System's Super Sect Chapter 1042 964: A Bountiful Harvest, Preparing to Enter Heaven-Gazing Gorge

All gathered strength was unleashed in a full-power assault.

The most potent blow surged directly towards Dark Stream Annihilation.

However, Dark Stream Annihilation had previously slain a Demon God with 599 years of cultivation; under the Celestial Unrestricted realm, none could match him.

The Black Scythe ascended and swept down upon the assault of the four.

It forcefully neutralized their combined attack while simultaneously striking towards Ye Yi.

At that very moment, the attacks from the three Celestial Travelers descended.

Ye Yi's heart plunged, realizing his demise was imminent.

He turned his head, only to see that the other three had abandoned him, pressing their charge towards Dark Stream Annihilation.

Ye Yi offered a grim smile, accepting his fate.

"I never imagined I'd perish in this accursed place!"

As he uttered these words, the Black Scythe descended.

The attacks from the three Celestial Travelers also impacted Ye Yi.

Though not instantly fatal, the blows violently expelled Ye Yi from the Curved Realm Passage.

His death seemed inevitable!

Yet, Ye Yi's sacrifice was not in vain; it at least bought the other three precious moments to escape.

The trio had already reached Dark Stream Annihilation's vicinity, directly bypassing his formidable presence.

Upon successfully maneuvering past Dark Stream Annihilation, the three felt a surge of elation.

They knew that merely a few more breaths of time were needed to exploit the opportunity and flee the Curved Realm Passage.

After all, the Curved Realm Passage was not exceptionally long.

Given their swiftness, ten breaths would be ample to storm out.

But in the very next instant, the expressions of the three shifted dramatically.

A massive battleship erupted from the Qu Realm, effectively sealing their escape route.

Celestial Sea.

Ye Yi.

These two unexpectedly materialized in the flanking spaces of the battleship, blocking their path.

"Celestial Sea?"

"Ye Yi!"

The three cried out in astonishment.

It was because both had been presumed dead.

Yet, here they stood, alive and blocking their escape!

"Why the haste to depart, my three guests? Do you seek eternal life? This Sect Leader can certainly bestow it upon you... but before you embrace eternity, you must first accept death."

Wen Ping delivered these words with a smile.

This smile was undeniably more menacing than any blade.

Upon witnessing this smile, the three felt a profound sense of unease.

It dawned on them then that the three Celestial Travelers had not defected.

Instead, much like Celestial Sea, they had likely been transformed into puppet-like beings after their demise.

As this stark realization struck them, Celestial Sea and Ye Yi had already launched their assault.

Their offensive momentum was significantly amplified compared to before.

It mirrored the predicament faced by the three Celestial Travelers.

With their backs against each other, the three descended into utter despair.

"You will perish!"

"You will fall beneath the iron hooves of my Battle Division's army!"

"Your Immortal Sect dares to defy the Heaven-Covering Tower; utter annihilation awaits you!"

The three defiantly hurled threats at Wen Ping.

Wen Ping met their defiance with an indifferent smile, offering no retort.

Their unyielding spirit was indeed commendable.

However, their demise was still inevitable.

In the subsequent second, Dark Stream Annihilation and the Celestial Travelers initiated their charge.

With the combined onslaught of five individuals, augmented by Dark Stream Annihilation's Black Scythe, the three were once again flung from the Qu Realm Passage, their supposed defenses proving utterly insufficient.

One minute later, the three found themselves back within the Curved Realm Passage.

But their eyes had already turned vacant and white.

They were no longer living.

Dragon Yue observed this grim spectacle, his heart unsettled for a considerable duration; a powerful yearning surged within him, compelling him to inquire: "Sect Leader, what form of sorcery is this?"

"Forbidden Magic,"

Wen Ping responded with a flat tone.

Noticing Dragon Yue's continued look of eager anticipation, he elaborated, "The Mage Tower possesses such knowledge; search diligently."

Dragon Yue's spirits instantly soared.

An overwhelming urge to visit the Mage Tower without delay seized him.

Wen Ping's voice then resonated once more.

"Ascend now."

The eight Celestial Travelers swiftly boarded the Flying Ship, re-entering the Qu Realm.

After meticulously scavenging the remains of over ten Earth Unrestricted Expert corpses, Wen Ping piloted the Flying Ship back towards Heaven and Earth Lake.

"A total of 100 Earth Unrestricted Expert corpses, all transmuted into Black Shadows; 50 have been positioned at the far end of the Curved Realm Passage, and you shall arrange the remaining 50. In essence, I require constant surveillance over every action undertaken by their War Department Vanguard Army."

Wen Ping handed the Storage Ring, containing the Earth Unrestricted Expert corpses, to Chen Xie. His gaze then fixed upon the Curved Realm Passage, remaining there without shifting.

A fleeting triumph, after all, remains merely fleeting.

The Covering Sky Building is, in the end, still an overwhelmingly colossal entity.

Chen Xie received the Storage Ring and bowed, stating: "Sect Leader, rest assured. With these Black Shadows in place, we are thoroughly equipped to monitor every movement of their War Department Vanguard Army. Not a single word or deed of theirs will escape our complete control!"

Having conveyed this, Chen Xie departed the Flying Ship.

Guided by the Teleportation Array, he journeyed back to the Immortal Sect.

Following Chen Xie's departure, Huaikong arrived, first inquiring about the situation from Long Yue. Upon learning the outcome, a sense of relief washed over him.

Despite this, he did not give the order to deactivate the Demon Power Array and the Vein Array. Huaikong understood the necessity of maintaining constant vigilance until the threat was entirely eliminated.

Meanwhile, Wenping remained focused on the Curved Realm Passage, his silence broken by a resolute statement: "We cannot simply await our doom."

Long Yue and Huaikong were taken aback by his words.

What could the Sect Leader possibly mean by not waiting for death?

Did he intend to launch a preemptive strike?

As they pondered his intention, the voice of the Sword Demon echoed from a distance.

He materialized within a tempest of black and white, his laughter boisterous and his presence imposing. The undeniable aura of a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted emanated from him.

As he drew nearer, a surge of elation swept through the Demon Race army and the members of the Heaven and Earth Alliance below.

Another supreme expert had arrived!

Their prospects for victory had just significantly improved!

"If the Sword Demon Elder were to confront Celestial Traveler now, it would likely be more than just a stalemate," Huaikong mused.

Wenping replied, "With sufficient time, he should be contending for the Celestial Unrestricted realm."

The words filled Long Yue and Huaikong with a profound sense of envy.

Celestial Unrestricted.

The pinnacle of power in Heaven-Gazing Gorge!

Who among them did not aspire to reach such a level?

In the subsequent moment, the Sword Demon halted before the Flying Ship.

"Sect Leader, has the engagement not yet commenced?"

"The initial assault from the War Department's Vanguard Army has concluded, but they could initiate a second wave at any moment. For now, remain here and maintain your guard."

"Sect Leader, I have a daring proposal, if you would permit it."

"Daring? Speak freely."

Wenping was intrigued to hear the Sword Demon's audacious plan.

A wild grin spread across the Sword Demon's face as he declared, "I wish to charge headfirst into their territory, to invade the domain of the Covering Sky Building! Let them witness, let them comprehend, that the people of the Immortal Sect are not to be trifled with."

Upon hearing this, Huaikong and Long Yue were rendered speechless by the sheer audacity of the Sword Demon's plan.

Such recklessness was uniquely characteristic of the Sword Demon.

An invasion into the Covering Sky Building's territory.

Truly audacious!

Wait a moment!

Hadn't the Sect Leader just stated they shouldn't await their doom?

Could it be that the Sect Leader also harbored intentions of invading the Covering Sky Building's domain?

While their minds raced with speculation, Wenping's decisive response confirmed their dawning realization: "Permission granted!"

"Truly?"

The Sword Demon's joy was palpable.

He hadn't anticipated that the Sect Leader would actually sanction such a bold endeavor.

"Indeed, but you must coordinate this venture with Chen Xie." With the assistance of Chen Xie's fifty Black Shadows, the Sword Demon would be shielded from complete peril.

As for the five War Gods of the War Department, they would serve as the Sword Demon's adversaries.

The Sword Demon thrived on challenge, growing stronger with each battle.

These five would undoubtedly act as whetstones for his cultivation.

Wenping then produced a Mirror-Breaking Pill, presenting it to the Sword Demon. "Take this Mirror-Breaking Pill. If fortune favors you, it may aid your breakthrough to Celestial Unrestricted. If not, it will still suffice to restore you from exhaustion to your peak condition."

"My gratitude, Sect Leader!"

Clutching the Mirror-Breaking Pill, the Sword Demon's already joyous expression brightened even further.

Wenping then instructed, "Long Yue, remain here and support Huaikong. Be prepared at all times to face their second onslaught."

Long Yue acknowledged the order with a nod.

Following Long Yue's departure from the Flying Ship, Wenping directly piloted it into the Curved Realm Passage.

Utilizing the Black Shadows as a vanguard, he navigated towards the entrance of the passage.

Wenping did not immediately emerge, as Chen Xie had reported that the area outside the Curved Realm Passage was heavily occupied by War Department personnel.

"Sect Leader, favorable news has arrived. They do not appear to be preparing for a continued assault; rather, they seem intent on opening another Curved Realm Passage!"

"Are you certain of this observation?"

"Subordinates have deployed numerous Black Shadows to conduct comprehensive surveillance. Confirmation will be reported immediately upon verification."

"Mm."

Wenping responded with a thoughtful hum.

He then extended his Spiritual Power, scanning beyond the exit.

Within moments, his divine sense permeated the entirety of Mitian City!
