Chapter 510: Wen Rui often hangs out in Guanghan Palace, but his target is not Chang'e
"ten"
"Nine"
"Eight"
……
Wen Rui's emotionless countdown voice rang out in the formation, and it seemed a bit muffled in the environment filled with sea water.
The Arhat who had ridiculed Wen Rui before closed his mouth unconsciously, with warning signs in his heart. He vaguely guessed that the end of the countdown would be the time when the great magical power that Wen Rui threatened them to release would be activated.
"three"
"two"
"One"
When the countdown ended, the monks' hearts were hanging in the air at the highest point. After a moment of silence, a strong light engulfed everything.
A small sun suddenly appeared on the Lion Camel Ridge. The Arhat Subduing Demon Formation was like a glass container filled with flames. The Vajra Shield confined the explosion to a space of one hundred miles in diameter, withstanding all the shock waves of the explosion.
But the heat radiation shone through the Vajra Shield, just like a red-hot steel ball falling on a snow pile, the soil and rocks on the ground quickly vaporized, the evaporated steam gushed out in all directions, causing a violent explosion.
But the power of this explosion was incomparable to that of a hydrogen bomb explosion, and it soon subsided as the matter close to the formation evaporated.
Above the earth, a huge pit with a diameter of more than 200 miles suddenly appeared around the diamond shield suspended in the air. The high-temperature magma was still burning towards the bottom layer, and the area of the boiling magma lake was constantly expanding.
Wen Rui generally does not use nuclear weapons. This kind of weapon of mass destruction is generally ineffective against high-level cultivators, but it is too lethal to ordinary living beings. It can easily hurt innocent people, create endless evil karma, and damage merits.
The main reason for releasing the hydrogen bomb this time was that the 800-li Lion Camel Ridge had long been devastated by the destruction of human beings and the extinction of birds and beasts, like an uninhabited area in the Gobi Desert.
Wouldn’t this become a natural nuclear weapons testing site?
In a corner of the Demon-Suppressing Array, a silver metal ball wrapped Wen Rui tightly. Layers of extremely strong interaction force materials protected Wen Rui inside.
This material is strong enough to withstand the shock wave of a nuclear bomb, but it cannot prevent the high temperature of tens of millions of degrees from being transmitted to the inside of the sphere.
In order to avoid being cooked by the high temperature, Wen Rui summoned the Shadow of the Underworld to fill the interior of the sphere, freezing himself directly and neutralizing the burning temperature transmitted through the outer shell.
Because the nuclear explosion was confined within the formation, the huge amount of energy had nowhere to be released, the explosion lasted for a long time, the high-temperature fireball at the core lasted for a long time, and the kinetic energy of the shock wave continued to accumulate and rebound inside the formation, frequently impacting back and forth.
By using these two kinds of black technology, Wen Rui was able to build a shelter at the farthest point fifty miles away from the atomic bomb to protect himself.
The flames in the formation burned for half an hour without any fuel before gradually weakening. Even so, the formation still emitted a high-temperature red light. The sea water, soil, and rocks that were previously wrapped in the formation had already mixed together and turned into a ball of high-temperature ionic magma. This ball of magma maintained a high temperature of thousands of degrees and could only transfer heat to the outside world in the form of thermal radiation. It was unknown how long it would take to cool down.
The five hundred Arhats spent the longest half hour in the Buddha's life. Everything they experienced was countless times more terrifying than falling into the scorching hell. When the first flash of light broke out, half of the Arhats whose Vajra Dharmakaya was not yet perfect were roasted on the spot. They only managed to survive by relying on the Green Tara Heart Mantra blessed by the formation and the super self-healing power given by the Medicine Buddha's initiation mantra.
As the high temperature continued, their bodies repeatedly switched between raw and cooked. A large amount of Buddha's power and faith and vows were constantly consumed in the process. The repeated physical torture also made the Arhats live a life worse than death.
After achieving the status of Arhat, they went into battle frequently and were protected by the strongest defensive formation in the Three Realms. The Arhats had not suffered such suffering for many years. They finally endured the temperature in the formation until it became bearable and their golden bodies were not roasted, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the formation withstood the full power of the hydrogen bomb explosion. The energy released by the equivalent of 50 million tons was offset by the formation at the cost of a huge loss of Buddha's power.
The silver metal ball where Wen Rui was hiding opened an observation porthole, erected several antennas, and received observation data from external reconnaissance drones and satellites.
According to the data displayed by the retinal projection, in order to offset the Buddha's power and vows consumed by the nuclear explosion energy within half an hour, at least five hundred temples would need to accumulate a hundred years of incense.
This means that all the incense burned in the Buddhist temples throughout the world that enshrine Arhat Hall over the past hundred years has been burned in vain.
At present, Western religions have not yet flourished in Jambu Continent, and the total number of Buddhist temples in Xiniuhe Continent may be less than 500. Therefore, Wen Rui calculated that this explosion consumed the accumulated power of the Arhats over thousands of years, and their remaining power of faith and will was obviously no longer sufficient.
Judging from the images sent back by the high-altitude reconnaissance drone, the array's shield once again appeared dim, cracked, and shaky, but Wen Rui was unable to tell from the appearance whether this was a disguised collapse or a real collapse.
"I admit that I underestimated the defensive power of the Arhat Subduing Demon Formation."
Wen Rui's voice sounded again, but because the sound transmission medium in the current formation is molten ionic high-temperature material porridge, his voice sounded very sharp, a bit like the voice of a talking chipmunk, which sounded a bit funny.
But the five hundred Arhats who heard these words did not find them funny at all. Instead, they felt a sense of terror.
"I don't know the status of the Demon Subduing Formation. Is it about to collapse, or is it pretending to be weak so that I can continue to consume my immortal energy and use my great magical power to attack."
"But it doesn't matter. I can use the great magical power just now without consumption and unlimited times. If one bomb can't explode, then I can use two, three, ten thousand..."
"Over the years, a large amount of lunar soil has been dug up on the moon. Chang'e protested several times, but I gave her hundreds of new feather clothes to appease her...
"That's off topic. Anyway, the deuterium and tritium raw materials extracted are enough for me to make hydrogen bombs. At worst, I can string together 10,000 hydrogen bombs to make the earth red, just for fun!"
"I said the same thing. Why risk your life for hundreds of scriptures in a month? Now you can release the formation and let me go. There is still room for relaxation. This round I will detonate two bombs at the same time. If you can still hold on, the next round will be four, eight, and sixteen. The number will increase exponentially."
……
The eyes of the four hundred and ninety-nine Arhats were all focused on Venerable Arahant Kāśyapa, who was at the center of the formation, waiting for him to make a decision whether to fight or retreat.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Venerable Aruo Kaundinya said in a resolute tone: "The power of the fire-type divine power just now is close to the full force of the Primordial Golden Immortal. He is just a mortal who has been deified by merit, which is equivalent to a celestial immortal who has achieved enlightenment through self-cultivation, and he is still the lowest level among the celestial immortals. He is bluffing us. It is impossible for him to perform it continuously without consumption."
"I think he must have used the magic weapon or top-level magic talisman bestowed on him by his elders. This level of magic talisman is extremely precious and rare. We should not be frightened by his few words. We should keep our faith and use up all his magic talismans. Then we will surely win!"
