A swarm of heavy artillery bombarded the cultivators.

Chapter 2279 Rulers of Sword Cultivators Don't Need to Show Too Much Mercy
The human sword cultivators have begun their escape.

A sword cultivator's life is a life of forging swords, practicing swordsmanship, fighting, and escaping.

Contrary to many stereotypes, this tradition is not one of stubbornness. Once things become hopeless and the odds of winning drop to zero, they flee faster and more fiercely than rabbits, much like cicadas sensing the coming autumn wind before it even stirs.

A swordsman who is not good at escaping is not a good swordsman.

It was only a few breaths.

The frenzied battle on the Heavenly Court battlefield had come to an end. All the sword cultivators had fled, running away in a frenzy, each one fighting for their lives.

At the same time, the most terrible casualties occurred.

In all battles, the greatest casualties do not occur when the battle is deadlocked and the fighting is fierce, but when one side is routed and the victorious side pursues and defeats the fleeing enemy!
The human sword cultivators did not suffer a rout, but rather fled in an orderly fashion.

But this cannot conceal the fact that he fled.

The morale of the Supreme Divine Army and the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of the Heavenly Court soared instantly, and they pursued the enemy relentlessly, achieving significant results in a short time.

Countless human sword cultivators are buried here, their blood staining the starry sky.

The swordsman kills, the swordsman wins.

The sword cultivator failed and died.

The fundamental principles of the universe in this endless starry sky, the clear mandate of heaven, have never changed.

……

The Supreme Great Sun Heavenly Palace.

"His Majesty,"

"The first test has been completed."

The Empress of Fusang, who oversaw many military and political affairs of the Dao Court, said in a soft voice, "In the past 100,000 years, the Heavenly Court of Myriad Races has always persevered and maintained its organization under the immense pressure of war. Most importantly, the technology of the Three Realms has been constantly iterating and progressing with the war, achieving breakthrough after breakthrough."

"In the final battle where the sword cultivators attacked the Heavenly Court, they decisively deployed fresh troops to deliver the decisive blow to the sword cultivators."

"The siege of the Heavenly Court of all races has been lifted."

"After the war, thanks to the advancements in many technologies across the Three Realms, they will surely experience a major leap forward in immortal science and their strength will greatly improve."

"The Daoist Academy of Immortals believes that the Three Realms system still has profound untapped potential."

The Japanese emperor and empress presented the conclusion reached jointly by the Daoist bureaucracy.

This conclusion is supported by a wealth of data, opinions from various parties, battlefield results, and specific scientific and technological evidence of immortality. Few would dare to deceive the founder in this regard.

Whatever the subconscious will of the bureaucracy may be, they must obey.

"Tell me about the casualties among the sword cultivators."

Jiang Ding said calmly.

This result did not seem to surprise this overlord of the endless starry sky.

This being is almost like the Way of Heaven, and to a certain extent omniscient and omnipotent.

"One hundred million sword cultivators, ten thousand years of war, eight million return."

The Emperor and Empress of Japan gave a brief report.

"The greatest casualties occurred during the final escape. Even with external assistance, the Daoist sword cultivators paid a huge price to escape the territory of the Heavenly Court of Myriad Races."

"The number of sword cultivators who finally returned to the Dao Court was 8,279,111."

More than 90 million human sword cultivators died just like that.

Moreover, he was not an ordinary sword cultivator, but a sword cultivator prodigy ranked one hundred millionth in the endless starry sky. He silently buried his bones on the battlefield without causing any ripples.

The Emperor and Empress of Japan felt a pang of pain in their hearts.

These people are all extraordinary individuals from the vast universe!

Such precious swordsmanship talents, the cornerstones of the Daoist Academy, died like weeds, like ants—too insignificant. "Too many."

"The battle seemed uneventful, without much drama."

Jiang Ding said calmly.

"..."

The Emperor and Empress of Japan.

"You should visit them when you have time."

"Distribute the war merit rewards and compensation rewards to each party, and increase them by 10%. That's settled."

Jiang Ding casually gave the order, and then fell into enlightenment again. He began to look a little dazed, which was a sign that too much of his spiritual computing power had been drained.

"Your Majesty, aren't you going?"

The Emperor and Empress of Japan couldn't help but say.

She knew that even though she was the Empress of the Immortal Dynasty and held an extremely noble position, she was nothing more than that in the eyes of a group of ruthless sword cultivators who were ready to die for their lives. They didn't have much respect or fear for her.

These are a bunch of crazy desperados.

Only the consolation of the Sword Lord can greatly boost their morale and swordsmanship.

"No need."

"The Sword Fairy's duty is to maintain her strength, not to show too much tenderness."

"This is detrimental to the rule of sword cultivators."

The response was slower this time. After some time, a wisp of divine soul power answered the words of the Fusang Emperor and Empress, and then the young man in blue fell silent again.

The Japanese emperor and empress were startled, and then fell into deep thought.

Is this the sword-cultivation dynasty that existed in history?
The Holy Land of Fusang has never personally experienced the establishment and rule of the Sword Dynasty, which is a gap in its knowledge. Now, this shortcoming has been made up.

The historical sword-cultivation dynasties must have been just as cruel.

However, the Supreme Great Sun Dao Court is different from many sword-cultivation dynasties and immortal dynasties that have appeared in history.

That is a terrifyingly abundant talent pool. The more fighting and death there is, the faster the peerless sword cultivators will be born. The immortal cultivation education and talent reserves are so terrifying that there is no worry about shortages at all.

The Emperor and Empress of Fusang had no doubt that even in many sword-cultivating dynasties throughout history, after experiencing three consecutive life-or-death battles, the entire dynasty's sword-cultivating talents would inevitably suffer a shortage, requiring at least a million years to recover, and the upper limit of recovery would certainly be far less than that of the Supreme Great Sun Dao Court.

This is the terrifying foundation of Taoist education within the Taoist court.

……

Many Daoist sword cultivators returned from the battlefield after a bloody battle and then went into seclusion.

They gained numerous military achievements, and more importantly, they gained a great deal of insight into swordsmanship from the bloody battles.

These invaluable insights not only enhanced their swordsmanship skills but also resolved many difficult questions in the Daoist Immortal Dao research. Many research projects that had been difficult to answer for hundreds of thousands of years were instantly solved.

Bloodbath is the most orthodox way for sword cultivators to study the science of immortality.

Bloodshed is the life and everything for a sword cultivator.

Many sword cultivators who returned from bloody battles brought back a wealth of valuable knowledge and insights into the Dao of Immortality, further advancing the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dao system.

After this group of sword cultivators went into seclusion, the battle situation in the Endless Starfield once again entered a period of calm.

The situation has returned to the past, where large-scale battles did not occur, but small-scale sword duels and skirmishes continued. In these local battles, a new batch of sword cultivators has grown strong.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Court of Myriad Races is also rapidly rebuilding by utilizing various immortal techniques developed during the war.

The immortal technology of the two super immortal forces in the endless starry sky is constantly improving. They are each raising their own level of immortality, giving preferential treatment to talents who make groundbreaking achievements, and constantly eliminating those who are incompetent. This has led to an explosive growth of various immortal science and technology.

The science of immortality in this era began to gradually reach a level of brilliance far surpassing that of many previous eras.
