I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1226: Chapter 1226: Immortal Emperor: You Call This a Cannon? (1/3)

Ancient battlefield.

Lu Changsheng, the master, and Shi Sheng arrived at this place.

When the Celestial Emperor saw the master, he couldn’t help but lower his head in respect and said, “Master.”

The master nodded slightly with a smile and replied, “Thank you for the Immortal Realm’s reinforcement.”

In terms of seniority, the master ranked higher than the Immortal Emperor, having taught several Human Ancestors and countless Divine Emperors, including the Immortal Emperor who had also received some instruction from the master.

After the pleasantries, the Immortal Emperor quickly said, “The initial defenses have already been completed.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng and the master looked towards the direction the Celestial Emperor was pointing to.

In their line of sight, there were several mountains soaring into the sky, each of them enhanced with a formation.

This was the first line of defense, created by the Immortal Emperor together with top experts from the Immortal Realm invoking the Power of Law to form the mountains!

When the Nefarious Demon Region descends, they would need to cross these mountains and navigate through the formations. And to fly over them? Unless one possesses absolute strength, it would be nearly impossible to traverse the air with the No-fly Array in place.

Behind the mountains, there lay a vast plain with neither pits nor places for cover.

After crossing the extensive plain, there stood solid and towering city walls!

Between the walls, every fifty li was marked by a high tower. According to the Immortal Emperor, atop these towers were talisman masters skilled in talismans, who could provide long-range attacks or defend against aerial assaults.

“The major powers of The Mortal Realm have also established strongholds in the rear,” said the Immortal Emperor with a smile.

With the help of Divine Master Hao Tian and the Immortal Emperor, the pending scourge of the Nefarious Demon Region was announced to the world. After a bout of panic, more forces chose to head to the ancient battlefield; after all, this was not the affair of just one person. If the Nefarious Demon Region breached the defenses, the whole Mortal Realm, including their own forces, would be annihilated!

Even if not for the sake of all lives, at least for their own.

But if it wasn’t for figures like the Immortal Emperor, Divine Master Hao Tian alone might not have convinced many people.

Then, the Immortal Emperor added, “However, the formations still need your improvements.”

Saying this, he turned to look at Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng nodded but thought about what the old man had told him: the formations’ power should not be too overwhelming, and without clear knowledge of the forces behind the scenes, Lu Changsheng preferred to play it safe.

Nevertheless, there was room for operation in terms of defense, at least enough to make the Nefarious Demon Region’s attack far less comfortable.

Take the No-fly Array, for example. The one brought by the Immortal Emperor might still work fine, but after Lu Changsheng made a few enhancements, well… the enemy would probably all have to cross the mountains on foot.

Then there was fortifying the city walls and setting up a formation atop the walls to restore injuries and replenish immortal aura.

In less than half a day, Lu Changsheng had completed these arrangements.

He then brought out several huge cannon barrels on the city walls.

“What is this?” asked the Immortal Emperor.

“Cannons,” answered Lu Changsheng.

Indeed, after learning of the enemy army’s composition, Lu Changsheng believed that a significant part of the Nefarious Demon Region troops’ coordination relied on the constraint of their two main air forces.

Of course, this was under the assumption that the higher echelons of power had not been activated.

However, Lu Changsheng had already set up a No-fly Array here and, with the power of the two air forces, it was unlikely they would break through the formation and thus lose their effectiveness.

Given that, there was only a need to maximize the ground firepower!

There was a saying Lu Changsheng always liked.

All fear stems from insufficient firepower!

“Eh, aren’t cannons something used by Mortal Realm’s armies during wars? I’ve seen them before, but where’s the cannonball?” Divine Master Hao Tian curiously fiddled with the cannon’s firing rope.

Lu Changsheng’s expression changed as he hurriedly shouted, “Don’t…”

The others were also puzzled, it’s just a cannon, so what could pulling it do?

But before anyone could finish the thought, with a “boom,” a thunderous roar ensued.

Instantly, a fiery sphere propelled by the Fire Dao Law and mixed with some aspects of the Law of Destruction shot out. Since the cannon’s aim had not been adjusted, the shot struck a nearby tower!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, heaven and earth collapsed, the ground shook, and mountains swayed!

This piece of land was trembling as if hit by an earthquake!

The tall tower also crumbled to powder in an instant!

The crowd stared blankly at this scene.

“You call this a cannon?”

Lu Changsheng spread his hands and said, “Anyway, this is it. I didn’t count them carefully when I made them, but there are probably around two hundred or so.”

“Oh, let me add that, though there’s no limit to how many times they can be fired, the materials can’t withstand the energy drain after about four hundred shots, and they’ll burst.”

The crowd was stunned.

Two hundred or so cannons… Each could fire four hundred times…

This damn thing, a single shot had the destructive power comparable to a full-force blow of a peak Divine King Realm expert!

However, if it wasn’t for Old Deng asking Lu Changsheng not to steal the spotlight too much, and to then weaken those cannons a bit… Forget it, there’s no need to brag about that, no need at all.

At that moment, the master chuckled bitterly, “If Fellow Daoist Lu had been around during the ancient times, perhaps it wouldn’t have been so tragic.”

The Immortal Emperor couldn’t help but ask, “When did you learn weapon refinement?”

This level of weapon refinement skills, even the Immortal Realm is no match for Lu Changsheng!

“You never asked.”

Immortal Emperor: “…”

“Alright, since that’s the case, what can be done has been done, and all that’s left is to rearrange the personnel one last time.” The Immortal Emperor looked beyond the high mountain, a grave expression on his face, “We have less than two days left…”

Lu Changsheng nodded, “I still have other matters to attend to.”

Having said that, he pulled Shi Sheng and disappeared from the spot.

…

Immortal Realm Channel.

Evil aura had already spread throughout the entire channel! When Lu Changsheng entered, he could feel strands of Evil Demon Energy entwining around him!

Shi Sheng asked, “Master, what are we doing here?”

“Could it be…” Suddenly, Shi Sheng’s eyes lit up, “Master, are you planning to take me straight to their headquarters for a killing spree?”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but roll his eyes and knocked Shi Sheng on the head, “Kill your head, do you know how much commotion that would cause?”

Although Lu Changsheng had ways to take action without others noticing.

But if the vast Nefarious Demon Region just disappeared like that, wouldn’t it still draw the attention of those people Old Deng talked about?

At this moment, a voice came from the Heaven Suppressing Pagoda.

“So we’ve come to this step… Young friend, take the Heaven Suppressing Pagoda with you, it may help.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng turned to Shi Sheng and took out a gemstone imbued with a purple halo, handing it to Shi Sheng, “The purpose of bringing you here is to take away the Heaven Suppressing Pagoda.”

Shi Sheng was startled, “But if we take it, the suppressive power will disappear…”

“Don’t worry, the remaining suppressive power will withstand these last two days.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, “What’s more, there’s still some time left, and maybe I can still repair and improve the Heaven Suppressing Pagoda a bit.”

Under the examination of the Heaven Observation Eye, all of the flaws and needed repairs of the Heaven Suppressing Pagoda were clear in my heart!
