Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1342: Chapter 1310: Harmonization Level Array Spirit Computer

The realm of swordsmanship above the Sword Realm, the Sixth Realm of Sword Dao.

It is called Sword Spirit!

During the Huashen Heavenly Tribulation, Jiang Ding did not fully understand the swordsmanship of the Heavenly Sword Sword Son; he only felt it was shrouded in mystery, far beyond his own comprehension, though the specifics were unclear.

Now, after thousands of years of cultivation and accumulation, he finally understood.

At that time, the swordsmanship of the Upper Realm’s Heavenly Sword Sword Son must have just broken through to the Sixth Realm of Sword Dao—the Sword Spirit Realm!

At this realm, when a Sword Cultivator executes a strike, the Sword Intent forms the foundation, accompanied by Sword-light Diversification, Thunderous Sound, Immortality, and beyond the boundaries of the Sword Realm, a new entity is born.

The Spirit of Swordsmanship!

With one strike, swordsmanship generates a spirit autonomously, assisting the Sword Master in manipulating Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi and the order of Tao Rules, causing a near-quantum leap in the Sword Cultivator’s power.

For the Heavenly Sword Sword Son to master such swordsmanship the moment he broke through to the Divinity Transformation Stage, it was truly terrifying.

This is what it means to be born superior, to possess a stronger lineage, greater inheritance, and even superior learning capacity. With no shortcomings at all, dominating in both software and hardware to an overwhelming degree—it left one in despair.

“This is good,”

“The faint hope for ascension to True Immortal is indeed so beautiful!”

Heat surged in Jiang Ding’s eyes.

A Sword Son from the Upper Realm with Near Immortal-level backing undoubtedly possesses a faint yet tangible hope for ascension—a possibility, however minuscule, that truly exists.

And the Sword Cultivator who slays such a Sword Son must also possess such hope!

“However, I suddenly find myself deeply intrigued by the Sword Escape Skill…”

Unconsciously, Jiang Ding’s thoughts drifted to the Sword Escape Skill he had been refining and planning for over a thousand years.

A lower-ranked escape technique inherited from one of the Eight Great Immortal Sects surfaced in his mind.

The Nascent Soul-level inheritance of Xuanwu tiangong—the Golden Winged Great Peng Sky Breaking Escape.

The origin of this inheritance lies in the Kalavinka’s Wing Secret Technique of Xuanwu tiangong, from which the lower-level Gold Formation Technique escape method was derived.

Such occurrences were extremely common both within the Immortal Sect and the Xianmen Sect.

A single supreme cultivation method could branch into tens of thousands of techniques and magic, allowing disciples to progress step by step through cultivation. They ultimately reached the pinnacle without needing to confront the highest levels of difficulty from the start, thus significantly lowering the learning threshold and increasing success rates.

At this moment, in a state of sudden enlightenment, Jiang Ding developed an intuitive insight. This seemingly ordinary Gold Formation Escape technique, the Golden Winged Great Peng Sky Breaking Escape, possessed immense potential and could serve as a reference for his Golden Karma Sword Escape Skill.

Countless inspirations emerged in Jiang Ding’s mind, rapidly completing the framework of this Sword Escape Skill.

…

Three hundred years.

The Heaven-Covering Banyan spent three hundred years gathering Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi and the essence of the sun and moon, only then amassing sufficient energy to complete its ultimate leap.

In a particular moment, under the anxious scrutiny of hundreds of millions of Immortal Sect citizens, something suddenly appeared within the Heavenly Dao.

Destiny Rules.

The Destiny Rules, belonging to the Central Array Spirit Computer—the supreme treasure of the Xianmen Sect—were inscribed into the Heavenly Dao, profoundly impacting the operation of the Heavenly Dao Law Net.

At this moment, within the Heavenly Dao of the Horned Ming Realm, the factors of the Central Array Spirit Computer came into play, altering all things in heaven and earth, and the timeflow of the cosmos.

“Destiny Rules, Harmonization-level Destiny Rules…”

Jiang Ding carefully pondered.

Rarely would one encounter a Harmonization-level existence entirely harmless to oneself, and one who deliberately reduced the difficulty of comprehending its Destiny Rules. Jiang Ding seized this opportunity to explore them in detail, lest he be caught unprepared when facing a similar adversary in the future.

Even among Destiny Rules, there was a significant difference between those of the Central Array Spirit Computer and those of the Great Powers of the Heavenly Mechanism Immortal Palace.

The Destiny Rules of the Great Powers of the Heavenly Mechanism Immortal Palace were more elusive, mysterious, suffused with an air of divination and shamanic practices. They leaned toward glimpsing fragments of future destinies, humbly subordinated to the Heavenly Dao as servants obeying supreme trajectories in exchange for visions of future events.

This lineage based their cultivation on the glimpsed images of fate.

Previously, a Great Power from the Heavenly Mechanism Immortal Palace had notably rescued the Divine Soul of a Great Power from the Dan Ding Immortal Sect, seemingly for such a reason.

He believed that in the future, the Heavenly Mechanism Immortal Palace would need the friendship of the Dan Ding Immortal Sect and that now was not the time to annex it to strengthen his own sect, as the point defined by destiny had not yet been reached.

The Destiny Rules of the Central Array Spirit Computer, on the other hand, were devoid of such ornate workings and focused solely on one thing.

Computation Power.

Absolute computation power!

All predictions of the future and influences upon Heaven and Earth Rules arose purely from extraordinary and vast computational capacity—not from glimpsing a specific destiny.

It was akin to solving mathematical problems, calculating probabilities of future events through sheer force of massive computation.

Boom!

From within the endless thunderclouds of the Heavenly Tribulation, the first bolt of rule-bound lightning descended, following the Heavenly Dao Rules Net to strike the World Tree rooted in the Medium Thousand World.

In an instant, the lightning shattered hundreds of kilometers of forest, reducing countless jade-green leaves and brown trunks to flying ash and dust.

The verdant World Barrier was thus left with a blackened hole.

Though it appeared cataclysmic, with hundreds of kilometers obliterated, for a World Tree spanning an entire Medium Thousand World, it was no more than a negligible scratch, akin to having a few hairs plucked—not truly damaging.

In the moment of destruction, countless branches and leaves quickly grew to fill all space, erasing every trace of charred blackness.

The first Heavenly Tribulation was as inconsequential as a breeze to the Central Array Spirit Computer—it entirely ignored it.

At this juncture, the stark divergence between the Xianmen Sect and the Heavenly Mechanism Immortal Palace regarding their understanding of the “Heavenly Dao” became apparent.

The Xianmen Sect believed that the boundless cosmos contained only natural laws and rules, with no supreme entity called the “Heavenly Dao.” The Heavenly Dao was merely a phenomenon—a neutral, heartless, eternal physical occurrence devoid of good, evil, or intention.

Both perspectives on this seemed correct.

The Heavenly Mechanism Immortal Palace maintained utmost reverence and humility, treating themselves as servants of the Heavenly Dao, yet gained no visible advantage.

The Xianmen Sect entirely denied the existence of “personality” or “emotion” in the Heavenly Dao, viewing it as a natural phenomenon and emphasizing the subjective initiative of cultivators. They, too, did not suffer any divine wrath.

Boom!

Boom!

In the starry sky, bolts of rule-bound lightning descended relentlessly. The rule-bound brilliance of the Heavenly Dao Rules Net lit up the cosmos, amassing immense power to strike at the World Tree rooted in its realm again and again, aiming for cosmic-scale destruction triggered by sudden energy shifts.

As the destructive lightning continued to strike, the Heaven-Covering Banyan began to sustain real injuries—branches spanning tens of thousands of kilometers snapped, blackened, and even the main trunk, with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, was shattered by the Heavenly Tribulation. From its top third, a World Pillar collapsed and plummeted to the ground, triggering a world-scale earthquake.

Billions of banyan roots, burnt to ash by the Heavenly Tribulation, emerged from the earth, transforming the land into a boiling cauldron.

Under the Harmonization Heavenly Tribulation, the Heaven-Covering Banyan became bald and blackened, its aura weakened and abjectly miserable.

At this moment, the rolling thunderclouds in the starry sky paused briefly, dispersing in all directions to reveal the tranquil night. Countless stars shimmered, and brilliant sunlight from the Sun Star bathed the world and the bald Heaven-Covering Banyan with its first rays.

The Harmonization Heavenly Tribulation was over.

The Central Array Spirit Computer ascended as a Harmonization-level computer!
