Nuclear Explosion

"Auntie, where is Pengzu?" Yu Xian summoned Auntie Number Two and asked straight away. Nowadays, he didn't need to overthink at all. Even if he activated Super Brain, the answer he would get was still: *Hurry and use your super cheat.* Indeed. Auntie Number Two was currently his greatest cheat code. Why rack his brains with deduction and contemplation when asking Auntie Number Two directly was so much faster? Auntie Number Two answered, "Pengzu, real name Peng Zuen, is currently located on Fengsuo Island." Fengsuo Island? That didn't sound like a place name on Earth. Yu Xian simply opened his Star Ring to check, confirming that no place called Fengsuo Island existed on Earth, nor was there any such location in Crescent Bay. "Auntie, where is Fengsuo Island?" Left with no other choice, Yu Xian had to ask. Auntie Number Two replied, "Fengsuo Island is located in the western archipelago of the Death Calamity Sea, ranked number 404." "The Death Calamity Sea? What a coincidence," Yu Xian said in mild surprise upon hearing that. Just days ago he had gone to the Death Calamity Sea; who would have thought Pengzu was there as well? Talk about fate. Yu Xian went on to ask, "Do these aberrant worms have anything to do with Peng Zuen?" "They do. Peng Zuen is in the middle of creating even more powerful perfect creatures, so he requires stronger aberrant worms as raw material," Auntie Number Two replied. Yu Xian nodded. He had essentially grasped the ins and outs of the whole affair. Simply put, this fellow Peng Zuen had refused to give up over the years, yearning to create an even stronger, even more flawless perfect creature. Regrettably for him, no one on Earth dared risk offending Yu Xian by collaborating with Peng Zuen anymore. Left with no alternative, Peng Zuen could only venture into the Abyss in search of opportunity. Evidently, his luck over these years hadn't been half bad. At least he hadn't perished in the Abyss, and he had actually managed to engineer stronger aberrant worms. As for the aberrant worms here in Wenjia Country, leaving them to the Aberrant Worm Hunter would suffice. After some thought, Yu Xian decided to cut off the snake's head. He would take a trip to the Death Calamity Sea and eliminate the chief culprit, Peng Zuen, first. Yu Xian turned around and returned to the outside of the barrier, saying to Zhang Shou and Gong Qian, "This matter is inextricably linked to Pengzu. I'm going to take him out and resolve the root of the problem first." "All right, be careful," Zhang Shou nodded. He knew full well that Yu Xian's power had grown to a degree beyond his imagination, so he didn't offer any empty words about tagging along. "I'm off," Yu Xian said with a smile, nodding. However, he didn't plan to head straight to the Death Calamity Sea. Instead, he prepared to head back to the God Vault Space first to fetch Little Nora, Little Huangquan, and the others. It was the perfect chance to take a sightseeing trip together, while looking into the incident of Feng Laixian peeing blood along the way. Feng Laixian was a treasure trove from head to toe. The treasures in his storage rings hadn't even all been cleared out yet, and he was sure to possess plenty more good stuff on him. Perhaps this time more treasures would pop out again; joining in on the fun was definitely the right call. ... The Death Calamity Sea, Fengsuo Island. Peng Zuen sat cross-legged atop a boulder, currently cultivating. Around him stood six perfect creatures. All six were masterpieces he had meticulously cultivated and were now under the control of his split soul, effectively serving as his avatars. However, the potential of these avatars was limited. God rank was already their ceiling; reaching Star Rank was practically impossible. Therefore, he needed to cultivate even stronger perfect creatures as avatars. As luck would have it, Fengsuo Island was home to an insect known as the Pegasus wasp, which possessed off-the-charts combat prowess. When fighting in swarms, even God-rank experts were forced to keep their distance. For the past five years, he had lurked on this island, using aberrant worms to gradually take control of the island's Pegasus wasps. With Pegasus wasps as raw material, the aberrant worms bred from them were not only far stronger, but their tips also possessed the properties of wasp stingers, boasting top-tier armor-piercing capabilities. In the past, when faced with transcendent creatures like iron-armored explosive bears or earth mammoths, aberrant worms couldn't do a thing even if the beasts stood completely still. Now, however, they could easily pierce their hides and commandeer their bodies. With this upgraded version of aberrant worms, the next step of his plan was naturally to seize more genes and cultivate new perfect creatures. "Hmm?" Suddenly, Peng Zuen felt a jolt of palpitations as an indescribable sensation welled up in his heart. Opening his eyes, he scanned his surroundings, yet detected no source of danger. He then pinched his fingers to divine the situation, but still couldn't make sense of what had triggered the premonition. *Could the aberrant worms deployed to Earth have blown up in my face again?* Peng Zuen brooded secretly. His insistence on deploying aberrant worms to Earth stemmed from a very simple reason: revenge. Ever since Yu Xian became a Star-rank powerhouse, numerous allies on Earth had turned their backs on him on the spot. Fortunately, he had always met those allies using avatars and disguises, which had kept him from being slaughtered by those bastards. Yet right now, he truly didn't dare set foot back on Earth. For one, he feared Yu Xian; for another, he feared running into people from his past and getting reported. Therefore, as a courtesy in kind, he directly released the upgraded aberrant worms into the countries where those allies resided, showing them that while they might fear Yu Xian, did that mean they didn't need to fear him? "Time to go. Safety comes first; I have to keep on the move lately and can't stop." Peng Zuen knew very well that if an enemy managed to lock onto his position, the only solution was mobility. As long as he remained continuously in motion, it would be difficult for the other party to catch him. Unless his pursuer could not only lock onto his position but also foresee the future to pinpoint where he would move next, catching him? Absolutely out of the question! He rose from the boulder and leapt down to the ground. The six perfect creatures immediately stepped forward, their bodies peeling open like suits of armor to encase him within. A second creature opened up, enclosing the first within its body, layering over him six times in total before morphing into a giant bird that soared straight into the sky. A perfect creature's greatest strength lay in biological shapeshifting; so long as it was controllable, it could accomplish almost any task. Peng Zuen had been able to reach the Death Calamity Sea alive entirely thanks to the abilities of his perfect creatures. Even so, fourteen of his perfect creature avatars had perished before he made it through unharmed. "I've heard that the golden waters at the center of the Death Calamity Sea turned crimson. Let's go take a look." After a moment's thought, Peng Zuen promptly made up his mind. The giant bird swiftly flew toward the center of the Death Calamity Sea. However, after flying for a short while, he suddenly wheeled around and returned to Fengsuo Island. Only after laying several traps and nuclear warheads did he depart once more. If an Earthling truly managed to track him down and come to Fengsuo Island, how could he not leave them a little welcoming gift? Half an hour slipped by in a flash. A bus rolled out from spatial ripples, pulling to a steady halt on Fengsuo Island. Yu Xian, Little Nora, Little Huangquan, Xiao Sensen, Zhang Buyao, Nora, and Niman had all come along. Originally, Yu Xian had only intended to bring Little Nora and Little Huangquan out for some fun, but it so happened that Zhang Buyao was mooching food and drink over at Little Nora's place and decided to join the outing as well. Niman, Nora, and Xiao Sensen were all watching livestreams, so in the end, everyone tagged along together. "Charge, Little Nora!" Xiao Sensen shouted at the top of his lungs, perched atop Little Nora's head. Little Nora excitedly dashed out of the bus, only to trip over a rock right beneath the vehicle. Xiao Sensen tumbled from her head all the way across the ground, rolling right up in front of a nuclear warhead. "Huh?" Xiao Sensen rubbed his head, turned around, and saw the nuclear warhead glowing. *Boom!* Detecting a living organism's aura entering the blast radius, the nuclear detonation mechanism triggered every single warhead. In an instant, mushroom clouds rose across the entire island, bathing Yu Xian and everyone else in blinding white light.
