Chapter 132: Star-Breaking Realm

Heaven-Destroying Type I Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. This was the latest crystallization of Dragonic alchemy and human natural science, boasting a maximum speed of up to Mach 35 and a constant speed of Mach 25.

Generally speaking, an intercontinental ballistic missile of this caliber would be armed with nothing more than thermonuclear or hydrogen warheads, but at this very moment, strapped to this missile were two ultimate weapons far more absurd than those devices.

Liu Tian, wielding fifteen hundred thousand hp of Magnetic Rotation power alongside the Seventh Tier of the Ultimate Realm!

Lu Mingfei, wielding thirty-five thousand hp of Current Drive, the Spiritual Word command over elements, and the Fourth Tier of the Ultimate Realm!

Whichever of these two individuals were to unleash their power unchecked, the destruction they could cause would far, far surpass that of nuclear warheads.

As the strongest among them, Liu Tian stood...

At the exact same instant that Angell broke through to the realm of Magnetic Rotation, Liu Tian, standing atop the state-of-the-art Heaven-Destroying Type I ICBM, suddenly felt a sensation.

It was the feeling of the Heavenly Lock being broken by someone other than himself.

The difficulty of making progress had suddenly dropped by more than a hundredfold; even with the severe restrictions of the heavens and earth, someone had forcefully pushed through? From that direction?

Was it Chiltbert Jean Angell? What had he done?

Liu Tian frowned, feeling that his power was no longer sufficient to suppress everything—but it did not matter!

When it came to the speed of progress, not even Master Heavenly Dao or Senior Brother Secondary Man could catch up to me. Let me make a breakthrough right here in the midst of battle.

Before that, however, he had to ask Lu Mingfei, who was clinging tightly to the missile, a question.

"You felt it too, didn't you? The Heavenly Lock of Magnetic Rotation has been forcefully shattered by someone; at least up to twenty-five hundred thousand hp, there are no longer any barriers. I don't know who managed it, but this time can no longer be considered a mere journey. I cannot guarantee I will be able to look after you—and you might not even be able to intervene in this battle. You can let go now."

Liu Tian's willpower-laden electromagnetic waves blasted directly into Lu Mingfei's mind. In an environment where even the air seemed to have transformed into solid razor blades, mere speech was no longer sufficient to convey meaning.

There was no reply, nor did Lu Mingfei let go.

Lu Mingfei allowed the solidified blades of air to slice open his skin, only for the wounds to instantly heal under his regenerative powers. Stimulated by the pain, his accumulated foundation continuously materialized, and the power of his Current Drive steadily climbed.

Have it your way, then!

Seeing that Lu Mingfei was unwavering, Liu Tian did not press the issue. With a flick of his consciousness, he summoned the [Effort] interface, gazing at his reserve of 305 Origin Points and the upgradeable text that had quietly lit up beside the Heavenly Martial Art following the breaking of the Heavenly Lock.

Heh! I suppose I'm reaping the benefits of someone else paving the way—damn it, walking a path that's already been trodden is so much easier than blazing one yourself.

Effort, add points for me! Today, I shall achieve Star-Breaking!

His consciousness gently brushed against the entry for the Heavenly Martial Art. Two hundred Origin Points vanished in an instant, and a boundless wave of heat surged from the depths of his soul. His cells were reinforced, and the marks of cultivation were deeply engraved into every fiber of his body and soul. In a trance, Liu Tian felt as though he had spent fifty years in arduous training, finally elevating the Heavenly Martial Art step by step to—twenty-five hundred thousand hp, the Star-Breaking realm.

Heavenly Martial Art Level 14. Effects: Comprehensive physical enhancement (Level 14), Self-Mastery (Level 14).

Magnetic Rotation · 250,000 hp Effects: Basic control of subatomic particles, enhanced vitality, vitality absorption, mind reading, mastery over electromagnetic waves. Un-upgradeable, un-mergeable.

With the upgrade of the Heavenly Martial Art, a brand-new effect emerged, but Liu Tian paid it no mind, lost in a single thought—where is my natal star?

Damn it, I was told that reaching twenty-five hundred thousand hp would allow me to break the stars and shatter the grasp of destiny! Could it be that such a thing only exists in the Tiger Shark world? Or is it—that I simply do not possess a natal star?

Of course, Liu Tian did not believe he was unworthy of the Star-Breaking realm.

Are you kidding me? If the first person to reach twenty-five hundred thousand hp couldn't break the stars, then nobody else stood a chance.

It seemed either natal stars exclusively existed within the universe of *Sea Tiger*, or else he, as a transmigrator, simply had no natal star to speak of.

Liu Tian thought silently to himself, but there was no longer any time to verify it.

In less than half an hour, the Heaven-Destroying Type I missile had crossed a distance of fifteen thousand kilometers, arriving directly above Cassell College.

The altitude of several thousand kilometers could not prevent Liu Tian from spotting that madman who had become, in the truest sense, the first person to break through the realm of Magnetic Rotation. A smile could not be suppressed from the corners of his lips—at last, an opponent strong enough!

Come on, let us battle!

With a single thought, he flung Lu Mingfei downward. A few seconds later, Liu Tian gave a light kick, sending the intercontinental ballistic missile curving upward into the sky, while he himself plummeted from the heavens carrying boundless kinetic energy.

A radiance akin to the sun blossomed in the high altitude!

Originally, this was meant to be Liu Tian's firework display to proclaim his might, but now—it would serve quite well as the prelude to war!

The air shrieked! The atmosphere wailed!

A white shockwave in the sky, resembling a sharp sword, pierced fiercely toward the earth.

............

It's here!

Angell raised his head. Having reached the absolute peak of his life's power, he effortlessly perceived the unmasked presence of Liu Tian.

At this stage, Angell's perception was sharp enough to instantly detect everything within a radius of dozens of kilometers. Yet ever since Liu Tian's arrival, he found himself unable to cast his perception anywhere else; his attention was tightly and inescapably drawn to the man falling from the sky.

Angell's expression remained unchanged. He knew this was because Liu Tian's presence was overwhelmingly intense, eclipsing everything else like a blazing sun and locking the crisis-instincts of his warrior's intuition so that he could not look away.

At this moment, Liu Tian felt like the only true reality in this world, while all else was mere illusion—like bubbles waiting to be popped at a touch, utterly devoid of presence or any need for attention.

Well come! Come on!

Only with this kind of power—only with this kind of power—could it be worthy of the strength I traded for by personally sacrificing everything and shattering the entire world I spent a hundred years building!

"Ahahahaha! Ahahahaha!" His wild laughter erupted with infinite, overwhelming might. Angell slowly straightened his posture, and with a single motion, the entire earth beneath him suddenly caved inward. A monstrous aura burst forth like a raging sea of blood, condensing into a tangible physical force that violently collided with the descending figure.

Well come!

Without striking a physical blow, a duplicate of Liu Tian suddenly materialized outside his body, instantly transforming into a giant roc whose wings spread wide to directly cleave through the towering sea of blood.

Then, Liu Tian clenched his fist, drawing his arm back like a notched bow before unleashing a ferocious punch. The extreme speed whipped up a hurricane, and the intense friction wrapped his hand in a layer of roaring flames, crashing directly into the giant shark emerging from the deepest depths of the blood sea!

Boom!

With a single collision, a spherical shockwave rippled outward in an unstoppable manner. Lu Mingfei, having just reached the very edge of the battlefield, barely managed to cross his arms before his chest. A mouthful of blood spewed from his lips, and he was sent blasting away without the slightest capacity for resistance.
