Chapter 25: The Fate of the Nation and Its People, Decided on the Last Day

  "Rooooaaaar! Rooooaaaar! Rooooaaaar! Rooooaaaar! Rooooaaaar! Great power! Great power! Great power! Dragon swallows the starry sky, fist shatters the heavens! Ancient great power dragon fist!——" The Annihilating Dharma Wheel's entire body burst forth with an aura like a mountain torrent, the Annihilating Dharma Wheel's right hand suddenly and violently expanded, a gigantic fist came crashing down like a comet striking the moon, wave after wave of terrifying dragon roars echoed out, the Annihilating Dharma Wheel actually unleashed an ancient giant dragon!

  "Roar——"

  Desolate, that's right, it's the aura of desolation. Lu Shao Yu only felt a desolate atmosphere instantly filling every inch of space, making him feel a suffocating discomfort. He only sensed an aura from ancient times, as thick and heavy as the ancient earth, yet gentle and embracing, with a domineering intention hidden within, like a sword concealed in silk, soft yet unyielding, subtly containing the ultimate principle of harmony between gentleness and firmness.

  Lu Shao stopped the fear in his heart, furrowed his sword-like eyebrows, and shot out a divine light from his eyes. His right foot swung out like an ancient divine whip, while the four extreme demon images behind him also stretched out their huge demonic claws. The momentum was shocking, heavily striking the ancient giant dragon, intending to crush its body.

  "Hmph!" The Annihilating Dharma Wheel sneered, "You dare to shake the foundations of my Vast Expanse Continent?"

  The ancient giant dragon let out a long roar, and its mighty aura spread far and wide. Although it wasn't the real giant dragon, this dragon carried an immense presence of the ancient era. A dragon tail wrapped around a turbulent gust of wind like a tsunami, striking the Four-Pole Demon Image. The demon image let out a loud bellow as it was directly swept away by the dragon's might.

  "Ka-chak——" Lu Shaoyou only heard a slight sound from the body of the Four Extremes Demon Image, which had actually been smashed by the Ancient Giant Dragon and now had cracks in it. A thread of blood trickled out from the corner of Lu Shaoyou's mouth.

  The Golden Buddha shouted a Buddhist mantra, stepped on the golden lotus, transformed into an angry Vajra, held a divine mallet, and emitted waves of Buddhist sounds from his body. The majestic Buddhist teachings spread out from the Buddha, and the Golden Buddha's entire body radiated an aura that was as unstoppable as a shooting star crashing into an ancient giant dragon.

  "Boom——" A terrifying aura fluctuation came, Lu Shaoyou's face changed drastically, he clearly felt that his Golden Body Buddha Avatar was facing the danger of collapse!

  "Give it back!" Lu Shaoyou suppressed the shock in his five internal organs, forced himself to calm down, and quickly formed a series of mysterious hand seals. The golden vajra, with an embarrassed expression, escaped with a face full of intense pain.

  "Boom——" The heavenly son behind Lu Shao's body finally couldn't sit still, noble, glorious, majestic, and enlightening. Countless breaths swept across the sky, like a rainbow piercing through the heavens. Lu Shao's body twisted and entered the heavenly son's virtual shadow. The tiger eyes of the heavenly son suddenly became radiant and no longer stiff and rigid. The heavenly son's entire body emitted an unparalleled noble aura. At this moment, it seemed as if all the mountains and rivers were submitting to Lu Shao's feet, but this was just Lu Shao's illusion.

  Boom! Lu Shao-yu had unleashed the second set of fist techniques from the Three Lives God Fist!

  "A thousand miles of rivers and mountains, the ancestral temple is heavy! The epic of civilization, casting a prosperous age! Jiangshan Sheji Fist——!" Lu Shaoyou's figure rose against the wind, like an emperor wearing a golden war robe, his sacred majesty spread to every corner of space!

  "Hmph! Your insight is indeed profound, young one. I acknowledge that you are a rare talent, with comprehension skills rivaling those of the ancient sages. It's likely that only in the primordial era or ancient times would there be someone with higher innate abilities than yours. However, no matter how high your innate abilities may be or how deep your understanding is, it's all useless. Your cultivation is shallow and you have no chance of defeating me! Let me show you what it means to shatter a thousand techniques with a single move!"

  "Rooooaaaar! Rooooaaaar! Rooooaaaar! Great power! Great power! The dragon swallows the stars and universe, fists shattering the heavens! Ancient great power dragon fist!——" The annihilating wheel of law burst out with an extremely strong aura once again, the surging power causing Lu Shaoyou's heart to skip a beat.

  "The mountains and rivers are like a painting, the ancestral temple is like a poem! Unrestrained and free, unified for all eternity!" Lu Shaoyou let out a loud roar, his body's aura surging like a tide, the power of 640 dragon horses bursting forth to resist this terrifying energy. This Jiangshan Sheji Fist was a further deepening of the Heavenly Son Divine Fist, this set of fist techniques was tailor-made for Lu Shaoyou and the Heavenly Son Virtual Shadow merging as one. Behind Lu Shaoyou's shadow, two more virtual shadows appeared once again, but these two virtual shadows were neither the Four Extremes Demon Images nor the Golden Body Buddha, but rather two other great gods. One saw these two great gods with worried expressions, one looking up at the sky, one gazing down at the earth, one holding a sickle, and one carrying a heavy grain ear, these two great god virtual shadows were none other than She Shen and Ji Shen!

  The Sheji is the god who holds the land, and as soon as the thick and rough palm of the Sheji moves slightly, the earth immediately reveals a joyful wave. The Jishi is the god who holds the rice ear, and "Ji" means five grains! The Jishi is naturally the god in charge of the five grains! As soon as the Jishi waves the rice ear in his hand, the heavy rice ear sweeps across the sky, and the Jiangshan Sheji map appears again. However, this time the Jiangshan Sheji map is more solid than before! With land, there will be rice and grains, and with these two things, the people of the world can survive! Only then will there be Jiangshan Sheji! Only then will there be a country!

  It is said that the country and its people are of utmost importance, while the ruler is secondary. This is precisely the principle!

  "I'd like to see, whether it's the thickness of the ancient land or my rivers and mountains that are more substantial!" Lu Shaoyou roared, "I use the people of the world as my sword, and the rivers and mountains as my knife! The ancient land has no life born from it, relying solely on the earth's benevolence, how can it compare to the weight of my rivers and mountains?"

  "Boom——" The terrifying energy scattered in all directions like a sword aura, stirring up the heaven and earth with flying gravel.

  "Roar——" Only to see the ancient giant dragon rise up and directly crash into the Jiangshan Sheji Tu.

  "Bang——" After a fierce surge of yuanqi, Lu Shaoyou violently spat out blood and flew backwards, the Xuanming Wheel was also directly blown away.

  "How detestable! If I, the master, could currently exert more than just the third or fourth layer of foundation building power, then you, a mere Qi cultivating ant, would have died tens of thousands of times with just one breath from me!" The Annihilating Dharma Wheel angrily exclaimed.

  This kid's resistance to attacks is really strong, and he seems to have a momentum that gets stronger with each battle. No way, I must eliminate him! Otherwise, once he grows up, he will definitely disrupt the master's plan! The Annihilation of the Wheel of Fortune in his heart was ruthless, it seemed that only that move would do!

  "Even time cannot erase your dignity."

  "Even fate cannot control your existence."

  "Your words and actions are the ultimate principle of this world."

  "You say he exists, and he will be eternal"

  "You say he should be destroyed, and he will never survive"

  "You control the universe, dominate the cosmos, even fate is your servant, even the heavens cannot restrain your glory"

  The Mantra of Oblivion began to chant slowly, one after another mysterious ancient phonemes leaped out from the mouth of the Dharma Wheel.

  Lu Shao's body hair stood on end as if the holy light outside his body was trembling! Danger! Danger!

  "You judge all sins, you tolerate all evils. Judgment Day, holy glory! —— The chanting of the law wheel of annihilation finally ended, and a terrible force came down from the void! God Pig suddenly turned his head and shouted at Lu Shaoyou: "Get out of the way! Danger!"
