Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

All-nitrogen anionic salts, substances with extremely unstable structures yet containing terrifying energy, experience an avalanche-like breakage of their fragile chemical bonds the moment the fuse is triggered.

Every nitrogen atom is eager to return to its most stable and inert form, nitrogen gas (N2), and the energy released in this process is exponential!

Without warning, there was a deafening roar, followed by a higher, sharper explosion that instantly swallowed all other sounds, like a scream as space itself was torn apart!

Immediately following was a shockwave, as real as a physical object, that swept wildly outwards from the points of explosion in all directions.

The air was compressed to an extreme degree, forming a transparent yet destructive ripple barrier. Wherever it passed, whether it was a hard rock wall, a thick stalagmite, or the energy traces left over from the previous battle, it was mercilessly crushed and ground into dust the moment it came into contact with it!

The blazing white light, like a rising tide, quickly engulfed every inch of space within the nest, illuminating the originally dark and eerie Crimson Moon Nest as if it were daytime—no, a pure white hell that was even more dazzling and terrifying than daytime.

The shockwave, carrying unparalleled kinetic energy, crashed into the dome and walls of the nest, producing deafening, continuous explosions and the roar of collapsing rocks.

Huge rocks fell like hailstones, while smaller fragments and dust were swept up by the violent airflow, forming a cloud of dust that blotted out the sky. However, this dust was quickly pushed away and compacted by subsequent, stronger shock waves.

The entire Crimson Moon Nest trembled and groaned violently under the release of this terrifying energy, like a dying behemoth. Immense pressure filled every corner, even the smallest cracks were filled and pierced by this violent power.

This was not a simple explosion; it was an indiscriminate, saturation-type devastating attack triggered by advanced chemical energy, targeting the entire nest structure.

The power of the explosion is so pure and concentrated that, although the heat generated is high, it is manifested more in the form of kinetic energy and pressure waves, destroying the material structure at the most basic level.

In an instant, the Crimson Moon Nest, which had trapped countless adventurers and bred countless evils, was completely swept away and filled by the terrifying power of the all-nitrogen anionic salt, plunging it into an unprecedented frenzy of destruction.

The devastating shockwave, like an invisible giant hammer, swept across with overwhelming force, carrying debris and dust.

The air was compressed and torn apart, emitting a teeth-grinding shriek that made eardrums buzz and temporarily deafened people. Even seasoned warriors like Qiao Xi felt immense pressure in the face of this sudden physical destructive force.

The Taoists at the forefront reacted extremely quickly, summoning their respective divine beasts almost the instant the explosion lit up the sky. The enormous divine beasts, like moving mountains, let out deep roars, their bodies covered in flowing runes, and stood firmly in front of their masters.

The shockwave struck the divine beast, producing a dull, drum-like roar. The beast's massive body shook violently, and the rocks beneath its feet cracked inch by inch, but it ultimately withstood the most fatal frontal impact.

The Taoists hiding behind the divine beast felt the ground beneath their feet tremble violently. Although they were not directly injured by the beast's massive body, they were still shaken so badly that their blood and qi surged and their vision went black.

The mages immediately erected magical shields. The pale yellow energy shields lit up instantly, like fragile bubbles swaying in a storm.

The shockwave struck the magic shield, creating ripples that twisted violently. The light flickered rapidly, its brightness fluctuating, and it emitted a buzzing, mournful sound as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

The mages maintaining the shield were pale, their knuckles white from gripping their staffs so tightly, and fine beads of sweat dotted their foreheads. They poured all their magic power into their spells, barely managing to keep this barrier of life afloat. Some mages who were closer to the explosion and whose magic was weaker even saw their shields crack in the first wave of impact.

Those valiant warriors, however, chose to trust their bodies, forged through countless trials. They roared thunderously, their feet digging deep into the ground like nails, their muscles bulging and bulging, and a faint glow even flowed beneath their skin—the powerful energy and blood force unleashed through years of training.

They crossed their arms to protect themselves, enduring the shockwave head-on.

The violent shockwaves slammed into them like battering rams, making muffled "bang" sounds. They were forced back, their feet carving deep furrows, their chests feeling as if they had been hit by boulders, their blood churning, and a sweet taste rising in their throats. But with their superhuman physique and unwavering will, they gritted their teeth and endured it, though they looked somewhat disheveled, their armor covered with fine scratches and dents from the impact.

Although the aftershocks of the explosion were fierce, for these adventurers who were already extraordinary, as long as they were not in the absolute core area, they would not be instantly killed.

They relied on the protection of divine beasts, magical defense, or their powerful physiques. Although they were all in bad shape, dizzy and covered in dust, and even suffered some internal injuries, there were no large-scale casualties. Their formation was completely broken up, and they temporarily lost their ability to fight back.

In the midst of this moment of chaos and dust, Xu Hao, who had just landed and barely managed to steady himself, had tears streaming down his face from the intense light, and his ears were ringing so sharply that they seemed to pierce his brain.

But he suppressed his discomfort and kept his eyes fixed on the core area where the explosion occurred—the altar.

Through the thinning smoke, he was astonished to see that, at the heart of the devastation and destruction, the altar itself remained completely unharmed! A layer of viscous, dim red light, like some kind of living thing, covered the altar's surface, forming a tightly fitting protective layer. The shockwaves and violent energy flows impacting this red light only caused it to ripple slightly, like waves on water, without harming it in the slightest, firmly protecting the altar within.

As expected of a creation of an advanced civilization, it really is... no good?

Xu Hao's heart sank. Could it be that the thunderous strike he had obtained at such a great cost, even sacrificing the berserk skeleton, was ineffective against this altar?

Just as he was filled with despair and thought all his efforts had been in vain, he caught a glimpse of the remote control out of the corner of his eye!

The indicator light was still flashing faintly according to the preset program and had not been turned off!

A thought flashed through his chaotic mind like lightning—not failure!

These explosives... were detonated with a delay! The devastating power just now was merely the effect of one of the devices being triggered!

The thought that more explosions of the same power would follow filled Xu Hao with a mixture of surprise, joy, and lingering fear.

The first one alone is already terrifyingly powerful!
