System's Super Sect Chapter 1051 - 973: The Gathering of Three Dragons
Previously on System's Super Sect...
"Sect Leader, could you possibly leave one or two for me? The Mirror-Breaking Pill within my body still possesses considerable potency. While the residual power isn't sufficient to aid me in opening the fifth Meridian Gate, it is more than enough to sustain my Angel Body for an additional three to four hours."
Sword Demon implored.
Previously, he had scarcely encountered a single War God, but now, five living War Gods stood before him, presenting an opportunity he was reluctant to let slip by.
Upon hearing Sword Demon's request, Wen Ping's gaze swept through the Curved Realm Barrier towards the sky where the enraged Kui Qing and his associates were positioned. He then responded in a grave tone, "Kui Qing can be yours to handle, but ensure you leave him a complete corpse. Furthermore, after you dispatch Kui Qing, show no mercy to the other Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted powerhouses from the Battle Division. For their transgression of invading the Heaven and Earth Lake, the Zhatiang Tower shall certainly pay the price."
"Rest assured, Sect Leader, just grant me a little time, and I shall resolve them all. Sect Leader, it is thus decided, Kui Qing is mine!" Sword Demon exclaimed with evident delight, immediately activating his Angel's Power and commencing the regeneration of his severed wings.
In a mere three breaths' time, the damaged wings were fully reborn.
However, the Angel's Wings were now tainted with crimson blood, and though they retained their sacred appearance, they exuded a subtle, menacing aura reminiscent of an Asura.
Suddenly.
Kui Qing's voice, resonating like thunderous celestial judgment, cut through the ongoing exchange between Sword Demon and Wen Ping.
"Since you still possess reinforcements, why do you not summon them forth!"
Sword Demon slowly directed his head upwards, fixing his gaze upon Kui Qing in the heavens, and offered a somewhat resigned smile. "Kui Qing, you will come to lament those words very soon. I had intended to request additional time from the Sect Leader for a sparring match with you, but you have preempted that. Ah well, there is no need to ask then. Furthermore, the Sect Leader has already consented to leave you to my disposal."
"Sect Leader? The Immortal Sect Leader? So, he is not merely a coward who lurks behind others."
Kui Qing scoffed indifferently, uttering the title 'Immortal Sect Leader' with disdain.
He was privy to the intimate details surrounding the Immortal Sect Leader, whom he viewed as nothing more than a minor figure propped up by the Celestial Unrestricted powerhouses.
Claiming the prestigious title of Immortal Sect Leader and basking in unearned glory, yet ultimately, just a puppet, a mere pawn positioned at the forefront to absorb the brunt of any assault.
Wan Zhi and the others, hands planted firmly on their hips, also displayed expressions brimming with anticipation.
"Allow your Sect Leader to emerge, cease this act of hiding. If you had the audacity to invade our Zhatiang Tower's territory, why then do you behave like a scurrying rat, concealing yourself?"
"Wen Ping, show yourself!"
Following the blatant provocations from Wan Zhi and his four companions, Sword Demon could only shake his head in a gesture of pity.
Truly, they were as ignorant as frogs confined to a well!
In the subsequent moment, a voice echoed through the air.
It was Wen Ping's own voice.
"I have been awaiting this moment."
As Wen Ping's voice emanated from the entrance of the Curved Realm Passage, the remaining dozen or so Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted powerhouses instantly redirected their attention, focusing their collective gaze upon the passage's opening.
With immediate readiness and palpable tension, they formed a protective cordon around the entrance.
However, Kui Qing raised his hand, signaling them to fall back.
"Do not obstruct him; permit him to proceed! Lest he fears becoming a quivering turtle, refusing to emerge upon seeing our numbers."
After Kui Qing issued his command, the clustered group finally dispersed.
Though they did not retreat far, ensuring that the desperate Sword Demon would not suddenly attempt to breach the Curved Realm Passage.
At this juncture, individuals from both the Battle Division and Mitian City also turned their attention towards the entrance of the Curved Realm Passage, their eyes ablaze with potent anger.
Despite the fact that all events within Mitian City and the casualties suffered by the Battle Division were the direct result of Sword Demon's actions, Sword Demon was affiliated with the Immortal Sect.
The true instigator behind this entire ordeal was none other than the Immortal Sect Leader himself!
Without the Immortal Sect Leader's explicit orders, Sword Demon would never have dared to trespass upon their domain.
Without the Immortal Sect Leader's rigorous cultivation guidance, Sword Demon could not have achieved his current formidable strength, especially considering his prior, albeit notable, reputation on the battlefield.
Consequently, whether from the Battle Division or Mitian City, the collective animosity directed towards the Immortal Sect Leader burned even fiercer than their hatred for Sword Demon.
In the ensuing moment, a majestic Flying Ship gradually ascended from the depths of the Curved Realm River, situated not far from the Curved Realm Passage, majestically appearing before the assembled crowd.
All gazes converged upon Wen Ping instantaneously.
They scrutinized Wen Ping intently, their eyes working diligently to imprint his visage into their memories.
So, this was the enigmatic Immortal Sect Leader.
His appearance deviated significantly from their preconceived notions.
Within their imaginations, the Sect Leader of a prestigious establishment like the Immortal Sect should logically be either a venerable elder of several centuries or, at the very least, a seasoned individual exceeding a hundred years of age.
Could this be the secret behind his youthful appearance?
Or was he, in truth, genuinely so young?
As Kui Qing pondered, his gaze, sharp as a blade, fixed upon Wen Ping, his voice laced with a hint of surprise, "Wen Ping, I never expected you to actually dare to show yourself."
Wen Ping met Kui Qing's stare with a chilling look but offered no verbal response, nor did he engage in trivial conversation. Instead, he promptly retrieved the Magic Wand and activated the Teleportation Array situated deep within the Immortal Sect.
The Teleportation Array hummed to life, and a cascade of white light descended from the heavens.
Boom!
The brilliant white light illuminated the area outside Mitian City, capturing the attention of every onlooker.
From within the white light then emerged the Wood Dragon, its hair and beard a verdant green, surveying the surroundings with a look of utter contempt for all living things.
At this moment, the aura emanating from the Wood Dragon was that of a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted.
However, the presence of merely a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted was not particularly astounding.
After all, more than a dozen cultivators of the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted realm already lay deceased on this very ground.
"Huh?"
"A Demon God!"
The faces of Kui Qing and his companions contorted in shock.
This was a Demon God unlike any they had ever heard of!
The domineering aura it exuded...
It was a dragon!
A True Dragon!
"It's actually a dragon!" Kui Qing exclaimed, utterly astonished.
Wan Zhi and the others could not help but feel a similar sense of awe, as they had not encountered members of the Dragon Race in a very long time. They were even uncertain if any dragons still existed.
The Immortal Sect possessed a dragon.
Furthermore, its power level was on the verge of reaching Celestial Unrestricted.
While the onlookers were still immersed in their astonishment, the Gate of Hell materialized as the white light from the Teleportation Array vanished. The instant it opened, a boundless Death Qi surged forth, permeating the very fabric of the world, closely followed by an ominous mass of black smoke.
Dark Stream Annihilation materialized first, then came to a halt beside Wen Ping!
Next was the Netherworld Black Dragon King!
As the majestic Netherworld Black Dragon King revealed its head, the world was instantly plunged into darkness, mimicking the fall of night.
All gazes were fixed upon the Netherworld Black Dragon King as it unleashed its draconic breath, hovering above Mitian City, its form eclipsing the sun and obscuring the sky.
A second dragon!
The Immortal Sect boasted not one, but two dragons!
Both entities were infinitely close to achieving Celestial Unrestricted!
What form of terrifying power was this?
As their bewilderment reached its peak, a piercing dragon roar once again reverberated through the sky, echoing across the desolate ruins of Mitian City.
An intense, piercing cold descended silently, causing all elements of the world to begin freezing; the flowing water turned to ice, as if a harsh, unforgiving winter had suddenly descended.
The Ice Dragon King thrust its head forth, and with successive, resonant dragon roars, the Ice Dragon King summoned wind and snow into this realm.
At this moment, the expressions of Kui Qing and his companions turned grave.
A third dragon!
And this one was an Ice Dragon!
This Immortal Sect truly...
Abruptly, Wen Ping's voice cut through their stunned thoughts.
"Attack together. Eliminate all of them, except for Kui Qing!"
