Xuantian 1: Ancient Xuandongtian

Chapter 216 Cambrian Eighteen
Fire Scorpion Cave, Quzhi Fifteen.

"There is a 5.6-foot-long snake ahead. Let's make a plan and proceed step by step."

The leading cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm said.

“I must emphasize that the snake’s attack speed is not very fast, and generally everyone can dodge it if they are careful.

But remember one thing, this third-level snake beast has a move called "shaking its head and tail", which is basically a fatal move!

Be sure to remember!
Remember!

Remember!

Important things should be said three times! "

He added.

“Is it really that powerful???” asked a cultivator who had reached the perfect level of Ling Yuan.

"Of course!"

Li, a cultivator in the Condensation Realm, affirmed and added: "This tail flick can produce a sonic boom, which is around the speed of sound."

Another cultivator in the Condensation Spirit Realm said, "Brother Li, what you said is correct. Let me add something. The tail swing radius is 3.2 meters, and the tail swing range is ∠150 degrees. 1 to 89 degrees is the acceleration state, and 90 to 120 degrees is the peak speed of kinetic energy generation, which is supersonic. When you hear the sonic boom, you are probably cut off in the middle. The kinetic energy weakens after 120 degrees."

"It's so powerful, is it a rattlesnake?"

The cultivator surnamed Li shook his head and said, "When a rattlesnake is at the first stage, it can produce a sonic boom, but this one is not. This move shakes its head and tail. If a cultivator at the high level of the Condensation Spirit Realm is hit by it, he will be seriously injured if not killed."

"Ah this?"

"But you don't have to worry too much. It usually has a prelude. For example, if it wants to swing its tail to the left, it must first shake its head to the right to accumulate kinetic energy, and then suddenly shake its head to the left to transfer the kinetic energy to the back half of its body. At the same time, the snake's waist exerts force to complete this action."

Another cultivator in the Condensation Spirit Realm explained.

"Okay, okay."

The cultivators in Lingyuan Realm responded one after another.

The hunt started quickly and everything went well.

Under the continuous attack of formations, talismans, magic weapons, and spiritual arts, this third-stage mid-stage monster was already covered with wounds and its spiritual power was weakened.

Suddenly, the snake's head tilted to the left, about forty-five degrees.

"Be careful to dodge, it's going to shake its head and tail!!"

A cultivator from the Lingyuan realm gave a reminder.

So the cultivators in Lingyuan Realm hurriedly hid to one side, that is, the right side.

Mu Hanchan originally wanted to hide together, but when he saw the snake beast shaking its head, he hesitated.

"Brother Mu! What are you waiting for? Get away! It will be too late!"

The cultivator in the Condensation Realm reminded.

Mu Hanchan stared at the snake beast without answering. The green dragon and phoenix patterned spear in his hand loosened slightly and then clenched again due to nervousness.

suddenly!

The snake beast moved.

The snake's head suddenly swung to the left quickly, exceeding the initial position of ∠75 degrees, plus the ∠45 degrees swung to the left first, a total of ∠120 degrees.

Then it swung its tail at a high speed, and a series of explosive sounds were heard. A group of Lingyuan realm cultivators were directly hit by its tail, and the blood dance exploded directly, followed by flying limbs. There was also a head with a neck and part of the shoulders that bounced through the cave wall and flew to the side of Mu Hanchan, at his feet.

Mu Hanchan's face was serious, but he watched everything calmly.

Because of his correct judgment, he dodged the attack perfectly.

"Oops!"

"This beast actually faked a shot!"

The two monks in the Nascent Soul Realm were sweating profusely as they attacked the monster with great effort, and they were still terrified by what they saw.

Six Lingyuan realm cultivators died at once, and the remaining one or two were sweating profusely. One of them had his ears injured by the sonic boom, and a small amount of blood oozed from his ears. The other was in a daze, and both of them had lost their combat effectiveness.

"Dragon Spear!"

Mu Hanchan finally made his real move. A long spear with black gas wrapped around the tip flew out of his hand and hit the snake beast's vital point with incredible precision, piercing through its scales and into its body.

"Oh!"

The snake beast arrived in response, and the hunt came to an abrupt end.

"this…?"

"this!"

The two Soul Condensation Realm monks looked at each other, unable to accept it for a moment.

Mu Hanchan's forehead was slightly sweaty. Without saying a word, he immediately sat down to meditate and rest, and held up the Dark Spirit Shield.

Upon seeing this, the cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm did not disturb them and began to quickly clean up the spoils. He dissected the snake beast, took out its inner elixir, cut off its core, removed the good scales, pulled out the seven-inch green dragon and phoenix patterned spear, and cleaned it with pure spiritual water.

But when he pulled it out and cleaned it, he took a few more glances at Mu Hanchan's green dragon and phoenix patterned gun.

After doing all this, I found that Mu Hanchan was still meditating.

I couldn't help but complain: "Does it take so long to recover spiritual power?"

"That's hard to say. It depends mainly on the strength of your spiritual power."

Suddenly, the ground shook, rocks above the cave cracked and fell, and cracks of varying sizes began to appear on the bottom.

"what's the situation?"

"Is this, a major earthquake...?"

"It really is!" The main fluctuation continued for more than ten breaths, and the cave where Mu Hanchan was located was already filled with rubble.

Mu Hanchan was still holding up the black spiritual shield. The rubble was bounced off when it hit it, until it was full. The rubble was also sticking to the black light shield and did not touch his body.

An hour later, the two Nascent Soul Realm monks finally cleared the rubble and escaped successfully. They took a look at the snake beast, which was smashed into a bloody mess.

"Where's Brother Mu?"

"Buried in rubble."

"Is he okay?"

"It should be fine. I think his black light shield is very powerful. It can even bounce back thousands of pounds of gravel."

"He can't get out of this predicament by himself. His realm is too low. Let's help him quickly."

"it is good."

So the two of them chatted while clearing the rubble: "Was there an earthquake just now?"

"Yes, Brother Li."

"You are an earth-attributed cultivator. How strong do you think the earthquake was?"

"Level 10 and above."

"How specific?"

So the other person touched the ground with his hand, closed his eyes and felt the residual seismic energy, and said: "10.2 to 10.7."

"Where is the source of the earthquake?"

The other party thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be on the Zhengdao Continent, otherwise we would all be doomed. This cave is not seriously damaged, so the earthquake source should be far away, probably in Sanzhong Ocean."

He added: "But we are fine. The west coast is going to be in trouble. There will definitely be a tsunami!"

"Hey, it's okay. The West Coast has long been prepared for this kind of thing. I heard that if it's not an earthquake of magnitude 12 or above, it shouldn't cause a devastating impact."

The monk surnamed Li said.

The other party frowned and asked, "Brother Li, do you not have a specific understanding of the magnitude of the earthquake?"

"Ah? I'm not an earth cultivator, so I'm not sure."

"The magnitude difference is two times, and the energy difference is nearly 1000 times! If there really is a 12-magnitude earthquake, everyone below the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Pill Realm will die.

Even for a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of the Spiritual Pill Realm, it is difficult for him to survive. He may even have to drain out his spiritual power and use up the spiritual energy in his elixir sea in order to survive.

And you will know.”

"what?"

The monk surnamed Li was shocked.

"Because a magnitude 12 earthquake is not just one or two waves, or dozens or hundreds of waves, it is tens of thousands of waves of overwhelming energy, continuous and endless."

"Can you earth-attributed monks withstand a high-level earthquake?"

The other party shook his head and said, "It depends on your cultivation level. With my cultivation level, I can just withstand a magnitude 10 earthquake. I just absorbed a lot of energy, but a magnitude 11 earthquake won't work. I will be exploded directly."

As they dug, they found the bloody bodies of two Lingyuan realm monks.

"Oh, it seems that luck cannot favor a person twice." The monk named Li sighed.

"Yes, they both happened to avoid the fatal blow of the snake beast, but they could not avoid the rubble caused by the cave collapse caused by the earthquake."

"Do you think this little brother Mu is still alive?"

The other party shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, the probability is not high, but it is possible.

I saw from the corner of my eye that the black light shield on his body could deflect the heavy rocks."

"But he doesn't have that much spiritual power to keep the light shield going. If his spiritual power runs out, won't he still be smashed into a bloody mess?"

"Yes."

"How does his black light shield compare to your earth armor?"

The monk surnamed Li asked.

"Better than mine. If I had his level of cultivation, I would have died immediately after a few boulders fell on me."

The other party replied.

The two continued to rescue Mu Hanchan and chatted, "What is the highest magnitude of earthquake that you earth attribute cultivators know of?"

"Level 16."

The other party replied, "One day a great master in the Earthly Profound Realm of our sect calculated that the highest earthquake that has occurred in the past million years was a magnitude 13 earthquake. A million years ago in the prehistoric era, there was a magnitude 14 earthquake. Later, he discovered that tens of millions of years ago or even longer ago, there was a magnitude 16 earthquake, which should be the main cause of the formation of the four continents.

But those were all measured after he reached the Grand Void Realm."

In fact, a magnitude 14 earthquake can shake the foundations of the continent and cause the plates to move significantly but slowly.

What the earth-attributed monk said was correct, but what he didn’t know was that an 18th magnitude earthquake had once occurred on this planet.

It was in the distant Cambrian period, and four-source mixing occurred.

There are also water ions that combine and collapse.

The former directly changed the spiritual structure of the planet, while the latter directly led to the formation of drowning.

Drowning is something that only twelfth-level monks can experience.

Four sources: hydrogen H, oxygen O, carbon C, and nitrogen N.

The protagonist's Qiankun Huayuan Hand can specifically refine these four main elements, as well as most relatively stable elements. (Briefly mentioned in Chapter 76)

But it is unable to refine radioactive elements.
