Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1313: Chapter 1281: Inverse Slash Rule of Six Dao Reincarnation

The radiant brilliance of the Great Sun illuminated the entire starry sky.

All the Taoist disciples instantly focused their minds, free of distractions.

Backstabbing, fearing death—

These were actions only those with tremendous power had the privilege to perform. At present, they lacked the influence needed to steer political tides and could only adhere to their sect’s rules, fighting to the death.

Moreover, in this era on the verge of Harmonization appearing, the lifespan granted by Refining Nothingness no longer was at its limit, and the importance of Taoist disciples had begun to factually decline.

As for the despicable insults and curses spoken by those mongrels… haha, those dogs, under the influence of the Eastern Devil School, would naturally fabricate excuses before attempting to kill them.

After all these years, it had become routine.

“Nine Heavens!”

The Heavenly Calculator Daoist shouted sharply.

With a single finger extended, from the world around him where Order had already manifested as a genuine reality, a Heaven Pillar-like abacus broke through the earth. Encircled by Tianji Order, it seemed to calculate the countless stellar transformations of the starry sky and the boundless cycles of life and decay in the human world, harmonizing and governing all directions. Its power was unmistakably formidable, far surpassing the Force Order wielded by the Netherworld Ancient Prince, who had merely stepped through its threshold.

Amid the vivid green world of Qingmu, an ancient emerald tree soared from the ground, spreading the power of Life Order throughout the land. Overflowing with vitality, its restorative capabilities allowed it to revive the dead and give flesh to bones in an instant. Even if its body were shattered, as long as a single piece of its flesh remained, it could swiftly recover.

Meanwhile, within the incense-laden Heavenly Palace world, a towering Vajra Xuanwu roared toward the heavens. The power of Immortal Order radiated outward, indestructible and unbroken. Its aura, overwhelmingly strong, elevated it to the ranks of the foremost Taoist disciples, its oppressive might immense, defying the youthfulness of its years.

And then there was the eerie power of Shadow Order;

Force Order erupted with the roars of myriad beasts—commanded by one whose mastery far surpassed the Netherworld Ancient Prince in this domain;

And the eternal dance of creation and dissolution embodied in the Five Elements Order, like the opening of the heavens itself…

The Nine Great Daoists, the Nine Orders, all were shining paths of the cosmic starry sky. Each was a broad and bright avenue, with infinite variations. Their might was unparalleled, suffocating in its pressure.

“Jiang Dingzi!”

The Xuanwu Daoist roared.

Following the deaths of the preceding generations of Xuanwu Daoists at the hands of the Dari Swordsman, the current successor, desperate to survive, had forsaken nearly all other pursuits, focusing solely on defense. This path aligned deeply with Xuanwu’s nature and resonated perfectly with his Immortal Order, pure and unwavering, solidifying his trajectory—perhaps explaining his meteoric rise in power.

Golden light blazed across the Xuanwu Daoist’s form. His body, as if forged from primordial Xuanwu Divine Metal, was adorned with golden armor that concealed every inch of him, including his pupils and strands of hair. He wielded a Sky-Supporting Giant Shield, defending both himself and the other Taoist disciples.

“Come and fight!”

The Xuanwu Daoist did not wait passively.

He faced the blazing Great Sun in the sky, holding the Sky-Supporting Giant Shield aloft, emanating an immense gravitational pull akin to the earth’s core. He actively absorbed all incoming danger, charging toward the sun to confront it head-on.

Around him, the terrifying treasures of the Nine Great Daoists—emerald branches, Heaven-Pillar abacuses, three thousand six hundred Wealth Attracting Coins, Five Elements Tower, and others—joined forces, launching their assault upon the heavens.

The destructive Great Sun descended right on schedule, striking the Sky-Supporting Giant Shield clutched in the Xuanwu Daoist’s hands. Half of the sun’s form seeped into the shield.

For a moment, the two forces reached a brief stalemate.

Boom!

A dazzling explosion—light pierced through countless dimensions of space!

The terrifying detonation shattered thousands of miles of space, Order fractured repeatedly, rules snapped under pressure. From the very outset, the combat exceeded the limits of the Divinity Transformation Stage, reaching the heights of Refining Nothingness, akin to the battles between Great Emperors of the Horned Ming Realm. It bore no resemblance to mere Divinity Transformation conflict.

Hua Teng, Huo Baosan, and others shuddered in shock.

This completely surpassed their racial inheritance boundaries, utterly unimaginable for cultivators of the Divinity Transformation Stage to wield such power.

To them, their rebellion was child’s play in the face of such destructive might.

Even the residual force was enough to obliterate them entirely—dissolving bodies and souls without a trace—if not for Gu Lin Heavenly Monarch manipulating the army formation to shield them.

The shattered spiritual light from the thousand-mile destruction gradually dispersed, revealing figures within.

“Ugh!”

The Xuanwu Daoist coughed blood, retreating with a grim expression.

Boom!

The supposedly indestructible Sky-Supporting Giant Shield, as thick as Mount Tai and vast as the ocean, forged from Xuanwu Divine Metal and refined over millennia as the life treasure of the Taoist disciple, now bore a horrifying hole at its very center.

At the outermost edge, the hole was merely two fingers wide, but deeper within, the cavity expanded abruptly into an abyssal chasm. Countless fragments of Divine Gold were shredded, unable to stop the Great Sun’s sword-light, which pierced through to strike the Xuanwu Daoist’s chest, forcing him to cough blood and retreat, his spiritual light dimmed, his armor shattered.

If not for the combined efforts of the surrounding abacuses, Heaven Green God Tree branches, Five Elements Tower, and Force Order of myriad roaring beasts, which strove to intercept and slow the sword’s speed while dissipating the sword-light’s energy, the Xuanwu Daoist would have already perished.

No chance of escape remained—this battle lacked parity between the two sides.

In an instant, the Nine Great Daoists shuddered, dispelling all thoughts of internal conflict and precautionary measures.

They fixed their gazes on the green-clothed youth in the distance.

A more intense feeling of foreboding death gnawed at their beings, forcing them to abandon lofty, far-flung concerns.

“You all—are indeed decent.”

As his sword fell, Jiang Ding revealed a thoughtful look and said, “However, it’s not enough. The Domain Starry Sky of limitless breadth teems with strong clans and powerful beings. Strength like yours is far from sufficient.”

“Like me, you remain weaklings nonetheless.”

The Xuanwu Daoist’s face drained of color.

By sheer chance, he landed near Ji Liuyue and An Tuzi. Taiyi Green Wood Qi surged into his body, rapidly healing his wounds.

An Tuzi extended a finger. Streams of life and death Order from the Five Elements Tower emerged, making contact with the Great Sun’s destructive sword qi and fusing with it. They self-annihilated at incredible speed, cleansing the remnants of hostile mana from the Xuanwu Daoist’s body and treasure, accelerating his recovery.

Within seconds, the Xuanwu Daoist returned to vitality, ready for combat with renewed vigor.

“Fight!”

Madness gleamed in his eyes. Once more, he gripped the towering Sky-Supporting Giant Shield, positioning himself before the other Taoist disciples, shielding them from the annihilating might of the Great Sun with an unyielding resolve.

Committing wholly to his Immortal Order, he held unwavering faith in his indestructibility and immortality.

Clang!

The sword was drawn again.

“Let me see why your Orders manifest as Rules…”

Jiang Ding’s gaze turned icy as it swept over the Nine Great Daoists’ realm of genuine reality. Gripping his sword hilt, he once again unsheathed his weapon, slashing down toward the nine thunderously spinning worlds.

Boom!

The radiant Great Sun blazed forth once again over heaven and earth.

This time, within the terrifying solar core, six chaotic vortices clearly appeared—Destruction, Law-Breaking, Elimination, Forbidden Law, Mutant, Primordial Magnet, and Sword Dao. The six Orders fused into the Six Dao Reincarnations, intertwining and converging into an infinitely radiant Sword Dao World plummeting down.

Though composed of Order, its power was unmistakably rule-like, shattering many Heaven and Earth Rules along its path, deranging the natural laws, and transforming into a blazing killing intent that seared into the Nine Great Daoists’ eyes.
