Chapter 595 A True Judge of Character
"Boom—"
'
The howling wind and thunder were drowned out by an even louder roar, and a hideous wound was torn open in the sky, stretching endlessly in both directions.
Within the cracks lay a chaotic scene, constantly shifting and changing, occasionally surging with waves like a raging storm.
"It really is a scene from the spirit world."
The God of War appeared out of nowhere, looking at the scene in the crack, and murmured.
There is no matter or even structure in the spirit world.
The world is like an ocean, constantly changing, with undercurrents and raging tides, rarely fixed.
Those spirits are the "fish" in this ocean, following the primal rule of big fish eating small fish.
The "big fish" among them can cross invisible boundaries and transmit power to the material world, or even descend to another world, thus becoming the evil god in the eyes of the Earth's inhabitants.
The weak "fish" cannot live without the "seawater," and even if the spirit world and Earth intersect, they cannot enter another completely different world.
Therefore, all the spirit beings that have appeared throughout history are evil gods, comparable to the Heavenly Gate Warriors.
But now, things seem to be different.
A long, serpentine black shadow was propelled by an invisible current and entered the realm of mountains and seas.
It immediately emitted a panicked mental fluctuation, trying to return, but in the next moment, it suddenly froze.
Unable to withstand the spirit beings of another world, they did not dissipate; in fact, they became slightly stronger with contact with the primordial energy.
The long, black snake immediately became excited and shot downwards like a sharp arrow.
Unexpectedly, a large hand suddenly grabbed it, as easily as taking something out of a bag, and directly seized the long, black snake-like shadow.
"I've become stronger. Even though I don't know any cultivation methods and don't have a physical body, and I can't refine my Qi into spirit, I can still use primordial energy to benefit my spiritual body."
The war god frowned as he looked at the long, black snake-like figure.
Of course, the most crucial factor is the nature of beings in the spirit world.
In the spirit world, one’s own kind is the best food; their nature is to devour and kill each other.
Furthermore, spirit beings possess an extremely strong ability to influence thought processes.
Compared to spirit beings, the souls of other beings are too weak and are easily affected by the thought fluctuations of spirit beings.
This is also why "once a believer in an evil god, always a believer in an evil god."
With their inherently dog-eat-dog nature and infectious thinking, even a military genius wouldn't need to think twice to know what they would bring to other worlds.
In terms of strength, they are inferior to the evil gods, but because of their large numbers, the harm they cause in a short period of time is greater than that of the evil gods.
Thinking of this, the God of War crushed the long black snake in his hand, and at the same time, his gaze fell on the crack, and a vast and mighty aura descended suddenly.
"Boom!"
A thunderclap boomed at that moment, and bolts of lightning shot out from the crack, countless bolts of lightning intertwined and formed a giant hand, reaching out to grab the God of War.
Its speed was so fast that it was no different from real thunder, and the thunder roared, resounding in both matter and spirit. As the thunderous hand struck down, the God of War's mind was also struck by the thunderous explosion.
"snort!"
In the blink of an eye, a cold snort rang out, and the thunderous sound that had shaken the heavens and earth seemed to suddenly fall silent, and the blazing hand also lost its power.
A hand reached out slowly yet swiftly; though only of normal size, it seemed to hold the world in its palm.
The giant thunderous hand suddenly shattered, as if crushed by an even larger, invisible hand. Even the mighty thunder was mercilessly suppressed at this moment.
The cracks spreading across the sky also stopped at this moment, as if even the heavens were in awe of the god of war's majesty.
Before him, all things are like straw dogs, and all must face equal crushing.
"boom!"
The lightning struck again, and amidst the lightning, a tall and imposing figure stepped out.
Dressed in a uniform resembling a military uniform, with white hair and beard, he appeared old, yet possessed an imposing and awe-inspiring presence. He was none other than the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and the patriarch of the Jupiter family.
At the same time, it is also the head of the twelve gods.
"Jupiter," the war god called out the other's name, "you've crossed the line."
The Shinra Empire took shape at the beginning of the last century and was composed of several countries that existed before the martial arts era.
A hundred years is certainly not enough time for a powerful family to change generations. The current leaders of the Divine Luo Empire are undoubtedly the founders of the country, who are also the source of the so-called divine bloodline, namely the Twelve Gods themselves.
The emperor and the eleven grand dukes were actually the embodiment of the twelve gods.
Otherwise, how could the bloodline of the first generation have produced a powerhouse at the Heavenly Gate level?
If the power of the evil god were so convenient, the Myriad Transformations Demon King wouldn't have been stuck at the tenth-star realm back then.
However, after the power of the twelve gods spread through the bloodline, some others broke through to the Heavenly Gate realm, such as the blood brother of Emperor Jupiter.
"There's no such thing as crossing the line in war."
Jupiter chuckled and said, "God of War, you can't be that naive, can you?"
"War is indeed ruthless, but those who participate in war should have a bottom line," the God of War said indifferently, looking at Jupiter. "Breaking through to the Spirit Realm has crossed that line. From now on, the purpose of war is no longer just to defeat you, but to eradicate you completely and destroy Shinra."
Although the two sides had clashed many times, their conflict had never escalated to the point of being life-or-death.
Even if the battle here in the Mountain and Sea Realm is lost, the Earth Realm will exercise restraint and prevent it from escalating to the point of eventual destruction.
Until now, the Shinra Empire has opened up the Spirit Realm, tearing open a rift.
The consequences of this action are endless. The God of War has already realized that the Spirit Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm are merging with each other, and as time goes by, all creatures in the Spirit Realm, regardless of their strength, will be able to travel in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Those evil gods don't even need a container to descend upon the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Of course, if there is a container and a material basis, the evil god will be stronger, but a physical container is still essential.
Compared to the past, the evil gods are now more financially secure; they can find and create their own vessels instead of relying on believers.
They can personally slaughter, collect essence and blood to create physical bodies, or they can possess a suitable powerful being.
The God of War didn't know how the Divine Luo Empire had managed to truly integrate the two realms, but he could already imagine the consequences.
Furthermore, since the realms of mountains and seas can merge, the Earth should be able to as well.
This future will occur on Earth.
This is no longer a simple struggle for interests, but a life-or-death battle that could result in the destruction of a nation.
The indifference in the God of War's eyes deepened, and he suddenly raised his hand, clenched his fist, and struck out.
The simple, unadorned straight punch, under the overwhelming divine will, unleashed a power that could suppress everything.
Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs.
Under the fist of the God of War, everything will be suppressed equally. It is no longer about bullying the weak, but about striking from above and pressing down from above.
He stands at the very edge of the sky, while others are forever beneath it.
The punches are simple, yet impossible to dodge.
No matter what techniques or supernatural abilities you use to dodge, you can't escape this punch.
The fist's power carries the vastness of heaven and earth, the immensity of the world, and its intent fills the universe, reaching everywhere.
Before this punch, even the mighty power of the Shinra Emperor, who ruled the empire and controlled thunder, paled in comparison, mercilessly crushed by the intent of the punch.
But he showed no sign of backing down.
Both were delivered with a single punch, both were simple and unpretentious.
Thunder and flesh are thus united, imbued with unparalleled power.
If the fist of the God of War emphasizes momentum, then the fist of Jupiter focuses on power.
Their fists collided, and the world fell silent.
All mediums capable of transmitting sound were destroyed, leaving only a massive shockwave that swept across the heavens and earth.
Mountains, rivers, and the ground—wherever the ripples passed, not a trace was left; only dust drifted by, and everything turned to dust.
Ruthless punches, domineering power.
"Pei Dongliu, your power cannot suppress my strength."
Jupiter laughed heartily, and the tides of the spirit world poured down from the sky, transforming into chaotic lightning that covered the heavens. "I am the Emperor of Shinra, the God of Shinra, and the future ruler of the spirit world."
Jupiter once fought against the God of War during the first struggle for the Shan Hai Boundary region.
The emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, with his power and influence over hundreds of millions of people, could not match the divine will of the God of War alone.
Jupiter was slightly inferior, or even defeated.
But things are different now. He has opened up the spirit world, allowing the two worlds to merge. Jupiter, whose essence is a spirit being, has gained the advantage of playing on home turf, further elevating his own power.
Although still not as good as the God of War, he is no longer suppressed.
"The spirit world is like a straw dog."
The God of War's gaze was indifferent; his vast yet invisible divine will tore apart the lightning that covered the sky, and his fist struck again, suppressing the fluctuations of the spirit world under his divine will.
The sky was thus divided in two, with lightning flashing on one side and the vast sky stretching to the horizon on the other.
Two figures clashed at the dividing line in the sky, their every move affecting the vast land.
"cracking"
A clear cry rang out in the East China Sea, and the enormous phantom of the Heavenly Roc passed through the spatial rift, rushing straight towards the Steel Continent with a fierce wind.
Bai Ze's figure also appeared on the shore at the same time, watching the Peng bird fall rapidly.
"Is this bad?" he asked.
Even just by listening to his voice, you could feel Cheng Peng's anxiety.
This is quite rare for martial artists at the Heavenly Gate.
Cheng Peng even used Qingming to remind Bai Ze to come to him first, rather than spending time searching for Bai Ze.
"This is very bad."
The illusory image vanished, and Cheng Peng appeared.
Before his figure had fully appeared, his voice rang out, "The Divine Luo Empire has opened up the Spirit Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm. Now the two realms are converging, and the sky within a radius of ten thousand miles shows the overlapping of the two realms."
.....
.....
"The God of War is already engaged in battle with the Emperor of Shinra. The two sides have been fighting for a long time, and their forces are drawing closer. A major battle is imminent. Under these circumstances, the God of War simply does not have time to take over the demonic blood you mentioned and conduct research."
Even the God of War has difficulty preserving his demonic blood; who knows if he might lose it during a battle and have it stolen by the enemy.
Bai Ze didn't even need to hear Cheng Peng say anything to know how urgent the situation was.
As for handing over the demon blood to others... sorry, Bai Ze doesn't trust them.
Who knows if there's a mole among them?
Now, Bai Ze is basically certain that Kosh'e is among the Heavenly Gate Warriors of Dongxia.
Sending demon blood there would be like delivering goods directly to Kosh'e's doorstep.
"Does the God of War have any other plans?" Bai Ze asked. "Or are you suggesting I go there and wait until the God of War has finished the war?"
Although this goes against his original plan, Bai Ze would not refuse if the God of War gave the order.
Incidentally, you can also observe the intersection of the two realms.
"No."
Cheng Peng shook his head and said, "I'm here to convey the God of War's orders. The original Demon Blood will still be entrusted to you for safekeeping; you are the most suitable person to do so. In addition, the God of War wants you to personally take action to disrupt the Western Alliance and prevent Douglas from easily seizing military power within the Western Alliance."
"Huh?" Bai Ze felt he was losing his composure and couldn't keep a straight face.
Good news: No need to change plans to get involved in the battle between the gods in the Mountain and Sea Realm, or to scheme against that old sixth brother, Kosh'e.
Bad news: The God of War wants Bai Ze to go to the Western Alliance.
Bai Ze originally planned to remotely annoy the general, but now the God of War has made Bai Ze personally go to the Western Alliance.
"If you were able to seize the Steel Continent from the General, dealing with the Western Alliance's other technologies will be even less of a problem," Cheng Peng said solemnly. "Therefore, the God of War has entrusted this important task to you. We must delay the Western Alliance's entry into the war, because the Shinra Empire is likely to open up other worlds as well."
If the mechanical world and the wasteland world are connected, or if Earth and the Mountain and Sea Realm are merged, then what will appear on the battlefield next is the seemingly endless mechanical sea of the Western Alliance.
The Western Alliance suffered losses in the Mountain and Sea Realm before because they were not adapted to the local environment and could not use their technology there.
In any other world, the Western Alliance's mechanical seas and various new weapons and equipment would definitely give the Eastern Xia a major headache.
Any martial artist from Dongxia, even one from the Heavenly Gate, would find it difficult to deal with the technology of the Western Alliance, except for Bai Ze.
The Steel Continent's equipment and defenses were absolutely top-tier, yet Bai Ze infiltrated it and seized supreme access.
It's important to know that Bai Ze was only a Seven Star back then, but now he can fight against Heavenly Gate warriors.
His visit to Western Union would definitely be a huge surprise for them.
"Also, most of the passages between the mechanical world and the wasteland world are in the west. If we can't stop Douglas, then we should try to destroy the passages and stop the Western Alliance's advance," Cheng Peng continued.
The tone was more like a request than a command.
Bai Ze shook his head and said, "You really think too highly of me. You should know that the Western Union claims to offer freedom, but in reality, they'd love to monitor everyone, and they have satellite weapons installed over every city..."
"I know this is difficult..."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Peng was about to offer some advice when Bai Ze suddenly changed the subject.
"But I must say, you guys have a really good eye for people."
Bai Ze suddenly smiled, "I'm a professional at dealing with the Western Alliance."
High-tech, huh? Well, that's what I'm talking about.
