System's Super Sect Chapter 1037 961: Bombarding the Warships

"Prepare!"

The great sword was raised high into the air.

War God Kui Qing, a formidable figure from the Battle Division, bellowed with might.

His resonant voice thunderously drowned out the pulsating drumbeats around.

In unison with Kui Qing's command.

A hundred warships, positioned on the River of the Curved Realm, vibrated simultaneously.

The fifty thousand elite warriors on board all averted their upward gazes, their attention now focused.

Each warrior held their head high, their eyes fixed upon the Curved Realm Passage, an intangible yet overwhelmingly potent aura radiating outwards.

Fifty thousand souls!

Not a single individual among them was below the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression!

No exceptions whatsoever!

The least powerful among them had reached the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression!

Furthermore, each warrior had victoriously emerged from numerous life-and-death battles on the battlefield.

Their combat prowess was exceptionally superior to their peers.

Such a force of fifty thousand could decimate all the powers at Heaven and Earth Lake in an exceedingly short period.

For Heaven and Earth Lake collectively possessed fewer than ten thousand individuals residing within the Lower Realm of Mountain Suppression.

The Demon Race faction situated at Demon Emperor Lake, after undergoing their transformations, fielded just over thirty thousand Demon Kings.

This figure also encompassed many regular Demon Kings whose power level was comparable to those in the Lower Realm of Mountain Suppression.

Adding to the formidable nature of their opposition, five additional phalanxes were positioned behind them.

After a brief interval, Kui Qing's great sword made its decisive descent!

"First team, advance!"

As Kui Qing's command echoed, over a hundred warships majestically surged forward, propelling themselves towards the Curved Realm Passage.

The war drums reached a deafening crescendo!

Subsequently, warship after warship plunged downwards, hurtling directly into the Curved Realm Passage.

Upon entering the Curved Realm Passage, the warships oriented themselves vertically to the ground within the passage, commencing a continuous descent.

However, the individuals aboard the warships perceived no significant change, as if they were still navigating upon a river.

The sole discernible difference was that the vast expanse of sky had once been above them.

Now, the Curved Realm loomed overhead.

Once all the vessels of the first team had successfully entered the Curved Realm Passage, Kui Qing once again raised his great sword.

"Second team, prepare for boarding!"

The war drums escalated to an even greater climax!

Their sound reverberated, shaking the very heavens!

...

Heaven and Earth Lake.

Thousand Mechanism Lake.

Upon a sprawling plain situated a hundred li distant from Vast City, the spatial barrier abruptly began to tremble.

The tremors were remarkably subtle, merely sufficient to startle the nearby avian life.

However, a hundred meters away, a middle-aged man's countenance shifted dramatically, his hair standing on end.

He rapidly withdrew a signal rod from within his garments!

With a single pull!

A fiery projectile shot skyward!

Bang——

The explosive fireworks unfurled in the bright daylight.

In the skies above Vast City, Chen Xie's expression immediately grew tense, and he shouted, "Sect Leader!"

Aboard the Flying Ship, Sword Demon, Long Yue, Huaikong, and the others froze instantly, their faces etched with concern.

Silence descended upon them.

For they could distinctly feel the immense pressure.

If Lan Feng's intel was accurate, there were five nearly invincible War Gods from the Battle Division serving under Celestial Unrestricted, alongside twenty to twenty-five regular Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivators.

With their limited numbers, what effective action could they possibly take?

All eyes were hastily directed towards the location where the fireworks had erupted.

Their intention was to discern the number of incoming adversaries.

"They have finally arrived."

At this juncture, Wen Ping emerged from the cabin, his demeanor exuding an excitement and anticipation that contrasted sharply with everyone else's apprehension.

Witnessing this, Huaikong promptly inquired, "Sect Leader, what course of action shall we, the Demon Race, take now?"

"Let us proceed and observe the situation first."

Wen Ping skillfully piloted the Flying Ship, accelerating towards the site of the explosion.

Upon observing the spatial barrier gradually widening into an opening, Wen Ping issued further instructions: "Huaikong, Shifeng, lead the members of the Demon Race and the Heaven and Earth Alliance to await twenty li away. Without my explicit command, none shall approach the Curved Realm Passage."

Noticing the passage expanding.

Within mere moments, it had enlarged sufficiently to permit a single person's passage.

And it continued to grow!

Yet, Huaikong did not immediately comply with the order to move.

Instead, he remained stationary on board, showing no inclination to depart from the Flying Ship, and offered a deep bow, "Sect Leader, allow us to advance first."

Huaikong perceived that the Sect Leader was requesting his withdrawal.

He himself had no intention of retreating.

As a loyal member of the Immortal Sect, he saw no valid reason for retreat.

Even if imminent death awaited, he vowed to shield the Sect Leader from all attacks.

"There is no need."

Wen Ping declined his offer.

His gaze remained intently fixed within the depths of the Curved Realm Passage, his spiritual power surging rapidly into the concealed interior.

He was determined to ascertain the conditions prevailing within the passage.

Following Wen Ping's refusal, Huaikong persisted, "Sect Leader, the Demon Race is prepared to serve as the vanguard, to confront those scoundrels from the Covering Sky Tower in a fight to the death, and to bring unparalleled glory to the Immortal Sect!"

Shifeng immediately knelt on one knee.

"Shifeng is also willing to serve as the vanguard!"

Shifeng's motivation for speaking was straightforward.

His allegiance lay with the Demon Race!

This sentiment mirrored the very thought process he had when he previously intended to confront Huaikong, Ying Zhao, and their brethren.

For the sake of the Demon Race's future, he was capable of slaying his own brethren.

For the sake of the Demon Race's future, he would naturally lay down his life.

If the Demon Race were to cower behind the Sect Leader now.

Would they still secure a position beneath the Immortal Sect in times to come?

Today, a Heaven and Earth Alliance existed.

But would a Red Flower Society, or perhaps even a Holy Alliance, emerge in the future?

Therefore, for this impending confrontation, the Demon Race had to take the vanguard, demonstrating their worth not only to the world but also to the Sect Leader.

"The war has not yet commenced; there is no need to rush to prove yourself before me, nor will I offer you protection from every foe," Wen Ping stated, pondering deeply. He considered that instructing the Demon Race and the Heaven and Earth Alliance to retreat twenty miles might have been excessively cautious.

His original intent was to minimize their casualties. However, upon realizing that a concentrated assault from millions of Demon Race soldiers, coupled with over a million members of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, at the exit of the Curved Realm Passage could forge an imposing force.

It would be potent enough to present a significant challenge to Covering Sky Tower.

Wen Ping swiftly issued a command: "All members of the Demon Race and the Heaven and Earth Alliance, prepare to assemble! Be ready to establish the Vein Formation Array and the Demon Power Array at the exit of the Curved Realm Passage!"
