Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

Li Mu surveyed the battlefield, with all the battles and killings under his control.

At this moment, Xiao Jingtian's eyes were like lightning, his divine light burning brightly, and there was only one person in his eyes: the golden puppet war commander with a thousand-foot battle body in front of him, codenamed "Ares"!

"war!"

A furious roar exploded from Xiao Jingtian's throat, the sound wave like thunder, actually shaking the void and creating ripples! The dragon-patterned war spear in his hand hummed loudly, the silver light at the spear tip surged a hundred feet, man and spear became one, transforming into a divine rainbow that tore through the heavens and earth, straight into the sky, straight for Ares's core!
This spear has no variations, no tricks, only pure power and ultimate speed! The way of the Immortal Dynasty's warriors has always been to forge ahead without hesitation, and to shatter all laws with a single thrust of the spear!
Faced with this earth-shattering blow, War General Ares' eyes flashed with blue light, and a torrent of data surged like a galaxy, instantly performing millions of calculations.

[Target locked: Speed ​​exceeding ten times the speed of light, energy level—peak Immortal King.]

Trajectory analysis complete. Hit probability: 100%.

[Optimal response: Hard block.]

Cold logic, a decision made in a fraction of a second. Ares advanced instead of retreating, the energy circuits beneath his alloy armor overloaded, crimson light gushing forth like blood! His energy battle axe trembled violently, the dark red blade on its edge growing a thousand feet long, carrying the power to sever laws and annihilate all living beings, as it slashed down fiercely!

[Execute Command: Annihilation Slash!]

boom--! ! !
The spear tip and the axe blade collided with a deafening roar!

It was not the clash of metal, but the collision of two great traditions! The silver light was like the sharp edge of the immortal path, unstoppable and full of vitality; the dark red axe light was like the blade of order, cold and ruthless, born for annihilation.

At the impact center, a black hole suddenly formed and then exploded!

A terrifying storm, like a raging, ring-shaped tide, swept outwards. Wherever it passed, celestial soldiers and golden puppets were reduced to ashes, leaving no trace. The void cracked open with jagged gashes, from which chaotic energy surged forth, only to be churned into nothingness fragments by the storm.

At the heart of the storm, Xiao Jingtian's body trembled violently. A pure, immense force emanated from the spear, ruthless and unrestrained, directly suppressing his primordial spirit. His Immortal King power surged wildly, his battle body humming as if about to crack, and he was blasted back thousands of feet, leaving a trail of silver afterglow.

Ares was not having an easy time either. A tiny crack appeared where the tip of the spear touched the blade of his battle axe! A domineering battle intent invaded along the crack, disrupting his internal energy circuit. His thousand-foot body was actually blasted back a hundred feet, and his feet plowed out two blazing trails in the void.

The first exchange was evenly matched!
"Such powerful strength! Such a tough body!" Xiao Jingtian steadied himself, a trace of golden immortal blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Far from being afraid, his eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit!

He licked the blood from his lips, his eyes growing brighter. This was the opponent he craved! This was the life-or-death battle that would ignite his blood!
"Come again!"

With a long roar that ripped through the sky, Xiao Jingtian's figure swayed, and nine afterimages appeared in the void. Each of the afterimages held a dragon-patterned battle spear and attacked Ares from nine directions with nine different killing moves!
Immortal Technique: Nine Dragons Clone!

This is his signature move. Each of the nine shadows possesses 70% of the original body's combat power. When the nine bodies attack together, their power is doubled, like nine dragons devouring the sky!

[WARNING: Multiple high-energy targets detected.]

[Battle logic activated: "All Things" mode.]

Ares's eyes flashed with blue light as he responded precisely to the onslaught. His massive battle armor, towering a thousand feet tall, transformed and reformed with a deafening roar!
"Crack! Click!"

Amidst a piercing metallic clang, four new arms emerged from behind, each wielding an energy shield, a high-frequency blade, and a shockwave cannon. The shoulder cannons opened, unleashing two beams of destructive energy directly at Xiao Jingtian's main body; the six arms moved in unison, precisely intercepting the other eight clones!
In an instant, spear shadows rained down, axe flashes were like lightning, and immortal techniques and torrents of energy collided violently, causing the laws of that void to become disordered and nearly collapse!
Xiao Jingtian grew increasingly fierce in battle, his spear techniques sweeping and powerful, yet subtly agile. At times, they were like a raging dragon emerging from the abyss, unstoppable; at other times, like a nimble snake weaving through cracks, cunning and ruthless. Every spear thrust contained the true essence of battle, every strike capable of annihilating an ordinary Immortal King!

Yet his opponent was like a flawless killing machine. No matter how ingenious or swift the gunplay, Ares could always calculate the optimal response within a fraction of a second. His defense was like an iron wall, his counterattacks like thunder, every movement flawless, displaying a cold, efficient beauty.

With a single thrust, the spear's intent transforms into "Broken Army Starfall," capable of piercing through stars.

Ares crossed his shields to block the spear, while his other two arms, wielding sharp blades, were already slashing toward his wrists from an unbelievable angle.

Xiao Jingtian shifted his spear stance, sweeping across like "dragons fighting in the wild," the silver light transforming into a continuous curtain of light.

Ares combined his six arms into one, transforming into a giant diamond that forcefully pierced the sky and struck straight at the center!
"Damn it! This guy... has no flaws!"

After hundreds of rounds of fierce fighting, Xiao Jingtian's heart turned serious for the first time. His combat power had reached its peak, and he was superficially suppressing Ares, but such suppression was meaningless! His attacks could at most leave shallow marks on the opponent's indestructible body, and those marks were repaired by the liquid metal in his body in just a few breaths!
This is not a body of flesh and blood, but a war fortress that can regenerate infinitely!
Just as Xiao Jingtian and Ares were locked in a fierce battle, the entire battlefield quietly began to veer into a bizarre situation.

"Kill! Fight for the glory of the Immortal Dynasty!"

The vanguard, composed of tens of thousands of elite troops from the Immortal Dynasty, was like a red-hot blade, piercing fiercely into the cold, buttery mass of the Golden Puppet Army.

The immortal arts are dazzling, and the supernatural powers fill the sky!
A celestial general unleashed a magical treasure from the celestial mountain, which crashed down and instantly crushed tens of thousands of "arbitrators" into iron discs.

On the other side, a hundred sword immortals formed the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Sword Formation," their sword light weaving a net like a giant meat grinder. Wherever it passed, the golden puppets shattered, and metal fragments flew like rain.

The initial offensive was devastating! The Immortal Dynasty's individuals were powerful, their techniques were profound, and their experience was superb. Faced with these "iron puppets" who only knew how to execute orders, their casualty ratio was astonishing.

However, the situation gradually changed.

These golden golems are fearless and endless!

The front row was annihilated by the divine magic, turning into metallic dust, and the back row immediately filled in with milliseconds of precision, as if what had been erased was merely a line of insignificant code.

What's even more terrifying is that they are learning and evolving!

Initially, the celestial array could easily withstand its energy beams. However, in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the frequency of the golden puppets' volley of energy suddenly changed, and their penetrating power increased dramatically, actually beginning to shake the celestial array's light barrier!
A celestial army skilled in fire magic incinerated a million golden puppets, achieving a resounding victory. However, in an instant, the enemy ranks unleashed a large number of "frost" units covered in heat-insulating ceramic and wielding freezing rays, specifically designed to counter their fire.

One of the "Shadow" golden golems had been trapped in the illusion array and suffered heavy losses. The next moment, all the "Shadows" had anti-illusion modules loaded into their eyes, rendering the illusion array useless!
The Golden Puppet Civilization is like a super AI. The battlefield is a chessboard, and every fallen Golden Puppet is a data sample. It analyzes the Celestial Dynasty's battle tactics at a terrifying speed, adjusts its strategies in real time, and compensates for weaknesses.

Gradually, the Immortal Dynasty's offensive was firmly contained.

From unstoppable momentum to utter impasse, each celestial soldier faced an enemy several times their size and increasingly formidable. The golden puppet's honeycomb formation, like a quagmire with its own consciousness, held them firmly, constantly devouring their celestial essence and life force.

"General! This is bad! These iron lumps are too troublesome; casualties are starting to rise!"

"General! Urgent report from the Seventh Fleet: The Immortal Ship's shields are being depleted extremely quickly under concentrated fire, and the enemy's attacks are precisely hitting the weakest points of the shields!"

"General! Look at the entrance!"

A rapid thought entered Xiao Jingtian's mind, startling him. In his haste, he glanced sideways and his pupils constricted—

The gap in the "Order Crystal Wall" that was blasted open by the Rift Universe's "Annihilation Spirit Cannon" is now shimmering with strange light. Countless metallic law runes are wriggling like living things, converging from all directions, and are slowly repairing the huge crack at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The Heavenly Dao of this realm is undergoing self-repair!
Once the breach is closed, the vanguard fleet will be isolated and forever trapped in this cold metal prison!

"Damn it!" Xiao Jingtian was anxious, and his spear thrust became even faster. The spear moved like a dragon, and thousands of spear flowers bloomed at once, forcing Ares to retreat repeatedly.

"Break it for me!"

He roared, unleashing his battle potential. His body shone with divine light like the sun in the sky, and his spear, carrying immense divine power, pierced straight into Ares's chest!

clang--!
With a deafening roar, Ares's dark gold armor was finally pierced, leaving a fist-sized hole! The domineering spear intent penetrated his body, wantonly destroying his core circuitry.

However, before Xiao Jingtian could rejoice, he saw silver liquid metal gushing out of the hole, instantly filling it and restoring it to its original state. Ares' electronic eye flashed red and returned to normal.

Physical injuries: 3.14%.

[Fixed.]

Threat level upgraded; 'eradicate' protocol initiated.

A wave of icy intent swept through Xiao Jingtian's mind, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

He finally understood—ordinary tactics could not kill this enemy, much less defeat this army!

The power of the Golden Puppet lies not in its individual units, but in the "network" that connects billions of entities into a unified whole! The war mastermind, codenamed "Primordial," high in the clouds, is the root of all evil!
As long as the network exists, the Golden Puppet will never die!
At this moment, he was being relentlessly entangled by the opponent's most powerful "antivirus program"!
No! We can't afford to waste any more time!
Xiao Jingtian's divine sense was as sharp as lightning, rapidly deducing the situation. His gaze swept across the battlefield like a hawk choosing its prey.

A direct, forceful attack has led to a stalemate; the only way to break this deadlock is to find another way!
The strengths of the Golden Puppet lie in its overall structure, network, and unified scheduling. What are its weaknesses?
Short, and online too!

Every network has nodes and hubs! If you can destroy the command node, you can cause this sophisticated machine to "lag" and "slow down"!
On the battlefield, those colossal creatures with sizes far exceeding the norm, strong energy fluctuations, and constantly emitting invisible command waves are none other than the "regional servers" of the Golden Puppet Army.
"Have it!"

Xiao Jingtian's eyes flashed with a sharp light; his plan had succeeded!
He suddenly forced Ares back with a single shot, then retreated thousands of miles away. At the same time, he transformed his supreme will into a general's order, which was instantly transmitted throughout the entire army through the Immortal Dynasty's command system!
"All fleets, listen up!"

"Abandon the frontal assault! The entire army will break into smaller units, with 100 men forming 'War Wolves' and 1,000 men forming 'Greedy Wolves,' to hunt freely!"

"Target: All 'command-type' golden puppets in the enemy ranks that are over ten zhang in size!"

"No lingering battle! One strike and then retreat! With the agility of our Immortal Dynasty cultivators, let's completely disrupt this desolate battlefield!"

"Vanguard soldiers! Follow me to behead them! Pierce through the iron curtain and tear a bloody path for the army!"

This order resounded like a thunderclap, echoing in the hearts of every soldier of the Celestial Dynasty!
Break it down into smaller groups? Free hunting?

How audacious, almost insane! This order completely overturns the Immortal Dynasty's usual tactics of using imposing formations and overwhelming the enemy with sheer force!

However, no one questioned it!

The one who gave the order was none other than the God of War—Xiao Jingtian!

"As ordered!"

"kill--!"

The formation of the Celestial Dynasty army instantly "exploded"! The cone-shaped battle formation that had gathered like a torrent instantly transformed into thousands of agile and dynamic streams, like fish swimming against the current, penetrating the Golden Puppet Ocean in the opposite direction!

The form of war has been completely overturned!
Xiao Jingtian himself transformed into the sharpest blade, no longer entangled with Ares, his gaze fixed on the rear of the Golden Puppet Army—among the twelve war generals, a giant floating fortress that was faintly visible and whose command waves surged like a tide!
Capture the thief first and capture the king!
He wanted to kill the enemy's frontline commander!

"Iron lump! Your opponent is me!"

With a roar, the Valley Master of Burning Heaven rode on a raging inferno of immortal fire and took the initiative to meet Ares, who was in pursuit. The powerful figures such as the King of Sea Suppression also made their moves, each blocking a War Commander!
"Brothers, follow me!"

With his spear pointed out, Xiao Jingtian's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. He led his elite guards in a desperate charge, like a silver lightning bolt shooting against the current, towards the deepest part of the enemy formation!
With a flick of his spear, Xiao Jingtian unleashed a battle intent as fierce as a raging inferno, sweeping across the eight wastelands. Behind him stood three hundred elite guards, all survivors of countless battles, each possessing the cultivation of a Golden Immortal, their blood and qi surging like dragons. They formed the "Breaking Army Battle Cone" formation, using him as the spearhead, transforming into a sharp blade that tore through the heavens, ruthlessly plunging into that boundless sea forged from steel and death!

"Target: the enemy's central command! Breach it!"

His divine thoughts thundered, striking into the primordial spirit of each guard, each word like an order, brooking no disobedience.

"For the Celestial Dynasty! Fight to the death!"

Three hundred elite warriors roared in unison, their immortal energy surging and their blood and qi interacting, converging into a soaring killing intent that actually tore open a scorching crack on the deathly cold battle line of the Golden Puppet Army!
The golden puppet reacted with lightning speed!
The moment Xiao Jingtian charged forward, the array in front suddenly activated, like precise gears meshing together. Millions of "Judicator" golden puppets turned their cannons in unison, and countless energy beams intertwined to form a net that covered the sky and descended upon them!
The net of light was as dense as rain, distorting the void and shattering the laws of nature. Anyone below the level of a Celestial King who touched it turned to ashes instantly, barely surviving even their soul!
"Yu!"

Xiao Jingtian's eyes blazed with fury, neither retreating nor dodging! The Dragon Pattern Spear suddenly trembled, and dragon-shaped runes on its shaft lit up abruptly. A dragon's roar ripped through the sky, resounding throughout the heavens!

"The Way of War: Immovable as a Mountain!"

A long spear was held horizontally before his chest, and the power of the Celestial King poured forth, condensing into a massive silver shield. A phantom of a divine dragon coiled upon the shield, its head held high, eyes glaring angrily, its scales gleaming, as if a true dragon had descended to earth!

boom! boom! boom! boom!
Billions of beams of light poured down like a torrential downpour, exploding into ripples of destruction. The silver shield trembled violently, the phantom of the divine dragon roared in agony, and its light rapidly dimmed, nearly dissipating.

However, it ultimately failed to break through!

"Now! Break through!"

With a roar, Xiao Jingtian seized the moment when the enemy's firepower paused, instantly retracting his light shield and channeling all his power into his spear. He stepped into the void, his figure as swift as lightning, man and spear becoming one, transforming once more into that silver divine rainbow that tore through the heavens and earth!

"Puff puff!"

Wherever the divine rainbow passed, the golden puppets shattered. Whether "arbitrator" or "guardian," they were all pierced and exploded into a sky full of metallic fireworks!
Three hundred guards followed closely behind, their swords flashing like rain, their blades gleaming like lightning, unleashing their divine powers and magic, constantly widening the gap that Xiao Jingtian had torn open, turning it into an unstoppable bloody path!
The Golden Puppet Central Hub - Primordial Intelligence Core, is being deduced once again.

[Warning: Target precession velocity exceeds threshold.]

[The 'Hive Barrier' protocol has been activated.]

The order was given, and the battlefield changed dramatically! (End of Chapter)
