Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 139: Everything is Ready

"Senior, are you here?" Yang Ning called out.

"I'm here!" Heng Ming appeared in front of Yang Ning.

"Um, aren't you usually busy?" Seeing how Heng Ming appeared at his beck and call, Yang Ning felt a little embarrassed.

"It's alright!" Heng Ming took out a mobile phone. "I used to travel all over the world, seeing strange people and things, but now I can see them without leaving home, so I have a lot of free time."

"Don't you need to cultivate?" Yang Ning asked.

"My cultivation has reached the pinnacle of this realm. If I want to progress further, I can only ascend!" Heng Ming said. "So I can't cultivate anymore!"

"Oh," Yang Ning understood. This senior was constantly busy with cultivation and couldn't escape from it. He might indeed have a lot of free time.

"What is it this time?" Heng Ming calmly asked.

"Um, I want to use your true body for an experiment, if that's possible," Yang Ning asked cautiously.

After all, it was an Immortal Weapon. Although Heng Ming had said it was possible before, what if it was just a polite gesture from a big shot?

Then, Yang Ning saw the senior reach behind him and take out a small golden tower about a foot tall, and handed it to Yang Ning.

"Here you go!"

Yang Ning was speechless for a moment, but still reached out his hands and carefully accepted it.

This was the Immortal Weapon!

It could easily suppress a planet, even a planet full of cultivators!

Inside, it contained the inheritance of the Extreme Eternal Sect.

It could be said that the Extreme Eternal Sect could endure for three hundred thousand years because of the great contributions of the senior from the Tower of Eternity. Even if everyone from the Extreme Eternal Sect was killed and none were left, with the Tower of Eternity and its internal inheritance, the Extreme Eternal Sect could still be rebuilt.

Yang Ning thought the pagoda would be heavy, but after holding it, he realized that it was actually very light, to the point where it had no weight at all, like holding a ball of air.

However, how could an Immortal Weapon have no weight? It must be that the senior had restrained its weight.

The pagoda had eight sides and eight layers, and each layer had a small bell hanging from the eaves. Yang Ning lightly tapped it, and a crisp bell sound rang out, directly causing his soul to tingle.

"This is the Soul-summoning Bell. It can summon and control the souls of living beings!" Heng Ming explained.

There were eight bells on each layer, seven layers in total, making a total of 56 bells!

"Can it also be used on the souls of the deceased?" Yang Ning's eyes lit up as he asked.

"Are you talking about those people who died a few days ago?" Heng Ming asked.

"Mmm!" Yang Ning nodded. Although they should be able to resurrect them when they reach the end of the immortal path, it would be even better if they could do it earlier.

"Okay!" Heng Ming nodded.

"Huh?" Yang Ning was delighted, but then he heard Heng Ming say, "But are you sure you want to summon their souls back?"

"Well..." Yang Ning blinked. "Is it very troublesome?"

"Not troublesome, but currently, Extreme Eternal has no method of creating physical bodies!" Heng Ming said. "Reviving them rashly will only affect their future potential, and your current strength is also insufficient to protect them."

Yang Ning was speechless. It was indeed the case.

"Do you want to hear my suggestion?" Heng Ming said.

"Please speak, senior!" Yang Ning hurriedly nodded. Tower of Eternity had been alive for three hundred thousand years and had witnessed countless separations and reunions. Naturally, he had more experience in dealing with such matters.

"Work hard in cultivation and improve your realm!" Heng Ming said. "Then wait for them to reincarnate and take them in as your disciples!"

"Reincarnation?" Yang Ning was stunned. "Does this world believe in that?"

"Why wouldn't it?" Heng Ming said. "In our world, there is no such inheritance, but in other worlds, there are inheritances like the Great Reincarnation Art, where they can even dominate and control reincarnation!"

Yang Ning was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Are you talking about the Great World of Xuanhuang? Is that person called Fang Han or the Great Emperor of Reincarnation?"

"The Great World of Xuanhuang?" Heng Ming shook his head. "I haven't heard of it. As for what that world is called, it's too early for you to know. You can understand it when you reach the Spirit Law Realm!"

"Oh, I see!" Yang Ning nodded heavily, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

If that world was the Great World of Xuanhuang, then it would be simple. He could just go and curry favor with Fang Han.

But then he thought again, the naming style of techniques like the Great Dragon's Image Technique and the Great Qi Luck Technique were translated by himself, which is why they had similar names to the Eternal World. But they were indeed not the same worldview.

They were just similar flowers.

Putting aside these thoughts, Yang Ning turned the pagoda over and asked, "Senior Heng Ming, can you open the base of this pagoda and help me make eight parallel metal rails?"

He raised his hand and used the Illusory Water Technique to construct a pagoda in the air according to his needs.

Naturally, Immortal Weapons could change, and Heng Ming didn't seem to make any movements, but the pagoda in Yang Ning's hand had already transformed.

Yang Ning nodded and then began to input electric current into the pagoda.

He also discovered that, like the Moon Gold Wheel, the Tower of Eternity was also a superconductor!

The electric current was input into the pagoda without any loss, and this was a pagoda, not a battery, yet the electric current could be stored, and there seemed to be no visible storage limit.

Yang Ning didn't input too much, just a small amount, and then casually made a tungsten rod and placed it at the bottom of the pagoda.

With a burst of electric current, the tungsten rod was magnetized, and then the surging magnetic field instantly pushed the tungsten rod out.

This tungsten rod resembles a golden tracer bullet and was instantly launched.

"Huh?" Tower of Eternity was momentarily stunned, blinked his eyes, and quickly understood the reason behind what just happened, as it occurred within his body.

Then he found it somewhat unbelievable. Can it really be done like this?

Yang Ning didn't explain and switched to a different type of electric current.

He had just used gold electricity, and now he switched to wood electricity.

Of course, without inputting mana, the only difference between the two is the voltage and frequency. In reality, they are still ordinary lightning.

But what if mana is inputted?

Then it wouldn't be called gold electricity or wood electricity, but rather geng gold divine thunder and yi wood divine thunder.

"The propulsive effect of wood electricity is not as good as gold electricity, the same goes for water, fire, and earth!"

"But the effect of gold electricity is not as good as the purple sky divine thunder!"

"The propulsive force of the purple sky divine thunder is not as good as the chaotic divine thunder, but the armor-piercing effect of the purple sky divine thunder is stronger than that of the chaotic divine thunder!"

"The divine thunder of Zhu Xian cannot be used!"

"The scattered divine thunder is not even as good as the gold thunder!"

After weighing his options, Yang Ning chose the purple sky divine thunder as the electromagnetic cannon's power source. After testing, he confirmed that Tower of Eternity's energy storage had no upper limit.

At least his cultivation at the Qi Refining First Layer was not enough to reach the upper limit of an Immortal Weapon.

So he could go all out now.

"You want to use the pagoda to input divine thunder and then launch that big stick to attack the Lin family?" Heng Ming asked.

The hydrogen bomb they made naturally couldn't hide from Heng Ming.

Yang Ning nodded, "Yes! Senior Heng Ming, what do you think? Can I attack them?"

Heng Ming nodded, "The Lin family in South Forest doesn't belong to the Extreme Eternal Sect. If you want to attack, go ahead. However, the Lin family also has some cultivators with decent strength. If you only throw the stick at them, it may not cause them much harm. If you were to create a Treasure Weapon, there might be some possibility!"

"I don't have the resources to create a Treasure Weapon, but I have my own way!" Yang Ning smiled, "Senior, just wait and see!"

"Is that so?" Heng Ming nodded, "Then I'll wait and see!"

People who have lived for too long naturally enjoy watching the show. Yang Ning's understanding of Heng Ming's mindset was quite accurate.

However, Yang Ning also noticed that according to Senior Heng Ming, the Lin family in South Forest does not belong to the Extreme Eternal Sect.

But under the current system of the Extreme Eternal Sect, isn't the South Forest part of the Extreme Eternal Sect?

Yang Ning suddenly felt that he might have to review the history of Extreme Eternal.

Returning to the Spirit Realm, Yang Ning handed over the task of collecting historical data to Deep Blue while conducting experiments.

The mass of Extreme Eternal is 8.87 m/s^2, and at a distance of 4135 km from the ground, it begins to accelerate under the influence of gravity. If it is launched from the Tower of Eternity at a speed of 40 Mach, then its speed upon landing would reach 47 Mach.

The diameter of Extreme Eternal is 38 meters, and its height is 180 meters. The outer shell and main body are made of tungsten-gold, and the warhead is a 4600 kg helium package wrapped around a small nuclear bomb used for ignition, with a total weight of 1.7 million tons!

If it weren't for Yang Ning establishing the Yingzhou underwater base, it would take an extremely long time to produce so much metal relying solely on Extreme Eternal's productivity.

As for the power of such a weapon, how great is it exactly?

"Extreme Eternal 43, first test, begin!"

At a distance of 4135 kilometers from the ground, an octagonal eight-story pagoda suddenly appeared in the atmosphere, followed by a flash of electricity, and a metal rod, which could be called a giant, was projected at a speed of 40 Mach, or 13720 m/s.

The metal rod continuously accelerated during its movement, but because there was a vacuum ahead, it made no sound and emitted no light.

Beneath the metal rod was a palace complex more prosperous than any palace or heavenly palace Yang Ning had ever seen or imagined, even more prosperous than the Extreme Eternal Palace where Yang Ning resided!

This palace complex is nearly 400 kilometers long and wide, with tall buildings and pavilions everywhere. It contains mountains, rivers, grasslands, deserts, and even swamps and seas. Various rare and exotic animals, treasures, and beautiful people are hidden in the layered spaces.

It seems to have gathered the most beautiful things in the world and the most spiritual people.

If after a hundred or a thousand years, the dynasty is overthrown, the aristocratic families no longer exist, and the world enters a state of great harmony, the people of future generations will definitely regard this place as the most miraculous cultural treasure in the history of Extreme Eternal. Every year, millions, tens of millions, or even billions of people will come here to admire the superb skills and excellent aesthetics of the ancients.

But now, the more magnificent the palace, the more Yang Ning wants to blow it up.

He suddenly understood why Xiang Yu burned down the Palace of the Western Suburbs.

What use is there for the product of extracting the fat and marrow of the people, squeezing the commoners, and harming the civilians?

2 minutes and 41 seconds later, a 1.7 million-ton metal rod fell from the sky.

Yang Ning's expression was tense and solemn, but he saw the Five Elements Rotation Formation flash, and then it was pierced through by Extreme Eternal 43!

What followed was endless light, heat, and tranquility.

"Boom!"

"Fuck!" Yang Ning blurted out, "I prepared for so long, so carefully, calculating and increasing the weight, even emptied the air in advance to create a vacuum environment, fearing that this formation could withstand Extreme Eternal, but it shattered with just one touch?"

"Is there a possibility?" Deep Blue asked, "This formation can defend against magical attacks but not physical attacks?"

Yang Ning was stunned. Huh?

This statement seemed absurd, but upon careful consideration, it seemed very reasonable!

Physical attacks, either through physical contact or relying on the advantage of weapons, only occur in the Physical Body Realm!

At the Qi Refining Stage, cultivators generally start using Spirit Weapons and Treasure Weapons. At this stage, relying on the physical body is no longer appropriate.

This is because the growth rate of the human body is slow, but the growth rate of spiritual power is fast. This means that Divine Abilities and spells become the mainstream attack methods.

So, what about directly using Spirit Weapons and Treasure Weapons to attack people?

It is possible, but not necessary, because if you rely on the material of these weapons to attack the enemy, they will be damaged!

The reason why Spirit Materials are considered valuable is not because they are extremely hard, but because they have a high affinity with spiritual energy.

Using Spirit Weapons for physical attacks is still common because they are relatively cheap and easy to repair if damaged.

However, if a Treasure Weapon is damaged, it will truly be painful for cultivators, especially if it is their life-saving Treasure Weapon that they have only one of.

Treasure Weapons are precious, and Dao Weapons are even more precious. If they are damaged, one might regret it for thirty to fifty years!

So, can Immortal Weapons be used to directly attack people?

Yes, they can. Immortal Weapons are made of extraordinary materials and are difficult to break with ordinary means.

But can Extreme Eternal, a publicly known Immortal Weapon like the Tower of Eternity, go and attack the South Forest just because it can?

The designers of the formation would not have overlooked the possibility of physical attacks, but they only intended to defend against ordinary Demonic Beasts and the like. They could never have imagined that someone from the future would create a 1.7 million-ton metal rod and attack the formation at a speed of 47 Mach from space!

"However, this is the only time. After seeing the devastation in the South Forest, other forces will definitely enhance their physical defenses!" Yang Ning said.

But he didn't care. Right now, he is only at the Qi Refining First Layer. When other forces enhance their defenses, the intensity of his thunder technique will increase, and the power of the missiles he launches will also continue to increase.

Indeed, Yang Ning never intended to engage in direct combat with people unless absolutely necessary.

He believes in the teachings of his teacher, Chen Hegao. When encountering enemies, use a gun instead of resorting to other means, and use a truck instead of a motorcycle if possible.

Now that he can use hydrogen bombs, why should he personally take risks?

"How powerful is it?" Yang Ning asked as he looked at the palace in front of him, which had been flattened by one-tenth.

"Its power is equivalent to 460 million tons of TNT!"

In other words, it is as powerful as a Tsar Bomba with a yield nine times that of a regular nuclear bomb.

Of course, this is just an experiment, so the data may differ from reality.

Therefore, Yang Ning does not plan to launch only one.

Since the formation has five major areas, each with five formation bases, he should launch 25 bombs to destroy the formation first.

Furthermore, the killing range of a hydrogen bomb is only 55 kilometers, while the South Forest palace is 400 kilometers long and wide. Moreover, the internal space is filled with formations, so the actual space is much larger than 400 kilometers. After Deep Blue's calculations, it was determined that carpet bombing the area would require 3691 Xiliang 43 missiles.

Finally, this 400-kilometer palace belongs to the core members of the South Forest. The branch families also have their own palaces, each as luxurious as the imperial palaces of a dynasty. These palaces are scattered across the 500,000 square kilometers of land owned by the Lin family, and each of these palaces needs to be targeted.

Conservatively calculated, it would require another 11,250 pieces!

When combined, it would actually require 15,000 hydrogen bombs!

Is it an exaggeration?

Not at all, this is a family that has been passed down for over ten thousand years, not a small clan that can be wiped out by a few thousand rebels like in the Tang Dynasty!

The Lin family alone has a core population of over 30 million, and there are even four billion servants and maidservants who depend on them!

If you include the farmers outside the city who cultivate the land, there are a staggering 1.8 billion people living in this 500,000 square kilometer territory!

What? Can't fit?

Don't forget about the interstitial space!

These people also enjoy a lot, often only a few dozen people live in palaces that cover thousands of acres of land. If you don't use hydrogen bombs, it won't work. They are cultivators, and they can fly dozens of kilometers in just two minutes. If the power is too small, it won't reach them.

Even so, it is still impossible to completely eradicate them, because many members of the Lin family live outside the ancestral land.

However, these people no longer have a direct interest relationship with the Lin family. For example, Lin Jingyun, although he is a prince, has been too far away and has lost contact with the Lin family, so there is no need to pursue them anymore.

As for whether this approach is too cruel and whether it will harm the innocent?

Yang Ning has considered this, he only attacks the palaces, and the farmers outside will only be momentarily blinded by the light, but they definitely won't die!

Moreover, hydrogen bombs do not produce any radiation and are a very clean weapon, so there won't be any follow-up issues for the local people.

Yang Ning also calculated the impact on the ecology.

If these 14,000 hydrogen bombs were detonated on Earth, they would carpet bomb the Eurasian continent, raising dust that could envelop the entire planet, blocking the spread of sunlight and plunging the Earth into a nuclear winter!

The Earth would probably only suffer a superficial wound, but there is no doubt that humanity would be extinct!

But this is Extreme Eternal, not counting the space within the interstitial space, the surface area alone is 54 times that of Earth.

What would be a severe injury to Earth is only a minor injury to Extreme Eternal!

Moreover, after the explosion, Immortal Weapon will intervene to stabilize the situation!

After finishing the calculations, Yang Ning double-checked several times to confirm that there were no errors before leaving the Spirit Realm.

The surging mana in his body rushed towards the Dragon Ball, transformed into the power of the Law Nightmare, and then transmitted through the Cloud Mist Information Matrix to the distant deep sea.

The transmission rate of spiritual energy is faster than light, and in the blink of an eye, the surging power of the Law Nightmare was distributed to countless robots, conveyor belts, metallurgical platforms, and mining equipment at the bottom of the Yuzhou Sea through water droplets.

By infusing the machines with the power of the Law Nightmare, which they had absorbed during the Physical Body Realm, unimaginable potential can be unleashed. Now, with a higher quality and larger quantity of the power of the Law Nightmare injected, all the machines instantly entered an overloaded state!

Efficiency, strength, and speed all increased, and the work efficiency of the entire underwater factory instantly increased by 437 times!

Large chunks of ore are extracted, sent to the conveyor belt, and then crushed and smelted to become pure metal. The metal is then proportionally poured into the smelting furnace, and the Gengjin Divine Thunder directly transforms the metal into metal parts. The nearby robots automatically send the parts to the assembly workshop, where they are assembled one by one. They are then transported to Yang Ning through a teleportation array on his phone.

"Are there still more?" Yuan Xi, who had just completed a task of engraving a hydrogen bomb rune, looked at the extra Xiliang 43 ships in the courtyard and widened her eyes.

"Of course!" Yang Ning said calmly, "If you don't eliminate the roots, they will grow again with the spring breeze!"

Instead of seeking revenge against only Lin Tianheng, who knows what other powerful figures might emerge behind him, like his father or grandfather.

It's better to take them all out at once. After all, the Lin family is not a good bunch. They have been in power for tens of thousands of years, accumulating countless sins!

"Not only these, there are still over ten thousand more behind!" Yang Ning asked, "Do you feel tired?"

"No!" Yuan Xi immediately shook her head. As a Divine Ability Realm cultivator, drawing a few runes was nothing to her. "And the more I draw, the more proficient I become. I feel like I have talent in the field of runes. Do you think I should change my profession and learn talismans and formations?"

"Don't bother learning. It has no future!" Yang Ning shook his head.

"Huh?" Yuan Xi blinked, "Why?"

"Take a look at this!" Yang Ning handed her a seal.

"What is this?" Yuan Xi took it and looked at the other side of the seal, which seemed to be engraved with the pattern of a Spirit Gathering Talisman.

"Infuse it with mana, then try imprinting it on a spiritual material!" Yang Ning said.

Yuan Xi was startled and thought of a possibility. She quickly took out a piece of spiritual material and imprinted it.

A Spirit Gathering Talisman appeared directly on the spiritual material!

"What?!" Yuan Xi was shocked, "How is this possible!"

Even for an experienced person, it would take at least a couple of blinks to draw a Spirit Gathering Talisman.

But now, she just imprinted it once!

In other words, with this, there is no need for rune masters at all?

"You invented this too?" Yuan Xi asked in astonishment.

"Yes!" Yang Ning nodded, "Just a toy!"

"A toy?" Yuan Xi was amazed, "Do you know how much this will change the rune master industry? How can this be a toy!"

Yang Ning smiled, "It's just a seal, what else can it be? Also, I improved the process, so you don't need to draw runes anymore!"

He had been thinking about the application of lithography machines in rune drawing since the Physical Body Realm. Just now, in order to mass-produce Xiliang 43, he also designed it.

Rune drawing is something that can be randomly generated by nature. It doesn't require much technical skill. The reason why drawing runes requires high standards for rune masters is not because of their control over spiritual power, but because the quality of the spiritual liquid used for drawing runes is not good, with too many impurities, which affects the transmission of spiritual power.

And the higher the level of the talisman master, the higher their cultivation level generally is. Their magical power quality is also higher, allowing them to ignore impurities in the spiritual liquid and achieve a powerful effect.

Yang Ning extracts the spiritual liquid using a centrifuge to remove impurities. The remaining spiritual liquid only needs to be shaped into a fixed form and then infused with Spirit Qi to produce an effect.

As for the lithography process, the ghost head tungsten is first refined into single crystal ghost head tungsten. Then, a lithography machine is used to etch patterns on it, and the spiritual liquid is injected into the patterns. Finally, a non-conductive metal is used to encapsulate it. Thus, a ghost head tungsten chip engraved with runes is born.

It is just a pity that his lithography machine has a low process capability, and injecting excessive Law Nightmare power only reaches 248nm. Even so, on a one square centimeter tungsten piece, 1.6 billion runes can be engraved.

Originally, a ghost head tungsten the size of one cubic meter was needed for the warhead, but now only a piece on the tip of the warhead is enough!

The only regret is that he has only made the lithography machine in the Spirit Realm and not in reality. He has to wait for 36 days.

While a hydrogen bomb can be assembled in one day, it takes 36 days for a lithography machine. Although it is because Yang Ning does not have ready-made production lines and equipment, it is enough to prove that the lithography machine is indeed qualified to sit on the industrial crown as a gem.

Time passes bit by bit.

Lin Tianheng has people guarding the gate while also following the progress of the merger with Heavenly Horse Company.

Then he discovers that Heavenly Horse Company is just an empty shell because the factory buildings have not been built, so there are naturally no machines or anything.

As for the students recruited by Yang Ning at school, they have only learned the basics and cannot build a car at all.

His subordinates who are artifact refining masters can imitate and build cars, but cars earn silver while artifact refining masters earn spirit stones. Lin Tianheng only wants his money to increase, but he doesn't want his spirit stones to decrease.

Yang Ning, who can build cars, hides in Extreme Eternal Palace and doesn't come out, making Lin Tianheng particularly frustrated.

In the Taiyi Array, the chaotic battle continues. Although the people from Mysterious Heaven Sect have disappeared, the atmosphere of the battle has not faded. Deep Blue has caught a trace of someone causing trouble, but they are too busy to pay attention to that side.

To the north of Monster Alliance and to the west of Myriad Saints Alliance, there is a force called Tianfei Palace that has gained fame in the world with the popularity of mobile phones.

This sect, like the Antarctic Lihanh Palace, is the only sect in the world composed entirely of women.

But unlike the Lihanh Palace, where they always wear thick clothes and can't see anything, Tianfei Palace is adjacent to Monster Alliance and Myriad Saints Alliance.

Both of these forces have an open-minded culture, and as a result, the female cultivators of Tianfei Palace are also very open-minded.

In addition, there is a warm current near Tianfei Palace, making it spring-like all year round. This has led to the dressing style of Tianfei Palace being loose and flowing, with one piece on the upper body and one piece on the lower body, highlighting a charming demeanor.

Tianfei Palace has just joined the internet, and the number of fans of the palace master, Yao Yue, has surpassed Taindao Yi, ranking first in the world.

Extreme Eternal has always been like this, noisy and bustling, but overall, it is still relatively peaceful!

This chapter is 6,000 words long, which is a bit long, but I couldn't find a suitable place to divide it, so I won't divide it.

I'm going to sleep now. If I wake up before 10 o'clock, I'll write another chapter.

(End of this chapter)
