Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Far explained to the surrounding Xianmen cultivators, “They cultivate Destiny Rules, yet fail to penetrate destiny itself. Instead, they grow more ‘superstitious,’ believing in an overarching will within the cosmic Heavenly Dao—a superior entity akin to an Emperor.”

“The heavenly tribulation is merely a punishment mechanism of the Heavenly Dao, a manifestation of that superior entity’s majesty.”

“Thus, cultivators must exhibit humility and reverence, fearing and trembling as they traverse the tribulation. They regard every bolt of thunder and every drop of rain as a grace from the heavens, cautiously striving to behave as obedient subjects.”

“I wonder if this peculiarity is exclusive to the Heavenly Mechanism Immortal Palace, or if all cultivators of the Heavenly Mechanism Way are the same.”

“So, that’s how it is.”

The observing cultivators, including the Sun Extinguisher Heavenly Monarch, came to a sudden realization.

The Xuanwu Heavenly Palace Great Expert could ignore the first bolt of the heavenly tribulation without issue. However, the Heavenly Mechanism Immortal Palace Great Expert was far from capable of such a performance. Moreover, this was not a pretense; he had indeed sustained injuries, harmed by the Heavenly Dao’s punishment, too wary to feign resistance.

They couldn’t help but scorn him in their hearts, considering it overly weak.

Even in the face of the Heavenly Dao, one shouldn’t stoop to such submission; at the very least, one should die standing tall.

However, this disdainful and dismissive sentiment naturally held no sway over the powerful figure enduring the tribulation. His path, his existence, relied upon no one’s perceptions or judgments.

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

Bolts of Harmonization Thunder Tribulation fell one after another, while Xianmen’s actions continued uninterrupted—arranging formations targeting the Way of Heavenly Mechanism.

After over sixty years of intense study, Xianmen had deepened their understanding of Harmonization Stage capabilities. This made the process of arranging their formations smoother, with efficacy surpassing the time they confronted the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace Great Expert.

Countless Xianmen cultivators waited silently.

Several months later, as the final bolt of thunder struck down, the dark clouds dispersed, and the serene starry sky above Nine Spirit Realm reemerged.

Amidst the clearing, a frail elder draped in coarse robes appeared.

His body was riddled with scars—external on his flesh and internal upon his Divine Soul. He appeared bloodied and mangled, resembling a cultivator teetering on the brink of death.

Yet his aura radiated with incredible vitality and overwhelming magnitude.

Although merely a single individual, he transcended billions of lives, detached from the mortal world, residing at the heart of Destiny Rules Heavenly Dao Law Net, a favored child within the Heavenly Dao itself.

With a single thought, he could summon power far beyond the limits of Refining Nothingness, marking him as a Domain-Level being of unparalleled renown across the infinite cosmos.

“Fire the cannon.”

Far declared calmly.

He did not see any value in negotiations between the two sides.

This was an irreconcilable conflict of core interests; no room for compromise existed. Language held no value under these circumstances.

Buzz!

The Medium Thousand World Starry Sky World-Locking Array, the All Heavens Beidou Taibai Netherworld Curse Killing Array, and the Xianmen’s army formation of countless warships activated simultaneously. Chaos-infused runes erupted in unison, vast Elemental Magnet Rules Heavenly Dao Law Net spread outward, consuming all—overwhelming even the newly-formed Destiny Rules Heavenly Dao Law Net.

Boom!

At the center of the three seventh-tier formations, colossal banyan roots snaked and coiled like massive serpents. A grand banyan tree Destruction Cannon of ten thousand kilometers roared to life, unleashing a beam of destruction illuminating the entire Cosmic Star River.

Simultaneously, the Taibai Netherworld Sky Patrol Arrow, long prepared, detached from the Elemental Magnet Rules Heavenly Dao Law Net’s orbit in the starry sky. It shot toward the newly-ascended yet severely wounded Harmonization God Monarch, targeting the core of his Divine Soul.

Two lethal attacks converged as the Harmonization Thunder Tribulation faded away!

“Alas!”

“Far, Fellow Daoist, truly leaves no room for mercy.”

The Heavenly Mechanism Immortal Palace Great Expert chuckled bitterly.
