Devouring: Starting with an innate sacred body and Dao embryo

Chapter 43, Second Speaker, Creates Sword Techniques

"Jiang Chen's strength is so remarkable, which is a blessing for us humans. Therefore, I propose that Jiang Chen serve as the second speaker."

Hong's voice echoed throughout the Palace of the God of War.

The members of the War God Palace are divided into three ranks.

They are ordinary members, members of parliament, and the speaker.

The ordinary members are all War God-level powerhouses, while the councilors are powerhouses who surpass the War God level.

As for the speaker, he is one of the top five experts in the world.

For example, First Speaker Hung, Second Speaker Thor, Third Speaker Merhandson...

If anyone's strength surpasses that of the top five, they can take their place and push them to the bottom.

The speaker, who was originally ranked fifth, will lose his position.

Jiang Chen's current strength has completely surpassed that of Thor. As for whether he is stronger or weaker than Hong, it is unknown. Therefore, it is only natural that he became the second speaker.

"I agree with the First Speaker's proposal."

Far, Loza, and the other three councilors, who had witnessed Jiang Chen's strength firsthand on Fog Island, were the first to speak up and support Jiang Chen for becoming the second speaker.

After seeing the strength that Jiang Chen displayed in the projection, the others all agreed.

Even Thor fully supports this and is willing to step down as the third speaker.

Ultimately, amidst widespread support, Jiang Chen assumed the position of Second Speaker.

This instantly elevated his fame and prestige to an unbelievable level.

However, Jiang Chen took it all in stride.

Fame is merely a guest of reality; without sufficient strength to support it, such empty fame is like a rootless duckweed or a castle in the air.

The most fundamental thing is to improve one's own strength; everything else only requires a small amount of effort to maintain.

Jiang Chen's indifference does not mean that others share the same detached attitude.

A few days later, when the Jiang family learned that Jiang Chen had become the second councilor of the War God Palace, the entire Jiang family could hardly believe it.

After multiple confirmations, the entire family was overjoyed.

Even Jiang Mu, the patriarch of the Jiang family, was moved to tears and laughed heartily. He made a phone call to Jiang Chen and talked for a long time.

From then on, the Jiang family's status completely surpassed that of the Wang family, becoming the number one family in Hanxia.

At the same time, it also holds a pivotal position within the entire HR alliance.

However, Jiang Chen was too lazy to care about family matters. He was currently busy with something else: creating his own cultivation technique.

A deep blue, prehistoric-level intelligent fighter jet sped through the air. Jiang Chen sat inside the jet, looking at the cultivation manuals he had exchanged from Hong.

After leaving the War God Palace, Yao Rao handed over the Primordial-level intelligent fighter jet, which she had purchased from Hong, to Jiang Chen.

Inside this Primordial-class fighter jet, Hong had already placed the cultivation manuals, numerous spiritual herbs, and a battle sword unearthed from an ancient civilization's ruins that Jiang Chen had purchased.

Jiang Chen first put away the spiritual herbs and battle sword, and then looked at the cultivation manuals.

Some of these manuals were unearthed from ancient civilization ruins, while others were created by human martial artists. Some even include the martial arts technique "World Destruction" created by Hong.

Jiang Chen quickly browsed through the various manuals.

With his current terrifying comprehension and profound understanding, the knowledge contained in these secret manuals has all become nourishment for him, becoming the greatest help to the cultivation techniques he creates.

The martial art with the greatest power amplitude in the world today is Thor's "Nine-Fold Thunder Blade".

Even Hong's "Destruction of the World" cannot compare to it in terms of the intensity of its impact.

Even the maximum power amplitude of the Nine-fold Thunder Blade is only 7 times.

Compared to Jiang Chen's mental power exertion amplitude of 20 times, the difference is simply too great.

The essence of generating amplitude is controlling every bit of one's own power.

If one can perfectly control all of one's own power, then the power amplitude will reach 100.

This also applies to mental power. If every bit of mental power is controlled, the amplitude of mental power will reach 100.

Only by understanding this essence can one better create their own unique power generation and amplitude techniques.

After reading through all the cultivation manuals he had purchased, Jiang Chen's mind was filled with a flood of ideas.

Taking advantage of the situation, Jiang Chen piloted his fighter jet to the edge of a cliff in the wilderness, picked up the Starfall sword he had just purchased, and began to slash.

The Starfall Battle Blade is entirely blood-red, unearthed from the ruins of an ancient civilization. It is exceptionally sharp and far more powerful than an SS-grade battle blade.

The wind howled from the cliff thousands of meters high, chilling to the bone. Jiang Chen wielded his battle blade, initially without any technique, hacking and slashing haphazardly.

After a while, the random slashing and hacking techniques became more structured and methodical.

After some time, his swordsmanship had become quite impressive, and the intensity of his strikes had even doubled.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Then came three times, four times...

Jiang Chen continued to wield his battle blade for three days and three nights, seemingly tireless, immersed in a special state of enlightenment.

And the amplitude of his swordsmanship's power is constantly increasing.

It has now surpassed seven times the power of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade created by Thor, reaching nine times.

Five days and five nights later, Jiang Chen, who had been wielding his battle sword incessantly as if there was no end in sight, suddenly stopped.

He closed his eyes and felt the relentless gale all around him, blowing against his body, his cheeks, the mountain peaks beneath his feet, and the trees in the distance, which never seemed to reach him.

The first breeze originated billions of years ago, and under its influence, all kinds of objects have changed.

The mountains are etched with countless ravines by the wind, the seas surge with endless waves, life is weathered by them, and death is silenced by them.

The endless movement, generated by the convection of hot and cold air, is like the yin and yang of the Tao, giving birth to a special existence.

Although it is formless and intangible, it is perceptible.

After a long while, Jiang Chen raised the Starfall Battle Blade and slashed against the raging wind. The burst of power from this strike was as high as ten times the normal force.

With a power amplification of ten times and Jiang Chen's life genes increased a hundredfold, the power of this strike was equivalent to 1000 first-tier planetary-level experts attacking at full strength simultaneously.

The surging sword energy instantly overwhelmed the blowing wind, leaving several deep sword marks on the distant mountain peaks.

However, once Jiang Chen's sword had exhausted its power, the relentless gale began to blow again.

Jiang Chen continued to swing his battle blade, and the amplitude of his power increased once again.

Eleven times, twelve times, thirteen times...

Each time Jiang Chen swung his sword, he would pause for a moment, waiting for the wind to continue blowing before swinging again.

And so, another ten days and ten nights passed, and Jiang Chen still showed no signs of fatigue, continuing to wield his battle blade.

At this moment, the intensity of his power surge had reached 20, and when emitted through a hundred times the gene strength of his body, its power was equivalent to two thousand times that of an ordinary first-tier planetary star.

"Drawing a sword to cut water only makes it flow more; swinging a sword to cut the wind only makes it blow harder."

After Jiang Chen unleashed another slash, he let out a sigh, looked up at the sky, and felt the howling wind once more, realizing how insignificant he was.

Compared to heaven and earth, compared to the universe, one's own power is extremely weak.

However, the more this happened, the more determined he became, the clearer he saw the road ahead, and the more he moved forward.
