Ever since he had entered the second transition, Fang Xingjian's control over his physical body had gotten increasingly stronger. This was especially so after he had successively condensed specialty seeds, stimulated physical particles, and gained an extremely strong regenerative ability. His control over his physical body had reached an unprecedented pinnacle.
Right now, by forcefully stopping his heartbeat and breathing, he was extremely close to death.
And in the face of death, Fang Xingjian could only feel one thing...
Endless emptiness...
'Is death emptiness?
'There's nothing... Eternal darkness... Eternal loneliness...
'There's nothing... In fact... Even... consciousness... is... '
Just as his consciousness started to dissipate, streams of sword intents suddenly shot out. Fang Xingjian's physical body was close to death, but he forced himself to stay awake by relying on the toughness of his martial will.
This feeling was like a person who had run for one million kilometers and yet was still forcing himself to continue running.
It was impossible for a person to run for one million kilometers, and it was even more impossible to continue running after running for one million kilometers.
Right now, Fang Xingjian was relying on his unbelievably tough sword intents to maintain his consciousness despite the fact that his heartbeat had stopped, his breathing had stopped, and his physical body was on the verge of death.
"I … I absolutely cannot die …."
'I want to seek revenge. I want Li Shuanghua to kneel down and admit her wrongs.
'I want to find out about my mother. I want to understand what on earth is going on.
'I still want... to attain the Divine level... I want to see the greater heights of sword arts.
'I must not die! '
Accompanied by the tug-of-war between death and consciousness, Fang Xingjian's sword intents started to grow at an unbelievable rate. He was using death to force himself to become stronger.
As Fang Xingjian's sword intents continued to grow, the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent that had been hidden in his body all this while also started to tremble. This sword intent, which had been created by an unknown Divine level expert, seemed to finally be about to unleash its true powers when faced with Fang Xingjian's increasingly stronger cultivation.
Just as Fang Xingjian was immersed in the depths of death and comprehending it, he was using the terror of life and death to temper his martial will so that he could attain further breakthroughs...
Li Shuanghua's side was also constantly moving.
The first thing he did was to shrink all of the overseas laboratories and then withdraw all of the Fang Clan's cash, freezing up the Fang Clan's cash flow. Fang Yuehe was extremely busy, and the Fang Clan's operations had almost come to a complete standstill.
If this was just to let the Fang family members re-recognize Li Shuanghua's control over the Fang family, then what Li Shuanghua did next was to threaten them with force.
At the end of February 2037, a giant mushroom cloud rose in the desert northwest of Xin.
The blazing light almost illuminated the sky within a radius of several hundred kilometers. Chaotic electromagnetic waves filled the sky above the entire Earth, announcing the release of mankind's most powerful force.
In the center of the mushroom cloud, within the Death Domain where light and heat interweaved, a figure stepped out.
In the launch site several tens of kilometers away, the Thunder Monarch's brows were tightly knitted together. Beside him, an adjutant exclaimed, "She's out! She's out!"
"She actually withstood a 50-megaton warhead!"
"Hurry up and check her physical condition. Where's the rescue team? Hurry up and go up! "
"No, the temperature is too high. I can't go up at all."
"The magnetic field is in a mess. Our detectors have all failed."
"She seems to be coming over!"
"There's an object approaching at high speed!"
At the next moment, the ground that was ten meters thick above the launch site was torn apart, and Li Shuanghua, who was charred black, appeared in the sky. However, upon closer inspection, one would discover that her hair, skin, muscles, and other parts of her body were all regrowing. She seemed to have become younger and more delicate.
Looking at the terrified crowd, Li Shuanghua said calmly, "Get me a coat."
The Thunder Monarch looked at Li Shuanghua with a grim countenance and said, "You've attained a breakthrough?"
Li Shuanghua said calmly, "From today onward, I'm the strongest on Earth."
When she said this, her tone was calm, but it was as if it was a matter of course. It was as if she was saying something common sense.
However, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
'Thankfully, I managed to get in contact with the First Prince half a year ago. Fang Qian has also sent over the Ancient Path of Hell's research information.
'Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to successfully imitate a Knight's power and achieve the final breakthrough.'
The Green Robed magic prints faction was most proficient in imitating and integrating all abilities.
The Thunder Monarch's countenance turned even more grim, but he was unable to say anything.
Nuclear weapons had always been mankind's ultimate weapons. Even Divine level experts had never had a record of going up against nuclear weapons head-on.
Right now, Li Shuanghua had attained another breakthrough in her cultivation. To think that she was able to use her physical strength to go up against a nuclear weapon with a yield of 50 megatons. This meant that there were no longer any weapons on Earth that could harm her.
If Fang Xingjian's previous performance had made everyone want to kill him by all means possible, slaying this Retired Emperor who had been suppressing them, then the power that Li Shuanghua displayed now made the Federation's upper echelon feel helpless. They were like gods who could not summon any will to resist.
The difference between an Retired Emperor and a god was naturally huge.
Within a few days, the news of Li Shuanghua going up against a nuclear weapon with a yield of 50 megatons with her physical body spread out.
The various influences were in an uproar, and a large number of Fang Clan's members once again sought refuge with Li Shuanghua. Countless countries and influences expressed their goodwill towards Li Shuanghua.
Li Shuanghua's limelight immediately overshadowed that of the remaining four Divine level experts and Fang Xingjian. There were even some busybodies who suggested that Li Shuanghua was now the number one in the world.
As the date of the duel drew closer, Li Shuanghua's reputation grew increasingly great. Later on, she paid a visit to several tens of great clans and organizations on Earth. With her terrifying physical strength, she connected all these great influences together and almost became the leader of the five Divine level experts.
She then received an audience with Xin Country's President and White Eagle Country's President. Her reputation was so great that she was like the sun in the sky, almost becoming a legend.
In the entire Federation, her words were practically of enormous weight.
The title of number one in the world spread like wildfire. On the other hand, Fang Yuehe was only left with a few people. Even Fang Xingjian had gone missing for many days, with no traces of him to be found.
…
On the day of the duel.
Fang Yuehe had just gotten off the plane when he sensed the omnipresent gazes looking at him. He lifted his head and saw that the entire airport was filled with people. This duel had attracted too many people's gazes, and as Fang Yuehe was on Fang Xingjian's side, he was the target of countless people's gazes.
However, most of these gazes were filled with mockery, mockery, pity, and gloating.
Ever since the news of Li Shuanghua's participation in the nuclear bomb experiment spread out, Fang Yuehe had gradually gotten used to such gazes. That very night, his hair had even turned white, and his gaze no longer had the confidence and arrogance he had in the past. There was only an endless sense of loss, not knowing what he should do next.
