Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 512: The tough Ji Fa, the third generation of disciples forced to die

However, although the cannon was a magic weapon, the shells it fired were not.

Judging from the power it contains, it is not just the innate spiritual energy, but also mixed with the blood of the soldiers, and condensed together with a special formation, making its power skyrocket.

Therefore, every cannonball that landed was equivalent to a blow from the Taoist, and was incredibly powerful. Even though Jiang Ziya had tried his best to resist, the strength he had gathered in a hurry was not enough to withstand the power of the cannonball.

It was visible to the naked eye that the defense he built with the blood and spirit of his soldiers began to shake violently under the continuous bombardment of the shells, giving people a feeling that it would break at any time.

It is normal that it cannot be stopped, because Daojun is the name given to the mythical Taiyi by people in the world.

People felt that the mythical Taiyi was too powerful, far beyond the reach of the Taiyi Golden Immortal, and that it was not appropriate to call him Taiyi. Therefore, they gave the mythical Taiyi a title, calling him Xiantian Daojun, which means the Lord of the Great Way.

As for the more powerful mythical Daluo, they call him Xiantian Daozun, which means the Lord of the Great Dao.

The Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian is called Hunyuan Daozhu, which means the master of the Great Dao. Quasi-sage is Quasi-Daozhu, referring to the title of Daozhu of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

The attack of the mythical Taiyi was so powerful. If the Xiqi army was united and the national destiny cooperated, it would not be difficult to stop it.

However, due to the sudden attack, the Xiqi army's formation had been dispersed, and it was difficult to gather together and form a battle formation in a short period of time.

In this situation, the military formation formed by only some soldiers has limited power and naturally cannot withstand the continuous attacks of cannons.

"Keep fighting, don't save ammunition. Their army is in disarray now, we must not give them a chance to recover."

After seeing the changes in the princes' army, the defenders on the wall of Chaoge fired artillery shells more frequently, causing the princes' army on all sides to scream in pain and countless soldiers to flee in all directions.

However, although they are having a lot of fun bombarding now, in fact, they don’t have many shells.

This thing is too difficult to refine, and the output is very low. Even if all the forces of the Great Shang were mobilized, the output would only be a few dozen per year. And a few dozen were not enough for them to bombard one round.

Let’s put it this way, the ammunition they consumed in each round of artillery fire was at least the output of the Shang Dynasty for thousands of years.

There is no other way. If you want to ensure the power of the shells, the output will naturally not be enough. First, materials, you need to collect the blood of the soldiers, the essence of various beasts, natural materials and treasures, etc.

The next step is to melt them into a furnace and refine them into magic ink, and then have the talisman master draw them into top-level talismans.

That’s right, these shells fired are essentially Taoist talismans.

What is a Dao Talisman? It is to draw the rules of heaven and earth on paper, making it have unparalleled power. And the rules of heaven and earth, to put it simply, are the laws of the operation of the formation.

In other words, drawing talismans is to use white paper to carry the formation, or to draw the complete formation on white paper.

Essentially, it was a variation of the formation technique. This was why Jiang Ziya felt somewhat familiar when he observed those shells.

Because the principle of Ao Bing's refining of artillery shells is to compress the formation into a small sphere, and then detonate it when needed, so that it can burst out with the strongest force in an instant.

Taoist talismans cannot be mass-produced, and require top talisman masters to spend a lot of energy and time to carefully draw them. Therefore, the output of artillery shells cannot be increased, and can only be accumulated bit by bit over time.

Fortunately, the four lords gave Da Shang enough time, more than 100,000 years, so that Chaoge could accumulate enough artillery shells. Otherwise, Chaoge would be in real danger this time, and it would be difficult to resist the siege of the four lords.

After all, those who want to destroy the Shang Dynasty now include not only the four great princes, but other princes as well. It’s just that the four great princes are the strongest, so they are the ones who besieged Chaoge.

But this does not mean that the other princes are so weak that they can't withstand a single blow. That is not the case at all. Many princes are only slightly weaker than the four major princes.

If the four great princes fail to capture Chaoge, they will come as reinforcements. By then, even if the Shang Dynasty is strong, it will still be defeated in the face of the siege of the princes.

But with these shells, the result is completely different. They are not only powerful, but also a deterrent.

Clearly tell the princes of the world that although Chaoge is just an isolated city, it is not without the ability to fight. Anyone who dares to attack the city will have to pay a heavy price.

If all the princes in the world were united, they would naturally not care about this threat.

It’s a pity that all the princes in the world have their own plans. If they were not forced to do so, why would they waste their strength and attack the city of Chaoge?

They would only hope that other princes would be the first to lose control and launch an attack on Chaoge in order to weaken its strength and give them a chance to break into the city.

"Dragon Lord! Dragon Lord!"

"Duke Long is so kind to the Shang Dynasty!"

Ji Fa stomped his feet fiercely. He didn't expect that Ao Bing had left Da Shang for such a long time and still left so many good things to Da Shang.

If he had known this earlier, he would never have been so anxious to attack Chaoge City. Instead, he would have let other princes attack the city first, and when the strength of both sides was almost weakened, he would come forward to take advantage.

Unfortunately, it’s too late to think about these things now.

"Disciples of the Chan Sect, listen up. I don't care what method you use. Stop those shells at all costs and buy time for our army to regroup."

Taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, Jifa displayed the demeanor of a qualified monarch and gave cold orders to the disciples of the Chan sect.

He was clearly asking the third generation of disciples of the Chan Sect to use their lives to buy time for the army. Although this move was cruel, it had to be said that it was the best solution at the moment.

Although the loss of the three generations of disciples of the Chan sect had an impact on the army, the impact was not significant and would not affect the final outcome.

But if the army suffered heavy losses, then even if all three generations of disciples of the Chan sect were present, it would be of no help to the overall situation, and the Zhou Kingdom was destined to withdraw from the competition for the world's common leader ahead of schedule.

Jifa could not accept this result in any way.

In order to replace the Shang Dynasty and become the new ruler of the world, his great-grandfather, grandfather, father, brother, a total of four generations, all sacrificed their lives for this, which won him a good situation.

If he failed to make a timely decision, resulting in heavy losses for the army and the loss of the throne that was about to be his, he would be too ashamed to face his ancestors, father and brothers after his death.

Choose the lesser of two evils. Since the army is more important than the three generations of disciples of the Chan sect, letting the three generations of disciples of the Chan sect buy time for the army is undoubtedly the best solution at the moment.

Therefore, although Ji Fa's order was cruel, it was undoubtedly correct and was the decision that a qualified monarch should make.

"This……"

Hearing this, the faces of the three generations of disciples of the Chan Sect all turned pale. They all saw the power of the shells. With their Golden Immortal cultivation, even with the help of the innate spiritual treasures, how many rounds could they block? With thousands of shells fired at the same time, it would not take long for them to be destroyed and they would have to go to the Conferred God List.

However, even if you know all this, how can you not obey military orders when you are in the army?
Military orders were as heavy as a mountain, and they had to go even if it meant they had to die. Otherwise, there was no need to wait until later, Ji Fa could kill them now.

Moreover, since they were killed for disobeying military orders, even if they died, they probably would not be included in the List of Gods.

If they obeyed military orders and died on the battlefield, they would be heroes admired by everyone. Even if they were listed on the list of gods, they would still hold high positions.

If they disobey military orders and are executed by the commander-in-chief, they will become bears despised by everyone. In this case, it would be better for them not to be included in the list of gods.

Once he is listed on the List of Gods, not only will his status as a god not be high, he will probably be classified as an evil god and hated by the world.

"Why, you want to disobey military orders?"

Seeing that no one responded, Ji Fa frowned and asked unhappily.

While questioning, he looked at Jiang Ziya, signaling him to order everyone to act as soon as possible to buy time for the army, otherwise they would be dealt with according to military law.

Jiang Ziya was the commander of the army, and he was also a sage of the human race, with the unparalleled merit of destroying the North Sea monster tribe.

Therefore, even though Ji Fa was of higher status than Jiang Ziya, he did not dare to act superior in front of him and was extremely polite to him, not daring to be disrespectful in the slightest. Especially in military affairs, he was the boss.

"Don't worry, uncle. As the vanguard general, it is our duty to buy time for the army. We will set off now."

Huang Tianhua, Jin Zha, Mu Zha, Lei Zhenzi and other disciples of the third generation of the Chan sect knew that they would not be able to escape death today. They did not want to make things difficult for Jiang Ziya, so they bowed to him, walked out of the tent and flew into the air.

"My fellow apprentices, please relax. I will use the military formation to support you and try my best to ensure your safety."

Seeing this, Jiang Ziya was moved. He was a rare wise man, how could he not know that everyone would die if they went there? But even so, he had to show the right attitude.

Otherwise, the backlash that would follow would be beyond his ability to withstand.

He could see that as Ji Fa ordered all the third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect to die, his death sign had already appeared. Even if he became the common ruler of the world, it would not save his life, and he would definitely die early.

But if this incident had not happened, even though Ji Fa's life span would not be long now, as long as he ascended the throne of the common ruler of the world, then with the blessing of the luck of Jiuzhou, he would undoubtedly be able to extend his life by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

However, before he became the common ruler of the world, he had already created a cause and effect with the future of the Chan sect and forced them to die.

In this way, without the protection of the luck of the Nine Provinces and only with the luck of the Zhou Kingdom to protect him, he could not resist the backlash of the luck of the Chan Sect at all, and his early death was inevitable.

With Ji Fa as a ready-made example, Jiang Ziya naturally did not dare to continue forcing the three generations of disciples of the Chan sect, so as not to bring disaster upon himself and damage his own luck.

"Stop, stop, stop. Do your best and leave the rest to fate."

The three generations of disciples of the Chan sect left without looking back. They were not fools, so how could they not know that Jiang Ziya was comforting them.

Even with the support of the military formation, they are still unable to withstand the power of the artillery shells. One can only hope that they can hold on a little longer and die heroically, so that when they are deified in the future, they can obtain a higher status.

Since the names of the true spirits on the list cannot be changed, what they naturally seek is to have the highest possible position after being deified.

It is said that true spirits on the list must be controlled by the Jade Emperor, but the prehistoric world has its own unspoken rules, and people of high status must be given enough respect.

Therefore, as long as the status of gods they are granted is high enough, even if they are controlled by the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor will give them due respect and will not really drive them.

……

"We have limited strength. If we want to block these shells, we must rely on the power of the innate spiritual treasure. However, due to the constraints of magic power, even with the protection of the innate spiritual treasure, we can hardly exert its full power."

"In this case, it is best for us not to separate, but to form a formation and join forces to fight the enemy."

In mid-air, Huang Tianhua spoke to everyone.

"That makes sense."

Everyone nodded when they heard this. Then they took action, formed a formation, and activated the innate spiritual treasures together. At the same time, the blood energy nearby began to sweep and poured into their bodies to enhance their strength.

This is Jiang Ziya using the military formation to support them. It is necessary to do so. With the support of the military formation, they can hold out longer.

Without the support of the military formation, they would not be able to hold on for long.

boom!
Brilliant spiritual light bloomed, and one innate spiritual treasure after another rose into the air, emitting infinite power. They connected together to block all the incoming shells.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ziya, Huang Feihu, Li Jing and other Zhou generals hurriedly reorganized the army, trying to restore its combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.

On the other hand, under the coercion of other princes, the disciples of the Western Sect also took the same action as the third generation disciples of the Orthodox Sect. They stepped forward to block the incoming shells and buy time for the army.

However, in terms of joint efforts, the disciples of the Chan Sect were not as good as the disciples of the Western Sect. This was because unlike the disciples of the three religions who were all elites, the disciples of the Western Sect were generally not talented, and if they fought alone, they would easily die at the hands of the enemy.

Therefore, compared to the East, which places more emphasis on individual combat power, the West places more emphasis on group strength, which gives them an advantage when facing group combat.

In addition, the West does not have as many innate spiritual treasures as the East, but most of the Western strongmen are concentrated in the Western Church, which means they have a large number of people. And with a large number of people, we must play to our advantage.

When the disciples of the Western Religion went to that station, rays of divine light of salvation fell from Mount Sumeru, crossing the endless void and standing in front of them to block the incoming artillery shells for them.

This is the advantage of disciples of the Western Religion. No matter where they are, they can borrow the power of Mount Sumeru.

With the blessing of Mount Sumeru, the defense they constructed was no worse than the defense built by the disciples of the Chan sect using innate spiritual treasures.

"What a powerful force!"

Although they temporarily blocked the shells, the faces of the two sect disciples who acted as human shields were extremely ugly. Because the power of the shells was too strong, they could not hold on for long.

At this time, the army of Da Shang also came to attack. With the artillery shells and the elite troops of Da Shang, they were in danger.

"How dare you use a magic weapon in front of me, the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light, take it from me!"
