Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 1038 - 1007: Death of the Ice Field Heavenly Monarch

A blood ice flame, a bluegold flying sword, both fiercely battling, tugging at the hearts of everyone on the battlefield.

Every slash of the Taiqing Flying Sword shatters countless spaces, dispersing myriad fragments of ice.

Because the space around was frozen, the flying sword faced immense resistance with every movement, as if contending against an entire world of ice.

This is the Demon Pill that the Ice Field Heavenly Monarch has refined for ten thousand years!

The fire of the demon pill is extremely cold, radiating rings of transparent ripples, freezing the surrounding space, clinging to the Taiqing Flying Sword like an incurable disease, constantly eroding the sword's sharpness.

Despite the Taiqing Flying Sword's relentless strikes, its sharpness unstoppable, its speed gradually slows, and the aura on the sword begins to weaken.

Clang!

With a light hum, the Taiqing Flying Sword folded back and returned to Jiang Ding's side.

The Great Sun Destroying Sword Intent and the All-transforming Magnetic Elemental Power cleansed the sword body, grinding away a thin layer of ice on the sword, restoring it to its peak condition.

"Ice Origin Fellow Daoist, you are quite impressive."

Jiang Ding's expression finally grew solemn as he acknowledged: "Your demon pill has already resembled the surface of the Fifth Realm of Sword Dao, 'Sword Realm,' with its attacks imbued with a domain of life and death, indestructible and eternal, each strike containing the assault of an entire Law Realm, relentless and unending."

"Although far from the true Sword Realm, it indeed has a semblance of it."

"It seems that within the bloodline of the Demon Race, there are indeed genuine elements, not to be underestimated."

"Die!"

The Ice Field Heavenly Monarch uttered a low shout, with no reply.

She had entered the state of Burning Essence Blood, unable to delay for long, once again maneuvering the blood ice flame-shaped demon pill to attack relentlessly, vowing not to stop until death.

"Bai Zu! Xi Ping'an!"

"You two!"

The Ice Field Heavenly Monarch shouted sharply: "If you hold back again, then face death, let's see whether I die first or you die first!"

"I, of the Ice Phoenix Clan, am not afraid of anything when it comes to escaping!"

"Kill!"

Xi Ping'an remained silent, lifting the Golden Great Sword high.

He began burning his core of Incense Divine Dao, along with millions of Divine Guards, turning everything into a sky-high incense blood flame.

The heavens and earth became gleaming with gold light, filled with the potent power of Godly incense, almost condensing into droplets.

Countless shouts and whispers arose from the myriad believers of the East Sea over thousands of years, all calling out to their deity.

"This..."

Bai Zu Heavenly Lord hesitated, lacking decisiveness.

He had no race or descendants, nothing in the world to care for except his own life, his own Dao; to expect him to risk his life was extremely difficult.

"Ha ha!"

"The Ice Phoenix Clan's ability to escape?"

Jiang Ding heard the words of the Ice Field Heavenly Monarch and saw Xi Ping'an's resolute decisiveness, but remained unconcerned, chuckling softly: "Ice Origin Fellow Daoist, are you referring to something similar to the Phoenix's nirvana rebirth, emerging anew elsewhere and then sealing oneself deep into the recesses of space?"

"You..."

A sudden shock coursed through the Ice Field Heavenly Monarch, her steps in burning Essence Blood and fighting with her demon pill becoming chaotic.

"How would I know?"

Jiang Ding completed her unfinished words, laughing: "Demonic beasts with Phoenix bloodlines, they all resort to such tactics back and forth, how would I not know?"

"It's not something that can be guessed with eyes closed."

"Or do you mean to say, you are a once-in-an-eternity elite of the Ice Phoenix Clan, who has broken free from the shackles of bloodlines, surpassed even more challenging obstacles than the Human Race, and walked your own path?"

"Unfortunately, from my perspective, Fellow Daoist, your talent has not reached such a level, and so some methods are not hard to guess."

"As for those escape techniques, Fellow Daoist need not hold any hope."

Jiang Ding said warmly: "I assure Fellow Daoist, if you are defeated in battle, escape is absolutely impossible, the so-called Phoenix nirvana may truly be a supreme Great Divine Power, but with Fellow Daoist's mixed blood, I'm afraid it's far from enough."

"Back then, you were able to deceive Shuoyang Heavenly Monarch and flee from under his hand, but that does not mean you can do the same in front of me."

"Ridiculous!"

"Nonsense!"

The Ice Field Heavenly Monarch's heart sank, she coldly sneered, clearly disbelieving.

"You don't believe?"

"Very well."

Jiang Ding nodded, showing no anger: "I have one more thing to say, I wonder if you believe it or not?"

```

Clang!

He drew his sword, casting a sweeping glance all around, locking eyes with the three Heavenly Monarchs and finally revealing a trace of fierceness, bursting into a wild and unrestrained laughter.

"Ice Field Fellow Daoist!"

"This sword strike of mine, you will die."

"Whoever thinks they can stop it, come forth!"

Clang!

The clear and far-reaching sound of the sword's cry echoed in all directions!

An invisible yet terrifying pressure suddenly emerged between heaven and earth, causing everything around to halt, motionless.

Even Ice Field Heavenly Monarch, who was burning Essence Blood and manipulating the Demon Pill to attack, and her Demon Pill too, experienced an extremely subtle stagnation, nearly imperceptible to Divine Sense.

"What is this?!"

Ice Field Heavenly Monarch cried out in shock.

Boundless fear uncontrollably surfaced in their hearts.

Jiang Ding's expression remained calm.

His eyes were suffused with scarlet red, surveying the world - the mountains, the earth, the sky, the white clouds, the ice flames, the gu insects... Everything had vanished, leaving behind only crisscrossing trails of bloodstains spread throughout the surroundings.

In some places, the bloodstains were faint, merely a few strands;

In others, the bloodstains entangled into a net, dazzlingly brilliant and constantly flowing, changing at all times, intricate beyond measure.

The most conspicuous, without a doubt, were the three masses of blood nets!

From one of them, which contained an aura of cold ice, spat out another, even more dazzling flame of blood net, on which numerous bloodstains were in motion, transitioning, sometimes vanishing, other times deepening to an intense red.

This flame of the blood net, carrying a sky-high murderous intent, flew towards this side.

"It is... you."

Jiang Ding murmured softly.

The sword, completely unsheathed.

Clang!

The world suddenly darkened!

Not because of the light, nor the rays.

It was because all souls within the world were forcibly stripped of their Divine Soul perception, plunging into an absolute darkness, seeing nothing, comprehending nothing, all five senses obscured, chaos reigned.

They panicked, they feared, but could do nothing anymore.

Because this moment was all too brief!

So brief that to a Nascent Soul Cultivator it was merely a flash, gone in a blink of an eye, let alone change their countermeasures.

Whoosh!

The Taiqing Flying Sword descended like a bolt of light, arriving in an instant.

The Taiqing Flying Sword's invisible Sword-light, tracing the path of bloodstains where Ice Field Heavenly Monarch stood, like a chef expertly carving meat, following the distorted traces within the bloodstain network.

What seemed complex, was in reality the shortest and most efficient sword path, puncturing through the weakest spots and loopholes of the Cultivators' demonic power Protective Shields and Divine Power Spells.

In an instant, it pierced through.

Through everything.

This was... the fledgling form of the Destroying Golden Sword!

Jiang Ding opened his eyes, revealing a somewhat weary gaze.

"No..."

Ice Field Heavenly Monarch initially had gone blood-mad, burning Essence Blood, risking her life wielding the Demon Pill, but now she showed a strong color of terror.

Ignoring everything, she lost all reason, desperately turned around to flee for her life.

However, just as she took a step.

Her body stiffened.

A thin line of blood appeared on Ice Field Heavenly Monarch's brow, following the center line, starting from her beautifully ornate phoenix crown and running down her ice crystal-like pointed beak, to her graceful neck, and then to the belly, the chest area of her feathers, her torso, blooming straight along the absolute center line.

"I regret it!"

"Regret not listening to Fellow Xi's words!"

Ice Field Heavenly Monarch screamed in misery.

This was her last cry left in this world.

Immediately after, her beautiful phoenix eyes lost their Spiritual Light, the Divine Soul within her head shattered, and her massive ice crystal phoenix body split evenly from the middle, with blood and viscera cascading down like a waterfall, falling to the ground.
