I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 583 - 582. The Consequences of Losing One’s Ingeniousness

```

Effortlessly swatting away a few flies, Lu Yao flew to the shoreline of the continent with a thunderous boom of breaking air, preparing to absorb the essence of spirit.

Prior to this on Blue Star, he only took a trivial amount, fearful of causing any impact on the planet and thus dared not take more.

Absorbing the essence of spirit is like "donating blood"; a moderate amount would not have a significant impact, but excessive amounts would inevitably lead to dire consequences.

As for the specifics of how to do this, the world before him was the perfect subject for experimentation.

A self-disciplined Spirit Refinement powerhouse, when roaming through countless realms and absorbing the essence of spirit, would naturally exercise restraint to avoid draining the resources completely.

But the two groups he had encountered earlier, as well as the nation underfoot named "Mala," all spoke in the language of devils.

Lu Yao did not take kindly to this in his heart and had already lost his goodwill and patience.

At that moment, a six-armed figure with the presence of a god or demon materialized behind him, his stature suddenly surging to 300 meters!

The divine figure slammed into the ground like a meteorite, the six robust arms lifting towards the heavens.

The skies instantly darkened with dense clouds; lightning flashed and thunder roared, with thunderbolts continuously striking down, as if attracted by something, all landing on the arms of the divine figure and disappearing without a trace, like mud cows into the sea.

Lu Yao was using this to absorb the essence of spirit contained within the lightning.

He hovered midair, looking at his divine figure with great satisfaction.

It was fortunate that he had insisted on using his own strength to break through "Divine Manifestation," which granted him such a formidable divine figure.

Whether it was the Martial Path or Spirit Refinement, both were supreme paths summarized by the predecessors; each realm performed an irreplaceable function, and not the slightest bit of carelessness was tolerated.

This invincible divine figure was the cornerstone for protecting the path!

Of course, none of this could be without the help of the willing power from his ancestral land Yan Huang; otherwise, he wouldn’t have this 300-meter colossal size.

~~~~~~~~

Unbeknownst to him, time had reached the third day.

Lu Yao’s absorption of the essence of spirit became increasingly adept, the speed greatly accelerated, although the magnitude of the event also grew more immense.

As lightning tore through the skies, a giant figure, like a god or demon, stood with six arms upraised, drawing the lightning to him, while the dark clouds in the sky had now expanded to cover a 300-kilometer radius!

From afar, it appeared as if the heavens had collapsed, a gaping hole opened, with the world’s essence of spirit being continuously absorbed by Lu Yao!

Such a vast spectacle was visible to a great part of the continent.

The surrounding civilians had long since fled, and the government of "Mala" had also taken notice early on.

"Mala," the nation boasting to be the continent’s foremost superpower with formidable military strength, had a standing army of 1 million.

They also had 7 "Giant Warriors" capable of transformation, three of whom Lu Yao had beaten before and were from this nation.

Even such a powerhouse, upon witnessing such a terrifying display, did not dare to speak out loud.

And it wasn’t just the people on the continent who witnessed this exaggerated scene of Lu Yao extracting the essence of spirit; the main characters of the world, Eren and his companions on the island, saw it as well.

They had come to the seashore following the original plot, with Eren beginning to say, "Beyond the sea there is…"

He stopped mid-sentence, because on the other side of the sea, a vast portion of the sky was engulfed by tumultuous dark clouds with flashes of lightning, a scene reminiscent of the end of the world.

Everyone inhaled sharply, but just then, suddenly a flock of birds lost their direction and began flying erratically.

All kinds of birds crashed into people, tree trunks, and even fell into the sea.

This phenomenon occurred throughout the entire world, with pigeons going out of control in the cities, causing no small amount of chaos.

And pigeons... are birds that navigate using the planet’s magnetic field!

The characters on both sides of the strait subconsciously sensed—what Lu Yao was doing was far from a good deed!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

By now, Lu Yao had extracted 10% of the world’s essence of spirit, gradually beginning to create various effects.

He initially believed that the essence of spirit maintained the will of winds and rains, the seasonal cycles, but it now appeared to be far more than that.

```

The Spirit Refinement even affected the planet’s magnetic field, forming the atmosphere, and one could say it crafted the entire planetary ecosystem, achieving a perfect balance.

But this balance was broken by Lu Yao, as the sudden loss of Spirit Refinement threw the planet’s magnetic field into chaos.

At first, only some bird species were affected, and humans were merely unable to use compasses, a minor inconvenience.

However, by the next day, the real consequences began to emerge.

The planet’s magnetic field shielded against various harmful cosmic rays, allowing them to enter the poles and form the beautiful auroras.

But now, the disordered magnetic field no longer provided protection, and harmful cosmic rays from space directly bombarded the surface!

At this moment, spectacular auroras could be seen in the skies above cities all around the world, but this beautiful sight hid an unspeakable horror.

People exposed to it were instantly scorched by cosmic rays, metal was heated red-hot, and numerous skyscrapers and bridges collapsed in succession as their steel reinforcements melted away without support.

Worse yet—scientists discovered that the atmosphere was beginning to form holes!

If the atmosphere were to be gone, there would be no life left on the planet.

Consumed by extreme panic, the cause of all this disaster was glaringly obvious!

"This is a Demon God that destroys worlds!"

At such a critical moment, people from various nations immediately united, setting aside their prejudices, and mobilized their most elite troops and warships, heading towards Lu Yao’s location!

~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, Lu Yao had already extracted 20% of the world’s Spirit Refinement.

"It seems 20% is a warning line... Once it’s exceeded, it can cause severe worldwide effects."

He stopped the extraction of Spirit Refinement, and the dark clouds in the sky began to slowly disperse.

Given his nature, he would naturally not destroy the world, and if it wasn’t for a bit of bias, the world he was in wouldn’t even be affected.

But just then, warships approached from the distant seas, armies converged on the land, and 8 tower-sized Giant Warriors appeared.

Gazing up at the towering Divine Manifestation that resembled a deity or demon, and at Lu Yao who was hovering in midair, they looked anxious but also resolute.

Lu Yao wasn’t surprised; creating such a commotion, the indigenous people were bound to intervene.

His expression casual, he spoke first, his voice clearly reaching everyone’s ears:

[Natives, sorry for the trouble I’ve caused. I was just about to leave.]

[Shall we fight? If you lose, I’ll take something extra. The choice is yours now.]

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

As he spoke, the Divine Manifestation scanned the crowd.

Everyone felt a tremendous pressure, as if a mountain materialized on their backs, leaving them breathless.

Some of the weaker ones even experienced heart palpitations and knelt on the ground.

At the same time, holes formed in the upper atmosphere, and solar particles shot directly down, causing the temperatures to rise to such extents that the oceans began to boil, bubbling furiously, even causing the warships to sway.

Soldiers on the warships, witnessing this terrifying spectacle for the first time, were thrown into a state of panic.

The chaos spread to a gun turret, and somehow a cannon was fired, a large-caliber shell shot straight towards the Divine Manifestation.

The Divine Manifestation easily caught it with a hand, and "poof," it exploded into a puff of black smoke.

This seemed to be a signal, as warships on the surface simultaneously opened fire on Lu Yao, while the 8 Giant Warriors also charged over!

Lu Yao sighed, [It seems you have made your choice.]

As he spoke, the six arms of the towering Divine Manifestation began to move, preparing to use Martial Path techniques.

Even the preliminary preparations whipped up gale-force winds, uprooting trees.

At the same time, the clouds in the sky expanded again, and the previously sparse lightning became more frequent.

Lu Yao planned to take an additional 10% of the Spirit Refinement as reparation for the war.
