Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Within the burst of spiritual light on Heavenly Realm Mountain, two figures appeared.

One was an old man with a frosty expression.

The other, a youth with starry eyes and black hair.

Both were at the mid-stage of Divinity Transformation, without exception, fallings victims to the secret schemes of the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace’s Great Expert, never again able to break through their realm.

”Master...”

Canghai Heavenly Monarch’s lips moved slightly, silently mouthing two words, turning his gaze towards the youth with starry eyes and black hair.

”Sun Extinguisher brat!”

”How dare you insult me?”

The youth, Xu Yan, holding the Heavenly Sword, said coldly, ”Do you know that while I was fighting for the Xianmen Sect, dominating the battlefield at the God-transforming Level, you were nothing but a loafer, loitering all day long on Xiantu Tongluo Street?”

”Even your master is my junior!”

”And you dare act tough in front of me?”

”Bullshit!”

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch sneered, ”What are you but a stray hair?”

He impatiently picked his nose, flicking out a piece of snot the size of a fingernail cover, and with a bang, it shot like a bullet towards Xu Yan, disappearing into the spiritual light surrounding him.

”You dare bring up my master?”

”If that old ghost were not dead, today, he’d be the one to end you!”

”What’s wrong, you mangy dog? Don’t you dislike the so-called equality of all under the Xianmen Sect, thinking that various rules restrained you, longing for the hierarchy of the Immortal Sects where one stands above ten thousand, the Heavenly Monarch seated on the clouds, undisputed and unquestioned?”

”Today, I’ll give you a taste, to show you what it means to face the majesty of an Immortal Sect Heavenly Monarch. Can’t handle it now, can you?”

”Angry?”

”Hahaha!”

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch laughed heartily, ”So it turns out you only like being above ten thousand as an Outer Realm Cultivator, expecting reverence and subservience from lower-ranking cultivators, but dislike kowtowing when Outer Realm Cultivators face stronger forces, don’t you?”

”Outer Realm Cultivators know far better than you what the times demand.”

”They plunder recklessly when facing the weak, but against the strong, against the forces of the Immortal Sects, they become as supple as they need to be.”

”They understand that, since they bully the weak, they must also accept humiliation from those stronger than themselves.”

”Although I may not like it, I do acknowledge it.”

”But you...”

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch showed a look of disdain.

”...”

Xu Yan remained silent.

”Yes!”

”Upper Sect Heavenly Lord, you’re absolutely right,” Wang Zhongdao said respectfully, bowing with an apologetic tone, ”It’s my fault that I did not greet the Upper Sect Heavenly Lord from afar when he came long distances.”

”But it seems that we have signed a peace treaty with the Xianmen Sect, haven’t we?”

”Immortal Gate Citizens shall not attack us on their own initiative.”

”Upper Sect Heavenly Lord, could there be some misunderstanding?”

He spoke humbly.

”Hahaha!”

”Old King Bastard, you’re quite funny. Are you trying to stall for time?”

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch laughed heartily, yet he was not in a hurry.

The outside situation was alarmingly stable, so there was no worry that the Eight Great Immortal Sects would make a sneak attack affecting this place. There was plenty of time—insulting people thoroughly wasn’t something one enjoyed often.

”However, since it’s about the reputation of the Xianmen Sect, let me make an effort to explain,” said Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch leisurely and earnestly, ”I have already left the Xianmen Sect, and now, we brothers... plus a young friend, have established a sect called Dog-Slaying Sect, but there’s a problem.”

”Do you know what the problem is?”

Seeing his completely relaxed demeanor, not worried about changes in the outside situation at all, Wang Zhongdao felt a sense of dread, an ominous premonition.

Both remained silent, not speaking.

”What? Aren’t you showing face?”

Seeing no response from them, Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch’s expression darkened.

Clang!

Jiang Ding drew his sword.

Boom!

An ancient blue tree erupted from the ground, and sword qi freely swept about, piercing through the chaotic void, creating extraordinary visions in the world.

Within a radius of a thousand or more kilometers, in an instant, it was covered by rows of sword qi, a variety of Sword Intent, forming a true and genuine Sword Dao Realm phantom, spreading outwards.

Terrible wills of destruction, annihilation, forbidden laws, anomalies, and scorching heat permeated between heaven and earth.

Immortals of Nascent Soul were as insignificant as weeds.

Under such a Sword Domain, even a Spirit Transformation Heavenly Monarch would feel suffocated, their Divine Soul compressed, Mana slightly stagnating, and their Law Body experiencing various itchy sensations, as if about to give birth to a will.

This power far surpassed that of the mid-stage of Divinity Transformation!

Enormous Sword Dao Realm feathers, and the countless powers of Great Sun Destruction, Anomalies, Forbidden Laws, Ruin, and Annihilation.

All these descended upon Wang Zhongdao, causing his complexion to turn deathly pale in an instant, a sense of fear gripping his heart.

Jiang Ding’s eyes gleamed brutally as he glared at him.

Dari Swordsman!

The cultivators like Pingyang Heavenly Monarch at the early stages of God Transformation felt their scalps tingle.

Though they had prepared themselves mentally, when the Dari Swordsman truly revealed his killing intent, they couldn’t help but feel a strong alarm in their hearts, nearly turning to attack their own people in unity.

Is this motherfucker at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul?!!

”Dari... Swordsman...”

Wang Zhongdao wore a bitter expression.

At that moment, he immediately understood why the Heavenly Lords of Immortal Sects of past generations were so wary of the Nascent Soul stage Dari Swordsmen and reacted so strongly upon hearing of their advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Gulp!

”Upper Sect Heavenly Lord...”

With difficulty, Wang Zhongdao managed a faint smile, addressing the Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch: ”Upper Sect Heavenly Lord, are you encountering any difficulties in establishing a sect?”

”Very good!”

”This question is well asked.”

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch revealed a look of gratification: ”I, along with a bunch of brothers, taking along a kid as well, have left the Xianmen Sect. We intend to establish the Dog-Slaying Sect, which requires a place to settle down.”

”Sects all need a mountain gate after all.”

”That’s when I thought to myself, didn’t the Xianmen Sect produce an old beast once, called Xu Yan? Didn’t he always preach the survival of the fittest, that the strong should take what they want and the strong and their bloodline are born superior, forever noble, and to be passed down eternally?”

”Were there such words?”

A cold murderous intent began to emerge in Xu Yan’s eyes.

”These words are indeed truths.”

Without giving him a glance, Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch said with a smile: ”Upon reflecting on this, isn’t that why I’ve come to the two of you?”

”Loose cultivators, ah, have always respected the powerful, killing and seizing treasures.”

”You two are so weak yet occupy two Small Worlds; what is this?”

”This is a divine opportunity, afforded to those of virtue!”

”Immortal Sect Heavenly Monarch jests...”

Wang Zhongdao forced a smile: ”We, a few individuals, still possess the citizenship of Xianmen Sect. If you kill us, it’s akin to killing citizens of Xianmen Sect, and Xianmen will not let you off.”

The surrounding Heavenly Monarchs’ gazes sharpened.

Indeed, previously the Eight Great Immortal Sects had meticulously researched the culture, systems, and history of Xianmen Sect to disaggregate it.

The great powers of the Eight Great Immortal Sects deliberately preserved the citizenship of Xu Yan and a few of his descendants within the relatively equal environment of Xianmen Sect, creating a deliberate and significant inequality.

This left a bad taste in many people’s mouths.

At that time, it nearly caused social turbulence within the Xianmen Sect, almost leading to a civil war.

In the end, it took much time and effort from individuals like Yuan, Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch, and others to pacify the situation, and society gradually adapted to this anomaly.

But citizens must not die abnormally.

Even if they were mere mortals.

”Ha ha!”

”There’s no need for you to worry about that.”

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch’s demeanor was relaxed as he shook his head: ”Before coming here, the administering Yuan had already expelled both of you on charges of refusing military service, along with all the other people who refused the summons of Xianmen Sect and failed to fulfill their citizen’s duty of military service during the last Domain war.”

”This is not aimed at you alone. At the same time, tens of thousands of people have been punished and expelled from the borders of Xianmen.”

The Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch took out a stack of documents, tossed them casually, and hundreds of files landed in front of Xu Yan, Xu Jianian, Immortal Tianfang, True Monarch Gui Wang, and all those with citizenship rights. Then he recorded the deliverance as evidence to signify the legal effect, regardless of whether anyone destroyed them.

Very meticulous.

”No! Impossible!”

”This is illegal!”

Immortal Tianfang, Xu Jianian, and others who saw the citizenship revocation documents turned pale and roared in anger.

Their last glimmer of hope had been shattered.

The tight protection of citizens by Xianmen Sect no longer applied to them; this identity had been stripped away, and they were about to face what they had always longed for and always talked about—the survival of the fittest and the supremacy of the strong.

”The legality is for the Citizens’ Assembly to decide, not you.”

”Alright, idle talk is over, the procedure is complete.”

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch’s smile faded as he looked towards the sixteen-year-old boy at the end of the group: ”When traveling, respect for the elderly and love for the young are slogans hanging at the entrance of the Tourism Bureau.

”Jiang Ding, you choose one first.”

”Thank you, senior.”

”I’ll take Xu Yan; his grandson picked on me.”

Jiang Ding nodded, gripped the hilt of his sword, and walked toward the black-haired, starry-eyed young man.
