Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

The front lines were struggling. The barrier had one key disadvantage compared to normal arrays.

It was based on the guards, and not array flags or something like that. And so, when an attack came toward the barrier, the guards had to expend their own Qi to resist that attack.

But what these guards were doing, it was just temporary. The Imperial Palace wouldn’t have such a shoddy array as its main defending array. If this was the main defending array, then it would be a shame.

The Imperial Palace had a much better array, but it also took a lot of time to complete. And the palace knew that they would need a buffer. These guards were that buffer.

A few minutes worth of buffer so that the true barrier could be put in place. Multiple Soul Evolution Stage cultivators, led my Tian Hun, were in different parts of the Imperial Palace, getting the protecting array together.

And because the palace was a smaller area than most sects, it was cheaper to activate the array. It was huge standalone, but compared to the other powers, it occupied the least space. After all, it was in the center of the Capital. If it took the entire capital’s space, what else would fit in here?

As they were focusing on creating that barrier, the two forces outside were still fighting each other.

“Zen Han! I will never let you leave here alive. I will make sure that your family will stay dead this time!” one of the old men from Handu shouted.

These two forces had some problem alright. They just couldn’t handle the sight of each other. It was a rivalry that lasted centuries, and wasn’t something that they could work out in a single day.

So even though they had a singular enemy in front of them, a singular barrier that they could focus on tearing apart, they didn’t. Instead, their focus was on killing each other.

“The barrier is up!” Tian Hun sighed with relief. A whole twenty High Grade Spirit stones had gone into activating this barrier. It was an astronomical price, but there was a reason that they had done this.

The twenty spirit stones were not going to waste. Infact, they were going to be very useful in killing those reckless fools who let them prepare for so long.

“Guards! Retreat! You no longer need to waste time on the walls!” Tian Hun shouted his voice reverberating throughout the entire palace’s walls.

All of the guards stepped down, disconnecting from the barrier that they were all an integral part of.

Slowly, the first barrier started having holes in the middle. The blue tint decreased, and the barrier itself was dissolving into thin air. This was the first step.

For a small moment there, the two parties outside stopped fighting and looked at what was happening. The barrier was going down? Wasn’t that good for them?

But the moment that the barrier went down, they were met with another one. The forces on the ground, the Xiantian and lower realm cultivators, were butting headfirst into another barrier and this one was even more powerful.

“Haha! Now, you shall all witness the true power of the Imperial Palace.” Tian Hun smiled as he started making a few signs with his hands.

The walls of the palace, the perimeter itself, started shining. They started moving, and giant objects started coming out of the walls. The moment that the people from the Handu kingdom saw this though, their faces paled.

“You shameless people! You use something that is not yours against us?” The leader of the Handu Kingdom, their king himself, shouted.

“What is yours? What is ours? Only the stronger one is king. Everyone else is just a whining loser. Now you shall accept the consequences of going against us.” Tian Hun smiled as he made another sign.

These objects started lighting up and then suddenly blew gigantic balls of light toward the armies that were gathered in front of the palace.

Some were aimed at the Soul Evolution Stage cultivators.

And these balls of light were fast. As fast as sound itself. Faster even. Everyone could see the balls of light reach their destination before they heard the sound of these cannons.

Boom!

The first sound was the delayed one that came from the cannons itself. But the second one, the second one came immediately after and it shook everyone there.

Blast!

The balls of light blew up. Below, all of the Xiantian Experts and below were picked apart and thrown out like candy. These cannons were way too powerful for mere Xiantian experts to handle them.

And so, they were gone alright. Entire armies were extinguished because the Imperial Palace’s preparations were way too powerful.

“If you thought that the throne was the only reason we remained the true rulers, then you are wrong Han Kim. We are stronger than all of you even without that throne.” Tian Hun shouted.

“Fine. You cowards who hide behind your barrier. I dare you all to come out and then show me what you can do.” Han Kim shouted back. He was furious at those who had occupied the throne that was rightfully his.

But why would Tian Hun do that? This battle was theirs as long as they did exactly what they were doing now. Thin out the ranks by blasting cannon balls at their opponents. They didnt need to do much else.

The Zen Family didn’t have the numbers that the Handu Kingdom did. But they had a comparable number of Soul Evolution Stage experts. That was what made them terrifying. If these two powers combined forces, then the palace would fall instantly. But they didn’t, and Tian Hun was going to make sure that it would stay this way.

“You Zen bastards. Your father, Tian Jiang is here! You dare attack the Imperial palace? I will make your family regret that you have ever lived!” A large shout took away the attention this time.

Another peak Soul Evolution Stage cultivator arrived.
