System's Super Sect Chapter 1010 938: Di Chen Takes Action (First Update)

The piercing cries of the goblins resonated overhead, yet they pressed forward relentlessly toward the Storm Sword Array.

A growing sense of curiosity permeated the onlookers.

At this crucial moment, while others were unaware of Yun Liao's strategy, Wen Ping understood it perfectly.

Despite their numbers, the goblins were mere disposable pawns; any expert at the Lower Grade Mountain Suppression Realm could have easily dispatched them.

So why the desperate charge into the Storm Sword Array?

The answer was simple: their demise would enable Yun Liao to replenish his mental energy.

As thousands of goblins met their end simultaneously within the Storm Sword Array, twenty percent of the inflicted damage would transform into energy for Yun Liao to absorb.

The death of ten thousand goblins would be sufficient to fully restore Yun Liao's mental energy!

"Quite ingenious, this mastery of Summoning Magic. Although it is merely a rudimentary second-tier spell, typically lacking significant utility, it has proven itself like a divine technique in this confrontation, far eclipsing the effectiveness of Song of the Forest."

Wen Ping mused inwardly, offering silent praise.

His recognition of Yun Liao's future potential deepened immensely.

Yun Liao was, undeniably, a mage who could think strategically!

This quality was of paramount importance!

Should Yun Liao one day achieve Great Success in his Full Element cultivation, his power would ascend to a terrifying apex, amplified by the unique capabilities of the Vortex Map.

Provided he was not annihilated instantly,

he would possess an unending resilience, impervious to death or fatigue!

This outcome was entirely foreseeable.

Following Wen Ping's silent admiration, the Heartless Sword and the devastating attacks of Only I Am Venerable had already converged upon Yun Liao.

Three Heartless Swords ascended into the sky, forming an inescapable cage around Yun Liao, completely sealing off any avenue of escape.

The assault from Only I Am Venerable sliced through the Storm Sword Array, targeting Yun Liao directly, who found himself with no possible retreat.

Just as their Vein Technique was poised to engulf Yun Liao, the Sword Qi within the Storm Sword Array erupted into sudden chaos, its movements resembling a startled flock of sheep.

In the ensuing moment of agitated Sword Qi,

a magnificent Sword Spirit materialized, standing tall amidst the sword array!

Wielding a colossal sword!

It was then raised high!

Swish—

The enormous sword descended, obliterating the Vein Technique of Only I Am Venerable, and then directed its assault at the two individuals.

Their countenances shifted dramatically.

The sword swung once more!

This was the very entity that had ended Nu Huan Feng with a single, decisive strike!

The pair immediately attempted to evade, but this time, as the Sword Spirit's blade swept downwards, it aimed to cleave both of them in two!

Only I Am Venerable, unable to evade, was struck by the sword. He barely managed to sustain himself with his Vein Qi Shield and the Mountain-Suppressing Armor.

However, within mere moments, the shield crumbled, and the armor was shattered!

A few breaths later, Only I Am Venerable was sent hurtling away like a mere plaything, crashing violently into the protective barrier of the battleground.

Smack—

Upon impact with the barrier, Only I Am Venerable disintegrated, his form scattering like mud, leaving no trace of his bones.

Though Only I Am Venerable met his end, the sword's momentum did not cease; it continued its pursuit of Du Venerable.

With no sanctuary, Du Venerable was compelled to unleash his Vein Technique in a desperate attempt to parry the colossal sword. Yet, the Upper Grade Earth Level Vein Technique was severed instantaneously.

Du Venerable, too, was flung aside by the sword's force. However, having expended significant power in dispatching Only I Am Venerable, the sword merely propelled Du Venerable against the protective barrier, leaving him incapacitated for an extended period.

A closer inspection would reveal that Du Venerable's limbs were severely contorted, his hand bones and thigh bones exhibiting extreme deformities, with one toe pointing forward and the other backward.

While not deceased, his spiritual body suffered damage exceeding ninety percent.

He might potentially recover to fight again, but his power would be diminished to less than a tenth of its former strength.

Following the devastating sword strike, the Sword Spirit dissipated.

Yet, the profound shock it imprinted upon the hearts of all observers lingered long after.

One strike!

Only I Am Venerable perished!

Du Venerable was grievously wounded!

Terrifying beyond measure!

After vanquishing Only I Am Venerable, Yun Liao lightly touched his shoulder, which had returned to its normal state. He flexed it experimentally, then cast a cold gaze down upon Jisheng Hall's Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart.

All the swords from the Storm Sword Array now focused their malevolent intent upon Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart.

Yun Liao felt no surge of triumph at Only I Am Venerable's death or Du Venerable's injury.

This was because the goblin summoning ability could only be employed once.

In any subsequent battle, upon the appearance of these goblins, they would undoubtedly be eliminated first, denying him the opportunity to reap their demise.

Perhaps such a time would not even be necessary.

Even now, Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart had begun to grasp this reality.

"Only I… Senior Brother Du!" With one fallen and one incapacitated, a flicker of genuine panic finally surfaced in the eyes of Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, a stark contrast to its previous composure.

Yun Liao met Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart's gaze and offered a smile devoid of mirth.

Very well.

He had not even needed to witness it.

Yun Liao responded, "No need to shout; Du Venerable has received a sword from the Sword Spirit. While he might survive, he can no longer assist you. Even if he were to stand now, he couldn't unleash an Upper Grade Earth Level Vein Technique, only manage a basic Lower Grade Earth Level Vein Technique."

"Yun Liao!"

Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart whirled around, fixing his gaze upon Yun Liao.

The murderous intent in his eyes intensified once more!

If Yun Liao didn't meet his demise, how could he possibly face his master!

This was because Senior Brother Nu Huan Feng and Senior Brother Only I had both perished due to him.

In the ensuing moment, Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart brandished his sword anew.

But the instant he drew his blade, the Storm Sword Array interposed, halting his movement.

The Heartless Sword lost its upward momentum, being utterly suppressed by the Storm Sword Array the moment it surfaced.

Yun Liao ceased deploying the Mirror Lake Barrier and put away his Magic Broom, transitioning instead to a swift Sword Flight, poised to embrace the impending triumph.

Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart and his companions had been defeated.

Certainly.

Their loss was not owing to a disparity in power.

Indeed, the combined might of even four of them would have far surpassed his own.

They were vanquished by their ignorance of magical arts.

"You have lost."

Yun Liao uttered these three words.

Upon hearing them, every spectator outside the confines of the battleground drew a sharp breath.

Had it concluded just like that?

Nevertheless, Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart sliced his own arm with his sword, his voice resonating with renewed ferocity.

"Today, it is either you perish, or I do!"

...

High in the sky.

Observing the unfolding scene, three peak experts from the Red Domain – Yun Shui in the Sky and the two elders from Yin Yang – could not conceal their astonishment.

The Domain Master's four disciples had laid siege to Yun Liao; two lay dead, and two were wounded.

It was utterly astonishing.

Judging from this bout, and by observing the subsequent rankings on the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension list, it appeared that the Red Domain's premier position had already been decided.

Could anyone within Xuan Court Pavilion possibly contend with Yun Liao?

Absolutely not!

Were there any individuals within the Yin Yang Family capable of challenging Yun Liao for the Red Domain's top spot?

Also, no.

As for other prodigious talents, even if one possessed a strength comparable to Nu Huan Feng and the others, what then?

A single strike from the Sword Spirit would suffice to terminate their lives.

"Sect Leader Wen, this young man's future is indeed bright." Despite Jin Busan and Di Chen sporting rather displeased expressions, Yun Shui in the Sky could not refrain from a sigh of admiration.

The two elders of Yin Yang offered continuous nods of agreement.

Wen Ping offered a silent smile.

He no longer wished to witness the reactions of Yun Shui in the Sky and the others, for beyond mere amazement, no other emotion was evident.

What he yearned to observe was the response from Jin Busan and Di Chen.

After two of the Domain Master's disciples met their end, could they still maintain their composure?

As anticipated, the taciturn Di Chen vanished from the sky, reappearing instantaneously outside the protective barrier of the battlefield.

"Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, it concludes now!"

However, he received no reply whatsoever from Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart.

This caused Di Chen a degree of anxiety.

Two of the Domain Master's disciples, who were like demons, had already perished.

Should another one fall,

the Domain Master Mansion would be utterly humiliated, and the Domain Master himself would be profoundly disgraced.

It was imperative to mitigate further losses with utmost urgency!

Di Chen bellowed, "Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, I shall not issue a third warning. If you refuse to concede, do not hold me accountable for turning against you!"

This declaration left the onlookers completely astounded.

Was the Hall Master of Jisheng Hall contemplating forcefully terminating this contest?

Abandoning all semblance of pride?

Yet, Di Chen's anger was met with only silent indifference from Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart.

If Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart chose not to surrender, then this match would proceed.

The ultimate result could see all four of the Domain Master's disciples perish by Yun Liao's hand, with Yun Liao trampling upon the Domain Master Mansion and achieving renown throughout the land!

"Scoundrel, how dare you disregard the Hall Master!"

Bang—

All four of Di Chen's spiritual veins erupted simultaneously.

He raised a clenched fist, unleashing it towards the protective barrier surrounding the battlefield.
