Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Within the sky, six light rings ripple in succession; around them, the rules of Six Paths Order swirl. A Bluegold Flying Sword is born in the hazy Sword Dao World, radiantly unmatched, becoming the heart of heaven and earth, with one sword strike following another.

Beneath the blade stands the grand army of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan, commanded by Netherworld Ancient Prince!

Many within the Horned Ming Realm, even the weakest Horned Demon Imperial Clan soldier-cultivators, rule large or small territories in certain Minor Thousand Worlds. With but a thought, they can determine the life and death of tens of thousands from the Slave Clan. They are like gods in the eyes of many Slave Race Cultivators, supreme and venerable masters who dare not even look them in the eye for their entire lives.

And now, there are nine million of such revered masters!

Nine million elite Horned Demon Imperial Clan warriors, wielding countless ancient and vicissitudinous banners, spears, war drums, battle chariots and other heavy weapons passed down through army formations, form the ancient inherited True Martial Great Power Demon Refining Army Formation with their natural racial talent for military formations. Its power is terrifying; dense Power Order arises within the formation, far surpassing the might it had tens of thousands of years ago when it eradicated the Skull Blood Vine Demon Clan.

Under the governance of successive Jiaoming Emperors, there have never been any great disturbances in the Horned Ming Realm, with all wars having their limits.

After so many years of development, despite the drastic decline in proliferation and difficulty in childbirth after losing the ’Mother Ant Queen,’ the Horned Demon Imperial Clan has still recovered to a population of over a hundred million, ten times that of tens of thousands of years ago.

The power of the formation they composed has also increased tenfold!

Many from the Horned Demon Emperor Clan have therefore become extremely proud, believing they can sweep through all directions and be invincible in the world.

Until this moment!

A Flying Sword descends from the heavens, collapsing the void, surrounded by countless orders.

After a long tangle, the Blue Gold Great Sun ringed by Six Paths Order finally finds the perfect opportunity, charging into a flaw in the Power Order Rune and exploding with a bang, shattering countless Power Orders, the sword striking the end of the Heavenly Giant Axe.

Boom!

Countless fragments of Spiritual Light, the Netherworld Ancient Prince’s transformation under the Star River magic giant powered by nine million Army Formation Order, is repelled by a single sword strike and crashes down on the void like a meteor, its limbs shattered, its spiritual light dimmed, and thousands of kilometers of surrounding void collapsing into dust.

The Taiqing Flying Sword lets out a cheerful sword cry and returns on its path.

”You’ve gotten a bit weak,”

Jiang Ding watches the retreating Bluegold Flying Sword and the unchanging six circles of Order ripples on its body, quietly speaking: ”Netherworld, your use of the Power of Order is too rough, like coarse wood.”

”No, perhaps it’s not just you.

”It’s that your entire race lacks such a foundation; both you and your clan’s Great Emperor use the Rule Power crudely and simply, incapable of threatening those of the same level.”

”Horned Demon Imperial Clan, your foundation... is very superficial…”

Jiang Ding mutters to himself, quickly deducing something amidst the battle.

Do not be fooled by the mere ten thousand-year history of the Xianmen Sect, for it seamlessly inherits countless achievements of human Immortal Tao Civilization since ancient times, without any physical or Divine Soul barriers, separation, or mismatch.

Even a simple Cultivation Method from a Qi Practitioner, a common Magic known by everyone, has been passed down through who knows how many years and may already be the most perfect structure of magic after a million years.

Not to mention, the Human Race’s ability to innovate on its own heritage far exceeds that of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan by an unknown factor.

This ability may not be conspicuous nor as intuitive as the various natural physical and Divine Soul talents of the Demon Race, which can immediately bestow greater power upon a Cultivator, but on a vast time scale, it becomes utterly terrifying.

The title of Sovereign Overlords of the Endless Starry Sky arises from this.

I have nothing, and thus I possess the whole world!

”Arrogant!”

”Merely an ant at the peak of general level, how can you speak of our clan’s foundation, you frog in a well!”

Crushed within the void, his limbs shattered in countless pieces, but the Netherworld Ancient Prince recovers instantly under the Horned Demon Imperial Clan’s formidable immortal body talent. He stands up, supporting himself with the Heavenly Giant Axe, and roars.

”Sword Cultivator, fragile as paper.”

”Formation, divide!”

Netherworld Ancient Prince slams the starry void with the Cangtian Great Axe, dispersing numerous Power Order Runes, which fall upon the Cangyan Ancient Emperor’s Son, Ancient Emperor Tianyou, Black Soul Ancient Emperor’s Son, and other eight major Ancient Imperial Sons.

These Power Order Runes seem scattered, but in fact, the power of the Army Formation is rapidly climbing.

True Martial Great Power Demon Refining Army Formation!

This formation, inherited from ancient bloodlines, allows its control to rest in the hands of one or to be dispersed among many Ancient Imperial Sons depending on the main formation operator’s ability and will.

Before this, Netherworld Ancient Prince clearly hadn’t fully exploited the Formation Method’s capabilities, yet he was still reluctant to give up his authority.

Until this moment, having failed in direct battle, he chose to relinquish power, placing complete trust in the other Ancient Imperial Sons.

”Roar!”

”Roar roar...”

Once the power of Power Order enveloped them, the Ancient Emperor Cangyan’s Son and the others revealed ecstatic expressions, their bodies inflating like balloons, swiftly transforming into colossi of demonic gods a thousand feet tall, with Power Order Runes flickering into existence and then dying off on their dark, scaly armor, releasing a terrifying presence.

Power of Power Order!

Under the grand formation, all nine Ancient Imperial Sons had grasped the Power of Order!

Thud thud thud...

”Roar”

”Kill! Kill!”

The ancestral blood drums resonated, led by the Netherworld Ancient Prince with the Ancient Emperor Cangyan’s Son following suit. The nine Ancient Imperial Sons commanded their armies to attack from nine different directions. Despite the great distances, their auras merged into one, forming an exceedingly fearsome force.

Nine columns of smoke, nine colossi of demonic gods a thousand feet tall, converged in an encirclement from all sides without regards to front or rear positions.

Attacking any single direction alone, one’s true body could potentially be shattered by the armies from the other directions.

For some reason, the Horned Demon Imperial Clan Cultivators instinctively knew how to deal with Sword Cultivators through their bloodline instincts, understanding how to contend with a profession in the Human Race renowned for its extremely high lethality, high mobility, and exceedingly low defense, and adopted a classic strategy.

”Interesting.”

”Compared to your crude mastery over the Power of Order, this resolute fighting spirit is somewhat noteworthy.”

Jiang Ding surveyed his surroundings with a faint smile.

Clang!

He drew his sword.

Boom!

A Blue Gold Big Sun rose.

Six Order Light Rings expanded in all directions, wielding the terrifying suppressive might of the Power of Destruction Order, Forbidden Law, Destruction Order, Mutant Order, Primordial Magnet Order, and Sword Dao Order, pressing down upon the cosmic starry sky, causing meteorites and the Netherworld Gang Wind to freeze in place, halting their flow as their inherent rules were slightly affected.

Beside the Blue Gold Big Sun, the misty illusion of the Sword Dao World emerged.

This was an illusion brought on by being on the cusp of the Fifth Realm of Sword Dao, the Sword Realm, signifying a certain limit in swordsmanship.

At this moment, accompanied by the hazy light, a Great Sun flickered into existence next to the Blue Gold Big Sun, followed by another flicker, another Great Sun... the light flickered nine times in total.

In the sky, nine Blue Gold Big Suns appeared.

This is the Second Realm of Sword Dao, Sword-light Diversification!

Although it is the Second Realm of Sword Dao, it does not signify weakness, for this is a technique of swordsmanship. The swords diversified from Sword-light possess the full might of Sword Qi Thunder Sound and Indestructibility, the culmination of countless generations of Sword Cultivators’ efforts and blood.

At this instant, nine Great Suns dominate the sky!

The suns interweave with blue and gold Array Patterns and Runes, instantly forming a colossal array spanning thousands of kilometers, blazing with Primordial Magnetism and Great Sunlight, where the terrifying Power of Order comes forth.

Solar Flare Magnetic Array!

”Army Formation, is it something so difficult?”

Jiang Ding said indifferently.

Boom!

Between heaven and earth, the light shines brilliantly.

Nine Great Suns sway majestically in the sky, like the nine golden crows of ancient myths frolicking in the heavens, unfurling boundless destructive aura, dragging meteor-like splendid tails, and bombarding the armies commanded by the nine great Ancient Imperial Sons of the Horned Demon Emperor Clan.
