Li Xiang mulled over many names, such as *Blood Wing Mountain Collapse Ode*, which combined natural phenomena with combat, and *Crystal Vein Refining God Song*, which emphasized mineral deposits and divine weapons.

There were also others like *Po Nan Yin*, which emphasized the difficulty of cultivation, as well as *Blood Wing Crystal Vein Ode*, *Mountain-Breaking Divine Refining Chant*, *Grotto Heaven Divine Soldier Song*, *Ghostly Gorge Difficult Passage*, and so on.

After much deliberation, he finally settled on *Blood Wing Crystal Vein Ode*, feeling it was the most fitting.

Li Xiang composed a poem underground, creating the *Blood Wing Crystal Vein Ode*. He couldn’t help but feel pleased. ’My poetic talents are passable, after all.’

Throughout history, many emperors, kings, and ministers were interested in writing poetry. Some were truly talented, like Cao Cao and the Instructor. Others without much talent also wrote a great deal, like the Qianlong Emperor, who seems to have been the most prolific poet-emperor, having written over 40,000 poems in his lifetime.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang—who started with nothing but a broken bowl, reclaimed Huaxia Civilization, and established what was considered the most legitimate dynasty—was known to write a few short poems. Although he was not well-educated at first, he later taught himself and wrote quite well.

Seeing how Jiang Cai’Er could compose poetry so effortlessly, Li Xiang couldn’t help but want to try his hand at it too.

In any case, whether it was good or not, at least he had created something.

Humming a little tune, Li Xiang continued to purify the crystal vein. Meanwhile, the outside world was in an uproar, and soon, the entire globe was abuzz.

After all, America is the "Lighthouse Country" in the eyes of many—currently the most powerful nation on the planet, the ostensible number one. As such, its every move was closely watched by the media and netizens.

#BlankenCaveCollapse trended number one worldwide.

The official website of the International Bat Conservation Organization posted an obituary on a black background: "This is the darkest eco-extermination event in human history!"

The Russian news outlet *Russia Today* ran a headline: "American Natural Wonder Vanishes, Suspected to be the Work of Chinese and Russian Superpowered Units."

A well-known U.S. newspaper reported an excerpt from the Federal Geological Survey’s report: "...preliminarily determined to be a natural karst collapse, but residual rock samples have detected unknown energy fluctuations. The event has been temporarily classified as an ’Anomalous Geological Event’ (Code: TX-0922)."

A redneck farmer in Texas captured a video from a distance showing dust rocketing into the sky. After all, Li Xiang was deep underground at the time and didn’t think he was causing much of a commotion, but from the surface, the scene was truly spectacular.

How could the sudden collapse of such a massive cave possibly be a small affair?

In just two days, the video garnered over 200 million views. With this single video, the redneck farmer gained over three million followers on YouTube, becoming the envy of countless people.

Some U.S. soldiers were still scheming about blowing up the Yasukuni Shrine to get followers, but who would have thought a farmer from Texas could easily get over three million? One could only say that fate works in mysterious ways.

The comment section of the video exploded with discussions from netizens all over the world:

An American user commented: "This is the government secretly testing alien weapons!" (940k likes)

A South Korean user liked and replied: "Daddy America is amazing! Is this a super-advanced earthquake weapon? Daddy America can even control earthquakes now, so awesome!"

A European user criticized: "Where’s the little environmentalist girl? We need a climate strike!" (Top comment)

Huaxia netizens were making jokes on their forums: "Quick, check which mining company’s stock just skyrocketed!"

An Indian user: "Haha, this must be the work of a Divine Envoy sent by our Shiva God and Snow Mountain Goddess. That’s what the Americans get for not obeying our commands. We Indians have a Divine Envoy, so we are the greatest nation on earth! The position of world police should be ours."

A user from Southeast Asia: "Have you been drinking too much water from the Ganges River? How can you be so delusional?"

Someone else retorted: "It’s always about your Divine Envoy. This time, the Armored Man didn’t even show up. There’s no evidence whatsoever that the Armored Warriors did this."

This was because after Li Xiang collapsed the Bat Cave, he discovered the vanadium-titanium ore vein and was busy mining it. The mineral reserves were so vast that he had been spending the last few days underground as a diligent miner, which was why he hadn’t appeared.

The Indian user: "Our Divine Envoy is mysterious and elusive. It’s only normal that you wouldn’t see him."

Luo Feifei, who was on a film set, opened her phone during a break. She bypassed the firewall to watch the video and a charming smile immediately graced her lips. ’So that guy ran off to North America to cause trouble. Hmm, I wonder how long he’ll be. I’ll go find him and have some fun when I have free time in a few days.’

「In Japan, at a hot spring inn on Mount Fuji.」

Chiba Yuki, holding two adorable, doll-like twin girls, also saw the news. She was instantly certain it had to be her master’s doing. Only he possessed such a powerful Earth Ability.

’I wonder when Master will come to see me. I miss him so much.’ Chiba Yuki shifted her body, feeling unusually restless without Li Xiang around. Only when he was here did her heart feel truly at peace.

「Five days later.」

Li Xiang had successfully purified all the underground vanadium-titanium ore, extracting tens of thousands of tons of vein essence in the form of high-quality titanium alloy.

At the same time, he used his newly acquired Achievement Points to significantly upgrade the two Runes for "Giant Power" and "Divine Movement Technique." His strength reached about 220,000 jin, and his Extreme Speed hit Mach 11, leaving him with over 1.5 million Achievement Points to spare.

However, he couldn’t upgrade them any further due to the limitations of his current Realm.

After all, his Spirit Body could only handle this much of a load. If he exceeded this limit, it might disintegrate.

In truth, this was already incredibly formidable. Other Tier Nine Extraordinary Beings would be nowhere near capable of handling such stats.

Just as Luo Feifei had said, his constitution was unique, allowing him to hold a massive amount of Spiritual Power, and the Spirit Body he cultivated was exceptionally strong.

An Extreme Speed of Mach 11 and a Giant Power of 220,000 jin—this even slightly exceeded his original plan.

He was especially impressed with his Extreme Speed of Mach 11. He went to the surface to test it out. At that speed, he covered 3.74 kilometers per second, or 224.4 kilometers per minute. An eight-minute sprint, a single dash, could take him nearly 1,800 kilometers—all the way from Texas, across Mexico, and out over the Pacific Ocean.

Texas is right next to Mexico; it was originally Mexican territory before it gained independence and then joined the United States to become a state.

The people of Texas have a strong martial spirit and have long harbored a desire for independence.

Li Xiang then tested his cruising speed. He found Mach 6 to 7 to be the most comfortable. Calculating at Mach 6, he could cover more than 7,000 kilometers in an hour.

After enjoying himself over the ocean for a few hours, Li Xiang returned to land, finding himself inside Mexico. He found a decent-looking hotel and checked in.

He figured that since Mexico was relatively chaotic and his identity was likely already on a blacklist in the United States, he would easily attract the attention of the FBI. It would be safer and less troublesome to rest in a place like Mexico.

The hotel was in Queretaro, Mexico. Li Xiang paid a generous tip to get a deluxe room without having to register his ID. After locking the door from the inside, he went to the bathroom, filled the tub, and soaked comfortably in a hot bath.

As he soaked, however, he couldn’t help but think of that bombshell, Chiba Yuki. ’Now *her* hot spring is true bliss.’ Not only was there the spring itself, but he also had a beautiful young woman and a Shikigami massaging him from either side. The service was indescribably wonderful.

’I’ll have to go back there for a vacation another day. I kind of miss my twin goddaughters, too.’

However, Li Xiang still had business here. Mexico also had many bat caves, and his Otherworldly Warehouse still had vast amounts of empty space. Both North and South America were rich in resources, a truly mouth-watering prospect.
