Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Across the cosmic starry sky, through layers of time, through layers of destiny and cause and effect,

The gaze of Longevity Heavenly Venerate meets the cold gaze of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor, and this moment feels like eternity.

”Supreme Great Sun...”

The eyes of Longevity Heavenly Venerate reveal extreme terror, and with no thought, they burst into countless white papers and disperse into nothingness.

Many Emperor Realm Cultivators felt a chill in their hearts.

At this moment, in their divine soul intuition, immortal body perception, regardless of any magic technique or divine abilities, they could not see the Longevity Heavenly Venerate, even the memory of the Longevity Heavenly Venerate began to blur, a process beyond human reversal.

Clang!

Within the Nine Heavens, there echoed a crisp and pleasant sword cry.

This sound was like pearls large and small falling on a jade plate, penetrating the cosmic starry sky, into time, cause and effect, and destiny, an ethereal sword cry transcending human dimensionality.

All Emperor Realm Cultivators had a vision appear in their minds.

Above the heavens, the Human Emperor reached towards the starry sky, a material realm occurrence yet seemingly wrapped in mysterious wonders of time, cause and effect, destiny.

Everyone saw, those hands seemed to represent the true sword dao within heaven and earth, through flicks and points, they parted layers of space, the barriers of time, searched one by one through now, past, and future, maneuvered amidst indiscernible cause and effect destiny, parting various obstructions.

Eventually, amidst time and destiny, cause and effect, an old sage in a tattered robe reappeared.

”Ancient Emperor, everything is negotiable...”

Longevity Heavenly Venerate shrieked sharply.

Breaking off abruptly.

Two slender thumbs and index fingers pinched his throat, silencing all sound.

Boom!

Boom... boom...

Terrifying space storms and time torrents manifested between heaven and earth, hand from beyond the heavens grasping at the old sage’s throat, returning again to the Nine Heavens, no longer cautiously concealed, carefully exploring, causing large void collapses, rules and cause and effect annihilated.

As the old sage was dragged into the Nine Heavens, threads of cause and effect emerged from his body, connecting in all directions, densely packed, numbering in hundreds of thousands.

Hehuan Taoist traced along a cause and effect silk from the old sage, looking back to its source.

This was a child with fair skin, sporting two high braids, dressed in red bib, softly gifting a maiden an ancient scripture.

Another cause and effect silk, was a bird in flight, holding a book in its beak...

Scholars, merchants, officials, birds, trees, Mountain Gods... each thread connected a being akin to the old sage, even including past and future beings.

They were all spreading the new technique.

They were all Longevity Heavenly Venerate!

”Longevity Heavenly Venerate!”

Many Emperor Realm Cultivators drew a sharp breath.

The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor’s hands retreated.

Within the palace of Dubhe, under the gaze of countless Emperor Realm Cultivators, the old sage in a tattered robe looked around in terror, upon his body, hundreds of thousands of cause and effect silks transformed into chains of sword dao, binding tens of thousands of Longevity Heavenly Venerates without exception, all stuffed into his body.

Silence enveloped the surroundings.

”Ancient Emperor, fellow Daoists, the old sage was just...”

Longevity Heavenly Venerate awkwardly smiled.

Clang!

Jiang Ding lightly gestured, a beam of sword-light flashed.

Longevity Heavenly Venerate’s body froze, figure collapsed, losing the human appearance, revealing its true essence.

What appeared before everyone was a twisted, writhing blood and flesh talisman, countless talismans twisting on its surface, exuding greed, mania, cause and effect, time, space, and other chaotic, complex auras, along with an inexplicable contamination force, making spectators’ souls shiver with dread.

Many Emperor Realm Cultivators instinctively stepped back.

They felt if touched by this blood and flesh talisman, the entire immortal body would decay!

Hiss!

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

This blood and flesh talisman produced countless tentacles, space crumbled upon touch, the contamination force seemingly able to corrupt even space, sacrificial offering to something within the unknown.

”Is this... the essence of historical Emperor’s Immortal Technique?”

Yuan swallowed, feeling extreme danger.

”Hmm, indeed.”

”However this is only the Yang Talisman, the Yin Talisman is elsewhere.”

Jiang Ding gazed at the twisted blood and flesh talisman, speaking evenly: ”Historical Emperor’s Immortal Technique truly contains profoundly high Immortal Wisdom, greatly pushing the advancement of my Sun Immortal Scripture, now it should take at most only five hundred thousand years to reach the Cross Immortal Scripture.”

After years of struggle with the historical Emperor’s Immortal Technique, unraveled secrets, he had neither died nor failed, it couldn’t result in no gain, mere stagnation.

On the contrary, the harvest was extremely abundant.

As long as the historical emperors couldn’t kill him, they couldn’t stop his progress.

”The Yin Talisman of historical Emperor’s Immortal Technique?”

Yuan and many Emperor Realm Cultivators were startled in their hearts.

”Yes.”

”These bastards are indeed formidable!”

Jiang Ding looked in a direction, sighing: ”The Emperor’s Immortal Technique: Reversing the Heavenly Principle’s creation must have involved multiple Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors, the creator even more of a monstrous genius shaking the ancient and the present.”

”I... am far inferior.”

Inferior.

This statement shook hearts.

Inferior, as the Human Emperor said. Many Emperor Realm Cultivators could clearly understand.

This meant the Human Emperor judged, if he were placed in the same era as the creator of Emperor’s Immortal Technique, the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor, his own talent and acumen were inferior to that of the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor.

This was a precise judgment based on reality.

Even if both were of the same cultivation base, the same inheritance, the same resources, Human Emperor assessed he would likely be inferior to this Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor, inferior in talent and acumen, with no excuses of lineage or inheritance disparity.

Of course, this was just a basic assessment.

In true combat, a general with sharper, stronger, larger forces may not necessarily win, nor will those with weaker and fewer forces necessarily lose or die, as war is filled with unknowns, nothing guaranteed.

”How many worldly unrivaled elites were birthed in the boundless river of years?”

”Inconceivable.”

”This so-called Emperor’s Immortal Technique Yin Talisman...”

Jiang Ding deliberated briefly, using words Emperor Realm Cultivators could comprehend: ”When Emperor’s Immortal Technique extracts the essence of heavens and earth, not everything can be digested, producing undigestible things such as bloodthirsty resentment, hostility of Heavenly Dao, and the Emperor’s Immortal Technique Yin Talisman serves as a repository for these waste materials.”

”Once this Yin Talisman detonates, it will form an Immortal Dao Black Hole, continuously devouring spiritual energy, starlight, and other spiritual substances of Immortal Dao, greatly lowering the Starry Sky’s Immortal Dao essence...”

”This was why the Ancient Sun Emperor had to embark on a distant expedition to the Dark Forbidden Zone, had to go.”

”If unwilling to yield to the emperors, to surrender, then there must be an expedition.”
