Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

In the Sun Observation Platform, that terrifying figure shone like a star, imposing pressure in all directions.

His aura surged dramatically in a very short time, which was already something, but then, it grew even more, further escalating at the Quasi-Heavenly Stage!

This was truly strange and terrifying, completely defying common sense and difficult to explain scientifically.

The enhancement of the Immortal Sect Fleet's strength was all traceable, from personnel training, warship supplementation, the continuous increase of Void Refining and Divinity Transformation cultivators among the officers, to the gradual changes in battle and formation methods, filled with sweat, accumulating drop by drop... The development of technology and civilization was supposed to be like this.

However!

One life, one individual, in just a short time, had a strength growth that was almost warp-like, completely suppressing the entire civilization.

One person became stronger than the entire Immortal Dao Civilization of the Xianmen Sect!

Yes, at this moment, almost the instant the Great Sun Sword Master's strength surged again, the vigil levels of the Central Formation Spirit Computer, the Immortal Sect Central Army Group Fleet, and the Immortal Sect Military Committee all instantly skyrocketed to the highest level, with almost all fleets urgently entering a state of combat readiness.

All high-ranking generals of the Immortal Sect had their hairs stand on end, extremely vigilant.

This was unrelated to loyalty, unrelated to ideological or moral character, unrelated to stance, entirely a civilization's instinctive response.

A terrifying life form with strength surpassing an entire civilization, a terrifying existence capable of annihilating the Xianmen Sect, even without any malicious intent.

In such circumstances, who would dare to be completely at ease?

Standing next to a fierce tiger, who dares to say there's no danger?

"Gentlemen,"

"This day has finally come..."

In the Immortal Sect Military Committee, Yuan sighed deeply: "Xianmen, on its journey, has seen many Immortal Dao Civilizations, including the Nine Great Immortal Sects with their ancient legacies, the Demon Race civilization like the Black Corner Ant Clan, and the Devil God Sect following the legacy of the Heavenly Men, all kinds, with diverse forms of civilization."

"Yet almost all civilizations uphold the strongest individual as supreme, without exception."

"And today, everything that happened has once again clearly demonstrated to us the most essential lesson within: In Immortal Dao Civilizations, the most elite individual elites are truly terrifying, truly fearsome!"

"Whether in growth speed, research efficiency, or mobility, survivability, in almost every metric, they surpass collective Immortal Dao Civilizations, holding overwhelming advantages in nearly every aspect."

"The common evolutionary direction in the universe's various civilizations is not without reason."

That day had finally come.

The Great Sun Sword Master already possessed the power to subjugate the entire Xianmen Sect!

If he wanted, he could now slaughter all resistance forces within the Xianmen Sect, and reorganize it with those cultivators absolutely loyal to him.

Reorganize an Immortal Sect entirely belonging to him, obedient to him!

Everything would face no obstacle.

His power was too strong.

He was born in the Xianmen Sect, grew up in the Xianmen Sect, too familiar with the situation of the Xianmen Sect, and if he chose to attack, many measures meant for defending against external threats would be essentially useless.

When a person, possesses power completely free of constraints and checks and balances,

Will he change?

Will he?

Won't he?

Yuan Deng of the Immortal Sect Political Council tossed and turned, deeply troubled.

Historically, there are countless examples of individuals with high moral character changing abruptly due to changes in external environments, and examples of such are too numerous to mention.

Sima Xuanwang, Wang Mang, who, slashing the knife, does not bear for the youthful head... and many, many other historical figures.

In the first half of their lives, they were models of the world, morally noble, esteemed by others.

At that time, were they pretending?

No, it was not pretension.

Noone can feign such excellence for decades at the risk of their own life.

At that time, they were sincere, willing to sacrifice, willing to die for their ideals, bravely charging toward hell.

They were considered pure, disinterested in base pursuits.

If they had died then, being canonized in history would have been inevitable.

However, in the latter half of their lives, they went through such abrupt and despicable changes, thoroughly losing any virtue, to the condemnation of millions.

Such abrupt changes would immediately prompt scorn and ridicule from audiences if they appeared in a movie, deemed not to make sense at all, with no reason whatsoever, as if the screenwriter had gone mad.

Yet, in reality, in history, these seemingly unreasonable events repeatedly occurred.

Not once or twice,

But three, four, five times, tens of times, tens of thousands of times!

"Alas!"

"Truly hope to not witness such a scenario..."

Divine Machine True Venerate murmured.

That terrifying powerhouse was someone they watched grow up, from a sixteen-year-old in college to now nearly two thousand years old, a Domain Ruler-level powerhouse, a timeless elder, all kept deeply within memory.

Surrounding Yuan within the Immortal Sect Political Council, as well as in the now convened expanded meeting of Immortal Sect Void Refining Generals, many Immortal Sect elites were completely silent.

Among these Void Refining Cultivators, some had indifferent expressions, hidden murderous intent, and had already made their decisions;

Some appeared firm on the surface, but were hesitating and vacillating deep within their Divine Souls, uncertain if they could be trusted in the critical moment of besieging that horrifying powerhouse;

Some remained composed, as if there was nothing that could shake them;

...

Various Void Refining Cultivators of the Xianmen Sect, all distinct with none exactly alike.

This exemplifies the extreme complexity of internal warfare, unable to unite easily like in external warfare, incapable of being effortlessly twisted into a single rope.

"Orders!"

"Maintain the highest level of vigilance."

"But do not make any moves that could cause misunderstandings, everything should be as usual, customary, without any changes."

Yuan demonstrated a cold demeanor for the first time.

He eyed a bit fiercely, seemingly nonchalantly scanning over some Void Refining Sword Cultivators and those with extremely close connections with the terrifying powerhouse, indifferently saying, "Believe in him."

"Everyone's interests, everyone's emotions, everyone's path, are tightly entwined, inseparable."

"It's very likely, he won't do anything."

"I have a 99.99% confidence, rest assured, everyone."

"If, however,"

"A 0.01% minor probability event occurs..."

Yuan coldly smiled: "I, the Immortal Sect Political Council, and all Immortal Sect Citizens will surely make sure the enemy understands that even if we are completely wiped out, we will exact an unforgettable price for all eternity."

"What do you think?"

Cold words, terrifying pressure.

At that moment, many Immortal Sect elites suddenly realized, this elder who always smiled warmly and kindly completely transformed into a terrifying person.

At that moment, many recalled that this was the Domain Overlord who led the Xianmen Sect to rise from insignificance!

When he showed his edge, murderous intent, and unwavering will, he exuded a chilling and ruthless charm that commanded respect, inspiring even to follow him unto death.

"For the Immortal Sect Citizens!"

Wanji True Venerate shouted.

"Immortal Sect Citizens!"

"Immortal Sect Citizens! Immortal Sect Citizens!"

"Immortal Sect Citizens..."

Divine Machine True Venerate, Canghai True Venerate, Taoqing Venerable Sage, one by one Immortal Sect True Venerates stood up, their eyes blazing as they shouted excitedly.

At that moment, much of the hesitation and wavering in the hearts of many disappeared, and even many Immortal Sect Void Refining Sword Cultivators suddenly made a firm decision, shouting vigorously.
