Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Within the radiant light of the teleportation Formation,

eyes closing, then opening.

Jiang Ding surveyed his surroundings.

Light!

Glittering golden light, the sky, the land, the ground like glazed gravel, everywhere, up above and down below, was light, imbued with a sharp and fervent will, eroding Divine Souls, obliterating the weak.

Clang!

The Taiqing Flying Sword hummed with vibration.

This was joy, like coming home, conveying waves of warmth and comfort; surprisingly, both Sword Intent and Divine Soul managed to grow slightly in this moment at the peak of Foundation Building.

”I heard,”

Jiang Ding mused to himself, ”that the Great Sun Heavenly Pond is a treasure of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion lineage. Successive Great Sun Sword Masters, at the end of their lives, merge their Divine Souls and bodies into this world, paving the way for future Great Sun Sword Cultivators, truly formidable indeed.”

Clang!

Clang! Clang!

The Taiqing Flying Sword, having absorbed enough Great Sun light, vibrated with a hum, its radiance growing ever brighter, it unsheathed itself and flew into the sky.

Endless Sword Intent of Destruction spread in all directions, the splendor unmatched, as Blue-Gold Sword Light, a mixture of two colors, scattered towards the ground.

Boom!

A symphony of countless sword cries echoed in response.

The entire ruined Great Sun Heavenly Pond roared and shook at this moment, numerous long-slumbering Array Patterns awakening, threads of Sword Dao light interwoven with Runes surged towards the sky.

Amidst the escort of numerous flows of Sword Dao light and Runes, the Azure Gold Sun ascended toward the sky, continuing its ascent until it positioned itself in the heart of a Formation Method core node that had slumbered for countless years, where it then remained motionless.

Hum!

More light burst forth, more Sword Dao Runes and Array Patterns revived; the entire broken Great Sun Heavenly Pond radiated light as if welcoming a rebirth.

Everyone within the Great Sun Heavenly Pond,

no matter where they were or what Formation they were in, could see the Azure Gold Big Sun in the sky, its Sword Light carrying the Sword Intent of Destruction unobstructedly shining upon every Cultivator.

”Is this the key?”

”Or some sort of ritual?”

Jiang Ding’s expression shook, unprepared for this turn of events.

It felt as though he had taken out a key and returned home; all the Formations were set up for the Flying Sword, with even special places dedicated to the refining and storage of Flying Swords.

He could distinctly feel that within the layered Array Patterns of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, the efficiency of refining the Taiqing Flying Sword’s body skyrocketed instantly by at least tenfold.

Years ago, it had already been refined to the limit, but the final trace that stubbornly refused to merge, signifying a certain limit, the one last bit of the Fusion Magnetic Crystal Core now dissipated into nothingness, merging into the sword body.

Primordial Magnet perfected!

After over a hundred years of continuous Refining, today it finally came to fruition.

Hum!

The Taiqing Flying Sword vibrated, and around its body, the faint Light of Yuanmagnet, now at the limit of Foundation Building, rippled outward in transparent concentric circles.

Under the illuminating Sword-light, the electromagnetic forces existing within all things in the world revealed traces of pale blue, drawn by the sword body effortlessly, transforming into the child of electromagnetic forces.

”And this Sword-light…”

After sensing for a moment, Jiang Ding revealed a look of joy as he observed the Sword-light and Sword Intent spread across the entire Great Sun Heavenly Pond, amplified by the Runes.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this must be a special design allowing other Great Sun Sword Cultivators to sense the Sword Intent of the Great Sun Swordsman, to sharpen their own Sword Intent against it, thus gaining corresponding enhancement.

In the heyday of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, with the Great Sun Flying Sword here, countless Sword Intent Sword Cultivators surrounded and protected it.

”Too ostentatious.”

With a thought from Jiang Ding, the light radiating from the Taiqing Flying Sword disappeared, concealed within the core of the Great Sun Heavenly PondArray; as his form vanished, he continued to refine the sword body.

”This is much better.”

He said with satisfaction, feeling it was right.

”...Swordsman...”

From a distant land, a faint call came through.

”...This is not right...”

```

”...A sword cultivator should be forthright and unafraid of hardships or dangers... to unsheathe the sword and face difficulties head on... The Eastern Devil School has defiled you...”

This voice suddenly appeared in the heart, bringing with it a strong sense of intimacy.

”Who?”

Jiang Ding’s Divine Sense coldly swept around.

Nothing was discovered.

With the help of the Taiqing Flying Sword, one could vaguely sense that this voice was omnipresent, pervading the entire Great Sun Heavenly Pond.

”...Swordsman...”

It was struggling to say something.

”...Eastern Devil School... great hatred...”

Suddenly, another cold and domineering voice emerged, flourishing with murderous intent.

”...Stealing our Sword Pavilion’s inheritance, cunning and despicable, all from the Eastern Devil School deserve to die...”

”...Kill, kill, kill all those thieving disciples of the Eastern Devil School who only know how to harm others in the shadows, Great Sun sword cultivators will never retreat...”

”...No, that is the Swordsman...”

The initial gentle voice sounded again.

”...You fool...”

A male and a female, two voices were interwoven in the Great Sun Heavenly Pond, faint to the extreme, as if they weren’t there at all, just the wind, perhaps a misunderstanding.

...

The destructive Blue-Gold Sword Light of the Azure Gold Sun lit up high in the sky, only to vanish after a short while.

”Great Sun Swordsman!”

”He’s really come!”

A ceaselessly flowing river of magma, with extremely high temperatures, with streams of Sword Qi occasionally rising from the river.

In the river, a simple-looking fatty fished out a five-layered small pagoda surrounded by the light of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and immediately felt a toothache coming on.

”Damn it, Eastern Devil School, just pilot your Air-Space Warplane like you’re supposed to, why practice the sword?”

An Tuzi complained, ”Even as the Great Sun Swordsman, I am tenfold certain that the covenant of the heavenly sect means nothing; he will definitely find an excuse to kill me.”

”I haven’t provoked you!”

”Why are you always looking to kill Taoist disciples for no reason, can’t you learn to be as balanced and calm as we magic cultivators?”

...

A winding small river, surrounded by misty ice fog, with fish-like Sword Qi, clear as ice and jade, swimming through the river. Occasionally, a butterfly would land, instantly freezing both soul and body, and moments later, it would be devoured by the delicate Sword Qi fish.

Within a radius of ten miles, life was forbidden due to the bitterly cold environment.

A breathtakingly beautiful girl, cold as the moon, was gazing at the sky at this moment.

”Remnants of the Great Sun, the same remnants that slaughtered the Moon Vein to near extinction years ago, have been revived once more...”

”Do they wish to exterminate my Moon Vein again?”

In the sky, the concealed form of the Blue-Gold Big Sun flickered, and at this moment, a transparent and hazy Blue-Gold Sword Qi fell silently, surreptitiously approaching her, wanting to cling to her Moon-White Fairy Skirt.

”Ridiculous.”

Yu Qianzi gave a cold smile and with a light flick of her fingers, the Blue-Gold Sword Qi instantly collapsed into Spiritual Light.

...

In other places, the Blue-Gold Sword Qi was not so discreet.

The Azure Great Sun flickered, and streams of Blue-Gold Sword Light fell, passing over cultivators from the Green Wood Immortal Sect, Heavenly Mechanism Immortal Palace, Shangqing Lingbao Sect and others, heading straight for disciples of the Xuanwu tiangong and Wanshou Immortal Sect, causing no harm.

It merely sliced through the flesh on their brows, leaving behind marks of the Blue-Gold Great Sun in their Divine Souls, branded with Sword Intent.

”Eastern Devil School, Great Sun Swordsman!”

”You are far too arrogant!”

Many cultivators were furiously outraged.

Three streams of at least minorly complete Sword Intents rose, shadowing the sky, immobilizing all creatures with a Divine Soul, rendering them unable to move.
