Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Whether it was in the past, the present, or the future, the sun would never change.

This was what everyone assumed.

However, in an instant, they saw a slice of the sun suddenly jump out.

Such a change was beyond everyone’s imagination.

Next, they discovered that it wasn’t the sun, but a huge intense light and flame which spread from a point to their whole field of view in an instant.

Even with the mask, they still felt that their eyes were stinging slightly.

The skin not covered by the coat could feel the heat that came from afar.

This was followed by a huge roar that seemed to split Heaven and Earth. For a moment, no other sounds could be heard.

This was accompanied by shockwaves at their feet.

It could be said that Heaven and Earth were shaking.

The turbulent air in the distance brought along thick dust that spread in all directions from the center of the explosion.

Pillars of flames rose up in the sky and spread out in the air like a towering inferno.

No one on site was able to utter any words as they had lost the ability to talk. Blood drained from their faces as they looked at this scene.

Even Li Fu’s fingers were trembling slightly.

And even he felt small when faced with such a devastating and earth-shattering scene.

Li Yuanzhu’s cool demeanor was shattered by this terrifying scene, and she looked incredulous.

Up and down the mountain, everyone stood dumbfounded and felt the power of the waves that reached them from so far away.

The ground was shaking and the wind was howling, but they couldn’t hear or see anything besides the fireball.

Li Fu, Li Yuanzhu, Ma Hongyu, Lin Dong, Xu Gongsou, Priest Bai Yun, and Blood River Demon… All of them were famous top experts and well respected by everyone.

Seeing the devastating scene in the distant sky, everyone was stunned and trembling from the bottom of their heart.

This… What in the world was this?

It was like an angry deity was trying to destroy the world. What was this?

Qin Chuan, Tong Zhenye, Zhuo Yan, Feng Hou, and Lian Liang… These aboriginal experts looked in astonishment at the distant scene. Was this the thing that Zhao Prince Consort wanted them to see?

This seemed familiar since Zhao Prince Consort had also set off a bomb during his last duel.

That explosion was considered to be powerful by the spectators, but compared to this, it was nothing.

It was like comparing a firefly to the sun.

At that time, it was a show of force against a Spirit Wheel expert, but this seemed powerful enough to blow up the world.

Tong Lan’s small body was wrapped up tightly, and the shaking Earth caused the stones around her to jump about. The turbulent wind was also blowing at her, but she didn’t feel it at all.

The delicate little face behind the mask appeared to be in a daze.

The rest of the students were also in the same state.

Although Ren Baqian had always brought them new knowledge, this demonstration was simply terrifying and seemed beyond the power of humans.

This was just…

After racking her brain for a long time, the whole thing was still beyond her comprehension.

There was only one question in her mind, Would their studies eventually lead to this outcome?

The upheaval between Heaven and Earth lasted for a few minutes and finally transformed into a mushroom cloud. This made them realize the reality of this scene.

There were thousands of people on the mountain, yet there was absolute silence.

Nobody moved and no one talked; all the people seemed to be half-frozen.

Ren Baqian looked at the distant scene and sighed. This explosion was art.

If it wasn’t considered art, then the explosive power wasn’t enough.

470 kilotons of TNT equivalent was already so powerful. 4.7 megatons, 47 megatons, or even 470 megatons… What would that be like?

No creatures could survive under such explosive power!

Of course, one has to be able to hit the other party.

When he turned to look at the surroundings, everyone seemed as if they had been petrified after looking at Medusa and stayed rooted in their positions.

Aside from Ren Baqian, the empress was the quickest to recover as he had frightened her with this thing before.

“I have finally seen it!” The empress couldn’t help but sigh. Back then, she could already sense the destructive power when she saw it on television.

After viewing it at close range, she discovered that it felt 100 times more powerful than what she had seen on the television.

The crowd finally managed to recover their senses, but the mushroom cloud reminded them of that devastating scene just now, causing fear to seep into their brains again.

“What was that… just now?” someone asked as he swallowed his saliva.

This voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough to wake the surrounding people.

Everyone turned their heads to the location where Ren Baqian had been, but the space was empty.

Ren Baqian and the empress had disappeared.

The crowd turned and saw the two of them in their original sitting positions, leaning against each other.

Li Fu was silent, but his eyes were filled with shock.

Li Yuanzhu was barely able to maintain her composure, but couldn’t hide the horror in her eyes.

Ma Hongyu loosened the thick pen from his waist, Xi Gongsou unclenched his fist, and the body of the Old Ghost from the Blood River Demon turned slightly red like a tide coming in and then receded.

Xu Jiaojiao’s face looked drained, and she was trembling slightly.

“Everyone, please be seated.” Ren Baqian was sipping boiled water that had been cooled down in a cup.

This time, no one had any objections.

They were preoccupied with what they saw before their eyes.

“What was that just now?” Elongating Spear Gao Yi had a face that looked like a sculpture, and his eyes were still filled with shock.

“It’s the big treasure!” Ren Baqian sighed. “I have told you before that I wanted to show you the big treasure!”

Ren Baqian frowned, contorted his face, and turned to look at the empress as he clenched his teeth.

“This is painful. Can you do it more gently?” he pleaded.

“Is this your doing?” Lin Dong raised his eyebrows. He seemed to be the calmest among these people.

“Who else?” Ren Baqian retorted.

The crowd fell silent again.

The scene they experienced just now was simply too traumatic.

They couldn’t believe that Ren Baqian was responsible for this show.

Ren Baqian looked at the silent crowd and knew that he had to strike while the iron was hot.

He smiled, picked up the walkie-talkie, and ordered, “Bring the other small treasure up here.”

“What is the meaning of this?” It wasn’t that the crowd couldn’t understand Ren Baqian. Subconsciously, they understood him, but they simply couldn’t bring themselves to believe him. They were surprised that he still had another one.

The crowd, who had just recovered their senses, found it incredible that this thing was simply thrown on the floor to let them see it.

They knew that this thing had the power to destroy a city or even a nation.

Even if this was thrown at the capital of Great Xia, it was guaranteed that no tiles would remain intact.

Ren Baqian tricked them into coming here and then used this thing just to frighten them. How was this possible?

It could be said that this thing wasn’t precious or that it wasn’t precious to him.

Or maybe he was planning something even bigger.

In that case, how many of these things did he have?

What was he really up to?
