Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery-Chapter 2187 - 2154: Arrival at the Alien Race’s Heavenly Horse Star Domain
"Ultimately, there are hidden dangers."
"It would be better if more time had passed; by then they will have adapted. Even when facing other Human Race True Immortals, they wouldn’t turn sides in battle."
Yuan was still not at ease.
"What you say makes sense."
"The Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao Soldiers can be trusted. They exist independently of other Taoist Soldier troops and share common Great Dao interests with me."
Jiang Ding nodded slightly, saying no more.
He did not plan to join this battle. Not just this time; for future battles, unless encountering a True Immortal, he would not act.
Engaging in warfare is too time-consuming, with travel time being overwhelmingly greater than the brief and swift battles.
If he were to be intricately involved in every battle, it would waste much of his time, making it not worth the cost.
His time should be spent on deducing and comprehending the Immortal Dao Universe Constant, not on these secondary battlefields.
If these Taoist Soldier armies fail to defeat their opponents, Jiang Ding would execute the highest commanders of the Seven Taoist Soldiers and the Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao Soldiers, critically reconsidering his military formation plan.
This is incompetence.
Punishment is necessary.
Jiang Ding took one last look at the Xianmen Sect’s flagship.
A newly standardized Solar System-level warship, shaped like a sun at dusk, also a creation produced by applying Jiang Ding’s Immortal Dao Universe Constant Experience Formula, named Destruction Sun Ship.
The ship’s engine is the Xianmen Sect’s latest Nine-Tier Taiyin Sun Melting Furnace Engine. This engine greatly references the inspiration from the Sect’s Soulless Universe Antimatter Reactor Engine, ultimately developed by Yuan, Zhen, Lu Yuan, and others, equipped for the Sect’s Ultimate Venerable Level warships.
The strongest ten warships were built with Jiang Ding’s participation, applying the Jiang Ding Immortal Dao Universe Constant Experience Formula, containing a high level of Immortal Technology, possessing the combat power of a Quasi-Nine Tribulations Venerable.
If such a large army fails to sweep through the Heavenly Horse Star Domain and other regions, there must be issues in the army’s organizational structure.
Jiang Ding was not too concerned, turning back to the Solar System to continue cultivation.
...
Heavenly Horse Star Domain.
This existence, called the Heavenly Horse Star Domain Group, includes the Heavenly Horse Star Domain, Heavenly Cloud Star Domain, and other four star domains, is a lone island of life in the Endless Starry Sky. Since the collapse of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Dynasty millions of years ago, the Star Domain Super Transmission Array failed, no outsiders have visited here.
The Endless Universe Starry Sky is in motion, the coordinates of the Great Thousand World and star domains are constantly changing.
Many years ago, the neighboring star domains of the Heavenly Horse Star Domain Group were the Sky Dragon Star Domain and other places, areas now ruled by the Demon Race True Immortal Destiny True Dragon Son, but now, after millions of years, everything has changed, and no one knows the current whereabouts of the Heavenly Horse Star Domain Group.
Throughout history, many Eight Tribulation Venerables have chosen to explore outwards in their twilight years, venturing into the Dead Silent Starry Sky, seeking new Life Star Domains, but never found a result.
This is the prerogative only of True Immortals, even the Nine Tribulations Venerable have difficulty reaching.
Gradually, all the forces gave up hope, focusing on the internal disputes of the Star Domain Group.
Currently, the Heavenly Horse Star Domain is ruled by the Celestial Horse Immortal Clan. These white horses, bearing luxurious wings, have been known for nobility, strength, and loyalty since ancient times. During the periods of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Dynasty and multiple Human Race Emperorships, they were classified as war beasts, naturally suited for the growth of the Heavenly Horse Star Domain.
Outside the Heavenly Horse Star Domain, the Heavenly Cloud Star Domain is governed by the Divine Dao, and the Heavenly Cluster Star Domain is controlled by other Immortal Clans.
The Divine Dao and Immortal Clans fight, ally, conspire, and plot against each other within this not-too-large, nor too-small star domain group. Countless lives perish due to war, no different from other star domains. Intelligent beings compete for their own interests, despite having to struggle.
The strong blood alliance of the Divine Dao Demon Clan many years ago is no longer remembered.
One day, at the center of the Heavenly Horse Star Domain, a place illuminated by splendid lights, numerous Heavenly Horse Clan Venerables were engaged in discourse, and bathing in the starry sky’s heavenly river.
Surrounded by many servants, including Humans, Dragons, Cranes, and others, all are beautiful beings.
The Heavenly Horse Clan likes beautiful beings.
"Esteemed siblings,"
"We gather here today for two reasons: firstly, to catch up after years of separation; the longing is deep. Secondly, a suggestion from a Heavenly Horse proposes to restore our traditional blood alliance with the Human Race. I’d like to discuss with brothers and sisters."
A robust Heavenly Horse with a colorful single horn on its head spoke in a muffled tone.
A heavy aura emanates from him, grand and righteous, highly effective against demons, definitely a Supreme on the Sun Dao, a being transcending other Heavenly Horses too much.
Yet, his voice was gentle, occasionally drawing respectful glances from other Supreme members, indicating his high moral standing within the Celestial Horse Immortal Clan, unwilling to govern the tribe purely by brute force, embodying benevolence and kindness.
This is Heavenly Horse Chong, an Eight Tribulation Venerable of the Heavenly Horse Clan!
Outside the tribe, he’s known for fierceness and brutality, notorious for trampling the heads of creatures under iron hooves, feared by all races.
However, internally, he seems completely different.
"A blood alliance with the Human Race?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Hearing Heavenly Horse Chong’s words, the surrounding Celestial Horse Immortal Clan Supremes were surprised.
"Isn’t the Human Race blood alliance already shattered?"
"Back then, under the pressure of the Divine Demon Alliance Army, the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Dynasty’s Eastern Expedition army was about to defeat that rabble, slaughtering billions when our ancestors... turned from darkness to light, making great achievements, breaking the blood alliance that enslaved us, which led to our happy lives today, no longer becoming slaves."
A beautiful-voiced Heavenly Horse Supreme hesitated to ask.
Her body’s curves are smooth and natural, radiating brilliance, possessing an indefinable beauty that often draws the attention of many Heavenly Horses, seemingly viewing this Celestial Horse Immortal Clan Supreme as extraordinarily beautiful, captivating to the point of tempting Supremes, though Human Race beings cannot empathize.
"Yun Cai, those were the past days."
"Today is today."
Heavenly Horse Chong patiently explained, "The Human Race is indeed the Endless Starry Sky Dominator race. Clearly, they withered, they fell. At the time, they resembled groups of foolish pigs, letting those feeble Immortal Dynasty nobles occupy vast authority and Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures, laughably useless."
"Who would have thought that in just tens of millions of years, they have regained their combat power in the Endless Starry Sky."
"They even gave birth to two True Immortals."
"This is truly terrifying and shocking."
"This clansman likely wishes to leave a way out for our race, should the Human Race True Immortal ever become the Human Emperor again, it would provide a lifeline for our race. Back then, we did not annihilate all of the Human Race. Some knights’ sects, which had deep emotional ties with the Celestial Horse ancestors, were preserved and are still well-treated today, with Generations of Heavenly Men emerging continuously."
"Back then, the ancestors and they were like brothers. If it weren’t for the collapse of the trend, it wouldn’t be like this."
"What do you all think?"
Tianma Chong asked.
This is truly something that violates tradition tremendously.
For many years, the Celestial Horse Immortal Clan was held in high regard, inherently noble, whereas the Human Race had long become numerous Slave Clans, despised, slaughtered at will, enslaved as servants, and now to restore some tradition and let the lowly Human Race mount the Celestial Horses again—this is truly a daunting thought for the Celestial Horses to hear.
Tianma Chong already imagined the storm it would stir within the clan and the vehement opposition, thus he was rather cautious.
"Makes sense."
"Chong, this is a well-calculated move..."
"The younger ones may be angry; we need to appease them more..."
"Can it be slower? Many, including us, feel uncomfortable..."
Unexpectedly, many Celestial Horse Supremes offered suggestions. Any opposition was just against the methods rather than being absolute traditionalists.
"Oh?"
Tianma Chong was taken aback.
"Hahaha!"
"Chong, did you think we were all fools?"
One of the Celestial Horse Supremes laughed heartily, saying, "The so-called ancestral ways being unchangeable is merely a guise for interest struggles cloaked in righteousness. Who doesn’t know this?"
"In the past, we accepted it as a matter of course."
"Now, it’s about the survival of the race; how can we still fight over it?"
"You underestimated us!"
"Hahaha..."
All around, a group of Celestial Horse Supremes burst into laughter.
"Everyone—"
Tianma Chong was moved and momentarily at a loss for words.
For so many years, he toiled within the clan, believing himself hardworking and farsighted, seeing things that the Celestial Horses could not, yet it was just arrogance.
Which among these clan members is not an elite, wholeheartedly for the clan?
Which one is inferior to him?
Tianma Chong felt ashamed, a great ambition grew within his heart.
With such a united clan, in the future, the Celestial Horse Immortal Clan may indeed produce a True Immortal!
Then there would be no need to consider being dependent on other clans.
"My brothers and sisters, I—"
Tianma Chong said in shame, just about to say something when his expression changed, he suddenly looked toward the distance.
Rumbling!
Rumble...
In the distant starry sky, suddenly there was a wild storm, lightning flashes, an endless storm gathering toward a center, like a vortex, a terrifying and heavy aura of the End of Dharma spreading outward, covering the Heavenly Horse Star Domain and three other star domains, with clear signals of destruction and slaughter.
Moreover, a vague portal appeared in the distant starry sky.
Between the faintness, a low whisper came through.
"Taishang!"
"Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao! Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao..."
These whispers spread like the sound of the Great Dao, falling into the souls of every creature, every Supreme, causing their divine souls to tremble and their bodies to shudder involuntarily.
In the Celestial Horse Immortal Clan, silence reigned.
It was as if deathly still, without any sound, even the wind seemed to freeze.
For a long, long time.
"Taishang!"
"Taishang..."
"Supreme Great Sun Sword Fairy..."
The voice of Tianma Yuncai of the Celestial Horse Immortal Clan was dry, obviously a Seven Tribulations Venerable, yet as fragile as willows in the wind, she said bitterly, "Among the Human Race, the most cruel, violent, and bloody... the Sword Dao True Immortal Fairy of the Human Race."
