Damn, I turned into a monster

Chapter 236-234 The Myriad Forms of the Heavenly Demon
That's how yokai are; after living with them for a long time, you naturally get used to it. Whether you can accept it or not is another matter, but you certainly won't feel uncomfortable at all.

But it doesn't matter. Whether I adapt or not, things are the same now, so there's no point in saying anything.

After six years, no, seven years of training, Wang Wu has now become a first-rank master, a true first-rank master, the real deal, without any exaggeration.

This speed is certainly not considered fast; it can only be described as having decent talent, but it is clearly no match for geniuses like Yin Shenli and Qin Xiang.

Yes, even with such a short time, considering that it has only been a little over ten years since Wang Wu transmigrated here, it still cannot be considered a particularly good talent.

For true geniuses like Yin Shenli, it only took a few years to go from an ordinary person with no strength to a top-tier first-rank expert.

Even if you spend most of your time having fun, yes, even more so than Wang Wu... no, Wang Wu is actually not lazy at all, he is very diligent, extremely diligent.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to reach this level in such a short time, since he only has the aptitude of an ordinary person.

Even if one's aptitude is enhanced after a complete transformation, other ordinary people will also have their aptitude enhanced if they can complete this step.

If everyone gets buffed, it's the same as no one getting buffed, like a buff.

Regardless, Wang Wu's current strength as a first-grade martial artist is undeniable, and it only took him a little over ten years to go from ninth-grade to first-grade.

Although saying this might seem like self-aggrandizement or an attempt to justify myself, it doesn't matter; it's not important.

In conclusion, once Wang Wu's strength reached the first rank, he was qualified to 'show his talent' on the world stage.

To be more precise, it's the qualification to make a name for oneself in this grand cosmic arena.

A first-grade martial artist, traveling at 0.2 times the speed of light, means that Wang Wu's current strength is enough to smash a planet with his physical body.

The entry threshold for a first-grade martial artist is 100,000 Mach, while the critical value for a first-grade martial artist is 200,000 Mach, which is 22 percent of the speed of light.

From the third rank onwards, every step taken is like an insurmountable chasm, or even worse, an insurmountable chasm, because it is far too small.

Compared to the gap between the previous realm and the next realm.

That's an incomparably vast gap.

Even in Master Yin Shenli's hometown on Earth, a first-rank martial artist is considered one of the top experts in human society. Although it may sound like it has little prestige, don't forget that it is 0.22 times the speed of light.

What would happen if you accelerated a baseball to the speed of light?
Wang Wu recalled a topic he saw online back in his hometown: what if a baseball could be accelerated to the speed of light? Of course, it wouldn't be exactly the same speed as light, but rather infinitely close to it.

So, what would happen if a person's body were accelerated to the speed of light?
The answer to this question is quite simple: they can destroy everything simply by virtue of their speed.

Because speed is power, speed is the foundation of the universe's existence, and when speed reaches a certain level, it means that it also controls time to some extent.

Of course, this is a bit of a tangent and not important.

When Wang Wu reached 0.2 times the speed of light, he was only traveling within the atmosphere. Because the speed was so fast, everything else around him seemed to be stationary relative to Wang Wu.

Even air molecules that vibrate back and forth at speeds of thousands of kilometers per hour appear almost motionless compared to Wang Wu's speed.

Of course, Wang Wu's speed is not that exaggerated; he has not yet reached 0.9 times the speed of light. But even so, the world around him is still much slower than him.

According to aerodynamics, under normal circumstances, air will flow over the surface of an object. However, when Wang Wu is flying in the air at his maximum speed, the air molecules in front of him will not have time to avoid him, or rather, they will 'flow over' his surface.

Just like an aircraft that travels too fast and exceeds the speed of sound, it will encounter a barrier called 'sound', and this barrier will cause great damage to the aircraft itself.

The aircraft itself did nothing; it simply pierced the air due to its excessive speed, producing a thunderous roar in the sky and forcefully 'piercing' the air.

This is clearly different from what most people think of air, because in their minds, air shouldn't block anyone.

They even believed that gas was a completely 'nothing' state, and not even a substance.

Of course, people who hold this view are basically those who missed out on the nine years of compulsory education, or those who were so busy rewarding themselves with furnace tubes during their student days that they never even listened to a minute of chemistry or physics class.

Supersonic aircraft alone are enough to cause such a huge impact within the atmosphere.

But what if it were Wang Wu?
Wang Wu travels at 0.22 times the speed of light, or in other words, 22 percent of the speed of light.

The air molecules in front of Wang Wu had no time to 'dodge' him; they would make head-on, hard-hit contact with this 1.8-meter-tall humanoid flying machine. The force of this contact was so great that it could even cause the atomic nuclei of these air molecules to undergo a fusion reaction.

Each collision unleashes tremendous energy, radiating large amounts of gamma rays in all directions, scattering particles in all directions.

Immediately afterwards, these rays and particles will tear apart the molecules in the air, stripping electrons from the atomic nuclei. Wherever Wang Wu passes, all the air will turn into an ever-expanding, incandescent plasma cannon.

Fusion, fusion, fusion. Continuous thermonuclear reactions generate enormous reaction forces, leading to wave after wave of new nuclear fusion.

And what will happen? The answer is quite obvious.

Nuclear explosion.

And not just once, but many times.

A planet is essentially a giant nuclear fusion reactor, and its core burns on this principle, generating a continuous stream of energy through nuclear fusion.

In Wang Wu's hometown, people are relentlessly pursuing nuclear fusion, because the sun overhead is a prime example. If this technology succeeds, it will bring about a new energy revolution, completely transforming human society.

Setting humanity on the path to 'infinite energy' will be the first step humanity needs to take outside its home galaxy.

The immense energy from atomic energy will devour everything around it, and as Wang Wu continues to advance, it will continue to spread until it eventually destroys the entire planet.

And this was merely the flight of a first-rank master.

After flying around the planet's surface, and then gazing at it from space, you'll find that the planet is completely engulfed in flames, transformed into a raging inferno.

And its flame will never be extinguished.

The atmosphere will be completely torn apart, and there will be no life on the planet's surface. The endless fusion reactions will continue to tear apart the planet's continental plates, evaporating large amounts of matter and throwing large amounts of matter into space.

Of course, that alone is not enough to completely destroy a planet; it merely restores a planet to its original state.

However, for a first-rank master, destroying a planet is not a difficult task. In fact, a third-rank martial artist could easily accomplish this without even needing to intervene. A single third-rank finger technique, a long-range one, launched from space, could precisely strike a planet.

It will reach deep into the planet; while it may not completely detonate the planet, the damage it causes will be absolutely terrifying.

From space, you would see a torn land, with an enormous dark red scar on the planet's surface, from which deep red lava gushed, like the planet's blood.

The mantle was detonated, resulting in violent geological movements that swept across the entire planet, triggering a terrifying event even surpassing the magnitude of the Siberian supervolcano eruption.

In Wang Wu's hometown, Earth, the eruption of the Siberian supervolcano was the main cause of the Permian-Triassic mass extinction.

For a third-rank martial artist, this was merely an ordinary attack. It wasn't a casual strike, but it wasn't a full-force effort either.

It was just a basic attack with relatively high attack power.

The eruption of the Siberian supervolcano lasted for millions of years, and a casual strike from a third-rank martial artist could cause damage to the planet far exceeding the level of the Siberian supervolcano eruption.

This is the martial arts of Earth, this is 'high-level martial arts'.

This is the so-called 'Star Collapse' power.

In the past, powerful individuals with this level of destructive power were also known as Shattering Star Martial Saints or Collapsing Star Martial Saints.

However, with the iteration and upgrade of the Earth martial arts version, the privilege that used to belong only to top masters has now been reduced to the level of an ordinary third-grade martial artist.

It can only be said that the upgrade speed of Earth's martial arts is too fast, and the numerical values ​​are increased by too much.

"Now, go and blow this planet up."

In the pitch-black space, it was the first day of the second year after Wang Wu's year-long vacation, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

But today, Wang Wu wasn't at home, indulging in sweet nothings with the girls; instead, he was in the distant, dark, and profound depths of space, practicing target shooting with his master.

Qin Xiang pointed to a dark red planet in the distance. Of course, this was not done by Wang Wu; it was naturally this color.

This planet has been ravaged by a demonic calamity. According to Qin Xiang's scan, the ruins on it are not worth excavating, and it is even more impossible for any living creatures to exist there.

Those demons are certainly not living beings, and there is no possibility of saving them. Even with Earth's technology, the only thing that can be done for these pitiful creatures who have been corrupted for who knows how many years is to give them a quick death.

Demonization is a terrifying state, and it is the first time that Earthlings have ever seen such a state, because it can even corrupt the soul, completely binding the body and soul together, so that they are intertwined.

This is also why people become so 'mad' and 'weird' after being corrupted.

They were still the same people, but they were completely controlled by the sex toys and turned into a living mass of 'flesh'.

That's terrifying, bro. It's really scary and painful.

Of course, people who are so deeply corrupted are not rational and cannot communicate, so Wang Wu did not know how much pain they were in.

He raised his hand, mimicking the standard movements of martial artists in the videos he had watched, and a beam of light shot from his fingertips, instantly traversing hundreds of thousands of kilometers to hit a distant planet.

This beam attack is the most common ranged attack method used by Earth's martial artists, but for the Metal-based Grand Sect, the Extreme Heaven Vajra Sect, it is one of their few ranged attacks.

The Vajra Gate of the Heavenly Realm is renowned for its lack of ranged attack methods, but they do possess an extremely powerful ranged technique called the 'Brahma Bhadrabhāti Finger'.

Also known as the Mara's Demon Finger, it is the most advanced finger technique in the world today, and its destructive power is astonishing, whether in close combat or at range.

The only characteristic of Mara's Heavenly Demon Finger is speed.

The vast majority of finger techniques use long-distance rays that travel at extremely high energy speeds, and the speed is not actually the speed of light; some are even quite slow.

But Mara's Demon Finger is different; it is very fast.

And it's incredibly fast, fast enough to even surpass the speed of light.

It's faster than light, but that's not all it's about.

Although there is another realm beyond the first rank for martial artists, that realm is called T0, also known as 'Overturning Universe Martial Saint', who are the people who truly stand at the top of the martial arts world on Earth.

But martial arts are different. First-grade martial arts are indeed the strongest martial arts on Earth. There are no secret super martial arts above that. First-grade is the very top.

However, the destructive power of a first-grade martial art released by a first-grade master is completely incomparable to the destructive power of a first-grade martial art released by a top-tier master at the level of Fuyu.

"What did you see?"

As Wang Wu's attack struck the distant planet, his master Qin Xiang's voice rang out at the same time.

The sound seemed to come from the past, and also from the future, yet at the same time, it existed in the present.

Although Qin Xiang was only a T0 gatekeeper, his strength is now completely different from before. As Wang Wu's master, he was naturally invited by Wang Wu to come here to have fun and challenge the strong.

With a large number of powerful individuals to challenge, Prime Minister Qin's strength naturally improved by leaps and bounds, advancing by a thousand miles a day, no, by ten thousand miles, or even a hundred thousand miles.

Never mind, whatever number it is, there's a lot anyway.

"I, I, I... Master, I..."

Wang Wu stood there blankly in the void, his eyes flashing with countless images.

He saw many things; at the moment he unleashed the Bo Xun Heavenly Demon Finger, he saw countless people.

Their birth, separation, death, and parting.

It was a fleeting moment, yet at the same time, it was an eternity.

"That is……"

"The myriad forms of the Heavenly Demon".
