Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

”Haha!”

”Such insignificant tricks, you dare to use them before us?”

Facing the boundless barrage of shells, Xia Houding burst into laughter, not bothering to move, as the true disciples around him had already pinched their mana techniques, switching their positions according to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, with array patterns emerging.

Clay Giants, Green Wood Giants, Tiger Demon Giants... various battle formations lit up with brilliance.

Whether it was a Clay Giant Palm smashing down, heavy as a mountain, or countless tendrils piercing the air, wildly dancing like serpents, or the roar of a tiger’s mouth, with sound waves rippling and vibrating for several miles, all attacks were of the Golden Pill level.

Boom!

The countless armor-piercing shell group burst apart before they reached their designated positions, turning into a sky filled with Magic Arts-Breaking Steel shrapnel, posing no threat any longer.

The fierce howling of the sky was cleared in an instant.

Even as more than 300,000 tanks continuously spat flames, firing armor-piercing bullets, they still couldn’t break through the defense line of the Golden Pill warriors, allowing them to advance at great speed.

”We can’t beat them at all!”

Jin Lingfeng’s little face was taut, as she looked at the sky, beads of cold sweat breaking out.

Not just her, many of the true disciples from Xuanwu tiangong were the same, using just a portion of their mana to shred the canopy of armor-piercing shells, quickly breaking through.

The rest of their mana was poised and ready, with Divine Sense scanning the surroundings over and over again.

”Dari Swordsman, do you dare to fight me in single combat?”

Xia Houding, who was presiding over the thirty Golden Pill army formations, laughed heartily, ”I see that you’re still wet behind the ears, nothing more than a rat from the Eastern Devil School.”

He did his best to enrage his opponent.

”Very well!”

Clang!

A sound of a sword’s cry,

Along with a terrifying roar, a stream of Blue-Gold Sword Light appeared between heaven and earth. It no longer converged to a single point but instead formed a kilometers-wide Sword River of Heaven, slashing down towards Xia Houding and the twenty Golden Pill battle formations!

”Dari Swordsman!”

”Kill!”

Twenty true disciples trembled in their divine souls, dragged by the sword’s aura. Green Wood Giants, Tiger Demon Giants, Clay Giants, and others roared as they surged towards the sky,

Green Wood tendrils, Tiger Demon Giant claws, Clay Giant spheres... all sorts of attacks shielded the sky, filled with murderous intent, causing the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi within tens of kilometers to tremble ceaselessly.

Whoosh!

The Blue-Gold sword body had never been so dazzling, growing larger and larger, and even larger still!

Endless Sword Qi formed around the sword body.

It became the Sword River of Heaven, kilometers in size, flowing turbulently. Within the Blue-Gold river, the web-like Magic Arts-Breaking Immortal Gold array patterns shone brilliantly, akin to the blazing sun, naturally able to sever all spells.

The Sword River arrived in an instant,

Surging through the myriad of phenomena such as the layers of Green Wood tendrils, Tiger Demon Giant claws, Clay Giant spheres, and bursting through all of them.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion took place, countless Spiritual Lights collapsed, and spells like the Green Wood tendrils were shattered by the Sword River of Heaven. The battle formations fluctuated with energy.

Then, the now greatly diminished Sword River of Heaven slammed savagely onto a Golden Cauldron.

Boom!

Layers of Gold Light twisted, burst apart, shattered. The Sword River of Heaven struck against the wall of the Six-legged Golden Cauldron, giving off a crisp metallic clang. Both trembled from the terrible force, retreating several kilometers.

”You...”

Xia Houding was dumbstruck.

He watched in disbelief at the now much dimmed Sword River of Heaven in the distance, and his own Golden Cauldron, which for the first time had taken no damage from the collision, yet he couldn’t feel any joy.

”The Dari Swordsman is so strong…”

Jin Lingfeng and An Siyan were also stunned, but quickly recovered, gathering the armor-piercing shell group to attack the remaining ten Golden Pill battle formations, not allowing them any leeway.

”Xia Hou friend, since you are older, please enlighten me.”

In the sky, Jiang Ding’s face was also a bit pale, yet he was smiling; he had no dissatisfaction with this kind of besieged single challenge, but instead found it very reasonable.

”Gentlemen, receive another one of my swords!”

Clang!

The Sword River of Heaven rang with a clear sound. Within the azure, web-like Golden patterns intersected, frantically drawing in the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi from ten kilometers around. The sword river, which had dimmed and shrunken, recovered once more, and its golden web-like veins dazzled with Gold Light.

Divine Sense merely observed, and it was excruciating, being shredded into pieces.

Rustle...

The Sword River of Heaven swept away.

It left no gap for breathing.

Once more, it descended upon Xia Houding and the twenty True Disciples, with blue-gold droplets filling the sky, sharply piercing, composed of dense Sword Qi.

”Why is this a Foundation Establishment?!”

The scalp of many True Disciples of the Xuanwu tiangong tingled, fearing that even a group of Foundation Establishments falling into it would be instantly ground into a bloody froth!

”Kill!”

Roar!

Roar roar!

Under immense pressure, their faces contorted, Mana erupted, pouring into the Army Formation, Tiger Demons roaring, Sticky Earth Giants bellowing in anger, Green Wood Giants wildly swinging trees larger than themselves towards the sky... The twenty True Disciples went mad.

Boom!

The Sword River of Heaven fell again, the riverwaters surged backward, each droplet containing network-like, lustrous gold patterns, sparkling brightly.

There was no probing or detour, clashing head-on with the various Army Formation Magic spectacles.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion, countless Spiritual Lights shattered and broke apart, the standoff lasted a bit longer, but the result was no different.

The Tiger Demon’s sharp claws were forcibly cut off, a large tree representing part of the Green Wood Giant’s body was split apart, half of the Sticky Earth Giant’s body was continuously punctured, revealing thumb-sized holes that shone light through...

The Army Formations of the twenty True Disciples all suffered varying degrees of damage, looking at the sky in terror.

Ding!

The greatly reduced Sword River of Heaven crashed upon the Six-legged Golden Cauldron, blue-gold rivers flooded in, the thick golden light that was solid as a wall was pierced through, fragmented, the huge cauldron was again pushed back several kilometers, evenly matched.

”Magic Arts-Breaking Immortal Gold, far too terrifying!”

Xia Houding gritted his teeth, finally seeing some clues after two moves.

It wasn’t that his opponent’s combat strength was so terrifying that he pressed the twenty Golden Pills down, but rather those lustrous golden network patterns were too terrifying, any Magic would collapse upon contact, incapable of mounting any effective resistance.

And yet, the very nature of the Army Formation was to gather everyone’s strength to attack and kill with Magic!

”The third sword.”

Jiang Ding’s Mana rapidly depleted within, his complexion grew increasingly pale, yet his eyes shone even brighter.

With a flick of his finger, the Sword River of Heaven consumed ten kilometers of Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi, falling with a blaze of azure and golden splendor, Law-Breaking Sword Intent spreading far and wide, firmly locking onto every Divine Soul.

Rumble!

The Sword River of Heaven swept across the sky once again, the assembled bodies of Green Wood Giants, Tiger Demon Giants, and Sticky Earth Giants were scattered, their Spiritual Light dimmed.

In many places, terrifying blurred white dots appeared, signifying the permanent damage to Array Pattern nodes.

Ding!

The Six-legged Golden Cauldron was struck and repulsed again, layers upon layers of golden light around it washed away by the celestial river, nothing could stand in its way.

”Taoist disciples!”

”Our Army Formation is about to be breached.”

A few True Disciples cried out anxiously, clearly from the Golden Light Palace, the trusted among the trusted, always sharing honor and disgrace, with no possibility of false reporting.

”I am aware.”

Xia Houding snorted coldly, stepping out from the enveloping Army Formation for the first time.

Amid the roaring flight of Armor Piercing Bullets, he moved to the forefront of the battle, the Six-legged Golden Cauldron floating in the air, chaos within the cauldron boiling, a powerful authority emerging.

”Great Sun Swordsman!”

”This cauldron is named Spirit Heaven Tripod, modeled after the Heavenly Palace Treasure, Nine Heavenly Immortal Spirit Tripod.”

”Due to material limitations, there is only one.”

”There are another eight, named Heaven, Earth, Xuan, Yellow, Universe, Void, Vast, Primitive, all at the level of Magic Tool Embryo, using them forcibly once will result in their complete obliteration.”

Xia Houding held the cauldron above his head with both hands, pausing after each word.

”Please, sample a bit.”
