I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal

Chapter 519: Chapter 318: Omen Blade—Radiation Mace_2

More importantly, Chen Yun understood that ordinary descendants might be unable to comprehend the path he was pursuing or face the challenges and sense of loneliness brought about by immortality with him.

Therefore, when his mother brought up the topic of his future companion, Chen Yun considered finding a partner who could resonate with him on a spiritual level.

It’s just that,

such people essentially did not exist.

At least up to this point, they did not exist.

Chen Yun’s future path had a high probability of being one he would walk alone.

As a result, he changed the subject,

and redirected his mother’s interest towards the small talk about family affairs.

While tasting the breakfast his mother had meticulously prepared, he listened to her incessantly prattle about the neighbors’ family matters,

Yet his mind had already drifted far away, pondering where to explore for unknown secrets next.

The atmosphere at the dining table was warm and lively; his father and brother were discussing the possible directions the plot of a TV show from last night could take, while his mother occasionally interjected, reminding them to look after their health and not to stay up late.

Although Chen Yun didn’t contribute much, he relished the warmth from his family that he could not feel while being outside.

After the meal, Chen Yun helped clean up the dishes and then sat in the living room to chat with his family.

Despite his inner desire to embark on his journey again, he wanted to spend as much time with them as possible before leaving, for such opportunities were rare.

...

In the afternoon,

after leaving Bai Jin at home,

Chen Yun once again arrived at a deserted place and shot straight into the sky.

Though his action triggered numerous alerts and concerns, afraid that this god of slaughter was about to do something frightful again, in fact, he wasn’t going out to massacre a whole clan.

He wasn’t some devil.

Since the Black Tide Alliance was already resolved,

He likely wouldn’t act rashly for quite some time.

The purpose of this outing was simple:

It was to check out an interesting item he stumbled upon the previous night while destroying the headquarters of a branch of the Black Tide Alliance.

As he moved, a powerful airflow burst forth instantly, and he soared into the sky like an arrow released from its bow.

Chen Yun’s speed was astonishing, and in the blink of an eye, he had ascended to an altitude of ten thousand meters.

He was enveloped in a faint halo, the plasma created by the friction of air at super high speeds.

Flying at ten times the speed of sound, even sound itself could not catch up to him; every sonic boom was accompanied by an ear-deafening roar, yet the sound could only resound far behind his swiftly advancing figure, unable to touch him.

Cities and countryside, mountains and rivers passed by swiftly beneath him, turning into a series of paintings that flashed by his view.

For the people on the ground, it might have just felt like a sudden gust of wind and a brief thunderous roar, but for Chen Yun, this was the freedom of soaring, a wholehearted release of his own strength.

Now, he,

was becoming increasingly unrestrained.

Realizing his own invincibility had led to a complete outburst and rebound of his previous cautious and life-preserving mindset.

His behavior grew increasingly bold.

Soon, he crossed the vast land, from Jiangnan Province to the distant North American continent above, and the continuous peaks of the Rocky Mountains were now in sight.

Deep within the mountains, the Primitive Forest covered the land, and wild beasts roamed – an area seldom tread by humans.

Here, Chen Yun finally slowed down, descending gently,

until his feet lightly touched the Earth amidst the dense forest.

The air around him was somewhat heated from the high-speed flight, but as the speed slowed, everything returned to calm.

Chen Yun looked around, absorbing the natural aura of this ancient mountain range.

Then he quickly headed towards a cave he had smashed open the previous night.

Approaching,

he could see that most of the vegetation at the entrance was wilted.

This was because Chen Yun had placed the interesting artifact he had acquired in the cave.

Chen Yun entered the cave,

and his gaze was immediately captivated by a huge chunk of metal emanating a faint blue-green glow.

This was the treasure Chen Yun had fetched.

The metal’s surface displayed a curious metallic sheen, unlike the commonly seen iron, copper, or silver; it seemed to emanate from within the metal itself, carrying an unusual and mysterious hue.

The edges of the metal were irregular, clearly separated from a larger ore by some violent means.

Despite this, its shape still revealed a natural beauty, as if it were a piece of art meticulously carved by nature.

The luminescence of the Radiation Mace metal didn’t come from a conventional reflecting source, but rather from the ongoing nuclear decay processes within it.

In this process, the protons and neutrons inside the atomic nuclei were unstable, releasing energy. This energy was emitted in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. These high-energy particles and rays gave the metal its ghostly glow.

The presence of radioactive metal was inherently dangerous. Around this metal, ionization in the air became more pronounced, with electrons being stripped from their orbits to form charged particles.

This ionizing radiation had a significant impact on biological tissues. Prolonged exposure could affect even plants, as seen by the wilted vegetation at the entrance, a result of radiation damage to plant cells.

For humans, the hazards of radioactive materials were even more formidable.

Short-term high-dose radiation exposure could lead to acute radiation sickness, manifesting as nausea, vomiting, hair loss, and skin burns; whereas long-term low-dose radiation could increase the risk of cancer and affect the stability of the genetic material DNA.

Therefore, handling radioactive materials required extreme caution, usually done while wearing specialized protective suits and operating within isolated facilities.

Of course.

For Chen Yunlai, that was unnecessary.

Firstly, his body was strong.

Secondly, his Spiritual Position was always open to block all radioactivity.

Chen Yunlai approached the metal, feeling its unusual energy fluctuations.

The air was filled with a subtle static electricity sensation, as if each breath reminded him of the uniqueness of this place.

To Chen Yunlai, this was an interesting toy.

Having discovered it last night, he had immediately moved it to the vicinity of the Black Tide Alliance’s North American Branch in the Rocky Mountains.

Firstly, to hide it temporarily.

Secondly, it was not good to bring it back, lest he accidentally harm others if his Spiritual Position failed to cover it.

Now Chen Yunlai had come here.

He intended to experiment a bit with the large piece of radioactive metal.

Suppose he were to...

Craft a weapon from this material.

Its inherent luminous special effect would certainly be impressive enough to accumulate strength.

And in terms of power,

Even the Tetanus Blade would have to step aside.

A weapon made from this radioactive metal, if placed in ancient times, would be the legendary Omen Blade that cursed its user to death.

Chen Yunlai seriously suspected that those so-called Devouring Master Demon Swords were made of this stuff.

That’s why wearing them for too long led to death.

This was only the damage to the holder; for the one injured by it, there was an additional radioactive buff.

Although Chen Yunlai did not need such a poison-like debuff, nor did he need any weapon to extend his attack range.

He could annihilate his enemies with a simple punch.

What was more important,

Most weapons were impractical, breaking after a few uses.

It was better to use the strength and reach of his Spiritual Position.

However,

Sometimes it isn’t the lack of cost-effectiveness or utility that negates certain things.

At least, Chen Yunlai found this to be interesting,

And also quite cool.

Pondering,

His Spiritual Position casually crushed the large piece of radioactive metal in front of him into small pieces, then used the Spiritual Position to assemble it into a Euphorbia.

With the Spiritual Position in place, the pieces of the Euphorbia could be freely combined like the Magic Blade Thousand Blades, without the need for any adhesive.

As for why it was a Euphorbia.

Naturally, it was because other weapons did not align with his style, unable to make sweeping moves.

Even if he grew tired of the Euphorbia,

He could use his Spiritual Position to freely switch to another form to play around.
