Chapter 318: Chapter 213: Jiang Shu Takes Action! Annihilating the Orochi with a Swing! Without nuclear weapons, I am invincible among men!
"Nuclear weapons... Just wait! Analyze the data!"
「Shengjing.」
The leader’s breathing grew somewhat rapid. Before him, on the large screen, Orochi roared earth-shatteringly, its terrifying form crushing cities in Fusang one by one. Some billionaires’ private helicopters that had escaped too late were obliterated under streaks of lightning.
Sudden torrential rain fell, and stormy waves surged toward the sky.
The once neon-lit, prosperous land of Fusang now seemed as if doomsday had arrived: electricity collapsed, high-rises fell, and clumps of flesh churned in the seawater. In the live broadcast room, some viewers with weaker constitutions bent over, vomiting, wishing they could throw up their breakfast.
"The data analysis is out. This Orochi is about 150 meters tall, and its weight should be around 50,000 tons. The nuclear radiation from the explosion of Fusang’s nuclear power plant seems to have little effect on it. Its abdomen appears to be a huge venomous swamp, even capable of devouring nuclear radiation."
"To kill it, we would have to resort to nuclear weapons."
The reporting researcher struggled to suppress the shock in his heart. Such data was overwhelmingly terrifying. Fusang’s missile reserves were sufficient to exterminate all Sixth Rank Mutant Beasts. Yet, this Orochi seemed to have become an entirely new existence, capable of reconstituting itself as long as its flesh remained undestroyed.
Is this not a form of immortality?
"Commander, Wang Tianren has also arrived."
The commotion caused by Orochi was too great. The development of the Cosmic Relics in Yunan Province had to be urgently halted, and Wang Tianren rushed over as quickly as possible.
The leader greeted him and shook Wang Tianren’s hand. "Wang Tianren, you’ve had a long journey. Do you see any chance against this Orochi?"
Although Wang Tianren had not yet reached the Fetal Breathing Realm, his current Realm had already broken through the Void, achieving an indestructible state. Calling him a Tianren was not an exaggeration.
Nuclear weapons were the ultimate trump card of Xia Country.
They were not to be used unless absolutely necessary.
Moreover, the relationship between Xia Country and Fusang was already extremely tense.
Deploying nuclear weapons might kill Orochi, but it would also mean the destruction of Fusang.
Then, Freedom Country would undoubtedly stand on the moral high ground and launch various criticisms; this was the kind of thing they did quite often.
"Perhaps if Jiang Tianren arrives, the chances might be better."
Wang Tianren looked at Orochi on the screen and hesitated before speaking. "The Mutant Beasts we’ve encountered before were either ordinary, possessing only brute strength, or capable of using Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. A creature like this Orochi might have mastered spiritual power; its Spirit is unimaginably strong. Missiles can destroy its body, but not its Spirit."
"As long as its Spirit remains, it can continuously reconstitute itself. To truly kill it, both firepower and spiritual power must envelop it simultaneously. My Spiritual Cultivation, though still at the common state of tranquility, ultimately hasn’t taken that final step. However, if paired with missiles, I believe we could at least manage to keep it beyond our maritime borders."
The development of the Cosmic Relics had come at a very opportune moment. Wang Tianren now possessed a more comprehensive understanding of Spiritual Cultivation.
Deep sleep, Meditation, Fetal Breathing.
Humans have their own methods of Cultivation, gradually strengthening their Spirit Realm. Mutant Beasts, too, might possess special methods to cultivate their spiritual power.
"If there’s any doubt about the action, it’s better not to take risks."
The leader shook his head. Although Jiang Shu was the strongest in Spiritual Cultivation, it was clear he preferred a cooperative relationship with Xia Country. His journey to space alone, aside from the need for Cultivation, was also possibly to prove he had reached a Realm difficult for ordinary people to imagine.
Under these circumstances, Wang Tianren was the foremost individual within Xia Country. The future depended on him too much to allow him to easily be thrust into a life-or-death situation.
"Commander! Good news! Jiang Tianren in space has opened his eyes! It looks like he’s preparing to descend!"
While the leader was contemplating how to handle this dire situation, a security officer monitoring Jiang Shu excitedly reported.
...
「The vast cosmos.」
The Holy Embryo, absorbing the surrounding Yuan Qi, continued to grow stronger.
In Jiang Shu’s original plan, after Condensing the Holy Embryo, he intended to use the feat of bodily traversing the Universe as a guise to conceal the Two Realms Shuttle.
After all, with the development of the Cosmic Relics, Xia Country’s technology was poised for another significant leap. By then, every corner of the world, if not monitored by Xia Country, would be under the surveillance of Freedom Country.
If he were still on Xuanxing, although he could shield against detection with his spiritual power, it would also expose his precise location.
It was better to enter space ahead of time. It was vast and immeasurable, possibly even offering opportunities and resources unavailable on Xuanxing.
However, just as Jiang Shu was preparing to begin his journey to the Moon, he glanced down.
Flesh reconstituting... isn’t this the Possession Realm within the Detachment Realm?
No wonder even missiles can’t destroy it. If it were at its Peak, even three of me wouldn’t stand a chance against this monster. Only a true Furnace Fire Realm powerhouse could genuinely subdue it. But now, missiles have destroyed five of its heads, and its spiritual power is greatly diminished.
Even without missiles, with my own strength, I should be able to kill it, right?
Muttering inwardly, Jiang Shu circulated the Primordial Power within him. The Holy Embryo entered his body, and like a falling meteor, he plunged directly towards Fusang!
Although Orochi’s appearance had attracted a vast number of people, Jiang Shu’s live broadcast room still had millions of die-hard fans watching. The sound of sonic booms resounded completely throughout the broadcast.
