Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Jiang Ding’s gaze landed on Mingguang Zi, filled with scrutiny.

The Sword Intent of Destruction from the Great Sun branched out, filling the Star River, scanning all directions, and easily saw through the poor achievements of Mingguang Zi in the Concealment Spell, revealing the truth and falsities.

”Nascent Soul Peak Realm.”

”Having completed a thousand years of slumber, and with the Sword Realm Space evolving to such prosperity, yet failing to birth the Power of Order, surpassing me by just a bit… only a bit, without the Mysterious Yellow Primordial Qi, unable to wield a Minor Thousand World in the growth process, and even more so, without the battles of Dao Child Level... Such all-in-all, even after a thousand years of slumber, is useless.”

”Divine Soul and Divine Sense… much weaker than mine.”

”Mana, stronger than mine by half a step.”

”Flying Sword, far inferior to mine, only just reaching the threshold of quasi-emperor-level weapons.”

”To put it all together, ignoring personal performance, your strength is much inferior to mine.”

Jiang Ding muttered to himself, his expression somewhat disappointed.

Stunted growth, is just stunted growth.

One has an entire Domain Overlord as a backup, and the other has nothing; even if the Storage Treasures contain the last legacy of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, it’s all in vain.

Mingguang Zi remained silent.

This was the truth.

To the extent that facing a Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch, he couldn’t kill, and ended up sealed for a thousand years.

”What is your name?”

Mingguang Zi asked the same.

”Jiang Ding.”

”Jiang Dingzi,”

Mingguang Zi sighed: ”Just now, when I was about to meet you, I planned to give you the complete Great Sun inheritance I possessed, and then have a life and death battle.”

”The winner lives, the loser dies.”

”That’s the pride that every generation of Dari Swordsmen should have, confident that they are invincible at the same level under heaven and earth.”

”And now?”

Jiang Ding smiled slightly.

He didn’t feel a bit of loss.

The Dao, should always be relied upon at self-research and capture, it should never be pinned on the opponent’s mercy.

”Now?”

”That confidence is no longer there.”

Mingguang Zi smiled bitterly: ”One is just an impoverished Loose Cultivator, the other is a Dao Child painstakingly nurtured by a Domain Overlord; this is not fair to me, I shouldn’t have such pride.”

”So, the advantages that belong to me can’t be lost anymore.”

”Unless our strengths are close, on that day, I will give you all the inheritance.”

”What do you mean?”

”You’re going to run?”

Jiang Ding’s face darkened, a bad premonition arising in his heart: ”Won’t your Sword Heart be damaged?”

”Damaged?”

”Why should it be damaged?”

Mingguang Zi smiled breezily: ”The Dari Swordsmen of the Sword Pavilion often run when they encounter enemies; they will run if they can’t win, only engaging in battles that could break through themselves, not courting death.”

”If a pure blood True Phoenix of the same level came for you, would you not run?”

”I am but an impoverished Loose Cultivator, why wouldn’t I run?”

”Hahaha...”

Mingguang Zi laughed loudly.

His body merged with the sword, turning into a bright and dazzling Great Sun, with the unique scorching heat and destructive aura of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, madly fleeing deep into the Domain Starry Sky, an instant ten thousand miles.

He was crazy.

The Dead Silent Starry Sky is no good place; without a Minor Thousand World to land on, a Nascent Soul Cultivator would have no doubt perish.

”Run?”

Jiang Ding’s expression was calm.

Clang!

He drew his sword.

Boom!

A dazzling and incomparably bright Great Sun burst forth in the starry sky, with brightness illuminating the multifarious Star Rivers, harboring destruction, Forbidden Laws, mutants, devastation, and enveloping all sides in terrifying heat.

The green-clothed youth’s body fused with the brilliant Great Sun, allowing the sword-light’s power to surge several times, pressing down towards the Great Sun frantically fleeing towards the horizon!

They completely ignored the Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch.

Two Great Suns chasing each other through the starry sky, one after the other.

Both were so incredibly fast, almost comparable to the speed of light, even in the eyes of Nascent Soul Cultivators they were but two shining lights, their specifics unclear, not even the Divine Sense of a Spirit Transformation Heavenly Monarch could do.

However,

Even amongst lights, there is a difference between the glow of the full moon and a grain of rice.

Any being with eyes could see the previous Great Sun was fast, surpassing the Nascent Soul Peak Cultivator by who knows how much, already beyond the imagination of many Spirit Transformation Heavenly Monarchs.

But the Great Sun trailing behind, carrying destruction and mutation, was even faster!

In an instant, the two Great Suns converged, collided, almost overlapping into a single sun, akin to a solar flare, the ultimate brightness illuminating the universe.

Boom!

It was not a sound transmitted by physical soundwaves, but a collision between two different Great Suns, the will of destruction heard by all beings, the terrifying explosion occurring in the Divine Soul.

Even the billions of beings in the Tu Shan Central Courtyard Cultivation World could clearly see the two progressing Great Suns, in pursuit and in explosion.

In the Dead Silent Starry Sky, after a moment of standoff, it ended with the retreat of a pure destructive Great Sun.

The brilliant light dimmed slightly.

Mingguang Zi’s complexion turned pale as he was thrown back, almost unable to withstand a direct hit.

Divine Soul, Flying Sword, Divine Sense, Sword Intent, Swordsmanship... stacking up various advantages, the strength of the Dari Swordsman in front of him almost exceeded one level of his own.

”Mingguang Zi.”

”Your abilities in escape and Concealment are extremely poor, even with equal strength, you cannot escape me.”

Jiang Ding mocked.

”Bullshit!”

”What’s there for you, a dwarf, to be proud of?”

Mingguang Zi was a bit angry: ”In your Flying Sword, at least the Life Treasures of three Dao Children are integrated, one of which is definitely the Life Treasure of the Shadow Demon Abyss Daozi!”

”How could the two of us be the same?!!”

”Dwarf?”

Jiang Ding’s smile faded, his tone ice cold.

”It turns out you’re unaware of the length of life this Lord has as a Refining Void Life, no, as a True Immortal-level life whelp.”

Buzz!

In the starry sky, the space undulated like waves, rolling, bursting outward with a strong and terrifying aura.

”This is...”

Mingguang Zi’s expression changed abruptly.

In the roiling space, a silvery-white Star Sky Mother Ship, over thirty kilometers in size, surfaced from the deep space layers. One by one, Air-Space Battleships and Air-Space Warplanes spread out in all directions, while swarms of Dyson Sword-type Drones dispersed outward.

The Great Sun unmanned Starry Sky Special Corps!

Among them, there were a total of 17,496 various warships and fighters, and 36,000 Dyson Mirror Drones!

The densely packed various warships and fighters covered ten thousand miles of the starry sky, with chaotic and hazy Military Formation Runes interweaving as if a starry sky deity was awakening, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.

Domain Overlord,

with the strongest army formation of the Domain Overlords!

A major move right from the start!

This exiled Swordsman from the Great Sun Sword Pavilion was accorded the highest level of respect.

”How could this...”

Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch’s gaze began to show fear, no longer regarding the subsequent Dari Swordsmen as adversaries of the same rank.

”Damn dwarf!”

”Do you still have any self-respect as a Sword Cultivator?”

Mingguang Zi felt despair deep in his heart and cursed aloud: ”Sword Cultivators engage in combat, how could you use the fleets of the Eastern Devil School? How has your Sword Heart not shattered yet?”

”Do you have no shame?”

His Divine Soul was highly sensitive.

Within the terrifying army formation of the Eastern Devil School, he faintly discerned the presence of the Power of Order.

Power of Order!

This is the force of the Refining Void Stage, Emperor Level!

Apart from Zhong Guangzi, in his final moments, which Swordsman of all the generations of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion could withstand such power?

”This is but a scabbard.”

”Mingguang Zi, Great Sun Swordsmanship, how much do you actually understand?”

Jiang Ding’s face bore a gentle smile.

Drawing his sword.

Boom!

The moment Jiang Ding drew his sword, the muzzles of countless Air-Space Warships and Fighters roared, launching brilliant sunbeams that twinkled with dazzling splendor. Instead of blasting outwards, the myriad of dazzling lights all converged within the Taiqing Flying Sword, instantly forming a solar flare that outshone even the Great Sun itself.

Under that solar flare, the cosmic star rivers suddenly dimmed, even the celestial stars faded, all their light devoured.

”Mingguang Zi, take my sword strike.”

Jiang Ding roared.

The Steel Fleet’s military formation operated, and numerous sunbeams converged, encircling the sword body in endless rotation, constantly narrowing down, forming a solar destroying flare that outshone even the sun, locking on to the exiled Swordsman from the Great Sun Sword Pavilion with wild destructive intentions and blasting towards him.

At this moment, there was no longer any space to flee.

For this was a solar flare, akin to the existence of the Power of Order!

”Kill!”

At this critical juncture, Mingguang Zi bellowed.

He burned his Essence Blood and Divine Soul, gathering them into strands of scintillating Sword Light, like real rays of the sun as if a Sun Star Monarch had descended to wield threads of light.

A myriad of straight rays of the sun gathered, arrayed neatly to form a Sword of the Sun.

The Infinite Light Sword!

This sword was the pinnacle of Mingguang Zi’s two-thousand years of cultivation, nearly touching the Power of Order, and even in the Perishing Immortal Realm, it was one of the top Divinity Transformation Swordsmanship techniques, reaching the extreme in the path of Swordsmanship.

This Sword of the Sun, arriving swiftly, reached the solar flare, carrying an endless aura of destruction, intending to penetrate through the solar flare formed by the primary cannons of the countless Starry Sky Fleet’s and annihilate it.

The two forces truly made contact.

Sizzle...

A soft sound, and a wisp of light blue smoke.

The Sword of the Sun which the Infinite Light Sword had slashed out, upon touching the solar flare, melted silently, unable to withstand a single blow, not even able to cause the solar flare to deviate from its path, only some ripples appeared.

Then, there was nothing.

The solar flare represented Emperor Level power!

Below Emperor Level, no matter how elite and unbeatable in Divinity Transformation, without possessing an equivalent power, one is simply an easy target!

Clang!

A dimly glowing Taiqing Flying Sword, full of cracks, flew apart.

”Pfft!”

Mingguang Zi spat out blood and retreated rapidly, his skin and skull almost cracking, recoiling under the terror of the force.

However, the Taiqing Flying Sword, gathering the force of the Starry Sky Fleet’s main cannons and carrying the power of the solar flare, showed no signs of slowing, its speed surged once more, enveloping Mingguang Zi.

”No...”

Mingguang Zi showed a hint of despair.

He had many ace cards left on him.

For instance, the Sword Pavilion Envoy, the token of the Last Great Sun Sword Master Xi Yuan, and several Refining Void Stage Talismans accumulated in the Sword Pavilion, all inherited from the generations of Sword Masters, even a Refining Void Cultivator pursuing him in person might not be able to slay him – his ace cards were too profound.

However!

These Sword Talismans, these ace cards, all shared a common trait – they would not partake in the sacred blood duels of the Great Sun Swordsmen!

Let alone facing another Great Sun Swordsman, even against Nascent Soul Stage, Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators, these Sword Talismans could not be used.

The Great Sun Sword Pavilion’s expectations for the weaker Great Sun Swordsmen were –

to speed them to their death quickest!

”Mingguang Zi, the exiled Swordsman from the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, you’ve stolen my complete Great Sun inheritance for too long...”

Jiang Ding murmured.

Suddenly, his expression turned furious.

”Xi Ping’an!”

”You are courting death!”

Jiang Ding suddenly erupted in rage.

Boom!

The power of the Sword Realm’s main cannons, gathered in the Taiqing Flying Sword and forming the Sword of the Solar Flare, slashed down on Mingguang Zi, but failed to reduce him to ashes or ruin his Divine Soul.

All of a sudden, beneath the Sword of the Solar Flare, a brightly shining Incense Fire Divine Court emerged.

The Sword of the Solar Flare slashed down, carving out a large pit in the Divine Court.

But it remained intact, unable to be split open.

Because this was a Refining Void Stage Incense Fire fortress!

A Refining Void Stage Incense Fire Divine Court created in imitation of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond given to Xi Ping’an by his father, the last Great Sun Sword Master, to save his life!

”Swordsman...”

Within the Incense Fire Divine Court, Xi Ping’an showed an expression of lament.

He knew he had offended the most powerful Great Sun Swordsman once again.

But there was no helping it, as Mingguang Zi was the kindest Swordsman he had ever known to him; he couldn’t let him die – otherwise, he would have no idea whom to rely on in the future.

Whoosh!

Two beams of light burst forth from within the Incense Fire Divine Court, enveloping Mingguang Zi and Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch, then fled rapidly, disappearing into the starry sky in an instant, escaping from the raging Great Sun Swordsman, Jiang Dingzi.
