I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 450. Avoid arrogance and impatience

Divine Souls are composed of biological electromagnetic fields, initially shielded by the Heart Image. Entering the dark clouds is nothing special.

But now, with the Heart Image gone, the free charges within the clouds all converged and struck Lu Li together.

Lu Li was not too panicked.

The cloud mass was not very large, and the forming thunder contained the Heaven and Earth Will to no great extent. He was confident he could withstand it.

Instead, he learned one of the dangerous aspects of passing the Heavenly Tribulation—when the Heart Image shatters, it prompts a Combined Attack from the thunder!

In the briefest of moments, as slow followed speed, lightning already struck him, causing his "Immortal Will" to flicker chaotically.

Roaring, dizziness, and intense pain filled his mind—as if a heavy metal rock band was playing a concert inside his head.

Divine Soul consumption was 20% heavier than before, but that was all; it was entirely bearable.

Moreover, without the "Heart Image" barrier, he could feel the "Heaven and Earth Will" within the lightning more directly.

Magnificent, eternal, and merciless... It had neither affection nor disgust toward Lu Li; it was just mechanical and icy, maintaining the planet’s operation.

Lu Li realized that he was like an ant crushed by a truck’s tire, only surviving due to the luck of landing in a tread mark.

If this tremendous will had targeted or been hostile to him in the slightest, he would have been crushed to dust on the spot!

"A gentleman’s heart should always maintain reverence."

The smooth sailing and the many serendipities today had unwittingly bred arrogance and pride in Lu Li.

Feeling the Heaven and Earth Will up close at this moment, he instantly became alert—

Because of the gifts from Mother Star, he made some minor progress. But what did that amount to in front of true greatness?

"The path of cultivation is long and perilous, remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity!"

Lu Li sternly reminded himself and then bowed to the heavens and earth within the clouds.

It was unclear whether a wave of thunder exhausted the charges or for some other reason, but the clouds dispersed quickly.

The sun shone down again, and Lu Li’s Divine Soul returned, after which he replenished the consumption with 200 Spirit Mechanisms.

His Divine Soul healed swiftly, becoming even more vigorous and resilient, just like before.

Just a few more such sessions in due course, and his Divine Soul would grow incredibly strong!

This was exactly the process of base metal enduring forging to transform into fine steel!

And what created this miracle was, ultimately, the gift from Mother Star.

The inexhaustible Spirit Mechanisms, the perfectly intense thunder, and the lethal weapons made by his peers had all helped him through the initial development stage.

This beautiful azure planet was the greatest golden finger.

Lu Li grew more thankful that he hadn’t been overly demanding and had not harmed the planet.

He took a long breath, his thoughts clear and unobstructed.

But then, a wave of deep sleepiness invaded his mind.

Despite the repair from Spirit Mechanisms, having gone through two thunder refinements in one day, he needed to sleep to fully mend the damage.

Lu Li dived into the sea and swam 10 kilometers towards the depths of the Atlantic before setting his four Flying Swords on Alert and falling into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, the citizens of Star Alliance Country were experiencing an unprecedented migration.

As of now, three out of the top ten metropolitan areas in the country had been removed from the list.

The remaining seven were being abandoned as everyone rushed to leave.

Ordinary citizens, companies, enterprises, the wealthy, and officials... No one dared to stay in large cities.

Cities that were incredibly prosperous just a day ago had become ghost towns overnight.

Military bases also evacuated overnight, and in the span of one night, fully a third of the soldiers deserted; the rest just managed to fit into underground shelters built during the Cold War.

As Korva’s video spread, the Divine Soul with a glowing halo behind its head spoke the words "acting in the name of heaven," plunging the entire country into apocalyptic panic.

Ordinary citizens could flee, but those in power could not.

Once the empire collapsed, they wouldn’t even need a superman to take action—other countries would hold them accountable.

So, for the sake of power and their own lives, they had to fight no matter what.

At this moment, in the "New White Mansion" underground in California,

high-ranking officials represented by President Deng Han were urgently consulting with military officials and scientists.

[A nuclear bomb with a yield of 20 million tons will certainly be able to harm the Evil Demon, but we lack effective means of delivery.]

[Ballistic missiles, aerial bombings, all would be intercepted by the Evil Demon in advance.]

[The previous success was because the Evil Demon wanted to test its new abilities. There won’t be such a good opportunity again.]

...

A group of people discussed and deliberated but could not come up with a good plan.

At that time, it was still President Deng Han who had an inspiration and said, "Can we set it up in advance and have the Evil Demon step on it himself?"

This suggestion enlightened everyone, and they began to measure against the map.

[Following the Evil Demon’s trajectory, he should be heading to Atlanta, Columbia, and then to Hampton Anchorage!]

[Hampton Anchorage is our country’s largest naval base, and it already has a nuclear weapons warehouse. With a little modification, it would be the perfect trap!]

The group became more and more excited as they spoke, clearly finding the plan highly feasible.

"So, let’s get to it right away, and may God bless us."

President Deng Han immediately made the decision, mobilizing all available forces to plant an unprecedented "nuclear landmine."

And as a seasoned strategist, he always had a backup plan ready.

Deng Han also contacted all strategic missile launch bases and commanders of strategic nuclear submarines!

As the sunrise marked the early morning of the next day, Lu Li awoke at the bottom of the sea.

Twelve hours of ample sleep had thoroughly restored his Divine Soul.

At that moment, propelling his body out of the sea without any enhancements, he easily broke the sound barrier.

His strength had obviously increased significantly. Lu Li glanced at his Heart Image and, indeed—his size had exceeded 210 meters!

"I must continue to persevere!"

Cultivation was the priority. Lu Li did not rush to cause destruction or extract Spirit Mechanisms but rapidly ascended in search of Thunderstorm Clouds.

Fortunately, these were not uncommon in the tropical monsoon climate areas, and Lu Li quickly found one.

After fortifying his Divine Soul with "Immortal Will," he hurriedly flew into it.

The Thunderstorm Cloud had just formed, with Qi Vortices still rising steadily. It took ten minutes before it began generating charges.

Then, as if attracted by something, these charges converged into bolts of lightning that struck Lu Li’s Divine Soul simultaneously.

The Heaven and Earth Will contained in this strike was more than double that of yesterday’s.

It immediately created cracks in the golden Immortal Will on his body’s surface, nearly shattering it.

Lu Li groaned as his Divine Soul nearly failed to maintain its human form, almost snapping back to a Light Ball state.

But having endured many thunderous tribulations, his Divine Soul’s strength was incomparable to before. After wobbling slightly, it quickly stabilized and withstood the blow.

"That’s powerful!"

Lu Li gritted his teeth and roared, then promptly performed Soul Returning.

Under the nourishment of both his physical body and the Spirit Mechanism, his injuries quickly healed.

Lu Li’s complexion wasn’t great, but his mood was very good: "This lightning strike was like a heavy limit deadlift. The refining effect turned out to be even better!"
