Chapter 41: Take My Super Electromagnetic Cannon!

Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Take My Super Electromagnetic Cannon!

"Ancient Refining! It really is Ancient Refining!" the Insect Emperor muttered. Her Divine Thought rapidly scanned the nearby anti-aircraft guns. The more she observed, the more astonished she became. There was no Spiritual Power, nor even the slightest trace of Divine Thought controlling them! Yet, they pivoted with extreme agility, able to keep up with the Azure Emperor’s speed!

"Beast Emperor, if it were you, could you withstand these hidden weapons?" the elderly Insect Emperor asked, looking at the Beast Emperor beside her.

"If facing them alone, I could destroy them all before my Spiritual Power depleted," the Beast Emperor replied, his expression filled with caution. "But for anyone below the Grandmaster realm, or even an ordinary Grandmaster... it would be certain death."

Although an Emperor Venerable was powerful, this wasn’t a world where one could simply step in and settle everything. Everyone had a sect’s foundation to protect. This was especially true for their Hundred Barbarians. Over the years, their population had dwindled, and many tribes had gone extinct. The title of "Hundred Barbarians" was now in name only.

The other three Emperor Venerables remained silent. They had clearly realized the immense destructive power these weapons would unleash on a mortal battlefield.

Up in the sky, Little Nine finally made her move. Lightning intertwined with astonishing momentum, and combined with the incessant BAM BAM BAM of the cannons, it was a terrifying spectacle.

"Hahaha! What’s this? Is the dignified Azure Emperor only good at running away?" Shen Yun laughed heartily.

"Bastard!" The Azure Emperor’s face flushed red. He simply charged straight at Shen Yun. "I’ll kill you first!"

In that short amount of time, he had actually been struck hundreds of times by these terrifying hidden weapons. His violent winds were rendered nearly useless, leaving him to rely entirely on his Spiritual Power and his precious armor to force a defense. But if this continued, he would inevitably be defeated!

Shen Yun might have been laughing, but he remained secretly vigilant. At this moment, lightning wrapped around his body. With a wave of his hand, a fist-sized projectile instantly materialized.

Little Nine didn’t understand Cultivation Techniques or martial moves, but she understood science! What kind of moves could be executed with the power of lightning? In modern society, you could grab any random otaku off the street, and they would know.

Gradually brightening lightning gathered between Shen Yun’s hands. He used his Spiritual Power to mimic the principle of electromagnetic induction, creating a makeshift barrel, and then placed the projectile inside. Although this was her first time using it, Little Nine had already simulated it in her mind thousands of times.

Shen Yun looked at the scientific miracle before him with excitement. Finally, as the Azure Emperor drew closer, everything was ready!

Shen Yun’s shout echoed through the heavens. "Eat my Super Electromagnetic Cannon!"

BOOM!

The projectile accelerated continuously within the Spiritual Power-constructed barrel before blasting forward. This time, not even the Divine Thought of an Emperor Venerable could capture its astonishing speed. The air was instantly shoved aside as a terrifying shockwave ripped across the sky, piercing straight through the white clouds and leaving a scorching trail in the heavens.

None of the Emperor Venerables spoke. They merely gaped, their expressions of shock beyond description. They could hardly believe their eyes. Could it be that this was the legacy of an ancient supreme sect!? The same hidden weapon—when executed by an ordinary magical artifact versus a top-tier Grandmaster—had a heaven-and-earth difference in momentum and power. Searching their souls, none of them could guarantee they would survive such a brutal strike.

"Where is the Azure Emperor?" Cold sweat beaded on the Battle King’s forehead. He immediately took to the air, continuously sweeping his Divine Thought. He wanted to see if the precious armor on the Azure Emperor could withstand that blow.

The result was a remarkably tragic sight. The Azure Emperor was indeed still alive, but his entire left arm, along with the shoulder, had evaporated completely. The wound was a gory mess of mangled flesh, and his gaze was vacant; he had clearly suffered a severe mental blow.

"It only hit his arm," the Sword Emperor said as he flew up as well. His expression was incredibly solemn, yet it carried a trace of lingering relief. "If it had hit his torso, he would undoubtedly be dead. His armor wouldn’t have been able to save him..."

"The number one Grandmaster in the world... is about to emerge." The Battle King took a deep breath, casting a complex look at Shen Yun not far away, who still looked completely unfazed.

For hundreds of years, none of the seven great Grandmasters had ever submitted to another. Because of their ability to influence the Heavenly Dao, they could casually fight for three days and three nights without a clear victor. But now... who could dodge or defend against this kind of attack? And who knew if the Jiuzhou Sect had other tricks up their sleeves?

Everyone could foresee the coming changes, but at the same time, they grew extremely wary. Who was to say that tomorrow, they wouldn’t become today’s Azure Emperor?

What these Emperor Venerables didn’t know was that Shen Yun himself was equally shocked.

"Little Nine, this... doesn’t quite look like the anime."

"That’s because I’ve already maximized the output," Little Nine replied, sounding somewhat pleasantly surprised herself. "I estimate the projectile’s initial velocity is around fourteen times the speed of sound, which is almost comparable to the speeds seen in the United States’ electromagnetic anti-aircraft gun tests in 1995... It’s just that the accuracy is a bit hard to control."

"This is just too... Forget it, I don’t even know what to say." Shen Yun decided to remain silent. All he needed to know was that Little Nine was incredibly formidable.

According to the kinetic energy formula: Ek = (mv^2) / 2, multiplying the speed by five meant multiplying the total kinetic energy by twenty-five. Such immense force was enough to pierce right through the Azure Emperor’s defensive Spiritual Power. Given his physical endurance, taking a direct hit would result in the exact same fate as that arm. It was a move capable of killing a top-tier Grandmaster in a single strike!

Scientific Cultivation possessed boundless power!

As for the Azure Emperor, he finally snapped out of his daze. Unspeakable horror remained plastered across his face as his body trembled uncontrollably.

Just a little bit! He was just a little bit away from dying!

The Azure Emperor, who was usually feared by countless people, was currently no different from the mortals who feared him. No, there was a difference.

"AHHH!" The Azure Emperor let out a hysterical scream. Looking as if he was about to charge forward, his body instead erupted with the fastest speed he had ever mustered in his entire life, bolting straight up into the sky. He wanted to use the white clouds as cover to escape.

Now, even the ordinary spectators knew: the Azure Emperor had lost, and he had lost miserably.

"We can’t let him get away," Wei Er’s voice suddenly crackled through the earpiece. "The missiles are ready. Mr. Shen, can you fire another Super Electromagnetic Cannon like just now?"

"Although the Electromagnetic Cannon has a long range, its impact weakens the further it goes. It’s better to use the missiles. I’ll chase after him as well." Shen Yun’s figure blended with lightning as he pursued his target.

The Sword Emperor and the Battle King exchanged a glance before following suit, and the other three Emperor Venerables did the same. They weren’t surprised by Shen Yun’s intent to exterminate his foe completely. As long as the Azure Emperor lived, he was still a top-tier Grandmaster. If he spent the rest of his life seeking revenge against the Jiuzhou Sect, Shen Yun wouldn’t be able to protect every single disciple in the sect. This battle had reached a point where it would not end until one of them was dead.

Them following along was merely because they wanted to see what other methods the Jiuzhou Sect still had.

"Thunder Emperor." The Battle King’s body shimmered with golden light. Having used some unknown Secret Technique, his speed drastically increased, allowing him to catch up to Shen Yun, who was approaching the speed of sound. "I have a Secret Technique to track the location of the imperial Star Moon Sword. How about I lead the way?"

"Heh." The Sword Emperor sneered twice from the side. "Such an attitude truly befits a member of the royal family. Battle King, have you forgotten who lent the Star Moon Sword to the Azure Emperor in the first place?"
