Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

With each sword strike raining down, the Great Sun sacrificed itself in an explosion, the Great Snow Mountain collapsed, and millennia-old ice layers melted away, converging into rivers that flowed in all directions.

The three Heavenly Monarchs kept retreating under the Taiqing Flying Sword, constantly retreating until the icy talons and beaks were numb, sore, and limp. The Incense Fire Divine Guard and the Hundred Poisons Golden Thread Gu kept plummeting under the sword-light, losing their vitality, their numbers dwindling.

The situation, though slowly, was firmly plummeting into the abyss, and the likes of Bai Zu Heavenly Lord began to feel a slight terror in their hearts.

”Three Fellow Daoists, is this all you’re capable of?”

Jiang Ding asked amiably: ”If this is all, then you are about to die, which is quite regrettable.”

”Alas, for many years in the mortal world, you have committed unforgivable acts and harmed at least hundreds of millions of Human Race souls. Today might be the time for cause and effect to exact its retribution.”

”I, as a person of high moral standing and justice, am willing to enforce justice on behalf of Heaven, to return to the world a clear and bright universe.”

He spoke with regret.

”Tushan!”

”You self-righteous mongrel!”

Ice Field Heavenly Monarch glared with cold eyes and cursed vehemently: ”You massacre our Demon Race willfully, violating the natural law of all beings’ freedom to reproduce and thrive.”

”Heaven will surely cut you off, Earth will surely spurn you!”

”The world does not belong solely to the Human Race, but to all races, to all creatures.”

”You are already despised by Heaven and Earth!”

”With cause and effect in motion, you are sure to meet a terrible end, with no chance for salvation for all eternity!”

”Hmm?”

”Mongrel?”

Jiang Ding’s expression turned cold.

He thought to himself that, from beginning to end, he had been nothing but polite, strictly adhering to the etiquettes taught by his seniors. Even when preparing to kill, he had never uttered a curse or any foul language.

Extremely agreeable and adorable.

What did such politeness, such kindness earn him?

It earned him the unconscionable insults of those with no quality!

”Ice Origin Fellow Daoist, you really are a maniacal member of the Cannibal Demon Tribe.”

”Incurable, at that.”

Jiang Ding sighed, not taking offense.

He was magnanimous, a model citizen of the Xianmen Sect, polite and courteous from start to finish.

Zzz~

Zzzt~

An infinite number of electromagnetic phantom lines appeared between Heaven and Earth. Billions of these lines encircled a magnetic field, centered around the green-clothed youth, unveiling a true blue trajectory within a thousand-mile radius where the invisible magnetic field of the Minor Thousand World manifested a new center.

Revolving around the green-clothed youth, the center of the Electromagnetic Heavenly Monarch!

Throughout the world, the sound of electricity crackling rose and fell incessantly, and the force of various electromagnetic energies suddenly surged by hundreds, thousands of times. The earth and sky were filled with countless specks of soil, droplets of water, and pieces of metal, all suspended in the air, orbiting endlessly in the magnetic field, where the force in any given spot could easily penetrate a Golden Pill Monk.

A terrifying pressure was born between Heaven and Earth.

All cultivators, all Heavenly Monarchs, felt a chill in their hearts.

”The Primordial Magnetism Path of the Eastern Devil School...”

Xi Ping’an’s heart trembled.

He recognized at a glance the style of Sword Pavilion’s arch-enemy; the Cultivation Method had changed over thousands of years, but the principle remained the same.

”Fellow Daoists, especially the very impolite Ice Origin Fellow Daoist,”

”Behold my sword!”

Jiang Ding looked towards Ice Field Heavenly Monarch and swung his sword.

Boom!

A magnetic domain over a thousand kilometers in size exploded with numerous electromagnetic phantom coils, forming a towering electromagnetic cannon rail with distinct yin and yang polarities.

Moreover, it activated the Yin Yang Magnetic Extreme Divine Light that had fused with the Taiqing Flying Sword, turning into a dazzling and bright sword-light.

Within the endless magnetic fields and flashing electric currents of Heaven and Earth, the Taiqing Flying Sword split into three and disappeared from sight.

”Mongrel!”

Ice Field Heavenly Monarch’s heart chilled, and she cursed angrily.

She felt palpably that this strike was at least several times stronger than before, instantly turning the stalemate on the battlefield into a brutal and vicious fight for survival.

The electromagnetic sword-light arrived in an instant, invisible yet piercingly cold, its aura and pressure overwhelming, frigid and grim.

Ice Field Heavenly Monarch’s Divine Soul trembled in terror.

This sword strike, if not withstood, would mean death!

”Kill!”

Ice Field Heavenly Monarch let out a piercing scream.

Her entire body’s mana surged into the beautiful ice crystal phoenix crown above her head, making it suddenly burst with intense light, with the radiance of the thousand-mile ice and snow domain converging upon it.

All was transformed into a continuously spiraling whirl of ice and snow light, shining toward the sword-light that had just been barely identified underneath the life-and-death stakes.

Ice Heaven Ice Soul Divine Light!

This was the core innate divine ability of the Ice Phoenix Clan, which claimed that under the illumination of the divine light, heaven, earth, all things, time, and space would all freeze, the Cosmic Star River would stagnate, everything tangible and intangible would solidify, never to awake again, turning into lifeless ice sculptures.

It was said that the custom of the Ice Phoenix Clan was to freeze their mortal enemies with the Ice Heaven Ice Soul Divine Light and to display them within their nests as decorations, showcasing their grand achievements.

The more powerful the Ice Phoenix, the more ice sculptures in its nest, and those trapped within, their divine souls would never find salvation, not in any lifetime.

”Die!”

Ice Field Heavenly Monarch’s gaze was firmly locked onto a point in the void.

The ice crystal phoenix crown atop her head emitted a faint icy white light, a brief flash.

Crack!

With one sweep of the Ice Heaven Ice Soul Divine Light, a terrifying change occurred instantly.

Centred on the point observed by the Ice Field Heavenly Monarch’s phoenix eyes, within dozens of kilometers, the sound of the wind, clouds, sword qi, sword intent, and golden threads of cause and effect all underwent some dreadful coagulation and freezing, rendered utterly immobile.

Even at the microscopic particle level, the movement of particles had been greatly reduced, almost to a halt.

Everything was frozen!

In the end, there appeared a lump of ice made of age-old mysterious ice, freezing an area of dozens of kilometers, which bore an uncanny resemblance to the towering peaks of the Great Snow Mountain Sacred Land.

”How could it…”

Ice Field Heavenly Monarch stared intently at the center of the dozens of kilometers wide lump of ice.

At the deepest core of the age-old mysterious ice, a faint blue sword shadow slowly materialized, gradually taking on a flowing luminescence, no longer formless and insubstantial.

”It’s done…”

Ice Field Heavenly Monarch’s lips curled into a smile.

Ice Heaven Ice Soul Divine Light, in the memories of generations of Ice Phoenixes, had always been dodged, shielded against, never finding the target of its assault.

There had never been anyone, or any treasure, that had been frozen and still managed to escape.

Never!

Once illuminated by it, one would be fated to die, becoming yet another collection within the nests of the Ice Phoenixes, another standing ice sculpture, symbolizing the grand accomplishments of generations of Ice Phoenixes.

”Ha ha ha!”

”Tushan, you mangy cur…”

Ice Field Heavenly Monarch laughed maniacally, wild with laughter, her elation freeing her from the immense pressure, she danced with joy.

Then, her expression froze.

Crack!

A fissure appeared in the lump of ice, at the most central, the most solid position.

Crack crack…

The cracks in the ice quickly spread, instantly covering the entire lump of ice, forming a dense network of fissures.

Boom!

The lump of ice exploded with a bang, a deep azure light mixed with golden threads, alongside a storm of electromagnetic forces, violently surged forth, imbued with the clear intention of the Great Sun Destroying Sword Intent!

”Impossible!”

Ice Field Heavenly Monarch roared.

This defied the common sense found within the memories of the Ice Phoenix bloodline across generations!

Yet, the chilling sword-light did not slow because of her words, arriving in an instant.

”No!”

Ice Field Heavenly Monarch yelled, in a life-and-death moment, she frantically flapped her wings, barely shifting aside by a step.

Whoosh!

The Taiqing Flying Sword passed straight through her wingspan and disappeared without a trace.

Ice Field Heavenly Monarch felt only a slight chill in her left wing.

”Ah!”

She screamed in pain incessantly.

Upon closer inspection, along with the heart-piercing pain, one beautifully ice crystal wing slowly detached from her shoulder, cleanly severed at shoulder height, and blood mixed with the colors of ice and crystal fell towards the ground.
