Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

In the starry sky, the Refining Void Dao Soldiers and Army Formations of the Eight Great Immortal Sects were at an absolute disadvantage, even collapsing in places.

This all struck fear into the hearts of Daoist Soldiers and Cultivators, yet they did not lose faith.

Roar!

Finally, a towering Xuanwu, suppressing the Star River, appeared in the starry sky, its boundless oppressive force spreading wide, shaking the Star River.

With a raise of its hand,

An immortal Divine Gold pillar of colossal size crashed down, instantly destroying a small planet; fortresses’ heavy artillery, thousands of aircraft carriers’ main guns, and Cultivators were pulverized into nothing.

Xuanwu!

A Great Expert from the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace!

The Cultivation World, after all, is a realm where great power converges in a single being. No amount of Daoist Soldiers, no number of Army Formations, could match the presence of a top-tier powerhouse, whose every move stirred up storms within the Star River.

And that wasn’t all;

Following the tides of the Netherworld Gang Wind in the starry sky, a verdant, towering Big Tree appeared, its mountain-range like branches swaying, effortlessly brushing away the Destruction Light Columns from the thousands of fortress main cannons like dust.

Roar!

Roar roar!

Next, the terrifying sound waves of Wanshou beasts howling emerged within the Star Domain, and one by one, immense silhouettes appeared: a Black Dragon, a Fire Phoenix, a Mountainous Giant Ape, a Nine-Headed Eagle Snake... all ancient divine species of Immortals and Gods, supreme among their peers, capable of suppressing swathes of Elites.

But at this moment, they all circled around a hazy old man, bowing and acknowledging him as their liege.

Amidst the countless treasures, there was a figure bathed in brilliant Gold Light, holy and auspicious, with immense dignity, supremely sacred;

There was also a figure surrounded by layers of cinnabar clouds, inciting a yearning in the soul, as if the hope for breaking through and Becoming Immortal was right before one’s eyes; in a twinkling, it transformed into a deadly poison, corroding meteorites and silencing warships into ash;

And there was a figure within a world where the five elements cycled between creation and Destruction…

Aside from the Great Expert hidden in the unknown Shadow Demon Abyss, all eight Masters of Refining Nothingness had arrived!

The moment they appeared, they reversed the downward spiral of the Immortal Sect’s Daoist Soldiers and Army Formations. With their own actions, they obliterated large swathes of the Star Domain; tens of thousands of Xianmen Cultivators and warships perished in silence, numerous Divinity Transformation Heavenly Monarchs were killed.

The casualties in that instant far surpassed any before!

”You, are courting death!”

The Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch’s eyes turned red as he spoke coldly.

Hum!

Hum hum!

As he pressed his hand down, within the vast Domain, over a dozen Minor Thousand Worlds resonated, the Netherworld Gang Wind and Taiyin Divine Light roared forth.

In the endless starry sky, countless mysterious and profound Star Runes emerged, spreading across every part of the Star River, exuding a terrifying presence.

Boom!

In the sky, accompanied by the thunderous sounds of the Star River shattering, star after bright star ascended into the high heavens, one after another, reaching three hundred sixty-five!

Three hundred sixty-five stars hung high in the sky!

Their starlight poured down into the Star River, the darkness was swept away, and it shone as bright as daylight. More stars rose and fell, and the horrifying sight of a universe being destroyed and reborn manifested in the Star River, causing the eight Masters of Refining Nothingness, who had launched a surprise attack, to feel an imminent upheaval; the collapsing Fleet and Army Formations stabilized.

A Star Field Level Grand Formation, the ”Formation of Myriad Stars of the Northern Dipper from the Heavens”!

”Yuan, I’ll leave it to you.”

The Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch stepped aside, revealing the person behind him.

This was a kind-looking old man, dressed in a worn Starry Sky Troops Marshal’s uniform, riddled with repair marks, without much oppressive energy, akin to a country school teacher.

The Starry Sky Marshal’s uniform seemed somewhat out of place on him, lacking a commanding aura.

Yet, the instant he appeared, the eight Masters of Refining Nothingness all fixed their gazes with a concentrated intensity.

All Immortal Sect officers and soldiers looked on with fervor.

Yuan!

This is the eighth generation leadership of Xianmen Sect!

He had taken over the mother planet that had just been reclaimed from the hands of the seventh generation leader Wu, led the scarred Xianmen through the chaos of the domain battles, and rose to the present where nearly a hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators, and twenty-four Minor Thousand Worlds were under its wing.

It was also he who, three thousand years ago, led the Immortal Sect Fleet and, together with the Eight Great Immortal Sects, destroyed the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, ending the ambition of a Domain Ruler of the era, and secured a place for Xianmen to survive.

Now,

after the arrival of all eight Great Experts and the mother planet being out of the risk of annihilation, he came.

Not just him alone, but behind him, billions of warships, Starry Sky Fortresses, and Air-Space Warplanes were distributed throughout the starry sky, the Army Formation was tight yet not rigid like a Guichi; instead, it naturally harmonized with the universe’s starry sky, constantly adjusting its formation, perfectly blending into the stars.

The elite of Xianmen, the Heavenly Gang Thirty Orbital Troop and the Earth Evil Seventy-Two Orbital Troop, which had participated in the destruction of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, arrived!

Even the Heavenly Monarch Wanji had been transferred, standing behind Yuan, leaving the Eastern Starry Skies Group Armies in the hands of a young Divinity Transformation like Canghai Heavenly Monarch to command, returning to his old unit.

This was the ultimate foundation of Xianmen.

Only the last Starry Sky Troops, who would be dispatched only after confirming the absolute safety of the mother planet, made their move!

Because of his arrival,

the battlefield fell silent for a moment.

”Yuan,”

”It has been a long time since we had seen each other.”

The Great Expert of Wanshou Immortal Sect, surrounded by the halo of Star River’s beasts, slowly spoke, not treating him as a junior Nascent Soul, the sound waves vibrating through the universe: ”You are not our match, retreat, our terms remain the same as before; just return to the state before the war, and all conflict will be avoided, and your Eastern Devil School can still preserve itself without any changes.”

”This is the last chance we are giving you, out of years of camaraderie.”

The voice of the Great Expert was calm and confident, expressing an obvious, established fact.

”Fellow Daoist, please.”

Yuan did not respond, taking over the command of the troops.

In the blink of an eye, the honor guard fleet brought from Xianmen’s Mother Planet merged into Yuan’s expeditionary fleet, seamlessly integrated, indistinguishable between us and them, with the might of the entire formation increased several-fold, and in unison with the Formation of Myriad Stars of the Northern Dipper from the Heavens.

The might of the formation became even more terrifying, causing numerous Immortal Sect Refining Void Dao Soldiers to feel suffocated, terrified, hardly daring to look straight.

Hum!

A huge world’s phantom expanded from the formation, depicting countless citizens of Xianmen learning, producing, fighting, researching, marrying, having children, seeking the Dao, dying, and other aspects of life, so lifelike it almost formed a complete world, far surpassing the times when Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch commanded the fleets.

This world of beings expanded, expanded, with a very clear target.

It was none other than the Great Expert of Xuanwu Heavenly Palace!

Under the expansion of this world of beings, the Xuanwu standing between heaven and earth, shaking the Star River, the world gradually got swallowed, emitting the crackling sounds of breaking, more fragile than imagined.

The Great Expert of Xuanwu Heavenly Palace had been severely injured before!

Xianmen’s strategy was clear and obvious, for both friends and foes to see.

There was just one question,

Under life and death circumstances, could the Great Expert of Xuanwu Heavenly Palace fight to the end and turn the tide?

And could the support of the other seven Great Experts be timely and accurate, providing protection and coverage for their disadvantaged comrade?

No one knew.

The world is chaotic, not simply black and white.

The Great Expert of Xuanwu Heavenly Palace had seasoned battle experience, cold and rational, unafraid of a battle to the death, and the seven Great Experts were not foolish; they were aware of the situation and would not easily abandon the heavily injured expert of Xuanwu Heavenly Palace.

Yet, his instinct for self-preservation was undeniably present.

The outcome of the battle would be directly determined by the eight Masters of Refining Nothingness.

If they could cooperate well, or even just passably, the fleet of Xianmen would surely be destroyed, and its citizens would undoubtedly perish. That was inevitable.

In terms of raw power,

Xianmen was far inferior to the Eight Great Immortal Sects and was not the dominating Great Sun Sword Pavilion that once ruled the entire domain.
