Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1494: Chapter 1462: The Fearsome Formation Method Coordination of the Nine Great Daoists

Ancient God Dao Zangtian Pavilion.

For hundreds of thousands of years, it had been tranquil, but now, waves have come.

Meteor-like meteors descended from the sky, scattering in all directions, quickly triggering numerous restrictions within the Zangtian Pavilion. Corpses of refined puppets crawled up from the earth, lunging at any creature daring to step into the forbidden zone of the Ancient Divine Path.

In the southeastern direction, ten Daoist disciples of the Nine Spirits Realm descended amidst a field of wildgrass and burial mounds.

Jiang Ding glanced around.

The surrounding mountains and lands were split, rivers and lakes dried up, and skeletons covered the ground. Among them were spider-shaped, ant-shaped, crane-shaped, ox-shaped, and human-shaped remains, with various biological remnants piled like mountains, bearing marks of teeth and bites, as if they had endured a brutal struggle.

“This place, perhaps, was once a Spirit Beast Garden…”

Jiang Ding murmured.

The Ancient Divine Path was renowned for commanding many Beast Taoist Soldiers. Naturally, their land of inheritance contained related legacies, but now it seemed deserted, with hundreds of thousands of years changing too many things.

“Roar!”

“Hiss…”

The ground cracked open, and numerous zombies and fierce ghosts broke through the soil, forming an army formation and rushing towards them.

These zombies and fierce ghosts, mostly Black Corner Ants, Weaving Sky Spiders, Flying Cranes, and Goat Beasts, were commonly seen races among the Alliance of Ten Thousand Clans, refined in the past as slaves of the Ancient Divine Path, only to be crafted again after death.

“There are millions of refined corpses, including over ten thousand God-Transformation Phase Beast Refined Corpses, twenty-one Void Refining Stage refined corpses, and a single Peak of Void Refinement Weaving Sky Spider Zombie!”

“These refined corpses have an army formation!”

Heavenly Calculator Daoist pinched his Mana Technique with a solemn expression.

Under the restriction of the Yama Hell Equal King Inverted Yin Yang Array of the Ancient Divine Path, any intruding being could only be at the God-Transformation Phase. Being besieged by so many God-Transformation and Void Refining Refined Corpses, survival was almost impossible, with no chance of escape.

This great array of creation-like rules was the secret foundational heritage of the Ancient Divine Path, seemingly offering a glimmer of hope, yet in reality, it was a dead-end.

With fifty evolutions of the heavens, one is missing.

To demand perfection in this world is instead an error.

Under equal strength, pursuing perfection everywhere creates weaknesses everywhere, resulting in mediocrity among Eighth-Order Arrays.

The missing ‘one’ was not the ancient sages of the Ancient Divine Path leaving a chance for the enemy. It was the essence of this formation that dramatically enhanced the power of the Yama Hell Equal King Inverted Yin Yang Array, allowing it to traverse the eighth rank while reducing the cost of the formation. It’s a marvelously exquisite design.

“Roar!”

Over twenty Void Refining Refined Corpses of the Ancient Divine Path roared, forming a ghostly army formation with the surrounding hundreds of thousands of beast soldier refined corpses. Numerous cold and gloomy Rule Powers surged within, refining a rule net that froze everything, slaughtering all the Daoist disciples of the Nine Spirits Realm.

This strike could severely damage a Peak of Void Refinement Cultivator!

However, such power was being used against a group of Nascent Soul Cultivators.

This is why the many Harmonization Divine Monarchs of the Ancient Divine Domain were so pessimistic.

They believed sending their own Daoist disciples, bloodline saints into the Zangtian Pavilion’s Yama Hell Equal King Inverted Yin Yang Array would be extremely risky, likely resulting in the death of half. Hence, they resorted to joint threats, forcing the Nine Great Immortal Sects of the Nine Spirits Realm to send their Daoist disciples as hostages; otherwise, all forces from the Ancient Divine Domain would launch an assault.

“Attack.”

“Do not expose individual strength beyond the early stage of Void Refining.”

Jiang Ding said calmly.

He raised his hand, slashing out a sword.

This sword was agile and lively, bright and radiant, filled with the spiritual beauty of the Formation Dao, spreading out runes of golden light, enveloping all cultivators of the Eight Great Immortal Sects disciples within.

Immediately, the faces of Heavenly Calculator Daoist and others changed slightly.

They realized that at this moment, they could instantly sense the power fluctuations of surrounding Daoist disciples, the fluctuations of the Divine Soul and Mana. If they cast a joint formation, its might would be several times stronger than before!

“…Yes.”

Heavenly Calculator Daoist and others remained silent for a long time, sighing deeply.

The Nine Great Daoists formed the traditional Nine Spirits Solar Execution Array of the Nine Spirits Realm, charging into the numerous zombie cold rule arrays with Yu Qianzi’s Flying Sword as the sword’s point.

The Taiyin Sword Light interwoven, charging at the forefront, yet occasionally a sword strike was insufficient to kill, and a crane-shaped mid-stage Beast Zombie, accompanied by an army of corpses, pierced into the array, its beak black as cold iron, unimaginably sharp, cleaving through the rules, attacking Yu Qianzi from behind in an instant.

Yu Qianzi was charging at the front and had no time to react.

This was inevitable; although she was a Daoist disciple, she was only of early stage Void Refining strength and had borne the full frontal pressure, lacking the spare effort to divert to other areas.

However, she seemed unpanicked, possessing the ability to escape.

Such an escape ability did not need to be exhibited now.

“Kill!”

Xuanwu Daoist shouted in a low voice.

Holding a sky-like gold light giant shield, he rushed alone towards the crane-shaped refined corpse, intercepting the chilling beak striking towards Yu Qianzi in a flash.

Ding!

At the moment the refined Void Black Crane’s beak touched the Sky Dome Giant Shield, golden light burst forth, and fine cracks appeared on the giant shield. It was evident that Xuanwu Daoist’s strength was no match for this mid-stage Void Refining Black Crane Refined Corpse with numerous subordinates, merely barely holding it at bay and sustaining injuries.

This was astonishing enough, enduring a mid-stage Void Refining powerhouse without serious injury with an early stage Void Refining strength.

“The Wood of Taiyi…”

Ji Liuyue scattered emerald radiance, falling onto Xuanwu Daoist and the Sky Dome Giant Shield, healing Xuanwu Daoist’s injuries instantly and sealing the cracks on the Sky Dome Giant Shield, leaving no harm.

She waved the verdant branch in her hand again.

Numerous branches sparkling with the Power of Order of life spread out, falling on all surrounding Daoist disciples, forming a layer of verdant vine armor on them, possessing formidable defense and providing powerful recovery speed.

Not only Ji Liuyue, An Tuzi also took action, a domain of five elements’ Order unfolding, instantly slowing the movements of all Beast Refined Corpses, and further accelerating the Mana recovery speed of all Daoist disciples, enhancing spell power by at least thirty percent.

The Heavenly Calculator Daoist, with a serious expression, clasped his fingers in a Mana Technique.

Under the restriction of the Ancient Divine Path Yama Hell Equal King Inverted Yin Yang Array, all intruding beings were of the Nascent Soul Phase. Being surrounded by so many God-Transformation and Void Refining refined corpses was nearly a sure path to death, with little chance of escape.

These rule-creation arrays, seemingly leave a glimmer of hope, but are actually dead ends.

The calculation of the Heavenly Mechanism is flawless.

If one seeks perfection in all places under equal strength, it causes all places to be weaknesses, reducing to the mediocrity found in the echelon of Eighth-Order Array.

The one that had been eluded was not giving the enemy a chance of survival but was the essence of this formation, immensely boosting the power of the Yama Hell Equal King Inverted Yin Yang Array, allowing it to traverse the eighth order while reducing the cost of the formation, making it an exquisitely ingenious design.

“Roar!”

More than twenty Void Refining Refined Corpses of the Ancient Divine Path roared, forming a vicious sinister army formation with the countless Beast Refining Corpses around, where many cold rule powers undulated, constructing a web of freezing rules that slaughtered all the Taoist disciples of the Nine Spirits Realm.

This strike could grievously injure a Refining Void Peak Cultivator!

Yet, such power was used against a group of Nascent Soul Cultivators.

This is why many Harmonization God Monarchs in the Ancient Divine Domain were so pessimistic.

They believed that sending their Daoist disciples, bloodline saints into Zangtian Pavilion’s Yama Hell Equal King Inverted Yin Yang Array involved great risks and that many might perish, thus they did not hesitate to join forces to coerce the Nine Spirits Realm’s Nine Great Immortal Sects to send their Daoists as hostages, lest they be jointly besieged by all forces of the Ancient Divine Domain.

“Attack.”

“Do not reveal power beyond the early stage of Void Refining level individuals.”

Jiang Ding spoke indifferently.

He raised his hand and slashed a sword.

This sword was nimble and lively, bright and resplendent, filled with the spiritual beauty of the Formation Dao, spreading out to all the places around, heading straight into the battle.

The people found that they could feel the power fluctuations of the surrounding disciples with every movement, predicting every refinement corpse attack in advance and dodging or counterattacking them.

Nine Great Daoists either took charge of the attack or defense, each for their roles. The Taiyin Sword Light crisscrossed, charging ahead. Occasionally, a sword would appear, tearing through the rules, aiming at Yu Qianzi’s back and closing in within a moment.

Yu Qianzi had already expended all his strength with the frontal pressure, lacking the strength to divert attention elsewhere.

“Taiyi’s Wood…”

Ji Liuyue waved her hand.

Emerging out of nowhere, the Shadow Demon occasionally appeared, with each attack predicting a certain refined corpse’s attack, escaping or anticipating in advance.

Nine Great Daoists, each in charge of attack, defense, or concealment. With seamless collaboration, transcending their abilities, they faced no flaw in their formation, surpassing the capabilities of the Eighth-Order Array.

This was the basic survival skill of the Daoist disciples of the Nine Spirits Realm.

The cooperation between them allowed the group of Daoist disciples to hold out against the Sixth Rank Peak of Void Refinement Formation composed of tens of thousands of beasts.
