254: Chapter 254 Explosion!!!

"The divine rod has not yet been activated; you need to press the buttons on it."

"It is best to press all five buttons at the same instant; only then can its maximum power be unleashed."

Lu Zheng said with a hint of apology on his face. Although Gong Zhizhuan was somewhat dissatisfied, he didn't pay it much mind; he just glanced over and saw the five buttons.

These five buttons were designed in recessed areas, seemingly to prevent accidental activation.

"Fine, I understand."

Gong Zhizhuan said, immediately taking action, pressing all five buttons in an instant.

"Beep..."

Suddenly, the five divine rods emitted a beep-beep-beep sound. Gong Zhizhuan felt somewhat impatient with this noise.

"What's next?" Gong Zhizhuan looked at Lu Zheng.

"Sit cross-legged!"

"Wait for me to operate the divine rod and initiate the Divine Power ritual!"

Lu Zheng hurriedly shouted, sitting cross-legged on the ground. Suddenly, a brilliant Divine Power radiance erupted from his body. Seeing this, Gong Zhizhuan followed suit, sitting cross-legged in the center of the five divine rods.

For a moment, Gong Zhizhuan felt a sense of anticipation.

Divine Power, here he comes!!!

Suddenly, the surroundings fell into silence.

Even the monsters remaining in this Mysterious Space stopped their movements, as if anticipating what was about to happen.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

The sound continued, and Lu Zheng was counting down silently in his heart.

"Three..."

"Two..."

"One..."

When he reached one, Lu Zheng had already made mental contact with the spirit tool time tower.

"This is the moment, enter!"

With a roar in his heart, Lu Zheng vanished from the Mysterious Space once again. This was Lu Zheng's backup plan—not the System, but the spirit tool.

He already knew the function of the spirit tool time tower; as long as he hid inside it, he could avoid the moment of the hydrogen nuclear bomb explosion.

He couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret in his heart; he hadn't yet seen the scene of five hydrogen nuclear bombs exploding simultaneously. It must be spectacular and magnificent.

What a pity, what a pity.

This scene could only be left for Gong Zhizhuan to witness.

The moment Lu Zheng vanished, the incomplete time tower appeared in the spot where he had been, falling to the ground.

At that very instant, Gong Zhizhuan sensed it. He abruptly opened his eyes; Lu Zheng had vanished, and a small tower had appeared.

"A spirit tool?!"

Anger and confusion welled up in his heart.

How could Lu Zheng leave right under his nose?

Damn it!

Lu Zheng, I, Gong Zhizhuan, will never let you go!

But before Gong Zhizhuan could make any move, the countdown of the five divine rods around him had ended. In an instant, before Gong Zhizhuan knew what was happening, he felt a sensation of extreme pain wash over him.

The terrifyingly intense temperature and destructive power instantly stripped Gong Zhizhuan of all consciousness.

In this Mysterious Space, a brilliant ball of light appeared, growing larger and more intense, sweeping outwards as if to shatter the entire space.

Everything around it was annihilated.

Buildings, the earth, monsters...

They all ceased to exist within this ball of light.

However, there was an exception; the incomplete time tower remained safe and sound within the terrifying ball of light, as if the power of the hydrogen nuclear bomb explosion was nothing to fear for it.

"Bang!" A shattering sound rang out; the Mysterious Space immediately began to fall apart, and the sky cracked open directly.

The space could not withstand the power of the five hydrogen nuclear bombs exploding simultaneously.

It shattered directly.

After the Mysterious Space shattered, Lu Zheng had already learned from Song Yongnian and Gong Zhizhuan that all creatures inside would fall into Jianghai City.

But now, in the entire Mysterious Space, all the monsters had been annihilated.

The only living thing was a corpse that seemed to have turned into charred remains.

At this moment, the motionless spirit tool time tower seemed to sense something was wrong and began to quickly escape this space that was about to be annihilated.

It erupted with powerful energy, smashing through a certain boundary, and appeared above Jianghai City.

Through the crack that the time tower had smashed open, the aftermath of the five nuclear bombs exploding also reached Jianghai City. In an instant, a ball of light suddenly illuminated the sky above the entire Jianghai City.

The night in Jianghai City became as bright as day under that ball of light.

A terrifying shockwave swept outwards.

The sound was like a thunderclap...

No, even more terrifying than a thunderclap...

However, the spatial crack quickly vanished, and the ball of light slowly faded. Fortunately, this spatial crack appeared high above Jianghai City, so it did not cause much impact on the city itself.

It was just a lot of thunder but little rain.

Bang!

The charred body fell heavily from above Jianghai City, slamming hard into the ground without the slightest movement.

On the other side, the spirit tool time tower seemed to have used up most of its power after smashing through the spatial crack, and it was directly blown away by the aftermath of the nuclear explosion.

It was unknown where it had been blown to.

And now, Lu Zheng was still hiding inside the time tower.

For a moment, aside from what had just happened, Jianghai City once again fell into a deserted silence.

No one knew what had happened here.

No one knew that a Mysterious Space had just shattered above Jianghai City.

However, the anomaly in Jianghai City just now could not be hidden; it was as bright as day, and it seemed that even those hundreds or thousands of miles away could see it.

The citizens of Jianghai City who had already fled far away were mostly fast asleep.

But they were awakened by the blinding light.

They looked blankly at the dazzling ball of light on the horizon, their minds in a daze for a moment, not knowing what had happened. Was that the sun?

But many of the Evolvers from Jianghai City, upon seeing that blinding ball of light, stood frozen in place, tears in their eyes.

They were even trembling all over.

Chang Yingwei stared fixedly in that direction; he knew that was Jianghai City...

That ball of light...

Immediately following this, a terrifying gust of wind struck, carrying a powerful shockwave, but because the distance was too great, it did not cause any harm.

At this moment, everyone realized what this actually was.

"A nuclear bomb..."

"This is... a nuclear bomb has been detonated."

In the convoy, a man muttered, his mind completely blank.

The location where the nuclear bomb was detonated was none other than their Jianghai City...

"Lu Zheng..."

Chang Yingwei cried out in pain, his voice hoarse. His heart skipped a beat. Those nuclear bombs were ones he had personally handed to Lu Zheng.

They were only to be used at the final critical moment.

That meant...

"No!" Chang Yingwei roared unwillingly.

In the convoy, his sister, Lu Wen, after seeing that brilliant ball of light, seemed to realize something. Tears streamed down her face as she covered her mouth tightly.

"Little brother... little brother..."
