People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 652 Arrogance Requires Capital
The phrase "everyone is an enemy" itself possesses immense power.

It could even be said that this is the greatest manifestation of the allure of the path to transcendence.

The power of an individual surpasses the power of a crowd!
Of course, there are different levels of skill in dealing with enemies. A slightly more skilled person can handle dealing with some small countries.

But it's a different story when facing a military superpower!

For example, the Tianwu Kingdom emphasizes martial virtue. In fact, the name Tianwu is a translation of the Chinese meaning. Its original name was only similar but had a different meaning.

But that's the charm of the Chinese language: even when translated, seemingly with some discrepancies, it actually has a more nuanced flavor.

The path taken by the Martial Emperor was to stand tall among the nations of the world through overwhelming military strength and absolute military deterrence.

By force, they turned countless countries, large and small, into their vassals.

They also use force to force open the gates of countries, thereby gaining control over their economies and even the succession of power!

Even years ago, there were many voices online saying that Tianwu Kingdom had a great chance of becoming the sixth pole of the world in the future.

As long as the Martial Emperor can become a saint!

Looking at the world, there are some powers that surpass Tianwu Kingdom in terms of economic strength, but in terms of military equipment, apart from the Five Emperors of the world, there is no one who can fight against Tianwu Kingdom.

As for the Demon God Research Institute, this organization transcends the concept of a nation. It contains high-ranking officials from countless countries, making it a different matter and not subject to national jurisdiction.

This is why the world's attention is drawn to the movement of the Tianwu Kingdom's army. It's not for any other reason than that the army under the Martial Emperor's command is simply too terrifying in combat.

It wasn't just the powerful weapons; most importantly, Emperor Wu was a brilliant military leader, a true master strategist. From the very beginning of his rise to power, he fought countless battles, always defeating the many with the few and the strong with the weak.

Apart from the armies of the Five Emperors of the Universe, which cannot be challenged, the remaining countries are, in the eyes of many, places where they can be easily attacked.

But little did anyone know that this time, the Empress's grand display was not for the sake of the country, but merely to deal with one person.

This is unprecedented; an entire nation mobilized to target just one person.

Even a hundred years ago, when the whole world was in turmoil and war was raging, nothing like this had ever happened.

As for the reason, it's natural that all strong individuals are leaders, or more often, commanders. They are not isolated figures, so how could they be targeted by a national-level force alone?

At the Saint level, it's something akin to nuclear deterrence—the core strength of a power or even a nation. It's impossible for someone to have subordinates and choose to fight alone; that would undoubtedly be a betrayal of the Heavenly Order.

Only Dao Zun appeared out of thin air, with no one knowing his origins or any apparent power behind him. He seemed to be all alone, and his high-profile actions led to the current situation.

"Although we don't know why Dao Zun wanted to kill Wu Huang, or why Wu Huang wanted to deal with Dao Zun, Dao Zun is too arrogant. With his mobility and his ability to hide, he can conceal his tracks. Even the most powerful satellites can't detect him, and no amount of radar lock-on from missiles or nuclear weapons can lock onto him. If he wanted to kill Wu Huang, the best solution would definitely be to quietly come to Wu Huang and kill him."

On the world's largest military forum, someone posted a thread offering a rational analysis of everything. Now that the Martial Emperor and the Daoist Master have appeared before everyone in this way, many find the current situation unbelievable, but when it truly happens, it naturally compels discussion.

“Arrogance requires resources, and Dao Zun just happens to have them.”

One person replied like this.

"If a Dao Venerable could kill silently, he wouldn't be a Dao Venerable. If someone's martial arts have reached this level and they still act like an assassin, what's the difference between them and a venomous snake?! Now, describing a Dao Venerable as a dragon is lowering his status. Such a strongman, such a hegemon, such a mythical figure, of course deserves to be confronted head-on!"

Someone posted the following message on the forum.

"However, this is a million-strong army, and they are all elites who have undergone long-term training and have actually been on the battlefield. They are not reserves or militia. Even if a million people stand still and let others kill them, they cannot be killed all of them. They simply cannot be killed all of them."

"Even if a million people form an array, simply killing their way through would be enough to exhaust a peak semi-saint. Although peak semi-saints are powerful and have terrifying explosive power, humans are not all-rounders. For any expert, explosive power is far stronger than endurance. There is also the consumption of mental energy. Without condensing a sacred heart, mental energy cannot be continuously replenished. Facing the bombardment of aircraft, tanks, and armored vehicles, as well as infantry arrays and sniper arrays... at most half an hour, even a peak semi-saint will be exhausted."

On the forum, someone made this comment, indicating that they have a deep understanding of the military's strength.

Indeed, Li Qi could walk on air and directly cross the crowd, but according to normal logic, such a method would consume an enormous amount of mental energy, and it would be impossible to use it regularly.

A million-strong army, if deployed across a battle line, could cover an enormous area.

Furthermore, while it may seem that one is more maneuverable in the air, one is also more likely to become a target.

While Li Qi had previously destroyed many of the Meteor Moon Group's armed helicopters, missiles, and nuclear bombs were all useless.

However, compared to the Tianwu Kingdom, the firepower of the Meteor Moon Group was like children playing around.

Imagine how terrifying it would be if thousands or tens of thousands of artillery shells, or even missiles and nuclear bombs, simultaneously covered an area of ​​tens of kilometers or even larger!

Indeed, experts can dodge, and as long as they are not hit head-on, there will not be too much of a problem. However, in such situations, the mental and physical exertion is terrifying. If one is not careful, even a peak semi-saint could be killed.

However, any expert of that caliber would never allow themselves to fall into such a predicament.

If they want to kill someone, they either have their subordinates do it, or if the opponent is powerful, they will assassinate them.

This is why some people on the forum think that Daozun is too arrogant, and some even think that he is simply looking down on everyone.

"So, Daoist Master won't be in trouble, right?!"

"To confront a million-strong army head-on—no saint in history has ever been so arrogant..."

At this moment, similar questions were raised on numerous forums, websites, and even in live streaming rooms broadcasting video recordings.
