I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 562 - 560 Actually, We are Cultivators
The people of Realm Island were on high alert. Ancient Origin Crystal was a great thing, but it was also very dangerous.
Once destabilized by some external force, an Ancient Origin Crystal could potentially explode violently.
There was once a member from Realm Island who unfortunately encountered a creature of the Heavenly Origin Realm in the jungle. In his panic, he attacked the Ancient Origin Crystal the size of a fingernail that he was carrying with his supernatural abilities.
The crystal exploded violently, and the creature of the Heavenly Origin Realm was enveloped in the blast, leaving no remains.
This incident proved that Ancient Origin Crystals could be used as a very powerful weapon.
They had never seen an Ancient Origin Crystal the size of a fist, and they also didn't know what the red Ancient Origin Crystal represented; their instinct just told them it was very dangerous!
Zhang Menglong fumbled around on the Italian Cannon for a long time, but couldn't find where to insert the Ancient Origin Crystal.
"Damn, how does this thing even work?"
"Holy shit, if you don't know how to use it, why did you bring it out just to show off?" Wang Ling said exasperatedly, "I had my lines ready, pants down, and you just stand there? Aren't you embarrassed?"
"As long as I'm not embarrassed, the embarrassed ones are you guys!" Zhang Menglong laughed, "Wait a sec, let me find the manual!"
...
"Teacher, do you think maybe we're being too nervous?"
"Maybe? This thing doesn't seem very powerful at all."
"Maybe we're just making a big deal over nothing. How could any weapon possibly break through our barrier?"
"Exactly, it's so inconvenient to use, you can tell it's not high-tech."
Watching Zhang Menglong operate, the people of Realm Island somehow felt an inexplicable sense of safety.
...
"Forget it, let's not bother!" Zhang Menglong directly retrieved the manual using the Dean's ring, and finally found a switch.
"Click!" An energy slot popped out from the Italian Cannon, revealing a hollow sufficient to place the Level Four Crystal Core.
Zhang Menglong inserted the Crystal Core into the machinery behind the barrel, and instantly, a red light spread out, this force, ten times stronger than when the Wusi assaulted the barrier...
"Woof woof woof!" Wang Cai barked at the Italian Cannon, the highly sentient dog aware of how powerful the device was.
Wusi also trembled and hid behind Wang Cai, as if in the face of this immense power, only his boss Wang Cai could offer him some semblance of safety.
Zhang Menglong had seen how terrifying 40 units of energy could be before; when he had used Yao Chen's power to take down Hui Jie Yan second, the guy had energy as high as 42 units.
But this was essentially the huge difference between technological weapons and human cultivation, in terms of imposingness, technological weapons were far more terrifying!
"Back up! Everyone retreat quickly!" Tong Xiao shouted loudly, as a Martial Artist of the Heavenly Origin Realm, no one could sense the terrifying power in the cannon more than him.
When did humans invent such a horrifying weapon? He was on the island just five or six years ago, had human weaponry advanced so much in just a short span of five or six years?
Could this be the legendary technological explosion?
"Could this barrier actually be broken?" For the first time, Tong Xiao doubted the strength of Realm Island's barrier.
"Everyone, cover your ears, we're firing!"
Zhang Menglong was the first to pull Lu Yiyao behind a large tree a few dozen meters away.
According to the manual of the Italian Cannon, when using a Level Four or higher Crystal Core, individuals who haven't reached the Heavenly Origin Realm must stay over twenty meters away.
"Fuck! You could've said that earlier!" Wang Ling also hurriedly grabbed Jiang Qiyuan and ran.
"Woof woof woof!" (Little brother, follow big brother!)
...
The red light grew brighter, enveloping everything within a 10-meter radius.
Moments later, accompanied by a deafening blast, the entire barrel emitted a fierce vibration, and even the ground split open with numerous fine cracks.
A huge red energy beam shot directly towards the barrier.
"Boom!"
It seemed as if the entire Realm Island was trembling. The invisible barrier was stirred by the power of the Italian Cannon, creating layers of red ripples. The strong energy gnawed at the barrier, emitting a creaking sound.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the sky.
The crack quickly expanded, widened, and then spread across the entire island, as if it could shatter completely at any moment.
The roaring of the Italian Cannon lasted for a full 10 seconds, until the energy was completely depleted, and the red light slowly extinguished.
At this moment, above the entire Realm Island, the barrier was refracted by a red force. It had become extremely fragile, as if it only needed another hit to completely break.
"Rumble!" A loud noise came from deep within the Realm Island, and then, the crack began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye!
But no one knew that on the central ancient tree, thousands of meters tall, large swathes of leaves began to wither.
Since humans had arrived on Realm Island, this ancient tree had never withered.
The power of the barrier stemmed from that ancient tree; it was using its own power to repair the barrier!
At this time, no one on Realm Island could remain calm. Tong Wei's arms and legs were trembling. That last shot had almost broken the barrier of Realm Island!
But fortunately, their Guardian God did not disappoint them. The barrier had held up, helping them block this terrifying attack.
"This thing is really powerful!" Zhang Menglong couldn't help but exclaim. An energy impact of 40 units, even a small town could be leveled, yet it was actually blocked by this barrier.
"You've tried as well, your power cannot break this barrier. Give up!"
"Who said we can't break it?" Zhang Menglong then pulled out ten Level Four energy crystals and one Level Five energy crystal core from his body. These items could be returned to the Super God Academy for Cred Points if not used.

"Ten... he still has ten of those Ancient Origin Crystals?" At this moment, Tong Wei, who had just been gloating, was stunned.
The power unleashed by one red Ancient Origin Crystal had almost shattered their Realm Island's barrier; what would ten times that amount do, shatter the entire space?
Especially that black Ancient Origin Crystal, even though it was a hundred meters away, he could feel a power filled with death and destruction emanating from it.
"This is probably even more terrifying than the red one!"
"Never mind, using this seems a bit pointless!" At this moment, Zhang Menglong actually put away the Italian Cannon and all the energy crystal cores.
"What are you doing? Why are you putting them away?" Wang Ling asked curiously.
"I think, the matters of the Ancient Martial Arts World should be resolved in the way of the Ancient Martial Arts World. What's the point in using high-tech weapons?"
"That makes some sense," Wang Ling nodded his head, "So what do you plan to do?"
Zhang Menglong stepped forward, twisted his neck, making a crackling sound.
"Didn't you just ask from whom I learned?" Zhang Menglong said to Tong Xiao, "I indeed am self-taught, but you might not know, my study wasn't in ancient martial arts."
"Not ancient martial arts? Are you a Psychic or a Mutant then?"
Everyone knows that one cannot achieve proficiency in ancient martial arts quickly.
But Psychics are different. Some people with unique physiques might have the power of an Ancient Martial Artist who's trained for decades when activating their Supernatural Abilities.
Maybe Zhang Menglong is a freak!
"No!" Zhang Menglong shook his head, "Actually, we practice cultivation."
"Have you ever heard the saying, 'those who practice martial arts should never mess with cultivators'?"
"Sorry, but unfortunately, you've messed with one!"
