Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Capítulo 1756: Chapter 1724: If There Is No Return, Then Let There Be No Return

The heavens and earth suddenly froze.

Everything, the cosmic starry sky, the rolling thunder tribulation clouds, the flickering electric light, and the consciousness of all beings, were all frozen in place, becoming a painting.

Tear~

This painting was torn apart by a brilliant sword-light, then shattered into countless pieces.

The starry sky of the Ancient Divine Domain World Cluster returned to tranquility once more.

…

In the sky of the Solar System, a green-clothed youth gazed at the night sky.

“I can’t retreat any further.”

“Immortality, after all, is a great existence formed of countless miracles.”

Jiang Ding murmured, “Falling behind time and again, the burden becoming insurmountable, the ultimate despair is something I cannot face; the hopeless late years that countless Supremes have faced through the generations, I will never experience.”

“If I am to die, I will die in the most beautiful years.”

The Immortal Level order has retreated.

The Three-step Limit has retreated.

In the future, it must further retreat, as the more breakthroughs are made later, the more difficult it becomes; the difficulties accumulated step by step!

These difficulties accumulate exponentially the further it goes.

One could say, what appears to be difficult now is actually the easiest stage to succeed; in the future, once becoming a Supreme, everything at that time is already settled, and hard to change.

Jiang Ding fell into endless contemplation.

Without an answer, there’s no answer; despair in research is nothing unusual, it’s something everyone has to experience, even if the final result proves to be failure, achieving nothing.

Unknowingly, time passed.

“Any direction?”

A gentle voice asked.

It was Yuan, who had come here.

“Swordsmanship and Sword Soul.”

Jiang Ding was not surprised and said calmly, “Swordsmanship breakthrough to the eighth rank, further fine-tuning the Material Sun Rule, no longer a minute adjustment, but adjusting to a thousandth degree, truly mastering a branch rule of the world and completely harmonizing with it.”

“A living being is the master of a certain branch rule.”

“This is the eighth-ranked Tao Realm Swordsmanship.”

“It sounds quite difficult?”

Yuan speculated.

“Yes.”

“It’s very difficult because this is Near Immortal Level Swordsmanship.”

Jiang Ding looked to the distance and said calmly, “In the Endless Starry Sky, the number of Supremes is limited because the branches of rules are limited; each Supreme represents the limit of a path, just like the Fire Dao Rules, whose branches are limited, able to accommodate a fixed number of Supremes.”

“Occasionally there is a change, like when a certain Supreme occupies more rule branches, or when a certain Supreme pioneers a new Fire Dao Rule, a new path.”

“But on the whole, the number of Supremes in the Endless Universe Starry Sky is limited.”

“The eighth-ranked Tao Realm Swordsmanship uses the sword to pry the rules, dominate a branch rule, and create one’s own rule creations, like the ninth rank Taiqing Spirit Iron of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm.”

“The Immortal Sect Sword Son can only ever approach but never truly reach Tao Realm Swordsmanship.”

“That’s the level of difficulty.”

Throughout history, the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm only had two Supremes in the same era, and this is the reason.

The ultimate in the sword dao of Taiyin and Taiyang is Supreme.

Before the Sun Sword Master and the Taiyin Sword Master of this generation die, the Taiyin and Taiyang Sword Child can never ascend to Supreme, only slumber sealed, awaiting the future.

Breaking through the Three-step Limit, if one’s foundation is insufficient, attempting to force a breakthrough with one’s own talent requires such swordsmanship.

Jiang Ding was unable to do it.

Between the seventh rank Heavenly Sword Swordsmanship and the eighth realm Tao Realm Swordsmanship lay an endless universe starry sky, with no steps to ascend, only a sheer ninety-degree cliff.

“What about Sword Soul and Sword Intent?”

Yuan asked again.

To grasp Near Immortal Swordsmanship at the Void Refinement Realm really exceeds the limits because the ultimate growth of an Immortal Sect Sword Son is only Supreme after all.

“In the Immortal Dao Universe, the will of cultivators can directly affect matter and reality, and further can even affect rules.”

“For a Sword Cultivator, this means Sword Soul and Sword Intent.”

Jiang Ding said calmly, “To me, it requires a battlefield where I can slay over a hundred Taoist disciples. If I do not die, I should be able to birth such a Sword Intent, named Adulthood Sword Soul.”

“The Adulthood Sword Soul is the backbone of this Human Race, capable of influencing the race’s destiny.”

From the perspective of the Endless Starry Sky Dominator Race, a Sword Cultivator is only considered grown once they develop into an Adulthood Sword Soul.

“Over a hundred Taoist disciples?”

Yuan was instantly dumbfounded.

Not to mention whether such a battlefield exists, even if it did, to be honest, the probability of a Dari Swordsman surviving successfully and slaying a hundred Taoist disciples should be virtually zero.

“Are there any other paths?”

Yuan couldn’t help asking.

“Yes.”

“Immortal Body, Dragon and Phoenix Bloodline, Immortal Scripture, perhaps even the Immortal Level order of the Nascent Soul Stage are required. The Rule Power evolved from the power of Immortal Level order would be very strong, making it easier to break through limits.”

Based on his understanding, Jiang Ding provided an answer.

Leading by one step leads to leading every step; even so,

one misstep can naturally accumulate step by step into the desperation of countless Supremes.

Yuan was speechless.

“In the Endless Starry Sky, Xianmen Sect and us are too impoverished.”

“Our foundation is too weak.”

Yuan sighed, “Compared to those with true potential to achieve immortality, we are too small, making achieving immortality a mere luxury. Perhaps, one generation achieving immortality is impossible.”

He gently advised.

This generation of people from Xianmen Sect may only be able to pave the way for future Immortal Sect Citizens in the years to come.

Perhaps in endless years, Xianmen Sect could birth a True God.

At that time, this True God of Xianmen Sect may recall the two Xianmen Sect leaders who laid the cornerstone of Xianmen Sect many years ago.

“I do not wish to leave such brilliance for future generations.”

Jiang Ding said calmly.

He was educated from a young age to regard his own interests and those of Xianmen Sect as equal, completely devoted, abandoning his interests and personal dreams, something he couldn’t accept.

“What will you do then?”

Yuan sighed softly, “Jiang Ding, keep trying and striving until your seventy thousand-year lifespan limit. I and Xianmen Sect will assist you, continually experimenting, developing, advancing toward the eighth realm in the sword dao.”

“If by your lifespan’s end success still eludes you, I hope you can ascend to Harmonization and survive.”

The green-clothed youth still slowly shook his head.

“Why?”

Yuan was startled.

“Senior Yuan, this path of swordsmanship is not feasible.”

“This is Near Immortal Level Swordsmanship, Xianmen Sect has no possibility of developing a breakthrough within thirty thousand years.”

Jiang Ding said slowly, “I can live no more than thirty thousand years; my sole path is not in swordsmanship but in Sword Soul.”

“Sword Soul?”

“Where will you find hundreds of Taoist disciples to fight?”

Yuan questioned, puzzled.

“Senior Yuan, it doesn’t have to be Taoist disciples.”

“As long as the opponent is suitable.”

Jiang Ding gradually showed a hint of maniacal grin, “In fact, the opponent doesn’t even have to be human. Haven’t you heard the joy of fighting against people, the delight in battling the earth, and the thrill in contending with heaven?”

“For example, there.”

His gaze turned to the Endless Starry Sky of the Galaxy, incredibly fervent.

“The depths of the home universe?”

Yuan trembled, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart: “The depths of the home universe have nothing; aside from countless stars, countless planets, and an infinite expanse of space filled with meteorites, and the ever-present phenomenon of Spirit Scattering, there’s nothing else!”

“Exactly so.”

“That’s exactly what I want!”

“Ha ha!”

“Ha ha ha ha!”

Jiang Ding laughed aloud, full of joy: “Senior Yuan, do you know? In the Endless Starry Sky, our Xianmen Sect is as weak as an ant, without any advantage, yet it holds a cosmic-level treasure.”

“And that is our homeland!”

“That is our Soulless Universe, and our innate adaptability to it.”

“Speaking of innate talents, the adaptability to the Soulless Universe might even be considered an Immortal Level innate talent, is there such a possibility?”

“Is this the Immortal Body?”

“Is it?”

Jiang Ding laughed heartily, “I say it is; it certainly is.”

“Senior Yuan, take care of everything in Xianmen Sect.”

“Should Senior Wan Ji achieve Harmonization, please convey my congratulations. I am now heading deeper into my homeland to seek my path to immortality. This time I will not give up, like how I abandoned the Nascent Soul Stage order.”

“My Sword Soul will certainly break through, will certainly break through.”

“This breakthrough will surely manifest in the Elimination Method, I believe it will, and I shall emerge victorious in this battle, returning with the hope of achieving immortality.”

“Senior Yuan, farewell!”

“Farewell!”

Laughter turned into maniacal growls and roars toward the end.

A terrifying beam of sunlight pierced through cosmic space, heading towards the Galaxy; in the future, it might even traverse the Galaxy, flying to more distant places, leaving no Spiritual Energy for a return.

This journey,

if the Sword Soul does not break through, then let the bones rest in the homeland!
