Chapter 370: Chapter 266: 6 Heavenly Thunders
This Ball Demon is indeed a bit weak...
Tie Dan turned his head, watching as the black ball was flung far away, flying for several miles and landing with a "crack" to create a big pit.
Alright then, actually, this black ball move is rather unique, clearly designed to break the Gang Fist Domineering Body. If it hits, it crushes bones, leaving nothing behind. It might be useful against the Martial God Generals of the Immortal Palace. But when it comes to sword fighting with the Mystic Sect, it’s really lacking a bit.
Charging takes too long, the stance is too obvious, the trajectory is too straightforward, and it needs to spit clouds and electric bolts, gradually speeding up. From charging to release, it doesn’t even move, covered in weaknesses everywhere.
Tie Dan thought to himself, could this demon be so arrogant as to stand in front of him charging a big attack, perhaps it has some Golden Body Dominance technique, making it invulnerable to blades, water, and fire?
But no, it’s just a turret, gathering its magic power at its fingertips, rubbing, rubbing, rubbing it into a ball, and then firing it off.
Wei Ji God Monarch’s tactical summary,
"Such childish tricks, not even worthy to engage in sword fighting with the Mystic Sect."
However, Tie Dan calculates and still has a reason to say,
"Senior, do not underestimate this move, I think they have come prepared, and perhaps it’s meant specifically to deal with you."
"Using this move against me?"
Tie Dan pointed at the deep pit in the ground.
"Once this magic bomb touches the ground, it silently vanishes in an explosion. It seems capable of destroying demon blood and flesh as well as Dao techniques and magic treasures. How could it not be powerful?"
The God Monarch was doubtful,
"Indeed, I haven’t seen such a thing, but what use is it if it doesn’t hit? Furthermore, looking at this damage area, its power doesn’t seem impressive at all?"
Tie Dan, seeing his complacency, intentionally exaggerated,
"It might not be effective against a single cultivator, but if you were to use it against an immobile target, wouldn’t it have miraculous effects? For example, in city sieges, breaking military lines, demolishing mountains and arrays? Do you think if this ball were to hit the array eye, could it collapse your grand formation?"
The God Monarch was momentarily stunned, then flew to the ground, picked up the soil for a closer examination, watching the sand grains slide from his fingertips. His face turned as grim as water,
"You are correct, the surrounding Dao power and Spiritual Qi have been utterly depleted. This technique could break my Daoist skill..."
Tie Dan pressed on,
"These demons didn’t actually need to use divine sense locking for their two attacks. It shows that although preparing the magic bomb is slow, forming the bomb and launching it are two separate actions. Once completed, it can simply be propelled and released into a bombing strike.
I suspect the first wave of demon riders were just scouts, with special means to communicate with this Ball Demon, providing it with firing coordinates. This Ball Demon only needs to unleash barrage after barrage from the rear.
Although it itself may not be great, its magic power is unbelievably astounding. Rapid fire is no problem at all, and if a large number of such demons gather behind, conjuring balls, then firing them simultaneously to blast mountains and destroy formations, how do you, senior, plan to counter it?"
God Monarch, "Hmm..."
Seeing the God Monarch fall into self-doubt, Tie Dan seized the opportunity,
"Moreover, this monster can fly, highly mobile, capable of rapid deployment, with significant strategic value. And it itself possesses Demon God-level strength, which even regular Nascent Soul cultivators cannot handle.
If we let the demons continue to grow unchecked, ravaging the Central Plains, assembling armies, frontline demon assaults, and Ball Demons shooting wildly in all directions, bombarding Wangwu Mountain, how could anyone retreat in peace to undergo the tribulation, and where would my Mysterious Sect’s heritage be?"
The God Monarch quickly computed with his fingers, his expression turning grave.
Tie Dan added more fuel,
"These past days, with the swarm of demons besieging Jing Mountain, God Monarch has witnessed it all clearly?
These demons grow and evolve far faster than cultivators. Once the demon fetuses hatch, they have Foundation Establishment-level strength. With just some nourishment from flesh and blood, they can form a Core and mature. The person behind this only needs to select some with great potential for special nurturing, and they can quickly upgrade to Demon God level.
In contrast, the entry threshold for my Mystic Sect disciples is so high; it takes hundreds of years of cultivation, reincarnation from Soldier Disintegration, followed by tribulation lightning. By the time one cultivates enough to have battle power, it’s too late.
I ask you, elders of the Mystic Sect, will we truly sit idly by and watch the demon tide grow to an unstoppable scale?"
Weiji God Monarch, seeing he wouldn’t stop, hurriedly replied,
"Alright, alright, stop speaking, I understand your point."
Then the God Monarch took out a talisman paper from his sleeve, ignited it, and murmured in some obscure dialect before the paper finished burning. Then turned to Tie Dan,
"I have reported today’s matters to Cloud Platform Peak, asking the heads for a decision. We should expect a response within three days. Let’s go to Beidu."
"Go to Beidu?"
Why is this old fellow suddenly so proactive?
"To see exactly what those demons are up to, whether they are as formidable as you claim. If they really have the capability to be my tribulation adversaries."
Weiji God Monarch said this while manipulating Qi to take Tie Dan flying into the sky, transforming into a rainbow light soaring toward the northwest. In a flash, they reached the Guyan Mountain Range, seeing the vast Hanhai from afar.
Hanhai means vast and extensive; it is Kan Country’s largest freshwater lake, even larger than the southern Yunmeng Swamp. Two great rivers flow directly into the North Pole Ruins. Back in the day, the Great General led troops on the Northern Expedition, reaching Guyan, ascending Hanhai, and then returning.
Since then, Guyan Hanhai became the northern capital of Kan Country. Around sixty to seventy percent of Kan Country’s population settled beside mountains and waters, living along the mountains and surrounding the sea. Kan Country Master’s Hanlan Palace is also built on an island in the lake’s center. Every winter, when Hanhai is icebound for a thousand miles, Duke Kan takes the Princely Heir and Princesses walking along the ice road all the way to Guyan Mountain for a heaven worship ceremony. The basic purpose is to educate these princes and princesses to remember the hardships of their predecessors expanding the territories, not to indulge in pleasures, forgetting the arduous journey of the predecessors. Of course, mainly because Kan Country is indeed too poor, without much land and titles to distribute.
