System's Super Sect Chapter 1023 951: See You in Hell, Black Dragon

Meanwhile, Chen Xie had just concluded his discussion with Han Li.

He was astonished to learn that Han Li intended to announce that the Divine Shadow Army, numbering a million strong, would be dispatched to protect the Immortal Sect.

Their deployment was set for seven days hence!

"This presents a potential hidden danger."

The Domain Lord's Mansion had shifted its directive from attacking the Immortal Sect to a protective stance, a move aimed at preserving their authority and continuing their alliance with the Immortal Sect.

A fabricated reason was provided: the rampant infiltration by operatives from the Sky-Covering Tower.

As a consequence, numerous Sky-Covering Tower infiltrators, previously overlooked, were now being apprehended.

Initially, Chen Xie considered this a routine development.

However, Han Li's insistence on making this a prominent headline in the Immortal Daily suggested that the elimination of these Sky-Covering Tower infiltrators was merely a grand performance by the Domain Lord's Mansion.

This charade was designed to legitimize the deployment of the Divine Shadow Army to the Star Sword Mountain Range.

It must be acknowledged that the Domain Lord's Mansion was adept at employing intricate schemes.

But why did Chen Xie still perceive this as a concealed threat?

This was because the Sect Leader harbored no intention of aligning with the Domain Lord's Mansion.

Consequently, the million-strong Divine Shadow Army would still advance towards the Star Sword Mountain Range.

To protect?

Certainly not!

Upon the outbreak of conflict, they would function as a sharp blade.

And a blade positioned perilously close to the Immortal Sect.

"However, given that the Sect Leader possesses the audacity to challenge the Domain Lord's Mansion, he undoubtedly does not fear this mere million-strong Divine Shadow Army. It might even be suggested that the Sect Leader pays no regard to those ten million soldiers of the Divine Shadow Army. The Sect Leader most assuredly has countermeasures in place!"

With this reflection, Chen Xie experienced a significant sense of relief.

Yet, just as tranquility began to settle, more alarming intelligence arrived from Heaven and Earth Lake.

The news pertained to the Sky-Covering Tower.

It indicated that the Immortal Sect had already attracted the attention of high-ranking figures within the Sky-Covering Tower!

These were individuals who occupied the true apex of the Heaven-Gazing Gorge!

Undeniably superior to any Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivator.

Upon receiving the conveyed information from his subordinates, Chen Xie's countenance grew exceptionally grim. "I must inform the Sect Leader without delay."

...

Concurrently, Pingping was contemplating an incursion into the Undead Hell, though he had not yet initiated the action.

Chen Xie arrived with news.

However, this time, the intelligence was not concerning the Domain Lord's Mansion.

It was about the Sky-Covering Tower.

"Sect Leader, our predicament may escalate. I have already ascertained a general understanding of the identities of the two remaining Sky-Covering Tower powerhouses present in Heaven and Earth Lake."

Chen Xie's tone was tinged with palpable concern.

This relentless cascade of crises created an exceptionally intense atmosphere.

Even with Chen Xie's formidable mental fortitude, a sense of unease began to creep in.

Pingping responded with calm composure, "We shall erect walls against invading armies and construct embankments against floods; there is no need for panic."

"Based on the intelligence acquired from Black Shadow, they are operatives affiliated with the Sky-Covering Tower's Battle Division. Information available to subordinates regarding the Battle Division indicates that they constitute the primary force engaged in conflict with You Country, perpetually involved in warfare against their forces."

"Continue speaking."

Having anticipated the possibility of Heaven and Earth Lake becoming a secondary theatre of operations.

Therefore, upon receiving this information, Pingping remained unperturbed.

"According to their statements, they were dispatched under a bounty issued by the Battle Division. Their objective is to eliminate the Immortal Sect and manage matters concerning Elder Microlife. Subordinates also discovered that this bounty was personally sanctioned by the Sky-Covering Tower's upper echelons, originating from individuals possessing at least Celestial Unrestricted strength. Consequently, subordinates suspect that the Sky-Covering Tower leadership may already have us in their sights. Further elites from the Battle Division are expected to arrive in Heaven and Earth Lake in the ensuing period... It is indeed plausible that Heaven and Earth Lake will transform into a second battleground."

To be targeted by such a formidable power structure, Chen Xie still felt a measure of apprehension.

Following his comprehension of You Country's standing.

He then gained an appreciation for the might of the Sky-Covering Tower.

The Sky-Covering Tower's intense rivalry with You Country was a testament to its power, indicating it was by no means inferior to You Country.

The current iteration of the Immortal Sect had only recently established its presence in the Heaven-Gazing Gorge.

"This was an inevitable development, destined to occur eventually from the outset. Maintain constant surveillance of their activities and ensure their movements are perpetually tracked. Since they have accepted this bounty, they must not be permitted to depart Heaven and Earth Lake, nor should they be allowed to transmit any intelligence regarding the Immortal Sect. The less they comprehend about us, the more advantageous it will be for our cause."

"Your subordinates understand."

Upon hearing the Sect Leader's confident declaration, Chen Xie felt a significant measure of reassurance.

Indeed.

The Sect Leader invariably possesses contingency plans.

"First, let us concentrate on broadening the influence of the Immortal Daily. Now that White Crystal is in abundant supply, it is time to commit to our efforts. For the members of the Sky-Covering Tower who are currently within Heaven and Earth Lake, we shall grant them a few more days to endure."

Pingping declared with indifference before swiftly severing their connection using the Sound Transmission Stone.

Returning to the depths of the Undead Hell, Pingping resolved to unearth something significant before his departure.

The reason being, he was in urgent need of undead beings at the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted stage.

Relying solely on Dark Stream Annihilation would prove insufficient.

Concurrently, a realization dawned upon him with clarity.

It was possible that the upper limit for the Undead Summoning Skill had been reached.

While the Undead Summoning Skill itself did not stipulate a summoning ceiling, the Undead Hell clearly possessed its own constraints.

Based on the current circumstances within the Undead Hell, he had gained a measure of understanding.

It was conceivable that the most powerful entity here was the God of the Dead.

This entity was on par with the Celestial Unrestricted level.

Beyond this, there might be nothing else of comparable strength.

Fortunately, Pingping had never harbored intentions of depending exclusively on the Undead Summoning Skill; thus, this situation did not bring about significant disappointment.

He continued his arduous journey through the rugged terrain of the Undead Hell, persisting for three full days.

However.

His efforts remained fruitless.

Then, quite unexpectedly, a golden opportunity presented itself.

Pingping's gaze fell upon an immense black dragon, slumbering in a pool of dark water. Its coiled, colossal form bore a striking resemblance to a towering mountain.

The sheer magnitude of its body was astonishing.

Even in repose, viewed from the side, it was a dragon of immense proportions, easily measuring a thousand meters in width.

Vast black wings were folded upon its back; when unfurled, they would assuredly stretch for at least three to four thousand meters.

Should it take to the skies, its shadow would undoubtedly consume the heavens, much like a heavy blanket of dark clouds.

"System!"

Promptly, the system responded by displaying its fundamental information.

[Netherworld Black Dragon King]

[Power: Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted]

[Race: Black Dragon Race]

[Skills: Black Dragon World-Destroying Step (Transforms into a black meteorite, descending from the heavens to crush the earth with 3-5 times the force, unleashing world-ending might.)

Black Dragon Flame (The signature flame of the Black Dragon Race, and also their Innate Divine Technique. The Black Flame descends, obliterating all in its path.)]

A mere two skills!

It lacked the Dark Stream Annihilation talent.

Furthermore, it possessed fewer skills than Dark Stream Annihilation.

Yet, as the Dragon King of its esteemed race, the quantity of skills was a trivial concern, for its sheer power was indubitably formidable.

"At last, I have found you. It is fortunate indeed that I did not relinquish my search."

Pingping immediately unleashed the Spiritual Chain.

The chain ensnared the slumbering Netherworld Black Dragon King, and it was subsequently subdued amidst its fierce struggles.

It must be acknowledged that the Dragon King's might was truly colossal.

Its brief resistance alone left the surrounding ground in utter disarray, resembling the catastrophic aftermath of a world-ending conflict.

"With Dark Stream Annihilation and now you, I possess two top-tier undead creatures."

A wave of elation washed over Pingping.

However, he did not cease his exploration.

"System, conduct a comparison between Dark Stream Annihilation and the Netherworld Black Dragon King. Who is the stronger of the two?"

Pingping could not resist inquiring.

The system's reply came swiftly: "Excluding the trait of immortality, the Netherworld Black Dragon King is indeed the more potent entity. The Black Dragon Race stands among the most supreme races within the Undead Hell, thus Dark Stream Annihilation remains slightly inferior."
