Chapter 642: 641. Physically withstand a nuclear explosion
```
"The 'Artificial Sun' device safely controls nuclear fuel with temperatures reaching hundreds of millions of Celsius degrees through 'magnetic confinement' using superconducting magnets, achieving controlled nuclear fusion."
With divine thoughts swift as lightning, and his manipulation skills intricate and subtle, Thunder Tribulation Heavenly Monarch could easily replicate this device.
At that moment, Lu Yao's fingertips sparkled with electric fire, instantly creating a track that could be used as an Electromagnetic Cannon, then with a wave of his hand, he made it dissipate.
"Interesting, I've learned quite a bit. But to advance the Primordial Mirror, it's still far from enough."
Having witnessed the scene of nuclear fusion being constrained and controlled, it was time to see its violent side.
The family left the subterranean experiment site and came to the surface, where they met with Wang Guowei again.
"Mr. Lu, this is our country's most advanced technology for controlled nuclear fusion. Are you satisfied?"
"It's been eye-opening, I believe that in the near future we will be able to create a real 'Artificial Sun' and obtain endless energy sources."
Lu Yao's words were heartfelt. Just a few more technical barriers to overcome, and this pressure cooker-like device might indeed supply humanity with endless energy in the future.
Wang Guowei smiled slightly and said, "I'm glad you're satisfied. Next, concerning the hydrogen bomb, how do you plan to proceed?"
Lu Yao cut to the chase, "I need to use nuclear fusion as a reference for my cultivation. Detonating a hydrogen bomb near me will suffice."
The think tank had already guessed this point, and Wang Guowei was mentally prepared. He immediately replied:
"There happens to be a batch of hydrogen bombs from the Star Alliance Country that need to be destroyed. The site has been prepared, and I'll send the coordinates to your phone right away."
As expected, the phone received coordinates of a spot in the western desert. Lu Yao asked out of curiosity, "Destroying hydrogen bombs from the Star Alliance Country?"
Wang Guowei smiled slightly and said, "Yes. The country can no longer maintain its vast nuclear arsenal. For the sake of global safety, it will be destroyed under the joint supervision of multiple nations."
Lu Yao nodded, thinking that this was poetic justice indeed—without its nuclear weapons, this nefarious nation finally couldn't make it through.
Seeing that Lu Yao was in a fairly good mood, Wang Guowei took the opportunity to say, "Mr. Lu, we will fully cooperate with your request. About the 'Cultivation' you just mentioned..."
Clearly he had his eye on the cultivation methods. Li Pei had already snorted with laughter before he could finish his sentence.
"The law should not be imparted lightly" is common knowledge in Otherworld, where nobody would directly ask for it.
However, in the presence of her husband, she maintained the decorum of a wife, only letting a hint of mockery flash across her face without speaking out.
Lu Yao looked up at the familiar blue sky and white clouds, and said indifferently:
"When governments around the world are capable of dealing with rampant superhuman powers, we can reconsider this matter. In my opinion, you, and indeed all the people of Blue Star, are not yet ready."
No sooner had his voice fallen than the massive body of the Willpower Golden Dragon suddenly appeared in the sky, eliciting exclamations from the entire park!
The family leaped up to land on the dragon's head, and the Golden Dragon roared as it flew toward the northwest.
Wang Guowei was left standing there, dumbfounded, forced to report to his superiors.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The Golden Dragon flew through the sea of clouds, speeding toward its destination.
Yu Yanmei asked, "Lu Xiaozi, since the supernatural is not prominent in this world, why don't you consider imparting your cultivation methods?"
The other three beauties also looked over, equally curious.
This was something Lu Yao had considered a long time ago, and he replied at once:
"The Demon Extinguishing World has adapted to life without supernatural powers. Sudden change might not be a good thing, as human nature can't withstand the test after gaining power."
Li Pei laughed, "It seems my lord holds this world in high regard and doesn't want to see the slightest disorder here."
Lu Yao wrapped his arm around her willowy waist and nodded, "Indeed. Even if I really want to impart the methods, I would be extremely cautious, spending perhaps decades to ensure it's foolproof."
Chatting leisurely, the family unknowingly arrived over a vast desert.
Nothing was there except for the howling wind and endless sand and gravel, completely devoid of moisture, extraordinarily hot.
This desert had been a nuclear testing ground decades ago. Following the coordinates, Lu Yao found a spot with a flag planted in the ground.
There was a huge metal box placed there, bearing radioactive warning symbols and a display screen in its center.
"This is the spot. You all stand 5 kilometers away."
The women were not ordinary, only needing to leave the center of the nuclear explosion.
At that moment, Lu Yao's phone rang. After connecting, Wang Guowei's voice came through:
["Mr. Lu, this is the 10-megaton nuclear bomb you requested, ready to detonate at any moment."]
Facing such a terrifying weapon, Lu Yao remained calm. Seeing that his wives had already positioned themselves beyond 5 kilometers, he calmly said, "Then, detonate it."
["Countdown beginning, please be careful."]
As Wang Guowei's voice faded, a one-minute countdown appeared on the metal box's screen, the numbers slowly ticking down.
At this moment, countless nations' satellites were aimed here.
Detonating a 10-megaton nuclear bomb couldn't be hidden; Xia Country had already notified other nations.
In theory, since Lu Yao could kill the Primordial Ancestor who withstood a nuclear bomb, he should be unafraid of one himself. Yet, many still held a faint hope that it might be useful.
After all, Superman had a different skin color and set of values. To some, this was still a significant threat.
Under the watchful eyes of the world, Lu Yao silently awaited the arrival of the nuclear explosion.
"I've come a long way, from handguns to rifles, then to machine guns and cannons, and now, to bravely face a nuclear bomb. This is also a test of my current cultivation level."
In his thoughts, the countdown reached zero...
In the center, a dazzling light first appeared, outshining even the midday desert sunlight.
A crimson "nuclear fireball" with a diameter of 6 kilometers appeared, rising continuously.
The intense heat instantly vaporized all objects within it, while a massive blast wave spread outward from the center.
Sand and gravel were lifted several kilometers into the sky, like monstrous waves crashing down. The thunderous roar, surpassing 200 decibels, shook the earth and heavens.
In the face of such power, anyone would be struck by terror.
Some dark-minded high-ranking officials of Blue Star even prayed to see Superman killed by the blast.
Lu Yao's wives were also in utter shock, previously thinking this world of mortals somewhat weak, but now they held a new respect for the power of technology and a fresh understanding of all things.
Meanwhile, Lu Yao himself was in the very center of the nuclear explosion, enduring intense heat and terrifying tearing forces.
At this moment, Lu Yao didn't rely on Divine Thought or Magical Treasures, just placing his hands in front of himself.
But from shockwave to high temperature, at a distance from him only a fraction of a hair's breadth, all were blocked by an invisible force, leaving only shallow traces on his body's surface.
This was the "Indestructible Will" of a Martial Saint!
Since stepping into the realm of Martial Saint, the faint golden light on his body had vanished.
His cells still emitted the Indestructible Will, but not in the frantic cries of before, now calmly and naturally as if being "unbreakable and indestructible" was only natural.
With 60 trillion cells in the human body, it was as if 60 trillion devout worshippers were praying in Divine Nation!
The nuclear explosion couldn't penetrate the defenses of "Indestructible Will", and Lu Yao stood unscathed amidst it.
"It's just a crude explosion, its power too unfocused to harm me."
"Still, it was worth seeing the wild side of nuclear fusion."
While the nuclear explosion was still ongoing, Lu Yao had already achieved what he wanted and raised his hand to deliver a punch!
This punch, imbued with the true intent of the Martial Path, might have contained less energy than a nuclear bomb, but it was far more condensed, like a sharp blade cutting through fluff, creating a calm gap in the explosion.
He walked out from it unharmed, his clothes torn but otherwise undamaged.
Simultaneously, Yu Yanmei drew the Longquan Sword from her back and, facing the oncoming explosion, slashed with all her strength, leaving a white crescent slash in its wake.
The blast wave, like a giant wave, cleaved apart, leaving a massive gap, and not even the hem of the ladies' dresses was damaged.
