Chapter 550: 550. The Test Subject Delivered to our Doorstep (Part Two)
Lu Yao happily accepted several unmanned tanks when suddenly an F35 flew overhead. Without saying a word, it released all of its JDAM guided bombs and JSM cruise missiles onto him.
Compared to the attack, it seemed more like a show of force.
In a matter of seconds, Lu Yao briefly shifted positions multiple times, leaving the futile explosions behind him.
"I didn't expect the Oya Federation to be so tough. Just because they made a centaur, they dared to go all out against me as soon as I arrived."
Lu Yao brandished his Blade of Freedom and with a flick of his wrist, he attempted to use electromagnetic acceleration.
Ghostly blue electric arcs flickered as the magical treasure instantly broke the sound barrier and fired off, precisely intercepting the F35 and blowing it to pieces 2 kilometers up in the sky, scattering its parts.
Lu Yao nodded in satisfaction, "The Thunder Tribulation Realm really is marvelous, it has given my combat strength a qualitative boost! Not just in close combat, but even my control over magical treasures has skyrocketed."
The destruction of the F35 seemed to be a signal, and the Oya Federation's National Defense Army's 2nd Division immediately launched an attack on Lu Yao.
Dozens of M1A2 tanks and infantry fighting vehicles roared as their main cannons fired fiercely!
At the same time, the Royal Air Force deployed 10 F35s in one go!
For a moment, cannon fire whistled and missiles roared, staging a heavy firepower display on Blue Star that had rarely been seen in recent years, with gunpowder and dust filling the sky.
And in such a scene, Lu Yao... couldn't have asked for more!
The previous moves were just warm-up, this grand stage was the main course, perfectly suited for him to fully understand the Thunder Tribulation Realm!
With a raise of his hand, the Willpower Golden Dragon instantly appeared, roaring majestically with its head held high, and then winding around its master.
With this enhancement, Lu Yao's pupils instantly dilated, hot True Qi spurted from his seven orifices, and dragon-shaped flames rose from his body.
"I was just thinking, I wanted to try out the effect of the double enhancement of Mind Projection and the Willpower Golden Dragon!"
At that moment, cannonballs exploded beside him, and the shockwave carrying shrapnel and soil was about to hit him!
In that instant, Lu Yao's body flickered with a ghostly blue electric arc, pulverizing the ground beneath his feet and with a sonic boom cloud, he burst out!
He had already reached the speed of sound, flinging the air-breaking boom behind him!
The Oya Federation's National Defense Army's tanks and infantry fighting vehicles had never considered facing targets moving at supersonic speeds since their development.
The fire control system had completely lost sight of Lu Yao, and they could only fire blindly in panic.
The fighter jets above barely managed to track the target, but the bombs and cruise missiles they dropped were easily dodged by Lu Yao from the core explosion area, creating only spectacular light and shadow effects.
In a few breaths' time, Lu Yao had already charged forward, slamming into the side of a wheeled armored vehicle with inertia.
Amidst the piercing boom, the armored vehicle was crushed and distorted, tumbling through the air.
And with a flash of a ghostly blue electric arc, Lu Yao vanished, only to reappear behind an M1A2 tank.
There, the armor was only 25 millimeters thick, thin enough to be penetrated by a heavy machine gun.
Lu Yao unleashed "Tathagata Palm: Buddha Shakes the Mountains and Rivers" with force greater than a 120mm caliber cannon, immediately blasting a basin-sized hole in it.

The tank's engine was instantly rendered useless, but that wasn't all! The kinetic energy of the powerful "Tathagata Divine Palm" turned into potential energy, causing a violent explosion.
The rear of the tank was in a mess, billowing with black smoke. The crew inside tried to open the hatch to escape, but in the next second, they were engulfed in a horrific sympathetic explosion.
By that time, less than 10 seconds had passed since Lu Yao engaged them, and already two vehicles were destroyed.
All of the tanks immediately reversed, with the panicked vehicle commanders communicating, "I can't see the target! Repeat, I can't see the target!"
Seeing how vulnerable the rear of the tanks was, Lu Yao decided not to approach them but instead use the force of his palms to remotely destroy them.
He took advantage of his superior speed to circle behind the tanks, raising his hand and launching two "Regret of the Dragon" palm strikes.
The equivalent of two 120mm cannonballs, the mere 25 millimeters of armor stood no chance, the tanks were rendered immobile even without the sympathetic explosion.
After scrapping five tanks this way, Lu Yao discovered that the top armor of the tank turrets was also only 25 millimeters thick, and that was where the cannonballs were stored!
With a light leap, he jumped over the tanks, casually delivering two palm strikes as he passed.
Two semi-transparent palm strikes whistled out like cannonballs, hitting the top of the turrets and triggering brilliant explosions.
At the same time, Lu Yao discovered that—Mind Projection could also be used to cast separation martial techniques.
Thus, he executed the "Dragon Subduing Palm" himself while the more cumbersome "Tathagata Divine Palm" was performed by the Mind Projection behind him.
```
One after another, translucent white bursts of energy shot out, hitting tanks in their weakest spots with the terrifying whizz of cannonballs.
The Oya Federation's tanks and infantry fighting vehicles were transformed into dazzling fireworks that soared into the sky.
Seeing the armored units nearing annihilation, the Royal Air Force, no longer concerned about the surviving tanks on the ground, boldly opened fire on Lu Yao.
But it only served to prove that explosives below nuclear grade could not harm him at all.
Lu Yao's current physical condition meant that as long as he wasn't embracing a missile when it exploded, at worst, he'd be blown away by the blast wave.
Up to now, apart from his clothes being torn, he was unscathed. Instead, another five supersonic Magical Treasures had taken down five more fighter jets.
The Air Force was made up of precious elites. The remaining five jets dared not continue the fight and fled in panic.
And with the surrender of the remaining armored units, the war also entered its final phase.
In front of Lu Yao, tanks were nothing but metal coffins, and to boot, they came with an auto-cremation feature.
The surviving crew turned off their vehicles, emerged with hands raised, and faces filled with despondency, as if their hearts were utterly broken.
Someone muttered, "Why did we have to go to war with such a monster..."
Lu Yao didn't pay them any mind and deactivated his double-boosted state.
Though powerful, maintaining it for too long was quite draining on his body.
"My physique has become a bottleneck. It's time for a serious upgrade," he said.
At that moment, he felt somewhat grateful to the Oya Federation's military for providing this rare opportunity to test himself.
Otherwise, figuring it out on his own would have taken who knows how long.
After all the turmoil, the entire Oya Federation's willpower had turned into pure negativity.
However, Lu Yao didn't care. Compared to Blue Star's billions of inhabitants, the mere twenty-something million here were insignificant.
~~~~~~~~~
Next, Lu Yao took to the skies and headed towards the capital of the Oya Federation.
He hadn't gone far when his phone rang; it was Wang Guowei's number.
Upon answering, the voice on the other end said,
"Mr. Lu Yao, the Oya side is requesting our mediation. They claim the war was started by a general acting on his own. They will deal with him severely and wish to offer you their sincere apologies."
Lu Yao said, "If apologies were useful, what use would armies be? We need to teach them a lesson. Oh, speaking of which, I have a couple of unmanned tanks here. Could you help me hack into them?"
The response was immediate, "Do they have Electromagnetic Cannons and lasers? No problem."
"I'll head over after I take care of things here," Lu Yao hung up and continued on his way.
He flew to a white, sailboat-like building by the sea, the Royal Opera House.
It was just past noon, the sun was high, and people on the ground saw Lu Yao floating in the air.
Some took out their phones to film, some pointed and hurled curses, and a few clever ones quickly put distance between themselves and the location.
It was here that Lu Yao conducted his final test—the beam attack from the Creation Immortal Boat he used during his fight with Xu Fu.
This move was terrifyingly energy-intensive, and of course, he had to test it in an environment like Blue Star, which was abundant in willpower, to understand the principles.
The Creation Immortal Boat, covering the sky and overshadowing the sun, appeared and the people on the ground scattered like ants, soon leaving the place completely deserted.
Originally, the Fairy Boat was difficult to maneuver due to insufficient cultivation level, but after reaching the Thunder Tribulation Realm, that sluggishness disappeared, and piloting it became somewhat effortless and intuitive.
With a mere thought, the Willpower Golden Dragon twisted around the Creation Immortal Boat, forming a dragon-shaped ram, followed by the gathering of a blue energy sphere in front of it.
A thick beam of blue particles shot out, striking the Royal Opera House directly.
Its materials instantly melted and even vaporized, the sudden pressure increase leading to a violent explosion. The mixture of ionization-produced plasma blasted fiercely in all directions.
After just three seconds, this renowned cultural monument was reduced to a deep pit rolling with magma.
Lu Yao smacked his lips; this particle beam weapon was complex in principle. According to Xu Fu, it was standard "Sun God Spell" material, which he had barely grasped.
"I'll need to find a chance to fire it a few more times."
