Chapter 1246 After defeating the Thunder Beast, Chen Yang heads towards Freedom City
The Thunder Beast slapped down, causing the sky and earth to shake violently, as if the entire sky had collapsed upon it.
"Wow! Could it be any more ferocious? The Thunder Beast is so domineering!"
"Run!"
"Run? Where do you think you're going? That brat's dead meat!"
……
Amidst the gasps of countless people, Chen Yang's body finally moved.
He was honestly bathing in the lightning, using the thunder of the Thunder Beast to temper his body, when suddenly his right hand clenched into a fist.
When he clenched his right fist, the endless lightning that had enveloped him instantly converged on his fist, turning it into a ball of lightning with a blinding light that was almost impossible to look at directly.
Compared to it, the sun in the sky is like a firefly vying for brilliance with the moon.
The void around the fist was subtly distorted, and the spatial forces were disordered, causing wrinkles.
It's easy to imagine how powerful Chen Yang's punch was.
"Break it for me!"
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yang raised his fist and slammed it into the sky, the lightning covering his fist condensing to its extreme.
"Fist power!"
"Shock!"
"penetrate!"
Chen Yang then unleashed two more punches.
The concussive punch technique is like a high-frequency combat knife; the fist is like it's equipped with an electric motor, capable of vibrating thousands of times in a short period, thus increasing its armor-piercing ability.
Penetrating fist techniques, as the name suggests, increase the penetrating power of a punch, like a bullet that can pierce armor.
Boom!
Another earth-shattering explosion rang out.
A blinding burst of lightning suddenly erupted from between the Thunder Beast's massive claws, expanding countless times in an instant to form a gigantic sphere of light that enveloped both Chen Yang and the Thunder Beast.
The void trembled violently like a piece of cloth, wrinkled terribly, as if it were about to be torn apart.
The earth cracked and sank again.
In short, the world was in utter ruin.
Click!
But then a sound of bones cracking was heard, a white flash of lightning was stained red with blood, and countless pieces of bone and rotten flesh flew out.
When the dust settled, people were shocked to discover that the giant claw that the Thunder Beast had just slapped out had been smashed apart by Chen Yang's punch, along with its entire leg, which shattered with overwhelming force.
In the end, its massive, mountain-like body was thrown out, flying several kilometers before crashing heavily to the ground, causing a tremendous tremor.
Beneath Chen Yang's feet, a bottomless pit had formed, surrounded by countless cracks of varying sizes.
Hiss!
Seeing this scene, no one could remain calm.
The incredibly powerful Thunder Beast had one of its legs blown off by Chen Yang and was sent flying backward. This kid is simply terrifying!
Whoosh!
Chen Yang burst out of the crater, tracing a parabolic trajectory before landing on the ground, causing the earth to tremble.
"Hahaha, big guy, just because you're big doesn't mean you're strong. You're not qualified to compete with me in strength!"
Looking at the Thunder Beast lying on the ground, panting heavily, Chen Yang sneered contemptuously.
His Xuanhuang Dao Body is half-completed, and his Heaven and Earth Overlord Fist can unleash a force of nearly ten million tons. Such power is not something that the Thunder Beast can withstand.
Furthermore, he possesses the bloodline of the Earth Vein Dragon, which is formed from the earth veins, granting him abilities akin to those of a child of the earth. This allows him to channel the power of the Thunder Beast striking him into the earth veins, thus minimizing the damage he suffers.
That's why a large pit sank into his feet, along with countless cracks of varying sizes.
Ouch!
With a violent roar, the Thunder Beast's eyes were filled with fear. After struggling to its feet, it charged rapidly toward the sea on three legs.
The sea is right in front of me, so close.
But, though so close, we are worlds apart!
Chen Yang would not give it the right to escape.
Boom!
Chen Yang shattered the ground and smashed through the void, charging forward with incredible speed and launching a fierce attack.
Suddenly, a magical artifact from the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain appeared in his hand.
Under the frenzied urging of magical power, the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain magic treasure suddenly burst forth with seven-colored divine light.
Boom!
With the enhancement of the magical artifacts on Yuan Ci's body, Chen Yang smashed half of the Thunder Beast's body apart this time.
With another collision, the Thunder Beast collapsed to the ground, its body shattered, not a single bone intact.
Amidst the shattered flesh and bone fragments, a ball of light the size of a rubber ball stood out conspicuously. It was crystal clear, like the finest crystal, with countless bolts of lightning emanating from it, and even its surface was entwined with lightning threads.
This object is the demonic core of the Thunder Beast, the source of its thunderous divine power.
Unfortunately, this demonic core failed to undergo the tribulation of lightning, and no lightning patterns were left on it. Otherwise, if it had been transformed into a golden core, its power could have increased by dozens or even hundreds of times.
A demonic core that has not undergone the baptism of lightning is like a half-step golden core, also known as a primordial core.
In fact, the Thunder Beast's lightning-type magic core had already been polished to perfection. If it hadn't been trapped in the spaceship, it probably would have already attracted a lightning tribulation and attained the Golden Core stage.
This lightning-type magic core was of immeasurable value, and Chen Yang simply put several seals on it and took it.
At this moment, our great Eastern nation erupted in cheers.
With the Demon King's return and the annihilation of the Thunderous Beast, our great Eastern nation can now sit firmly on the throne of the world's leading power.
From this day forward, the world will enter a new era.
Aside from the great Eastern power, most countries in the world remained silent, clearly unable to accept the reality that our great Eastern power had become the world's leader.
Some even harbor illusions about the Stars and Stripes empire, or are still wary of its power.
After all, this empire has bullied the world too much with its power, leaving many countries with shadows and inner demons.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? Should we launch...?"
Inside the white imperial palace, a group of military leaders surrounded the empire's head of state, offering advice and strategies.
Right now, standing next to Chen Yang are 100,000 soldiers of the Stars and Stripes Empire, along with countless high-tech weapons, originally intended to snipe the Thunder Beast.
As long as His Majesty gives the order, 100,000 imperial soldiers will launch the most brutal firepower attack on Chen Yang.
"Hold your positions and let him go!" the Emperor said, his tone no longer forceful but weak and listless, as if his energy had been drained away.
However, his thinking remained unaffected, and he made the wisest decision to remain still and let Chen Yang leave.
The conditions previously proposed by the Eastern superpower to the American Empire—an apology, compensation, and the handing over of the culprit who launched the Rod of God—have already been agreed to by the American Empire.
Logically speaking, the conflict between them should have been completely resolved.
Chen Yang had no reason to provoke the Stars and Stripes Empire again.
As for the decline from the world's number one to number two, or even number three, the Stars and Stripes Empire is willing to accept this reality.
Where there's a will, there's a way; with unwavering resolve, even the mighty Qin Pass could ultimately fall to Chu.
Those who persevere will be rewarded; with patience and determination, three thousand Yue soldiers were able to conquer Wu.
With hard work and quiet accumulation of strength, the Stars and Stripes Empire is not without a chance to make a comeback and become the world's leading power once again.
In short, the head of state at this moment was very self-aware.
"Hey, have you learned your lesson? Why aren't you starting the fire yet?"
Chen Yang lingered at the scene for a while, but the 100,000 imperial soldiers stared at each other blankly, showing no intention of attacking him. He had no choice but to leave, riding the Black Scaled Eagle and soaring into the sky.
You can't hit a smiling face with a angry punch; Chen Yang isn't the kind of person who bullies the weak.
However, instead of flying back home, he went to a beautiful city in the Stars and Stripes Empire, the capital city, the City of Freedom.
As the Blackscale Eagle soared into the sky, countless radars and satellites of the Stars and Stripes Empire locked onto it, ultimately deducing, based on its route, that Chen Yang's destination might be Liberty City.
What's coming will come!
At that moment, the emperor's face turned green.
Although the Stars and Stripes Empire has provided considerable compensation, one condition Chen Yang once proposed—replacing the Führer—has never been fulfilled.
Everyone knows that the culprit behind the repeated actions against Chen Yang is none other than this head of state.
Even if Chen Yang killed him eight hundred times, it wouldn't be enough to quell the hatred in his heart.
It's not hard to guess why Chen Yang is now traveling to Freedom City on a Blackscale Eagle.
"Your Excellency, what should we do now?"
"There are still more than 800 nuclear warheads in the nuclear arsenal..."
"Your Excellency, I think..."
……
One by one, the empire's high-ranking officials gathered around the head of state, offering their advice and addressing his urgent concerns.
"A bunch of idiots, shut up! Get out of here and let me have some peace and quiet," the head of state said angrily.
His mind is in a mess right now; he needs to calm down before he can continue thinking.
It was precisely because we trusted these guys that we ended up in this situation.
If nuclear weapons were so useful, Chen Yang would have died eight hundred times over.
Therefore, His Majesty the Führer knew perfectly well that if Chen Yang wanted to come to Freedom City, he couldn't be stopped; if Chen Yang wanted to come and kill someone, he couldn't be stopped either.
If that's the case, then why bother stopping or obstructing him? Let's just wait for Chen Yang to arrive.
Liberty City, a city named after freedom, is not only the capital of the Stars and Stripes Empire, but also a first-class city in the world, with the strongest economy in the world today.
The prosperity and wealth here are astonishing.
The city is named after Liberty because it has a famous statue, the Statue of Liberty.
It was a majestic statue of the God of War, over two hundred meters tall including its base, and it used to be visible from anywhere in the city.
The statue is made entirely of bronze, dressed in battle armor with a cape behind him, holding a bronze shield in one hand and a greatsword in the other, symbolizing a fight for freedom.
Freedom, too, must be defended through war.
This statue perfectly embodies the founding spirit of the Stars and Stripes Empire: a profound reverence for military might, yet an unwavering yearning for freedom.
When their freedom is threatened, they often resort to force.
The setting sun had begun to dip westward, and a ray of its afterglow spread across the sea, making the water shimmer and ripple with golden light.
The statue of the God of Liberty also shone brightly under the setting sun, as if it were edged with gold, adding to its domineering and divine aura.
Everything was so beautiful, everything was just like before...
Suddenly, a large black bird streaked across the sky, blotting out the sun and casting a vast shadow.
As it flew past the statue of the God of Liberty, a humanoid figure jumped off the back of the large black bird and landed on top of the statue's head.
The figure belonged to a young man with black hair and black eyes; he was clearly a handsome man from the East.
With his hands behind his back, his gaze disdainful, and his body as straight as a spear, the more than 200-meter-tall statue of the God of Liberty stood out perfectly beneath his feet.
It was only because his aura was so immense, as if he were a thousand troops, or that he could hold up the sky, that the more than two hundred-meter-tall statue of the God of War was completely overshadowed.
The Blackscaled Eagle did not fly away; it circled the statue of the God of Freedom, stirring up gusts of wind.
Its wingspan of over ten zhang was so enormous that it attracted countless gazes, and also drew the attention of countless others to Chen Yang.
"Damn it! This great demon king from the East actually trampled the statue of the God of War, the spiritual symbol of my Stars and Stripes Empire, under his feet! This is intolerable! I'm going to fight him!"
"Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, but the Great Demon King of the East is going too far."
"What are those military bastards doing? Shoot him down with a missile! They're bullying us like this."
"Even if my Great Stars and Stripes Empire has made mistakes, it cannot trample on our heads. This is a blatant insult, a blatant declaration of war!"
"Isn't this great Eastern country known as a land of etiquette? Where has that etiquette gone? Did it get eaten by dogs?"
……
Countless voices from Liberty City launched a verbal attack on Chen Yang, all filled with righteous indignation and spitting out mouthfuls of saliva.
Many of them even rushed to the base of the God of War statue, seemingly possessed, wanting to climb up the ladder and fight Chen Yang.
Before long, a crowd had gathered around the statue of the God of Liberty, protesting against Chen Yang and demanding that he get out of there, saying that his thoughts should lead him as far as he could go.
"Alas, even so, is my Great Empire of the Stars and Stripes without the slightest fault?"
"It's not just a few mistakes, it's a whole basketful of them. It's been a troublemaker all over the world, harming countless countries and families. Its sins are too numerous to count!"
"There's a saying in the great Eastern country: what goes around comes around. Now the retribution has come. Whether you accept it or not, you have to accept it. Heaven's punishment is beyond anyone's control."
"But no matter what, we ordinary people are innocent! It's all the fault of those high-ranking officials; they should all commit seppuku to atone for their sins!"
……
There are also some clear-headed individuals who can see the essence of the matter, and who do not blindly follow the crowd, believing that the Stars and Stripes Empire is at fault. Since it is at fault, it must accept punishment.
Even these visionary individuals gathered together, took to the streets, and held demonstrations, calling for the resignation of the imperial head and urging numerous military leaders to commit seppuku in repentance.
In an instant, the vast city of Liberty was thrown into chaos. The streets were filled with protesters, some denouncing Chen Yang and firmly standing on the side of the authorities, while others, upholding fairness and justice, stood on the opposite side. And then there were the fence-sitters, swaying between the two sides.
