Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Jiang Ding stretched out his hand to receive the Infant-Forbidding Net, which was floating in the air.

This one-time use net, worth six hundred million low-grade spirit stones and requiring a large amount of fourth-tier heavenly material and earthly treasure, had lost its ability to capture nascent souls and retained only its binding function. Moreover, it would automatically break after being released.

Divine Sense swept through it.

Jiang Ding was somewhat curious and looked closely.

This was the first time he had seen and touched a cultivator's nascent soul.

It was a tiny person, the size of a palm, with hands and feet, skin, clothes, hair, eyes, and everything else intact, indistinguishable from a real person. Only the occasional flicker of semi-translucent green spiritual light revealed that this was a lifeform constituted by divine soul strength.

Not good-looking, not cute at all.

This little person looked exactly like the Immortal Crow True Monarch, with a hooked nose and a gloomy, aged face with faint grey-white hair.

Merely looking at it, one felt an aggressive aura assaulting the senses, powerful enough to silence crying children, to drive away crowds of ordinary people, causing them to have nightmares every day and night for the rest of their lives, until their divine souls withered away to death.

"Immortal Crow friend, you truly are a villain, not good-looking at all,"

Jiang Ding said indifferently, "Fortunately, I'm here, undertaking the arduous task of imparting heavenly justice and sending you into reincarnation a step early. The world is a little less filthy, how wonderful."

"Of course, that's assuming a divine soul that has turned to dust can still enter reincarnation."

As one of the ancient ancestors from one of the twenty-eight families with ten-thousand-year heritages in the Northern Plains, the old ancestor of the Beast Spirit Hei Clan should have a lot of valuable things in his mind.

As long as a fourth-tier top-grade Soul Searching Talisman was obtained, one could retrieve them.

Jiang Ding stored the black net into the storage jade pendant that could contain living things.

In the sky, atop a thousand-meter-long giant iron ship, the spiritual light runes on the cannon barrels sequentially went dark, and hazy space ripples began to emerge around the ship as it slowly vanished, heading towards the deepest depths of space.

Lurking, concealing.

Waiting for the next call.

"Commander, after further detection, it has been confirmed that all intelligent beings within a hundred mile radius have been obscured, with no information leakage."

"The Concealment Magic has never failed. The gazes of living beings on the land cannot penetrate the concealment to see or hear anything. Their expressions, eyes, and divine soul fluctuations have been compared with the database of facial recognition without any abnormalities found," the soft voice of Ship Spirit Cloud Day reported.

"Mm, thank you for your hard work,"

Jiang Ding nodded, then with a flash of his escape light, he appeared next to a clump of blood fog that had not yet drifted away with the wind, solidified by his divine sense.

Parting the blood fog, a black, lacquered ring emerged from within.

"It's not broken yet, good."

Jiang Ding collected it, then with a beckoning gesture, fragments scattered around like feathers flew towards him from all directions, twinkling like stars. Some were as big as a palm, while others were as small as dust, invisible to the naked eye, sparkling under the sunlight.

This was the life treasure of the Immortal Crow True Monarch, the Black Feather Heavenly God Armor!

This treasure combined both offense and defense, had been refined by the Immortal Crow True Monarch for over a thousand years, fused with countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as the divine souls of many beings. When its wings were spread, it could instantly form a blade array, or it could be layered piece by piece to form a powerful defense. It could withstand the attacks of mid-stage nascent soul cultivators without fear, truly profound and mysterious.

However, under the bombardment of the Magnetic Cloud Splitting Star Cannon from the super warship Great Sun Battleship, it was reduced to ashes, shattered into countless pieces, and its spirituality was lost. It also caused the body of the Immortal Crow True Monarch to turn into dust, instantaneously becoming a cloud of blood fog.

"And this..."

Jiang Ding meticulously swept his divine sense across the land and sky, not missing any trace.

Soon, a deeply indented turtle-shell treasure, surrounded by faint cracks, was unearthed from the ground. After dusting off the soil, it revealed its body, resembling black jade.

"A mid-grade Nascent Treasure, valued at over a billion low-grade Spirit Stones, and all of them were equivalent to the ten billion in fourth-order items."

Jiang Ding took a light breath, feeling quite regretful.

"But, it's shattered."

"Its value has greatly diminished, at most, it can only be worth two to three billion low-grade Spirit Stones of fourth-order Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure. This is still relying on the flourishing artifact recycling industry of the Xianmen Sect; otherwise, it would be much lower..."

The Taiqing Flying Sword combined with a super battleship's salvo had created an ultimate destructive force that even exceeded Jiang Ding's expectations, and his control over the Flying Sword was greatly reduced—he could only designate attack targets.

Because the speed was too fast, it was uncontrollable.

"No need to sell them, all these are food for the Ship Spirit Cloud Day's consumption, it should be enough for her to eat… no, to melt and digest for a long time."

Pieces of Black Jade Tortoise Shell and fragments of the Black Feather Heavenly God Armor were thrown into the Storage Jade Pendant.

As for the blood mist and Broken Bone scattered over hundreds of meters, they were condensed into a mass by his Divine Sense, and with a breath, he exhaled azure Sword Intent Elixir Fire, burning it all to ashes, along with any possible Divine Soul fragments and resurrection tricks, completely eradicating them.

The remaining pile of ashes was collected into an empty Storage Bag, planning to find a random spot and throw it tens of thousands of miles away.

"Next, eliminate the residue of Magic, causality, and lingering Divine Soul energy... "

Jiang Ding echoed through the sky, occasionally descending, with top-tier third-order spirit-breaking and Law-destroying Skills in hand, reapplied throughout the surroundings, combing through the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi to restore its original pure state, untouched and flawless, without any later contamination.

He encountered deep pits and mountains collapsed by the aftermath of Magic, striving to restore them as much as possible and then casting several Demolishing Spirit Demolishing Skills to clean up the residue...

Everything was done with extreme proficiency.

He had a set of procedures that he perfected to the extreme over more than a hundred years of constant trial and error, extremely efficient, finishing everything in less than a few minutes.

And this was without rushing.

If in a hurry, he needed only three breaths to clean up the battlefield, clear most of the traces of battle, and disappear without a trace.

After the whole routine, Jiang Ding was confident that even after a few years, Divinity Transformation Cultivators proficient in causality wouldn't dream of catching his tail, or using tracking Magic to capture him.

"Let's go."

After double-checking that nothing was amiss, Jiang Ding concealed his form and vanished, speeding away into the distance.

His destination, Beast Spirit Immortal City!

"Shang Sanwu..."

Jiang Ding recalled past events, grinding his teeth: "You human trafficker, vile scum, justice prevails, evil always meets its end. I, Heavenly Monarch Jiang, hold no personal grudge against you. All is for the justice of this realm, to act on Heaven's behalf, to avenge the countless Cultivators and mortals who died at your hands, their families torn apart."

"There is absolutely no personal enmity, our past transactions were fair and legal."

"I am wholeheartedly devoted to the people."

"Furthermore, the legacy of the Beast Spirit Hei Clan should belong to me, so that in the future, I can pass on those Cultivation Methods that pose no harm to mankind."

"The Immortal Wisdom accumulated by the Hei Clan looting the Northern Plains of countless Cultivators and mortals for ten thousand years is innocent. It should not be buried but should belong to all humanity."

"I am so kind."

"In the dark world of Cultivation, I am a person of such noble moral character!"

Jiang Ding sighed deeply, feeling his Dao Heart becoming even more complete and firm.

His speed suddenly surged.

He flashed through space, speeding rapidly towards the Beast Spirit Immortal City.
