....... Yet it turned into an unexpected coincidence. All of Park Yong-ho's efforts were reduced to nothing. Formations? Buildings? After tonight, every mountain on this island would likely be flattened. Logically speaking, Park Yong-ho's arrangements and ideas were excellent. But unfortunately, Lu Ding's version was far superior. Who could have predicted that a minor update Would unleash such a devastating weapon? Where's the justice in that? A dozen kilometers east of East Kang Island. Lu Ding came to a stop. "Feifan, got everything recorded?" "Don't worry, Brother Lu! Captured from the coolest angles!!" Yan Feifan held his phone steady, not moving a muscle. His heart pounded with excitement. He could roughly guess what Lu Ding intended to do! Lu Ding turned to gaze at distant East Kang Island. "If this were domestic territory, I wouldn't dare unleash this." He raised the Tiger Qi Death Beam Cannon and took aim. A mischievous impulse struck him. "Feifan, do you know what art is?" Yan Feifan blinked, thought for a moment, then shook his head. Just then— Countless sinister runes erupted from the [Tiger Qi Death Beam Cannon], blanketing the sky in an instant. Crimson light radiated from these runes, growing brighter and brighter until it completely dispelled the darkness. The entire world seemed bathed in blood-red hues. Enemy forces on East Kang Island all turned to stare at this bizarre phenomenon. Every last one fixed their gaze On the distant spectacle. Unaware their doom had arrived! Lu Ding's Spiritual Sea churned violently. The Sin Dragon roared as liquefied spiritual energy surged through his meridians, pouring full power into the [Tiger Qi Death Beam Cannon]. Suddenly!!! The sky-filling runes contracted violently, all funneling back into the weapon. Black mist exploded around Lu Ding as the scene transformed—tension skyrocketed, lethality maxed out!! His voice answered the earlier question: "Art... IS EXPLOSION!!!!" The manifested apparition—a vicious tiger straddling Two Realms Mountain—opened its maw and unleashed. BOOM!!!! A light beam piercing the heavens struck East Kang Island directly. Instant impact. First came the darkness-rending white flash, then an earth-shaking detonation audible hundreds of kilometers away. KABOOM!!!! A furious mushroom cloud erupted five thousand meters skyward!!! The shockwave rolled outward, making Lu Ding's scholar-warrior sleeves flap wildly!! His laughter rang unrestrained: "HAHAHAHA INCREDIBLE!!!! Now THAT'S satisfaction!!!" On East Kang Island... The first [Tiger Qi Death Beam Cannon] strike had landed dead center, obliterating Park Yong-ho's meticulously prepared formations. The terrifying blast had annihilated countless Qi Refiners on their side. Most critically, the sinister energy dispersed with the shockwave and mushroom cloud, Affecting other Qi Refiners not in the direct blast zone. As the baleful energy invaded their bodies, Some immediately went berserk—vomiting blood, howling, even exploding on the spot!!! Everyone was stunned!! What... WHAT WAS THIS?! Watching his formations get blown to smithereens, Park Yong-ho felt his heart bleed! He roared furiously: "ENEMY ATTACK!!! DEFENSIVE POSITIONS!!!" "Heavenly Perception!! Only a Heavenly Perception expert could unleash such power!! Great Han has no martial honor!! Deploying Heavenly Perception first!!" "Send emergency reports immediately!! Demand our Heavenly Perception experts hold Great Han accountable!!!" Amid his shouts, Park Yong-ho felt both rage and secret delight! Rage because his efforts had been reduced to ashes. Delight because Great Han had lost their minds! Daring to deploy Heavenly Perception now. With their territory so close, Great Han would suffer most if Heavenly Perception combat erupted. The agreement specified Heavenly Perception battles must occur At minimum in international waters, farther out, To avoid harming Great Han's civilians. Otherwise, even if their nations' Heavenly Perception experts didn't target cities directly, The battle's shockwaves would trigger tsunamis and earthquakes—natural disasters threatening Great Han. Park Yong-ho gritted his teeth: "Great Han! You initiated Heavenly Perception combat first!!" He looked up At the distant apparition—the vicious tiger spanning Two Realms Mountain. This exhilaration— How could Lu Ding stop at one shot?! He'd fire until his spiritual energy ran dry!! BOOM!!! BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! Multiple consecutive blasts drained Lu Ding's massive Spiritual Sea reserves. Though the spiritual energy cost was tremendous, the resulting devastation Made it absolutely fucking worth it!! Watching the sky-piercing light beams approach in sequence, Park Yong-ho nearly died from terror. The world flashed repeatedly with blinding white light as mushroom clouds bloomed in succession, shockwaves crashing like tidal waves—one after another! East Kang Island became a fireworks display. A veritable mushroom garden. Formations? Buildings? Useless, completely useless—all reduced to rubble. Enemy forces suffered catastrophic losses instantly. Lu Ding firing madly on his end!!! Enemy Qi Refiners screaming hysterically on the island!!! The contrast couldn't be sharper. Only when his spiritual energy neared depletion did Lu Ding stop. Turning to the camera: "I'm merely a Si Ming realm cultivator of Great Han. Surely that doesn't break any rules?" Hearing Lu Ding's voice, Yan Feifan finally snapped out of his daze. Gulping as he stared at the continuously exploding East Kang Island, he stammered: "B-Brother Lu... E-East Kang Island seems... collapsing." Lu Ding glanced over. Addressing both Yan Feifan and the camera: "My deepest apologies." Then he flashed a regretful expression Perfectly captured on film. Of course, his true regret was not receiving notification of [Special Collector]'s containment. Meaning the target survived. Somewhat expected. This was area bombardment, Not precision strikes. Earth Observation experts weren't that fragile. With decent luck avoiding ground zero, survival was plausible. No rush. Time to return and level up. After upgrading, Lu Ding would hunt him down! After all, this might yield another technique. If the [Tiger Qi Death Beam Cannon] was this devastating, dual-wielding similar weapons And firing indiscriminately— Lu Ding didn't dare imagine how exhilarating that would be. Grabbing Yan Feifan, he made his exit. Meanwhile, Tai Island also heard the echoing explosions. The first blast caused surprise;the ensuing barrage Sent Qiu Fu frantically calling Lu Ding's bodycam. "Lu Ding!! Lu Ding!! Status report!! Respond if receiving!! Respond if receiving!!!" His panic was understandable—these explosions resembled nuclear detonations, yet clearly weren't. Meaning only Heavenly Perception experts could be responsible. He dreaded contemplating further. Fortunately, Lu Ding soon responded: "Here, here. Just set off some firecrackers. Returning now." Fi... FIRECRACKERS?!! You call THAT firecrackers?!?! "Explain exactly what happened!" Qiu Fu demanded. The response came: "Feifan, send the recording to command." Then to Qiu Fu directly: "Commander, expect visitors soon. After reviewing the footage, forward it to them—let them see too." This only deepened Qiu Fu's confusion. Visitors? Footage? Sharing with others? "You—" Before he could inquire, Another Great Han Heavenly Perception expert, Zhao Jian, rushed over: "There you are! Emergency video conference with Tai Island, Wei Gao, Zhenla, Hetu... multiple nations demanding explanations!!" "They might initiate Heavenly Perception combat early!!" Qiu Fu: "WHAT?!" So THAT'S the expected visitors? What the hell did Lu Ding do over there?! His phone chimed—the unedited video arrived. As Qiu Fu walked inside, he tapped to view. . . .
