Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery Chapter 185 176 The Crushing of the Iron Tide (Renamed)1

The Group Army called an online eting for officers at the regintal level and above.

After a glance, Jiang Ding noted that following the descent and series of attacks by the Xuanwu tiangong cultivators, only nineteen of the original twenty-five divisions remained, and they had already completed reorganization.

"The formation nodes on the eastern side of the West Desert have been identified."

Xu Jianian projected a map onto the screen, pointing to a mountain peak, "The West Desert's native major sect, Changhe Sword Sect, was once led by a late-stage Post-golden Alchemist. Later, the sect and its people were destroyed by the Fairy Gate and Xuanwu tiangong working together, and the sect's remnants pledged allegiance to Xuanwu tiangong. The enemies we encountered when we landed were them."

"According to a captive offspring of a Changhe Sword Sect Golden Pill Monk, all of the sect's Foundation-building cultivators had been bound by restrictions through Tool embryos by Xuanwu tiangong's Substitute Daoist Master. If they rebel, they imdiately turn into a pile of flesh and blood; they are hard to sway."

"It's feasible with Qi Practitioners, Xuanwu tiangong is particularly cruel to small sect cultivators, not even fit to be dogs."

Substitute Daoist Master!

Jiang Ding's heart shook.

To practice Jing-level Cultivation thod, one of Xuanwu tiangong's strongest foundation-building quartet!

This was not a foe one could take on single-handedly.

"The key to this battle lies with !"

Xu Jianian stated unabashedly, "As long as I am not beheaded, there is still hope, but if I am beheaded, no matter how many are left, there is no hope at all!"

"So the premise of all your actions must be to consider my safety as the basis!"

His words were sowhat uncomfortable, but nobody objected.

Second-order War Commanders have that kind of ability.

Jiang Ding didn't say anything either.

If he had reached the Late-Stage Foundation Building, he would have gone to fight alone long ago, hardly bothering about these matters.

"If nobody has any questions, the eting is dismissed, target Changhe Sword Sect, move out!"

Xu Jianian declared definitively.

The conference connection was disconnected.

Within a nearly hundred-kiloter range, the roar of engines reverberated continuously, the Iron Tide advanced, along the way uprooting huge trees and leveling mountain stones, and occasionally smoothing out deep ravines.

Roar roar!

Many big monsters at the Foundation Establishnt stage were disturbed, roaring ceaselessly, with presences from the early, middle, and peak stages, spread both in the sky and underground.

They and their bloodlines were this domain's oldest rulers!

But now, their entire race was facing doomsday.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Tens of thousands of armor-piercing cruise missiles soared across the sky, occasionally whistling as they descended.

Any creature without extrely high Concealnt ability was instantly subrged by the shells, turning into an indistinguishable pile of at paste.

Hiding underground was futile.

Armor-piercing shells enhanced with Earth-splitting Spells and acceleration spells easily penetrated dozens of ters of earth, obliterating monsters deep under the ground.

Jiang Ding observed the battlefield spanning dozens of kiloters through drones, truly shocked in his heart.

Facing the Sky Palace Foundation Monks there weren't many issues, the battle was tough but while fighting these confused monsters, the true overwhelming dominance of a Domain Overlord was on full display!

This was the fate of these monsters,

And it was the sa for the cultivators of sects below the Nine Great Immortal Sects!

Only those few Foundation Building-stage monsters with superior bloodline talents and a specialty in Concealnt survived the calamity.

If they hid well and good, but should they dare to retaliate, after inflicting so casualties on the tanks, they would be imdiately subrged by a barrage of more armor-piercing shells.

It wasn't long before a hundred-kiloter radius beca completely silent.

The Iron Tide continued its advancent, destroying all obstructing beings and terrain along the way, whether monsters or lifeless objects, leaving behind deep track marks.

Within those marks, drops of blood mingled with the soil, rging into one.

The thundering of heavy artillery, the scent of gunpowder, and the screams of monsters facing death stirred the desert's quietude back to life.

Many awakened monsters roared angrily for a mont, then were abruptly petrified with fear, frantically fleeing in all directions, clearing a wide path for the advancing army of steel tanks.

"If you can't avoid it, and you can't hide, you die!"

The Iron Tide had been marching for four days, advancing over 13,000 kiloters and penetrating almost half of the West Desert.

No need for any stops to resupply, as large space storage equipnt could et all needs, and soldiers could also travel in track-armored vehicles.

The sound of rushing water filled the air, and the humidity increased substantially.

A river appeared in the drone's field of view, standing out starkly in the desert, resembling a jade belt unfurling across the land, with even the narrowest part being five kiloters wide.

"The Mohe River... Changhe Sword Sect."

Jiang Ding watched with astonishnt at this miracle in the desert.

"Headquarters, this river stretches over a thousand kiloters, appearing abruptly and vanishing just as suddenly, the water brackish and salty."

Xu Si explained, "At the conference, so speculated that the West Desert is connected to an unknown sea area due to so unforeseen reason."

"That's possible."

Jiang Ding nodded, a thought stirring in his mind.

Fairy Gate citizens, as long as they had this title, could not be subjected to any Spirit Soul Restrictions or cursed.

In other words, objectively speaking, these people were all free.

There was no ti to ponder, as the Army Group conference was called once again.

"Relying solely on levitation and other magic, it is too risky for heavy equipnt to cross the river. We need to build a bridge and there may be attacks, so we must construct a Second-Order Electromagnetic Induction Wave Formation in advance."

"Order: The 11th Division and the 12th Division to build the formation ten kiloters away from the river. Other divisions to stay on alert and send specialists in formations to assist."

It was called a conference, but once Xu Jianian and others arrived, they issued direct orders.

Many classmates disliked this autocratic decision, but after a mont of thought, they offered no objections, allowing it to pass.

The 11th Division and 12th Division where Zhou Lingling was, went to the designated location to survey the terrain, spiritual energy flows, and calculate the formation nodes, with An Siyan even assisting in the calculations from afar.

The exam had gathered the elite of the younger generation of the Immortal Sects, and there was an abundance of talent. Just the First-Order Array Masters in the East Army Group numbered at least seventy to eighty people, including Jiang Ding.

There were also seven or eight Second-Order Array Masters.

In just over ten minutes, a complete and detailed Second-Order Electromagnetic Induction Fluctuation Formation was calculated, and the two divisions began construction.

It was estimated that in nine hours, the construction would be complete, significantly enhancing the scouting distance and accuracy for the entire army.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

About three or four hours later, when the formation was nearly halfway completed, the earth's ley lines suddenly fluctuated violently, an earthquake struck as if a dragon beneath the land had turned over, engulfing the half-built formation.

Hundreds of tanks were crushed flat, with over a thousand casualties.

"A Second-Order Top-Level Formation disturbing the ley lines, with both concealnt and the ability to amplify casting distance and power," said Xu Jianian coolly, quickly determining the location of this formation without any surprise.

"Fire!"

In an instant,

The two divisions, with over four thousand tank artillery pieces, fired. Projectiles imbued with Earth-splitting and Acceleration magic traced white lines across the sky, screeching as they subrged a small, yellow hill so twenty kiloters away, reducing it to dust.

"Continue setting up the formation."

The 11th and 12th Divisions continued their work, and again, they were t with waves of tremors.

This cycle repeated three tis, destroying three formations set up by Xuanwu Heavenly Palace in advance, any slight ergence leading to their obliteration.

"That should be about it."

Xu Jianian showed disdain, "This is the level of Xuanwu Heavenly Palace's command of formations. Even with ample ti, being able to set up these Second-Order Top-Level Formations in this small area is an accomplishnt."

Indeed, just as he anticipated, this ti the Second-Order Electromagnetic Induction Wave Formation was successfully set up.

A beam of white light spread out from the center of the formation, clearing chaotic electromagnetic fluctuations within a radius of sixty kiloters, significantly boosting the precision and range of the Electromagnetic Induction Wave Technique.

"Build the river crossing artifact."

"I want to see if the cultivators from Xuanwu Heavenly Palace dare to attack now?"
