Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Chapter 1495: Chapter 1463: Fellow Daoists of the Nine Spirits Realm, I miss you greatly

Within the millions of corpses, the Nine Great Daoists were fighting fiercely, risking their lives, their eyes bloodshot, surrounded by the foul stench of blood and fallen corpse fragments, like a hell on earth.

At the center of the sweat-soaked struggle of the Nine Great Daoists, a green-clothed youth was walking as if on a leisurely spring outing.

He looked left and right, occasionally stopping to take out tools to collect samples of the battlefield’s corpses or new materials like special ores, to enrich the Xianmen Library’s database and lay the foundation for future Ancient Divine Domain material research.

This scene was somewhat discordant.

Obviously, everyone around was fighting desperately, yet he was strolling around like a carefree person, as if he was a child sneaking out to play, lacking the solemnity a battlefield should have.

Moreover, when the Nine Great Daoists began to push back, he frowned.

“Too fast.”

“Don’t show too much strength, or those nine won’t come over.”

Jiang Ding said discontentedly.

He wasn’t interested in the Nine Great Daoists of the Ancient Divine Domain, but these cultivators’ existence could promote the growth of the Heavenly Calculator Daoist and others, maybe being of use in the future and sparking some interest from the Taiqing Flying Sword—

At this moment, Jiang Ding truly shared Xi Yuan’s sentiment.

This domain was too barren, the opponents too weak, it was truly unbearable.

Unable to return to the Upper Realm, the Thunder Sun Heavenly Sword Realm bore too many grudges, and the Implements Sect wasn’t a good thing either, the whole world full of dishonorable villains.

Just a Nascent Soul Cultivator, yet they dared use two Harmonization God Monarchs to besiege.

Can’t imagine what they would do to a Refining Nothingness Cultivator?

This truly made young cultivators fearful.

Young, he indeed was young.

For a cultivator with above Harmonization potential, thousands of years were no different from a human baby at three or four years old, still a child.

At least for one beyond Harmonization, this age indeed was that of a child.

“You!”

Ji Liuyue, amidst the battle, immediately glared.

While fighting fiercely, there was someone strolling beside her, completely within their protective range, not moving an inch outward, yet making snide remarks, she couldn’t stand it.

“Hmm?”

Jiang Ding was unashamed, immediately glaring back at her.

“… You’re right.”

“Dari Swordsman.”

Ji Liuyue instantly became meek and said obediently, “We’ll slow down then. Xuanwu, do you want to be seriously injured and cough blood? I promise to heal you.”

“Go ahead.”

“Cough blood, break your hand, all of these are okay.”

Xuanwu Daoist sighed lightly.

Losing a hand or a foot for a high-level cultivator indeed was a severe injury, but only if it involved invasion by alien forces and destruction of vitality. If it were self-induced separation, then it was merely scary on appearance.

From the outside, it seemed like the Nine Great Daoists had reached a limit, the ensuing battles became much more brutal.

Xuanwu Daoist’s Sky Dome Giant Shield gradually couldn’t entirely defend, developed cracks, and then shattered, exposing the giant shield body refined from Xuanwu Divine Metal, starting to withstand with its material strength, numerous bloody, deep-to-the-bone wounds appearing on Xuanwu Daoist.

Ji Liuyue descended with beams of Taiyi Green Wood light for healing, yet he quickly was seriously injured again.

Daoist Wanshou, Yu Qianzi were also showing injuries, An Tuzi had no choice but to step up, although he was not a body cultivator, his defense was strong, he had to step in too.

The fight started to stalemate, dangers became narrowly survived.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ding continued collecting specimen, occasionally calming to comprehend the rule differences between the Ancient Divine Domain and the Tianyuan Domain, with the Power of Order of the six Great Sun as a pivot.

The subtle differences would affect the combat power of Refining Void, Harmonization cultivators.

That is, the Immortal Sect Central Group Army had yet to recover peak combat power, needing at least hundreds of years of adaptation, the Eight Great Immortal Sects Great Experts were the same.

Additionally, Jiang Ding devoted some mental effort to comprehend the power bestowed upon him by the Nine Great Daoists formation.

Ji Liuyue’s vine armor brought defense and healing, An Tuzi’s Five Elements Magic amplified power, Mana and Divine Soul recovery speed increased, Heavenly Calculator Daoist brought foresight, Divine Sense reaction speed hastened, Yu Qianzi brought stronger attack capability, Mana became much more incisive, the Shadow Demon’s concealment…

Under such abilities and states, even an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator could possess near Refining Void power.

If such empowerment fell on an Early Stage Void Refining Practitioner, this practitioner could withstand a Late Void Refining Stage cultivator without defeat briefly.

Even such fearsome might!

A condensation of wisdom crystal of tens of thousands of years of Nine Spirits Realm cultivators, generations of Great Experts and Daoists deduced, practiced, and perfected this formation—one of the highest Immortal Path achievements of Nine Spirits Realm spanning tens of thousands of years.

No choice, without this formation, they’d have been wiped by the Great Sun Sword Pavilion long ago.

“Unfortunately… too weak.”

Jiang Ding sighed slightly in his heart.

This kind of enhancement was completely useless to him.

Unless all nine of them had the strength of Upper Realm Immortal Sect Inheritors, only then could they significantly augment Jiang Ding and impact a battlefield at the Upper Realm Immortal Sect Disciple level.

Boom!

No one knew how long it took, accompanied by the joint attack of the Nine Great Daoists, the strongest Weaving Sky Spider beast corpse shattered into countless fragments, and the tens of thousands of corpse tides around collapsed instantly, fleeing in all directions.

The stench-filled fragments of beast corpses fell like rain, landing beside the Heavenly Calculator Daoist and others.

They were in a miserable state now, with severed limbs, faces as white as death, their mana severely depleted, weakened to the extreme.

Yes, including the green-clothed youth in the center.

His face was pale, his body swayed constantly, his eyes dull, as if hosting the formation had consumed too much of his mental energy, already on the verge of exhaustion.

“Go take a look at that shattered grand hall.”

“There seems to be some harvest inside, regarding the cultivation of Ancient Divine Path War Beast Dao Soldiers.”

Jiang Ding stepped towards a distant crumbling black palace, and the Daoists with broken arms and legs hurriedly picked up their severed limbs and quickly followed.

“Wait for me, slow down…”

Ji Liuyue was busy treating the surrounding Daoists, reconnecting severed limbs, but the green-clothed youth ignored her.

The group reached the ruined palace, finding that the many original buildings and sealed treasures inside had been shattered, leaving only the very center, where a black stone pillar flickered with a faint light.

“It must be a treasure.”

“Xuanwu, you first please.”

Jiang Ding ignored the wretched injuries on Xuanwu Daoist and kindly offered.

“Wait a moment.”

“Coming right now.”

Xuanwu Daoist nodded calmly.

He reattached his severed arm, then placed his hand on the black stone pillar, inputting mana and Divine Sense, closing his eyes slightly, and then opening them.

“This place is called the Beast God Temple, previously a site where the Ancient Divine Path’s direct disciples cultivated their War Beast Dao Soldiers.”

“After passing tests, Ancient Divine Path direct disciples could choose a batch of War Beast species embryos here, cultivating them as Dao Soldiers to grow alongside them… Theoretically, only true direct disciples of the Ancient Divine Path were eligible, but now it appears many changes have occurred outside, formations have been broken, knowledge leaked, and now we can also claim.”

A soft light flashed in Xuanwu Daoist’s hand, revealing over a thousand spider eggs, one of which was especially large, seemingly a creature akin to a spider matriarch.

Curious gazes from surrounding Daoists fixed on them.

These eggs seemed to be the larval form of one of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Clans’ seven ruling species, the Weaving Sky Spider clan, capable of becoming Dao Soldiers once hatched.

“Only spider eggs, no related inheritance.”

Xuanwu Daoist lamented a bit.

Of course, it was only a bit; actually, he would not regard these Dao Soldiers as the foundation of his Dao path, even if their full inheritance was intact.

“It seems the relentless exploration of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Clans and Devil God Sect over tens of thousands of years has yielded many results.”

Jiang Ding praised.

Once safety was assured, he also reached out to place his hand on the black stone pillar, inputting a wisp of Divine Sense and mana.

This wisp of Divine Sense seemed to enter a dark and lightless world, containing individual War Beast Dao Soldier eggs, including species such as Fire Fox, Sky Patrol Eagle, Black Corner Ant Clan, Weaving Sky Spider Clan, and the Netherworld Black Sky Crane Clan. Some were wrapped in fetal membranes, others were eggshell-like, and some were in young beast form.

With Jiang Ding’s current Ancient God contributions, he could choose from the top seven War Beast species as his own Dao Soldiers.

Of course, due to the lack of Ancient Divine Path Inheritance, he couldn’t hatch or further cultivate these Dao Soldiers, rendering them not very valuable, being truly fortuitous opportunities for Devil God Sect and the Alliance of Ten Thousand Clans.

“Nice specimen materials.”

Jiang Ding collected over a thousand Netherworld Black Heavenly Crane eggs.

Surrounding Ji Liuyue and others lined up to receive these novel items, which might hold some value, possibly enhancing sect Dao Soldier combat power, or perhaps offering insights against the Alliance of Ten Thousand Clans and the Devil God Sect.

Once everything was done, Jiang Ding looked towards the distance.

The surrounding Daoists followed his gaze, longing as they looked into the distance.

Numerous terrifying escape lights and ominous pressures gradually emerged.

“Fellow Daoists,”

“Truly, it has been a long time, this Daoist has missed you…”

The Heavenly God Daoist was the first to appear on the horizon, his words chilling.

Behind him, the Eight Great Daoists of the Ancient Divine Domain had first broken through the numerous corpse tides’ besiege, and with clear targets rushed towards here, each without the slightest reservation, their explosive pressure forming a vague encirclement to prevent their escape, blocking all possibilities.
