Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

The cannon was covered with runes and inscription patterns both inside and out.

When Jiang Ding’s Divine Sense surged into it, he was immediately dizzy with the intricate inscribed formation method. It took him a long time to locate the core of the formation at the middle section of the barrel, which was circular and resembled a series of intersecting magnetic field coils.

Mana flowed into it, leaving behind a Divine Sense Brand and a mana imprint.

This was specially custom-made.

The barrel could be detached for individual use, so it could be considered a separate Supreme Magic Tool that could be refined independently. As long as one’s cultivation base was sufficient, it could easily be refined to an Artifact level.

He meticulously checked every part and found no problems.

”Concealment and mobility have already been tested, now for the attack capability,”

Jiang Ding muttered to himself as his Divine Sense activated the Third-Order Magnetic Field Spirit Energy Gathering Killing Array on the Air-Space Warplane, gathering Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi from within a radius of tens of kilometers.

Even though he was already proficient with the Third-Order Magnetic Field Spirit Energy Gathering Formation over the years, it was still quite challenging.

It was like a mortal pushing a millstone weighing tens of thousands of pounds. Although ingeniously designed to leverage power, every step required his utmost effort, creating an illusion of the fabled labor of Yu Gong moving mountains.

”This is simply due to unfamiliarity, it will improve with more practice,”

”Continually refining the war machine and the Electromagnetic Main Gun will also speed up the process,”

Jiang Ding appeared quite confident.

Going through the motions, with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth constantly shaking and flames going out only to be reignited, after dozens of hours of grinding, the Third-Order Magnetic Field Spirit Energy Gathering Killing Array was finally successfully activated.

In an instant, everything before his eyes changed.

Within a radius of tens of kilometers, pale blue magnetic field auxiliary lines appeared, each line imbued with terrifying electromagnetic force that could easily wipe out groups of Cultivators in the Qi Practicing Phase.

Countless electromagnetic auxiliary lines crisscrossed, distributed throughout every space, with each having its own start and finish, not interfering with each other.

All the lines of electromagnetic force surged into the twenty-nine-meter-long Electromagnetic Main Gun, encircling it like coils.

Inside the barrel of the Electromagnetic Main Gun, a rod-shaped, silvery-white metallic electromagnetic shell vibrated, with the power of the Third-Order Spirit Element Sonar electromagnetic interlocking formation surging into it, ready to provide pinpoint guidance within a hundred kilometers.

”This is not the best electromagnetic shell,”

a thought crosses Jiang Ding’s mind.

Whoosh!

A flash of Taiqing Flying Sword’s light appeared inside the barrel, flicking away the original electromagnetic shell and taking its place. Filaments of Sword Qi began to emerge, connecting with the Electromagnetic Main Gun’s formation.

The inscriptions on the Electromagnetic Main Gun’s Third-Order Magnetic Field Spirit Energy Gathering Killing Array became disordered for a time.

But, after constant adjustments to the array, the feasibility of the electromagnetic shell was confirmed, and the Third-Order Spirit Element Sonar Formation did the same.

Countless forces of electromagnetic power surged into the barrel, forming a strong magnetic field;

Countless forces of electromagnetic power surged into the Taiqing Flying Sword, creating an electric current;

Between them, a horrifying force of Ampère’s law slowly emerged.

There was also a faint Sword Intent of Destruction diffusing, locking onto all Golden Pill and above Divine Souls within a hundred kilometers radius.

”What is this?”

Many Golden Pill Realm teachers and instructors instinctively felt a chill in their hearts, their shields lit up, and they frantically searched every location with their Divine Sense, even activating their own Air-Space Battleships.

”Warning!”

The voice of the Array Spirit sounded.

”An unreported offensive Golden Pill magic fluctuation detected. Please cease immediately or you will trigger the laws of the Xianmen Sect and face imprisonment.”

”If you need to test weapons, please proceed to the designated location.”

”Warning...”

”Alright,”

Jiang Ding quickly disconnected the Third-Order Magnetic Field Spirit Energy Gathering Formation that was constantly cycling Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi from within a radius of tens of kilometers, and the grayish electromagnetic force that enshrouded the Electromagnetic Main Gun gradually dissipated.

The bright rune lights on the Electromagnetic Main Gun sequentially went out.

”Which idiot is testing weapons again!”

Many of the Golden Pill Realm teachers and instructors finally relaxed and cursed continuously as they reported to the Central Array Spirit Computer.

”During peacetime, Third-Order offensive magic must be reported!”

Jiang Ding only then remembered this regulation.

Previously, he had been practicing in the mining area, casting spells from time to time went unnoticed, and even his sword control attacks had likely reached the Third Order with no one bothering him — he had thought this regulation no longer existed.

”Why does nobody care about the flying sword?”

He asked directly.

”Range.”

”According to the ’Third Order Magic Regulation,’ only attacks of great power and long range need to be reported. Attacks within the range of flying swords and artifacts do not require such measures, as long as one does not attack others, or exhibit such behavior, no rules will be broken.”

The voice of the Array Spirit resounded.

”I see.”

Jiang Ding understood at once.

The range and power of weapons on the Immortal Path were far too frightening; restrictions were specifically in place to protect the citizens of the Xianmen Sect, with undoubtedly many tragic lessons in history leading to such strict regulations.

”The last test item.”

”The giant supreme spiritual device - Electromagnetic Main Gun!”

A flash of light crossed Jiang Ding’s eyes.

The final exam had stipulated only the use of standard Air-Space Warplanes, but it had not said that one couldn’t bring their own Supreme Magic Tool, right?

It was indeed quite large, twelve tons in weight and twenty-nine meters in length, yet without a doubt.

This was a Supreme Magic Tool!

Mana flooded into the vast Electromagnetic Main Gun and it took over ten minutes to barely fill it up to the standard for solo activation, nearly draining the mana in his Elixir Field.

”Smaller, smaller, smaller!”

Jiang Ding chanted repeatedly.

Hum!

The twenty-nine-meter-long Electromagnetic Main Gun hummed as it disconnected from the warplane’s formation method and started to shrink — from twenty-nine meters down to twenty, then further down to ten meters...

In the end, it reduced to one meter in length, sliding out from the reserved passage in the war machine.

”Amazing.”

Jiang Ding held his breath, closely examining the one-meter-long rod.

It was silver-gray with densely packed runes covering it, the muzzle as thick as a finger, profound and unfathomable, with a faint azure light swirling within.

The Taiqing Flying Sword!

It was still inside, seemingly fond of the brand-new scabbard.

”Even smaller.”

Jiang Ding grasped both ends of the one-meter-long Electromagnetic cannon, infused mana into it, and compressed it towards the center, turning it into the size of a palm.

Then,

he placed it within the intercrossing electromagnetic patterns on his forehead and it disappeared from sight.

”Fuck! So heavy!”

Jiang Ding’s head plummeted, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Bang!

In a violent crash, his head created a deep pit several meters deep in the ground, sticking into it with his legs pointed straight up, resembling a giant garlic planted in the soil.

”Good thing the shield held up, or my head would’ve been smashed to a pulp.”

Jiang Ding felt an aftertaste of fear.

Mana surged into the center of his forehead, activating the weight-reduction formation method within the Electromagnetic Main Gun, and he flew up into the air while upside-down.

Gradually adjusting, swinging slowly like the minute hand of a clock, it took him a long time to restore his head-up position.

But without careful attention, his head would swing downwards again.

”I must refine the Electromagnetic Main Gun as quickly as possible!”

Jiang Ding, covered in mud, said fiercely.

Without further care for anything else, he carefully descended from the sky to beneath the blue-gold large tree and sat cross-legged, drawing in the trickle of Great Sun Essence and the finest essence of the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi falling from the branches.

Mana and Divine Sense poured into the Electromagnetic Main Gun inside his forehead, meticulously refining the restrictions and Formation Method runes within, imprinting his own brand.
