Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Cangkong Imperial Child descended upon the eastern part of the Flame Stone Star Domain in the Magic Vine Minor Realm, starting to persuade rebels to surrender and allocated a portion of Imperial Clan Guards to form a genuine Imperial Clan Army.

The Horned Demon Imperial Clan, this is a race born for war.

This race has no weak points, whether in the strength of an individual or that of a grand army.

Many years ago, when first encountering them in the Yin and Yang Void, Heavenly Calculator Daoist was shocked by the standard of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan’s Army Formation, which generally exceeded that of the Immortal Sects, causing disquiet.

Of course, this was also related to the fact that Immortal Sects did not prioritize Army Formation and did not devote their most precious resources to nurturing cultivators in Army Formation.

The core of Immortal Sects has always been Taoist disciples and Great Experts.

The actions of Cangkong Imperial Child immediately sparked an intense reaction from Yanliu Imperial Child of the Flame Stone Family.

He issued an edict, which set more than ten Minor Thousand Worlds throughout the Flame Stone Star Domain into agitation.

Horned Demon Imperial Clan Cultivators from various places gathered to form armies, with kings and high-ranking warriors of the Flame Stone Family becoming generals of various levels, while kings of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan who were outside of the Flame Stone Family likewise received important positions, taking control of the large Slave Clan armies in various locations.

Under strict orders, the Slave Clan armies gathered and moved towards teleportation formations in various Minor Thousand Worlds, transferring towards the Magical Stone Minor Realm.

In more than ten Minor Thousand Worlds, countless cultivators gathered together, and all existing beings above Foundation Establishment had to heed the call to arms, or else they faced annihilation.

So was the case with the Skull Blood Vine Demon Clan where Jiang Ding was covertly residing.

Under the icy surveillance of the Magic Stone Clan Cultivators, the leader of the Skull Blood Vine Demon Clan mustered tens of thousands of elites and rushed to the battlefield, skeletons laced with green vines and dragging tendrils joining with passing cultivators from the Turtle Race, Human Cultivators, and those of other races.

An immense and overwhelming presence of a grand Army Formation emerged in the world.

Jiang Ding had already left the leader of the Skull Blood Vine Demon Clan, now residing within a lesser demon’s Divine Soul, observing the cultivators of various races coming and going, assessing the war mobilization potential of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan.

”Very efficient.”

”All layers of power have been mobilized, with virtually no oversights.”

Jiang Ding pondered for a moment and was slightly surprised.

In his view, the political system of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan was crude, a backward and primitive appearance of a feudal Clan System with no notable achievements in institutional building.

Yet such a system was able to mobilize the entire society, the whole world’s powers.

In this way, even if the Horned Demon Imperial Clan was at a disadvantage in external warfare, there would be no internal chaos; because before the power of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan was depleted, the power of the Slave Clan armies would already be consumed, ensuring that the situation would remain as stable as Mount Tai.

”Tremendous Divine Soul Computational Power.”

”With Magic Stone Clan’s meticulous control assistance, and their loyalty ensured by stringent Spirit Soul Restrictions, such layers of control...”

Jiang Ding quickly understood the reason.

The crude political system of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan was an undeniable fact.

But they possessed might, not only brute martial power but also substantial Divine Soul Computational Power. Even if their tool, the system, was crude, ”where power is great, bricks fly,” they could still exhibit highly efficient administrative capabilities.

Or rather, the crudity of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan’s political system was entirely due to their formidable power and Divine Soul Computational Power.

It was sufficient.

Political systems evolving to this point were already adequate, they would not drag their feet in Domain skirmishes.

With that being the case, why then develop a new political system?

Bear in mind, politics is connected to interests, and any change comes with bloodshed and slaughter, with the replacement and purging of the old benefactors being extremely difficult every step of the way.

The more powerful the race or force, the harder it is for them to change.

Because resistance comes from within, and the more formidable the race, the stronger the conservative forces are, hindering any possibility of change.

”In this aspect, the Horned Demon Imperial Clan has no weaknesses.”

Jiang Ding felt a slight regret, crossing off a possibility.

He also had corresponding speculations about the intentions of Emperor Yanliu from the movements of these surging Slave Clan armies.

It was nothing more than taking advantage of Cangkong Imperial Child’s unstable foothold to muster a grand Horned Demon Imperial Clan army as well as a number of Slave Clan armies that surpassed them by dozens of times over, to strangle Cangkong Imperial Child’s power in its cradle.

```

The three thousand Imperial Guards of Cangkong Imperial Child are indeed powerful, possessing many kings.

However, for the Horned Demon Imperial Clan, known for dominating domains with their Army Formations, a vast number of people, the tribe’s own army, and the Slave Clan’s army likewise possess the power of king tier.

Yanliu Imperial Child could muster millions of troops to besiege the Magic Vine Minor Realm, and it might be possible to encircle and kill Cangkong Imperial Child to death in one fell swoop.

Yes, to death.

In the tradition of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan, once one enters the struggle for the imperial crown, in the end, only one side can survive, and the strongest imperial child of the defeated side must die.

This is tradition.

However, we also need to see that the once sacred tradition of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan is beginning to see rare exceptions in this era; it’s not necessarily always going to end this way.

”War, must proceed according to the results we need.”

Jiang Ding muttered to himself.

He gazed into the distance, seemingly seeing the Magic Vine Minor Realm where Cangkong Imperial Child was raising an army, the very place that was destined to erupt in imperial child slaughter.

He did not know when he had dispatched a strand of his Divine Soul into the Soul Void Realm.

”... We will do our best.”

Nine hazy figures stood in the Soul Void Realm, and it seemed as if someone furrowed their brows, extremely displeased with this almost commanding tone.

However, in the end, they responded.

”I have successfully taken control of a Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Horned Demon Imperial Clan, one of their kings, who can influence the development of the local battlefield at a critical time.”

Shadow Demon Daoist said.

”I can influence a king of the Slave Clan.”

”I can influence a king from the Flame Stone Family...”

”Cangkong Imperial Child’s Imperial Guards are currently being eroded, time is needed...”

Under the gaze of Jiang Ding, the various Daoist disciples had no choice but to respond.

”Oh?”

Jiang Ding was surprised.

It’s been only a few decades, yet these previously unfamiliar Daoist disciples have now fully adapted to a life in hiding, and have all achieved results that are astonishing.

Daoist disciples, if they fully commit to doing something, rarely fail.

”We can only indirectly influence.”

”If some major event happens, or if the situation on one side suddenly becomes unbalanced, we are helpless.”

”Because we cannot show any strength or tactics beyond those of our undercover identities, even if it means failure this time.”

”Furthermore, when we take action, we must have a suitable, explainable motive, the limitations are great.”

Heavenly Calculator Daoist spoke in a deep voice.

They must act in the shadows, cannot show the slightest exposure under the sunlight, and must be more loyal than the most loyal Horned Demon Imperial Clan Cultivator on a regular basis.

If the trend of events overwhelms them, all evil spirits and demons will vanish like smoke and clouds.

”Who isn’t like this?”

”Just do our best.”

Jiang Ding shook his head slightly: ”Our goal is to deplete the kings of both sides from the Horned Demon Imperial Clan to the greatest extent, to bring one of the sides in the imperial child battle to despair, and then give them hope, so they further delegate power to the kings under our control, and unfamiliar kings, further disrupting the Divinity Transformation powers, making all disputes and chaos sufficiently justified.”

”In the end, provide us with sufficient reason to access the various Spiritual Veins.”

”Understood.”

The nine Daoist disciples slowly vanished into thin air.
