Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

”He’s left.”

Lying underground deeply burrowed into the dunes, Jiang Ding sighed.

For some reason, he could clearly sense the aura of ’intent’ emanating from the body of this foundation-building prodigy, yet he remained undetected.

It could be that the rank of the Sword Intent was higher, or perhaps the pervasive nuclear radiation here affected his Divine Sense Scanning.

”It would be great if a supreme commander of a corps were here, with the target locked, a single tactical nuclear bomb would destroy him.”

Jiang Ding coughed, covering his mouth.

When he spread open his palm, a handful of fresh blood was visible, some of which had already turned into brown clumps.

”High temperature, shockwaves, radiation...”

Jiang Ding used Inner View on his own shattered body and sighed. He spoke into the legion’s communications channel, ”Is there any good healing martial method you recommend? Something like the Celestial Demonic Dismantling Method or the Seven Days Fatal Divine Power.”

The common ones were useless.

”Dari Swordsman? You rascal, you’re actually not dead!”

”Martial methods... I don’t know much about that, can you use cultivation methods?”

”I’m willing to call you an indestructible cockroach!”

Cheers and various disorderly teases came through the legion’s channel.

”Shut up, everyone, and find something for him!”

Jin Lingfeng, the committee chairman and temporary general of the Northern Army Group, scolded. He swiftly searched using Divine Sense in the library, while others stopped their joking and began similar work.

”’Three-day Fatal Kungfu,’ this one is good, according to the introduction, it should heal most injuries.”

”’Soul Locking Method’...”

”’Shadow Puppet Body Transforming Method’...”

Soon, several methods were recommended, all of which were powerful, simple to practice but with severe consequences.

”’Shadow Puppet Body Transforming Method’ it is.”

Jiang Ding skimmed through it and confirmed the method.

Its principle was essentially to cultivate a strand of the Demonic Qi found in martial arts, then use it to devour the meridians, flesh and Elixir Field to heal one’s injuries and fight above one’s level.

In the end, one would dissolve into a puddle of blood in five days, leaving behind nothing but a human skin and skeleton, also known as a skin puppet frame.

The difficulty, for renowned figures in Jianghu, should be that they could master it through several months of practice.

Jiang Ding read through it three times, memorized it, and in his mind, he continuously simulated and understood it. Soon, a strand of pitch-black lines appeared around his Elixir Field, quickly expanding to the meridians all over his body. His flesh sizzled as it slowly dissolved.

However, at the same time, a massive force of vitality surged from within his body, his pale complexion rapidly turned rosy, and he looked rejuvenated.

”Still, the radiation poisoning hasn’t been eliminated, even though I have been outside the nuclear explosion radius of thirty kilometers... I should be able to live for four and a half days, sigh.”

Jiang Ding sighed, ”If this wasn’t a simulated battlefield, the future Lord Jiang Ding would have perished.”

Hours later, the roaring sound of tank engines could be heard in the distance, as Jin Lingfeng entered within the thirty-kilometer range.

”My injuries have improved, I can still live for four and a half days.”

Jiang Ding emerged from the sand and silently entered the vanguard reconnaissance position of two army groups.

”Four and a half days? That’s very tight on time.”

With her silver hair and cute, bewildered expression, Jin Lingfeng paused for a moment before saying solemnly, ”We set off immediately, to the center of the West Desert, to Lake Bi Bo!”

”As long as we destroy the core’s thirty-six Black Tortoise Four Ends Bound Pillars, the interface Big Array of Xuanwu Heavenly Palace will be weakened and diminished. The Army Formation of Xianmen Sect’s Heavenly Earth Elemental Troops will be strengthened, greatly increasing the probability of the appearance of the thirteenth Small World!”

The two army groups from the north and south converged properly, forming a massive army exceeding four hundred thousand that moved mightily, with nearly a hundred thousand radar-guided artillery constantly scanning.

The Iron Tide filled the land, as roads appeared out of nowhere, formed in an instant.

After marching for three days, they crossed a thousand miles of the West Desert.
