System's Super Sect Chapter 1036 960: Thirty Battle Division Vanguard Armies!

Fourteen arms were severed simultaneously from seven individuals.

Their minds considered defiance.

But to resist meant certain death.

Survival was their only aim, so they chose to endure the ordeal.

After severing the arms of four people, Chen Xie raised his hand, sealing the meridians of all seven. Once their Meridian Gates were sealed, the seven figures succumbed to unconsciousness.

"Cast them out," Chen Xie commanded with a cold tone. Several experts from the Mountain Suppression realm at the itinerant hostel promptly emerged, grinning as they seized the seven individuals and unceremoniously tossed them out of the Main Hall.

Only fourteen conspicuous bloodstains and fourteen severed arms remained within the hall.

Silence descended upon everyone in the Hundred Sects Alliance, their eyes fixed on the retreating figures of the seven, a stark fear of becoming the next to lose an arm gripping their hearts.

However, Wen Ping had no intention of making further moves.

For it would serve no meaningful purpose.

The fate of these seven was sufficient as a potent warning to the leaders of these Four-star Giant Influences for a considerable period.

"Chen Xie."

"Sect Leader, your command?"

Chen Xie swiftly advanced.

"Pei Wu."

"Sect Leader, your command?"

Pei Wu also took a few steps forward, drawing nearer to Wen Ping.

Finally, Wen Ping's gaze settled upon Bainian Hanshan, "Hanshan!"

"Sect Leader Wen, please state your needs."

Bainian Hanshan regarded Wen Ping, a complex mix of anxiety and an indescribable sense of relief swirling within him.

His decision back then had been absolutely correct!

Had he not dispatched Bainian Xiang to the Immortal Sect.

Had he instead joined the crusade against the Immortal Sect.

Fearlessly, he would not be occupying the position of Vice Alliance Leader today.

"The three of you will proceed to organize Vast City. Consolidate all forces operating above the Divine Profound Realm, and prepare to join forces with the Demon Race's army for the looming conflict. Those above the Earth Unrestricted realm will be handled by others, but below Earth Unrestricted, your people will manage the arrangements."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The three responded in unison.

In the next instant, Wen Ping ascended directly into the air, soaring out of the Main Hall of the Hundred Sects Alliance.

Internal strife was resolved.

Now it was time to prepare for the external enemies anticipated at noon tomorrow.

...

Time flowed onward.

Into the night it went.

Dawn broke.

Noon drew near!

Regarding the formation of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, the populace of the Hundred Sects Alliance initially displayed some reluctance.

Yet, upon realizing that these changes primarily impacted those at the uppermost echelons, the members of the Hundred Sects Alliance gradually came to accept them.

The higher-ups were consumed by concern.

Concern about whether they could securely maintain their current standing.

But those at the base had no such worries whatsoever.

Their sole concern was whether the impending war would disrupt the commerce and advancement of Heaven and Earth Lake.

If disruptions were to occur,

how grave would they be?

How formidable were the experts from the Celestial Cover Pavilion?

How did they measure up against the formidable experts of the Immortal Sect?

At this juncture, the Sword Demon had also made a full recovery. Harnessing the potent Qi of the Realm-Breaking Pill, he had truly attained the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted level.

Regrettably, he had not managed to break through into Celestial Unrestricted!

The fifth Meridian Gate—Refining Anomaly!

He remained unable to breach it.

The pathways leading to the Refining Anomaly Meridian Gate were obstructed by an unseen barrier.

Nevertheless, his Holy Light Blade Intent had experienced a significant augmentation in power!

...

Within the domain of the Celestial Cover Pavilion.

The Black Domain!

Mitian City!

This was an expansive metropolis, sprawling across hundreds of miles.

At this precise moment, outside the confines of Mitian City, the resonant beat of war drums echoed like thunder, permeating the very sky.

In the heavens above Mitian City,

along the River of the Curved Realm that flowed near Mitian City,

an immeasurable contingent of Celestial Cover Pavilion Battle Division members was amassed. They were arrayed upon formidable warships; positioned behind the Wing Race Demon God; assembled in force outside Mitian City.

By conservative estimates,

their numbers reached at least 300,000!

All individuals were positioned above the Mountain Suppression Realm!

More captivating than this vast assembly was a mighty figure standing poised on the surface of the River of the Curved Realm, utterly unfazed by the waters of the Curved Realm.

They had fully opened all five meridians!

Harnessing the immense Vein Qi of the heavens and earth, they channeled this Vein Qi like a piercing arrow directly into the River of the Curved Realm, thereby forging a colossal passage within the Curved Realm.

This passage extended deep into the Curved Realm, advancing with astonishing velocity before encountering a spatial barrier.

Boom——

The Spatial Barrier fractured and yielded in response.

The war drums intensified their thunderous cadence at this moment.

The very earth seemed to tremble in kind.

Meanwhile, overseeing this vanguard army of over 300,000 soldiers were five formidable individuals clad in Dark Gold Battle Armor, hovering suspended in the air.

These five were none other than the esteemed War Gods of the Battle Division.

Possessing near invincibility beneath the Celestial Unrestricted realm!

Each had personally ended the lives of at least three Half-Step Earth Unrestricted experts!

The Curved Realm Passage was on the verge of its opening, yet these five remained unhurried.

Having grown accustomed to the rigors of battle through years of conflict with the You Country, a mission like the one to Heaven and Earth Lake was, to them, no more than a trivial game.

They paid no heed to any power that might stand behind the Immortal Sect.

Could such a power truly surpass the might of the Celestial Cover Pavilion?

If indeed they possessed such strength, they would scarcely be found lurking in the obscure confines of Heaven and Earth Lake.

This world, though vast, was not without its limitations.

The number of accessible locations was neither excessively few nor staggeringly many.

Heaven and Earth Lake, a desolate region scarred by war, was a place even Earth Unrestricted experts generally avoided residing in.

Their singular focus was on the individual who possessed the legendary Rebirth Body.

The Rebirth Body.

This was a Spirit Body exclusively cultivated by the leader of their pavilion.

"Do you believe that individual might be a traitor within our Celestial Cover Pavilion? Perhaps someone intimately connected to the Pavilion Leader? Otherwise, how could a Rebirth Body, a Spirit Body of such a unique lineage, manifest in someone from the remote Heaven and Earth Lake?"

"It's not entirely beyond the realm of possibility. However, the probability is exceedingly slim. Who could possibly have pilfered the Rebirth Body from the Pavilion Leader's side? Alternatively, how could the Pavilion Leader have managed to transfer the Rebirth Body to a second individual? It is, after all, the ancestral Spirit Body of the Celestial Cover Pavilion's leader."

"The more we discuss it, the more my curiosity intensifies. According to the intelligence relayed by Hei Zhao and his associates, that person is merely in the Earth Unrestricted Lower Realm. For someone at such a low cultivation level to have somehow acquired the Rebirth Body is, frankly, impossible. If such a feat were achievable, those formidable Celestial Unrestricted experts from You Country would have intervened long ago."

The five renowned War Gods of the Battle Division conversed amongst themselves, their gazes occasionally flickering towards the movements occurring on the surface of the River of the Curved Realm.

Their sole interest lay in identifying the individual cultivating the coveted Rebirth Body.

All other matters were of no consequence to them.

Neither the identity of the one who dispatched the Celestial Traveler,

nor the power operating from behind the Immortal Sect.

These details held no importance for them.

In the ensuing moment, the Celestial Unrestricted expert stationed on the River of the Curved Realm ceased their intricate maneuvers.

As the immense Vein Qi dissipated, a passage of the Curved Realm, a hundred zhang in width, materialized within the Qujing River, extending directly downwards.

This newly opened portal led into the depths of the Thousand Mechanism Lake!

Having successfully opened the Curved Realm Passage, the Celestial Unrestricted expert showed no inclination to linger, ascending swiftly into the heavens. Before departing, they left the five War Gods of the Battle Division with a single, pointed remark.

"I rather fancy that... Sword Control Skill. Make sure you bring it back!"

The five War Gods promptly offered a respectful bow.

They saw the Celestial Unrestricted expert off with deep deference.

"Rest assured, my lord!"

"We shall undoubtedly retrieve the Sword Control Skill for you."

Indeed, they too harbored a considerable fascination for this particular Sword Control Skill.

Whispers suggested it possessed the incredible ability to strike down foes from dozens of miles away.

Such a level of swordsmanship was rarely, if ever, witnessed even at the prestigious Heaven-Gazing Gorge.

However, given this lord's direct request, they were compelled to relinquish the Sword Control Skill as a form of tribute.

Once the Celestial Unrestricted expert had vanished from sight, one of the War Gods of the Battle Division decisively drew the long sword sheathed at his waist.

The gleaming blade emerged from its scabbard.

Intricate patterns of Sword Qi began to weave and intertwine.

The resounding war drums grew ever louder and more insistent.

All 300,000 soldiers collectively raised their gazes towards the heavens, eagerly anticipating the descent of the colossal long sword.

Upon the imminent descent of this magnificent long sword,

it would serve as the definitive signal for their grand march to commence!
