441: The foundation of Shintoism, the defeat of the Eternal Mother, and the collapse of the Taoist heart of the Mingde Confucian scholar

Boom boom boom!

Like the heartbeat of a giant Dragon, boundless and magnificent, Qi and blood surged like a tide, concealing terrifying power.

“This Physical Body…”

Everyone heard the pulsating sound coming from Eternal Mother’s Physical Body.

They only felt as if their hearts were being hammered every second, making them cough up blood.

Such was the case for the onlookers; Chu Jiang, who was at the center of the battlefield, was undoubtedly enduring immense pressure.

Wu Ling King believed Chu Jiang was about to be defeated, and Eternal Mother would use her full power, enough to suppress Chu Jiang and rescue him.

“Suppress!”

Eternal Mother approached coldly, each step creating a lotus, her entire body pulsating more intensely, like the thunderous sound of the Great Dao, intending to shatter Chu Jiang’s heart and dismantle the power of his Physical Body.

To be precise, Chu Jiang did feel some pressure. This was the only Cultivator in the same realm who had been able to fight him for so long since he began his journey.

The opponent’s Physical Body and Soul were no weaker than his, and her Law Domain was even higher.

His True King's Eye penetrated layers of Void Realm, seeing Eternal Mother approaching from the deep Void Realm, but he did not set up any defenses.

Relying on his super strong perception and unmatched Physical Body, Chu Jiang transformed into the Void Realm, becoming Formless. His Primordial Cavity Heaven erupted to its extreme, unleashing the Demon-Suppressing Divine Fist to strike Eternal Mother’s main body.

A monstrous red glow burst forth, annihilating everything in its path.

It was the Divine Restriction Power.

“What?”

Eternal Mother subconsciously summoned a Magic Treasure to block, but it was instantly knocked away. Her white jade-like large hand shot up again, but this punch made her scalp tingle.

Chu Jiang, using the Divine Restriction Power, launched a world-shaking fierce attack. His movements were grand and sweeping, his lifeblood boiling, and his Pure Yang Immortal Seed erupted, forcing Eternal Mother to retreat steadily, her bones trembling, and blood seeping from her pores.

“Chu Jiang still has a shocking hidden card!”

The world was once again startled. Chu Jiang, who had just been suppressed by Eternal Mother, suddenly reached a turning point and was about to turn the tide.

Eternal Mother became the suppressed party.

Wu Ling King bled from all five orifices, his face grim and ugly. He was almost refined. How many hidden cards did this damned Chu Jiang still have?

“Bastard!”

Mingde Great Confucian’s eyes were bloodshot, almost fuming with rage. He looked at Eternal Mother, thinking, ‘You’re a peerless expert who has dominated the rankings for a thousand years, burst forth with your Divine Might and completely suppress him!’

He was almost dying of anxiety.

His mood was like a roller coaster, up and down, incredibly stifling.

Prince Wu’s face was even more gloomy. In another moment, his father might truly be unable to withstand Chu Jiang’s refining.

More people’s Souls trembled violently, their bodies shaking, their expressions excited. Could Chu Jiang truly defeat the number one on the Heavenly Ranking today?

“Law Domain of Heaven and Earth!”

Eternal Mother lightly shouted, unleashing an ancient Divine Ability. An eight-armed Vajra Divine Form, shattering the Void Realm, emerged from behind her, making her appear like a Buddhist Venerable.

“This is one of the seventy-two great Divine Abilities of ancient times, Law Domain of Heaven and Earth!”

A master recognized this Divine Ability and let out a startled cry.

Law Domain of Heaven and Earth, in ancient times, was almost standard for powerful beings.

But in this era, it was almost extinct.

Its Divine Might was unfathomable.

Chu Jiang activated Myriad Manifestations Divine Attraction. The Azure Emperor Dharma Form and the Brahma Dharma Idol formed a special array, erupting with even stronger power.

He stepped on an ice Dragon, soaring through the Nine Heavens, and the temperature of heaven and earth plummeted.

His blazing body erupted with sun-like divine light, horrifying, and directly moved towards Eternal Mother, launching an Ironblood suppression.

“Why doesn’t he avoid an ancient Divine Ability?”

“He’s crazy, crazy!”

The world was shocked. Not only did Chu Jiang not avoid it, but he actively attacked, directly clashing with Law Domain of Heaven and Earth.

The eight-armed Vajra Divine Form, materialized by Law Domain of Heaven and Earth, clapped several giant hands together, as if pushing the entire sky, moving and squeezing forward, crushing all enemies in its path.

“Overestimating himself!”

A cold light flashed in Eternal Mother’s eyes. She controlled Law Domain of Heaven and Earth, directly suppressing the Void Realm where Chu Jiang was.

Boom!

Chu Jiang’s face was cold and emotionless. His arms moved, and the Divine Restriction Power within his body swept out like a tidal wave, traversing the Void Realm, as large sections of the sky vanished.

The eight-armed Vajra Divine Form was pierced by Chu Jiang’s single blow. He shattered seven golden blood-colored arms with his bare hands, and large amounts of spiritual rain scattered across heaven and earth.

“Om…”

Chu Jiang’s Pure Yang Immortal Seed vibrated, like a gluttonous beast, devouring all the energy around Eternal Mother.

His blood boiled in a short time, and all his previous injuries were healed.

Even the Pure Yang Immortal Seed grew a bit stronger.

“Boy, you…”

Eternal Mother’s eyes beneath the mist were terrifying. The mist almost dispersed, revealing her true face.

Before she could react, she suddenly felt immense pressure in this world, making her movements very difficult.

She looked up.

She saw a green Heaven Splitting Spear piercing through layers of the Void Realm, heading towards her, breaking through all obstacles.

“Kill!”

Chu Jiang clenched his fist, his eyes like knives. His Formless Demon Subduing Body and Brahma True King Skill erupted to their extreme. Various martial arts and Divine Abilities were imbued into this world-shaking punch.

With the Heaven Splitting Spear clearing the way, this world-shaking punch met no resistance.

With a bang, it directly struck Eternal Mother’s Physical Body.

A large amount of bloody light gushed out.

Pfft!

Eternal Mother spat blood three thousand meters away, almost falling out of the Void Realm.

“Junior, you…”

Eternal Mother gritted her teeth, losing her usual composure and calmness. Her body erupted again, displaying forbidden power.

On her body, the ten great heavens erupted.

Boom!

The eleventh Cavity Heaven.

The twelfth Cavity Heaven's phantom appeared on her body.

In an instant, she broke through layers of heavenly suppression and escaped the blockade.

“What?”

“Twelve Cavity Heavens?”

King Song was shocked. Eternal Mother had actually broken the world’s limit, manifesting eleven Cavity Heavens, and the twelfth Cavity Heaven seemed to be nearing completion.

Completely reaching Perfection.

Ancient records stated that before entering the three great Heavenly Mandate realms, comprehending the three layers of Law Domain, breaking the limit, and condensing twelve great heavens could potentially forge an unparalleled Foundation.

This was considered a Divine Dao Foundation.

It could increase the probability of becoming a god.

Of course, one could also take the path of Cavity Heaven integration, but that path was even more difficult.

Eternal Mother’s ambition was truly great.

She was not aiming to Breakthrough the Rongtian Stage, nor the Heavenly Mandate Realm, but to become a god and prove her Divine position.

If she truly succeeded, Eternal Mother would definitely become an invincible expert in the future, dominating the entire world, looking down upon the human realm, and becoming a true Dominator.

Three layers of Law Domain, plus twelve Cavity Heavens—any one of these, if brought out, could sweep through ancient heroes, unrivaled.

There truly was such a terrifying person in this world.

Why was she not bound by Lifespan and could live so long?

These were all unsolved mysteries.

He thought King Guang of Qin was the most deeply hidden person, but he didn’t expect him to still be a step behind Eternal Mother.

“Chu Jiang, we will meet again!”

Eternal Mother’s eyes were cold. After erupting her twelve great heavens, she did not continue to fight. Chu Jiang’s strength was only slightly below hers. Continuing the battle would not allow her to retrieve Wu Ling King, so she simply fled, disappearing from the spot.

As if she had never appeared.

“One move short!”

Chu Jiang did not pursue. Eternal Mother’s strength was too Heaven-Defying. If she wanted to leave, among the people he knew, probably only Chu Emperor himself could suppress her.

But he could not leave the imperial capital. With such strength, almost no one could restrain her.

Unless he broke through to the Rongtian Stage.

“Holy crap… Eternal Mother escaped!”

People all over the world were shocked, shouting in amazement. Chu Jiang, who was fighting against the number one on the Heavenly Ranking, actually forced her to retreat.

At this moment.

Chu Jiang’s majestic power covered the world; even the sky could not suppress his sharp edge, shaking the hearts of the world. No matter which force it was, they were all in an uproar.

Some onlookers were still in a daze, unable to believe the fact that the number one on the Heavenly Ranking had been defeated and fled. It was simply too fantastical.

Eternal Mother had dominated the Heavenly Ranking for over a thousand years, never having suffered a defeat.

There had never even been a draw.

Wu Ling King was in despair, sinking into dead silence. Without Eternal Mother, he alone could not escape from Chu Jiang’s grasp.

Chu Jiang’s combat power was too strong; he was simply a super monster.

“Nonsense, impossible, absolutely impossible…”

Mingde Great Confucian’s eyes were bloodshot, falling into madness. How could the arrogant Eternal Mother run away? Impossible, fake, it was all fake.

He could not accept this cruel reality.

Academician Wanfa, on the side, had already collapsed to the ground, almost fainting.

“It’s over!”
