Chapter 1057: Chapter 938: Success?

High above, Ye Fan exerted all his strength to propel his Golden Feather Wings in flight, not daring to relax even slightly.

Because the Flame Eagle’s speed was too fast, several attacks almost hit him.

Although his strength far surpassed cultivators of the same realm, allowing him to challenge higher levels and with the protection of the Heavenly Demon Armor, the disparity in strength with the Flame Eagle was too great. If hit, he would be severely injured if not killed.

In front of the TV, all of humanity’s hearts were tightly clenched. Every time Ye Fan was in danger, their hearts tensed along with him.

Undoubtedly, Ye Fan carried the hope for human survival. If Ye Fan perished, then who else would sacrifice their life to do this? Probably no one would be so noble.

Perhaps it was truly Heaven’s will, or maybe the unity of everyone moved the heavens. Although Ye Fan was repeatedly attacked by the Flame Eagle, he magically evaded each time, leading the Flame Eagle all the way to the African continent without danger.

“Heaven bless, may Huaxia Ye Fan successfully lead this terrifying scourge to the designated place!”

At this moment, even those who usually did not believe in gods could not help but pray to the vague deities and the heavens.

Over at the African Union, with the War God Alliance in place, a Super Nuclear Bomb was ready, and the approximate strike coordinates were already marked.

They were just waiting for Ye Fan to lead the Flame Eagle to the nuclear strike point’s location so they could launch the missile, determined to blast this terrifying mutant beast to pieces.

Ye Fan’s face was pale, his Gang Qi severely depleted. If it weren’t for his Gang Qi reserve being a hundred times that of an ordinary cultivator, it would have been exhausted long ago.

He had underestimated the Flame Eagle’s flying speed and terrifying attack power.

In just half a day’s time, he had been attacked by the Flame Eagle’s various beast techniques no less than a hundred times. Though not directly hit, the aftermath still affected him. Without his exceptionally robust physique and the defense of the Heavenly Demon Armor, he would have long been burned to charcoal.

As the ruler among True Essence Realm Xuan Beasts, the Flame Eagle was proud!

Having failed to kill Ye Fan after numerous attacks, the Flame Eagle was nearly driven to madness with rage.

In its anger, it couldn’t help but admit that this human cultivator was exceedingly cunning.

Every time it attacked, he seemed to be able to predict it in advance and make the right evasive moves, causing its attacks to fail.

Little did it know that Ye Fan was not just a Martial Artist but also a Magician, a typical Dual Cultivator of Magic and Martial Arts. His powerful spiritual power gave him perception far beyond that of ordinary people, and his ability to predict danger was much stronger than that of average cultivators.

Finally, after crossing the Indian Ocean and Hong Hai Channel, Ye Fan entered the African continent.

The Flame Eagle continued its relentless pursuit, having realized that in this world, nothing could truly threaten it. Therefore, it wasn’t afraid of Ye Fan playing tricks. It was determined to tear him apart to vent its fury.

Arriving on the African continent, Ye Fan dared not relax in the slightest. The closer one gets to success, the easier it is to fail. Too many things have been lost at the last moment, and Ye Fan would not allow such a situation to happen to him.

Moreover, failure meant death. To save his little life, Ye Fan would not be careless, forcing himself to head towards the core of the Sahara Desert.

The Sahara Desert spans the entire northern Africa, stretching five thousand six hundred kilometers east to west, and sixteen hundred kilometers north to south, with a total area of nine hundred and six thousand five hundred square kilometers, almost as large as the entirety of Huaxia.

A barren land in the center of the Sahara, perpetually engulfed by sandstorms, not even the most resilient desert mice and cacti could survive there, let alone humans.

Furthermore, the terrain here changes constantly under the awe-inspiring forces of nature. Without traversing it from above, one can easily get lost and never escape the desert, eventually becoming one of the countless dried corpses after exhausting all supplies.

After arriving on the African continent, Ye Fan, in the midst of the chaos, had a conversation with Yan using his wristwatch. Yan gave him the coordinates of the strike point, marking them with a red dot on a satellite map sent to him.

Ye Fan opened the display on his watch, confirming his current location. He then drew a straight line to connect his position and the strike point’s coordinates.

No matter the distance, a straight line is always the shortest. Ye Fan didn’t concern himself with the human cities below, pushing his Golden Feather Wings to the limit, flying towards the predetermined strike point.

“Human, you can’t escape. No matter where you flee, I will tear you apart and use your flesh and blood to quell my fury!” the Flame Eagle howled as it pursued, declaring its intent to kill Ye Fan even if he fled to the ends of the earth.

There were three reasons why it relentlessly pursued Ye Fan: first, Ye Fan was refining Beast Core during his escape to replenish his depleted Gang Qi, which drove it mad.

Second, Ye Fan was one of nine people who appeared near the Light Gate last time. Although it managed to kill six, three escaped, and Ye Fan was one of them. It considered this a great humiliation; escaping under the eyes of a flying Xuan Beast was akin to receiving a loud slap.

Third, it sensed from Ye Fan’s aura that his body was extraordinary. Unlike other human cultivators, the Life Essence Energy within his body was exceptionally strong.

For the Xuan Beast, this flesh is absolutely a great supplement. As long as it devours Ye Fan’s body, it is highly likely to advance again, or even use this Life Essence Energy to improve its own physique and suppress the evil fire.

With these three reasons, even knowing there is danger ahead, it will absolutely not give up. Besides, the Flame Eagle believes that the most powerful attack humans have should be that strange weapon which severely injured its six key subordinates.

The explosion of that magnitude is indeed terrifying, and a half-step Yuan realm mutant beast really can’t withstand it. However, it doesn’t affect it; it doesn’t worry about endangering its life.

Moreover, it believes that Ye Fan’s identity in this world must be very special. As long as he is present, humanity may not resort to such powerful attacks again.

Even if they do, the might of that attack is too great. To use it once is manageable, but it doesn’t believe the cultivators of this world can use it many times. After all, the greater the power of an attack, the more energy it requires. This is an unassailable truth.

This so-called truth is indeed applicable in the Xuan Realm, even universal, but unfortunately, this is Earth, not the Xuan Realm.

Even though the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi on Earth isn’t as rich as in the Xuan Realm, humans can make up for it in other ways. Nuclear bombs are the most compelling evidence.

Finally, under the gaze of all, Ye Fan succeeded in luring the Flame Eagle to the target zone of the nuclear strike.

When the news arrived, in the War God Alliance command center, a resolute gleam flashed in Yan’s eyes, and he slapped the bright red button fiercely, instantly launching the super nuclear bomb.

Time froze; everyone was waiting for that earth-shattering boom and the world-shocking scene. People were very anxious. Could the super nuclear bomb successfully wipe out this flame-covered monster bird?

As Yan pressed the button, the news already reached Ye Fan’s side, where Ye Fan was playing hide and seek with the Flame Eagle near the central coordinates of the desert.

At this moment, he was actually at the end of his strength, barely managing to gather his remaining Gang Qi. Before the nuclear bomb fell, he couldn’t hide in the Virtual Space of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown.

In the desert, the Flame Eagle was even more powerful; after all, its innate ability was fire. If Ye Fan chose to fight it over the ocean, the heavy Water Element above might somewhat hinder it, but the desert was different.

The desert, dry and rainless, filled the air with a burning odor, enabling it to exert even more power.

Of course, having nothing flammable in the desert is a major drawback, but the Flame Eagle wasn’t worried. Its flames could burn for a long time even without any aides.

It was confident that, even in the desert, it had no problem roasting this hateful human cultivator with flames.

The nuclear bomb was remotely launched, and the strike point was not far away. Yan arranged it that way deliberately, as the Flame Eagle’s perception of danger was strong; it must not escape too far from the strike point. Otherwise, if it couldn’t be killed this time, it would be hard to lure it back again.

Boom!

The Flame Eagle was furious. Ye Fan was too cunning, none of its attacks were effective, forcing it to use its ace technique, the Siphon Fire Chain, its innate Beast Skill.

An orange-red flame spewed from its mouth like a flamethrower, creating a fire dragon in the desert chasing after Ye Fan.

At that moment, Ye Fan also saw the dark nuclear bomb rapidly descending towards them.

In desperation, Ye Fan exerted all his strength, boosting his speed to the utmost limit. In a blink of an eye, he moved away from the missile’s strike point. With a thought, he took a step, and a golden crown suddenly appeared in the air, and… Ye Fan completely vanished!

Huh?!

The Flame Eagle was stunned, unaware of what trick Ye Fan was up to.

Immediately, as the Flame Eagle planned to inspect what the golden crown was, the super nuclear bomb arrived.

Boom!!

The nuclear bomb hit, exploded, releasing immense energy. Blazing white light accompanied by a deafening bang rose into a mushroom cloud, as if an asteroid smashed violently into the desert.

After a brief blank, what people could see was a massive mushroom cloud rising swiftly; a crater in a radial shape at the site of the nuclear bomb, everything vanished.

No sound, only images could be seen on television, but nothing else was visible except for the overwhelming sand and that heart-palpitating mushroom cloud.

At this moment, a question filled everyone’s mind: Was it successful??
