Explosions echoed from the depths of the pit, growing louder and more intense.
The *Mutual Multiplying Explosive Tag Technique* works by infinitely stacking explosions. As long as there’s enough chakra, the power will continue to increase over time.
In Sage Mode, Leo had an abundant supply of chakra. Even after splitting into 2,000 shadow clones, he still had plenty left, and if he ran low, he could always pop a few soldier pills.
If he could maintain this, he believed that even the Blood Cavern could collapse from the force, at least partially.
“Who would’ve thought Junior Brother Qingfeng had such mastery of spells!”
Watching as the entire Blood Cavern began to tremble from the explosions, Danchenzi couldn’t help but express his admiration.
However, the good times didn’t last long. Just as Danchenzi finished speaking, a torrent of blood suddenly surged from the pit, swallowing up the thousands of exploding tags and instantly halting Leo’s technique.
The *Mutual Multiplying Explosive Tag Technique* can indeed stack explosions, but if all the tags are destroyed at once, the chain reaction stops.
This technique is most effective when uninterrupted.
“As expected, it’s not that easy!”
Leo sighed.
Youquan Blood Demon had already merged with the Blood Cavern, his power surpassing the peak of the Earth Immortal realm. Thinking the explosive tag technique alone could destroy him was naïve.
Even Leo himself could think of several ways to neutralize the technique’s chain reaction if he were the target.
“The Blood Cavern is about to close!”
Xuanyuan reminded them.
As time passed, Youquan’s fusion with the Blood Cavern accelerated. He now had the ability to control the opening and closing of the cavern’s entrance.
He was preparing to seal the Blood Cavern, trapping them inside like fish in a barrel.
“It seems we have no other choice.”
Realizing that conventional methods wouldn’t be enough to seriously injure Youquan or stop him from fully merging with the Blood Cavern, Leo finally pulled out his trump card.
A time-activated nuclear bomb.
“Junior Brother Qingfeng, what is that?”
Seeing Leo suddenly produce a strange, two-meter-long object with no spiritual energy fluctuations, Danchenzi looked on curiously.
Leo used the Earth Release technique to dig a hole, placing the bomb inside. He replied:
“This is an ancient treasure left behind by my past life. It functions similarly to a Thunderfire Golden Pellet, but with much greater power. I retrieved it from my sect last time, hoping it might be useful against the Blood Cavern.”
The *Thunderfire Golden Pellet* was a one-time-use treasure that exploded with thunder and fire to harm enemies.
After setting the timer and burying the bomb, Leo grabbed Xuanyuan with one hand and Danchenzi with the other.
“This ancient treasure has immense destructive power. We’ll be caught in the blast if we stay here. Let’s leave first!”
Danchenzi and Xuanyuan nodded. They had no other means to defeat Youquan anyway.
“Mirage Shifting!”
With their agreement, Leo used his Mirage Shifting technique to teleport them away from the spot.
The nuclear weapons of Earth in the Marvel Universe were created with the assistance of the Eternals, who were themselves creations of the Celestials. This meant the knowledge of nuclear technology ultimately came from the Celestials.
This explained why Earth, despite being a relatively undeveloped civilization, possessed nuclear weapons capable of rivaling those found in advanced cosmic civilizations.
Leo was confident that even if Youquan Blood Demon had reached the peak of the Earth Immortal realm and significantly increased his strength by merging with the Blood Spring, the explosion from this atomic bomb would still inflict considerable damage.
If one bomb wasn’t enough, he had a dozen more. And if those didn’t work, he had even stronger nuclear weapons ready.
As long as Youquan stayed inside the Blood Cavern, he would be forced to endure the full power of the nuclear explosions.
The atomic bomb Leo was using came from the U.S., with a blast equivalent to 30,000 tons of TNT. The explosion would generate temperatures of several hundred thousand degrees and create pressures of tens of millions of atmospheres.
…
“It’s Senior Brother and the others!”
When Leo appeared with Danchenzi and Xuanyuan, Li Yingqi shouted loudly from below.
“What’s the situation inside?”
Baimei Zhenren asked seriously, his expression grim.
After seeing the Blood Cavern tremble earlier, he almost couldn’t resist flying in himself.
However, remembering how he had been tricked by Youquan into using his power to open the Blood Cavern, he forcibly held back.
“Master, Youquan has merged with the Blood Cavern. We stood no chance against him. Junior Brother Qingfeng left behind an ancient Thunderfire Golden Pellet and used the Minor Teleportation technique to save us.”
Danchenzi quickly explained the situation.
Leo then added:
“The Thunderfire Golden Pellet is about to explode. We all need to ascend to 100 meters to avoid the blast!”
“All disciples and fellow Daoists, follow me and ascend!”
After a moment of thought, Baimei Zhenren issued the command, leading everyone to rise 100 meters into the air using their treasures.
“Estimated detonation in five seconds.”
Once airborne, Leo estimated the timer, noting that there were about five seconds left until the explosion.
Hearing this, everyone focused their attention on the Blood Cavern below, silently counting down in their heads.
“Five, four, three, two, one—boom!”
A thunderous explosion, as if the sky and earth were collapsing, erupted from the Blood Cavern, causing everyone—even at a height of 100 meters—to experience ringing in their ears.
Moments later, flames surged from the entrance of the Blood Cavern, and the entire Panluo Valley trembled violently, as if an earthquake had struck. Terrifying cracks appeared on the ground’s surface.
The power unleashed within the Blood Cavern was clearly catastrophic.
The violent tremors continued for about five seconds before gradually subsiding.
“The Blood Cavern’s power has been greatly weakened!”
Baimei Zhenren, sensing the energy within the cavern below, revealed a look of astonishment.
He knew that the Blood Cavern, formed from Chiyou’s essence blood, contained such immense power that even with his strength—capable of ascending to Heavenly Immortal—it remained unscathed by his attacks with the Haotian Mirror.
Yet the ancient treasure Leo used had managed to significantly weaken the Blood Cavern’s energy—an unbelievable feat.
Meanwhile, within the Blood Cavern…
Youquan Blood Demon was no longer lounging comfortably in the blood lake. He was now so weakened that he could barely speak. The blood in the lake, which had previously been abundant, had been reduced by more than half.
“How could this happen? What kind of treasure was that? How could it be so powerful?”
Just moments ago, Youquan had planned to seal the Blood Cavern’s entrance and capture Danchenzi, Xuanyuan, and the unknown Golden Core cultivator.
But who would have expected that the most insignificant of the three—Leo—would possess the long-lost Minor Teleportation technique, and in the end, successfully escape with Danchenzi and Xuanyuan.
Out of curiosity, Youquan had left the blood lake and approached the object left behind by the Golden Core cultivator.
Before he could investigate, the intense heat from the explosion instantly vaporized his physical body, forcing him to retreat back into the blood lake, relying on the power of the Blood Cavern to protect his soul.
Even then, he had sustained serious injuries and barely survived.
