Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Immortal Mieri still looked the same as ever.

He resembled the guy with the yellow-dyed hair from the hair salon on the street corner, the kind that had hints of black in it, his skin as pale as someone who had spent seven days and nights in an internet cafe, wearing a leather jacket, holey pants below, and a pair of sports shoes from an indeterminable era.

”You guys are...”

Li Ritian gaped in astonishment, his mind going disarray as he looked at the yellow hair on Immortal Dinghai and the others.

No,

Could it be that in just under a hundred years, the winds of fashion within Xianmen Sect had changed to this extent?

”Senior Sun Extinguisher!”

”Your sense of aesthetics truly surpasses the times, seeing through the river of time, unmatched by anyone.”

Immortal Luling flicked his yellow hair and fawned, ”Just look at these curly yellow locks, how beautiful, how suave. If I had your aesthetic sense back in the day, I could have easily married a fairy by just beckoning with my finger.”

”You are the beacon of light on the road of my life!”

He lamented almost poetically.

”Stop it!”

”Don’t disgust me.”

Li Ritian shivered in revulsion, brushing his hair with his hand, unimpressed: ”With your one-eyed fierce appearance, how can you be even remotely associated with fashion trends?”

”You’re insulting my art here!”

”Truly, I suddenly awakened to a sense of aesthetics...”

Immortal Luling tried to defend himself.

”Enough, stop with the nonsense!”

”Speak up.”

Li Ritian said helplessly, ”Stop disgusting me, what do you want?”

”I’ll just say it now, I’ve just gotten promoted, and my pockets are so empty they’re practically shedding dust, not a single hair to my name. Don’t even think I’ll be handing out any rewards; I have no idea where my next meal is coming from.”

”No way, I remember when you’re promoted to Heavenly Monarch, Xianmen Sect gives a support fund...”

Someone murmured faintly, exposing the truth.

Xianmen Sect would never let a true monarch be so impoverished—it just wouldn’t make sense. The yearly allocated military budget was an astronomical figure, and the favoritism in policy was enough to make anyone drool.

”It’s not much.”

”Really, it’s not a lot.”

Li Ritian clutched his old storage bag defensively, eyeing them warily: ”Dream on if you think you can get your hands on my wallet - are you kids itching for a spanking?”

”No, no.”

Immortal Luling smiled sheepishly, seemingly regretful.

”Senior Sun Extinguisher,”

Immortal Dinghai seized the opportunity to ask, ”could you take us to see Immortal Techniques? Just ten times, it won’t take too many years, at most just a hundred or so years, really brief.”

”Immortal Techniques?!”

”What Immortal Technique?”

Li Ritian said, shaken and incredulous.

”Yes, Immortal Techniques.”

Immortal Dinghai eagerly shared the recent happenings of Xianmen Sect with him.

”Hiss…”

”Impressive.”

After seeing it, Li Ritian’s excitement surged, ”Which mighty person was so strong as to bring Immortal Techniques to Xianmen Sect? They are almost a third as cool as me...”

”If they could truly be assimilated and utilized, Xianmen Sect’s combat power might climb to a new level. Once I’m done here, I must go check it out immediately. Have Canghai show me the way.”

”So you agree?”

Immortal Dinghai immediately pressed.

”Agree? Fine,”

Li Ritian rolled his eyes, ”You’ve been conniving just to get this from me, haven’t you? Fine, I’m in a good mood today, but forget about ten times—each of you gets one, and that’s after I get used to the Divinity Transformation stage of cultivation.”

”Senior Sun Extinguisher is mighty!”

”I knew someone as generous as Senior Sun Extinguisher couldn’t possibly be stingy!”

Immortal Dinghai, Immortal Luling, and the others were overjoyed, showering him with flattery until Li Ritian blushed with pleasure.

”Senior Sun Extinguisher, we want in too!”

As they spoke, after a moment or two, Immortal Liexing from Beidou University and Cave Gold True Monarch from the military forces finally arrived, yelling out.

”You guys?”

”Too late, I don’t have that much time to spare.”

Li Ritian rolled his eyes again.

”Senior Sun Extinguisher…”

”Please no!”

Immortal Liexing, Cave Gold True Monarch, and the others wore mournful expressions, their eyes brimming with unshed tears as they gave the Heavenly Monarch a pitiful look like wounded little animals.

He did not move a muscle, simply watching.

”...”

After staring for several minutes, Li Ritian couldn’t take it any longer and reluctantly said, ”Release thirty more slots, you draw them randomly. I really don’t have time. I still need to stabilize my cultivation base, switch cultivation methods, practice Divinity Transformation stage magic, and accelerate my industry layout and all these...”

”Spare me, please!”

”Thank you, Senior Sun Extinguisher!”

Only then did Immortal Liexing, Cave Gold True Monarch, and others put away their injured animal-like gazes, cheerfully saying.

”Right, how’s our Great Sun Swordsman doing lately? Is he alright now?”

Li Ritian asked casually.

”Middle Jindan Stage.”

Immortal Dinghai hurriedly answered, ”He’s also here, just a bit slow. You’ll see him in a moment.”

”Middle Jindan Stage?”

”It’s not even a hundred years, is it?”

Li Ritian was stunned for a moment, silently breathing a sigh of relief.

If he hadn’t advanced further, he suspected that he wouldn’t know when he’d be beaten up by the Great Sun Swordsman again, and the bravado he had just made would burst instantly.

”Yes.”

”Immortal Luling carefully said, ”He’s becoming more and more like it now, you restrain your instincts a bit.”

”The last time I saw him, I almost blasted him away with a single shot. That was when I was young, and I only participated in the Taiyin Sword Sect war.”

His battle instincts were still quite weak.

”Don’t worry.”

”This lord here controls mana and Divine Sense much better than a youngster like you can imagine,”

Li Ritian said nonchalantly.

At that moment, his gaze became sharp.

On the horizon, the figure of a young man in green appeared.

A sixteen-year-old boy, handsome in appearance, always cloaked with a Concealment Spell, but in the eyes of a Heavenly Monarch, what he saw wasn’t a person.

It was a Bluegold Heavenly Sword piercing the sky!

The keen aura of destruction, elimination, and prohibition covered the sky and obscured the sun, shaking the Star River, mastering the domain, ruling over the eons of birth and demise.

Although young, he was already capable of killing Nascent Souls, the only Crown Prince of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion.

The distinctiveness of this aura was too obvious, hardly requiring any thought.

”Great Sun...”

At Li Ritian’s chest, a sword-shaped scar cutting through his heart and sternum throbbed dully with pain.

In vague memories, he recalled his old teacher, parents, classmates, lover, relatives—under such Sword-light, warships shattered, their lives extinguished, souls obliterated.

He too had been on the verge of death countless times under that Sword-light, relying on the Xianmen Sect to be healed, struggling for over three thousand years to recover.

His fingers subconsciously pinched a mana technique, and his Divine Soul moved accordingly.

Boom!

The Spiritual Energy of the vast Star River and Heavenly Earth suddenly became agitated, parting the sea of clouds to reveal a ten-thousand-meter cannon, which transformed into a destructive, blazing white light that descended from the sky, broadly covering the area indiscriminately, particularly effective for annihilating defenseless Sword Cultivators.

It was completely out of instinct, a reflex.

Without any thought whatsoever.

”Damn it!”

Far away, Jiang Ding was talking with someone beside him when suddenly, an endless chill engulfed his body and soul.

His entire Divine Soul roared as the Taiqing Flying Sword vibrated loudly, frantically alerting him to the danger he was in.

What use was it being a Domain Ruler Crown Prince?

Without full growth, others surpassing you by two, even three stages to strike at you, what could you do about it?!

”Kill!”

At the brink of life and death, boundless killing intent surged in Jiang Ding’s heart. His body’s mana burned like flames, accompanied by an endless thunderous sound.

Clang!

Amid the ringing of swords, a Sword Qi Thunder Sound channel appeared between the ocean-like Divine Soul and the Flying Sword in the distance. Space changed, resistance sharply decreased.

”Sword Nine!”

In his instincts, Jiang Ding used the most suitable counter, sensing that the person in front of him lacked refined swordsmanship skills, unable to crush him with technique against the flaws of swordsmanship.

Rumble!

Rumble, rumble!

One after another, destructive Great Suns rose, followed by a second cycle, a third... the ninth cycle, thundering along the Sword Qi Thunder Sound channel. Led by the Nascent Treasure level Taiqing Flying Sword, it charged irresistibly toward the mighty target where no escape was possible—a deathly assault without any regard!

In this moment of life and death, wills of elimination and destruction emerged within the nine Great Suns. Problems that had hindered his swordsmanship and Sword Intent for decades were invisibly overcome, greatly enhancing their power.

This sword,

Could kill many current Yu Qianzis in an instant!
