Born Sacred

"Everything is ready."

"The Blade of Divine Punishment has entered low-Earth orbit."

"In one hour, the carrier satellite will arrive over Starfall Country’s Western Desert and can launch a space-based strike at any time."

Listening to the reports from their subordinates, several Hawk Faction members showed satisfaction.

The fatal blow they prepared for Noah was the legendary space-based weapon.

This was originally a conceptual weapon that only existed on paper and not in reality, but the arrival of the era of National awakening gave this conceptual weapon practical value.

What kind of chemical reaction would occur when technology and the extraordinary combine? Various countries were attempting similar experiments, and although they had few gains due to the short time frame, they did have some research results.

Space-based weapons were one of them.

Metal rods forged from special materials from dungeons, combined with the effects of Awakener Talents and skills, made the metal rods fall at an unimaginable speed. In just a few minutes, they could strike the ground directly from outer space. There was also more than one metal rod; when dropped together, they covered a wide area. By the time Noah noticed the space-based strike and wanted to escape the attack range, it would be too late.

With a single strike, even a super city like the Undead City would be destroyed. Its power was far greater than a nuclear bomb, yet it was more covert and difficult to evade.

The cost of launching such an attack was astronomical, so much so that even the Eagle Federation would feel immense pain.

Of course, if Noah could be eliminated, then all the effort would be worth it.

One hour passed quickly.

The satellite carrying the space-based weapon arrived over the Western Desert.

"Noah has been staying in the Western Desert this whole time. He’s too arrogant. Heaven truly helps me," a Hawk Faction member laughed loudly.

"Let us witness the fall of this ’God’ with our own eyes."

Several Hawk Faction members looked at each other and laughed.

As Noah continuously took action, slaughtering the Three-order monsters rampaging across Blue Star, his reputation worldwide grew higher and higher. In many religious countries, he was even elevated to a status comparable to that of a god.

And what they were about to do now was to slay this "God."

As the ground command was transmitted, in low-Earth orbit, dozens of massive metal rods, named the Blade of Divine Punishment, detached from the carrier satellite and plummeted towards the ground.

Their speed increased rapidly, instantly exceeding twenty times the speed of sound and still accelerating. What was even more shocking was that such high speed caused minimal disturbance.

Dozens of metal rods, fiercely rubbing against the air, turned into streaks of blazing celestial flames, emitting terrifying screams, like divine swords swung by gods, piercing directly towards the earth.

Ground.

Noah suddenly raised his head and looked towards the sky.

"Space-based weapon, so that’s it."

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Facing this incredibly terrifying strike, he showed no sign of panic.

"Boom~"

Blood-red light flames shot up from Noah’s body, and an extremely powerful force emanated from him. Then, Noah punched towards the sky.

"Mountain, River, Collapse!"

The ground completely shattered, and a massive deep pit appeared centered around Noah. Immediately, a blood-colored fist print spanning dozens of miles soared through the air, carrying the invincible might that could shatter mountains and rivers, effortlessly crushing the dozens of blazing celestial flames plummeting at high speed. The blood-colored fist print shot straight into the sky, instantly engulfing even the carrier satellite in low-Earth orbit.

The blood light, dozens of miles wide, pierced through the heavens and the earth, lingering for a long time.

Ten days had passed since his promotion to Three-order.

Noah’s highest stats, strength and physique, had long exceeded five hundred thousand.

Various skills had also improved, with the highest-level skills being close to Epic.

His cultivation technique had also advanced two realms, reaching the peak state.

He didn’t even need to go all out; just by activating Destruction Form, his full attributes exceeded what they were when he shot and killed the Four-order Demonized Monsters, including passive bonuses.

And then unleashing the high-multiplier Mountain River Collapse...

The power of this punch not only easily resolved the space-based strike but also punched into space, destroying all the satellites along the way.

...

Underground shelter.

Several Hawk Faction members were completely bewildered.

"W-what happened?"

They had no idea what had happened.

They had been grinning and laughing, thinking Noah was dead when they saw he didn’t dodge, but who would have thought that the next moment they would lose the picture.

"Look at the Awakener Forum," just as they were bewildered, a subordinate suddenly shouted, his voice filled with panic.

Several Hawk Faction members shivered, and a bad feeling arose in their hearts.

When they understood the reason, all their faces changed dramatically.

"Run!"

...

On the Awakener Forum, a video, once released, caused a huge stir.

The video still showed Noah.

From the moment he encountered the space-based strike to his fierce counterattack, everything was captured.

The video was short, ending with Noah’s cold words.

"Three minutes. If the Eagle Federation doesn’t give me a satisfactory answer within three minutes, this punch will land on Eagle Federation’s homeland."

Seeing the blood-colored fist light in the video that went straight into space, the people of the Eagle Federation were all scared stiff. They couldn’t imagine how many of them would die if this punch landed on the Eagle Federation.

And that wasn’t the most crucial part.

What chilled them the most was that such a powerful being had shown intense hostility and killing intent towards the Eagle Federation.

"No, you can’t do this."

"Oh God, please save us."

"Damn high-level officials, you truly deserve to die."

The Dove Faction members of the Eagle Federation were also scared. They didn’t doubt for a moment that the video was fake, because the terrifying blood-colored fist light hadn’t dissipated yet and could be seen through satellite imagery.

They didn’t hesitate to betray the Hawk Faction members.

Thinking they were completely unaware of the space-based strike was a lie.

One minute later, a terrifying golden light landed on the mountain range where the underground shelter was located. The mountain range directly disappeared, leaving a deep pit dozens of miles wide in its place.

After shooting down the opposing factions with a full-power arrow, Noah was not satisfied.

In desperation, the Eagle Federation could only continue to pay a huge price to quell Noah’s anger.

The Dove Faction members cursed the Hawk Faction members like dogs in their hearts, but since the latter had already turned to ash, their anger could only be vented on the latter’s relatives.

Afterward, the Eagle Federation’s high-level officials underwent a major reshuffle. The Dove Faction members stepped down one after another, and the pro-Starfall faction began to ascend the stage of history.

After this incident, anyone could see that the decline of the Eagle Federation had become a foregone conclusion. The future Lord of Blue Star could only be Starfall Country, with Noah in charge.

Noah didn’t pay any more attention to the subsequent developments, nor did he intend to push the Eagle Federation too hard.

Otherwise, if the other side went crazy and launched a nuclear war regardless of the consequences, Starfall Country would not fare well either.

Time was on Starfall Country’s side. With the Nine Provinces Cauldron in existence, constantly stabilizing space and eliminating disasters, the threat of nuclear bombs to Starfall Country would only become lower and lower. When the day came that there was no threat at all, if the Eagle Federation still didn’t recognize reality, it wouldn’t be too late to settle accounts then.
