System's Super Sect Chapter 1043 965: Invading the Domain of the Shrouding Heaven Tower (Returned)

As Spiritual Power spread out, the entirety of Mitian City was revealed. This metropolis dwarfed any city Wen Ping had previously encountered, its skyline dominated by successive towering structures. Some buildings reached heights of a hundred zhang! It was the first time Wen Ping had witnessed such colossal edifices in this world, like giants planted firmly in Mitian City's heart, casting their gaze upon all within. Upon probing with his Spiritual Power, Wen Ping found the city teeming with formidable warriors from the Shadow Pavilion, a force easily comparable to their Vanguard Army. Experts at the Earth Unrestricted realm were ubiquitous, and the Mountain Suppression Realm was as common as stray dogs. Fortunately, no Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts were present in numbers. The entirety of Mitian City's Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts—a total of 25 individuals—were currently concentrated around the Vanguard Army. Five among them occupied the extreme peak of the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted realm. Wen Ping deduced without difficulty that these were the famed War Gods of the Shadow Pavilion's War Department.

After a period of observation over Mitian City, Chen Xie dispatched another message. The moment Wen Ping retrieved the Sound Transmission Stone, Chen Xie's voice, laced with anxiety, flooded through. "Sect Leader, it's confirmed. They intend for Celestial Unrestricted experts from the War Department to inaugurate a new Curved Realm Passage seven days hence. The precise exit coordinates remain undetermined, but based on their preliminary strategies, I anticipate they will favor a remote locale to preempt any detection of anomalies within the Space Barrier."

Wen Ping let out a cold sneer. "A rather fanciful notion they entertain. Do they truly believe Heaven and Earth Lake is their personal playground, accessible at their whim?"

Though Chen Xie harbored his own anger and was already aware of the formidable might wielded by the War Department Vanguard across the Curved Realm, the transmitted footage from Black Shadow still left him astonished. "Sect Leader, the vicinity of the Curved Realm's entrance is swarming with powerful warriors, just as Hei Zhao described. This Vanguard Army is indeed formidable. The forces venturing into the Curved Realm are merely a fraction of their strength. Do you and Elder Sword Demon truly intend to confront them?"

"It's not about brute force, but a simple reciprocation of courtesy," Wen Ping replied with a hint of mischief.

Following his statement, he cast a glance towards Sword Demon, who stood poised for action. Wen Ping uttered no further words, but a subtle nod sufficed for Sword Demon to grasp his intent. "I shall sow chaos amongst them!" Sword Demon declared icily before bowing to Wen Ping.

In the ensuing second, he fixed his gaze, as frosty as a winter expanse, upon the entrance to the Curved Realm Passage. Beyond it lay the inverted landscape of Mitian City and the imposing presence of the War Department Vanguard Army. Whoosh— Instantly, Sword Demon became a blur of black and white, accelerating as he charged forth without a shred of hesitation. He had, after all, been anticipating this very moment.

...Mitian City. Upon Kui Qing's command to hold their positions, the remaining 100,000 strong War Department Vanguard Army began a slow withdrawal from the Curved Realm Passage entrance. They were all acutely aware of the situation. As the Curved Realm Passage returned to its previous state of tranquility, emitting no sound, their gazes inevitably turned toward its entrance. A pervasive curiosity consumed them—what had transpired inside? Where were Senior Celestial Sea and Senior Ye Yi? Why had they not yet emerged? They were all Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts; surely, nothing untoward could have befallen them?

However, as precious time elapsed and Celestial Sea and the others remained absent, a creeping unease began to settle among the ranks. "What could possibly be happening within the Curved Realm Passage?" "I haven't the faintest idea; there's an utter silence. Could something have happened to Senior Celestial Sea and the others?" "Cease your foolish speculation! Senior Celestial Sea and the others are Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts, merely a step away from true Celestial Unrestricted. Even if the forces within Heaven and Earth Lake possess means to exploit the Curved Realm's treacherous pathways to inflict casualties, how could they possibly restrain Senior Celestial Sea and his peers?" "Precisely! Should Senior Celestial Sea and the others decide to depart the Curved Realm Passage, who could possibly impede them? Not even the five War Gods could!"

The soldiers conversed animatedly, each voice imbued with a reluctance to contemplate the direst outcomes. They refused to believe in the Shadow Pavilion's potential failure, and they steadfastly rejected the notion that the Immortal Sect could maintain its ascendant position.

However, precisely at that instant, a blur of black and white streaked across the surface of the Curved Realm River, as swift as lightning.

A torrent of black and white Sword Qi tore through the scene, cleaving ship after ship in two.

The warriors of the War Department Vanguard aboard the vessels didn't even have time to react before they were severed by the Sword Qi.

There wasn't even a moment for a scream.

Those who managed to evade the monochrome Sword Qi immediately scrambled to shore upon realizing the gravity of the situation.

Then, they stood on the riverbank, trembling, as they watched their ships splinter and succumb to the depths of the Curved Realm.

This sudden event swiftly drew the attention of numerous Earth Unrestricted experts and even those at the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted level.

All eyes were fixed upon the surface of the Curved Realm River, their gazes filled with disbelief.

Every single one of them was utterly astonished!

It was because they had never conceived of such an unforeseen turn of events.

"Who is that?"

"Seize him!"

Three experts, each at the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted stage, lunged forward.

But the Sword Demon met their assault head-on, casually unleashing several Cross Blade Intents that compelled them to fall back.

One of the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts, eager to display his prowess by capturing the newly emerged foe before everyone, found his most potent finishing move effortlessly nullified by the opponent. With a swift turn, he fled.

The enemy remained uncaught; instead, the pursuer was terrified away!

Having repelled the trio with his Cross Blade Intent, the Sword Demon had no intention of ceasing his onslaught, continuing his slaughter of the War Department Vanguard Army along the riverbank.

The Sword Demon would not let slip the opportunity to decimate the warriors of Shadow Pavilion's War Department.

Having advanced to the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted realm, whether in the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression or the Half-Step Earth Unrestricted level, he could now annihilate opponents with a single stroke.

"All of you shall perish!"

The Black Saber descended repeatedly, projecting waves of black and white Sword Intent that radiated terrifying energy in every direction, akin to a sickle harvesting a field of grain.

Those within the Mountain Suppression Realm had no chance to even react before they perished beneath the Sword Intent.

In a mere handful of breaths, several thousand soldiers from the War Department Vanguard Army had already met their end.

"It's the Sword Demon!"

"He's the Sword Demon that Hei Zhao spoke of!"

The Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts observing from the sky finally regained their senses and cried out in realization.

At this moment, their understanding solidified.

The Immortal Sect actually dared to launch an attack!

The Immortal Sect had the audacity to dispatch someone to orchestrate this assault!

The Immortal Sect actually had the gall for a single individual to undertake such a mission!

This was sheer madness!

"Kill him!"

"He dares to come alone, does he consider himself some kind of paramount figure?"

"Sword Demon? Today, I will ensure your soul becomes a permanent resident beneath my blade!"

More than twenty Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts surged forward, each beginning to channel and unleash formidable School Vein Skills!

Their intent was to annihilate Sword Demon in an instant.

Yet, the Sword Demon showed no sign of retreat; instead, he pressed on, continuing to claim the lives of the Mountain Suppression Realm and Earth Unrestricted warriors within the War Department Vanguard Army.

(I've been occupied with real-life matters lately... I only returned home yesterday after completing my work. It's been some time since I last wrote, and my writing skills feel a bit out of practice. I ended up revising this chapter twice before finalizing it.

That concludes today's update.

I promise to deliver more than one chapter tomorrow.)
