Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1962: Chapter 1930: The Inevitable Rotting Deadlock

Anyun Protectorate.

Amidst the layers of the Formation Method, four Taoist disciples sit cross-legged. At the center is Congfa Daoist, the direct descendant of the Anyun Jiedu Envoy, a branch of the Immortal Dynasty’s royal bloodline.

The other three are Wanye Daoist from the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Sect, Liu Ye Daoist from the Fallen Immortal Liu Family, and Heavenly Horse Daoist from the Heavenly Falling North Star Sea Horse Ranch.

Among these four Taoist disciples, only Congfa Daoist and Wanye Daoist have reached the Seven Steps of Unity Limit.

The other two disciples have only completed the Harmonious Nirvana six times.

Surrounding them are over ten Taoist disciples standing solemnly, all at the Six Steps Harmonization Nirvana Limit level, mostly from collateral family branches, such as second sons.

The morale among the many Taoist disciples is quite low.

Due to years of strife, they have repeatedly suffered defeat, all at the hands of those Taoist disciples claiming to be from the present world, unable to challenge them, and the entire Sect has fallen, controlled by the opposing side, forced to stay confined within the small protection of the Anyun Protectorate Great Array, not daring to venture out.

”Have we still not been able to contact the Supreme Beings?”

Heavenly Horse Daoist couldn’t help but ask.

Ever since these so-called present world Taoists truly emerged, he had been constantly calling upon his father, yet never receiving a response, as if he had disappeared entirely.

”There has been no contact.”

”My father has never responded, although I have often seen him meditating in seclusion within the Protectorate, sometimes even brewing tea and enjoying leisure, but he simply does not respond to me at all, as if he does not exist.”

Congfa Daoist spoke in a low tone, ”Those present world Taoists claim this is a Time Rift. We are beings from a past time, and within this abandoned Ancient Heavenly Ascension Road, the Supreme has not truly manifested but is merely an illusion, constantly repeating everything from past times, with no changes happening.”

Present world Taoists.

Some noticed that the descendant of the Anyun Jiedu Envoy had vaguely resigned to fate, believing the incomprehensible words of those suddenly appearing beings.

This has also happened in history.

During the era of the Ten Thousand Laws Ancient Emperor’s birth and growth, Ancient Heavenly Ascension Roads and many abandoned ancient roads similarly appeared. The Ancient Emperor fought his way through, growing stronger, ultimately becoming unrivaled under the heavens, achieving the title of Human Emperor.

This glorious history is well-known among these Immortal Dynasty nobles.

And now, is it yet another cycle of Reincarnation?

The hearts of the many Taoist disciples felt hollow, extremely pained.

”It’s all an illusion!”

”It must be an illusion!”

Liu Ye Daoist roared unwillingly in anger, ”Our families and Sects have been passed down for millions of years, steadfast as Mount Tai, how could they collapse and be replaced by these unrelated future Taoists?”

”It must be the work of the Heavenly Demons without a doubt!”

”We need to maintain our mind and wait for the elder’s rescue...”

”Alas!”

The surrounding Taoist disciples sighed continuously, remaining silent.

For a long time, there was silence.

”I must say,”

”Since tens of thousands of years ago, the Demon Race and Divine Dao elites have emerged incessantly, constantly appearing. The Demon Race Supremes wreak havoc on the borders, beings that the Ancient Emperor had long eradicated have reappeared. The Immortal Dynasty has been unable to swiftly eliminate them; instead, many elite Demons and Divine Dao elites have escaped. These Alien Clan Geniuses are continually growing, and now many Supremes have emerged...this is the reality.”

Congfa Daoist sighed lightly, ”This is an external threat.”

”As for the internal decline,”

He looked towards Liu Ye Daoist and Heavenly Horse Daoist, ”You two Fellow Daoists, your generation hasn’t been able to produce a Seventh Step Harmonization Nirvana Limit Taoist disciple, right?”

”This...”

Heavenly Horse Daoist and Liu Ye Daoist’s expressions changed.

The sudden acknowledgment of their family’s situation of generational strength deterioration by outsiders frightened them immensely.

”There is no need to panic.”

”My family...is in the same situation.”

Congfa Daoist softly said, ”My family is a bit stronger than yours, but only for this generation. The next generation...may also fail to produce a Seventh Step Harmonization Nirvana Limit Taoist disciple.”

”Is it the same for Fellow Daoist Wanye?”

Wanye Daoist did not speak.

Liu Ye Daoist and Heavenly Horse Daoist also remained silent.

”Why is it so?”

Congfa Daoist asked.

Matters that were previously never discussed were now laid bare in front of them.

”What else could it be?”

Heavenly Horse Daoist sighed, ”The reason for our success is entirely reliant on the Dao Fruit produced by generations of elite humans. Without it, someone as mediocre as you or I would only reach the limit of Heavenly Man, how could we become Taoist disciples?”

”Generations of exploitation, even the unparalleled human elites have started to dry up.”

”This generation can still produce a Sixth Step Harmonization Nirvana Taoist disciple, and we are dissatisfied. Whether the next generation can produce a single Supreme is uncertain.”

”The birth of Demon Race and Divine Dao Supremes between Domains is because of this. The Immortal Dynasty lacks a sufficient number of Supremes, making it difficult to suppress the vast Endless Starry Sky, leading to the continual loss of border stars, it’s truly inevitable.”

”Who doesn’t know these accumulated problems?”

The many Taoist disciples were all desolate.

Indeed,

Who doesn’t know these things?

Any insightful person can see the collapse of the Human Race Immortal Dynasty is imminent, just holding onto a fluke, thinking there might be a way through this crisis.

Reform?

Reform, the first price, is the family’s demise!

The newly emerging elites would never be from their family members, much less their offspring, or themselves.

On the contrary, they, at the Harmonization Stage, require an endless supply of Dao Fruit to advance their Cultivation Base and possibly achieve Supreme status.

They inherently lack talent and intelligence, needing to continually plunder the Dao Fruit of human elites to survive.

The first thing reform would eliminate is these Taoist disciples!

And it is not just them, numerous family Heavenly Men and Harmonization cultivators below them, isn’t it the same for all of them?

How can there be reform?

Who dares to reform?

No one dared speak such words.

If those words were uttered, the entire family’s powerful individuals would become life-and-death adversaries, and the Taoist disciples would face life-and-death crises commonly, possibly even inciting a Supreme’s murderous intent.

Because Supremes too require an endless supply of Dao Fruit for survival and longevity!

Upon thinking of these dreadful consequences, many Taoist disciples felt a slight chill, discarding any unrealistic ideas born of the predicament.

”Can we seek assistance?”

”Request aid from stronger Taoist disciples of the Immortal Dynasty, though the True Immortals have long vanished, there are still several Eighth Step Harmonization Nirvana Limit Taoist disciples, is it possible...”

Heavenly Horse Daoist said in a low voice.

The many Taoist disciples looked towards Congfa Daoist, the royal family branch bloodline.

”It’s useless.”

”I received a message from the Ten Thousand Laws Emperor Heaven long ago, from the Immortal Dynasty, a present world True Immortal has appeared.”

Congfa Daoist spoke bitterly.

”Present world True Immortal!”

The many Taoist disciples were utterly shocked.

Clash!

Boom!

At the same moment, the Dream Realm had completed its invasion and penetration, a terrifying Destruction Sun descended from the heavens, violently destroying the outer Ten Thousand Immortal Mountain Array of the Anyun Protectorate, shattering pieces of space and rules.

This land was upheaved, one Immortal Mountain after another fell to the ground, shattered beyond repair, exposing the vulnerable Taoist disciples at the center.

The Wood God Alliance and Heavenly Dao Alliance, the many present world Taoists, who had long been unable to breach the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountain Array, were defeated with a single sword blow!

”Who?!”

”Who dares to attack our Anyun Protectorate?!”

The dozen Taoist disciples, including Congfa Daoist, trembled as they looked toward the shattered space.

There, a green-clothed youth bearing both Demon and Human Race auras rested his hand on his sword hilt, expression indifferent, as he stepped into the great hall, walking indifferently past the many Taoist disciples, ascending to the high seat, sitting on the throne previously occupied by the Congfa Supreme, coldly watching the many Taoist disciples below.

No one dared intercept him.

These Taoist disciples cowered like chickens, only watching meekly, not daring to make a sound.

Here, silence gradually settled in.

Bit by bit, a chill slowly surfaced in the hearts of Congfa Daoist and the other beings, unable to suppress their trembling.

In the presence of the green-clothed youth, they felt a terrifying and manic murderous intent, unlike anything they had encountered before, sharp like a knife of Divine Soul, piercing directly, as if any slight movement would result in death.

”Present world, Eight Step Harmonization Nirvana, Taoist...”

Heavenly Horse Daoist spoke bitterly.
