Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

”Ground forces request support, coordinates (…, …), Guiling Sect.”

”This sect is a Golden Pill level power affiliated with the Xuanwu Tiangong, with a history of more than two thousand years. Its founding Ancestor Master was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Xuanwu Tiangong. Relying on a Golden Pill level grand Formation, it offers stubborn resistance. The whereabouts of the Supreme Elder, Immortal Guiyu, are unknown.”

”Requesting bombardment and hope that the superior forces will make every effort to locate Immortal Guiyu and eliminate him.”

”Coordinates... Tortoise-Crane Sect...”

”Coordinates... Spirit Fox Valley...”

The Air-Space Army’s main fleet hovered in the sky, stationed there, with squadron after squadron flying out in all directions, controlling and defending a land spanning tens of thousands of kilometers.

From time to time, a fleet would receive orders, speeding toward the given coordinates, and every hundred kilometers, the entire squadron would fire in unison.

In an instant, the mountain gates of Golden Pill forces would be shattered, their Formations detonated, and countless would be killed or injured.

The tank forces and infantry would follow closely, moving in to kill all Cultivators who refused to surrender, completing the occupation of the Third-tier Spiritual Veins.

Occasionally, transport ships would fly in from afar to carry the tank forces that had completed their occupation tasks to other directions.

They would go on to capture nearby First and Second-tier Spiritual Veins, eliminate Xuanwu Tiangong Cultivators within mortal nations, destroy mountains and temples, bombard divine sanctuaries with heavy artillery, and cleanse faith...

The ground forces would do anything, sweeping over the Geomagnetic Realm’s land like a sieve, eradicating all pests.

Occasionally, hidden Golden Pill Monks, enraged and unable to bear the desecration of their Sect by mere Qi Practitioners and mortals, would emerge to slaughter the Immortal Sect’s tank forces, causing casualties.

But within no more than a dozen breaths, fleets would roar in from the skies, with their cannons firing in unison, not bothering with one-on-one combat, but rather crushing the lone survivor with absolute superiority.

The Air-Space Troops patrolled the sky, exterminating any Golden Pill level Cultivators and Demon Beasts.

From time to time, transport ships and precisely carved teleportation Formations would leapfrog troops across vast distances, securing one location after another.

Though the tank forces comprised Qi Practitioners and mortals, their mobility surpassed that of Nascent Soul Monks.

In a matter of months, the Immortal Sect’s ground forces gradually completed the occupation of various locations. Forces belonging to the Xuanwu Tiangong that surrendered were temporarily accepted, while those resisting were destroyed on the spot.

Incense Spirituality and other forms of worship were shown no tolerance and were eradicated completely.

”Commander,”

”We are currently located in the southern region of the Geomagnetic Realm. Our primary mission is to destroy the thirty-six Xuanwu Four-polar Boundary Array bases set up by the Xuanwu Tiangong in this area.”

”Besides the thirty-six main Array bases, many of the Sect Protection Formations in the subordinate sects and families contain elements of the Boundary powers, which are extensions of the Xuanwu Tiangong’s control over the Geomagnetic Realm and an important part of their Outer Realm Army Formations.”

”Destroying them and establishing the Immortal Sect’s Boundary Formations is the entirety of our combat mission here.”

Ouyang Hui saluted and reported.

”Currently, about one-tenth of the southern part of the Geomagnetic Realm is under our control.”

”Next, we will launch attacks on the thirty-six Boundary Heaven Pillars in the south.”

”If there are no surprises, within the ranks of the Boundary Pillars, there are certainly Inheritance Disciples of the Xuanwu Tiangong stationed, possessing the ability to control the combined Formation of the thirty-six pillars. This is a significant geographical advantage, so please do not take it lightly.”

”Hmm.”

Jiang Ding nodded.

”Let’s depart.”

”Yes!”

Ouyang Hui saluted, and in the network conference room, the commanders of forty-eight armies, along with various deputies and chief of staffs, saluted simultaneously, in perfect unison.

Through the sky, the massive fleet of clouds that had been motionless for months, floating in the sky, began to move, stirring up terrifying storms and thunderclouds, with Array Patterns spreading out, exerting their presence far and wide.

Under the heavy pressure, even space itself showed ripples and waves.

This is the Domain Overlord patrolling its own territory!

Even if dozens of Immortals of Nascent Soul were present, they would be horrified, burning Essence Blood to flee far away at the first opportunity, with any delay resulting in certain death.

Forty-eight army fleets flew through the sky, nearly a million strong, covering the heavens without feeling cumbersome or slow, like geese migrating together, the airflow from their wings boosting the speed of their kind while reducing the expenditure of effort.

And so were these fleets of warships.

They maneuvered through space, moving along spatial pathways, their speed comparable to that of late-stage Nascent Soul Monks, and they seemed to have the potential to further enhance their speed, truly fearsome.

This is the military fleet of the Domain Overlord, the strongest army formation within the domain!

Even then, this isn’t the ultimate speed of this military force.

”I have completed the calculations. The time to reach the southern Boundary Heaven Pillars of the Boundary Formation is three years and seven days,”

the Ship Spirit Cloud Day whispered in Jiang Ding’s ear.

She had access to the command system of the northern Air-Space Army with the highest authority, but she didn’t interfere with the daily command operations of the troops, delegating all power to the deputy marshal.

At the same time, Ouyang Hui reported a similar time.

”Commander, the spatial node we are currently within matches the requirements perfectly. I request that the fleet perform a teleportation jump. By doing so, we can shorten the travel time to approximately seven days.”

”This fleet cannot perform the jump on its own, we need the support of the Starry Sky Troops.”

She saluted and made the request.

Fleet teleportation jump.

A unique technique of the Immortal Sect Army, capable of transporting to an extremely distant place without setting up a teleportation Formation, often used for travel in the starry sky.

The energy consumption, technical requirements, and the ability requirements of the cultivators are all exceedingly high. It is generally not used except in emergency situations.

Now, Ouyang Hui believed that it was time to use it in order to take control of the Geomagnetic Realm as quickly as possible.

”Wait a moment,”

Jiang Ding nodded and connected to the Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch of the Starry Sky Troops, saluted, and explained the situation.

”No problem,”

the Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch agreed without hesitation: ”The Starry Sky Troops are already calculating the spatial coordinates of the destination, using remote spatial interference technology to smooth out the spatial turbulence from afar. It will take twelve days, please wait in place.”

”Yes!”

Jiang Ding informed Ouyang Hui of the result.

After receiving the order, she issued a series of commands, adjusting the deployment of the forty-eight Air-Space Groups. The formations constantly changed, with the formation patterns faint and hazy, smoothing out the space within a nearly one hundred kilometer radius.

Gradually, after a few days, clouds, birds, and wind and rain were all repelled, creating unparalleled stability.

Occasional gusts of foreign winds were blocked at the boundary of the hundred-kilometer radius, unable to enter. This area had become an independent space with the spatial variables reduced to the bare minimum.

Ten days passed, and the transformation of the forty-eight army formations was complete.

Jiang Ding looked around, the forty-eight Air-Space Groups were dispersed in the one hundred kilometer radius, warships and Air-Space Warplanes unfolded, each with transparent and hazy formation patterns, serving as the formation bases. At a glance, it seemed as if one had entered a space that had been constructed for a long time for teleportation.

”Commander, preparations are complete!”

Ouyang Hui wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, ”Intra-domain transmission jumps are relatively easier, and our military’s training level is also up to standard, which is how we can achieve this.”

”If it were the Starry Sky Troops, then we would have to rely on our seniors to lead.”

”Very impressive,”

Jiang Ding commented.

If it were him in command, the transformation of the army formations would have been difficult to complete. It required a high level of command ability, understanding of the Formation Dao, and knowledge of the soldiers, officers, warships, and war machines. It was beyond the capability of all but the top commanders of the Immortal Sect warships.

Another two days passed.

”Calculation complete.”

The aged voice of the Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch arrived: ”Begin.”

”Yes!”

Jiang Ding saluted.

Hum!

In a surge of blinding white light, terrifying spatial fluctuations appeared amidst the fleet, with space rapidly changing. Waves of transparent and hazy spatial ripples appeared within the one hundred kilometer radius, concealing everything.

The next moment,

the fleet, like a dark cloud of steel warships, had vanished.
