Chapter 19: Terrifying Destructive Power

Night gradually descended, the stars in the sky were shining, and the evening breeze was blowing gently across the back mountain of the Grand Void Gate!

Xu Que stood on the top of the mountain, with a huge black cannon placed beside him. His hands were behind his back, his robes were fluttering, and he was looking at a big tree in the distance!

That would be the target for him to test the power of the "Divine Might Charging Cannon" later.

After all, the strongest strike of a peak Nascent Soul Stage expert was no joke. Xu Que definitely had to move to this mountain to test its power, otherwise, if he accidentally blew up the Grand Void Gate, I'm afraid Su Cloud Sect Master would bite him to death on the spot!

And at this time, Su Cloud Sect Master and the two Elders, including several Golden Core Stage disciples, were also on their way!

This beautiful Sect Master's mood was somewhat helpless at this time. For the so-called "Divine Might Charging Cannon" that took a day to make, Su Cloud Sect Master really had no confidence at all, feeling that Xu Que was just messing around!

And the two Elders, upon learning from Su Cloud Sect Master that Xu Que had made an artillery piece, also showed strange expressions.

While on the way, one of the Elders asked, "Sect Master Su, I heard from the disciple guarding the treasure vault that Xu Que moved all the Black Iron away. Was it just to make this artillery piece?"

"Yes!" Su Cloud Sect Master nodded calmly.

The two Elders' expressions immediately collapsed, and they were on the verge of tears.

"This... this is the last of our Black Iron!"

"Although it's not precious or rare, the price is extremely expensive. Wasting it like this is truly... sigh, forget it!"

Both of them sighed for a while!

None of them felt that the artillery used by mortal armies in war could pose any threat when facing cultivators. Even if it was modified well, it would ultimately not be as good as a Dharma Spell!

So this time, coming to the back mountain to see Xu Que test the cannon, everyone was thinking of watching "fireworks," just to celebrate the destruction of the Blood Sea Sect.

Only Su Cloud Sect Master appeared very calm. In her view, wasting a batch of Black Iron didn't matter. After all, this was Xu Que's intention to help the Grand Void Gate, and she was somewhat moved.

Over the years, supporting the entire sect alone, she was already very tired. Now that Xu Que was willing to share some troubles for her, even if it was of no use, it was a comfort to her!

Before long, Su Cloud Sect Master and her party arrived at the top of the back mountain.

Seeing the pitch-black, golden-rune-engraved big cannon beside Xu Que, everyone was speechless for a while!

Xu Que couldn't be bothered to pay attention to their expressions. He pointed to the opposite mountain top and asked them, "It won't affect anything if I fire this shot at the mountain opposite, right?"

"No problem, there are no residents on the opposite mountain, only some wild beasts wandering around. Fellow Daoist Xu, feel free to try!" Su Cloud Sect Master replied lightly.

The two Elders also nodded, but their expressions were still somewhat absent-minded and slightly bored.

They felt that they hadn't seen mortal artillery before. If this shot was fired, it would at most blast out a big pit. Besides that, what other impact could it have!

"Good, then I'll try it. Today, let's witness the first shot of this Divine Might Charging Cannon together!" Xu Que said loudly and walked towards the Divine Might Charging Cannon!

Everyone's eyes also fell on him. Xu Que took a deep breath and shouted in his heart, the moment to act cool has arrived!

Following that, his fingers moved, opening a small groove cover on the cannon, and he pinched out a low-grade Spirit Stone from the storage ring he had obtained from killing the Nascent Soul Stage expert earlier!

The Spirit Stone emitted a dark green luster, as transparent as jade, and he pressed it directly into the groove!

The two Elders of the Grand Void Gate immediately let out an "Eh." Aren't artillery pieces all loaded with gunpowder and cannonballs first, and then lit with a torch? They had never seen one that required a Spirit Stone to be put in first.

Su Cloud Sect Master was stunned and suddenly remembered what Xu Que had said last night. This was a cannon that only consumed Spirit Stones!

"Could it be... what he said is true?" A thought suddenly popped into Su Cloud Sect Master's mind, but it was immediately suppressed by her. She felt it was impossible, and she didn't dare to believe it. After all, this was truly too shocking!

"Snap!"

At this moment, Xu Que suddenly clapped his hands together, his ten fingers danced rapidly, and he pinched out a complex and obscure Dharma Seal!

Immediately, a golden spiritual power rushed out, covering his ten fingers, like a golden flame burning!

"Open!"

Xu Que opened his eyes wide, shouted in a deep voice, and his palms, carrying that golden spiritual power, suddenly patted the tail end of the pitch-black artillery!

"Hum!"

Instantly, the artillery body emitted a deep, bell-like vibration. Countless golden runes on the surface instantly brightened, blooming with dazzling golden radiance, scorching and brilliant!

"Eh... what's going on?"

The two Elders of the Grand Void Gate were somewhat surprised. This didn't seem to be an ordinary artillery piece!

Su Cloud Sect Master's small mouth opened slightly, her face full of shock!

At the same time, the golden runes on the Divine Might Charging Cannon had brightened to the extreme. The scorching radiance gradually condensed in the cannon barrel, like a golden sun, suddenly illuminating the entire pitch-black night!

"Boom!"

Following that, the majestic golden radiance suddenly turned into a beam of light, instantly erupting from the cannon barrel and blasting directly towards the opposite mountain top!

The entire night sky instantly turned into daylight, and the sudden blinding radiance also made Su Cloud Sect Master and the others unable to help but close their eyes.

"Boom—!"

The next moment, a heaven-shaking loud noise seemed to explode in their ears, making their eardrums ache and buzz!

When they opened their eyes again, the light gradually weakened and was no longer so blinding!

But Su Cloud Sect Master and the others looked at everything in front of them and were completely dumbfounded!

The huge mountain that was originally there now looked like it had been cut in half by someone. The entire mountain top had disappeared without a trace, and the broken part was as smooth as a mirror!

Such terrifying destructive power, even Su Cloud Sect Master and the others asked themselves that they couldn't do it, absolutely couldn't do it!

After all, that was a mountain, a huge mountain peak!

But now, with just this one shot, it had been reduced to ashes!

"Sect Master Su, I have a method that can exempt the Grand Void Gate from the harassment of the Demon Sect from now on, and can even leap to become the most powerful sect within the vicinity of Wind Fog City."

"Sect Master Su, look clearly. This is the Divine Might Charging Cannon. One low-grade Spirit Stone can make it fire ten shots, and each shot is comparable to the strongest strike of a peak Nascent Soul Stage expert..."

In an instant, the words Xu Que said last night seemed to echo in Su Cloud Sect Master's ears, word for word, clearly echoing in her ears!

Su Cloud Sect Master completely lost her mind!

If it was said that she was shocked by Xu Que killing multiple Nascent Soul Stage experts alone before, that could ultimately be accepted by her. After all, in this Great Thousand World, there would always be a few monster geniuses!

But the scene in front of her now, she really couldn't accept it!

It only took one night!

Just relying on one blueprint!

Using a pile of Black Iron, he actually forged an artillery piece comparable to a peak Nascent Soul Stage expert!

How could this be accepted! ===== CHAPTER 20 =====
