Chapter 274: Chapter 190: Class A Heaven and Earth Secret Realm! Overcome Obstacles! Slaying the Sixth-Order Ferocious Thunder Roc!
SWOOSH.
BOOM!
The 13-ton missile, 14 meters in length and nearly 2 meters in diameter, tore through the sky at nearly ten times the speed of sound, obliterating everything in its path.
The Fifth Rank Mutant Beast that rushed out from the A-rank Heaven and Earth Secret Realm was instantly reduced to ashes.
Even a Sixth Rank Mutant Beast, upon sensing the impending danger, scrambled to flee and was ultimately forced back into the Secret Realm.
This was the true power of a great nation!
Wang Yan involuntarily glanced at Jiang Shu, who stood beside him in silence, without sorrow or joy, immovable as a mountain. Wang Yan said nothing.
The cost of just one missile was several hundred million.
Not to mention, the materials from any Fifth Rank Mutant Beast killed by the missile would easily be worth over a hundred million!
In just a few seconds, the "losses" for the Xia Country amounted to several billion!
Yet for the increasingly powerful Xia Country, this was but a drop in the ocean.
No matter how strong Martial Arts became, in the face of real military power, they still seemed so insignificant.
Tanks or fighter jets, none really counted as the true strength of a great power.
The main reason Fusang had bowed down was that Jiang Shu was in Tokyo, preventing the military from carrying out carpet bombings there.
And Jiang Shu’s strength had just reached a Realm where he could easily assassinate any defense minister.
As the saying goes, "One can be a thief who travels a thousand miles, but who can guard against a thief for a thousand miles?" Constant defense is ultimately untenable. This, coupled with the Xia Country’s relentless pressure along the coast, the unfolding of a glorious new age, and the development of ruins, was what made Jiang Shu’s return to his home country an exception.
At this moment, Jiang Shu certainly noticed Wang Yan’s gaze. He also knew what Wang Yan was thinking.
Any Martial Artist who saw this scene would be involuntarily awed. They would feel that they could never confront a great nation with their personal Martial Arts alone, and their only thought would be to submit to the nation and serve it.
But Jiang Shu would not.
A Vigorous Power Martial Saint?
In his view, this Realm was merely the beginning of true cultivation!
The roar resonated throughout the land until silence fell.
Jiang Shu finally shouldered the S-rank rocket launcher and headed towards the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.
There were only three known A-rank Heaven and Earth Secret Realms in the entire Xia Country.
One in the highest plateau had been obliterated by missiles.
One in Guangyue Province, where the passage was not yet stable.
And now this one... in Southern Yu Province!
He saluted the military officers and soldiers in front of and behind him, one by one. These people were all worthy of his respect. In the face of the Mutant Beasts, their strength was like that of ants. Yet it was these ants who day after day stood guard here.
They secured peace and family reunions for countless homes.
Once Jiang Shu’s figure had completely disappeared into the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, the general couldn’t help but ask Wang Yan, "With Martial Saint Wang’s capabilities, if he were armed with a rocket launcher and sufficient missiles, what are the chances of him battling a Sixth Rank Mutant Beast?"
"At most ten percent," Wang Yan replied, hesitating for a moment before finally shaking his head. "You see, although this Heaven and Earth Secret Realm has been bombarded with missiles several times, there might still be unharmed Sixth Rank Mutant Beasts inside. What’s more, even if they were injured... a starving camel is still bigger than a horse, and an emaciated tiger is not one an ordinary person can provoke. Though I am a Vigorous Power Martial Saint, and my Spirit Realm has reached Great Stability, only one step away from Constant Stability... I am still too insignificant before a Sixth Rank Mutant Beast. Their strength, speed, and defenses surpass mine by countless times. Holding a rocket launcher... is like a child wielding a knife. How many could actually inflict real damage on an adult?"
The general mused, To succeed, strength, courage, and luck are all indispensable. Ten percent is actually very, very high. I hope Jiang Shu always has good fortune.
...
「A-rank Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.」
An intense smell of blood permeated the air at the passage, lingering for a long time.
Using his Break Limit level Concealing Steps, Jiang Shu’s figure vanished into thin air.
He easily passed among several Fifth Rank Mutant Beasts, looking up at the sky, gradually searching for traces of a Sixth Rank Eagle-type Mutant Beast.
For me, killing more Fifth Rank Mutant Beasts is meaningless. It would only increase my wealth by a ’small’ amount, perhaps a few hundred million. To improve my strength, I need to acquire Thunder Eagle Essence Blood!
The higher the grade of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, the more vast its territory, and the richer the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. I dare not imagine what a magnificent sight it would be if all the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm passages stabilized, allowing Yuan Qi to flow into Xuanxing, ushering in an era of complete revitalization for the entire planet.
Taking a deep, almost greedy breath, Jiang Shu’s eyes shone with a keen light. The 301st acupoint in his body showed faint signs of loosening again.
The Primordial Power within the acupoint flowed into his limbs, and his figure, like a flash of lightning, darted swiftly among giant trees hundreds of meters tall.
After the missile attack, the Sixth Rank Mutant Beasts will definitely have returned to the central area to recuperate. This is my only chance to obtain the Essence Blood!
BOOM! BOOM!
At the edge of the central area, violent Primordial Power fluctuations swept about madly. A large mountain trembled, and a small stream at its foot was completely buried by rubble.
Two Fifth Rank Peak Mutant Beasts were battling in the mountains!
The terrified screeches of fleeing Fourth Rank Mutant Beasts echoed incessantly, as if fearing they would step into the Netherworld at any moment.
Looks like I have to take a detour...
Jiang Shu frowned after two days of travel.
As the passage stabilizes, the Yuan Qi within the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm will inevitably become scarcer. Higher-Rank Mutant Beasts will increasingly fight over territory and treasure medicines.
