Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 485 - 442: Swordsman Takes Control of His Great Sun Heavenly Pond

Jiang Ding's scalp exploded.

Through his Sword Intent, after delivering a single strike, the strength of the person before him sharply weakened to nearly a tenth of his own.

However, when his sword struck, as the Sword Dao's blazing current flooded between heaven and earth,

All strength, all sensation became a joke!

In all directions, above and below, everything was filled with the will of the Flame Sword. All things, including Spiritual Energy, were under its control. Killing intent was everywhere, swiftly devouring the Sword Intent of Destruction that permeated the surroundings.

The fifth realm of the Sword Dao!

Sword Realm!

Under one sword, a sword becomes a realm, and all things live or die!

A thought emerged in Jiang Ding's mind.

Boom!

In the sky, the Air-Space Warplane unfolded, endless azure Runes blossomed and faded within a radius of dozens of kilometers, with all their power converging into the dark abyss of the Electromagnetic Main Gun.

A stream of bluegold light roared out, its speed and power amplified to the extreme, greatly enhancing the Sword Intent of Destruction.

Finally, in this state, he saw amid the overwhelming fiery red light around him, the genuine presence of a fiery red broken sword, violent and bloody, swinging down with unimaginable speed.

"Kill!"

Jiang Ding stared fiercely at the sky.

The Taiqing Flying Sword broke through the air with extreme power and velocity, shattering the surrounding luminescence, breaking free from the Sword Realm's restraint over all things and Spiritual Energy, barely grasping a moment to breathe and gathering a hint of External Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi to strike at the crimson broken sword.

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion resounded, the Great Sun's spots erupted, scorching and destroying, annihilating spirit and soul, with shockwaves sweeping out dozens of kilometers, flattening the land once more with a thunderous roar.

Clang!

The Taiqing Flying Sword let out a mournful cry, its Spiritual Light dramatically diminished, and it fell backward.

"Die!"

The Flame Spirit Heavenly Monarch said indifferently.

The crimson broken sword shone with unparalleled brilliance, its speed not only undiminished but surged again. The flames of the Great Sun descended from the heavens, bringing destruction and suppression, while the tyrannical and scorching Sword Intent slaughtered and burned all beings.

"I will not die,"

Jiang Ding said coldly.

All his Mana, all his Divine Sense surged into the Flying Sword, putting in everything he had.

Boom!

The Taiqing Flying Sword rang out, drawing in all the Array Patterns of the Electromagnetic Main Gun, blazing with light, with strands of bright gold runic patterns twinkling like stars, bursting out with layers of destructive Spiritual Light.

Law-Breaking!

Elimination Method!

Prohibition Method!

Three true meanings descended upon this world dominated by the Sword Intent of the Great Sun, causing the foundation of the Immortal Path civilization, the Spiritual energy particles, to stall, solidify, and even undergo subtle structural changes.

The many fiery streams of light became tumultuous, no longer in absolute control of everything, and the terrifying pressure of the surrounding stillness dissipated significantly.

An Azure Gold Sun hung high in the sky.

The light of the Elimination Method shone down upon heaven and earth, challenging the Sword Realm dominated by the Sword Intent of the Great Sun!

"Kill!"

Jiang Ding shouted lowly.

Boom!

The Bluegold Big Sun, carrying the light of the Elimination Method, thundered forward, colliding head-on with the Flame Sword Heavenly River at the heart of the Sword Realm.

Sizzling...

The soundless touch of the two brought about dissolution, and a terrifying aura permeated the entire Great Sun Heavenly Pond. Merely a hint of the aftermath, if it fell on the land, would create a pit several kilometers in height and width, instantly killing any Golden Pill Monk who encountered it.

After a standoff, the Bluegold Big Sun ultimately fell short in finesse, the light of the Elimination Method slowly extinguished, and the splendid Bluegold Big Sun began to dim.

On the other hand, the Flame Sword Heavenly River shone even brighter. The affected Sword Realm recovered in an instant, bringing the power of the whole world to suppress everything below, the Sword Dao of the Great Sun destroying all, burning all.

Jiang Ding's face was pale, but his eyes regained their calm.

The Flame Sword Heavenly River and the Sword Realm it birthed paused, collapsed, and set off endless waves of Spiritual Energy, spreading like a storm in all directions. Numerous Sword Cultivators involuntarily vomited blood, their Mana in complete disarray.

The power of the Flame Sword was exhausted!

In the end, it was just a wisp of a feeble remnant soul.

"What a pity..."

The divine soul of Flame Spirit Heavenly Monarch neared transparency, his eyes filled with endless sighs. He took one last glance at the Great Sun Heavenly Pond and the many relics around, and his body collapsed into a cloud of dust.

The place grew silent.

After a long while.

"An elite of the Domain Prides,"

"What a pity to be born ten thousand years too early!"

Jiang Ding's nearly depleted Elixir Field within him recovered some mana, once again granting him the power to protect himself. He murmured softly.

With a thought of Divine Sense, the broken, crimson Flying Sword where the remnant soul of Flame Spirit Heavenly Monarch had perished flew towards him.

"Flame Spirit Heavenly Monarch. According to the historical records of Xianmen Sect, this person was nearly invincible as a Nascent Soul Cultivator. Only the ascension of a Dari Swordsman to Nascent Soul could suppress him. He killed dozens of Nascent Soul Cultivators from both Xianmen and the Eight Great Immortal Sects—a nightmare for Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Eight Great Immortal Sects."

"His Flying Sword could very likely be at the Refinement Void Level!"

Jiang Ding's face showed anticpation.

Refining Nothingness!

Anything associated with this term could not be bought even for the entire Small World, worth over a trillion Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Divine Sense and Sword Intent meticulously scanned the broken Flying Sword.

His expression turned to shock.

"A second-order Flying Sword?"

"And a second-order Flying Sword picked up casually?!!"

Jiang Ding's body shook, and his mouth gaped open, "With this kind of Flying Sword, his power was ten times weaker than mine, and he almost killed me with one strike!"

"What kind of Swordsmanship is this!"

"It's unreasonably powerful."

"Fortunately, it's not a Refinement Void Flying Sword, otherwise..."

Jiang Ding felt a lingering fear.

This outcome was to be expected.

A wispy remnant soul could not possibly possess the Life Flying Sword of Flame Spirit Heavenly Monarch.

This was a character that both the Eight Great Immortal Sects' Masters of Refining Nothingness and the Central Array Spirit Computer kept in mind, sure to pursue and kill him personally once they were free. How could they allow his Life Flying Sword to escape?

As long as the Life Flying Sword existed, there was a possibility that the Sword Cultivator had not completely perished!

The Masters of Refining Nothingness would never allow such an outcome to happen, even if it meant completely destroying the Great Sun Heavenly Pond.

At the moment of death and destruction of the remnant union of Great Sun Sword Cultivation,

The light from the Great Sun Heavenly Pond shone in all directions, Array Patterns were born and faded, spreading out anew, reaching every corner of the Heavenly Pond, leaving no corner uncontrolled.

"Great Sun Soul Flame."

"Give it to me."

Jiang Ding demanded.

The Great Sun Heavenly Pond was his home!

With the destruction of the remnant union of the Great Sun Sword Cultivation, this had now become a reality.

Under normal circumstances, to want something, one just needed to take it.

A trial?

That was meant for the other Cultivators of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion.

"Swordsman, there are three Great Sun Soul Flames,"

a cheery female voice came.

"One is on An Tuzi, another on Yu Qianzi, who, before you arrived, passed the trials of the Inheritance Disciples by the spontaneously operating Formation Method within the Heavenly Pond and took away two Great Sun Soul Flames."

"As for the last one, only a Dari Swordsman is qualified to take it."

"A fully intact Great Sun Heavenly Pond generates one Great Sun Soul Flame every hundred years; in its current state, it can produce one every three hundred years."

"One? That's enough."

Jiang Ding frowned slightly, reached out to take a Jade Box, and opened it.

A Great Sun Flame burned quietly inside, like the light of a candle, emitting a soft glow. The Divine Soul barely touched it and grew slightly in an instant, and strands of an undying essence wove through the Divine Soul.

"Foundation Establishment, beyond a doubt."

Jiang Ding felt greatly assured.
