Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 436 Overwhelming the World: The Terrifying Full Strength of Zhu Jinzhen

"terrible."

"Old Li, are you sure this is the terrestrial Celestial Realm?"

"Back then, Wang Xianzhi's aura was overwhelming, his divine power shook the heavens and earth, and he stirred up the winds and clouds. But to me, he was far inferior to even one-tenth of those people, no, even one-hundredth!"

"That aura was like a series of giant stars falling and pressing down."

"If it weren't for the celestial phenomena, I feel that the slightest sweep of energy from that test would have killed me on the spot."

Xu Fengnian, his face deathly pale, quickly spoke to Li Chungang.

Having received the blessing bestowed by Zhu Jinzhen, he ascended to the rank of Grandmaster of Celestial Phenomena in one step. He was originally full of vigor, but now he is frightened like a quail.

It wasn't that Xu Fengnian was cowardly, but rather that the aura emanating from the Cangyun and Tiance generals was too terrifying.

"puff!"

Instead of Li Chungang's explanation, Xu Fengnian was met with a mouthful of blood. As the terrifying aura that seemed to topple the heavens disappeared, Li Chungang could no longer hold back and spat it out.

"Old Li..."

"I am fine."

Li Chungang waved to stop Xu Fengnian from approaching, wiped the remaining crimson blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with deep resentment and shock. He had used his sword to challenge the heavens, seeking the aura of the celestial beings. Before long, he would be able to ascend to the heavens and become a true terrestrial celestial being.

He had originally intended to take this opportunity to test the strengths and weaknesses of Cangyun and the generals of Tiance, and to see how much of a gap there was between him and them.

As a result, his sword intent and sword heart were almost crushed in a single exchange.

If the other party hadn't been distracted, Li Chungang had no doubt that his swordsmanship would have been broken, leaving him devastated until he broke through the shadows in his heart and regained his sword spirit, at which point he might have been able to return to the realm of a terrestrial immortal.

As Li Chungang healed his injuries, he thought about the immense aura he had sensed earlier, which was at least tens of thousands of miles away. His heart was filled with endless waves, just like the trembling heavens and earth.

"It's really scary."

"What exactly happened over there?"

"Also, wasn't it only this morning that news of the Ming Emperor's seclusion spread? Why do I feel as if he is tens of thousands of miles away, no, hundreds of thousands of miles away?"

"Such methods are probably beyond the reach of even celestial beings on land."

……

The Ming Dynasty, Wudang Mountain.

Zhang Sanfeng stood 1,500 feet above the ground, looking down at the surging sea of ​​clouds over the seventy-two peaks of Wudang. He glanced at the East China Sea from time to time and looked back at the capital. For a moment, he couldn't help but think of the saying, "Talented people emerge in every generation of the martial arts world, each leading the way for hundreds of years."

The Yangtze River's waves push the previous ones forward, leaving him feeling utterly defeated, as if he had been swept away on the shore.

"I thought His Majesty the Emperor was already unparalleled in the world, but I never expected that his generals would also have such terrifying strength. Each of them has already surpassed the heavens and the mortals without making a sound."

"And besides, didn't you just ascend the throne yesterday?"

"Why did we end up outside the Nine Provinces today! And why are we exuding such a terrifying aura? Could it be that we encountered some formidable enemy?" Zhang Sanfeng frowned deeply, his mind racing through the names of those old people, monsters, Buddhists, Taoists, Confucians, and other powerful figures from the pre-Qin period who might have survived.

However, no matching object could be found.

After all, Zhang Sanfeng had a general idea of ​​the strength of those old monsters.

However, Zhang Sanfeng had no idea how strong Zhu Jinzhen was. Not to mention the people he knew, even if some ancient martial arts masters who had disappeared from history suddenly appeared, Zhang Sanfeng did not think they could threaten Zhu Jinzhen at this moment.

No.

Even without Zhu Jinzhen taking action, the dozens of auras emanating from the capital that Zhang Sanfeng felt chilled to the bone from thousands of miles away were enough to suppress everything.

In the end, Zhang Sanfeng could only look up at the sky:
"Maybe..."

"Has His Majesty the Emperor encountered celestial beings again?"

……

In the past, the powerful figures of the world had no clear idea of ​​Zhu Jinzhen's strength or the Ming Dynasty's foundation. From this day forward, the world will fall silent.

Every expert above the level of a terrestrial immortal spat in the direction of the Ming Dynasty and turned to leave.

What's the point of playing this game?

Dozens of beings surpassing the celestial beings of the land, their aura overwhelming all living beings, reaching far and wide, like the unchanging heavens above their heads, making them unshakable and unimaginable, leaving only the insignificant Zhu Jinzhen.

Forget about supporting the emperor; let's just enjoy life.

If they were caught by the Ming emperor or his top fighters, they would certainly suffer the consequences.

They should be sensible and find a place to hide first.

If we wait another few decades, or even a hundred or two, we can hope that Zhu Jinzhen and the Ming Dynasty will be just like the Qin Dynasty, which was so powerful that it silenced the world and even had immortals and Buddhas descend to stop it, or like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who swept across the world, made all the barbarians submit, and punished even the most distant ones.

It only had an extremely short-lived peak and glory.

Otherwise, with their old bones and limbs, how could they compete with Zhu Jinzhen and his various monsters who surpassed the terrestrial celestial beings but did not ascend to heaven in the same era?
What's the difference between that and sending someone to their death?
In the Mongol Yuan imperial palace, several women gazed at the Ming Dynasty and the far east, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Your Highness..."

"No, now you should call me Your Majesty."

"He went even further."

"This aura spans heaven and earth, and if the sun were to descend, it would be unshakable, leaving one only to submit and look up to it. It is unimaginable what realm he has reached now."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Min's expression became even more complicated. Looking eastward, she murmured, "At the very least, they must be above the Land Celestial Realm!"

She was a terrestrial immortal, yet even under that aura that traveled thousands of miles away, she could only feel insignificant and could not muster the slightest thought of resistance, which showed how terrifying she was.

It should be noted that Zhao Min once faced a terrestrial Celestial Realm expert.

Whether it was Zhang Sanfeng, Li Changsheng, Mo Yi, or even Ling Donglai, who should not belong to the human world, they were all celestial beings on land. Although they also posed a deadly threat to Zhao Min.

But it was absolutely impossible to prevent her from even having the thought of resistance.

Even ants cherish their lives.

No matter how great the difference is between a terrestrial deity and a terrestrial celestial being, it is impossible for the terrestrial deity to willingly submit to slaughter under the other's aura.

But Zhu Jinzhen's aura...

He was so powerful that Zhao Min dared not even entertain the thought of resisting.

……

East China Sea, Penglai Island.

Zhu Jinzhen's aura finally reached its limit. At this moment, his black hair flew wildly, his eyes were like lightning, and his whole body was shrouded in starlight and golden light. On the boiling waves of the boundless sea, he was as dazzling and radiant as a bright moon rising from the sea.

Several faint phantom images of true dragons were entwined around his body.

His aura pierced the heavens and stretched across the world, overwhelming everything and filling all space. It surged like falling stars, shaking the heavens and earth, as if it would explode at any moment because it could not bear it.

Many dark cracks could be faintly seen appearing and healing repeatedly.

It appeared exceptionally terrifying and frightening.

Mo Yi and Qingfeng Daoist, who were closest to him, had retreated several thousand meters away, only daring to look from afar and not daring to approach.

At this moment, Zhu Jinzhen stood there, a living immortal, transcending the mortal realm, a true immortal, celestial being, immortal king, immortal emperor, a being who could be a mountain, dominating the world for countless years.

Before him, the ocean surged and boiled, its waves towering thousands of feet high, like an angry dragon whipping up water, reaching to the sky and connecting with the earth.

It seemed as if it would engulf the world.

Behind him, endless starlight followed, as if the Purple Star Emperor had descended to earth, his every move accompanied by starlight, illuminating heaven and earth, shining through the ages.
