The Genius System Without Equal

Chapter 854: Fireball

“Nine Sky Engulfing Phoenix!”

A sphere of holy aura enshrouded Su Li as her four-word mantra rang across the sky. Her glowering eyes expressed an intense desire to kill as she glared at Saiki. Her entire body emanated a raging force that swept through the air. It crushed the remaining trees on the ground in a flash and sent wood debris flying all over the place.

SCREECH!

Nine dazzling phoenixes suddenly appeared and attacked Saiki furiously with their sharp claws. Each of them had a long tail formed of light, resembling the tail of a shooting star. The sky shook and vibrated as they soared through the air, sending violent energy waves that shook even the Xiahai Survivor Base, tucked far away in the remote mountainous area.

“Oh, my God, what are those?”

“Nine phoenixes shining in Divine Light? What kind of power is that?”

“This world is just too strange and too crazy!”

The survivors looked up at the sky in awe, deeply shocked at what they were witnessing.

“Chief…”

Liu Yiyao and Si Yueting worried for Xiao Luo. The power they had just witnessed exceeded their expectations.

Anxiously, the government officials and NSA executives in the Jiangcheng secret base observed the real-time video transmitted by satellite at the meeting hall. The battle scene at Xiahai City was playing on the screen.

Could such attacks wipe out our Human race?

Everyone felt troubled and worried as the prowess of the Alien race had far exceeded predictions. Su Li’s double identity as a celebrity and a top-level martial arts practitioner came as a shock to everyone. But the officials and the NSA executives were more concerned about the invasion by the Alien race. They urgently needed to come up with a solution to defeat the Aliens and solve the crisis that could end humanity forever.

The nine Divine Phoenixes crashed into Saiki together in a coordinated strike…

BANG!

A massive detonation ripped across the sky, forming a mushroom cloud. The deafening explosion made the Four Kings and Xiao Luo’s ears ring. A burst of intense heat followed the energy storm that swept through the sky and put fear into everyone’s heart.

The extreme heat created ripples that distorted space. A nearby mountain with its peak rising above the clouds was instantly incinerated. The heatwave destroyed everything in its path. It was so hot that it melted everything instantly. Nothing was spared.

In the Xiahai Survivor Base, everyone stared at the passing heatwave in horror. Although they were at least a dozen kilometers away from it, the high temperature still made everyone sweat profusely.

Meanwhile, at the center of the explosion, there was dead silence. The Four Kings and Xiao Luo swallowed their saliva nervously and anxiety grew deep in their hearts. If the massive explosion had occurred at a lower altitude, they would all have incinerated.

Although Su Li had contained her full power, every tree within a radius of some thousand meters had burned, and the scorching temperature had turned the land barren and red. The land surface was twice hotter than a desert, and hot air rose from the ground in waves.

After executing the phoenix formation, Su Li was breathing heavily as she had given it everything. It was expected that her strength would be depleted temporarily.

In the aftermath, she stared at the center of the explosion. The horrifying energy from the Nine Sky Engulfing Phoenixes was gradually dissipating, and the shattered space was coming together again, as the rules of nature once again took hold. It was an apocalypse. Everything in sight had charred—the picture of a dystopian world destroyed by invading aliens.

Despite activating a Level 50 energy barrier, Saiki only prevented himself from being completely incinerated. His body had broken up into a myriad of shards silently floating in the air.

“Damn it!”

Once she caught sight of the shards, Su Li immediately knew that she did not destroy the alien. She clenched her teeth in frustration.

Tring!

The floating shards suddenly glowed like golden light and rapidly merged—then once again, Saiki reappeared in his gleaming armor, completely unharmed.

He gazed into Su Li’s eyes and said, “So that was the Nine Sky Engulfing Phoenix. It is a powerful weapon. The temperature from that blast is almost comparable to the star that lights up your planet. If I had not maximized my barrier protection to the highest level, I am afraid that you would have killed me just now.”

High temperature?

So, the Alien is afraid of high temperatures!

The Four Kings and Xiao Luo noted it as well. What if they could push him off to the sun? Would that be enough to kill him? However, the method was impractical as Saiki could deconstruct his body into particles the size of atoms. Not even the sealing technique had worked on him. So it looked like there was no way they go with that strategy.

It seemed that Saiki was not afraid to expose his weakness at all. He smiled at Su Li, and said, “If the temperature is high enough, it can melt everything, including atoms. The rise of any civilization begins with the creation of fire. Therefore, it regulates temperature and can destroy everything, including civilization itself. It is a paradox, but paradoxes are the key elements of forming a universe.”

“Nobody is interested in your devilish preaching!”

Su Li smiled icily. She summoned her flying swords to her side, then projected them out like lightning bolts.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

They streaked into the Level 50 energy barrier but were deflected off. The swords then vanished as if they had never appeared.

Saiki raised his eyebrows and continued, “You are right. None of you would understand such complex concepts. It is pointless explaining them to you. You cannot activate the Nine Sky Engulfing Phoenix without rest, correct? My data here shows that your energy has fallen below thirty percent. You were at ninety-five percent before that. That move used up a lot of your True Inner Force, right?”

Su Li frowned and glared at him wilfully. She was at a complete loss for words and clenched her teeth hard.

“I have faced your Nine Sky Engulfing Phoenix head-on. Now, it is my turn to return you the big favor.”

Saiki smiled as he raised his right hand, and a tiny ball of destructive energy appeared at his fingertip. He concentrated on the ball, turning it from a scorching fireball into a giant ball of fire six meters in diameter.

It had the same scorching temperature as the one he had just experienced. Saiki cast it at Su Li and she flinched.

SWOOSH!

The giant fireball hurtled through the sky silently, not even creating any sound as it traveled extremely speed before hitting Su Li directly on her body.

BOOM!

When it struck Su Li, a catastrophic explosion blasted through the area, sending waves of destructive energy across the land. An infinity void formed in space, and a massive crater appeared at the center of the explosion. Its diameter measured a hundred zhang with a depth of a hundred meters. Large cracks formed around the edge of the crater, large enough to fit a person through it.

Everyone who had witnessed it through the satellite transmission gasped in horror. The expression on their faces changed instantly.

“This Alien is just too powerful for us. He is invincible.”

“We are done for. The entire human race is doomed.”

“Heaven, why are you doing this to us? What wrong have we done?”

Fear and despair spread amongst the government executives around the world. The Alien’s supreme power had mentally crushed them. Regardless of the nationality, they all knew what was in store for them when they witnessed the fireball.
