Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 388 - 246: Detonating the Divine Power Pill! Slaying a God in Freedom Country!
"Jiang Shu: a native of Ji City in the Xia Country, began martial arts training at seventeen..."
「Freedom Country.」
The true strength of the entity on the throne was comparable to the Blood God of the Sitting and Forgetting Realm. Seated on a specially crafted royal throne, looking down imperiously, were council members kneeling before Him. These council members had all achieved a genetic breakthrough thanks to His blessings, attaining the strength of Fourth Rank Genetic War Generals in a short time.
Even the president was kneeling, reciting everything about Jiang Shu.
On the giant screen, all of Jiang Shu’s battles were being played in high definition:
The Grandmaster battle by West Lake.
The Sword Saint battle in Fusang.
Palm extinguishing Orochi over the Pacific Ocean.
Wielding thunder to pierce the Deep Sea Avenger.
And, with the emergence of the Divine Power Pill, a single man suppressed an entire country.
"In terms of Spiritual Cultivation, he must have reached the Divine Breath Realm," the Blood God mused, His voice cold. "To achieve such a state in just five short years... it seems this little fellow has had quite a few fortuitous encounters. It’s just a pity that, no matter what his opportunities were, from now on, all his good fortune will be mine. Hmph, mere battles between ants. Does he really think himself invincible in this era?"
Through the video, He couldn’t discern the effects of the Divine Power Pill. He only learned from the president and council members that this Great Pill, upon self-destructing, might possess power comparable to a nuclear weapon.
And as for nuclear weapons... He had already tested them. Only when He walked out from a nuclear blast did the president and council members truly begin to worship Him as a god, their reverence genuine.
It must be said, while the Cultivation system on this planet is average, its so-called "technological" power is extremely strong. If someone who specialized in cultivating physical strength encountered it, a nuclear explosion could blast an expert as strong as My true form into a bloody mist. Although their soul might survive, their power would be drastically reduced. Unfortunately for such opponents, our divine path of Cultivation focuses solely on the soul. As long as the soul is indestructible, our power will never cease. The body is merely a vessel for our soul.
"Blood God, Jiang Shu is but an ordinary mortal, after all. How could he possibly compare to You?"
Fervor gleamed in the president’s eyes. As the most powerful individual in Freedom Country, he had, under the Blood God’s deliberate nurturing, rapidly ascended to become a Fifth Rank Genetic War God. His body had rejuvenated and strengthened to the point where living another two hundred years would be no issue.
Immunity to nuclear weapons and the power to grant mortals advancement at will—these were two feats Jiang Shu definitely couldn’t achieve. Otherwise, Xia Country would now be teeming with Grandmasters, Great Grandmasters, and even Martial Saints. His inability to do so proved Jiang Shu was far inferior to the Blood God.
"Your radiance, Blood God, should shine like the great sun upon every corner of Xuanxing!" the president declared, his voice impassioned. "The people of Freedom Country, Xia Country, and every other nation should all bask in Your holy grace." He was now eagerly awaiting Jiang Shu’s arrival. "Xia Country still steadfastly adheres to Martial Arts, and their foremost practitioner is none other than Jiang Shu. As long as Jiang Shu comes and You slay him, their faith in Xia Country’s Martial Arts will instantly collapse! All those Martial Artists will become Your fervent worshippers."
Nobody expected that on the second day after the establishment of the Blood God Society, Xia Country would announce its crusade against the Blood God. Jiang Shu even issued a challenge across the entire network, declaring he would step into Freedom Country today.
To the president and council members, this was undoubtedly a colossal joke.
A mere mortal daring to slay a god?
At this moment, over the Pacific Ocean, Jiang Shu approached, treading on moonlight. The Primordial Power within his body had been refined to extreme purity, his strength reaching the utmost limit of his current Realm.
The ocean waves were calm for ten thousand miles.
Helicopters in the sky broadcast everything live, and every streaming channel was at maximum viewership.
"Is Jiang Wushen going to fight the Blood God in Freedom Country? They’re saying over there that the Blood God emerged from a nuclear blast, completely unharmed! Can Jiang Wushen really defeat the Blood God?"
"I don’t know, but if Jiang Wushen is heading to Freedom Country, he must be somewhat confident, right? We have to believe in Jiang Wushen! Since his debut, he’s swept through all obstacles, undefeated within his realm. No matter how strong the Blood God is, He’s just a conscious entity. Xia Country has made this very clear. The so-called immunity to nuclear weapons is only because nuclear weapons can’t destroy a consciousness; it doesn’t mean His actual power is as strong as a nuclear weapon."
"This is just like when Orochi overwhelmed those nuclear-type titans; ultimately, it was due to insufficient spiritual power. That’s why, over the past year, our Xia Country has been placing much greater emphasis on the spiritual power of Martial Artists. Those with high spiritual Talent are often recruited by the government and given better resources. Martial Arts, no matter how strong, have their limits; they can only take one to the Sixth Realm. They’re quite effective against Mutant Beasts, allowing one to kill them. But when facing invading powerhouses from the Universe, only a strong Spirit can continuously repel them and ensure the safety of our Xuanxing."
"The more I look at the name ’Freedom Country,’ the more ridiculous it seems. They talk about freedom, but now they’re forcing everyone to worship the Blood God—what kind of sense does that make? Personally, I think the Blood God is just causing chaos in Freedom Country, so let Him. After all, Freedom Country isn’t exactly a bastion of virtue. One might survive calamities sent by Heaven, but when you bring disaster upon yourself, you’re doomed."
"I actually think this is a good opportunity. Right now, Freedom Country is practically split in two. One faction follows the government and sides with the Blood God; another is protesting and being systematically eliminated. If Jiang Wushen can truly slay this so-called Blood God, wouldn’t that be an indirect liberation of Freedom Country?"
"That’s a great point. I can’t even argue with that."
The servers of all major platforms were practically overloaded. Messages flooded in like a torrential storm, and every social media platform was buzzing with discussions about the live broadcast. Everyone eagerly anticipated Jiang Shu’s victory.
