243: Travel around the world in one hour

Tian Ming was a bit annoyed; now he knew what it meant for a villain to die from talking too much.

This level of Corpse King, just like the female zombie king who possessed the illusory ability back then, could temporarily break free from the constraints of its own abilities.

He had been careless for a moment, but Tian Ming would not let this guy escape, so he chased after it directly.

Locking onto the Corpse King with his senses, Tian Ming activated his illusory ability, and his entire being seemed to merge into the air currents, moving rapidly towards the Corpse King.

The Corpse King's escape speed was extremely fast, but without an arm, it could no longer reach its top speed.

However, Tian Ming's void ability allowed him to move through the air like a fish swimming in water, effortlessly traversing.

Although the Corpse King constantly changed direction, trying to shake off Tian Ming, Tian Ming always kept it firmly locked.

The distance between them was continuously closing, and a cold light flickered in Tian Ming's eyes as a nano-blade instantly formed and shot towards the Corpse King ahead at an extremely high speed.

The Corpse King sensed the danger and let out a roar; at the same time, its body was instantly cut into three sections.

The Corpse King's roar abruptly stopped, and black blood splattered out.

Tian Ming's figure flashed, emerging from his void state, and he coldly looked at the dying Corpse King, without a trace of sympathy on his face.

Zombies that had evolved to this extent were no longer pure zombies.

To say it without exaggeration, these evolved zombies could completely replace humans and become the new masters of the planet.

"It's over," Tian Ming said lightly, and with a wave of his hand, the Corpse King's body was directly crushed by immense pressure.

A Red Crystal Core slowly condensed, and Tian Ming's heart filled with joy.

The previous Red Crystal Core had granted him the illusory ability, and Tian Ming was very much looking forward to this one, wondering what kind of ability it could bring him.

With a gentle beckon of his hand, the Red Crystal Core flew towards Tian Ming.

"Come on, let's see what you can bring me!"

The Red Crystal Core steadily landed in Tian Ming's hand, and he gazed at it with anticipation.

The Red Crystal Core slowly rotated in his hand, like a beating heart, and a vibrant red light surged within it, as hot and energetic as molten lava.

Tian Ming took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and guided the Red Crystal Core for absorption.

The first time he absorbed a Red Crystal Core, he had a splitting headache, but this time it was different.

A very strange sensation spread throughout his body, feeling as if he was about to crack open, but this cracking was not pain, but an itch.

This feeling was not that uncomfortable and was still bearable.

Some residual memories of the Corpse King began to appear in his mind, brought by the Red Crystal Core, mainly memories related to how to use danger perception and speed abilities.

The Corpse King's ability to move at extreme speeds was not a continuous state, but rather the ability to instantly break its body apart and turn into afterimages.

Thirty times the speed of sound was actually an illusion; if it could transform itself into smaller particles, then it could almost instantly move at near light speed.

With the same ability, Tian Ming's usage was completely different.

With just a thought, he felt as if the world before his eyes had stopped in that instant, and everything seemed to have been put on pause.

Tian Ming could almost walk on air, without any air resistance.

From his perception, when moving quickly, the world was paused, but from a third-person perspective, Tian Ming appeared to be teleporting.

Tian Ming was extremely shocked, thinking he was probably one step closer to being a god, and he couldn't help but wonder how fast his speed truly was.

He decided to test it.

Tian Ming opened his hand, and a timer appeared on it.

He hung the timer on a broken lamppost beside the street.

He would press the timer, run to the other end of the street, turn back, and then run back to press the timer again, to see how much time it took.

One round trip was about two thousand meters.

When he pressed the timer after one round trip, the time taken for that round trip was displayed on the screen: approximately two kilometers, which only took 70 milliseconds.

To convert that, one second equals one thousand milliseconds.

Converted, his speed exceeded 120,000 kilometers per hour.

Even if converted to seconds, it was 28.5 kilometers per second; at this speed, it was no wonder he could walk on air, having already surpassed the third cosmic velocity of 16.7 kilometers per second.

With this ability, global support was on call, and he could even deploy a nuclear bomb on the spot and then escape, never again being caught by his own bombs, and shockwaves would be helpless against him.

Invincible, now he was truly invincible.

Over short distances, Tian Ming truly seemed to teleport.

The only limitation of this ability was probably having to have the world map in his head, otherwise, he could easily get lost while running.

Tian Ming excitedly returned to the Lawrence Family base, pushed open the door to his room, and saw Shen Yuan sitting upright in a chair, muttering to herself, not knowing what she was saying.

The moment the door opened, Shen Yuan's expression was a bit flustered, but when she saw it was Tian Ming, the flustered look on her face eased considerably.

"You scared me!"

Tian Ming smiled and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Shen Yuan walked over, looked up at Tian Ming, and asked, "Why are you back so soon?"

"Well, I dealt with that Corpse King and got a Red Crystal Core.

Now I can confirm that Red Crystal Cores can expand my superpowers; now, I can almost achieve instant movement over short distances."

As Tian Ming spoke, his figure instantly vanished, and the next moment he appeared at the other end of the room.

If this ability was combined with etherealization, he could almost achieve appearing and disappearing like a ghost.

Shen Yuan looked surprised and said, "It seems I have to envy you again."

"Just now I saw you talking to yourself in the chair, I don't know what you were saying, what's wrong?"

Shen Yuan smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "I don't know why, but ever since I recovered from my injuries, I've always been able to hear some voices.

And, strange visions suddenly appear before my eyes."

Tian Ming frowned, quickly stepped forward, and grabbed Shen Yuan's hand.

After examining Shen Yuan with his ability, he didn't feel any abnormalities.

"It might be an illusion!" Tian Ming said reassuringly.

"Just now, I tried to talk to the voice in my mind, and she kept saying something intermittently, but I couldn't hear it clearly at all," Shen Yuan said.

Shen Yuan's situation seemed as if an consciousness was also residing in her.

Regarding the consciousness, this question still had to be asked of Xin Xin.

Tian Ming calmed himself down and began to call out to Xin Xin, who was residing in his ear, in his consciousness.

But Xin Xin gave no response.
