Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

An abandoned island in Southeast Asia's nuclear explosion.

Su Jie emerged from the building ruins, the roaring, gigantic mushroom cloud right before his eyes, soaring thousands of meters high, emanating an apocalyptic aura. The terrifying shockwave and thermal radiation could instantaneously kill any normal human.

Fortunately, Su Jie was not an ordinary human. As Blue Star's only Transcendent, Su Jie possessed the confidence to face humanity's most powerful weapon head-on.

While others tested the power of nuclear weapons using various observational equipment and studying the destructive effects post-explosion, Su Jie chose to engage directly.

The cheering Chan Country's citizens outside were all watching Su Jie's broadcasted speech on television, feeling exhilarated and overjoyed. In reality, it was just a pre-recorded video. Their great Supreme Leader had long since personally come to the abandoned island where the nuclear test was conducted, experiencing the power of the nuclear explosion firsthand with his flesh and blood.

Glancing at his half-melted body, Su Jie felt a tinge of emotion, "Indeed, my physical body still can't withstand being at the center of a nuclear explosion! I'd estimate that only upon reaching the Purple Mansion Realm could I be completely unscathed."

During the previous nuclear explosion, Su Jie avoided the very center of the blast region; the intense heat and overpressure there were something Su Jie could not withstand.

Su Jie had already made a judgment that if hit in the center of the nuclear explosion, his entire body would be vaporized. While the Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill does allow for Blood Dripping Rebirth, there still needs to be a drop of blood left.

To completely ignore humanity's strongest weapon, one would need to advance to the Great Power of the Purple Mansion to be absolutely confident.

However, the nuclear bomb now posed almost no threat to Su Jie, given his mobility. As long as he didn't act recklessly, staring unflinchingly as the center of the nuclear explosion unfolded, just avoiding the very center, Su Jie wouldn't encounter any danger.

For Su Jie, that small area at the nuclear explosion center wasn't a threat; the missile launching the nuclear weapon couldn't fly faster than him. Whether dodging, burrowing, or slicing the missile carrying the nuclear warhead with a Flying Sword, or directly unleashing the Blood Sea, the nuclear bomb's most lethal damage simply couldn't cover him thanks to the vast Blood Sea he commanded. Such feats were effortlessly accomplished by Su Jie, and anything that couldn't kill him, Su Jie wouldn't fear in the slightest, just like now.

With a mere thought, Su Jie regenerated his half-melted body, pale fingers wriggling beneath the skin and flesh, blood transforming into new bones and flesh, fully healing within a few breaths.

With the Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill at his disposal, the minor harm from a nuclear explosion was merely a gentle breeze caressing his face for Su Jie.

Gazing once more at the mushroom cloud before him, Su Jie didn't linger, turning away to leave the deserted island, instantly diving into the ocean.

..........

Pacific Ocean, Mariana Trench!

This is at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, northeast of Luzon, near the Mariana Islands, stretching from the north at Iwo Jima to the southwest near Yap Island, spanning 2,550 kilometers, with its deepest point reaching 11 kilometers, making it the deepest known spot in the ocean globally.

If Mount Everest were placed at the trench's bottom, the peak wouldn't break the surface, showcasing the trench's profound depth.

In such a high-pressure, pitch-black, and icy world, among Blue Star's most hostile environments, it has always been a life-forbidden zone where few animals are seen. The familiar shrimp, squids, octopuses, squid, and sperm whales cannot survive beyond three thousand meters depth. Only small fish about the size of a hand, due to their unique body structure, can grow collectively in the deep-sea coral forest and on Column Star Polyps, but even they can only live around eight thousand meters; as for beyond eight thousand meters, there have been no discovered fish living there.

The deep sea has always been vast and mysterious to humanity, with the understanding and knowledge of the deep sea being less than one-tenth of that of the Earth's surface.

Yet, in just such a life-forbidden zone, at ten thousand meters depth in the Mariana Trench, signs of life activity have now appeared.

On the sea's surface, accompanied by a loud rumble, waves surged wildly, with Su Jie, wielding the Divine Firm Sword, diving into the deep sea. The water pressure capable of compressing and exploding a human body didn't affect him in the slightest.

Reaching the seabed at ten thousand meters, Su Jie paused his actions.

In the pitch-black deep sea where one shouldn't be able to see their hand, now there was a source of light. Multicolored halos shone through the seawater, providing unprecedented brightness to this dark world.

The source of the radiance was a structure that shouldn't have existed there.

It was an enormous island structure suspended above the sea floor, with a gigantic Yin Yang Stele at its center. The stele soared a hundred zhang high, inscribed with ancient runes emitting a soft, cold light, serving as the source of the underwater illumination.

The island was exceptionally grand, with an overall structure resembling a gigantic turtle shell, divided into two distinctly colored regions in a yin-yang Tai Chi Diagram manner, forming a white and a black area.

In the east, Golden Ganoderma and Jade Grass were growing, Sweet Liquid Jade flowing, ancient trees towering into the sky, with hints of gold-tiled, magnificent palaces visible, ancient bells hanging high, and countless Treasure Light radiating everywhere. The grand Tao Heavenly Sound drifted with the wind, resembling an underwater fairyland.

In the west, miasma continuously rose, permeating a twisted architectural complex immersed in seawater. This complex was built with countless uneven gigantic stones, black and grand, adorned with dazzling carvings and twisted talismanic scripts, the corridors and steps covered in slippery moss. Amid the surging seawater, odd howls echoed, with strong, malevolent, unclean auras enveloping the entire architectural complex.
