The dragon-shaped giant claw, over five zhang long, tore through layers of dark clouds, and bolts of lightning gathered around it, resembling palm lines.
The thirty-six scales radiated terrifying energy, each one vibrating with immense Origin Power and spiritual energy.
In Jiang Shu's hands, the Heavenly Star Dragon Seizing Hand, a technique that Limit-Breaking Level, even surpasses ordinary Top-Grade Martial Arts.
"Boom!"
We should press on with our remaining strength to pursue the fleeing enemy!
With a single palm strike, the surrounding space seemed to collapse instantly.
The world was completely silent!
The dragon-shaped giant claw pierced through the heavens and earth, as sharp as Treasure Blade that could cut through a hair, easily shattering all the struggles of the Yamata no Orochi.
A surge of blood cells.
A massive tide formed from thick venom.
And a mental barrier.
All were broken by a single force!
"Roar!"
The Yamata no Orochi let out its final, heart-wrenching roar.
Its last head shattered completely as Jiang Shu's Heavenly Star Dragon Seizing Hand struck, scattering countless pieces of flesh and blood everywhere.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After the Yamata no Orochi's spiritual power was annihilated, the eight snake necks lost all support and crashed down from mid-air, creating waves tens of meters high.
The blood spheres formed on the snake's neck are also flesh that has shed and drifted into the sea.
Jiang Shu descended gracefully, stepping onto the massive body of the Yamata no Orochi, which weighed tens of thousands of tons. His white robes were stained with blood, and he held the power to destroy life and death.
At this moment, the dark clouds dissipated, and rays of sunlight shone once again on the ruins.
Jiangnan University.
No one knows who shouted " Jiang Tianren is invincible" first, and then these five words were like a world-shaking tsunami, surging from the inside out!
The entire Jiangnan City was cheering for Jiang Shu's name.
Meanwhile, foreign netizens watching the live stream were stunned.
Jiang Shu and otherworldly methods completely overturned their understanding of martial arts.
This is the Yamata no Orochi Mecha were instantly killed!
This is the Yamata no Orochi, which even missiles couldn't destroy!
In front of this man who was only a little over 1.8 meters tall, he appeared so vulnerable!
Is this... a human, or God?
In the waters Xia Kingdom, helicopters quickly arrived, and fully armed soldiers slid down from mid-air to attempt to rescue some survivors.
Meanwhile, more soldiers, accompanied by experts, began using cutting machines made of Cosmic Metal to dissect the massive Yamata no Orochi body and take it away piece by piece.
"This... this is Jiang Tianren! He annihilated the Yamata no Orochi, and the America was so intimidated that they dared not come! You must know that the Yamata no Orochi's body is not something that can be measured in money in this Gene Era. In the eyes of the America, it is a treasure that is more valuable than oil! Once obtained, it can definitely produce Sixth-Order Gene Serum in one fell swoop, greatly enhancing the country's strength."
"Yes, and the fact that the previous Nuclear Overlord was instantly killed shows that the seemingly powerful Mecha actually have extremely fatal flaws. If we could obtain the flesh and blood of the Yamata no Orochi, we might be able to analyze some of them. As a result, Jiang Tianren is still standing on the head of the Yamata no Orochi. The soldiers of the America can only come under the pretext of rescuing survivors, and they dare not approach at all."
"Hilarious! It's like losing both the wife and the army. Not only did they lose their Nuclear Overlord and an aircraft carrier, but even their number one subordinate is now in ruins. However, the worst off is Fusang. They were developing martial arts before, but Jiang Tianren broke the backbone of their martial arts. Now they've joined forces with the America to research genes, and before long, the island is gone."
"His physical body entered the Cosmos, and he annihilated the Yamata no Orochi with his palm. Jiang Tianren's actions are nothing short of divine. By the way, do you remember when Jiang Tianren said that upon his return he would create New Method and spread them to the masses? If that's true, wouldn't we all have a chance to reach Jiang Tianren's current level?"
" New Method... If that's really the case, it will be a real earthquake in the Xuanxing! Even citizens of the America will probably have to renounce their citizenship. After all, martial arts is a truly broad and promising path, leading to immortality or godhood."
"I don't know when it will be announced, but I've already locked onto the live stream. I'll stay up for the next few days to catch Jiang Tianren!"
"It's definitely not going to work out for a while. This Yamata no Orochi no Orochi is a treasure trove, and Jiang Tianren will definitely bring it back first. I can't even imagine how big a commotion it will cause when Jiang Tianren returns to the country."
Xia Kingdom.
The atmosphere was electric; countless pedestrians danced and celebrated in the streets.
On the building's screen, Jiang Shu's image was playing everywhere.
Countless reporters flocked to Jicheng and Jiangnan City, interviewing everyone connected to Jiang Shu.
Although Jiang Shu's fame was growing, his true strength was only known to the martial arts community. Because of his low profile and special status, major media outlets dared not report on him easily.
But now that Yamata no Orochi is dead, Jiang Shu's fame has reached its true peak.
With a population of over one billion, some people may not know the richest man, but no one will be unaware of Jiang Shu, the Jiang Tianren!
Jicheng Fifth High School.
Facing a crowd of cameras, Principal Zhang Taining beamed from ear to ear. In fact, when Jiang Shu won the University Martial Dao Genius Competition, he had the opportunity to leave Fifth High School and directly join the Education Bureau, but he chose to stay. What did it matter how good the Education Bureau's benefits were? As long as he maintained his relationship with Jiang Shu, he wouldn't trade it for a city leadership position!
" Jiang Tianren was among the first batch of students to transfer to the martial arts program. To my shame, our school didn't offer Jiang Tianren much help at the time; we could only give him ample time and grant his request to suspend his studies..."
Jiangnan City.
Inside a dormitory at a university.
Xu Shuhui's bed across from hers, her college best friend, stared at Jiang Shu on her phone screen, unable to resist fantasizing.
"Shuhui, you're so lucky! You went to the same high school as Jiang Tianren. I wonder if Jiang Tianren has a girlfriend now. Sigh, if I had known he was here, I would have definitely transferred schools and had a passionate romance with him."
"No, back in our senior year of high school, who knew martial arts would develop like this? Everyone was focused on studying for college entrance exams. Only Jiang... Jiang Tianren had the courage to give up martial arts. It wasn't just talent, but also great courage."
"That's true, times are changing too fast. Jiang Tianren's experience is indeed too amazing. Since his debut, his cultivation level has always surpassed the world's understanding. At the age of eighteen, he directly became Youth Grandmaster! At this age, many boys are still thinking about how to flirt with girls."
"But Jiang Tianren is already fighting against Fourth Order Variant Ferocious Beast in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm. This gap is greater than the difference between heaven and earth. Luckily, I don't know Jiang Tianren. If I did, I probably would never fall in love in my life."
Her best friend was shaking her head and chattering away on the bed, while on Xu Shuhui's phone, there was always a separate list of messages on WeiXun. She just stared at it blankly, without saying a word.
yes.
Why didn't I take the initiative back then?
However, even if I, who am not even Ming Jin, were to meet him again, I probably wouldn't even have the courage to stand in front of him.
Fusang Country.
He refined the Essence Blood from the Yamata no Orochi's body, one by one. Jiang Shu then returned to China by helicopter.
Although he can't use this Essence Blood for the time being, once he returns to the Great Jing Dynasty, if he can obtain the Pill Formula from the Royal City, he will definitely be able to refine it into a top-grade pill, which will once again slightly enhance his strength.
The tens of thousands of tons of animal carcasses were dismantled one by one and transported back to the Shengjing Research Institute by transport helicopters.
Jiang Shu once again set foot on the soil of Shengjing to meet with the leaders.
At their first meeting, although he was Gang Jin Martial Saint of the Gang Jin realm, in the face of a nation, he was nothing more than a powerful martial artist.
Even if he is the number one martial artist in the Xia Kingdom, in the eyes of the person who truly holds the greatest power in the country, he is nothing more than a powerful martial artist.
Even his attendance at the conference was due to an urgent matter concerning Wang Yan.
But now, Jiang Shu has proven his strength through his actions, demonstrating that he is now on par with a major power!
Even leaders personally greeted them and patiently inquired about their needs.
"The reason why missiles couldn't kill the Yamata no Orochi is because its spiritual power is indestructible. It has eight heads, each with extremely large spiritual power. The spiritual power in each head surpasses the Constant Samadhi realm. The combined spiritual power of the eight heads is unimaginable."
"Why were the war gods in the Mecha instantly killed? It's because Mecha can only be physically powerful, not mentally powerful. To fight against opponents of higher levels, you need at least a device that can shield against mental attacks."
"I was able to kill it this time entirely thanks to the missiles that Fusang had previously used, which had already weakened the Yamata no Orochi by more than half. Otherwise, we would have only been able to intercept it outside the sea. But the appearance of the Yamata no Orochi also proves that there must be such a powerful being in the deep sea."
Jiang Shu explained in the simplest language the fundamental reason why the Yamata no Orochi was fearless against missiles.
"So, if a missile hits the head, it's basically a guaranteed kill?"
The leader thought for a moment before answering.
"Theoretically, that's true, but in practice, it's impossible to kill these kinds of beings. That's because their spiritual power can attach itself to any living being. Missiles only kill the body, not the spirit."
"Moreover, the missile hit the head, but the Variant Ferocious Beast are not like us humans. Only the head can house our spirit. Some may have it in the tail, or in other places, unless the entire body is destroyed. But then, the possibility of research is lost."
Jiang Shu's words were direct and clear.
The leader remained silent. If that were true, it meant that the body of the Yamata no Orochi was even more valuable than he had imagined.
Jiang Shu's contributions to the country are beyond what can be measured by merit alone.
For a moment, he didn't know what reward to give.
Give a name?
Jiang Shu's name has become a true household name, and even he himself probably doesn't have the same level of prestige.
Give a profit?
Jiang Shu can physically enter the Cosmos, so let alone some hidden locations on Xuanxing, he can mine all the precious mines on other planets in the Cosmos. If we're talking about wealth, all the richest people on Xuanxing combined probably couldn't compare to Jiang Shu's casual small income.
Martial arts... this is the way of martial arts!
When you cultivate to the highest level, fame and fortune are like fleeting clouds; one person can be as powerful as an entire nation!
"During this period of time, I have gained some insights into cultivation and plan to create some New Method to popularize among the masses."
Jiang Shu took the initiative to say that he had mentioned this matter during his speech, originally planning to spread martial arts after returning from the sect. But now it seems that it can be implemented ahead of schedule.
After all, this battle brought a large influx of people into the Xia Kingdom, presenting both new opportunities and challenges.
Once this opportunity is seized, the Xia Kingdom will be far ahead, creating a significant gap with the other powerful nations.
" New Method?"
"Yes, our martial arts are actually quite mature. From Qi and Blood Sensing to comprehending the Ming Jin (manifested strength) of internal force, all the way to Shattering the Void and Seeing the Divine and Indestructible. In between, after entering Dan Jin (elixir strength), we can specialize in Meditation Method and begin to elevate our minds."
"But there is a big problem with this, which is that the early stages of martial arts training place too much emphasis on talent. We in Xuanxing have too many resources, but too few martial artists. So I was thinking about whether we could create Cultivation Method so that some martial artists with average talent could also embark on the path of martial arts cultivation."
Jiang Shu's voice was calm, yet it resonated like a raging storm in the reception room.
The leader, who had been sitting, suddenly stood up, his pupils dilating in shock. He had a grand vision for the world, and in an instant, he realized from Jiang Shu's words the possibilities of the future.
If this kind of method could be implemented first in the military, and then gradually expanded outward from schools, it would be beneficial.
It's possible that everyone is a martial artist!
Not only will Xuanxing be unified.
They can even go out and explore the Cosmos!
" Ming Jin, Hidden Force, Transforming Force all boil down to generating power. The reason they are difficult is that we do not have a specific training method to generate power within the martial artist's body. It all depends on the martial artist's understanding of power to break through each one."
"But if one can first cultivate internal strength, and then use that strength to strike out Ming Jin and Hidden Force, it will undoubtedly be much easier."
A moment later, Wang Yan and some other experts from the Research Institute entered the reception room and listened to Jiang Shu's speech like primary school students.
The mature martial arts of the Great Jing Dynasty were brought here by Jiang Shu for the first time.
However, just to be on the safe side, Jiang Shu only mentioned the Internal Force Cultivation Method, which is equivalent to the Hidden Force level of Ming Jin.
Even so, when Wang Yan and the Research Institute's experts meticulously examined and confirmed that it was entirely feasible, everyone was astonished. Its imaginative yet mature system led them into a completely new world.
The cultivation of Inner Force completely overturns traditional understanding and truly creates New Method!
Its significance is no less than the discovery of Mind Cultivation Method!
same day.
The Inner Strength Method was implemented within the army. Hundreds of soldiers who were originally stuck in the Qi and Blood Great Circulation were able to Force Skin Refining and become Manifested Force Martial Artist within five days!
Three days later.
The leader delivered an important speech, officially announcing the first five-year plan, which aims to increase the number of martial artists nationwide by more than five times within five years.
Martial arts are offered as a subject in high schools.
More than half of the universities will be completely transformed into Martial Dao University, and martial arts will be promoted with all their might.
Same day.
Jiang Shu stepped into the Cosmos, shielding himself from all detection.
Two Worlds Travel, they returned to the Great Jing Dynasty.
at this time.
The selection process within the Royal City is only three days away.
