The big spray rang again, this time Ye Xiaochuan did not deliberately aim at a certain target, but fired at the blank area south of the ancestral hall.
This time it was to test how far the big sprayer could shoot the iron ball projectile. Ye Xiaochuan had already mobilized his spiritual consciousness in advance.
When the gunpowder exploded and the projectile ejected from the iron pipe, the projectile was firmly locked by Ye Xiaochuan's spiritual power.
Before Gui Yatou and Xiao Qi could react, Ye Xiaochuan had already disappeared.
The projectiles were flying, and so was Ye Xiaochuan.
Ye Xiaochuan never thought that the thrust of gunpowder would be so powerful. Even if he spread the demon wings, he could only fly as fast as the projectile.
If it were a few months ago, and his cultivation level had not reached the realm of immortality, even if he spread the demon wings, his speed would not be as fast as the projectile sprayed from the big sprayer.
However, the high-speed movement of the projectile was only maintained for a moment. After flying a hundred feet, the speed of the projectile weakened significantly and began to fall.
In the end, the projectile landed about two hundred feet away from where Ye Xiaochuan fired.
This is the current maximum range of this new weapon developed by Gui Yatou and Xiao Qi.
However, the maximum range does not mean the maximum lethality range.
When the projectile reaches 200 feet, it has almost no lethality.
Its true lethality is only about one hundred feet.
Beyond this distance, it will be difficult to cause much damage to the enemy.
However, this was enough to make Ye Xiaochuan, Ye Cha and Ye Tianci smile from ear to ear in surprise.
You should know that the five-stone bow used by human eagle shooters today has a maximum range of seventy feet and a maximum killing range of sixty feet.
The five-stone crossbow is the hardest bow and arrow, and not many can pull it.
Today, for mortal soldiers in the world, the effective killing range of most bows and arrows is between forty feet and fifty feet.
The shooting distance of the Eight Ox Crossbow can exceed two hundred feet, but it is difficult to exceed three hundred feet.
The big spray does not require strong arm strength, nor does it require several people to control the machine tool to launch. Ordinary humans can use this weapon. Once it is equipped with mortal troops on a large scale, the combat power of the mortal army will make a qualitative leap.
The scariest thing is that this thing is still so small. If you get a few large spray guns like the Eight Ox Crossbow and add more gunpowder, the power of the explosion will be stronger.
Even Ye Xiaochuan felt that if the size of the spray gun in his hand was expanded ten times, its range would definitely not be lower than that of the Sky Fire Beast that the heaven is proud of.
The emergence of black powder made Ye Xiaochuan worried about the future living space of cultivators.
Now, his worries have become a reality.
The reason why my speed is comparable to the iron pellets sprayed by the big sprayer is because of my high level of cultivation, practicing the law of wind, and the speed blessing of the devil's wings.
It would be dangerous for an ordinary cultivator with low cultivation level to face this blow.
The speed of cultivators in the air-control realm and the perception of spiritual consciousness cannot catch up with Tiewan. Facing the attack of the big sprayer, they can only use the magic weapons in their hands to resist.
But how many times can it be blocked?
The power of this thing is comparable to the energy sword condensed by the Cangyun Sect disciples when they perform the Eight Forms of the Divine Sword.
In the past, a cultivator at the fifth level of air control could release the flying sword magic weapon and kill hundreds of mortal soldiers in the blink of an eye.
Even the bows and arrows shot from the hands of mortal soldiers are not a great threat to them.
However, if a cultivator in the air control realm were to face hundreds of mortal soldiers carrying big guns, it would be that cultivator who would die.
The myth of cultivation that has lasted for thousands of years in the human world will be completely ended due to the emergence of big trolls.
This is not alarmist, this is what is happening.
Ye Xiaochuan bent down and picked up the iron ball projectile that fell on the ground. The projectile was very hot, but Ye Xiaochuan didn't seem to feel any heat, only feeling cold all over.
At this moment, his decades of faith seemed to collapse.
With such a weapon, what is the point of cultivators practicing Taoism?
Does the eternal way of heaven, which cultivators have been pursuing for thousands of years, really exist?
Ye Cha said: "I have to admit that black gunpowder is rapidly changing the pattern and survival model of the entire Three Realms that have existed for thousands of years.
God is no longer God.
Immortal is no longer an immortal.
The three realms of the future will be controlled by a huge number of mortals.
Boy, just watch, this is just the tip of the iceberg in how black gunpowder has changed the three worlds. As mortals' research on black gunpowder gradually deepens, more new weapons based on black gunpowder will appear one by one.
Now this big troll in your hand can already pose a fatal threat to low-level cultivators.
It won't take long, maybe ten years, maybe a hundred years, before mortals will be able to develop black powder weapons that can kill the realm of Lingji, or even the realm of immortality.
The reason why human beings are the masters of the three realms is because they possess unparalleled creativity.
Always remember today, from today onwards, mortals will control this universe."
Ye Tianci was also frightened by the power of the big troll, and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Now that the big troll is in our hands, let's destroy it. Wouldn't that be enough?"
Ye Cha let out a few contemptuous laughs but said nothing.
Ye Xiaochuan said slowly: "Even if I destroy this big troll and strictly order Xiao Qi and Gui Yatou not to leak, the effect will not be very big. It will only delay the big troll's appearance.
At that time, the Wood God was worried that the black gunpowder would change the pattern of the three realms, so he hid the secret recipe of the black gunpowder, but the secret recipe was still obtained by the Kingdom of Heavenly Maidens.
Your Majesty She and I are worried that mortals will use black gunpowder to cause too much killing, so we have been secretly developing black gunpowder for these years.
However, it has only been a few months since black gunpowder appeared on the battlefields of the Western Regions, and the mortal court has already begun to imitate black gunpowder. Although the power is still inferior to the black gunpowder developed by the five tribes of southern Xinjiang and the Tiannv Kingdom, at this rate, the craftsmen of the imperial court have begun to imitate black gunpowder.
You can surpass the craftsmen of Southern Xinjiang and Tiannv Kingdom.
Black powder is now unstoppable.
It was only a matter of time before weapons powered by black powder were born.
The wheel of history is moving forward, and we cannot stop the general trend.
Rather than doing this, it is better to equip the big sprayer into the hands of mortal soldiers.
I believe that every living thing will find its own way out in the natural environment.
In the past, there was no black powder in the Three Realms, and cultivators were the overlords of the Three Realms.
When black powder appeared and the living space of cultivators was compressed to the limit, cultivators also found their own way out."
Ye Cha agreed with Ye Xiaochuan's words.
He said: "Yes, in ancient times, what cultivators in the world cultivated was Chaos Yuan Qi. When the Chaos Yuan Qi in the world became increasingly thinner, everyone said that the era of cultivation was about to end, and mortals would control the world.
As a result, cultivators found ways and means to cultivate Qi and opened up a new path of cultivation.
As long as there is greed for immortality in human hearts, the line of cultivation will not be cut off, and will always find another way out, and then after a long period of friction, a new balance point will be formed."
