The one-megaton explosion was enclosed within the barrier created by Davi’s soul force, increasing the explosion’s intensity by a few times yet it still failed to destroy the barrier.
The current explosive force could actually near one gigaton according to his calculations due to it being compressed but it had still failed to destroy the barrier conjured by his elusive Soul Force.
It did not even tremble from the implosion.
From this, Davis could garner that Fifth Stage Body Tempering Cultivators could still stand unscathed after taking a megaton nuclear bomb to their face.
After all, his Sixth Stage Soul Force could compare to a Peak-Level Gold Stage Cultivator’s physical prowess in a sense. After all, he could clad his soul force over his body or conjure weapons in their shape and battle with it physically.
The general and the soldiers had their mouths agape in shock. Their hearts were beating rapidly with trepidation from the magnificent yet destructive sight above them.
Such a sight left them reeling in disbelief as they wondered if they were in the same world, and at the same time, a feeling inferiority welled up over them, just like the ancient times where common people revered the unknown.
If tribal people were to witness this sight, maybe they would start falling on their knees as they kowtow, taking the mini Sun as their Pagan God.
Clara’s expression was a sight to behold as her eyes were wide as saucers, reflecting the beautiful sphere of light. She couldn’t believe that these mortals were in possession of such a weapon that was capable of taking down Fourth Stage Cultivators in an instant.
Mo Mingzhi’s expression was bright as she turned to look at Davis in an outlandish light.
The man she wanted was capable of a feat such as this? She could not fathom at what level she needed to reach in the other world to do the same.
For this first time after leaving her holiday resort, she really thought back to his words about becoming strong; the Empress of an Empire.
Her face flushed red while she clenched her fists and renewed her determination to cultivate after going to the cultivation world rather than the intended plan she had in mind.
Soon, the explosion in the sphere of light gradually settled down in an inward fashion as there was no more expending energy that was released from the source of the explosion.
The sphere of light gradually receded until it became a black spot in the sky. However, it disintegrated in an instant, leaving no trace of an explosion that occurred above their heads.
The soldiers and even the general had dumbfounded expressions on their faces, their bodies shuddering from the silent aftermath.
“Let’s go…” Davis uttered as he moved towards the defensive formation.
Clara and Mo Mingzhi glanced at the soldiers below who were looking at them with awe and a tinge of reverence before turning to follow him into the defensive formation.
“Esteemed Cultivator! I thank you for your magnanimous actions…”
A shout echoed, filled with a tone of gratitude.
Davis suddenly stopped and turned to glance at General Yuan Kong.
His calm gaze measured General Yuan Kong’s expression before he laughed, “If it weren’t for your desperate begging, maybe there would’ve been a massacre today… You people can occupy this place again for a while, but I dare you to act like you people own this place in front of me the next time I come here…”
The general trembled as his face changed and quickly took a step back as he could feel the murderous intent from Davis’s sharp pupils.
Even so, he spoke straightforwardly, “If we did as young cultivator spoke, will young cultivator be able to take people from here to the other side for cultivation?”
Davis went silent. He looked like he was pondering over it as he rasped his head.
“I’ll consider it…”
Davis and the two others flew into the defensive formation.
General Yuan Kong felt his body go numb as the exhaustion in his body reached the peak, but before he could lose consciousness, he saw the people who were held captive thrown out; unscathed.
‘Seems like we met an understanding and a magnanimous cultivator…’
This was the last thought he had before fainting out on the open field.
“General!!”
======
*Bzzz!~*
Light blinded the small space and three figures appeared on a circular diagram. One of the three figures shortly turned dizzy and collapsed to the knee level.
The figure who fell was none other than Mo Mingzhi, and the other two who were currently looking at her kneeling in weakness were none other than Davis and Clara.
Davis mused, ‘A side-effect from space travel?’
But then, when he observed her with his Soul Sense, he found that her mortal cells reacting to the surrounding air in a variable degree as if they were experiencing some change.
‘Oh… Being in contact with heaven and earth energy is changing her cells to be slightly better than of a mortal’s from Earth?’ He considered and assumed that she would no longer easily fall sick as a mortal human after being baptized by heaven and earth energy.
He mused that she should be the same as the mortals in the cultivation world, who were better in physical activities than the mortals in Earth.
He didn’t know about this prior since he essentially took hold of little Davis’s body which had already adapted to the cultivation world.
Mo Mingzhi felt something inexplicable occurring in her body but couldn’t explain or understand what was happening to her.
Slowly but surely, the nausea and weakness from traveling in that dark tunnel left her body and she was able to stand up without wobbling like a clown.
She suddenly felt that it was no easier to breathe, and it was as if her body no longer weighed much as before, substituting the thoughts of that dark scary tunnel from her mind.
She looked at the two who were looking at her with interest as she thought to herself, ‘So this is the wondrous effects of the cultivation world…’
“I wonder where are we heading to?” Mo Mingzhi spoke.
She casually posted a question but received no reply.
Instead, she felt herself float and knew that she was being taken away without being provided any information.
Her lips just curved in response to their silence.
Davis, Clara, and Mo Mingzhi left the cave entrance and flew above towards the exit of the Absolute Death Crevice.
Mo Mingzhi felt her heart getting stuck in her throat when she saw some of the magical beasts looking at them but not daring to attack after getting out of the narrow cave.
She inwardly heaved a sigh of relief as she was able to understand that strength does act as a deterrent towards the weak, just like how the nuclear-powered nations were able to threaten the non-nuclear-powered nations.
Maybe it was just as she expected, purely unbiased, strong rules the weak world, a world without any forms of watering down the truth.
‘There is probably no concept of equality in this place…’ Mo Mingzhi inwardly laughed to herself and looked towards Davis who was flying in front of her as her eyes flashed, ‘I wonder how strong he is in this world, or at least this region?’
Her gaze landed on Davis’s figure. Her facial expression revealed nervousness, however, it was also filled with excitement for the future that she thought she would experience with him.
