Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

In the alarmed gazes of everyone, Blood River Sword Light suddenly erupted without a hint of hesitation and cleaved upon the body of Yanliu Imperial Child.

Yanliu Imperial Child, compared to this sword-light, was as insignificant as an ant.

However,

Clang!

Just as the towering Blood River Sword Light was about to bisect the Yanliu Imperial Child and devour all essence blood to turn into ashes, it halted abruptly, striking upon an unexpectedly appearing fiery red light screen, sparking a shower of Mars.

The Blood River Sword Light reeled back as if struck by thunderous punishment, instantly suffering severe damage.

Even, that streak of fiery light did not attack, merely the rebound force itself dispersed the sword-light of an invincible ruler.

That streak of fiery light screen was so exquisitely thin, only the size of a strand of hair, with threads of crimson flame hue flowing across it, and even Chaos Qi, containing an unknown power that made it extraordinary in an instant.

”...Quasi-Emperor Order, Formation Method...”

Jiang Ding slowly closed his eyes, tightly gripping his Blood River Sword which was trembling non-stop, filled with immense fear.

It, under a single strike, had already suffered heavy damage!

The fiery red light screen didn’t even attack!

Moreover, the Formation Method’s radiance did not contain any rebounding Magic, resembling a mere mortal’s wooden sword striking an iron ingot, resulting in a shock injury.

Such Formation Methods had another designation within the Xianmen Sect, the Quasi-Sixth Order Formation!

These Formation Methods were fundamentally the strongest ones set up within a Minor Thousand World, and anything more powerful must involve the Starry Sky, related to composite formations of multiple Minor Thousand Worlds. A single Minor Thousand World simply couldn’t power a Sixth Order Formation; even if set up, it wouldn’t manifest its might.

The most distinct feature of Quasi-Sixth Order Formations was that they possessed the Power of Order!

The Power of Order, a lesser derivative of the Rule Power of Masters of Refining Nothingness, stemmed from a power generated by a complete Immortal Path cycle within a minor world, although far from the potency of Rule Power, it held a Sovereign-like crushing force over beings below the stage of Refining Nothingness.

Take, for example, the Last Great Sun Sword Master Xi Yuan; in the instant he ascended to the Divinity Transformation Stage, he mastered the Grest Sun Power of Order, becoming a Quasi-Sixth Order being.

This was the Domain peerless elite who personally slaughtered the Nine Great Daoists.

The previous generation Dari Swordsman, Zhong Guangzi was even stronger. He had completed the Sword Dao trial of slaying the Nine Great Daoists and was even near to a breakthrough in understanding the Power of Order within the Nascent Soul Stage.

Regrettably, fate was not on his side at that time, and as the Last Great Sun Sword Master fell in battle, a Master of Refining Nothingness took the field personally, and Zhong Guangzi was killed by the Great Powers of the Nine Great Immortal Sects.

Of course, according to the individual histories documented by the Nine Great Immortal Sects, it seemed as if each had accomplished it on their own and the other Eight Great Immortal Sects merely played some minor assisting roles.

”Oh?”

”You wretched slave, you actually know of the Quasi-Emperor Order Formation Method?”

The Yanliu Imperial Child sitting on the flame throne had already regained his composure, his eyes filled with a brutal light: ”Don’t worry, you won’t die that easily, I will let you witness the most cruel punishments in the world, the most meticulous torment, you will enjoy one by one the techniques of penalization accumulated by the Imperial Clan over countless ten-thousands of years.”

He made no effort at all to disguise his intentions.

Just as the Blood River King had said, his acting skills were poor, utterly clumsy. In front of an old Cultivator like the Blood River King, who had lived through vicissitudes for over four thousand years, his pretense was as clear as if written on his face, deceiving no one.

”Very well.”

”The grandeur of the Flame Stone Family, truly remarkable.”

Jiang Ding did his utmost to soothe the constantly quivering Blood River Sword, his voice deep and low: ”A potential Slave Emperor, to give up without any hesitation, resolute as such.”

”I truly did not anticipate this beforehand.”

”You short-sighted wretched slave, how would you comprehend the depth of the Imperial Clan?”

Yanliu Imperial Child sneered disdainfully, full of scorn.

”Clap clap!”

He clapped his hands.

”Spare me!”

”Spare me, oh great one, our sect’s old ancestor is the Blood River King, I implore you...”

”I dare not...”

Outside the palace, a series of pitiful cries resounded.

Jiang Ding’s gaze was indifferent, unmoved.

The cries grew closer and closer, until at the gate of the palace, two cultivators of the Human Race, whose flesh and blood were so mangled they were nearly unrecognizable as human, were dragged by the Imperial Clan Guards. Crimson bloodstains trailed behind them on the ground.

They were the True Lord of the Sturdy Rock and Purple Stone True Person from the Mountain Suppressing Sect.

Their entire bodies were a mess of flesh and blood, with bones exposed in many places and viscera spilling out. There wasn’t a single unharmed spot on them. Within their mutilated flesh, their Divine Souls were subjected to a torture a hundred times more terrifying. Even an Immortal of Nascent Soul who had climbed up from the very bottom couldn’t endure it, pleading miserably, simply wishing for a swift death.

”Blood River King.”

”Do you recognize these two runaway slaves?”

The Yanliu Imperial Child watched carefully for any expression on the Blood River King’s face, as if appreciating a bottle of exquisite wine, not missing any detail that could bring joy.

To his disappointment, the Blood River King was very calm.

As if the two being dragged into the hall were not the last Inheritance Disciples he had painstakingly sent out from his sect, the last hope of his sect, but rather just wild grass by the roadside, unworthy of any concern.

”Yanliu, you have a good father.”

”As a Great Emperor, he still willingly accompanies you in these childish acts, just to make you happy.”

Jiang Ding spoke evenly, ”However, you will sooner or later understand that such death, such despair, will inevitably appear in the lives of the strong—no one is exempt.”

”In my life, I have gone through countless joys and sorrows, bidding farewell to numerous loved ones.”

”What of these then?”

Those who could easily see through his techniques were only the Great Emperors, even an Ancient Imperial Son would spend some effort, it wasn’t so easy.

”Hahaha!”

”You this servant, are quite interesting, very interesting indeed!”

The Yanliu Imperial Child clapped the armrest, laughing boisterously, carefree: ”Since you don’t care, then forget it, I have already sent people to slaughter the Mountain Suppressing Sect. Soon, my subordinates will send back the pictures of the slaughter.”

”I have already ordered, to execute one disciple of the Mountain Suppressing Sect per day, no more, no less. Blood River King, you can appreciate it carefully, let this lowly slave experience a bit more.”

”Aren’t you tempering your Dao Heart?”

”Whatever you need, I will give you that much. If you think it’s not enough, I’ll have the cultivators of the Human Race in the Flame Stone Star Domain executed one by one. How about that?”

”Experiencing the vicissitudes of life, tempering your Dao Heart, hahaha...”

He laughed uproariously, leaning back and forth, nearly falling from his Flame Throne.

”Yes, indeed very entertaining.”

Jiang Ding also smiled faintly, sheathing the Blood River Sword, drawing it once again.

Buzz!

This time, the sword did not tremble, not because it touched the power of the Quasi-Emperor Order and trembled, not even able to carry out a normal strike. Instead—it was extremely excited.

When Jiang Ding placed his hand on the hilt, the world fell silent.

A terrifying aura of destruction, Law-Breaking, Forbidden Law, mutation, and annihilation emerged between heaven and earth, a wave of invisible ripples spread out in all directions, and the grand and majestic Flame Imperial Palace froze at this moment. Many flames were forcibly dispersed, revealing the grey-white walls of the palace.

The Spiritual Immortal Particles were forcibly scattered!

”What is this...”

The Yanliu Imperial Child, who was laughing back and forth, suddenly lost his voice.

Boom!

A round of Grest Sun!

Shining between heaven and earth!

This was a splendid golden sun, without a trace of impurity, of supreme existence, containing destruction, mutation, and the Elimination Method. The sun of the Domain Ruler, the Grest Sun, descended upon the world for the first time, annihilating the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi within thousands of miles and pressing down upon the Imperial Child on the Flame Throne.
