Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Capítulo 2191: Chapter 2158: Celestial Horse Immortal Clan? Nothing but Selectively Bred Livestock

The seven great armies, the Immortal Sect Fleet descended one after another in full.

Waves of vast, terrifying pressure spread across the cosmic starry sky, freezing this stretch of heaven and earth completely. Spatial turbulence was smoothed out, the shattered Heavenly Dao Rules rebuilt, and the Netherworld Gang Wind dispersed.

‘Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao Soldiers…’

Yuan watched, somewhat silent, that force of merely a hundred and eight thousand.

This was one of the ultimate forms of Taoist Soldiers on the Immortal Path, the Imperial Guards of a True Immortal, merely a hundred and eight thousand in number, with not even a single Eight Tribulation Venerable among them, yet they had easily fought to a draw against the most elite race armies under the command of the four Eight Tribulation Venerable commanders. If the war continued, they might very well have defeated all the armies of the Heavenly Horse Star Domain Group on their own.

‘Why?’

‘Why not press the advantage, but instead let these Celestial Horse Immortal Clan and Suanni Immortal Clan powerhouses escape back to their lairs?’

Within the Immortal Sect Fleet, Zhen, Sun Destruction Venerable and the other commanders and staff cultivators of the Immortal Sect Fleet were puzzled, for the scene before them did not conform to the laws of battle.

The control of this True Immortal’s army was not in Yuan’s hands, but in those of Desolate Fire Venerable, who held the Supreme Great Sun Sword Fairy’s command staff.

Hehuan Taoist, Beidou Venerable, Greedy Wolf Daoist and the other commanders descended one after another.

Compared to the doubts of the Immortal Sect’s command staff, these Supremes understood everything with just a cursory sweep of the battlefield.

“Blood Redemption Sword Fight?”

Beidou Venerable said lightly.

At that single phrase, almost all the Sword Cultivators showed fanatical expressions, their eyes blazing hot like the Great Sun.

“Yes,”

“But before that, each division needs to take turns attacking their race formations, to use actual combat to drill the Formation Methods of the past and find those Army Formation flaws that repeated tests failed to uncover.”

Desolate Fire Venerable said simply.

Training and deducing Army Formations could significantly improve an army’s combat power, but real battle was still indispensable.

The combat power of these Star Domains was weaker than imagined; in the future it was unlikely there would often be such situations where all Daoist Soldiers gathered in one domain. One force of Taoist Soldiers would be enough to handle an offensive in a single direction.

“So it should be.”

Beidou Venerable, Greedy Wolf Daoist and the others nodded slightly in agreement.

Though Desolate Fire Venerable had been granted the Sword Immortal’s command staff, it did not mean he could act arbitrarily; many matters still needed discussion.

The seven forces of Taoist Soldiers dispersed each to their own.

Next they would march separately, attacking various Great Thousand Worlds and Medium Thousand Worlds with unequal troop numbers, to test the fruits of their Cultivation in real war.

The Star Domain was incomparably vast.

Without a teleportation Formation, conquering it world by world would often be extremely time-consuming.

The Xianmen Sect likewise was assigned one direction.

“Beidou,”

“May I ask, what exactly is the Blood Redemption Sword Fight?”

Yuan caught Beidou Venerable nearby and asked.

In these past years, Yuan had cooperated frequently with many Immortal Sect Practitioners; correspondingly, he had built some personal rapport with the more orthodox-leaning Beidou Venerable.

“You are too polite, Fellow Daoist.”

Beidou Venerable did not conceal anything and explained: “This is a war tradition under the Sword Immortal’s banner. It adopts one-on-one duels; a cultivator who can win nine Sword Fights in the same realm can be granted pardon.”

“This is greatly beneficial to the growth of Sword Cultivators.”

“The drawback is, once too many cultivators are pardoned, it will incur the Sword Master’s displeasure, and the Sword Cultivators involved will be punished.”

…

The war entered the dull phase of marching.

The Eight Daoist Soldiers and the Immortal Sect Fleet had no teleportation Formation, so they could only choose a straight-line route thrusting toward the Star Domain’s center, breaking through one Medium Thousand World and Great Thousand World after another, then constructing teleportation Formations upon them, using spatial leaps and directional teleportation to continually push toward the domain’s heart.

During this process, the Celestial Horse Immortal Clan resisted again and again, but to no avail.

Great Arrays of one Great Thousand World after another were shattered under the Attack of the Sword Immortal’s soldiers; no army dared to obstruct them, and one Celestial Horse Immortal Clan legion after another was annihilated.

They could not even manage to delay time!

The Sword Immortal’s army, calling it a march, was truly just marching.

In a mere thousand years or so, by constantly constructing ultra-long-distance directional teleportation Great Arrays, the Sword Immortal’s army drew ever closer to the center of the Heavenly Horse Star Domain.

On this day, after a Great Thousand World was taken, the cultivators within did not flee.

They were robust Human Cultivators, riding Heavenly Horses with splendid feathered wings as they approached the great army. From far away they dismounted, prostrating on the ground.

A short while later, these Heavenly Horses and cultivators were sent into the center of the starry sky encampment.

“Azure Dragon Breaking Army cultivators, Five Elements Mountain Suppressing Cultivators,”

“pay respects to all the Supremes!”

A Heavenly Human Realm Practitioner said, extremely excited.

Desolate Fire Venerable frowned slightly and transferred authority to Beidou Venerable.

Compared to the Beidou Holy Land, the Huang Huo Immortal Sect was a very young Sect, ignorant of many matters, or knowing them only in rough outline.

“Descendants of the Eastern Expedition Army?”

Beidou Venerable’s voice grew gentle: “These years have been hard on you; to have survived and to await the recovery of the Human Race’s ancestral lands is no easy thing.”

“Senior Beidou…”

The Supreme Elder of Azure Dragon Breaking Army Immortal Sect choked up slightly as he spoke.

These years, they had lived in constant terror, facing being devoured and humiliated at any time. Now, returning once more to the ancestral lands of their race, a sense of security rose within his heart.

At his side, the elites of the Celestial Horse Immortal Clan stood with lowered brows and submissive eyes, like war beasts that knew little.

“Little one, speak.”

“Your purpose in coming.”

Beidou Venerable’s voice remained gentle, kindly, like that of an elder.

“Senior Beidou,”

“this junior has come to…”

The Supreme Elder of Azure Dragon Breaking Army Immortal Sect hesitated, then said: “Humbly beg Senior to pardon the Heavenly Horse Clan!”

“The Heavenly Horse Clan has been friendly to the Human Race and is not an evil race.”

He bowed deeply and said, “All these years, in order to survive amidst many Divine and Demon Race powers, the Celestial Horse Immortal Clan has been forced into many compromises, but all of this was to preserve the Human Race’s fire, to keep it for the future.”

“The Celestial Horse Immortal Clan is an excellent breed of war beast cultivated by successive Immortal Dynasties. Cooperating with them can greatly boost the combat power of Human Taoist Soldiers; they are one of the Immortal Path foundations of the Human Race, and this cannot be taken lightly.”

“I beg Senior to discern clearly.”

This Supreme Elder of Azure Dragon Breaking Army Immortal Sect spoke with utmost sincerity.

The many Celestial Horse Immortal Clan elites who had come with him looked with yearning and supplication at the many Human Race Supremes present.

All the Human Race Supremes wore calm expressions, without the slightest ripple.

“Heh…”

Beidou Venerable let out a soft laugh.

She knew that the Divine Soul of the Azure Dragon Breaking Army Immortal Sect’s Supreme Elder was abnormal, and was not angered in the least.

“All of the Cannibal Demon Tribe,”

“must die.”

Beidou Venerable said calmly: “This is the Sword Immortal’s order; everyone must obey. All historical sins must be settled. The Human Race is a race that likes to record history.”

“The Celestial Horse Immortal Clan?”

“They are no more than fine beasts bred in a stockyard, yet they dare call themselves an Immortal Clan?”

“What is more, they dared to betray their masters and enslave the Human Race?”

“This shows that there was a problem in the Heavenly Horse breeding of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Dynasty. The bloodline variety of your branch of Heavenly Horses is entirely flawed and must be completely destroyed.”

“To still harbor delusions is truly laughable.”

The surrounding Supremes all showed mocking expressions.

That the Suanni Immortal Clan and Bixi Immortal Clan called themselves Immortal Clans could be left aside, but mere Heavenly Horses, a breed selected and bred by the Human Race, actually dared fail to recognize their station—this was utterly absurd!

“You!”

The many Heavenly Horse elites who had come along glared red-eyed, faces contorted in fury.

Yet the wills of many Human Race Supremes descended in suppression, and even their rage vanished in an instant, their hearts overwhelmed by terror and cold; they no longer dared make a sound.

“The Human Race is a land of rites and propriety.”

“To behead envoys is not our way.”

Beidou Venerable said coolly: “You may go. As for you juniors, if you wish to stay, you may stay. In consideration of your ancestors’ merits in resisting the Alien Race, your lives can be spared.”

She waved her hand, and the many Heavenly Horse elites who had signed master–servant blood pacts with their knights were blasted out of the starry sky camp.
