CHAPTER 588: 588. TRANSCENDENT GRANTING

Wu Xu radiated an oppressive aura that was significantly greater than that caused by erosion, truly a formidable foe.

On top of that indescribable "Primordial," Lu Li had no clue what lay ahead on his path.

Therefore, for this return, he needed to secure a retreat for his Mother Star and his people.

For a long time, Lu Li had been cautious about the spread of Transcendent powers.

A whole bunch of little Supermen fearless of bullets and bombs would definitely have a violent impact on social order, and humanity could very well doom itself.

But the universe operates on the naked law of the jungle, advocating survival of the fittest; without power, one truly becomes cattle.

Light Elves were the most typical example, constantly used as labor and food reserves.

If Blue Star didn’t want to end up like that one day, it had to have the strength for self-protection.

The spread of Transcendent abilities could be scheduled, but Lu Li was not a "nanny," and neither was it something for just anyone to qualify for.

"I need to deliberate on this further... First, I’ll go back and enhance Jessica and Teresa’s realms."

The Yang God Immortal Venerable could manipulate the microscopic world, easily elevating the life level of ordinary people, most importantly without any side effects.

Having decided, Lu Li said to his wives:

"Don’t worry about the Spirit Plants for now. I need to go back for a bit, and you ladies should go have some fun too."

Naturally, the women wanted to enjoy modern society and were immediately excited.

Especially Su Qing, who missed out last time, needed to make up for it properly.

Lu Li immediately summoned the Kunlun Mirror and initiated the Cross-border Divine Skills.

One by one, everyone entered and in the blink of an eye, returned to the Blue Planet.

The phones they bought last time only Wanqing brought with her in the Spirit Realm.

Lu Li lifted his hand and merged atoms to form plastic, metal, and circuit boards, conjuring seven phones out of thin air.

"Take these and have fun, I won’t be accompanying you. I have two Red Beauties who need a bit of care."

Lu Li had relationships in both worlds; having women on Blue Star was normal, and his wives understood this.

Those that mattered to Lu Li were undoubtedly true Red Beauties.

His wives said nothing and took the phones to go on a shopping spree in the big cities.

Meanwhile, Lu Li flew towards Mo City. New Year’s Day was approaching, and Jessica and Teresa had returned to Moxico.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened: Someone actually attacked the two girls!?

-----------------

The relationship between the two girls and Lu Li was well-known; only a madman would dare to provoke them.

Yet, those who launched the attack were precisely a group of madmen.

After the fall of the Star Alliance Country, it fragmented into dozens of smaller nations, but the remnants die hard; there was no shortage of old and young who longed for the empire’s former glory.

They loathed Lu Li but knew they couldn’t do anything to him, so they sought to unleash their fury on those Lu Li cared about.

At this moment, in Mexico City, Central Plaza.

A yellow-skinned man with a fierce face wickedly eyed a group of young students.

"They’re here; both primary targets are present."

"Begin the operation! Let that so-called god know that arbitrariness has its price!"

A group of Star Alliance remnant descendants with varying skin colors moved with the crowd towards a group of young students.

They were from Xia Country Capital University, classmates of Jessica and Teresa, traveling here for vacation.

As hosts, Jessica and Teresa naturally accompanied them, with Terminator bodyguards on the perimeter.

The group chatted and laughed, utterly unable to imagine someone daring to attack.

Yet the unexpected occurred: the man with the fierce face got within 20 meters and suddenly pulled out an "AK74U" from behind his back!

The compact assault rifle was incredibly covert, and two white accomplices also brandished the same weapons, aiming at Jessica and Teresa.

The greatest drawback of a puppet was their slow reaction; they simply couldn’t keep up.

As the trigger was about to be pulled and screams from the crowd were about to erupt, Jessica’s eyes began to sparkle with starlight!

Lu Li had long ago helped the young girl to reach the "Marrow Cleansing Realm" in preparation for such situations.

In the blink of an eye, Jessica dashed forward, shattering the floor tiles and appeared in front of the fierce Asian man’s face, delivering a "Wandering Dragon Shock" straight to his face.

With a loud bang, her fist exploded the man’s head, splattering gray matter everywhere.

At the same moment, starlight flashed in Teresa’s eyes as well, and she leaped out, blowing apart the head of one of the white men.

Lu Li had Jessica "teach" and now it seemed to be the right decision; the Golden Canary had attained the "Refining Internal Organs" cultivation.

Female martial artists were known for their agility. The events unfolded in an instant, by the time the remaining third enemy had his trigger halfway pulled.

Jessica’s arm jerked violently, unleashing a white Qi Force that shot across twenty meters of distance, chopping the man’s neck off as if with an axe.

The three bodies fell almost simultaneously within the same second, the cries of the crowd stuck in their throats, making for a very peculiar chorus.

Central Plaza was a tourist attraction where nearly everyone held a mobile phone, recording the scene as it unfolded.

Jessica was unconcerned, her only worry for her classmates, "Are you all okay..."

Before she could finish, her expression changed drastically as she shifted her body with explosive force.

A .50 caliber bullet grazed her shoulder and struck the ground, the immense kinetic energy turning clods of earth into shrapnel, overturning four or five people in screams of agony.

"Damn it!"

Jessica was furious, her pretty face flushed red as she dashed towards a tall building.

There was a sniper up top, but by the time he had worked the bolt of his rifle, Jessica was already at the bottom of the building.

Her sprinting speed was up to 40 meters per second, and in a leap, she jumped five stories, her whip punch collapsing the sniper’s chest cavity.

Organ fragments spewed from his mouth as he gave a strange smile.

A flash of starlight in Jessica’s eyes, her inner breath surged through her body to its limit, and with a "somersault," she flipped off the rooftop.

A loud boom echoed as the rooftop exploded, having been rigged with bombs.

Unfortunately for them, Jessica’s Refining Spirit Meditation had allowed her to predict danger, and not even a single hair on her was harmed.

But the blast wave flipped over more people, filling the area with cries of pain, resulting in significant injuries and casualties.

Jessica’s face bore a bitter expression, about to go help the injured... when she suddenly froze!

There, her husband appeared out of nowhere, smiling and applauding her.

"You did well. You’re even more talented than I imagined, and Teresa is impressive, too."

Lu Li had been there all along, everything under control.

With a casual wave of his hand, a vast wave of Divine Thought surged forth.

The bullet-damaged floor healed itself;

The bomb-ravaged rooftop quickly restored and closed up before their eyes;

And the injured people had pieces of stones and bullet fragments fly out from their bodies, their wounds healing in an instant!

In barely 10 seconds, everything was back to normal as if nothing had happened at all.

But the videos captured on cell phones remained, hailed as... a miracle!

Foreigners are particularly superstitious, and they began kneeling and praying to Lu Li there and then.

Lu Li paid them no attention, taking Jessica and Teresa by the hand and vanishing in an instant.

But this was just the beginning of a landslide; the internet was already in an uproar:

"Extraordinary power really can be taught through cultivation! The movements of those two Westerners were clearly Xia Country fist techniques!"

"They must have received the cultivation method, even Westerners can do it, why won’t Lu God teach us as well?"

"This affects all humanity, it shouldn’t be kept so private."
