Chapter 755: Explosive Shield
Ramdo was attempting to challenge the Green Wizard King of the World Tree's microscopic control limits.
A human fist could block attacks from other fists, but it was powerless to intercept microorganisms invading through pores. This was the gap in control precision.
The green light emitted from the idol's eyes, from its initial macroscopic strikes, gradually switched to infiltrating and destroying the static field at the microscopic level.
Aside from macroscopic feats like moving mountains, filling seas, and destroying heaven and earth, battles between True Immortals at the microscopic level were equally fierce.
Single-atom level material control rendered almost all conventional physical defenses virtually useless in the eyes of a True Immortal.
No matter how solid the material, as long as it was composed of multiple atoms, it was bound to be effortlessly torn apart by a True Immortal, ripping all atomic and molecular bonds, and kneaded into a pot of atomic soup.
It was precisely due to this characteristic that a certain True Immortal once initiated an unprecedented project at the Federation Academy of Sciences.
They attempted to construct neutron star-like degenerate matter, highly compressed from a large number of atoms, as a defensive material against True Immortal attacks.
The project lasted nearly ten years, consuming immense human and material resources, and eventually gave birth to a material named "Taibai Immortal Gold."
The only problem was, its density was terrifyingly high; a piece of Taibai Immortal Gold the size of a palm already weighed over a million tons, equivalent to the combined mass of several Federation standard aerospace carriers.
Of course, compared to a genuine neutron star's density, it was still several orders of magnitude lower.
And to maintain such ultra-high density in a regular laboratory, a small nuclear power plant was required to constantly provide sufficient energy support.
Compressing a large number of atoms to such a density required an enormous input of external energy.
A single shield was equivalent to carrying millions of tons of material around, and for a seventh-stage True Immortal, it was actually a considerable burden.
What was more troublesome was that it also required continuous charging for the "shield" to maintain its existence.
Once the energy supply was interrupted, the atomic clusters within the Taibai Immortal Gold, compressed to their limit, would completely explode due to the intense repulsive forces between atomic nuclei, transforming into a nuclear fission explosive shield.
From a defensive item to a self-destructing artifact was but a single thought away.
...
“You lost.”
A moment later, Ramdo suddenly said.
“Your cultivation in the microscopic world is far inferior to mine.”
A green figure appeared from the surface of the execution planet, which was completely enveloped by the World Tree.
This was Ramdo's split soul avatar.
Originally, this wisp of split soul was his primer for studying the Reincarnation Tribulation, equivalent to a version of himself without awakened memories.
But whether by accident or by fortunate coincidence, this split soul avatar had joined the Mundane Empire and had even been captured and was about to be publicly executed.
Although losing this wisp of split soul would not cause significant harm to his main body, combined with existing grievances and grudges, Ramdo still launched this war.
And the first objective of the war was to rescue this wisp of split soul from the execution ground and have it return to his main body.
A large amount of research data was still stored within this split soul avatar.
Ramdo's split soul avatar lightly traced a circle with his left hand, and a spatial gate, large enough for two people, appeared out of thin air. After finishing his taunt, this avatar was supposed to run.
“No, I haven't lost.”
The Green Wizard King's voice echoed ceaselessly throughout this world.
A massive gate, over ten stories high, its sides covered in white bone patterns, abruptly appeared directly in front of the spatial gate Ramdo had drawn.
The surface of the white bone gate was adorned with countless patterns carved from bones, and faint wisps of chilling aura seeped out from the gaps in the door.
“Life.”
“Death.”
“Re.”
“Turn.”
If there were still people familiar with ancient Huaxia characters, they might faintly discern the shadows of these four characters within the patterns.
“Ra—”
“m—”
“do—”
“—Yield—”
“—Your—”
“—Life—!”
A voice, hoarse as if scraped from grinding machinery, roared forth as the massive gate slowly opened!
Appearing simultaneously was a colossal bone claw, each finger of which was over ten meters long.
In less than a thousandth of a second, the colossal bone claw swept through like a gale, crushing Ramdo's split soul avatar, along with the spatial gate he had summoned for his escape, into oblivion.
However, the bone claw also paid a considerable price, as a ghastly green void was corroded into it.
“You are... that boy?”
Facing this sudden attack, Ramdo did not display much anger.
To be honest, he wasn't entirely certain who the owner of this colossal bone claw was; he merely had a vague guess.
“It is I, the one you nearly successfully possessed back then!”
After hearing this, Ramdo became even more confused.
Mainly, over the past century or so, in order to reintegrate the God Body and divinity that Bai Mo had destroyed, and even ascend to become a Divine Immortal, he had used various methods, such as playing the role of an old grandfather, a system, a second personality, or a fortuitous encounter, to possess and swindle far too many people.
He was especially skilled at such cunning tactics of 'borrowing a hen to lay eggs,' professionally playing the role of various cheat systems, fattening up his targets before possessing and consuming them, turning them into nourishment for his rapid advancement.
It was precisely because of this bottomless 'pig-farming' style of plunder that while he progressed at an astonishing rate, he also garnered the deep-seated enmity of several 'Children of Fortune' who had escaped his grasp.
Although this enmity became almost negligible after Ramdo ascended to True Immortalhood, it was still quite difficult to recall how many schemes he had laid or how many people he had offended.
“I am Xiao Chou; today, I’ve come to collect some interest.”
“The Lord of the Boneyard Realm from the Land of White?” Hearing the name Xiao Chou, Ramdo finally managed to identify which unfortunate victim, whom he had previously swindled, was confronting him.
Back then, it was a fragment of Ramdo's divinity which, disguised as an old grandfather, was carried by Xiao Chou. Then, coveting Xiao Chou's body, Ramdo actively made a move to possess it, but was coincidentally stopped by Bai Mo.
But Xiao Chou ultimately lost his physical body and became a being living in the Boneyard Realm in the form of a skeleton.
“It is I.”
“Do you think you are him? The power projected across tens of billions of kilometers—how much of it could possibly remain?”
“At least enough to destroy your split soul.” In the palm of the colossal bone claw, a face, that of Xiao Chou from when he was still called Xiao Yan, emerged.
“Too bad you were too slow. The loss of one or even half a split soul is of no consequence whatsoever.” Ramdo's split soul, in the instant before its destruction, successfully transmitted the most crucial experimental data back to his main body.
“Old Tree Stump, have you played all your cards? Then isn’t it my turn?” Ramdo casually gave Ying Huo the nickname 'Old Tree Stump.'
“Four Holy Beasts Seal the Heavens!”
