Chapter 186: Barrett! Blasted to Question Existence! (Part 2)

Of course, he wanted to give it a shot!

Lin Fan took out a 'custom' bullet, frowning slightly, "I don't think this is a suitable place for testing."

"Why?"

Huo Kunlun was puzzled.

"If the power is too great, wouldn't it..."

"Originally, you were worried about this?"

Huo Kunlun smiled, "Sect Lord Lin, you need not worry."

"There won't be any problems!"

"We are all Artificer, very experienced in this aspect."

"Excellent!"

"In this field, we are professionals."

"Though the Fire Virtue Peak is small, it is like a sparrow with all its organs intact. We have layered various formations."

"Moreover, our caves are equipped with special means."

"And there is the Testing Pillar!"

"Though it is only a temporary refinement, the materials used are not too good, barely at the lower Dao Soldier level, but it is very sturdy, equivalent to the full force of a Seventh Realm cultivator's sixth or seventh blow, and it would be hard to damage it."

As they spoke, the Supreme Elder of the Fire Virtue Sect looked at Xiao Ling'er and said, "Of course, a talented individual like Ling'er cannot be included in that category."

"If Ling'er has already reached the Seventh Stage, six or seven layers, her true combat power would likely be at the Eighth Stage."

"As for the Testing Pillar, it's definitely not possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

Xiao Ling'er waved her hands repeatedly, "Elder, you're overpraising me."

"What overpraise? I'm still understating it!" The old elder's hair was white, but his face was serious, "In my opinion, by that time, Ling'er might even have the combat power of the Ninth Stage!"

Xiao Ling'er was embarrassed by the praise.

Lin Fan was secretly amused.

The other elders of the Fire Virtue Sect, including the Supreme Elder, were secretly cursing.

But another Supreme Elder reacted quickly.

Since they had already boasted about her strength, what else could they boast about? He thought for a moment, "It's not just about combat power, in my opinion, Ling'er's fire control technique is truly exceptional!"

"If it weren't for Ling'er's help, even if it's just an ordinary Spirit Artifact, let alone a high-quality growth-type Mother-Child Artifact, it would be difficult to achieve."

"It's indeed the case that the new generation surpasses the old, and the old generation will eventually pass on."

"We're all old, and the future belongs to the young."

"Ling'er will certainly be one of the best, and who can surpass her in the future?"

The Fire Virtue Sect elders were shocked.

Good grief! Wang Yuanshan, the Supreme Elder, was the one who had scolded the most earlier, but now he was also boasting.

They all boasted together, making Xiao Ling'er even more embarrassed.

Her face turned red.

Huo Kun Lun was furious, "What's wrong with you all?!"

"Shut up for the Sect Master!"

At this moment, Lin Fan made a decision, "Since they're so confident, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"Besides, they're all professionals, and I'm just an amateur, so it's better not to question the 'experts'."

"And I'm getting impatient, so let's try it out!"

He smiled slightly, "Let's go to the Testing Pillar?"

"Let's go!"

When it came to testing, everyone was a bit nervous.

They were afraid that they would be too weak and lose face.

They were currently at the Fire Virtue Peak, so it would only take a moment to reach the Testing Pillar.

The Testing Pillar was massive, with a thickness that seemed like a gigantic metal block, three feet in length, width, and height.

Lin Fan thought to himself, "This doesn't look like a pillar at all."

However, he also thought, "But with such thickness, it should be able to withstand a Dao Soldier-level artifact."

"Let's try it with full force!"

Originally, he was going to use the standard bullets to test it, but seeing the thickness of the Testing Pillar, he changed his mind.

He decided to use his full strength.

Just as everyone was watching Lin Fan, he didn't fire the gun immediately.

Instead, he took out a hollow bullet and began to tinker with it.

Zhao Tiezhu was puzzled, "Lin Sect Master, why use this kind of bullet? Although it's still usable, it's far inferior to the standard bullets."

"What's the point of using this?"

Lin Fan shook his head, "It's not that I don't trust you all, but precisely because I trust you, that's why I chose this bullet."

"The details are complicated, and I'll explain later."

Lin Fan held the bullet in one hand and prepared the Artificial Sun Fist with the other, saying, "Are you sure that there won't be any problems if we try it?"

The others nodded confidently, "Of course, there won't be any problems."

Lin Fan smiled, "Then let's try it."

As everyone watched in shock, a small Artificial Sun appeared.

They were stunned, "What's going on? Weren't we supposed to test the Barrett?"

The Artificial Sun was unexpected.

Just then, Wang Teng, who was with the Fire Qilin, sensed the energy of the Artificial Sun Fist and rushed over, "Is the Sect Master going to fight someone?"

As he arrived, he saw Lin Fan shrinking the Artificial Sun to a tiny size.

Then, he further pinched his fingers into a seal, setting up a special array, and pressed this 'little sun' onto the tail end of the bullet.

Suddenly, the scorching heat and dazzling light all disappeared without a trace.

Instead, some array patterns appeared on the tail end of the bullet.

The crowd: "....?!”

Is this for real?

Huo Kunlun and the others exchanged glances, all feeling that something was amiss.

Although they didn't know what Lin Fan was up to, it was clear that he had just used a 'secret technique' to seal that 'little sun' into the bullet!

In other words...

Wouldn't the power be too overwhelming?

But on second thought, it shouldn't be that extreme!

After all, it's just a Spirit Artifact, right?

Lin Fan's lips curled upwards, revealing a smile, "It's done."

"Fortunately, my other self has been pondering this, and this bullet has a suitable array-forging silver as one of its components. Otherwise, it might not have been this easy to succeed."

"Next, it's time to add some extra ingredients to the hollow interior."

Under the gaze of the crowd, a larger Artificial Sun appeared, growing bigger and bigger, brighter and brighter.

It was too dazzling.

Even the Seventh Stage Great Power couldn't help but squint, unable to look directly at it.

The heat was even more terrifying!

The central region's space seemed to be 'melting'.

If it weren't for the Artificial Sun Fist's ability to isolate the heat of nuclear fusion, Lin Fan would have been instantly turned into ashes.

Until...

Lin Fan broke out in a cold sweat, reaching his limit.

"I wonder how much this big sun is equivalent to in terms of hydrogen bomb yield? But..."

"It shouldn't be weak..."

"Seal it!!!"

Whoosh!

The Artificial Sun vanished in an instant.

The crowd opened their eyes.

They still couldn't understand what Lin Fan was up to.

But...

Huo Kunlun vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

This bullet...

Had been enhanced! And it was not as simple as he had imagined.

He sent a sound transmission to his sect's Great Power: "Be cautious, everyone! Don't be careless!"

Jin Zhen: "Sect Master, what do you mean?"

Ma Canlan: "Haha, Sect Master, are you overthinking this? Why be cautious? What's there to be afraid of?"

Wang Yuanshan: "Sect Master, why have you suddenly become so timid?"

Huo Kunlun: "...."

He frowned slightly: "I can't explain it well, but you must not be careless. Everyone, give your full attention to the Sect Master, and be ready to lend your full strength at any moment."

"This is an order!"

The crowd: "...."

They were filled with uncertainty.

If it were a joke or a taunt, they naturally wouldn't have minded.

But with the word 'order', they couldn't afford to be careless.

Immediately, they focused all their attention and lent their full strength.

However, their hearts still puzzled, although Lin Fan's previous display with the small sun was frightening, but... that was the Testing Pillar, and it was so big, how could it not withstand it?

It was at this moment that Lin Fan loaded the bullet into the chamber.

"Huff~~~"

He took a deep breath, not using his divine perception or any other special means to aim.

After all, the distance wasn't too far, and the 'gun' was precise.

At least he had played over fifty shooting games...

"Three."

"Two."

He whispered.

"One."

Bang!!!

The Barrett roared, Lin Fan trembled, and the recoil was so strong, so absurd!

Suppress the gun?

Suppress nothing!

His arms exploded, his shoulders and scapula were riddled with cracks.

Then...

The Barrett's acceleration burst forth!

The small 'hydrogen bomb' at the tail end of the bullet detonated, and the terrifying energy swept through, nearly destroying the chamber. Simultaneously, due to the chamber's confined space, the force of the hydrogen bomb's explosion, combined with the firearm's own firing force, amplified...

The bullet instantly shot out, its speed so fast that even the divine perception of the Seventh Stage Great Power couldn't keep up!

The sound?

It was far, far behind.

"Oh no!"

Huo Kunlun and the others were shocked.

Not to mention anything else, just this speed was enough to frighten anyone.

At this speed, even an ordinary Spirit Artifact could cause immense damage!

What's more...

Was an enhanced bullet?!

But for a moment, they couldn't comprehend.

Clearly, it was a Spirit Artifact they had crafted, so how...

Did they not know that this Barrett could unleash such a terrifying strike?!

Before they could think further, this extremely fast shot directly blasted the Testing Pillar, leaving a bullet hole over three feet deep!!!

"What?"

They were stunned.

Although the bullet had sharp and piercing arrays, equivalent to an armor-piercing round, its power was still too terrifying.

But...

This was just the beginning.

With his arms shattered and shoulders broken, Lin Fan was in shock.

"?"

The crowd was puzzled.

Blast?

What blast?

Suddenly, the Testing Pillar exploded, and the terrifying scene of a sun's explosion rapidly spread.

Huo Kunlun's scalp went numb, and his heart was filled with fear.

"Oh no!"

Jin Zhen and the other Fire Virtue Sect's Great Powers, under Huo Kunlun's command, had been lending their full strength. Now, they were almost frozen in place.

"What?!"

"Quickly, everyone, attack together!"

"We can't let him explode, or the entire Fire Virtue Peak, and even half of the Moon Embrace Sect, will be reduced to rubble!"

They were shocked, numb, and terrified!

Damn!

Is the power this great?!

Lin Fan was surprised, but he too was stunned.

"???"

No, the Barrett's power was impressive, and he was happy about that, but... wasn't it supposed to be absolutely fine?

But didn't you all assure me that there would be absolutely no issues?

This...?

At this moment, there was no time for the others to think further.

The powerful cultivators, including Xiao Ling'er, were the first to respond, using their abilities to counter the terrifying onslaught of the 'Solar Eruption'.

Wang Teng, on the other hand, quickly evacuated the disciples on Fire Virtue Peak who were still unaware of the situation.

The combined strength of the powerful cultivators was formidable.

However, even with their efforts, the defensive shield they created only lasted for a few seconds before completely collapsing, leaving them fully exposed to the terrifying onslaught.

They all raised their magical treasures...

Boom!!!

The eruption was complete.

The scorching sun hung in the sky.

Half of Fire Virtue Peak was devoured, and Xiao Ling'er and the others were all swallowed into it.

Fortunately, their intervention prevented the aftermath from spreading further.

But even so, when the smoke cleared, the devastating scene inside caused Lin Fan to gasp in shock.

Huo Kun Lun and the others looked disheveled, and many of their magical treasures had dimmed and lost their luster.

Half of Fire Virtue Peak was gone!

No matter how many layers of formations they had set up or how many special reinforcements they had applied, at this moment, it all seemed like a joke.

"Isolated..."

Jin Zhen opened his mouth to speak, but instead, he coughed out a puff of black smoke.

Everyone: "..."

They turned their heads with difficulty, looking at Lin Fan with eyes filled with the words 'scared witless'.

The disciples of Moon Embracing Sect, who had heard the commotion and thought it was an invasion, arrived at the scene and were also stunned.

"This..."

"What just happened?"

They were all shocked beyond words.

In the end, Lin Fan was the quickest to react, hurriedly explaining, "Nothing happened. The loud noise was just a result of us testing our magical treasures, and it was due to a momentary mishap."

"Don't worry about it. Everyone, go back and continue your cultivation."

"Yes, Sect Master."

They dispersed, but they all couldn't help but keep looking back.

This scene...

was indeed quite terrifying.

Only Huo Kun Lun, Lian Bo, and the others remained, looking at each other with shock evident on their faces.

To say that this blast was too terrifying and could even kill them in the seventh stage was an exaggeration.

With their speed, they could have easily dodged the final explosion.

The reason they were disheveled and even injured was that they were protecting Fire Virtue Peak and Moon Embracing Sect.

Strictly speaking, this blast wasn't too powerful...

Wait a minute.

No!

In the sky above Fire Virtue Sect, Yun Tian, the Supreme Elder, suddenly exclaimed, "Something's wrong!"

"A single shot from Barrett is enough to kill a seventh-stage cultivator!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Yuanshan frowned. "Although it's indeed powerful, with our speed in the seventh stage, dodging an explosion shouldn't be difficult."

"Dodging the explosion isn't difficult, but what if it was aimed at you or me from the start? The terrifying speed even exceeds our divine perception!"

"If it was aimed at us from the beginning, could you have dodged it?" Yun Tian asked coldly.

Wang Yuanshan's expression changed.

Huo Kun Lun, Lian Bo, and the others also shared the same reaction.

They realized that they had been too careless.

The final explosion wouldn't have killed them, and they could have dodged it.

But...

What if it was aimed at and hit them directly?

What if the final explosion occurred within their bodies?

Could they survive?

The answer was uncertain.

But as they considered the situation, they realized that their chances of survival were likely less than 30%!

"What?!?!"

This realization caused everyone's expressions to change.

This shot shook their confidence, especially for Huo Kun Lun and the others.

They had jointly crafted Barrett, and they should have known better than anyone how powerful it was.

Huo Kun Lun had even worried that Barrett might be too weak, just like the 'iron waste' firearms he had crafted.

But this shot completely stunned him.

A slap in the face?

That was inevitable.

Looking at the disciples of Fire Virtue Peak, who were in disarray and filled with fear, and at the testing pillar that was now in ruins...

The question now was, was this really the magical treasure they had crafted?

Gulp.

Huo Kun Lun swallowed hard, questioning his own abilities.

What...

had gone wrong?

"Haha!"

Lin Fan's heart was filled with joy.

Although he was the most severely injured, with his shoulders shattered and his back riddled with cracks from the recoil, these injuries only made him happier.

"It's too powerful!"

"Even with the Scarecrow's full power, it could kill a seventh-stage cultivator. What if it was the real me?"

"Moreover, if we cultivate Barrett, allowing it to become a Dao Armament or even an Immortal Artifact, how much stronger would it be?"

"It's just a shame..."

"If the enemy is aware and prepared, the threat would be greatly reduced."

"Fortunately, I've already prepared for the next step, such as bullets with tracking formations."

"There's another problem."

"Right now, Barrett is still at the level of a high-grade spirit artifact. If it fires more than three shots, the firing chamber will be damaged unless it's strengthened."

"But with cultivation and growth, its strength should increase."

"As for firing..."

"It's better to control it with divine perception rather than enduring the recoil myself. This recoil is too much to handle."

Lin Fan was delighted.

At this moment, the second happiest person was Wang Teng.

He had comprehended the Artificial Sun Fist for a long time but had never used it in actual combat.

He hadn't even used it at full power before.

But now, seeing its power...

It was wonderful!

This technique was undoubtedly no weaker than the Great Sun Burning Heaven.

It was absolutely invincible!
