandon the city and flee.

With this in mind, Li Chang’an made his decision.

He activated his Barbaric Martial Saint talent and began channeling the Nine Heavens Chaos Technique at full power.

To prevent the peach tree from moving again, Li Chang’an’s gaze hardened, and he shouted, “Chaos Realm, open! Stay put and wait for death! Don’t you fucking move again!”

Before his voice had even faded, a hazy, blue-gray mist, like the wisp of Chaos Qi at the dawn of creation, had silently enveloped the peach tree.

The Chaos Realm was something Li Chang’an had comprehended by observing the peach tree’s ridiculously rule-defying power, which was akin to teleportation.

But it shared the same origin as the Nine Heavens Chaos Technique.

Therefore, using it felt perfectly natural to him.

The moment the Chaos Realm enveloped the peach tree, all ten Super Electromagnetic Cannons, which had long since finished charging, aimed at the tree at the same time.

BZZZZT…

The power of the ten Super Electromagnetic Cannons was instantly cranked to its maximum, and arcs of electricity, almost tangible, flickered to life.

In an instant, all of Cangxuan City’s circuit breakers blew.

The once brilliantly lit city was plunged into darkness. In exchange, Li Chang’an had unleashed ten thick beams of light, like bolts of Thunderbolt that could pierce heaven and earth!

BOOM! RUMBLE!

Deep violet beams of light illuminated the sky.

When Su Ruobing finished clearing out the troublesome grunts and rushed to the outskirts of Cangxuan City, this was the very scene that greeted her.

A look of confusion appeared on her face. After a long moment, she murmured in puzzlement, “What’s going on? The energy fluctuations from these light beams feel like they’re nearing Tier Seven… Could Governor Hu have come in person? But Governor Hu is a Tier Eight Martial Artist. That shouldn’t be it…”

Clearly, she didn’t understand.

Her mind full of questions, she flickered a few times and appeared on Cangxuan City’s wall.

Hundreds of soldiers lay dead on the wall. Each one looked as if something had sucked all the moisture from their bodies, leaving behind nothing but a shriveled husk of human skin.

Su Ruobing glanced at the soldiers, her gaze pausing for a moment, but she said nothing.

After a while, Su Ruobing raised her head again and scanned the devastated battlefield, finally spotting Li Chang’an standing in mid-air not far away.

And before him stood a massive, blackened tree, nearly a hundred meters tall, but with only half of its crown remaining.

She moved to Li Chang’an’s side.

Su Ruobing sized up the great tree for a few moments, then asked, her voice filled with shock and uncertainty, “Is this the Tier Five Plant System special Extraordinary Beast that annihilated Panhu Town?”

Unleashing Domain Power, a feat that should be impossible for a Tier Four Transcendent, had taken a massive toll on Li Chang’an.

Hearing Su Ruobing’s voice, he gasped for several breaths, his face pale as he said, “I don’t know, but unless coincidences in this world can be this perfect, then it must be!”

The peach tree’s entire crown had been pierced by the intense electrical arcs. Its branches were burned to ash, and several holes, each meters in diameter, had been blown through its trunk.

However, in just a few short moments, the holes in the trunk had already mostly healed, leaving only a few head-sized openings still squirming shut.

Seeing this, Li Chang’an couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath. “Is this thing a cockroach? It’s still not dead after a blast like that?”

Su Ruobing’s expression was clearly more complex. She shook her head and said, “It’s already dead. The wounds are only healing because its roots haven’t completely died yet. After the Exotic Beast Tide is over, the Reincarnator Association will send people to deal with the corpse. You don’t need to worry.”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an finally relaxed.

He returned to the top of the city wall.

Su Ruobing glanced at the charred tree trunk, then back at the deathly pale Li Chang’an. After a long silence, she spoke. “Pardon my asking, but what is your current Realm?”

Li Chang’an was panting heavily.

He didn’t hide it; even if he tried, he couldn’t fool her.

So he said bluntly, “I just broke through to Tier Four a few days ago.”

At his words, Su Ruobing fell silent again. She didn’t know if Li Chang’an was telling the truth, and she didn’t even know if she should be surprised.

She thought he might be lying because the power gap between a Tier Four and a Tier Five Evolver, even in the Main World, was immense.

And that wasn’t even considering that the special Extraordinary Beast Li Chang’an had just killed came from the Cave.

When this type of Exotic Beast emerges from the Cave, it can carry a chaotic power of rules, making it far, far stronger than an ordinary Fifth-rank Transcendent from the Main World!

As for why she didn’t know if she should be surprised, it was because, if she recalled correctly, Li Chang’an had only become a Permanent Reincarnator a few months ago.

Students who graduated in the same class as him should still be in their novice period right now!

And here Li Chang’an was, already claiming to have broken through to Tier Four…

A Tier Four Reincarnator—even in the Reincarnator Associations of Kyoto or Shanghai—was undeniably part of the core force.

No matter how she looked at it or heard it.
