Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Jiang Ding gripped the sword hilt and slowly stepped forward, gazing at the once Elite of the Xianmen Sect standing before him.

The Destruction Sword Domain had already unfolded.

The sky, the earth, and the depths of the molten magma below were all made up of real and substantial Sword Intent that spread around. Each strand of Sword Qi possessed its own unique will and spirituality, whether it was a thrust, a cleave, or a slant slash, all movements were methodically executed, imbued with an undying aura.

Xu Yan was cultivating the ”Canon of Tai Yin and Tai Yang” from the Immortal Sect Nine Fairy Scriptures, the version from two thousand years ago. It created a Domain of Taiyin Taiyang around him, where Yin and Yang reincarnated into countless Chaos Vortexes, intricate and mysterious.

This Domain was clearly much more powerful than that of Heavenly Monarch Wan Zhu, being merely in the mid-stage of Spirit Transformation. Indeed, he was once a figure among the Domain Elites.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle...

These Taiyin-Taiyang Chaos Vortexes devoured everything, smelting everything. Even Fifth Grade Spiritual Gold, if it fell inside, would be turned to dust in an instant.

The countless spirited Sword Qi waves of the Great Sun Destroying Sword Domain were instantly engulfed and disappeared batch after batch without any resistance. The Sword Domain was shrinking, and its control over the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi within a thousand miles was weakening.

”After all, it is only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul...” Xu Yan rejoiced in his heart.

He relaxed a bit, awakening from the fearsome battle record and dreaded reputation of the past Dari Swordsmen within the Domain, feeling the pressure in his heart ebbing away.

”Xu Yan, have you turned to the Sword Dao?” Jiang Ding, seemingly unconcerned about his domain’s disadvantage, looked towards the Heavenly Sword in Xu Yan’s hand, which carried the aura of a Life Treasure.

There could be no mistake.

Barring major surprises, even considering the various Sword Cultivators of the Immortal Sects, he should be ranked among the top twenty in this Domain’s Sword Dao.

Xu Yan didn’t respond.

”Sword Dao indeed has the potential to counter the Immortal Path, and your choice can be considered far-sighted.”

”But sadly, it seems that your fate isn’t so great,” Jiang Ding said, shaking his head.

Around them, rumbling sounds were incessant.

The Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch, Canghai Heavenly Monarch, and ten others had already surrounded Wang Zhongdao and the Fifth-Grade Superior Tian Xing Bei Dou Formation below him.

The Starry Sky Fortress Giant Cannon Array roared continually, launching a fierce and violent attack on the Formation Method, shaking the earth and mountains, boiling the Earth’s Qi, and continuously shattering space.

”My fate isn’t so great?” Xu Yan’s expression twisted: ”You damned youngster, how would you, a disciple raised by the Eastern Devil School on the heritage of the annihilated Great Sun Sword Pavilion, know the situation I’m up against, the bitterness I feel?”

”Why should I, a Domain’s gifted prodigy, have to spend his life in bitter cultivation with no hope of Refining Nothingness?”

”Oh?”

”A gifted prodigy of the Domain?”

Jiang Ding was surprised, and jokingly said: ”Xu Da, a gifted prodigy of the heavens, then why are you only at the mid-stage of Spirit Transformation?”

”Unable to see through even the Xuanwu Great Power’s trap, and being manipulated by a few words, without being given anything substantial, you became a pawn for the Immortal Sect, wasting your life away for others?”

”So, how did the Xuanwu Great Power entice you back then?” Jiang Ding asked, somewhat curious.

”Looking for death!” Xu Yan, who felt a direct stab to his heart, shouted fiercely.

Buzz!

Within a thousand miles, countless Yin-Yang rotating vortexes of light suddenly intensified, devouring all the Sword Qi and transforming into strands of intertwined black and white Sword Qi.

This surge of black and white Sword Qi suddenly enveloped the young man in green at the center.

With so much black and white Sword Qi, even a bird flying through would be instantly sliced into tens of thousands of pieces.

”Die!” Xu Yan coldly shouted.

”Die?”

”That’s not Magic, and it’s not of the Sword Dao either.”

”It’s neither here nor there.”

Jiang Ding shook his head slightly, as the myriad of black and white Sword Qi bore down on him, not even batting an eyelid.

”Stop.”

He pointed a finger.

Around him, all the myriad black and white Sword Qi that engulfed everything suddenly paused and truly stopped in their tracks.

It wasn’t spatial freezing, nor time halting; it was the Sword Qi itself that ceased, almost as if unwilling to proceed further and harm the king among swords.

”This is impossible!”

Xu Yan’s eyes bulged, filled with a terror that exceeded his comprehension.

”There’s nothing impossible here,”

”You’re just too weak.”

Jiang Ding rested his hand on the hilt of his sword and said slowly, ”You’ve chosen the path that combines magic and swordsmanship. Do you think you’re a genius who found an innovation point that others haven’t?”

”Unfortunately, that path has been thoroughly researched by the Great Sun Sword Pavilion.”

”This path is not wrong in itself. If you can successfully follow it and become strong, everything is right.”

”Unfortunately, you can’t.”

”In your combination of formation techniques and sword moves, what appears perfect at first glance actually has ninety flaws that I could find with my eyes closed. It’s hard to ignore them.”

”However, it’s not without its merits. Some of the swordsmanship structures did inspire me.”

Jiang Ding stated the facts.

”Too bad there are too many flaws.”

”If you had the Central Array Spirit Computer to check and fill the gaps, to calculate all the data, this formation sword technique might not be top-notch, but it would still be a decent legacy.”

”And now?”

”It’s about time to throw it in the trash.”

”Otherwise, if you keep using such pathetic things to insult me, you’ll be dead very soon.”

Clang!

As Jiang Ding’s words finished, a crisp sword-hum resounded through the void, and threads of golden cracks appeared on the static black and white Sword Qi, rapidly expanding like a spider web and shedding layers of black and white fragments, revealing the dazzling Blue-Gold Sword Light hidden beneath.

The fractures and cracks spread instantly in every direction on this black and white Sword Qi. The magical aura of Patriarch Xu extinguished instantly, transforming into Great Sun Annihilation Sword Qi filled with the will of heat, sharpness, destruction, forbidden laws, and anomalies!

To occupy the magpie’s nest!

After being swallowed by the Taiyin-Taiyang Vortex, this Great Sun Destruction Sword Qi did not vanish but instead aggressively devoured the Taiyin-Taiyang Sword Qi, soaring to further heights in a burst of power!

”What sword technique is this?”

Xu Yan was terrified.

To his horror, in just an instant, he had lost control over the domain within a thousand kilometers, all scattered mana had disappeared without a trace.

In all directions, above and below, the shining blue-gold Sword-light confined all external Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi.

”Creating sword techniques, especially those that can stand out in the Domain, is not easy.”

”Without the cumulative wisdom and heritage of past generations and no assistance from something like the Central Array Spirit Computer, you think you can carve a powerful path out of nothing.”

”You think you’re like me?”

”No, it seems I can’t do that either.”

Jiang Ding slowly drew his sword, ”Let’s see the swordsmanship I have developed with the assistance of the Central Array Spirit Computer, drawing wisdom from the Great Sun Sword Pavilion and the pinnacle of academic achievements of the Immortal Sects.”

”How is it different from yours?”

Clang!

Blinding light illuminated the vast area, omnipresent in every corner.

Within the thunderous sound, billions of electromagnetic faux lines hovered between heaven and earth. Two coils of lines, representing yin and yang, flowed like mountains and rivers from the center, covering thousands of miles, with countless runes similar to the Heavenly Gang Electromagnetic Prohibition emerging within these coils, forming numerous Immortal Path Electromagnetic Accelerators.

Among the billions of electromagnetic lines and Heavenly Gang Electromagnetic Runes appeared a sword that was half energy, half tangible, donned in twelve hundred stunning Sun Gauze Clothing, spreading its presence over the heaven and earth, firmly locking onto Xu Yan’s Divine Soul.

The Dyson Sun Sword Domain instantly came into existence.

”Xu Yan!”

”Listen well.”

Jiang Ding declared, ”This move is called Sword Technique: Heavenly Gang Electromagnetic Cannon!”

”It was accomplished by me, containing the collective wisdom of many friends from the Immortal Sects and the computing power of the Central Array Spirit Computer. Open your eyes wide and see, how it compares to the sword technique of a lone, unsupported Loose Cultivator like yourself!”

Boom!

Within the darkened heavens, the Taiqing Flying Sword, draped in twelve hundred Sun Gauze Clothing, vanished in an instant from the electromagnetic track.

”Kill!”

Xu Yan roared furiously, slashing out a chaos vortex of Taiyin-Taiyang, from which a Tai Chi Diagram blossomed, charging towards the place where his Divine Soul sent crazed warning signals.

Faintly within, a sword appeared amidst the Taiyin-Taiyang chaos vortex.

Boom!

Without any resistance, countless Spiritual Lights exploded, the Taiyin-Taiyang Vortex was utterly breached, and the yin-yang cycle’s delicate balance of Magic Intention and Sword Intent was futile.

Blue-Gold Sword Light cleaved down on Xu Yan, who was desperately wielding a Bronze Mountain Magic Treasure, shattering the high-grade Primordial Spirit-level Magic Treasure.

From the shattered Magic Treasure, a figure was flung out, coughing up blood and their aura plummeting.
