507: Seventh level of the realm, self-created martial arts: Hand of God

【Year 500,000: The foundation of your Law Domain continues to grow, but reaching the Law Domain Seventh Level you desire is still a distant dream.】

【Year 1,000,000: Your Law Domain is at Perfection, and there seems to be no higher realm. You attempt to open the Seventh Level Law Domain but fail repeatedly.】

【Year 2,000,000: You ponder fruitlessly and fall asleep. Three thousand years pass in a dream. What year is it now? Upon waking, a flash of inspiration strikes you.】

【Year 4,000,000: You forcefully take half a step, but lack the energy support to fully evolve into a complete Seventh Level Law Domain.】

Chu Jiang's expression was calm as he slowly took out the Dragon Breath Sky Fire Fruit, a large number of Heaven And Earth Treasure, and a massive amount of Spirit Stone.

As the demon life essence continued to pour in, the panel vibrated again.

【Year 4,200,000: You consume the Dragon Breath Sky Fire Fruit and dozens of High Grade Heaven And Earth Treasure. Your Cultivate efficiency greatly increases.】

【Year 4,250,000: You continue to consume 200,000 High-Grade Spirit Stone. You break through your limits and Breakthrough to the Law Domain Seventh Level. You now possess the qualifications to fight against a Rongtian Eighth Level.】

【Over millions of years, you have gathered the strengths of all the techniques you Cultivate and created a martial art. You name it Hand of the Heavens.】

【In a world where the Law is incomplete, the Law Domain Seventh Level is the limit you can Breakthrough.】

【demon life essence: 100,000 years】

...

Boom!

Chu Jiang opened his eyes. His Physical Body was like a gluttonous black hole, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a hundred miles frantically poured into him.

A terrifying surge of magical power, causing dread, spread in all directions.

After stepping into the Law Domain Seventh Level, even his magical power had condensed several times over. His lake of magical power was boundless, with thunder and fire raging.

Looking inward.

His internal organs glowed, and his Qi and blood surged like a mighty river, with an incessant roar, stirring up endless power.

The same Move could now unleash greater power than before.

This was a qualitative change.

"No wonder the Seventh Level is so difficult to Breakthrough!"

Chu Jiang murmured, not only exhausting his Lifespan but also consuming most of his family's assets.

【Self-Created · Hand of the Heavens (Transcendent and Sacred)】

【The Hand of the Heavens contains the power of five attributes: wind, thunder, fire, ice, and wood. It can be freely transformed, or all five attributes can erupt simultaneously, evolving into world power. The locked target will endure spatial dimension crushing, fall into a Nine Heavens illusion, and their Physical Body will disintegrate.】

(Note: A Heaven and Earth Realm can only withstand one full five-attribute burst within three days, to avoid exceeding the Physical Body's bearing limit.)

This simple and crude description made Chu Jiang's breathing quicken.

The martial art he created was truly exaggerated.

"Hoo..."

Chu Jiang calmed down. Now, with just the Law Domain Seventh Level, he possessed the combat power of a Rongtian Eighth Level. If he fully unleashed his other trump cards, he estimated he could contend with a Rongtian Ninth Level.

Not to mention unprecedented, at least unparalleled in this era.

Which Heaven and Earth Realm possessed such terrifying combat power?

"Now, even if War God's grandfather came, it would be useless!" Chu Jiang said with a faint smile.

Adding the Puppet of Mystic Mechanism City, he had three thousand transcendent-level high-end forces.

And Snow Phoenix, a top-tier expert.

He then stood up, his figure disappearing from the spot without causing the slightest spatial ripple.

The next instant.

Chu Jiang arrived outside the mountain, looking at the thousand-plus Demon Suppression Guard with imposing Aura, and said coldly, "Depart, march to... Dian Prefecture!"

"Yes!"

The Demon Suppression Guard all shouted in response.

In the Void Realm.

Snow Phoenix silently vanished, covering thousands of miles in an instant, heading towards Dian Prefecture.

This was naturally to retrieve the antidote for the Life-Death Gu and Yue Xuanji's parents. Otherwise, if they were to be used as a threat later, the danger needed to be nipped in the bud.

...

Dian Prefecture, Sacred Mountain.

A cold figure, completely merged with Heaven and Earth, moved through the Sacred Mountain, heading towards the Elder Council.

In a dozen breaths.

A luxurious palace complex, as if made of glazed glass, beautiful and magnificent, appeared before Snow Phoenix.

At the entrance of the Elder Council, there were still many strong Cultivators patrolling, but no one could detect Snow Phoenix's presence. A Rongtian Ninth Level was an almost invincible existence in this world. If she were discovered, that would be truly strange.

At this moment.

Elder Council, deliberation hall.

A grey-robed Elder rushed in from outside, looking somewhat nervous, and said, "Grand Elder, this is bad. Chu Jiang has already cleared Lei Prefecture. The Pacification Envoy of West Prefecture has rebelled, and our people have been killed. His actions are too fast. I'm afraid it won't be long before he reaches Dian Prefecture..."

Grand Elder Gu Tiancheng frowned and said, "That fast?"

The grey-robed Elder: "News from Lei Prefecture says that the Yun Family found a Genius with a blood bodhi body and used a tong shou lantern to burn Chu Jiang's Lifespan as a price."

"The result... the blood bodhi body's Lifespan was exhausted, but Chu Jiang's Qi and blood didn't diminish at all. Instead, he was consumed to death."

What?

Upon hearing this.

Everyone was also shocked.

The Yun Family in Lei Prefecture had raised a blood bodhi body; they naturally knew about it, otherwise, they wouldn't have given the tong shou lantern to the Yun Family.

A blood bodhi body possessed at least 2,500 years of Lifespan. Even with his Lifespan exhausted, it couldn't shake him in the slightest.

This Chu Jiang was truly a monster. Did he have no weaknesses at all?

He was a complete six-sided warrior.

"Grand Elder, has War God been created yet? Otherwise, we can only awaken Gu King." Someone asked, his expression grim.

Gu King was the supreme ruler of the Miao Territory, with unfathomable strength. Due to environmental reasons, he had been in slumber for a thousand years.

The price of his intervention was severe; it would greatly accelerate his Lifespan's decline. Even if he could kill Chu Jiang, the Miao Territory might lose Gu King, severely weakening their combat power.

If War God succeeded, it would be fine, but if it failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"War God has already succeeded. Now, only one more thing is needed."

Gu Tiancheng said.

"What?"

"These are Priest's original words. If you ask me, I don't know either."

Everyone was dissatisfied. At this point, were they still playing riddle games?

While everyone was deliberating, Snow Phoenix arrived at the Forbidden Ground where Yue Xuanji said the Life-Death Gu antidote was hidden. Rows of jade bottles were placed on shelves, protected by Restrictions.

Once a living being touched them, there would be an immediate reaction.

In Snow Phoenix's mechanical pupils, a blue ripple appeared. Various Restrictions were clear to her eyes. "Difficulty of cracking: low. Time required: half a breath."

In just an instant.

Taking all the antidotes, Snow Phoenix disappeared again.

...

South Garden, in a quiet pavilion.

There were three people in the pavilion.

A middle-aged beautiful woman, a middle-aged man, and a white-robed woman.

The beautiful woman clutched a jade pendant engraved with the character 'Xuan' tightly, her knuckles white from the effort; the middle-aged man's right arm trembled unnaturally, his face rather grim.

The last woman, like a Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, was now in a state of deathly stillness. Her neck was covered with purple-black Gu lines, and her breathing was as faint as a candle in the wind.

The two were Yue Xuanji's father, Yue Yuntian, and her mother, Ye Qing.

Ye Qing sighed, "The Elder Council has already taken one of my daughters. Now they want to take another one. Can't they just let her go? All day long it's War God... War God, a bunch of madmen!"

The Miao Territory Elder Council, hundreds of years ago, turned her daughter into a cold and ruthless killing machine, to be the War God's mother body, attempting to mass-produce War God.

Later, they failed and then set their sights on her eldest daughter, repeatedly sending people to hunt her down. Although they held high positions in the Elder Council, they could only help in secret.

The thought of her being alone and drifting for so many years, without anyone to rely on, and still having to evade pursuit, caused her heart excruciating pain.

"Xuanji, that girl, has always been clever. Even if she's alone, she wouldn't be caught so easily, unlike her sister..." Yue Yuntian's face twitched, and his arm trembled even more violently.

War God, over a thousand years, had already stained the hands of too many people with blood. Countless Miao Territory citizens paid the price in blood, just to create a vague god to conquer the world.

In the end, it was still the common people who suffered.

Although a small number of people objected, they could not change the overall situation.

The two looked at the white-robed woman simultaneously. She was their daughter, Yue Ruyin, the first generation War God's mother body. Now completely worthless, she had been returned by the Elder Council.

But... she might never awaken.

"Yuntian, has the Gu in your body acted up again, or have they implanted a new Gu?" Ye Qing looked at Yue Yuntian, forcefully suppressing her trembling arm, concern mixed with anxiety.

"It's nothing, just bear with it and it'll pass!"

Yue Yuntian broke out in a cold sweat, his body trembling more intensely.

"These bastards, holding a personal grudge, refused to give you the antidote. I'll go to the Elder Council right now and demand an explanation. You're only under house arrest, not an imprisoned criminal." Ye Qing said angrily.

"Don't go... Even if you do, they won't give it to you. They're currently preoccupied with Deputy Commander of the Demon Suppression Division Chu Jiang's inspection of the Miao Territory Three Prefectures, and they're very annoyed and irritable."

Yue Yuntian gasped, slowly saying.

The Miao Territory Elder Council was accustomed to being arrogant and overbearing. In a thousand years, who dared to oppose them? Chu Jiang was definitely the first.

With the Great Priest and Gu King not appearing, there was currently no way to contend with Chu Jiang.

"Good! Let all these scumbags be annihilated!"

Ye Qing supported Yue Yuntian, her face turning cold. She wished that all those who tormented her daughter would die.

Just as the two were speaking.

A figure as cold as snow appeared out of thin air in the pavilion.

Snow Phoenix's blue, cold eyes scanned the three people in the pavilion.

"You are..."

Yue Yuntian and the others' pupils constricted. Seeing the arrival, their expressions were startled. The Elder Council was heavily guarded; how could an outsider be here?

"Warning: A Rongtian Seventh Level life form is detected awakening. Warning..."

A voice suddenly echoed in Snow Phoenix's mind.

Bang!

Before the two could react, Snow Phoenix waved her hand and knocked them out.

"Target confirmed."

Snow Phoenix's mechanical eyes finished scanning. She immediately took the three people and instantly vanished from the small house, appearing thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye, as if she had never existed.

And just as Snow Phoenix left with the people, the sky above the entire Sacred Mountain turned pale. In the depths of the Sacred Mountain, a terrifying Aura surged, and a pair of eyes opened.

"Interesting."

A hoarse voice shook thirteen snow-capped mountains. The Miao Territory citizens on the snow-capped mountains suddenly began to prostrate towards the Sacred Mountain, their pupils dull, like pilgrims...
