Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 428 - 263: Refining the Natal Magical Weapon! Earth Rank, Green Sky and Blue Sea Seal!_2
The First Leader turned to his secretary.
"The people of Xia Country are the most tenacious, the most determined to confront adversity head-on.
If conventional thermal weapons are ineffective, then we must develop entirely new weapons capable of annihilating the Soul Bodies of these cosmic powerhouses!"
"According to the latest tests, it can already destroy the Soul Bodies of Sixth Rank Mutant Beasts. With increased potency, it might even threaten experts at the Divine Breath Realm.
However, against gods comparable to the Mixed Element Breath Realm, its effect is negligible."
The secretary, thoroughly briefed, reported on the progress of the God Destruction Cannon project and some of the difficulties encountered.
"Hmm, I understand."
The First Leader sighed and shook his head. Ultimately, all hope still rests on Jiang Wushen. These cosmic powerhouses... just Their Soul Bodies alone are so formidable. It’s unimaginable how terrifying Their true forms must be. If one day, They were to pour in from the Star Gate en masse... Xuanxing...
"Has the new batch of Secret Mine Crystal Stones been excavated? Send them to Mount Tai immediately. Increase personnel allocation to the God Destruction Cannon project...
At the same time, maintain close surveillance on the West and bolster our defenses to full strength."
A series of directives were issued, and the atmosphere in Shengjing shifted.
The various countries in the West had long existed in name only, having become exclusive domains of faith for the cosmic powerhouses.
From the moment They arrived, They knew that in the eastern part of this planet resided an individual of peculiar strength.
This individual, despite being at a lower cultivation Realm, had actually managed to eliminate the Soul Body of the Blood God.
「Freedom Country.」
The Soul Bodies of several cosmic powerhouses gathered. Hailing from the same cosmic civilization, They were naturally very familiar with one another.
They bantered and mocked.
The Blood God had clearly been the first to detect this Extraordinary Planet, yet He was effectively the last to arrive, securing only a meager million followers. How could He compare to Them, each of whom boasted over several hundred million? Their power bases were steadily solidifying.
"’Are several hundred million a lot?’ one sneered. ’Don’t you know how prolific the population of this planet can be? It was only because of their so-called ’economy’ that these ants refused to breed. Look now! Since We’ve taken control, in just a single year, the population in the West has increased by an immeasurable amount.
’If the West is like this, what about the East? In the future, this planet might have over ten billion ants! Even if We divided them equally, each of us could have over ten billion, or even tens of billions.
’Yet now, because of your mutual checks and balances, everyone can only divide up a few hundred million.’"
"’Instead of wasting time jesting at me,’ the Blood God interjected, ’you would be better off following my suggestion: head to Xia Country and slay Jiang Shu. A mere Divine Breath Realm cultivator—what can he possibly do when we all besiege him?’"
The Blood God spoke with a sinister tone, "No matter how many tricks he has, in the face of absolute strength, death is his only path! Delaying and delaying... how much time do any of us have to waste on this Extraordinary Planet?"
The death of His Soul Body, while having little significant impact on His true form, was nonetheless a profound humiliation.
How could He tolerate such an affront? Therefore, even if it required considerable effort, and despite knowing that Xuanxing’s current territories and populace might be carved up by the other powerhouses, He was determined to refine another Soul Body and return.
His sole purpose was to personally slay Jiang Shu! To destroy his physical body and extract his soul.
"’Blood God,’ another began, ’after all these years, we all know each other well. If that junior is really so easy to deal with, you should go yourself. If you can handle him alone, then I, the Dark Night God, vow never to set foot in Xia Country’s territory.’"
"’I, the Thunder God, say the same.’"
Despite the Blood God’s earnest attempts at persuasion, the Soul Bodies of the other cosmic powerhouses remained unconvinced. They scoffed, none of them wanting to pave the way for another.
As for truly slaying Jiang Shu and then not setting foot in Xia Country... What do promises made by a Soul Body have to do with Their true selves? Eventually, the Star Gate will open. When it does, Their true bodies will enter. Could a mere Divine Breath Realm being possibly overturn the heavens then?
As Lower Gods, Their power was comparable to experts of the Sitting and Forgetting Realm!
"’You all...’ the Blood God’s voice was sharp. ’You’ve been here for a year and still don’t know there’s an idiom in Xia Country: ’raising a tiger is asking for trouble’! Do you know how long that junior, Jiang Shu, has been cultivating? Less than ten years!’"
The Blood God’s gaze swept over each old acquaintance, trying once more to persuade them to attack Xia Country together.
But all He received in response was derisive laughter.
Clearly, none of them took His words to heart.
Genius or not, which of those who could enter the Star Ruins Realm wasn’t a once-in-ten-thousand-year genius from their own planet? Even if Jiang Shu was currently only at the Divine Breath Realm, or even the Mixed Element Breath Realm, They wouldn’t care. Their only concern was for experts of the Sitting and Forgetting Realm.
The Sitting and Forgetting Realm: to forget one’s form, to abandon intellect, to completely break free from the shackles of the physical and the intellectual. At this Realm, one merges and becomes one with the Laws of heaven and earth.
The body is no longer just a body; it becomes akin to a planet.
Every action, every movement, commands endless universal power, converting it for one’s own use.
An expert of the Sitting and Forgetting Realm, even one only at the Forget Form Realm stage, could potentially defeat Lower Gods like Them, who had condensed a singular godhead.
After all, Their source of power was too singular.
Of course, this singularity was only in comparison to experts of the Sitting and Forgetting Realm.
As for those at the Fetal Breathing Realm, or even the Mixed Element Breath Realm, they were insignificant in Their eyes.
