Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

”Thus it is good.”

Chenshan King felt reassured in his heart: ”This Slave King, at first glance, is someone who harbors great resentment towards the Imperial Clan. If he cannot be controlled, he must be eliminated quickly.”

”Ha ha!”

”Seventh Uncle, rest assured.”

Yanliu Imperial Child was unperturbed: ”Not only the Blood River King harbors resentment towards the Imperial Clan. I see that at least seventy to eighty percent of the Slave Kings among the many Slave Clans are like this.”

”No matter, no matter.”

”They’re but weaklings akin to ants. If they didn’t harbor resentment, I would be more worried.”

”It seems... indeed it is so.”

Chenshan King smiled dumbly.

Indeed, servants, blood meals, and the like, possessing intelligence—besides a few exceptions, it would be strange if they didn’t harbor resentment.

The leader of the Magic Stone Clan stood respectfully on the spot, not partaking in any topics concerning the rulers of the Imperial Clan.

”Seventh Uncle, can we still strive for the loyalty of many kings…”

Yanliu Imperial Child asked with a slight concern.

At this moment, he, having undergone trials, was rapidly growing up and was not as naive as he appeared on the outside—often he was subconsciously putting on an act for the outside world.

”Difficult, Imperial Child.”

”I have already spread the news that Blood River King is your avatar. The kings have gone from extremely angry to very angry, which is a slight improvement, but it still accomplishes nothing.”

Chenshan King said solemnly.

”On the moral high ground, we have already lost.”

”In this situation, the only options are to kill, to slaughter, to strike terror into them, shedding blood until rivers form, as the heads of kings fall in succession, blood spattering the starry sky.”

”Then, they will crawl at your feet like dogs once again, their anger no longer an issue.”

...

In the distant void outside the Magic Vine Minor Realm.

Jiang Ding silently watched as slave seeds began to appear in his Divine Soul, spreading through his Divine Soul and flesh like a spider web, countless filaments intertwining innumerably.

This was the price he had to pay to gain the trust of Flame Stone Great Emperor.

If victorious, all would be well as it was only the early stage of the slave seed, and if not victorious, the Master of Refining Nothingness and Xianmen Sect had the capability to remove the slave seed.

Even if they did not, it was the fate of Blood River King himself.

This aligned with Blood River King’s own principle of the survival of the fittest—he had to accept it, even if it meant death.

Jiang Ding only needed to fulfill his own promises.

”’Dao Heart Seed Demon Slave Scripture’…”

Jiang Ding carefully pondered this Great Emperor Scripture.

This was indeed a slave scripture, but it was also a Great Emperor Scripture, encapsulating the methods to ascend to Great Emperor, the mysteries of advancing through Refining Nothingness, all of which genuinely exist and are of supreme value to the Xianmen Sect.

The only shortcoming was that it was incomplete, missing the middle and final sections.

Moreover, due to being constantly monitored by Flame Stone Great Emperor, he couldn’t communicate with his original body or Xianmen Sect to pass on this scripture; he could only wait for the ultimate victory.

After studying the scripture for some days, Jiang Ding’s gaze shifted slightly, looking towards the Magic Vine Minor Realm.

Accompanied by the soaring light of the Teleportation Formation, a large group of enraged leaders from the Horned Demon Imperial Clan appeared in the Magic Vine Minor Realm. They first paid their respects to the Moye Family, then began to frantically search across the world.

Naturally, they found nothing.

Although Blood River King’s Concealment ability could not match that of Taoist disciples, deceiving these Horned Demon Imperial Clan leaders wasn’t a problem.

Not to mention, Blood River King was not in the Magic Vine Minor Realm at all.

...

Months later.

”Imperial Child,”

Demon Leaf King’s eyes were bloodshot, and in a single night, his hair had turned a greying white, and he had aged significantly. After giving his respects, he said in a low voice: ”We haven’t found the Blood River King, this servant; the kings have turned the entire Magic Vine Minor Realm inside out, and have found no trace of him, not even a residue of his aura.”

”The Slave King is an expert in the Art of Concealment.”

”He may have, already left this Minor Thousand World.”

Although Yanliu Imperial Child declared that Blood River King was his incarnation, mitigating many adverse political impacts, many kings remained skeptical, including Demon Leaf King who continues to address him as Blood River King.

”Blood River King has left the Magic Vine Minor Realm...”

Cangkong Imperial Child frowned deeply.

The Domain is vast, with many Minor Thousand Worlds dispersed and endless voids, making it too simple to hide a king within.

He looked around.

All the kings appeared to be at a loss.

”Is there any king skilled in Cause and Effect prediction?”

Cangkong Imperial Child asked.

All the surrounding kings looked simultaneously at an old crone.

She came from the Cangyan Ancient Emperor Family, named King Mist Guide.

”Imperial Child.”

”This old body has calculated some clues; however, they are very vague. Blood River King’s Concealment ability is notable, he’s presumably not in this Minor Thousand World.”

King Mist Guide’s voice was hoarse: ”This exceeds my abilities.”

”If you could invite my sister, King Spider Star, she might be able to pinpoint Blood River King’s whereabouts.”

”King Spider Star...”

Cangkong Imperial Child paused, not continuing the conversation.

King Spider Star, as one of the Imperial Clan Guards of the Cangyan Ancient Emperor’s Son, is highly valued and considered a Forbidden Tutorial, almost impossible to lend out to become somebody else’s guard.

Moreover, there is a deep feud between Cangkong Imperial Child and the Cangyan Ancient Emperor’s Son.

This involves power struggles within the Cangyan Ancient Emperor Family.

The situation thus became deadlocked.

Cangkong Imperial Child stayed in the Magic Vine Minor Realm for several years, continually drilling his army, growing increasingly formidable and powerful, yet he forever failed to locate Blood River King.

One day, Demon Leaf King arrived, his face full of killing intent, with news.

”Imperial Child.”

Demon Leaf King bowed and spoke respectfully: ”In the Flower Cloud Minor Realm, Yellow Sand Minor Realm, Mountain Minor Realm... in all our Minor Worlds, traces of Blood River King have been found.”

”He has appeared.”

”It could be an incarnation, or it could be his true body.”

Demon Leaf King, his eyes bloody, coldly said: ”He has annihilated dozens of general-ranked families, across every Minor Thousand World, slaughtering over two hundred thousand. Our entire army is starting to be unsettled, many generals are secretly contacting Emperor Yanliu, pledging allegiance to protect their family lives.”

”If this continues unchecked, millions of our troops might collapse without a fight.”

”Blood River King!”

Cangkong Imperial Child’s vision darkened.

He knew, he could no longer wait, he must split his forces.

Otherwise, the army would disperse, the kings would disperse, their rage however vast is finite, as time passes, cold calculated interests will take precedence, spontaneously selecting the Imperial Child who best represents the interests of the kings.

”Split the forces!”

”Divide into teams of more than ten kings each, head to different Minor Worlds, to hunt down Blood River King.”

”If attacked, immediately fortify with Formation Methods, await help from all sides, and execute this slave king, to uphold the Imperial Clan’s principles!”

Cangkong Imperial Child’s eyes shone fiercely, resentfully commanding: ”Before leaving, gather the Kings of the Flame Stone Family, place restrictions within their Divine Souls, have them lead the charge; any resistance, execute on the spot!”

He had already started to disregard decency and protocol.

It was Emperor Yanliu who first broke the limits, one cannot blame him.

”Yes!”

The kings thunderously agreed, none opposed, except for the kings of the Flame Stone Family, whose faces were extremely unsightly.
