Chapter 1362: The Immortal Gate's Deputy Commander-in-Chief Appears in the Upper Realm

Immortal Gate Ninth Front Army Unmanned Fleet Group Army Cluster!

No, the official name of this fleet is the Immortal Gate Ninth Star-Sky Front Army First Guard Unmanned Group Army Cluster, responsible for guarding the Grand Army Commander-in-Chief, responsible for close protection, preventing decapitation strikes by the enemy.

The Immortal Gate Ninth Star-Sky Front Army is one of the framework Star-Sky Front Armies under the Immortal Gate Military Committee, with a registered military personnel count of 4,978,774 people, the majority being Immortal Gate elite soldiers of sergeant rank or above.

When necessary, conscript over one hundred million citizen soldiers to fill the ranks, supplement all manner of technical weapons, then undergo at most ten years of integrated training, and under the auxiliary command of the Central Array Spirit Computer, under the joint command of Immortal Gate Deputy Commander-in-Chief Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun and the Immortal Gate Soul Transformation officer corps, theoretically speaking it will possess Dao Merging tier combat power!

Of course, it must inevitably be weak Dao Merging tier combat power.

Because Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun simply does not possess the level of a seventh-tier Array Master and seventh-tier War Commander, having been forcibly elevated in level entirely by the Immortal Gate's ultra-high-quality officer corps and ultra-high-quality soldiers, as well as the Central Array Spirit Computer.

The Immortal Gate has always been vigilant in times of peace, with the entire populace being soldiers; when truly at a critical moment of danger, even mortal citizens can fill the trenches, there is nothing to fear, every ounce of strength must be put to use.

Moreover, weak Dao Merging combat power is still Dao Merging combat power, and on the battlefield it still has a role that cannot be ignored.

Now!

A steel city appeared between heaven and earth, with hundreds of thousands of aerospace motherships, aerospace warships, and aerospace fighters densely distributed across tens of thousands of kilometers of starry sky.

Countless military formation runes interlocked, boundless power converged through the formations, and moreover streams of strictly encrypted electromagnetic waves spread in all directions.

Falling upon the many Upper Realm sword cultivators, falling upon the ears of the many Dao Merging Divine Monarchs, it was a sizzling garbled sound.

But if it were Immortal Gate fleet, Immortal Gate citizens appearing here, what they would hear would be an entirely different sound.

"Immortal Gate Ninth Star-Sky Front Army Deputy Commander-in-Chief Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun Flagship..."

"Citizen Fleet... transfer of command authority..."

"... Error, danger... Correction, Citizen Fleet stay away from the dangerous battlefield, this is not the moment for group operations..."

The super warship Dahari's ship spirit Yunri was born with the duty of assisting the Commander-in-Chief in commanding the front army fleet, sending out command after command.

If the Immortal Gate citizen fleet group appeared here, ships with ranks below Deputy Commander-in-Chief would immediately be incorporated into the command system, this order carries compulsory force.

After an instant, having assessed the battlefield situation, the ship spirit immediately corrected its order.

Array spirits and ship spirits are precisely this kind of rule-abiding existence; even without the citizen fleet here, they still run through procedures meticulously without the slightest error.

The steel city and hundreds of thousands of various Immortal Gate warships spread out, and a terrifying grand formation appeared between heaven and earth.

Beneath this terrifying military formation, the nine in the sky—

The phenomenon of ten thousand bolts of heavenly thunder descending was instantly swept clean.

It was not that control over half the starry sky was regained, but rather that every single thunder phenomenon in this stretch of sky was utterly shattered!

Beneath such terrifying pressure, that Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Realm inheritance sword cultivator—whose skin was bloated like a ball, whose aura was violent and oppressive, whose skin showed streaks of transparent cracks, and whose aura had instantly multiplied several times over—gave a start, and a trace of stagnation appeared in the madness and killing intent within his thunder pupils.

The thunder destruction sword about to be swung down in Light Thunder Canghai Tianjun's hand stiffened as well.

He actually stopped for some unknown reason, as if encountering layer upon layer of mountains, unable to bring it down.

"Mechanism construct!"

"Mechanism construct! This is not a sword cultivator!"

Light Thunder Canghai Tianjun's pupils widened, looking in disbelief at everything unfolding before him: "Jiang Ding! Do you still possess even the tiniest, most minuscule shred of a sword cultivator's honor?"

"I had always thought that even though you were born of lowly origin, you at least possessed a sword cultivator's honor."

"You actually resorted to mechanism constructs!"

"Why has your sword heart not yet shattered? Having lost absolute trust in the sword, do you not fear your sword soul collapsing and perishing?!"

He roared.

"Foolish and ignorant!"

"You barbaric savage who doesn't even have a primary school diploma!"

"This is a sword sheath."

Jiang Ding stood amid the steel city and hundreds of thousands of Immortal Gate steel warships, amid the concealment of countless military formation runes, and said coldly: "Light Thunder, you are extremely fortunate; in this life you have obtained a glory beyond your own strength."

"This sword sheath was prepared by this Monarch for the Heavenly Sword Sword Child, prepared for the Immortal Butterfly Child, not for a mere inheritance disciple like you!"

"This glory, you should remember well."

"This Monarch has granted you supreme benevolence; if there is an underworld beneath the nine springs, you may boast to all the dead beings—this Monarch does not care..."

The Immortal Gate Deputy Commander-in-Chief within the fleet gently waved his hand downward.

Hum!

Hum hum!

In this stretch of heaven and earth and starry sky, the Heavenly Dao rules and the world's spiritual energy were unprecedentedly restless, violent, the spiritual energy and rules churning like a tsunami, boiling beyond compare.

An unprecedentedly colossal existence appeared between heaven and earth, freely displaying its pressure, proclaiming its existence.

Within that boiling heaven and earth, the shattered Six Paths of Reincarnation instantly recovered, and the Six Paths turned ceaselessly, finally fixing upon the Human Path—a life star, countless orbital giant cannons, and upon it tens of billions of living beings emerged, living, studying, conducting research within it, everything appearing orderly and methodical.

The Human Path reappeared!

The only difference was that the Human Path now possessed a tangible vessel: hundreds of thousands of Immortal Gate warships merged into the Human Path, the vast military formation spanning tens of thousands of kilometers merged into the Human Path, the super warship Dahari merged into—

—the Human Path, becoming a part of the Human Path.

All of these caused the aura of the Six Paths of Reincarnation's Human Path to exhibit a terrifying enhancement!

Beneath such a Human Path, even though Thunder Yang Heavenly Sword Realm inheritance sword cultivator Light Thunder Canghai Tianjun had multiplied his strength several times over and his pressure six times over, such that merely his aura and pressure could distort rules and space, it amounted to nothing.

"Ship cannon charging complete..."

"Military formation orbital structure complete, all warships in good condition, no anomalies..."

"Front Army General Command, requesting permission to fire."

Within the Human Path, the super warship Dahari's ship spirit Yunri received tremendous enhancement, processing millions of military orders in an instant, then reporting to the Fleet Commander-in-Chief.

"Permission to fire granted."

The order from the Front Army General Command arrived simultaneously.

Boom!

A tremendous roar that shook a hundred-thousand-kilometer stretch of sky and earth; space and rules were torn apart beneath the force of the counter-shock, shattering, with canyons and abysses appearing across the mountains and rivers, heaving and undulating like boiling water.

Amidst the tens of billions of crisscrossing magnetar-order runes, hundreds of thousands of immortal-sect warships and warplanes fired in unison with a thunderous roar. Hundreds of thousands of destructive light pillars rose up, weaving through countless profound formation runes as they converged toward the central army flagship's main annihilation cannon, forming a dazzlingly brilliant, blindingly radiant beam of destruction that illuminated the entire starry sky.

In this strike of annihilation!

The entire world and starry sky dimmed, leaving only this single light remaining — a light that profoundly embodied destruction and magnetar order. It filled the entire vision of Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun, the inheritor sword cultivator of the Thunder Yang Heaven Sword Realm, as the terrifying killing intent of annihilation bloomed forth.
