Siheyuan: At the beginning, I can integrate everything!

Hundreds of Golden Core cultivators rode their swords through the air, exuding a murderous aura.

The immense spiritual pressure that gathered together, as heavy as a physical force, caused the low-level cultivators in the market below to cough up blood and collapse to the ground.

"Unidentified flying artifact, land immediately for inspection!"

The golden-armored commander's roar, amplified by spiritual energy, resounded like thunder across the sky above Qingyun City.

The Wuling Hongguang was surrounded in the very center.

inside the car.

Chen Bing gripped the electromagnetic gun tightly, his palms sweating profusely.

"Huaimin, this is quite a large-scale operation, hundreds of flying immortals. When will our electromagnetic cannons be ready to fire?"

"Moreover, I sense an extremely terrifying aura rapidly approaching."

Although Chen Bing had no spiritual power, his special forces intuition made him sense a deadly threat.

Zhang Huaimin didn't say anything. He finished the last bite of the apple, then elegantly wiped his mouth with a tissue.

"Brother Chen, please open the door."

Zhang Huaimin said it casually.

The car door slowly opened.

Zhang Huaimin was wearing a set of Earthly casual clothes that seemed extremely strange to cultivators.

With his hands in his pockets, he walked out of the Wuling Hongguang at a leisurely pace.

He stood on the roof of the car and looked around at the densely packed flying swords and cultivators in the sky.

His eyes were calm and undisturbed.

Just then.

"boom!"

A terrifying pressure, far exceeding that of the Golden Core stage and as overwhelming as Mount Tai, suddenly descended!

The clouds in the sky were forcibly torn apart by this oppressive force.

A middle-aged man dressed in a purple-gold robe and wearing a purple-gold crown stepped out from the void with his hands behind his back.

With each step he took, visible ripples spread across the space beneath his feet.

Li Potian, the city lord of Qingyun City and a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

"Greetings, Lord City Lord!"

Hundreds of Golden Core guards knelt on one knee on the flying sword in unison, their voices deafening.

Li Potian ignored the guards.

His deep, unfathomable eyes were fixed on Zhang Huaimin, who was standing on the roof of the car, and the silver Wuling Hongguang.

"A magical artifact with no spiritual energy fluctuations could shatter a Grade 3 Crimson Flame Furnace with a single blow."

Li Potian's voice was deep and resonant, carrying an undeniable air of authority befitting a superior.

"Who are you? Why are you causing trouble in my Qingyun City?"

"Hand over the magical artifact beneath your feet, surrender, and come with me to the city lord's mansion for investigation. Perhaps then I might spare your life."

In Li Potian's view.

Although the young man in front of them was strange, there was indeed no spiritual energy fluctuation on his body.

That attack just now must have been aided by the power of this peculiar magical artifact.

Once he seizes the magic weapon, these mortal ants will be at his mercy.

Zhang Huaimin listened to Li Potian's condescending pronouncement.

I couldn't help but sigh softly.

"I originally wanted to interact with you as a mortal, keeping a low profile and experiencing the customs and culture of this cultivation world."

Zhang Huaimin shook his head, his tone tinged with helplessness and mockery.

"What I got in return was your estrangement and endless fault-finding."

He slowly raised his head, and a chilling, dark blue light suddenly flashed in his originally dark eyes.

"I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean."

Zhang Huaimin extended his right hand, palm facing up.

"Since you all enjoy playing with fire so much, then I'll show you what real 'fire magic' is."

The voice just fell.

Zhang Huaimin issued the order in his mind with extreme decisiveness.

"system!"

"Extract the 'Microscopic Nuclear Fusion Constraint Matrix'!"

"Integrating the 'Basic Fire Spell Energy Model'!"

[Ding! Analyzing the structure of fire-type spiritual energy in the cultivation world... Analysis successful!]

[Importing formulas for controlled nuclear fusion physics...]

[WARNING! This fusion has an extremely high energy density. Host, please carefully control your output equivalent!]

[Fusion complete!]

Om-!

Accompanied by a system notification sound.

A tiny point of light suddenly appeared above Zhang Huaimin's slowly outstretched right palm.

At first, the light spot was only the size of a soybean.

But at the very moment it appeared.

The air above Qingyun City, which was originally filled with rich spiritual energy, seemed to have been instantly sucked out!

All cultivators, including Li Potian, who was in the Nascent Soul stage.

They could all feel the spiritual energy around them moving in a frenzied and irreversible manner.

The light collapsed and converged towards the point of light in Zhang Huaimin's palm!

"What kind of fire magic is this? How come even spiritual energy is ignited?!"

Li Potian's expression changed slightly. He sensed a destructive aura emanating from that point of light that made his very soul tremble.

After absorbing a massive amount of spiritual energy, the light spot began to expand rapidly.

The size of a billiard ball...

Apple size...

Ultimately, it stopped at the size of an adult's fist.

But that's enough.

It was a fireball that was an extremely pure, even somewhat dazzling, deep blue!

There were no raging flames, no sparks flying everywhere.

It floated quietly in Zhang Huaimin's palm, its surface swirling with an extremely complex, almost tangible, plasma network.

This is not some strange fire from the cultivation world at all!

This is a miniature controlled nuclear fusion reactor that is constrained by the system using spiritual energy as an outer shell, and is undergoing extremely violent operation inside at a temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees!

This is a real "miniature sun" that is in the hands of humankind!

boom--!!!

Although the fireball was only the size of a fist.

But the moment it took shape, it emitted a terrifying light and heat.

In an instant, it illuminated the entire Qingyun City!

The light was so dazzling, it was tens of thousands of times brighter than the midday sun!

The hundreds of Golden Core stage guards in the sky were instantly stung and teared up when the bright light hit them, and they all screamed and closed their eyes.

Even more frightening is the temperature.

Even with the system's magnetic field constraint, the tiny wisps of heat that escaped...

This caused the temperature in the entire Qingyun City Square to soar to a suffocating level within just a few seconds!

The ground below, paved with bluestone slabs, even began to show signs of melting, turning into dark red lava!

"Click...click..."

A crisp sound, like shattering glass, rang out over Qingyun City.

Li Potian raised his head in alarm.

He saw the protective array that had guarded Qingyun City for thousands of years.

That pale golden defensive shield was powerful enough to withstand a full-force attack from a Nascent Soul stage expert.

now.

It was actually illuminated by the light emitted by this fist-sized fireball.

It began to emit mournful cries of unbearable burden.

Huge cracks spread rapidly across the light shield like a spider web!

How is that possible!

What kind of flame is that?!

How could flames possibly melt the rules of an array?!

"Gulp."

Li Potian swallowed hard, his throat feeling dry as if it were on fire.

His once dignified and proud face was now covered with large beads of sweat.

The sweat was instantly evaporated by the terrifying heat as soon as it appeared.

He looked at Zhang Huaimin, who stood on the roof of the car, holding the "miniature sun" in one hand, as if a god had descended to earth.

An indescribable, extreme fear gripped his heart like a cold, icy hand.

This is no ordinary person!

This is clearly an unparalleled immortal who can crush stars with a flick of his wrist!

He actually tried to force this immortal to hand over his magic weapon, and even shamelessly said he would leave him with a whole corpse?

"S-senpai..."

Li Potian's legs went weak, and he couldn't even circulate the true energy he needed to maintain his flight.

He fell with a "thump".

In a very disheveled state, he fell from mid-air into the void.

He knelt heavily on the melting bluestone floor, his hands supporting him on the ground, trembling.

"Senior, spare my life! This junior was blind and dared to offend the divine presence of a true immortal!"

"Please, senior, stop your supernatural powers! Qingyun City... Qingyun City is about to melt!"

With the city lord kneeling.

The hundreds of Golden Core Guards in the sky, blinded by the bright light and nearly dehydrated by the intense heat.

Like dumplings being dropped into a pot, they all fell from mid-air.

They all knelt on the ground in unison, crying and begging for mercy.

At this moment.

What dignity of cultivators, what majesty of the city lord's mansion?

Before this nuclear fusion fireball, representing the ultimate violent aesthetics of human physics.

They were all burned to ashes!

Just as Zhang Huaimin was about to put away this "miniature sun" and end the shock of this dimensional reduction attack.

On the other side of the sky.

A white streak of light pierced the sky and rushed to the scene.

It was none other than Su Qinghan, the Holy Maiden of the Tai Xuan Holy Land.

She had come to investigate after hearing the commotion of the city lord's guards and thinking that a powerful demon cultivator was causing trouble.

however.

She landed at the edge of the square.

She saw clearly the silver metal box that she had thrown into the servants' compartment as if it were just ordinary trash.

When I saw clearly the young man standing on the roof of the car, holding up a fireball that was a thousand times more terrifying than the sun with one hand.

Su Qinghan's beautiful eyes, which were always cold and expressionless.

My eyes widened instantly.

Her stunningly beautiful face was filled with extreme shock and disbelief; she was completely stunned.
