Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1285 - 1283: Let’s Get Started

As the golden flames were just starting to spread, they were suddenly confined by the seven-colored light. Then blue lightning and black flames joined in, and the three kinds of extraordinary radiances suppressed the golden flames, preventing them from spreading in all directions!

Next, the seven-colored light erupted violently, forming an inverted giant bell that directed the shockwaves from the micro-nuclear bomb explosion toward the sky. Instantly, a golden light beam about ten meters in diameter shot upward, piercing through the pitch-black night. The brilliance of the beam was so dazzling that no one could bear to look directly at it. The destructive power of the explosion was truly terrifying...

Lin Feng’s expression changed drastically, his face dark and grim. Finally, he sighed in relief—it had been close. He hadn’t expected Edward to resort to using a micro-nuclear bomb. If Lin Feng hadn’t sensed the danger and coordinated with the two Demon Kings just in time, this region might have suffered catastrophic consequences, leaving no survivors. Fortunately, he managed to contain the micro-nuclear bomb’s blast, avoiding the devastation of everything surrounding it!

Standing beside Lin Feng, the two Demon Kings continued channeling their source powers into Lin Feng’s Seven-Colored Gang Qi. They, too, were genuinely terrified. At the moment the bomb exploded, they felt unprecedented danger. Never did they imagine that the technology of the Secular World had progressed to create bombs that even they feared. It was truly inconceivable. If it weren’t for Lin Feng... they didn’t dare to imagine the outcome...

Lin Feng!

It’s... it’s too good!

The explosion is controlled—this is amazing!

...

The other cultivators, including Old Monster, were overjoyed when they saw Lin Feng manage to contain the nuclear bomb’s explosion. The bomb’s power was simply too immense; they had already resigned themselves to despair. Yet Lin Feng suppressed the shockwaves and directed the fearsome golden flames into the void. They thought to themselves, "Lin Feng is truly extraordinary—no one else could accomplish such a miraculous feat but him!"

This is impossible!

Edward, having witnessed the MK bomb successfully detonating, had already resigned himself to death. He even hoped to drag Lin Feng and the others down with him. However, while the nuclear bomb did indeed explode, Lin Feng contained its blast radius. He even concentrated the resulting shockwaves and sent them skyward. Edward was stunned, questioning how this was possible—it was a nuclear bomb, after all. How could Lin Feng achieve this!

In that moment, Edward was utterly dumbfounded, standing frozen mid-air like a wooden figure, unable to comprehend the reality before his eyes. How could mere human strength suppress the detonation of a nuclear bomb? This... this ****** cannot be human. This was a genuine micro-nuclear bomb. Normally, everything within a ten-kilometer radius would dissolve into nothingness. Yet now Lin Feng had confined the explosion’s destructive force. Such an act was utterly unimaginable. Anyone would share Edward’s disbelief.

Regret started to creep into Edward’s heart. If he had known Lin Feng possessed such terrifying abilities, how could he have dared provoke him? Now... now things were bound to go terribly wrong...

Soon, the shockwaves dissipated entirely into nothingness. Once the residual waves disappeared, Lin Feng began descending, moving step by step toward Edward with a terrifyingly grim expression. He didn’t say a word, but the aura he emitted made Edward break out in cold sweat. Edward instantly understood that Lin Feng was truly enraged—his fate was dire.

Realizing this, Edward immediately activated the God Slayer Mech’s escape mode. In an instant, six blue streaks of light burst out from the back of the mech, propelling it at high speed toward the distance. The velocity was astonishing, far beyond what was imaginable to an ordinary person. Though the mech’s form and drag limited its speed slightly, its rapid movement was still far beyond comprehension. As Edward fled, he prayed fervently—praying to escape Lin Feng, praying that Lin Feng wouldn’t catch up. If Lin Feng did, everything would be over...

Running away now?

Seeing Edward manipulating the God Slayer Mech to flee, Lin Feng shook his head. There was no way he’d let Edward escape today. Lin Feng moved, and in an instant, he caught up to the God Slayer Mech, reaching out and clutching one of its arms. With a powerful grip:

"Down!"

With a simple, calm utterance, the God Slayer Mech suddenly hurtled toward the ground like an oversized sandbag! Inside the mech, Edward desperately attempted to adjust its posture to prevent a direct collision with the earth. But he hadn’t anticipated that the descent would be so fast—before he could control anything, the mech had already collided with the ground.

"Boom!"

A deafening crash erupted. The God Slayer Mech plummeted into the earth, forming a massive crater over ten meters in diameter. The ground trembled violently. In the cockpit, Edward came close to being killed outright by the impact. Though he narrowly avoided death, he was in an exceedingly dire condition—ears bleeding profusely, and unable to hear anything...

Before Edward could regain his senses, he suddenly felt the God Slayer Mech being lifted again. Terror overtook him—he nearly lost his soul. In his current state, another fall might very well kill him!

As if hearing Edward’s inner fears, another deafening crash echoed.

"Boom!"

The God Slayer Mech smashed into the ground again. This time its legs, as though steel girders, plunged deep into the earth while the mech’s upper torso remained exposed above ground. Inside the damaged mech, Edward couldn’t endure the ferocious vibrations anymore and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered onto the control panel in front of him. Edward’s face turned deathly pale—gone was his arrogant former demeanor. All he could think of was how much he wished he could faint already and escape the agony. His body felt utterly shattered...

But while Edward may have succumbed to chaotic thoughts, Lin Feng had no intention of wasting time on him.

Lin Feng stepped to the side of the God Slayer Mech. With both hands exerting force, he began dismantling the mech swiftly. Its armor plates, as fragile as paper under Lin Feng’s power, were peeled off one by one. Lin Feng’s pace quickened, and soon, the front of the God Slayer Mech was completely stripped away, exposing Edward seated in the cockpit.

Facing Lin Feng, Edward abandoned all thoughts of struggle. Regret consumed him. Had he known Lin Feng’s unbelievable strength, he wouldn’t have dared challenge him. Not only had Lin Feng spared his life—for now—but the Locke Family had suffered devastating losses. Worse yet, Edward now faced his own looming end. All of this was entirely his doing...

"Lin Feng, I never imagined the God Slayer Mech couldn’t kill you, nor the MK bomb couldn’t destroy you. Have I been wrong in creating these mechs? Are they really inferior to cultivators?" Looking at Lin Feng, Edward finally let go and asked. He knew his death was inevitable, but before meeting his end, he wanted answers.

"Your path wasn’t wrong, but every step of how you walked it was. From the very beginning, you set the mech’s development in the wrong direction. These mechs could have been far more powerful—ten times more powerful even—but you misunderstood their capabilities from the start. That’s why you never created truly formidable mechs." Lin Feng replied bluntly, his words striking at Edward’s failed approach to design. Indeed, it wasn’t the concept but Edward’s flawed understanding that limited the potential of his machines.

"Can you tell me what’s the greatest power cultivators can achieve?" Edward nodded at Lin Feng’s answer. He had no reason to doubt Lin Feng’s words now. He knew well that his mechs had unresolved problems. Shifting the topic, Edward asked again, seeking a glimpse into the world of cultivators.

"The power we command is beyond common comprehension. Human potential is infinite. With enough talent and opportunity, there’s no limit to how far one can cultivate. Just look at those young ones—they’re barely over ten years old and already unbeatable masters from an ordinary perspective. As for other cultivators... well, that’s a realm you’ll never be able to fathom."

Lin Feng smiled faintly as he reflected on Edward’s curiosity about cultivators. He responded briefly, viewing Edward as a fallen hero of sorts. In another reality, Edward might have been someone entirely different had they not crossed paths. This brief insight was Lin Feng’s concession to Edward’s curiosity; with other enemies, he wouldn’t have wasted a single word.

"Deal with me—I have no regrets in dying!" Having obtained the answers he sought, Edward simply closed his eyes and accepted his fate. The proverb "the victor becomes king, the defeated a bandit" hung heavy in his heart. He understood the consequences of failure—that death was the price of defeat.

"Killing you was never my intention. If I wanted to, you wouldn’t still be alive. But not killing you doesn’t mean letting you go—others will decide your fate." Lin Feng remarked with a chuckle, observing Edward’s resigned attitude. Lin Feng had never planned to kill Edward. If he had, Edward wouldn’t have survived this far.

Leng Mei had already briefed Lin Feng about Edward’s importance to certain nations. Edward possessed sensitive information and advanced technologies from various countries, making him a valuable asset who couldn’t be arbitrarily executed. Lin Feng only needed to capture him.

Edward was stunned by Lin Feng’s words. Gradually, he understood what Lin Feng was implying. His expression turned dim—it was no longer up to him. Whatever Lin Feng decided would be his fate. Accepting this reality, Edward emerged from the remnants of the God Slayer Mech and approached Lin Feng on his own.
