CHAPTER 368: 237: THE ERA OF MECHA? MASTERY OF DIVINE SKILLS!

"Genes? The best way for human evolution? When Jiang Tian was around, why didn’t this damn Konos broadcast it live then? Is it really a case of ’when the cat’s away, the mice will play’?"

"Jiang Tian was around? When Jiang Tian was present, this Konos was merely a Fifth Rank Genetic War God, no different from an ordinary person without any strength in Jiang Tian’s eyes. It’s only because Jiang Tian has left Xuanxing that he dares to talk so tough."

"I’m in the military and just got online. We have confidentiality regulations; there are many things we cannot reveal. The only thing I can disclose to you guys is that Martial Arts is definitely the best way for human evolution. It won’t take more than three months for this to be verified."

"I’m looking forward to it! In my opinion, genetics has two major problems. First, genes are, after all, foreign substances entering one’s body. No matter how much research is done, they ultimately have side effects. Second, subsequent improvement cannot rely on self-development and is heavily dependent on drugs. One could say that after becoming a genetic warrior, how far and how high you can go depends not on your Talent, but on whether you have the capital to support you."

"That’s why Freedom Country would choose genetics. After all, it’s a world of capital. If Martial Arts were promoted and someone like Jiang Tian emerged, even the Statue of Liberty might be blown up by a single punch."

"Jiang Tian is truly an extraordinary genius. Even now, Freedom Country’s Mechas have compensated for their previous disadvantages. They no longer face the critical vulnerability where a spiritual power attack could instantly kill a Mecha Master. Despite this, I still believe that if Jiang Tian fought a Mecha, Jiang Tian would definitely be the winner."

"From what we see now, Mechas are certainly superior to celestial beings. Shattering the Void and attaining an indestructible nature is only a form of immortality within Martial Artist circles. If everyone were human, I believe our Martial Arts’ Sixth Realm would definitely crush any Genetic War God from Freedom Country. But it’s hard to compete when they’re using cheats like Mechas. A colossus weighing two or three thousand tons, once it appears, could inflict massive explosive damage, even on celestial beings. Not to mention the various laser weapons on Mechas; if a large number of them hit, even celestial beings could fall."

"Konos’s taunts are undoubtedly stirring our rage, hoping to lure Wang Tianren to the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm in the Pacific Ocean. This isn’t about exploring the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm; it’s obviously about using Mechas to strike at Martial Arts!"

In the Martial Artist Alliance, numerous Martial Artists were indignant after watching Konos’s interview.

They all knew that no matter how strong Konos was, he was just a Puppet put forward by Freedom Country.

Behind interviews and broadcasts lay the games between superpowers.

In the past six months, Xia Country has developed too swiftly, even if its territory has not expanded.

Many countries are aligning with Xia Country, fully restoring the prosperity of the old days with countless vassals.

If Freedom Country wants to stabilize the situation, it must reassert its status as the only superpower on Xuanxing!

「Shengjing.」

In a conference room, a huge display screen showed everything in the depths of the Pacific Ocean.

This was probably the most mysterious Heaven and Earth Secret Realm on Xuanxing. Even five years into the Primordial Qi Recovery, the stability window of the Secret Realm’s passage was extremely short.

Only occasionally would some powerful Mutant Beasts leap out. These Mutant Beasts were strange and treacherous, more intelligent than those on land; they lay dormant and grew in the deep sea.

This region gradually became the most dangerous area on Xuanxing.

Even Xia Country and Freedom Country could only impose military blockades, suppressing them with conventional weapons; they dared not send in Martial Artists or genetic warriors.

"Wang Tianren, with your current strength, what do you think are your chances of survival if you enter this Heaven and Earth Secret Realm right now?"

Those seated in the meeting were undoubtedly the most powerful figures in Xia Country.

As the First Leader spoke, everyone turned their gaze towards Wang Yan—also known as Wang Tianren—seated on the other side. Since Jiang Shu left Xuanxing, Wang Tianren had undoubtedly become the leading figure in Xia Country’s Martial Arts.

With the support of national resources, his Martial Arts prowess grew by the day. Three months prior, he had formed the Holy Embryo, possessing terrifying strength.

Even if the so-called three Genetic War Gods came, Wang Tianren was confident he could slay them directly.

But now, what he faced was not some Genetic War God.

It was the trump card Freedom Country used against Martial Arts: the Deep Sea Avenger, a behemoth weighing thousands of tons, equipped with both melee and ranged weaponry, and exuding immense power!

Xia Country had long speculated, based on data, that if the Deep Sea Avenger, instead of the nuclear overlord, had appeared in the Pacific Ocean half a year ago, Fusang would not have sunk.

The Ames War God would not have perished.

The Deep Sea Avenger would have, in the most invincible manner, directly killed Orochi, the strongest creature on Xuanxing at that time.

Even if Jiang Shu had rushed over, he would not have been its match.

Everyone could only watch helplessly as the Deep Sea Avenger raged arrogantly in the waters near Xia Country.

And now, Freedom Country was undoubtedly entertaining this idea again.

"Entering the deep Pacific Ocean, about a thirty percent chance of survival. Entering the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, it’s nine chances of death to one of life."

Wang Yan shook his head, replying very directly. After stepping into the Fetal Breathing Realm, he had considered venturing into the depths of the Pacific Ocean to nip the danger in the bud. However, as soon as the idea formed, an indescribable, overwhelming terror enveloped him. This was the Way of Sincerity, a premonition that allowed him to foresee! It was also after that day that he fully realized the current phase of Xuanxing was not actually safe. Beneath the seemingly peaceful surface, too many dangers still lurked.
