At that time, it was Zhou Muxi who timely intervened, otherwise, if Zhang Yanhang had fully maxed out all his buffs and then activated All Four Elements are Void, either he or the continental ice shelf would definitely have faced immediate demise.
While he had Resentment Puppet for protection, at most, he would only collide deeper into the mantle layer, but the continental ice shelf would surely not survive, falling into a massive collapse amid the chain reaction.
When this rubber Nika punch, already at the sixth tier, hit Zhang Yanhang's Energy Shield, it was just as he had predicted—completely... unendurable.
After all, no matter how much he enhanced his defensive power, it was unrealistic to withstand sixth-tier attacks without any bonuses.
In fact, even though Zhang Yanhang currently boosted his defensive power several times relying on Infinite Life, he was at best able to withstand peak fourth-tier attacks. Therefore, to him now, facing sixth-tier attacks from two ranks away was a bit out of reach.
Therefore, after taking this normal attack, his Energy Shield practically felt as if it had been hit by a previous electromagnetic railgun combined special move, instantly dropping over three thousand Shield Value points, with large ripples and patterns appearing on the shield's surface.
Given that a fourth-tier Awakener's Life Value Limit is only 4500 points, even a normal Awakener with his level of defensive strength would be heavily injured or in a critical state from just one normal attack.
Yet this was just a single punch; dozens more fists of the Ancestor Virus infected were coming in sequence, each the size of a large truck, frantically pounding Zhang Yanhang's body.
However, since Zhang Yanhang himself was only twelve meters tall, even though the fists were numerous, only a few could actually hit him, with the others unable to squeeze in.
Nonetheless, even just a few fists led to Zhang Yanhang's Shield Value plummeting, dropping over twenty thousand points on the spot.
Feeling that things could go wrong if this continued, Zhang Yanhang immediately invoked the Indestructible Golden Body Skill, a layer of dazzling golden light appeared over his body.
This layer of dazzling golden light first concentrated and then compressed into a substantial gold foil tightly adhering to Zhang Yanhang's body surface, forming a perfect Golden Body structure that made him appear like a deity statue in a temple.
Once Zhang Yanhang successfully activated the Indestructible Golden Body Skill, the damage from the Ancestor Virus aggregation dropped sharply, as the skill raised his defensive power by twenty-four times, reducing the previously over three thousand points of damage to less than one hundred and fifty points, essentially rendering it negligible to Zhang Yanhang.
Though it was one hundred and fifty points, he effectively further reduced it by seventy-five points due to having three Defense Coins, bringing the damage down to seventy-five points.
Yet at this moment, the fists of the Ancestor Virus aggregation suddenly reverse jointed, with some fists swerving over Zhang Yanhang's head to hit behind him, then more arms separating to strike his left, right, bottom, and above.
It could be said that Zhang Yanhang was being attacked from all six directions without pause, surrounded by the fists of the Ancestor Virus aggregation.
However, only half of the arms were attacking, while the other half stayed on the outskirts, alert for Zhang Yanhang's counterattack.
But Zhang Yanhang, having finally encountered a sixth-tier enemy, was naturally not in a rush to kill it, aiming to observe what stepping into the Divine Stage of the sixth tier's strength was like.
Yet the omnipresent fist shadows were somewhat annoying; though each fist carried only seventy-five points of damage, facing dozens at once, a casual round of attacks could knock down thousands of Shield Value points, coupled with extremely fast punching speed, meant even seventy-five points each would see his shield broken in mere seconds.
Hence, Zhang Yanhang quietly enhanced his defensive power using Spiritual Qi Blessing, effectively doubling it and directly immunizing himself from the fists of the Ancestor Virus aggregation.
As the damage was originally less than one hundred and fifty points, doubling his defensive power again immediately dropped it below seventy-five points, enabling the Defense Coin to let him totally immune to damage below seventy-five points.
Watching the Energy Shield no longer flicker with ripples and patterns, becoming serene again, Zhang Yanhang finally nodded in satisfaction; this seemed more appropriate.
But not long before Zhang Yanhang relaxed, a fist aiming directly at him suddenly opened its palm, and this pale, sticky, sickly large hand tightly embraced his upper body with flickering red light.
"Damn it! That's not fair..."
Before Zhang Yanhang could rage against the betrayal of combat ethics, the pale hand already snapped from the wrist, subsequently exploded, letting Zhang Yanhang immediately understand what nuclear fusion really meant, what New Times Sun Power constituted.
Endless light and heat unfolded before Zhang Yanhang, with vast amounts of gamma rays unseen by the naked eye, visible to the Awakener's energy vision, high-temperature neutron streams, and rampant electromagnetic energy and pulse beams explosively unfurling on Zhang Yanhang's Energy Shield.
But since nuclear fusion's explosion is transient and unsustainable, as the light and thermal radiation rapidly dissipated, a shockwave swiftly followed.
Nonetheless, compared to the main force of nuclear explosion radiation energy, the shockwave could be likened to a post-meal dessert, in other words, whether tasted or not made no difference; to the Energy Shield just withstanding the nuclear explosion, it barely caused any Shield Value reduction, akin to a gentle breeze brushing past one's face.
After all, Zhang Yanhang was now under normal circumstances boasting forty-eight times defensive power; how could mere nuclear fusion explosions and shockwaves annihilate him?
In fact, recently enduring many nuclear explosions had made Zhang Yanhang somewhat accustomed; although previously it was merely nuclear fission, this time was the stronger nuclear fusion, the distinction between an atomic bomb and a hydrogen bomb but ultimately similar; it wasn't that bad.
Thus, for Zhang Yanhang, earlier felt more like taking a massive flashbang, given the forty-eight-fold defensive power increase, and with Defense Coin's bonus, he hadn't lost much Shield Value, barely dropping less than a hundred points.
Because this nuclear explosion was actually just that kind of power, Zhang Yanhang even had the leisure to estimate the yield, which was probably about one million tons, so it was still okay.
Of course, a yield of one million tons is relative. While it was just okay for Zhang Yanhang, in reality, it was already twenty-seven times the combined total of the Fat Man and Little Boy bombs. After all, the former was equivalent to only 22,000 tons and the latter to 15,000 tons. Together, they only amounted to actually 37,000 tons.
Therefore, generally speaking, a yield of one million tons would be absolutely enough to easily destroy a city under normal circumstances. But for Zhang Yanhang, who now had a forty-eight times defensive power, it was just like that, only able to knock off less than a hundred Shield Value points. This level of attack wouldn't matter even if it came a hundred times over.
But perhaps the Ancestor Virus Aggregation sensed Zhang Yanhang's thoughts; before the mushroom cloud could rise, and just as the shockwave appeared, a dozen giant hands flew at super-high speeds at tens of times the speed of sound, enveloping Zhang Yanhang all at once.
But this time, Zhang Yanhang really didn't intend to continue taking it head-on; it truly was just too fast, and even if he wanted to dodge, it would be somewhat challenging.
After all, in his normal state, his Movement Speed was only less than Mach 25. Even with the Spiritual Qi Blessing, it was only Mach 50, while those hands seemed to have nitrogen acceleration and could change their trajectories.
In the end, these more than a dozen pale giant hands slapped onto Zhang Yanhang's body like guided missiles, covering his body completely without a gap, followed immediately by the familiar nuclear fusion explosion.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Massive amounts of light and heat radiation caused the most direct damage to Zhang Yanhang, while the seemingly more sophisticated gamma rays and high-temperature neutron streams accounted for only a small part.
As for the EMP, that thing didn't matter. Even though it's harmful to the human body (exploding at close range can cause chronic diseases and a host of aftereffects), most times it's just used to destroy electronic devices.
If Zhang Yanhang's Energy Shield was broken, he would need to worry slightly about whether the EMP would destroy the Electromagnetic Energy Pump and the Neck Potential Activation Device on him, but with the Energy Shield intact, it really didn't matter.
Furthermore, unless Zhang Yanhang was foolish enough to manifest the Electromagnetic Energy Pump and the Neck Potential Activation Device, even if he were hit by an EMP in a Shield-breaking status, it actually wouldn't cause any trouble.
Of course, if he really encountered that situation, he might be more concerned about his personal safety than whether a few pieces of Equipment were damaged.
Since he had long anticipated subsequent explosions, Zhang Yanhang had already manipulated the Energy Shield to block part of the light transmission efficiency.
Thus, although it was very bright outside, brightly resembling heaven in a movie, and it could indeed physically send someone to heaven, overall, to Zhang Yanhang, it was still just okay. After all, the vast majority of the light radiation was blocked by the Energy Shield, with only a small portion of harmless light radiation acting as a light source entering his vision.
If you ask why he's so skillful, all he can say is that not reducing light transmission efficiency really makes one blind. After all, ordinary people looking from a distance have a high probability of causing permanent direct retinal damage.
While he was directly face-to-face with the nuclear explosion, if he really dared to let in a large amount of light radiation as a light source, given the current power of the nuclear explosion, his relatively fragile retinal tissues could likely not withstand it.
After all, the retina itself doesn't have as high defensive power as muscles or bones.
Moreover, more importantly, his physical defensive power is significantly lower than that of the Energy Shield. To be more precise, it's only about less than half the defensive power of the Energy Shield.
After all, Zhang Yanhang's current technique immunity at Origin Level 6 provides an Energy Shield that can inherit 220% of his own defensive power. Therefore, if even the Energy Shield is being compromised, his physical body performance in this aspect would definitely only be less adept and not more outstanding, so he cannot let in the light radiation.
After being simultaneously bombarded by nuclear explosions with a combined yield of over a thousand megatons from those more than a dozen hands, even Zhang Yanhang's Energy Shield, which was enhanced to forty-eight times defensive power, showed relatively obvious ripples and waves.
In terms of Shield Value, this explosion directly knocked off more than a thousand Shield Value points from him, which is indeed much higher than regular Fist attacks.
But if it's only to this extent, then trying to break his Energy Shield might still be quite far off.
Anyway, Zhang Yanhang felt that perhaps he didn't need to trigger more defensive power-enhancing methods; currently, it should be temporarily sufficient, especially since the Ancestor Virus Aggregation had just entered the Combat Form and hadn't started to congeal Divinity, requiring no higher level of defensive power yet.
As Zhang Yanhang thought so, suddenly another twenty hands flew toward him at speeds tens of times the sound speed.
"Damn it, do you really think I'm giving you face? Just because you have many hands?"
Zhang Yanhang snapped his fingers, and instantly dozens of massive golden fists, the size of trucks, appeared behind him and slammed at hundreds of times the speed of sound onto these hands, which were actually tracking nuclear bombs disguised as hands.
Although the fists created by the Indestructible Golden Body could only inherit a portion of his Attack Power, because the Indestructible Golden Body itself has an Attack Power Bonus, and given its decent speed feature, they were quite excellent in attack performance.
The massive golden fists advanced with fierce momentum; with Zhang Yanhang's Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil assistance, they firmly locked onto the changing flight paths of the nuclear explosion palms and intercepted them successfully midway with even faster speed before the nuclear explosion palms could even fly halfway.
Although the Ancestor Virus Aggregation reacted quickly, attempting to manipulate the palms to grasp the fists created by the Indestructible Golden Body, unfortunately, it might have seriously underestimated Zhang Yanhang's fists. Even if they could only inherit a portion of the Attack Power, the massive Attack Power Bonus from the Indestructible Golden Body could still inflict attacks equivalent to several megatons of yield.
Sensing the bad situation, the nuclear explosion palms flashed red rapidly, seemingly intending to explode in mid-air, but the Golden Body Fist had already pierced through them forcefully with a ferocity of speed at hundreds of times the sound speed first.
