Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

The target could not be destroyed,

merely because it was not strong enough!

What resistance, what specialized evolution, it was only because the heat and sharpness were not enough; there were no other reasons.

In the sight of everyone, the nine Great Sun discs broke free from their restraints, winding their way and colliding with the Palm Sea Kingdom where the Yin Yang Qi circulated.

The first Great Sun disc fell into the Palm Sea Kingdom!

An explosion caused turmoil, countless beings died, the sea was stained with blood, the Hairy Spirits collapsed, the giant palm shook uncontrollably, Primordial Heavy Water surged continuously, steam rose unceasingly, extinguishing the Great Sun.

”Extinguished...”

Before the sea creatures could rejoice,

the second and third Great Sun discs thunderously fell!

Amid the intense explosion, dazzling light shone, endless heat rose, and sharp Sword Qi spread in all directions, distorting the Palm Sea Kingdom, it rocked and swayed, as beings and Incense Fire Hairy Spirits died off in droves.

The Palm World was enveloped in boundless steam.

Next,

the fourth, fifth... the eighth Great Sun discs!

Endless heat, endless light!

Crack!

Boom!

The Palm Sea Kingdom infused with the Innate Eight Trigrams chessboard finally could not hold on, fingers broke, the palm shattered, the sea formed by Primordial Heavy Water evaporated greatly, and among the Sea Clan beings, Incense Fire Hairy Spirits more than ninety-nine percent perished, no longer maintaining their chanting postures or receiving the worship of the masses in their resplendent splendor.

”How dare you...”

Seeing his Life Treasure damaged, Zhong Yuanzi flew into a rage.

Boom!

The ninth Great Sun disc, at last, descended.

This was the last one, gathering the residual power of the previous eight Great Sun discs, its might unimaginably strong.

As soon as it appeared, the will to shatter prohibitions dominated the area within a hundred miles, all living things, including the Xuanwu Daoist from the Xuanwu tiangong, experienced a sluggish Divine Soul, bodies bearing tremendous pressure, barely able to move.

Boom!

The Great Sun disc landed atop Zhong Yuanzi’s head, accumulating boundless light, boundless heat.

”Innate Eight Trigrams chessboard!”

Zhong Yuanzi roared.

He bit the tip of his tongue, spraying out a mouthful of Essence Blood, which fell onto the chessboard arrayed thirty-six across and thirty-six down in front of him.

Hum!

In an instant, the chessboard rose into the sky, with thirty-six white pieces vertically and thirty-six black pieces horizontally, each weaving back and forth, forming a black and white interlocking prison between heaven and earth.

Within it, spatial ripples faintly visible, crisscrossing thirty-six times, created thirty-six layers of heaven, seemingly thin but actually spanning ten thousand miles of space, containing the essence of space, able to secure an invincible position by nature.

All of this was completed in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

The ninth Great Sun disc exploded mightily.

A mushroom cloud akin to a nuclear explosion rose, space melted away like ice and snow, and its power did not disperse, but was entirely focused on the Daoist from Xuanwu.

Crack!

Crack crack crack...

In the instant it came into contact with the nuclear-like Great Sun, the black and white chessboard emitted a dense series of cracking sounds, indicating the spatial squares within it shattering, the black and white heavenly prison undergoing a separation process, with one spatial chessboard square needing to be completely destroyed before affecting the next.

At that moment, as far as the eye could see, in front of the focused explosive power of the nuclear-like Great Sun, section after section of the spatial chessboard shattered, collapsing, while red flames of destruction spread throughout.

Starting from a single point, in the span of a breath, it spread to half of the chessboard, bringing destruction everywhere it went.

”Space!”

Zhong Yuanzi’s scalp tingled, Mana from within his body pouring crazily into the Innate Eight Trigrams chessboard, creating one spatial chessboard square after another with spatial techniques, desperately trying to stop the spread of the destructive Great Sun.

The two sides were deadlocked at the center of the chessboard for a time.

In the end,

they could not hold back.

Within the next breath, the red flames of the destructive Great Sun power surged like a tide, smashing through Zhong Yuanzi’s desperately constructed spatial defenses, obliterating everything, spreading to the entire chessboard, and exploding violently.

Boom!

In the midst of this horrific nuclear explosion, endless brilliance and heat burst forth; all the spaces on the black and white chessboard gave way, and the cultivators could do nothing but place the chessboard itself—which had been refined to the pinnacle of a Nascent Treasure—in front of them. The sky was littered with the shattered pieces of black and white stones scattering in all directions.

A moment later,

”Ah!”

After the devastating explosion, a dark figure screamed as it was hurled backward, its aura plunging rapidly from its peak.

”Taoist disciples…”

Millions of Xuanwu tiangong cultivators, who were in a standoff with the Xianmen Sect fleets, were struck by terror as their Formation Methods descended into chaos. Their cannon fire breached the barrier of the water realm, causing countless casualties.

”You,”

”are weaker than the previous Grest Sun Swordsman, Zhong Guangzi!”

Tens of kilometers away, a dark figure halted with a dangling left arm, the backlash of the shattered Palm Sea Kingdom. He stared intently ahead.

”Yet, stronger than the Daoist disciples of the Eight Great Immortal Sects by a bit!”

Zhong Yuanzi embraced the Innate Eight Trigrams chessboard radiating dim Spiritual Light, taking a deep breath.

This outcome was somewhat hard to accept.

The strength of an individual from the Eastern Devil School shouldn’t have been so formidable; the few chapters that leaked from the Great Sun Sword Pavilion were nowhere near enough to support the birth of a Dari Swordsman, completely defying common sense.

”If I were to continue, I could still hold on, with a three to four in ten chance of success. If the Army Formation works in my favor, it could add another one to two points to my chances. It might not be impossible to slay this foe and achieve an unprecedented feat.”

”But...”

Zhong Yuanzi calculated in his heart for a moment and sank when he found the answer.

Without any hesitation, he executed a Mana Technique with his hands, and the surrounding space became chaotic with a roaring sound. The power of the Earth’s core magnetic forces erupted, with both gravitational and repulsive forces acting upon him, transforming into a massive propulsive force.

This was an escape method he had prepared well in advance!

Before the battle had even begun.

Zhong Yuanzi disappeared in an instant.

The Xuanwu Daoist had actually fled.

He fled before the battle showed any clear signs of collapse, with absolute decisiveness.

”He fled?”

”You knew?”

Jiang Ding was slightly surprised, then understood.

”Right, you should indeed know.”

Boom!

In the sky, amidst flashes of lightning and peals of thunder, billions of electromagnetic lines burst forth. The wind surged and clouds roiled as a Giant Iron Ship broke through space, appearing before everyone’s eyes.

Its oppressive might spread out for thousands of kilometers, as countless warships and Air-Space Warplanes instinctively resonated with it, ready to act under its command at a moment’s notice.

This was imprinted into the most fundamental layer of logic.

Under the sunlight, the steel body of the ship with its sleek and exquisite curves glittered brilliantly, possessing a natural harmony and allure that instinctively attracted the gaze of onlookers, making it difficult to look away.

Powerful, yet beautiful.

The super battleship Great Sun Battleship!

She was one of the pinnacle creations of the Immortal Path from the Eastern Devil School,

She was the monarch among warships!

She was equivalent to the dazzling achievements of an Immortal Sects’ Daoist disciple’s Domain, possessing the potential to dominate the Domain in the future. In both status and strength, she was not inferior to the Daoist disciples of the Immortal Sects.

”Super battleship...”

Ouyang Hui and the others couldn’t help but be captivated by its beauty, unable to resist the allure of its curvature. No citizen of the Immortal Sects could resist it.

Sizzle...

Endless thunderclouds and billions of electromagnetic lines surrounded it, as the barrel of the Magnetic Cloud Splitting Star Cannon gleamed with a ghostly blue light, frenziedly gathering thousands of kilometers of Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi, all pouring into the cannon.

Inside the barrel, one by one, the seventy-two Electromagnetic Accelerators within the six Heavenly Gang Electromagnetic Prohibitions were activated, casting a terrifying killing intent in all directions.

”...Locking on...”

”...Locking on...”

The clear voice of Ship Spirit Cloud Day emanated.

Her Spirit Particle Sonar electromagnetic waves covered thousands of kilometers, penetrating deep into the layers of space, scanning swiftly to lock onto the core of the Divine Soul, the core of the flesh and blood, and the core of the Life Treasure.

The ghostly blue light in the muzzle of the cannon grew brighter and brighter.
