Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

”What do you mean by whether it’s necessary or not?”

```

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch was somewhat bewildered.

```

”Just this...”

```

Jiang Ding pointed to the countless fleets orbiting the Xianmen Sect, and to the Xianmen Sect that had already entered full-scale war mobilization.

```

”This!”

```

”What are you thinking, boy!”

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch suddenly realized and slapped Jiang Ding on the forehead: ”This is a protective measure to respond to Senior Yuan, the Eight Great Immortal Sects’ Great Experts are very likely unwilling to allow Xianmen Sect to birth a Refining Void Stage practitioner. Despite facing the threat of the Horned Ming Realm, who knows when one of those old fogeys will get hotheaded and come to kill us in a joint attack, crushing the hopes of Xianmen Sect’s transcendence.”

”This possibility cannot be ignored.”

”These old fogeys are all despicable, shameless, and extraordinarily cunning; we absolutely cannot relax our guard against them and must remain vigilant at all times.”

”In theory, even if the newly emerged Xianmen Sect Void Refining practitioner is slain by the Eight Great Immortal Sects, we would have to compromise for survival, after all, the Horned Demon Imperial Clan clearly isn’t a faction we can ally with.”

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch said.

”Under survival, all kinds of enmity must be temporarily set aside.”

”If we end up in such a predicament, having teeth knocked out and forced to swallow them, yet still having to wear a smile, that would be truly sad.”

”So that’s how it is!”

Jiang Ding suddenly understood.

”Wait, is it Senior Yuan who is advancing to Refining Void Stage?”

Jiang Ding immediately grasped the key point.

”It is him, his foundation is too profound, it has reached an uncontrollable extent.”

”As expected of Xianmen Sect’s Yuan!”

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch wore a proud expression.

The surrounding Heavenly Monarchs of the Xianmen Sect felt similarly, for Yuan was their mentor, their senior, having once taught them, and their emotional ties to him were no small matter.

’However, you must also not let your guard down.’

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch transmitted a private message to Jiang Ding, sighing: ’If Xianmen Sect births a Refining Void practitioner, if he wishes to, he could break us from within. The destruction caused by his single share of power could be greater than what ten or twenty shares of an Immortal Sect’s Great Powers could cause, and many Nascent Soul Immortals and Spirit Transformation Heavenly Monarchs might even be swayed.’

’Do not take it lightly just because it’s the initial birth of a Refining Void Cultivator.’

’The chances of that are quite small, right?’

Jiang Ding asked.

Yuan, he might be the person with the highest moral and ethical standards within the Xianmen Sect.

’Young lad,’

’I do not know.’

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch shook his head slightly: ’Moral and ethical standards consist of interests and the mental Realm of Cultivators, this you should understand.’

’In the past, the Peak Divine Transformation Cultivators of Xianmen Sect didn’t desire resources that much, as they had cultivated to their peak.’

’Compared to resources, the collective wisdom of Xianmen Sect in deducing the Void Refinement Technique was even more important.’

’However, after attaining Refining Void, it might be different. Xianmen Sect, in maintaining such a large establishment, might only be able to barely support a Refining Void Cultivator and unable to provide him with too many resources, which could slow down the cultivation process, unable to compete with Immortal Sect Cultivators of the same stage.’

’No, it’s basically far behind that of the Immortal Sect Cultivators of the same stage!’

’Immortal Sect Refining Void Practitioners, supported by an entire sect for one person, can receive resources tenfold, even dozens of times more than those of Xianmen Sect.’

’In such a case, will the Refining Void Cultivators of Xianmen Sect have other intentions? Will they be content?’

’We don’t know.’

’The foundation of moral integrity is made of interest and emotional ethics, like a person’s two legs, but now one leg is crippled, we do not know what the outcome will be.’

’Do you understand now?’

’Understood, senior.’

Jiang Ding felt a heavy burden in his heart.

”Ding!”

”Commander of the Great Sun Starfleet Special Corps, Jiang Ding, Sixth Order Combat Assistance System, is now activating for you...”

At this moment, a voice appeared in Jiang Ding’s Divine Soul.

Hum!

The immense Immortal Sect Army Formation spread across various orbits was now operational, channeling Array Patterns towards a green-clothed youth, surrounding him. The patterns spanned thousands of kilometers, resembling a colossal Formation Dao Assistance Rune Mecha.

”A Sixth Order Combat Assistance System?”

Jiang Ding sensed the Array Patterns in his Divine Soul, like data lines awaiting connection, and his face showed surprise.

”It was designed by Yuan Deng and the others.”

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch sighed softly, ”At the very least, at the pinnacle of their Divinity Transformation, they were still the leaders of the Xianmen Sect, the most steadfast and reliable cultivators of the Sect.”

”But even they could not be certain if their mindset would radically change after advancing to the Refining Nothingness stage.”

”This Sixth Order Combat Assistance System was designed for that reason. It can be deployed anywhere the Sixth Order Immortal Sect Army Formation exists, its purpose is to enhance your Divine Soul’s reaction speed, your Sword Intent’s response time, allowing for more precise targeting of Refining Void Stage enemies.”

”Give it a try, don’t let their efforts be in vain.”

There was an inexplicable melancholy in the voice of the Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch.

As cultivators ascend to higher and higher realms, their entire being begins to transform into something non-human, and many cultivators became increasingly alien to themselves.

”Hmm!”

Jiang Ding nodded firmly.

His Divine Sense and Sword Intent no longer hesitated. Following the Array Pattern cues in his Sea of Consciousness that resembled data lines, he made precise connections, completing the linkage of over ten million Divine Soul data lines.

Hum!

At the very moment when the connection was complete, Jiang Ding’s Divine Soul momentarily crashed.

After a short while, he gradually adjusted.

Looking around, he noticed that many things between heaven and earth had changed.

All people, all objects, became incredibly slow, even the light seemed to move more sluggishly; there were faint lines appearing amidst the cosmos, those were the laws of the Cosmic Starry Sky...

Jiang Ding was greatly shaken.

Instinctively, he wanted to draw his sword and make several moves, but found his body reacting like an old, worn machine. The order was given but took a long time to respond, and his hand slowly moved towards the hilt of the sword.

”This Sixth Order War Assistance System still has flaws, it cannot enhance your combat strength; your body and mana reactions are too slow to coordinate with it.”

The voice of Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch came through, as if crossing a vast distance, slowly pronouncing each word.

”This combat assistance system was originally intended for when you ascended to Refining Void or when you possessed the combat power of the Refining Void Stage, it’s still very imperfect now.”

”But if it’s just to lock onto the enemy, it can still easily achieve that.”

”Understood.”

Jiang Ding nodded and took some time to grow accustomed to this new state.

Supported by the Immortal Sect Army Formation, his responsiveness enhanced tenfold, incorporating abilities like stealth breaking and supercomputing. It seemed even the Great Emperor from the Horned Demon Imperial Clan appearing before him would no longer seem mysterious and aloof, ungraspable, but something that could be analyzed.

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch and other Immortal Sect Generals flew away from the Immortal Sect orbits, then dispersed into their own Starry Sky Fortresses, merging with the Sect’s Army Formations becoming one with them.

Jiang Ding himself also landed in the core area of the Immortal Sect Army Formation.

The Super Warship Great Sun Air-Space Mothership instantaneously deployed tens of thousands of unmanned Warships and Fighters, extending an array of Military Formation Runes, merging with the Immortal Sect Army Formation, joining into this collective, enhancing the collective while receiving the protection of this terrifying starry sky military formation, without distinction between you and me.

The Great Sun Unmanned Starry Sky Corps was instantly deployed.

Jiang Ding looked around.

Next to him were the Canghai Starry Sky Corp, Sun Extinguisher Starry Sky Corp, Pingyang Starry Sky Corp and other Immortal Sect troops, each composed of tens of thousands of Air-Space Motherships, Air-Space Warships, and Air-Space Fighters. They pledged allegiance to the Immortal Sect as one collective, not to any one Heavenly Monarch.

Space within tens of thousands of kilometers was filled with the Immortal Sect’s Steel Fleet.

Within the protection and surveillance of layers upon layers of Army Formations, a green-robed old man sat tranquilly in space.

That is, the governor of the Immortal Sect, Senior Yuan.

Jiang Ding held his breath.

The aura of the green-robed elder grew immense, mountainous and oceanic, far surpassing the limit of Divinity Transformation, and still strengthening.

At a certain moment.

Boom!

Amidst the Endless Starry Sky, countless dark Thunder Tribulation Clouds cascaded forward, emitting an aura that made even Divinity Transformation Cultivators tremble in fear. At such a moment, all living beings had blank minds, stripped of all senses.

Void Refining Thunder Tribulation arrived!
