Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Cannon bombardment.

The Boundary Formation Base of Xuanwu tiangong faced a disaster of catastrophic proportions.

The earth boiled, mountains snapped, rivers reversed their course, and volcanic magma erupted. Living creatures had no time to realize what was happening before they turned to ashes in the destructive columns of light.

Boom!

Crack, crack...

One by one, the thirty-six Boundary Heaven Pillars of Xuanwu crumbled, collapsed, and fell.

The rule of Xuanwu tiangong in this domain had permanently lost a cornerstone.

As a result, the effectiveness of the Army Formation of the forces from the Outer Realm diminished due to the loss of some of its anchors.

”Escape!”

”Go find the Taoist disciples...”

The few survivors among the cultivators of Xuanwu tiangong were terrified, each employing their techniques to flee in all directions.

Some used Escape Techniques to travel hundreds of miles in an instant, others transformed into mosquitoes, beetles, and even one, having lost their senses, turned into a damaged Air-Space Warplane.

Such a mix of methods was dazzling to see.

”Commander, we have yet to locate the two Inheritance Disciples of the Heavenly Palace here!”

After searching briefly, Ouyang Hui’s expression changed slightly. ”I’m afraid they were prepared. They might have used the Boundary Formation Base to set up a survival teleportation Formation.

We cannot immediately pinpoint it, and they might have escaped.”

Inheritance Disciples of Xuanwu tiangong possess tremendous individual combat abilities and command skills, and wherever they go they pose a significant threat.

”They did not escape.”

Clang!

With a flick of his finger, Jiang Ding unsheathed the Taiqing Flying Sword amid thunderous roars, merging it with space. In an instant, fifty miles away, space shattered, revealing a pitiable-looking fragile girl who looked over here in horror.

With the help of a Formation,

her speed now exceeded that of a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator abandoning their body and fleeing through space with their Nascent Soul!

But it only took one sword strike to force her out of space.

All of her concealments, all of her covers, were useless.

”And this one.”

Jiang Ding looked towards the ground and pointed again. ”This one is quite creative, I almost missed it.”

Whiz!

The Taiqing Flying Sword stabbed into the earth, piercing through layers of soil and rock, then burrowed into the magma, casting one strike at a thumb-sized magma worm.

”Ah!”

A miserable shout came from beneath the ground, the soil cracked, space blurred, and the earth itself split open as magma erupted, revealing a handsome and powerful man.

He had a sword wound on his chest from which blood gushed, and he stared with resentment at the young man a short distance in front of him.

”You two.”

”I know you’re both tough guys just like Armor One, so I won’t bother trying to persuade you to surrender.”

Jiang Ding was indifferent to their fear and hatred.

Layers of bluegold Sword Qi unfolded around him, covering nearly a hundred miles, forming a humming Sword Domain that assailed both kings of Xuanwu tiangong.

”So, die.”

The Fire King and Spirit King felt as if the Spiritual Energy around them was shackled, an immense pressure bearing down, making their breathing nearly stop.

Sword Domain!

Magic Domain!

Such things that should belong to Nascent Soul Monks were revealed with a flick of his fingers.

”...Kill!”

The Fire King’s face contorted with bulging veins and a ferocious gaze, he roared, and a thousand and two hundred Hairy Spirits appeared around him, their fierce faces equipped with ritual weapons such as knives, spears, axes, and maces, unceasingly chanting scriptures.

Gradually, strands of fire appeared, forming a fiery domain that spread outwards, displacing the surrounding bluegold Sword Qi, claiming an area of about thirty miles, recovering some control over the Spiritual Energy.

Even under the relentless entanglement of the dense Sword Qi domain, the fire domain was pushed back bit by bit, but ultimately it regained some freedom.

Drip, drip...

On the other side, the Rain Queen sighed sorrowfully, surrounded by twelve hundred graceful and charming Hairy Spirits, each holding luxurious ritual instruments such as umbrellas, seven-stringed zithers, and jade flutes. They danced in the sky, their movements incredibly beautiful.

With their dance, specks of rain fell, pattering down, and a hazy white mist formed, creating a realm of misty rain akin to that of an Immortal’s realm, magnificent and splendid.

Water and fire, the two domains merged their energies, with water giving birth to fire, and together, they actually withstood the invasion of the Sword Domain.

”Xuanwu Heavenly Palace truly lives up to its reputation as an old-domain force of the Immortal Sect.”

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ding couldn’t help but praise, his face showing admiration, ”The two of you joining forces, I’m afraid you could defeat a Nascent Soul Peak Cultivator.

The heroes of this world are indeed like carps crossing the river!”

”So what?”

”Dari Swordsman, you still won’t spare me, will you?”

The Rain Queen’s plea was pitiful and mournful, ”I am bound by the prohibitions of the Heavenly Palace and cannot defect. Can you think of a way?

I, too, can abandon darkness for light; I also want to live, willing to serve by your side for life.”

The beauty’s sorrowful appeal was heart-wrenching.

It all came from the heart, without any trace of magic.

An Siyan and Jin Lingfeng subconsciously glanced at her, their killing intent burgeoning.

”Hahaha!”

”Rain, you look so pitiful.”

Jiang Ding laughed loudly, pointing at the stunningly beautiful woman before him, ”I’ve read your background information, from a Small World, not particularly talented, even your looks were not good at the start.

You climbed your way up, relying on attaching yourself to one powerful person after another, from foundation building, to Golden Pill, Nascent Soul, to Nascent Soul Cultivators...”

”...truly remarkable.”

”To think that you could gain the wholehearted support of a Cultivator born from a demon’s lair like the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace, and for the most part, even manage to part on good terms with them, it’s truly astonishing.”

”I originally thought it might be seduction arts, or some special physique.”

”Now it seems, it’s all been genuine, truly terrifying, and I can’t help but admire you.”

Jiang Ding said, not without a sigh.

”It seems, after all, that people have emotional needs.”

”Even in a demon’s lair like the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace, where Cultivators devour and guard against each other, high-level Cultivators also need love; they too have attachments, as long as you can let the other person know you genuinely love them.”

”This is hard to achieve, yet you’ve done it.”

”You,”

Jiang Ding’s tone became solemn, using a term of respect.

”You are a strong person in terms of emotions.”

”Swordsman...”

Seeing this, the Rain Queen grew even more desperate, tears brimming in her eyes.

The beautiful woman cried, her tears fell like rain, threading through the sky like filaments, dropping to the ground drop by drop.

”A strong person, I will respect.”

Jiang Ding spoke calmly.

His hand rested on the hilt of his sword,

Boom!

A Great Sun rose behind him!

Its light was boundless, emitting terrifying heat, broadcasting an intent of destruction, prohibition, and annihilation, dominating an area nearly a hundred kilometers in radius.

Under the Great Sun’s brilliance, the fire and rain domains vaporized layer by layer, disintegrating.

There were also mournful cries, as if the spirits of water and fire withered and died under the destroying light, with the presence of the water and fire domains rapidly weakening.

In contrast, the Destruction Sword Domain’s presence soared under the sunlight, becoming sharper and more terrifying, like predatory fish devouring the range of the water and fire domains, transforming it into its own Sword Domain, dominating even more of the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi.

In the span of a breath, the water and fire domains collapsed, rapidly shrinking, as the Destruction Sword Qi surged like a tide, roaring towards them.
