Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 177 The Nuclear Dragon
The examination room is on the third floor.

Shen Qiong's face was pale, he spat out blood, and his body involuntarily knelt on the ground, which was a sign that his divine consciousness had been severely damaged.

'That was close!' Shen Qiong's eyes were filled with undisguised fear.

That power was terrifying, like a strike from a Golden Core cultivator!
Fortunately, he was decisive enough to choose to end his own life when his magic power dissipated and his skin carbonized and peeled off; otherwise, he might have perished in the Divine Void Realm.

"call!"

Shen Qiong exhaled a breath of stale air, shook his head, and forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart.

As a member of the Fengyuan Shen family, he can lose, but he cannot be afraid.

Shen Qiong forced himself to stay awake and looked around. He found that all the other candidates in the same examination room had been eliminated, and he was the last one to wake up.

'No, that's not right, there's still one person who hasn't been eliminated yet!'

Shen Qiong's eyes narrowed as he looked at the examinee in the distance, whose sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes exuded an air of grandeur. It was none other than Chen Beiwu, whose eyes were tightly closed.

Having memorized Chen Beiwu's physical characteristics, Shen Qiong left the examination room at the instruction of the Immortal Alliance staff.

……

Bixiao Immortal Sect.

The monitoring room of the Divine Void Realm.

Jiang Chuan looked at the "little sun" on the screen and smiled with great interest.

"Jiang Zhenjun, premature detonation of the three-phase bomb will severely degrade the environment of Ugly Ape Star, eliminating the vast majority of examinees. Should we intervene?"

Pei Heng looked at Jiang Chuan with respect, even though the Nascent Soul True Monarch in front of him was just a divine thought clone that had been separated, and not the real body that had descended.

"No need," Jiang Chuan smiled slightly.

The examinees from the Sword Abyss Immortal Sect, the Heavenly Flame Immortal Sect, and the Great Luo Immortal Sect were making too much noise.

One unruly candidate even manipulated all the high-ranking members of the Ugly Ape Star, leveling the entire surface of the planet Ugly Ape to eliminate all competitors and earn the "Top Grade" rating.

Compared to these troublesome candidates from other immortal sects, the candidates from the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect were quite well-behaved and required no intervention.

With this in mind, Jiang Chuan gave Shen Qiong a "B-level" evaluation for the retest.

This little guy is a promising talent. If he hadn't acted too conspicuously and been designated as the number one target by the Ugly Ape Clan, he might have had a chance to escape the core coverage area of ​​the three-phase missile.

The Golden Core cultivators present understood each other implicitly, and out of respect for Feng Yuan and the Shen family, they unanimously gave Shen Qiong a grade of B.

There was no other way; if the candidates chose to end their own lives, their evaluation in the re-examination would drop significantly. They had already given the Shen family enough face.

Only Zhao Wuchen and Pei Heng watched Chen Beiwu on the screen with great interest.

While the thermonuclear weapon of Ugly Ape Star is powerful, forming a sun with a diameter of about 3 kilometers and a temperature of over 1 million degrees Celsius after detonation, it has a fatal weakness.

If a cultivator at the Qi Refining Limit can react before the nuclear bomb explodes, escape the absolute lethal zone, and use magic to burrow four or five hundred meters underground in advance, there is a high probability that they will survive.

Conversely, if a cultivator is unlucky and gets too close to the lethal zone, even if they escape underground, they may still die from the earthquake caused by the nuclear shockwave.

As for not escaping or dodging, and taking the full force of a triple-phase missile? Don't be ridiculous!
Without the protection of talismans, magical artifacts, formations, or other external objects, let alone a Qi Refining cultivator, even a Foundation Establishment peak cultivator would be severely injured and die the first time they faced the Three-Phase Bullet.

Only a Golden Core cultivator who has condensed immortal golden essence can dodge without damage and take the triple-phase bullet head-on.

If Chen Beiwu acts prudently and prepares in advance by hiding deep underground, he might have a chance to escape the core impact of the three-phase bomb and obtain a rating of Grade A or higher.

……

Silei City Base Control Center.

A dead silence.

After killing all the ugly apes, Chen Beiwu turned to leave.

"Run away."

Before leaving the base, Chen Beiwu kindly offered a word of advice.

With the military base fallen, the Ugly Ape Clan will definitely take action.

His fearlessness doesn't mean that two Qi Refining Level 9 cultivators can also be fearless.

Upon hearing this, Gu Tie and Ji Gang exchanged a glance, but neither of them uttered a sound.

A Foundation Establishment at nineteen—this level of genius is definitely not someone they can afford to offend. Even though the other party destroyed the military base, causing their plan to infiltrate the Ugly Ape clan's upper echelons to fail and preventing them from gaining a higher evaluation, Gu Tie and Ji Gang dared not utter a word of criticism.

But the resentment in their hearts could never be dispelled.

'Good advice is useless against a damned devil.'

Chen Beiwu shook his head, took the golden egg, and activated the Soaring Waves and Stepping on the Void to quickly leave the place.

No matter how fast Chen Beiwu increased his speed, he could still feel a chilling sense of crisis, as if it were a persistent, malignant tumor following him.

Is it locked?

Chen Beiwu raised his head, gazing at the azure sky, pushing his divine sense to its limit.

At that moment, he "saw" the nuclear warhead hurtling towards him, about to detonate.

will die!

He will definitely die!

At the critical moment of life and death, Chen Beiwu had a sudden inspiration and unleashed all the potential within him.

He stepped on the Kan trigram, each step bringing rain and waves, instantly shifting a distance of hundreds of feet. This was the mark of reaching the perfect state of "riding the waves and stepping on the void".

But Chen Beiwu felt no joy; he had only one thought in his mind.

No, this is not enough.

He needs to be faster!

The liquid mana in Chen Beiwu's dantian instantly dissolved, transforming into a continuous stream of powerful mana that propelled him to leap across the void, taking five steps in a row and covering a distance of five hundred feet in one breath.

After the relocation ended, Chen Beiwu coughed up blood, his face was pale, and his body could hardly withstand the continuous relocation in a short period of time.

Even so, Chen Beiwu barely escaped the absolute lethal zone of the nuclear bomb.

"boom!"

As the three-phase bomb exploded, the fireball expanded and burst forth. At that moment, the sun rose with a roar, bringing absolute destruction to all things.

Is this the end?

Watching the sun rise up close, Chen Beiwu felt a sense of helplessness.

In just 0.6 seconds, the rapidly expanding fireball will vaporize him, reducing him to nothingness.

This is a power that a Qi Refining cultivator simply cannot resist!

Just as Chen Beiwu was about to commit suicide and end his Divine Void Realm trial ahead of schedule, the thought of the golden egg suddenly came to his mind.

"Gulu!"

The golden egg's eyes gleamed with determination, and its body expanded and grew at a visible speed.

It wants to transform into a dragon!
Anyone who dares to stop Chen Beiwu from entering the Thirteen Immortal Sects is preventing him from transforming into a dragon.

It's just a tiny little sun.

If it were in the core eruption area of ​​this small sun, the golden egg would not hesitate to run away with its master and immediately withdraw from the Divine Void Realm assessment.

Here, although Golden Egg sensed an indescribable crisis, he was somewhat confident in his ability to withstand it.

'Then it's up to you.'

Chen Beiwu smiled with satisfaction as he let the golden egg swallow him.

Even that coward Jin Dan was confident he could survive a nuclear bomb, so as a beast tamer, he naturally wouldn't be so cowardly as to commit suicide and withdraw from the assessment.

"Roar!"

Sensing the immense magical power transmitted through the Covenant, the golden egg's scales shone with golden light, and in conjunction with its own bloodline, it pushed the third-tier mid-grade treasure technique, the Golden Body, to its limit.

"Boom!"

As a deafening roar resounded, the terrifyingly high temperature and overpressure shockwave unleashed a devastating aftershock, flattening all buildings as if the end of the world had arrived.

At the instant the sun evaporates the earth's surface, a barely perceptible golden ray stands out, like a nuclear dragon.
