Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 1025 - 994: The Great Sun Battleship, the Super Mothership, Launches; The Immortal Fleet

Unnoticed, he had reached the limit of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul period.

Jiang Ding had encountered such limits many times and was already exceedingly familiar with them.

With inheritance in his possession, he still knew nothing of what were called bottlenecks or barriers.

"Breakthrough."

Jiang Ding took one last nostalgic look at his mid-stage Nascent Soul realm and softly said.

In the calm thousand-mile range, Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi and Great Sun Essence surged like a tsunami once again, refined through layers of complex meridian networks, finally transforming into droplets of azure Wan Hua Magnetic Element Mana, with a hint of scorching golden yellow.

This was influenced by the essence of Taiqing Flying Sword.

These subtle magics entered the Elixir Field that had reached its limit; the Elixir Field instantly became slightly swollen, with a faint stinging sensation.

Then,

Crack!

Only a crisp sound was heard, fine cracks appeared on the bottleneck of the mid-stage Nascent Soul, rapidly spreading like a spider web, then collapsing into a sky full of fine Spiritual Light, sinking into the Elixir Field and dissolving away.

The Mana in the Elixir Field, without any hindrance, surged into the upper two-thirds of the Elixir Field and flowed wantonly.

Jiang Ding's aura also exploded in this instant, nearly doubling!

In the later stages, in almost all realms, compared to the previous realm, strength has increased significantly, referred to as 'Great Cultivator' by peers of the same level, always deserving respect.

That is the reason; with strength as the backing, one could fight against double digits of the same level peers and remain undefeated.

If put alone, cultivators in the later stages could easily pose a threat to the life of cultivators from the previous stages.

After an unknown period of time, as Jiang Ding's nearly transitioning aura stabilized, he started to inspect himself internally to check for changes.

"Divine Sense range, sixteen hundred kilometers, not weaker than Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator."

"Sword Intent is fully achieved, can easily suppress Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators, Mana as well."

Jiang Ding instantly assessed his own strength: "Ice Field Heavenly Monarch, who once bullied me, I have always endured until now, but endurance has its limits."

"Let her know that even honest people have temper and can't be humiliated."

"But, what a coincidence?"

"Super Mothership Great Sun is about to be launched, and I can't let Cloud Day fly out of the shipyard alone, that would be improper…"

Jiang Ding stood up, retracted Taiqing Flying Sword, and flew out of the Great Sun Heavenly Pond.

Before breaking through the crystal barrier of Heavenly Pond, he glanced at the ancient battlefield ruins within the Heavenly Pond that were destroyed and had lost vitality.

The battle at Great Sun Sword Pavilion left the marks of nine Refining Void Peak Level warriors within the Heavenly Pond, the dense forest left from Green Wood Immortal Sect's Great Power Magic, the creepy ghostly figures formed from the residual force of Shadow Demon Abyss's Great Power Magic, and various Incense Fire Gods left by Xuanwu tiangong's Great Power…

These forces, after thousands of years, had not weakened at all, and even had the potential to expand further.

Only the Forbidden Nucleic Weapons mutant domain left by Xianmen Sect had weakened significantly over the years. Under the influence of Great Sun Heavenly Pond, its territory has expanded more than five hundred kilometers outward, further confining the range of the Forbidden Nuclear Weapons' mutant domain.

The power of Great Sun Heavenly Pond began to recover.

"Swordsman, the power of Heavenly Pond is recovering, spreading much further above the Peak of Hua Shen, but still at a distance from Refining Nothingness."

Upon seeing this, Yueling immediately said: "It is estimated that it will naturally recover to the Refining Void Realm in two thousand years. Your cultivation and the proactive cooperation of Eastern Devil School can greatly accelerate this process."

"Good."

Jiang Ding nodded slightly.

The future wars will be very cruel. Although Great Sun Heavenly Pond never participates in any battles involving Nascent Soul, or Hua Shen stages, it would just watch its own Swordsmen get killed and then collect the corpses, only intervening when Voyd Refinement Cultivators appear.

But having a Void Level escape card is really sweet!

Moreover, the cultivation environment of Heavenly Pond itself, the environment for refining swords, and its rich resources are all very important to him. With the growth of Heavenly Pond, it could greatly subsidize his cultivation.

Jiang Ding flew out of Heavenly Pond, continuously traversing the space, and soon arrived at Lianyun Air Harbor Shipbuilding Group.

He continually verified his identity, passed through multiple inspections, and finally arrived at the deepest part of the shipyard.

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch's avatar, meditating with closed eyes, opened them at this moment.

"Jiang Ding, come over to handle the ship handover acceptance procedures."

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch handed Jiang Ding a document filled with charts that included items for acceptance inspection such as hull strength, mobility, and engine specifications.

"Senior, please wait a moment."

Jiang Ding took the document, closed his eyes for a while, then connected his Divine Sense to the void nearby, activating the Ship Spirit Cloud Day to awaken her from slumber.

Zzz...

Zzzzzz...

From the void, a chaotic noise of sizzling could be heard; electric arcs flickered continuously, and numerous magnetic flux lines spread across thousands of miles, controlling every inch of space.

The void was torn open bit by bit, and a huge ship with a silver-white glow emerged.

Jiang Ding held his breath as he looked at the brand new Super Mothership, Great Sun Battleship.

This is...

A solid metallic sphere over thirty kilometers in size.

It possessed a silver-white color with a hint of golden lines, emitting a distinct aura of Great Sun Luminous Gold Sword Intent.

"Hello, Commander..."

A soft and tender voice came from the silver-white metallic sphere, sounding very nostalgic.

Jiang Ding was startled.

"This is Xianmen Sect's latest breakthrough in nanoscale memory spirit metal technology, similar to nanoscale liquid state robots."

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch explained, "Considering you need to carry a large number of unmanned drones and fleets, we've applied this technology to you. It features high strength, high resilience, and high affinity for Sword Intent, indestructible and wear-resistant, very much matching your Immortal Sword Intent."

"It can be clearly stated that as long as your Immortal Sword Intent is not suppressed or destroyed, this will be a fortress-level Air-Space Mothership Corps that will never be destroyed."

"The Super Mothership is equipped with a strengthened unmanned fleet group army, consisting of various types of unmanned warships and fighters totaling 37,496 units, all from the Dyson Sun Mirror Series Warships and Fighters, capable of deploying the Dyson Sun Sword Domain, and can also split the fleet group to undertake multiple combat tasks independently."

"Compared to the traditional unmanned drones and fleets of Xianmen Sect, due to the characteristics of nanoscale memory spirit metal, there are some variations..."

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch casually said, "Cloud Day, deploy an unmanned ship."

"Oh, yes, Grandpa Divine Machine."

After looking at Jiang Ding and getting authorization, the thirty-kilometer solid sphere split off a several-hundred-meter sphere, which rapidly transformed in the air, eventually forming a warship several thousand meters in size, similar to a conventional Air-Space Warship of Xianmen Sect.

"This is the Xianmen Sect warship form."

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch introduced, "There's also a treasure form and a Dyson mirror surface form."

Cloud Day's super calculation core changed accordingly.

The unmanned Air-Space warship swiftly transformed; the hull contracted, the Spirit Particle Sonar changed shape, the main cannon of the warship shifted inward, the engine shrank, and finally, it formed a sparkling silver long sword with a length of several hundred meters in the sky, emitting an aura similar to a Nascent Soul magical treasure.

Jiang Ding could feel a cordial sensation from this flying sword, as if it were a treasured weapon refined for hundreds of years. Inside, its engine, radar, fourth-level main cannon, and other structures were all intact; a single slash from it, even without using any mana or Sword Intent, was likely not weaker than a full-force strike from a fourth-level main cannon.

The sword, like a cannon.

"Amazing!"

"Very impressive, senior, you've worked hard."

Jiang Ding's Divine Sense flowed into the core of the Super Mothership Great Sun Battleship, carefully understanding it and praised.

"It's nothing."

"All the hard work of other colleagues."

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch was very modest, and with some regret, added: "Golden Causality is still not applicable; otherwise, if used for attack and defense, the performance of the Super Mothership would improve by a large margin; this knowledge comes from Immortal Techniques."

"However, I've reserved an interface for you, you might consider upgrading it yourself in the future."
