Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Atop Yin Yang Magneto Spiritless Mountain, within the Dark Demon Palace.

Jiang Ding sat upright on the Six Dao Throne, his sword placed beside him, playing with a fist-sized Ice Snow Palace in his hand.

Below the ninety-nine black jade steps, Tushan Maiden Corps leader and Military Sect Sect Master Hei Louxi, Great Sun Longsword Commander Master Xufang True Monarch, Chaos Law Heavenly Commander Master Tianyang True Monarch, along with eight titled maids, various Cultivator Camp leaders, Immortal Qingyun, Scorching Sun Immortal, Immortal Yin Dao, and seventy-nine others.

The immortals concentrated their minds and held their breaths, not daring to look directly, only using their peripheral vision to watch the person on the throne.

These were all the generals of the Tushan Central Court, with all the immortals of the Northern Plains gathered here.

Even if some immortals were still hidden in the shadows, they could not hope to cultivate using a Fourth-Order Spiritual Vein; once discovered, they would be immediately expelled from the Northern Plains. In the face of the greater good of the Human Race, there would be no tolerance for those attempting to muddy the waters or hitch a free ride.

Wanting to preserve strength and share in the spoils after the battle was utterly impossible.

Even in defeat, Jiang Ding would first execute those who had refused to contribute during the war and then appeared afterwards; he would not tolerate it.

”There’s no need for a military review.”

”If you say it’s fine, then it’s fine,”

Jiang Ding said indifferently.

He casually tossed the Ice Snow Palace in his hand, allowing it to enlarge and expand to several miles in size. The Ice Snow Palace, crystal clear and radiant, emitted a coldness capable of freezing the bodies of Golden Pill Monks.

It was indeed a prized treasure of the Western Desert Demon Race Dynasty, the Emperor’s moving palace.

As the Ice Snow Palace expanded, the tiny figures within it gradually became visible to the naked eye.

Many immortals’ pupils slightly constricted.

Inside the Ice Snow Palace, rivers of blood flowed, and severed limbs lay scattered everywhere. Many Demon Kings and Demon Monarch corpses were strewn about, the blood still vividly red, preserved well by the surrounding cold, almost recreating the terrifying scene of the massacre.

Even the faces of many Demon Monarchs retained their expressions of terror in perfect detail.

In all the wounds, there was only one commonality – the traces of a sword.

At this moment, a chill went through the hearts of all immortals.

At the edges of these corpses, there were some surviving Demon Generals, Demon Kings, and Demon Monarchs who had not participated in the fight, maybe out of cowardice, perhaps due to lack of time, or possibly due to some foresight; clever beings, both humans and demons, were always numerous.

Thus, they survived, falling into a comatose state induced by a powerful seal.

The hall was dead silent.

There were no noises, no sounds of breathing; the weakest here were Immortals of Nascent Soul, who had no need for such, all patiently waiting.

”Ugh, my head hurts, damn it, who’s looking for death...”

The first Demon to awaken was a Demon Monarch from the Mysterious Tiger Clan, one of the Six Great Royal Clans. He was naturally hot-tempered and lawless, quickly angered to the point of daring to challenge even peers from the Ice Phoenix royal family.

”Who’s looking for death...”

”...death... death...”

The next moment, this hulking Demon Monarch with the head of a tiger trembled, his teeth chattering.

Nearly a hundred Human Race immortals!

And one young man in green robes seated on the throne, calmly looking at him.

The Mysterious Tiger Demon Monarch clutched his own mouth tightly, not allowing any sound to escape.

”Human Race...”

”Heavenly Monarch, Heavenly Monarch...”

”Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save the Emperor...”

As time passed, inside the Ice Snow Palace, the sealed Demons, dormant for twelve years, gradually awoke, causing chaos and noise.

Many Demon Race Imperial Guards picked up their weapons, forming military formations, swallowing nervously as they stared around them, their combat readiness extremely high.

However, upon seeing the young man in green robes on the Six Dao Throne, all courage drained from the Demon Race Imperial Guards, who in a tight formation, protected their Emperor without daring any provocative actions.

Gradually, the Ice Phoenix Demon Monarch, who had endured the tightest sealing, awoke.

The Ice Phoenix Demon Monarch made no panicked moves.

Her gaze swept around, passing briefly over the nearly one hundred Human Race immortals, then settled on the young man in green robes sitting on the Ninety-Nine-Tiered Platform’s Six Dao Throne.

Her pupils contracted slightly, and her heart was filled with immense shock.

”As the Emperor of the Demon Race, she was well aware of what it meant for the Six Great Royal Clans and the true lords of the Northern Plains Families such as Yin Dao and Bing Yu to show their respectful submission.

This indicated that

the Human Race’s newly risen Heavenly Monarch had likely slain the old Human Clan Heavenly Monarch and had united the Northern Plains Human Race!

Having freshly ascended, he had completed the transition of eras!

This meant that once again, a figure like Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch had appeared in the Northern Plains.

”Salutations, Tusen Heavenly Monarch!”

Ice Phoenix Immortal bowed deeply and respectfully said, ”Congratulations on defeating Heavenly Monarch Wan Zhu and uniting the Northern Plains Human Race, establishing a foundation that will last for thousands of generations.”

”Thank you for your congrats, fellow Daoist.”

A soft voice emanated from the ninety-nine-leveled platform, displaying neither joy nor anger.

The anxiety of Ice Phoenix Demon Monarch deepened.

An indeterminate amount of time passed before another voice was heard.

”Fellow Daoist, your mother has been waiting for you for a long time, please return quickly to ease the elder’s worries.”

”Mother?”

Ice Phoenix Demon Monarch revealed a look of wild joy.

Struggling to contain herself, yet managing to do so, she respectfully said, ”Thank you, Heavenly Monarch, for your forgiveness for any previous discourtesy.”

”May the Heavenly Monarch live as long as the heavens, for thousands of generations.”

She took a step back with every bow, retreating face forward, until she reached the edge of the Dark Demon Palace before turning around and flying out, not daring to fly too fast, maintaining a steady speed as though afraid to disturb a fierce beast.

”Thank you, Heavenly Monarch!”

The remaining demons, as if granted amnesty, followed suit quickly, surrounding Ice Phoenix Demon Monarch and flying swiftly towards the gate of the Liudao Sect, disappearing into the horizon shortly after.

After the demons left, the interior of the Dark Demon Palace remained quiet, but the air gradually grew colder, filled with a murderous aura.

”Go forth.”

”Go and annihilate all the Cannibal Demon Tribe, to revive the Northern Plains Human Race, to revive the foundation of the Human Race.”

Jiang Ding slowly said, ”Go, seize the Cultivation Practice opportunities entitled to you, and even... the Opportunity to Transform into a Deity!”

”There will be rewards for merits and penalties for mistakes, that is my promise.”

”If you still harbor doubts, just go and do it, the facts will prove everything.”

”Yes! Heavenly Monarch!”

”Yes! Swordsman!”

”Yes! My Lord!”

The Immortals were brimming with murderous intent, shouting in unison, ”We will surely reclaim the Northern Plains, revive the Human Race, then step into the Western Desert and breach the Demon Imperial Court, presenting prisoners at your royal steps!”

”Very well.”

Jiang Ding nodded.

”We take our leave!”

Hei Louxi, True Master Void Square, Tianyang Immortal, and others bowed again and slowly exited the Dark Demon Palace.

Inside the Liudao Sect, the military flags were dense, the Army Formations steamed with killing intent, yet it was strangely silent, devoid of birds, insects, or even the sound of the wind, as quiet as dropping a needle could be heard.

In this silent gate, a million cultivators of Primordial Magic Heavenly Metropolis, a hundred thousand Swordsman Cultivators of Great Sun Longsword Metropolis, and a hundred and eighty thousand maids of Tu Shan Maiden Corps stood motionless for days, like statues.

”Advance!”

”Advance!”

”Advance!”

Southeast Wind Female Servant Hei Louxi, Tianyang Immortal, and True Master Void Square returned to their respective Army Formations and commanded sharply.

Buzz!

In an instant, countless Array Patterns surged, Spiritual Light overflowed, and the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi rose like a tsunami, billowing and undulating. Three massive Army Formations soared into the sky, covering hundreds of miles of land, carrying heaven-reaching killing intent towards the distance.

Their target was the ancient gate of the Great Sun Dharma Sect and the ruling center of the Western Desert Demon Race Dynasty in the Northern Plains!
