Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 1218 - 1186: The Xianmen Sect has the Power to Suppress Any Ambitious Schemer

"Commander Canghai Heavenly Monarch has fallen in battle!"

The determined voice of Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch echoed in the ears of all Immortal Sect Fleet Commanders.

In an instant, the connection from the very heart of the fleet was severed, and the Immortal Sect Billion Fleet collapsed into dozens of independent corps barely maintaining the strength of the Refining Void Stage, unable to unite their forces in a short time.

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

The remotely controlled fleets attacked with extreme sensitivity, as Primordial Magnetic Rule Bombs rained down mercilessly, each capable of annihilating a Starry Sky Corps, and the Immortal Sect Fleet was slaughtered and forced to retreat.

These Electromagnetic shells imbued with Primordial Magnet rules threaded through the starry sky, slightly anxious, searching for something.

"Beep, beep beep!"

The voice of the Central Array Spirit Computer resounded in Jiang Ding's ears.

"Citizens' assembly resolution, Sixth Order Forbidden Nuclear Weapons have been activated, please provide calibration."

"Sixth Order Forbidden Nuclear Weapons have been activated, please, citizens, take cover..."

"Please, citizens, take cover..."

The Array Spirit's urgent alarm rang throughout the world, causing countless beings to instinctively panic, as numerous fleets scattered in all directions, fleeing deeper into the starry sky to avoid the epicenter of battle.

"Yes, locking on now."

Jiang Ding's expression remained calm.

With the help of the Sixth Order combat support system, he easily locked onto the Divine Soul Core of the only Refining Nothingness Cultivator present.

"Sword Intent lock successful."

Boom!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Suddenly, a dazzling light of destruction burst forth in the cosmic heavens!

Deep within space, within the trajectory of the Immortal Gate, multiple Sixth Order top-tier Forbidden Nuclear Weapons were authorized to launch, and an endless aura of Destruction Method and mutant energy enveloped the entire Star River. The creations from the Soulless Universe shattered, disrupted, and plunged the laws of the Immortal Path World into a murky state of chaos.

Countless lights, countless Great Suns, ascended!

The spiritual energy particles throughout the whole expanse of space underwent changes, falling into a soulless environment, unable to reveal any extraordinary powers ever again.

All beings between heaven and earth were now equal!

"Forbidden Nuclear Weapons!"

A shudder ran through Yuan's divine soul.

Facing the Sixth Order Forbidden Nuclear Weapons, even the Great Powers of the Immortal Sects must avoid them, unable to confront them directly!

And now, he was in control of an enormous Starry Sky Fleet numbering in the millions. How could he escape?

Abandon the fleet and flee?

Yuan indeed did so, igniting a strand of Essence Blood and transforming into an Azure Escape Light, fleeing madly into the cosmic Primordial Magnetic laws, reaching extreme speeds.

There were also tens of thousands of doppelgangers scattered in every direction, each and every one lifelike. Even the crumbling Army Formation of the Immortal Gate could not lock on instantly and could only see a blurred afterimage, unable to lock down a clear target.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

However, a number of Sixth Order top-tier Forbidden Nuclear Weapons showed no dispersion, striking precisely at an empty expanse of the Cosmic Starry Sky, and with the power of the Destroying Law Forbidden Skill, forcibly flushed out a figure within.

The figure froze stiff, arms raised, not daring to move an inch.

"Let's talk this out."

"Don't be jittery with your hands."

Yuan's face was somewhat stiff as he faced the Immortal Sect Forbidden Nuclear Weapons, his divine soul trembling, genuinely feeling the cold breath of death.

A dozen Forbidden Nuclear Weapons slowly extinguished, returning to a ready state.

The terrifying aura of the Destroying Law Forbidden Skill mutant energy gradually dissipated, and the bright Cosmic Star River returned to its silent, icy state as the Immortal Rules and spiritual energy particles gradually returned to normal.

"Yuan has fallen."

"The entire Yuan's Starry Sky Corps is annihilated."

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch determined: "Canghai Heavenly Monarch's forces have won, a Pyrrhic victory, with a score of sixty-two."

The endless Cosmic Star River grew silent.

Canghai Heavenly Monarch, Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch, Taoqing Heavenly Monarch, and others exchanged glances, revealing wry smiles to one another and leading their fleets back to their original orbits.

The Immortal Sect Billion Fleet came together again as one, indistinguishable from each other.

Yuan, Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch, Grand Sun Immortal, Canghai Heavenly Monarch, Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch, and others gathered together to summarize the lessons learned from this military exercise.

"Overall, the Immortal Sect has the capability to annihilate Early Stage Void Refining Practitioners even under extreme conditions."

"Even with internal friction and many disadvantageous preset conditions, it is so."

Divine Mechanism Heavenly Monarch concluded: "If there are people with ambition within our ranks, I believe this result is a clear enough warning."

"Even if the Immortal Sect will eventually be destroyed by the Immortal Sects, it is no problem to take away the Refining Nothingness Cultivators who have betrayed us before destruction. The Immortal Sect's Forbidden Nuclear Weapons, as the ultimate foundation, are enough to sweep clean."

"Not every Refining Nothingness Cultivator possesses the ruling-level individual combat power like the Great Powers of the Eight Great Immortal Sects."

"Refining Nothingness Cultivators and the Immortal Sect benefit together and suffer apart."

"Even if resources are limited and temporary endurance is required, it is still the case; we must endure because the Immortal Sect is by no means an entity that Refining Nothingness Cultivators can manipulate at will. We have our own strength."

He reached such a conclusion.

"That's right!"

The surrounding many Heavenly Monarchs all nodded, approving of this.

"This result has some necessary prerequisites."

Yuan added: "First, the keys and authorities of the Forbidden Nuclear Weapons cannot be decrypted by Refining Nothingness Cultivators; second, when Refining Nothingness Cultivators mobilize an army of dozens of Heavenly Monarchs, it must be under strict supervision by the Immortal Sect;

Third, Immortal Sect Heavenly Monarchs must regularly submit to a Divine Soul audit by the Central Array Spirit Computer, ensuring they are not influenced by Refining Nothingness methods like the 'Dao Heart Seed Demon Slave Scripture,' losing their Divine Soul;

Fourth, the travel movements of Refining Nothingness Cultivators must be reported..."

He listed many regulations, all effective methods to prevent the Immortal Sect from being overturned by Refining Nothingness Cultivators.

Some regulations are very harsh, treating Refining Nothingness Cultivators like criminals, constantly under surveillance.

It was as if he himself was not a Refining Nothingness Cultivator.

Many Heavenly Monarchs agreed with these measures, considering them very secure and foolproof.

Yet, some frowned.

"Senior,"

"There are some things I do not agree with."

Jiang Ding could no longer remain silent.

Some things greatly affected his Dao path planning and interests.

His morals and principles told him that his own interests are just as important as those of the Immortal Sect. It's not sustainable in the long term for one party to make selfless sacrifices for the other.

"It is very important to have key checks and balances for Refining Nothingness Cultivators; it must be so."

"It affects the continuation of the Immortal Sect, and we should not fall into danger due to individual preferences."

Standing up, Jiang Ding slowly said: "However, Refining Nothingness Cultivators are also citizens of the Immortal Sect; they possess all the rights that a citizen has, and should not be unreasonably monitored. Nor should their daily lives be restricted, subjecting them to more limitations than ordinary citizens."

"This is not fair."

"I believe there must be equality."

"Refining Nothingness Cultivators are also ordinary people, and should not have their basic sacred rights oppressed for any reasons—safety, strategy, or any excuse based on the greater good of the Immortal Sect—while ensuring the safety benefit of the majority of the Immortal Sect citizens."

"This is my view."

After speaking, Jiang Ding bowed slightly and sat down.

A silence fell among the audience.

Many seniors began to ponder, no longer intentionally ignoring certain things because of their own interests.

"I agree,"

Canghai Heavenly Monarch sighed: "Refining Nothingness Cultivators should not be overly restricted due to their potential danger; everything must be legal."

"For example, are we not also very dangerous compared to Nascent Soul Golden Core Cultivators?"

"Then should we also be heavily restricted?"

"If that's the case, we might be safe internally, but what about when enemies attack from the outside? Can we use ordinary people to fend them off? That's impossible."

"Indeed so..."

"This is an unavoidable matter; absolute safety means the oppression of Refining Nothingness Cultivators..."

Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch and others spoke up one after another, opposing many suggestions put forward by Yuan.

Yuan looked at them, surprised.

He did have some selfish motives, which could not be denied.

He wanted to take advantage of the fact that he was the only Refining Nothingness Cultivator for now, to promote some laws to protect the Immortal Sect, to prevent the rise of more powerful figures in the future, especially certain Sword Masters... He himself did not mind these harsh restrictions, as he has always placed strict demands on himself.

However, his proposals immediately sparked fierce backlash.

It made Yuan somewhat angry, yet also profoundly moved.

Many Celestial Lords of the Immortal Sect did not wish to see him live like a prisoner and were not willing to take advantage of him.

"Everybody opposes it."

"Then, let's revise these regulations."

Yuan heaved a long sigh.
