The devil descended from the sky, and his fists suppressed the mountains and rivers

Chapter 318 A Spiritual Journey Through the Mortal World, Free from Taboos, Known Throughout the Land (Part 2)
The people of Donghua were unaware of the Eastern King's true concerns, but the current situation relieved them.

The best outcome would be if this person didn't actually kill anyone, at least it wouldn't cause chaos in the entire city or even Donghua.

Major tragedies can be avoided, but minor disturbances are hard to escape.

After all, the city was under martial law, which caused a huge commotion. In addition, the Eastern King's actions were unrestrained and extremely conspicuous, making it difficult for people not to notice him.

A radiant light appeared, and a golden crow soared across the sky—a wondrous scene that could not be concealed.

Many people in the city streets that the Eastern King passed through were under martial law and stayed at home, and they all witnessed this strange phenomenon.

"Holy crap, what is that?! A giant golden bird?! Am I dreaming?"

"Judging by its appearance, its wingspan is probably over a hundred meters. Wait a minute?! This shape, with three legs, doesn't it look like the legendary three-legged golden crow?"

"A mythical beast has appeared in reality?! Is the martial law in effect today because of this thing?"

"It's highly likely. This is too fantastical. Could it be that a cultivation civilization has invaded reality?"

"Do you remember the news video we saw not long ago? Something similar seems to have happened in the Mediterranean. A giant eye appeared in the sky, plunging the entire city of Jun into chaos. I heard that many innocent people died. God, what is happening to this world?"

"What should we do? Should we try to hide? We're so close, won't that cause any problems?"

"."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion. Some were worried about their own safety, while others, eager for a spectacle, took out their phones and started snapping photos of the sky, then shared the videos on social media platforms and in their friends' groups. This caused the information to spread rapidly, and with such a large volume of dissemination and attention, it was impossible to completely suppress it. It quickly sparked a huge discussion throughout Donghua University.

The legendary creature, the Golden Crow, soaring into the sky immediately ignited public opinion.

The relevant departments in Donghua have been trying to suppress information about what happened in the Mediterranean region in order to reduce unnecessary panic in the public opinion.

Therefore, apart from netizens who pay close attention to the martial arts world, a large portion of the general public is not very familiar with the situation in the Mediterranean region.

However, once the video was released, many netizens began to compare it with events in the Mediterranean region.

"In the Mediterranean region, I've heard of some mysterious figures who have broken the taboos of life and lived from ancient times to the present. Their power is incredibly strong. The giant eye in the sky above Juncheng is the work of such a person. This golden crow does look lifelike, but it always seems to lack a certain liveliness. Could it be that there is a similar person behind it all?"

"Have more videos surfaced? Closer-up videos? For example, videos showing the ground beneath the Golden Crow?"

"."

During the discussion, netizens discovered some suspicious points.

But soon, many new videos were uploaded, and this question was answered.

Netizens have taken close-up photos of the ground beneath the Golden Crow.

In the video, a figure is walking on an empty street.

His skin was like jade, his black hair was tied up, and he wore a feather robe made of radiance, like a celestial being traveling in the mortal world.

No film or television work can capture that extraordinary imagery and atmosphere.

This person walks and stops, and with each step he takes, his figure appears tens or hundreds of meters away as if he has teleported. Many times, the camera cannot capture his figure in time and needs to be constantly adjusted.

As the video camera zooms out, you can see that as this god-like figure moves, a giant golden crow in the sky closely follows above his head, while in the upper sky, a large number of helicopters and fighter jets circle around him.

These videos all prove that the person on the ground is the source and center of everything.

"Holy crap, it really is a person?! No, perhaps it should be called an 'immortal'?!"

"His aura is too strong. Even through the video, you feel a sense of oppression. And is this really real? How can his figure move like he's teleporting? It looks like the game screen is lagging."

"Those rumors are true. There really are terrifying beings in this world that transcend the mundane. How could just one person cause the entire city to do something like this?!"

"."

The internet is filled with all sorts of unbelievable voices.

Donghua is a country whose military strength is among the best in the world.

The fact that this situation occurs can only mean one thing: trying to stop such people from taking action can come at a great cost.

What is this kind of person if not a god?
Even though martial arts are now flourishing and many people are aware of the abilities of Saint Realm cultivators, and given Yi Beidou's previous rampage in Japan, it still seems unbelievable.

It's important to understand that Donghua is not Japan.

The Sleepers possess abilities that are comparable to those of gods on earth; their actions would be considered miracles in ancient times.

Such a person no longer has the weaknesses of the ancients, and always acts without any taboos.

In fact, if one were to look through historical records, one could find many similar accounts. However, in the past, technology was underdeveloped, population density was low, and information dissemination was difficult, so these records gradually evolved into legends.

But we live in an era of information explosion. Once such a person is born and walks the world, he will be known to everyone instantly and will be impossible to hide.

This Mediterranean incident served as the catalyst for the world to learn the truth about the myth.

Discussions raged online, but the temporary command center paid no attention to them.

Although the Eastern King did not show any aggressive tendencies, they would not let their guard down. Who knew if the other party would wait until the city center before making a move?

For more than an hour, all staff and soldiers were on high alert. The general public, who were just watching the spectacle, knew exactly how serious the consequences would be if something went wrong.

It's quite possible that nuclear weapons could explode in the next second. Fortunately, Dongwang strolled through the city, heading west without stopping, and in less than two hours he had already left the city limits and entered the suburbs.

The threat has been temporarily eliminated.

Everyone in the command center couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. They felt weak all over and didn't even realize when their clothes were soaked with sweat.

In today's peaceful and stable Tung Hwa University, many people are experiencing the feeling of surviving a catastrophe for the first time.

What they still can't believe is that this state of tension, and even that of the entire national leadership, was caused by one person crossing the city.

This world is truly magical and insane.

The crisis has temporarily passed, but Zhao Ping and other high-ranking officials at Donghua University in Kyoto show no signs of letting their guard down.

After all, according to the Eastern King's route, he will almost traverse the entire territory of Donghua, and this is just the first stop.

Any cities he might pass through subsequently must be prepared in advance and martial law must be declared to minimize the impact and unrest as much as possible.

Tens of millions of people made way for the Eastern King's journey.

Within just one day, all regions received instructions from Kyoto and began martial law drills, while the entire domestic online public opinion was in an uproar.

Countless citizens are demanding that the authorities disclose relevant information, respect the public's right to know, and that everyone should know the truth and what they are about to face.

Faced with overwhelming public opinion and the appeals from numerous cities and counties along the Eastern King's route, the higher-ups had no choice but to take it seriously and could no longer conceal it. After modifying and concealing some of the information about the secret organizations and the ancients to a certain extent, they made it public to the people.

In publicly available information, the secret organization is defined as a sorcery organization, and the Elders are sorcerers.

Through special means, they discovered a miraculous active tissue left over from ancient times and conducted numerous human experiments. They found a way to transfer consciousness and accumulate their own power by sacrificing living people and combining it with the miraculous active tissue. Over a long period of time, they passed down the ancient consciousness from generation to generation and gained unimaginable power.

According to the description in the materials, the secretive organizations have become the source of wars and turmoil in the secular world, hidden in the dark side of the world, for their own interests. The Ancients, in the process of passing on their consciousness from generation to generation, have gradually lost their humanity and sociality. This has made them no longer care about the lives of ordinary people, nor do they care about secular rules. Their personalities have become more and more distorted and extreme, making them extremely dangerous beings.

The document also acknowledges that the current unrest in the Mediterranean region is linked to secret organizations and ancient figures.

The person who appeared in Donghua this time and caused great turmoil was one of the most powerful among the ancients.

The release of this information immediately caused an uproar throughout Donghua University.

Do mysterious organizations truly exist, hidden in the shadows, influencing the course of the world? Do ancient beings truly exist, passing down their consciousness from generation to generation through special methods to achieve immortality?
In other words, many myths are not myths at all; aren't these figures just legends?
Although rumors about secret organizations and the Elders had been circulating for some time, the official confirmation now carries a completely different significance.

"Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable!! Isn't this the legendary 'immortal' of Donghua?"

"What kind of evil magic is this? It can grant immortality? Does such a technology really exist?"

How many ancient beings are there in the world? And how many mysterious organizations are there?

"According to the information, these ancient beings usually hide themselves and blend into the secular world. In other words, there may be such beings around you and me?"

"."

An unprecedented world was revealed to everyone, causing great commotion. Many people's worldviews were overturned overnight, and a sense of panic spread amidst the discussions.

The countries of the Mediterranean region are now in chaos due to the appearance of the Ancient Ones, and now in Donghua, the mere appearance of one Ancient One has caused such a great commotion.

In the unknown shadows, no one knows how many more such powerful figures exist. If they were to actually make a move, who could protect ordinary citizens? Could anyone stand against them? Could a national organization do that?

Amid this growing pessimism, the authorities were forced to intervene again to guide public opinion.

First, it should be stated that there are also differences in strength among the ancient beings, and there is a huge gap between them. Ordinary ancient beings are still within the range of modern fire weapons. The ancient beings that appeared in Donghua this time are extremely rare and powerful, but strategic weapons can still pose a threat to them. This is why they did not commit any offenses after entering Donghua.

Furthermore, the Ancients are not invincible. In the struggle for control of the Mediterranean region, experts from the Holy Realm of Donghua participated, and in the Battle of Juncheng, they suppressed other secret organizations and the Ancients, achieving brilliant results.

After this statement was made, many Tung Wah residents remembered that they seemed to have heard news before that Tung Wah Sacred Heart was involved in events in the Mediterranean region.

"Yes, the Ancients are not invincible. We still have warriors fighting in the Mediterranean region. Mr. Yi and his men are no less powerful than the Ancients, and may even be stronger!"

"Although the ancients used evil magic to prolong their lives and survive for hundreds or thousands of years, the geniuses of our time can still suppress them!"

"What a pity! Our strongest Saint Realm warriors have all gone to the Mediterranean region to participate in the war. If Mr. Yi were in the country, he would definitely not have allowed that person to run rampant and swagger around like this!"

"Judging from that person's route, it seems that he is heading west. His target is likely the Mediterranean region. Perhaps soon, this person may actually come into contact with Mr. Yi and his group."

"Ah, Mr. Yi and his team will definitely win, right?"

"."

The official propaganda offensive was very effective, and the public's panic was quickly calmed down. As long as they could see hope, they would not collapse.

However, the focus of public opinion has also shifted, and the attention of the whole country has been focused on the war in the Mediterranean region. This time, even the relevant departments cannot completely block the war situation and news there.

Special Security Bureau Headquarters.

Zhao Ping looked at the satellite imagery of Dong Wang's movement displayed on the screen. At this moment, the other side had already entered the central region of Donghua. Listening to his subordinates' report on domestic public opinion, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

This incident happened too suddenly, and this handling was inappropriate.

Public attention has been diverted, but if the situation in the Mediterranean changes, this bomb could still explode.

Faced with such an incomprehensible monster, can Yi Beidou and his companions suppress it and achieve dazzling results?
