Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Jiang Ding stepped into the Starry Sky, the Destruction Dao rising and falling at his side. As the most outstanding one upon the Human World’s Destruction Dao, the one who had explored its highest achievements, his attainments could illuminate any living being short of an Immortal.

Even if an Immortal’s Son descended into the world, within the Destruction Dao he would still have to rank beneath him.

At this moment, however, the Ancient Emperor did not look toward the unseen Heavenly Dao, nor toward the countless mysteries of the cosmic rules, but instead turned his gaze upon the Time River.

The Eyes of Silence and the Immortal Eyes flickered with radiance, and the Great Sun Immortal Mortal Sword Soul wielded the Rule Power formulated by the Ancient Emperor.

The Ancient Emperor was analyzing the Time River, deducing time itself, gazing upon many things.

At last, after an unknown span, a surging Time River manifested before the Ancient Emperor, and within that Time River there existed a relatively placid region.

There, a cavity fine as dust rose and fell, relatively motionless within time.

”This is...”

In that instant, all the Cultivators of the Immortal Dynasty—especially the Emperor Realm Cultivators—trembled in their bodies.

Compared to other Immortal Dynasties of different eras, the present Immortal Dynasty possessed a terrifying advantage: the openness and sharing of knowledge. Even the Supremes knew of the Sleeping World, the Sleeping Forbidden Area, and such things. Though they could not comprehend them, they were at least clear on their appearance. At this moment, the hearts of all Immortal Dynasty Cultivators throbbed violently, burning with heat.

This was the Taishang Great Sun Sleeping World!

This was the skiff that led to the Golden Era!

This was the Sleeping ground of that illustrious host of history-famous Immortal Dynasty Emperor Realm Cultivators: Yuan, the Great Sun Bright Light Sword Emperor, the Empress, the Hehuan Taoist, Cheng Zhen, Gong Caiyu, and many other Dao-opening Ancestor Masters!

In this instant, all the Quasi-Emperors’ hearts grew dazed, uncontrollably turning toward that cavity within time.

No one was more tormented than the Quasi-Emperors.

Compared to the Emperor Realm Cultivators, they were as weak as ants; yet compared to the Supremes, they still had a sliver of possibility of obtaining a ticket to the Golden Era. The thoughts thus stirred were truly beyond description.

The Time River roared on.

Within the Time River, the temporal cavity rose and sank, gradually forming a portal suffused with a twilight hue. It slowly opened, revealing the scene within.

All the Immortal Dynasty Cultivators looked into it as though beholding the Immortal Realm.

Within the portal lay a beautiful woman sleeping peacefully, her skin fairer than snow, her brows lightly knitted. She seemed delicate and easily bullied, frailty overflowing from her, yet at times she revealed a kind of stately grandeur that made one tremble. Even Emperor Realm Cultivators could not help but bow their heads before such an aura, as if by long habit.

Such a beautiful living being would make one lose themselves at first sight.

Who was this?

Beneath the Starry Sky, countless Immortal Dynasty Cultivators showed confusion in their eyes.

A mere seven million years had passed, and yet in the Human World there was no one left who knew this woman; casting his gaze about, she saw only strangers aside from His Majesty.

”Mm~...”

The beautiful woman furrowed her brows, her eyelashes trembling as she awoke from a long sleep.

Her heavy eyelids opened and closed like the opening and closing of heaven and earth—blinking, hazy, with dim Heavenly Light everywhere, so that nothing could be clearly seen, only a single blurry, indistinct figure.

”Hold me!”

The beautiful woman, by instinct, extended her slender, snow-white, tender hands.

A steady power came, drawing her into an embrace, gently soothing her, easing the Divine Soul’s pain wrought by the long years of sleep, softly patting her back.

Jiang Ding quietly gazed at the person in his arms, his eyes deep as the Starry Sky, bearing a peculiar emotion.

”Soft Persimmon,”

”It’s been seven million years...”

Jiang Ding murmured.

Seven million years apart—he had missed her greatly.

You are the only familiar person to me among the countless beings of the Endless Starry Sky. Once, we spent tens of millions of years together; when I was insignificant, you supported me without reservation, sharing life and death with me.

And now, once more, I behold you.

He knew not how much time had passed before the headache gradually eased and the haze before her eyes slowly turned clear.

The face of a green-clothed youth appeared in the woman’s vision.

”Your Majesty,”

”Long time no see.”

A faint blush appeared on the Fusang Empress’s cheeks. She shyly wriggled free from his embrace.

After so many years apart, she carefully, thoroughly sized up the present Ancient Emperor, not missing even a single strand of hair, repeatedly comparing him to the images in her memory.

The Ancient Emperor’s appearance had not changed.

But his entire bearing had grown even colder and more aloof, transcending the Nine Heavens above, like a detached, imperishable Divine.

The Fusang Empress felt a faint ache in her heart.

In these years, had he, too, sometimes felt lonely?

Why had she not remained always at his side, letting him know that beneath the Starry Sky, she was still there beside him?

”Mm.”

”Long time no see.”

Jiang Ding gave a slight nod, then took a single step into the Nine Heavens.

Rumble!

Rumble, rumble...

In an instant, winds and clouds surged through the Endless Starry Sky; heaven and earth shook and roared as rolling dark clouds gathered.

This was not a Heavenly Tribulation!

This was the power of a mighty being within the Endless Starry Sky suddenly leaping upward as though undergoing a transition, his essence soaring, triggering a violent upheaval throughout the Endless Starry Sky. The Three Thousand Heavenly Dao’s rules fell into chaos and loss of control one after another, as space and time convulsed.

It was like a great stone falling into a still pond, sending out wave after wave.

The present existence of the Taishang Great Sun Ancient Emperor was precisely the source of the Endless Starry Sky’s unrest.

”The Sun Immortal Scripture of Destruction...”

Jiang Ding fully activated the root of his Great Dao. A blazing, magnificent Supreme Great Sun Ancient Talisman rose slowly like a Sun Star, shedding its radiance upon the Endless Universe Starry Sky.

That Ancient Talisman spun like a planet, countless orbits and countless lines interweaving, the information contained within sufficient to burst a Quasi-Emperor’s Divine Soul.

Seen from a higher vantage, these intricate lines in truth had an origin.

The origin lay in ten Mystic Text characters—ten symbols—which, within these mere ten characters, described the very source of the Endless Starry Sky, and calculated the ever-changing Immortal Dao Universe Constant of the Endless Starry Sky.

The Destruction Dao was about to boil over in that moment!

Dusky light shone upon the Human World, and scene after scene of the Destruction Dao appeared in succession, as the destined destiny of the future Endless Starry Sky cast a corner of its picture toward this place.

”Ten characters...”

”Today, it shall complete a qualitative change and ascend one step upon the Immortal Path.”

Jiang Ding calmly regarded his Immortal Scripture.

In a hazy blur, the ten characters of the Sun Immortal Scripture of Destruction intertwined, layer upon layer of lines overlapping, merging and then splitting apart; many lines vanished, many lines were born anew, undergoing a complex process like a new creation.

After an unknown time, the change ceased.

The Sun Immortal Scripture of Destruction became more beautiful, more natural, more streamlined, silently shedding from ten characters into nine. All of it was so natural, so water flowing of its own accord, without any heart-stopping, perilous twists.

The Nine-Character Sun Immortal Scripture of Destruction!

The nine-character Immortal Dao Universe Constant Experience Formula!

Rumble!

Rumble, rumble...

The turbulence within the Endless Universe Starry Sky intensified in an instant by countlessfold. The rules were being reassembled, space was in upheaval, and the Destruction Dao in a single instant seized far more radiance within the Heavenly Dao, completely overshadowing all other Great Dao.

In that very instant, the Destruction Dao became the entirety of heaven and earth!

Within the boundless radiance of the Destruction Dao, a towering being quietly watched the Endless Starry Sky, gazed upon the surging, unceasing Time River. In his eyes, longing and killing intent mingled—emotions that even ten thousand ages of time could not bar!

On this day, yet another Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor was born between heaven and earth.

His name,

Taishang Great Sun Ancient Emperor!
