Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1567: Chapter 1535: Great Sun Sword Lord

In the cosmic starry sky outside the Demon Heaven Realm, silence reigned, as if time had come to a standstill.

Unseen, a chill emanated from the depths of the endless universe starry sky, reaching the hearts of the Domain Ruler experts, causing a shiver within.

Harmonization cultivators.

Fourteen of them, unparalleled and sovereign across the Domains, Harmonization cultivators who were companions to these fellows!

Mere moments ago, they were drinking and making merry, forming familial ties, accepting disciples from each other, and establishing future alliances of attack and defense, with promises of eternal loyalty; the next moment, they vanished without a trace.

How could such a thing not sow panic in their hearts?

The Unknown.

The intangible, icy unknown was like a cold tide, breeding boundless speculation in these Harmonization cultivators’ hearts, countless distracting thoughts; the more they pondered, the more frightened they became, and the more unfounded their speculations grew, leaving them in a tangled mess of chaos.

Many Harmonization cultivators cast a glance at their empty surroundings.

The Ancient God Alliance originally had forty-six Harmonization cultivators, undeniably formidable, the most powerful force among the Domains. If not for internal discord and inability to unite, this strength could dominate all forces, invincible, making the Nine Spirits Realm and the Nine Great Immortal Sects seem insignificant.

And now, they had suddenly thinned considerably.

Fourteen comrades seen not long ago vanished quietly; indeed, one-third of the Harmonization cultivators disappeared without a trace.

One-third!

This meant that one out of every three Domain Rulers, who had surveyed the world for tens of thousands of years, had already died, or their life or death was unknown.

The cold impact of death was such that even these near-divine beings atop the clouds could not maintain their calm, their Dao Hearts wavering in an instant, Internal Demons multiplying.

Yet, tens of thousands of years were ultimately not in vain.

Fear is merely an essential innate ability that living beings use to cope with danger, and these sovereigns of the Domains possessed enough capability to harness these fear instincts to make the most correct decisions.

“The Grass Dragon God Monarch and others have still not responded; they must have met with misfortune.”

“Then we must make early preparations!”

The Heavenly Fortune God Monarch said coldly, “The only question is whether it’s the Heavenly Man that has acted? If a Heavenly Man has appeared, we have nothing to say, we would simply submit.”

“Submitting under a Heavenly Man wouldn’t dishonor us.”

“Even in the Upper Realm, Heavenly Men are second only to the Supreme in the Immortal Sects; being their followers isn’t a disgrace.”

“Indeed.”

The surrounding Harmonization cultivators nodded slightly.

No one panicked, no one fled in fear, and no one acted irrationally, instead, they coldly observed everything around them.

“It is certainly not a Heavenly Man!”

The Three-faced God Monarch spoke indifferently.

“If a Heavenly Man appeared, with just a glance, they would obliterate us, leaving very little chance for escape, without needing to perform such mysterious acts.”

“We are not worthy.”

“Just as we wouldn’t expend much effort on a group of dozens of Refining Nothingness cultivators.”

An extremely dangerous possibility was quickly dismissed by the many Harmonization cultivators.

“Then it must be an expert among the Harmonization cultivators.”

“An expert who prevented the Grass Dragon God Monarch and other fellows from even sending a distress signal.”

The Weaving Sky Spider God Monarch coldly interjected, “Is it that Tianji and Xuanwu have finally acted? Why? If they wipe us out, the Eastern Devil School is next!”

“This does not conform to reason!”

His words carried a trace of frustration.

Though the Ancient God Alliance had adopted a guerrilla strategy, it shouldn’t spread out so much, too carelessly, and should have been divided into as many teams as possible instead of scattering like this.

Unfortunately, because the Netherworld Black Sky Crane and their Weaving Sky Spider Clan were forced to temporarily rent weaker tribes’ domains due to loss of their lands, it caused friction among many Harmonization cultivators within the alliance.

Many Harmonization cultivators from weaker tribes and smaller peak masters never trusted them, often going out of their way to avoid individual contacts with them.

Issuing a direct command would mean declaring war in advance, unable to compromise.

“Is it the Tianji God Monarch and others?”

The Three-faced God Monarch and others looked towards the Heavenly Fortune God Monarch, Qinggu God Monarch, and other God Monarchs from the Righteous Immortal Sect.

Unlike the life-or-death struggles within the Demon Dao Immortal Sect, though there were fierce Dao disputes among the Righteous Immortal Sects of the same origin, there was still a bottom line. Even if they ultimately failed, their lives could be preserved, so they surely retained basic communication, prepared for the worst-case scenario.

“Fellow Daoists, please protect me for a moment.”

At this moment, the Heavenly Fortune God Monarch didn’t put on airs, took a deep breath, and sat cross-legged.

Clearly, he did have a way to communicate with the Tianji God Monarch, but crossing vast Domains and searching far and wide for the still-retreating and healing Tianji God Monarch would be extremely difficult, requiring a significant expenditure of Mana and Divine Sense, leaving him considerably vulnerable during this time.

“If I survive, I will certainly protect my companions comprehensively!”

The Three-faced God Monarch and others said solemnly.

Buzz!

Dozens of Heavenly Dao Rules Nets spread out, interlinking, gathering endless Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi and sunlight and moonlight into a vast Formation Method, with countless Chaos Array Patterns densely filling all around, exuding incredibly terrifying aura, stirring up Domain winds and clouds, alarming the Eastern Devil School’s Demon Heaven Realm garrison who could no longer attend to it.

Now, they had no time to concern themselves with attacking the Demon Heaven Realm.

The Heavenly Fortune God Monarch used a secret method from the Upper Realm, employing the profound and unfathomable Heavenly Mechanism to infer the Cosmic Heavenly Dao, but this time it wasn’t to find some secret, but to search for a beacon deliberately left by the Tianji God Monarch within the Heavenly Dao, which could only be found through the same sect’s inheritance.

After dozens of breaths, this beacon revealed itself within the Heavenly Mechanism.

The Heavenly Fortune God Monarch connected his Divine Sense to it, beginning an exchange with the Tianji God Monarch.

Contrary to expectation, there was no deliberate obfuscation or bargaining; the response came with furious immediacy the instant the Heavenly Fortune God Monarch posed the question.

“Great…”

The face of the Heavenly Fortune God Monarch reflected shock and fear.

He disengaged from the Heavenly Mechanism inference, awakening, and looked towards the surrounding Harmonization God Monarchs, his expression somewhat bewildered at first, before quickly returning to normal.

“What has happened?”

Around him, the Weaving Sky Spider God Monarch and others asked gravely.

“To not expect it to be so soon, so early.”

“Just a mere millennium…”

The Heavenly Fortune God Monarch murmured to himself.

He slowly stood, his expression somewhat bleak, certain convictions in his heart showing signs of crumbling at this moment, losing faith in the future.

At this moment, he made a difficult decision.

“At such a time, why still talk in circles, Fellow Daoist?”

“What’s so soon?!”

The Weaving Sky Spider God Monarch and others had a bad premonition in their hearts.

“Sigh!”

“You all already know, why need to ask again?”

The Heavenly Fortune God Monarch sighed deeply, “The Dari Swordsman, the Great Sun Sword Master has already emerged, Grass Dragon fellow cultivator and the fourteen others are likely dead, their souls returned to the Heavenly Dao.”

“How could such a desolate lower realm produce a true Swordsman?”

“This defies logic!”

“It shouldn’t be like this…”

“If this old man isn’t mistaken.”

The Heavenly Fortune God Monarch looked towards the distant, profound Domain Starry Sky, his voice booming like a great bell, sending waves of agitated sound vibrations: “Sword Lord, you should be nearby, right?”

“Would it be possible to meet face to face?”
