System's Super Sect Chapter 1057 - 979: Arrival of the Celestial Unrestricted

His gaze plummeted into utter despair. It was over. Completely and utterly finished. "Help... me..." "Help..." "Me..." Jing Wuxing, wracked by agony, cried out to Kui Qing and the others, clinging to a sliver of hope. Yet, no response came. The sight of Wan Zhi and Bu Jin advancing towards the Sword Demon plunged his heart into an abyss of despair, like a dam bursting. Escape! I must survive! Driven by this singular resolve, Jing Wuxing fled desperately. However, in a mere twenty breaths, the tail of a Wood Dragon struck him, exacerbating injuries to his already ravaged Spirit Body. The only small mercy was that he avoided being trampled by the Black Dragon. Despite this, Jing Wuxing’s Spirit Body suffered critical damage, ninety percent obliterated, leaving him without even the basic ability to fly. He could only scramble through the ruins of Mitian City, seeking refuge behind the ten-odd Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts of Zhetian Tower. "You dare to intervene?" Wen Ping's gaze turned cold as he observed the Zhetian Tower experts being decimated by the Sword Demon alone. Had they remained uninvolved, he might not have been so hasty to end them. But since they chose to interfere, now was the opportune moment to deal with them all. "Jing Wuxing is a spent force. Ice Dragon, cease your pursuit of him. Go and exterminate these bothersome pests!" At Wen Ping's command, the Ice Dragon immediately pivoted. Its roars echoed relentlessly! It had been vexed by their incessant harassment, but Wen Ping's prior order to eliminate Jing Wuxing had prevented it from attending to them. Now, circumstances had changed. It had direct orders. It intended to annihilate them all! An irritating swarm of ants! With a volley of draconic roars, the world grew frigid, and a furious, bone-chilling wind surged forth. This frigid gale, accompanied by snow and ice, descended upon the land. Wherever the Winter Ice Dragon King tread, all was transformed into a frozen tableau. Even the River of the Qu Realm succumbed to the ice! Forget flowers and trees. Any being within three thousand meters of the Winter Ice Dragon King, unless they were an Earth Unrestricted expert, was instantly encased in ice, immobile. This was the devastating effect of one of the Winter Ice Dragon King's abilities—Winter is Coming! "Damn it!" "Retreat swiftly!" "The ice dragon is bearing down on us." Witnessing this terrifying spectacle, the ten or so Zhetian Tower experts who had intended to aid Jing Wuxing's escape descended into panic. They scattered like frightened birds and beasts. Yet, the Ice Dragon King harbored no intention of permitting their escape. They were destined to be mere ants. Why should a dragon deign to be disturbed by them! A thunderous dragon roar split the heavens, intensifying the blizzard with a ferocity that signaled the world's end. All that had been frozen was now shattered. This included the trees. It included the mountains and rivers. It included humans! Following this, the Winter Ice Dragon King unleashed a torrent of blue-white flame, accompanied by an expansive wave of frigid air. Much like the Black Dragon King's Black Dragon Flame, the Ice Dragon King's Ice Dragon Flame was one of its most formidable techniques. The Black Dragon Flame consumed all! The Ice Dragon Flame froze all! Within a ten-thousand-meter radius, all swept by the Ice Dragon Flame was instantly sealed. This included the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts from Zhetian Tower! Some of the Zhetian Tower experts, fleeing the fray in desperation, cast backward glances only to see several Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts already entombed in ice by the Ice Dragon Flame. Terrified, they dared not look back, continuing their frantic flight. Jing Wuxing's fate was no longer their concern. Some even lamented their decision to assist Jing Wuxing in attacking the Immortal Sect experts, thereby creating an escape opportunity for him. Boom—— Boom—— Amidst the chilling impacts from the Ice Dragon King, a few audacious Zhetian Tower experts could not resist turning for a glimpse. What they witnessed was a scene that would haunt their nightmares. The frozen Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts were directly pulverized by the Ice Dragon King, their bodies bursting into dozens of fragments. Heads, limbs, and torsos were violently separated. Within a hundred breaths, five or six individuals met their demise. Wen Ping observed this carnage, a strange sense of loss washing over him. Seeing this, Kui Qing and the others grew even more frantic. "Immortal Sect... Wen Ping... just you wait! How dare you! You will pay dearly for this! The Juggernaut army's iron hooves will crush your Immortal Sect! We shall see how you, Wen Ping, meet your end then!"

Kui Qing's shouts intensified, his assaults utilizing the Vein Technique against the Sword Demon becoming even more ferocious. Wan Zhi and Bu Jin were engaged similarly.

Wen Ping observed Kui Qing and the others, then let out a cold sneer. "Kui Qing, you ought to be grateful this is your domain, where Celestial Unrestricted experts can offer support. Without their backing, whether you could escape alive today would be a different story."

Following these words, the Sword Demon erupted into maniacal laughter.

"You believe you can obliterate the Immortal Sect? Try getting past me first."

The Angel’s Sword, infused with Angel’s Power, descended, repelling Wan Zhi with a single strike, then shattering Bu Jin’s Vein Technique with another.

"Sword Demon, you shall perish this day!" Kui Qing, his teeth gritted in frustration, unable to confront Wen Ping directly, redirected his fury towards the Sword Demon.

The Sword Demon offered no verbal response, instead meeting the challenge with the Angel’s Sword.

Simultaneously, he waved his Magic Wand.

Tier Four Magic—Invincible Holy Light, unleashed once more!

When the Holy Light enveloped the Sword Demon, it signified his invincibility for the next ten breaths!

"Since you are so eager to see me dead, I shall save you for last." After invoking the Invincible Holy Light, the Sword Demon did not advance on Kui Qing but instead lunged towards Wan Zhi.

Withstanding Wan Zhi’s Earth Level Upper Grade School Vein Skill, the Angel’s Sword, imbued with Angel’s Power, sliced directly towards Wan Zhi’s shoulder.

In one decisive blow.

Wan Zhi’s left arm was severed!

However, the Sword Demon did not relent; the Angel’s Sword continued its relentless assault, focusing solely on Wan Zhi, completely disregarding Kui Qing and the others.

Regardless of how Kui Qing and the others attacked the Sword Demon, he remained steadfast.

"It’s that technique again!"

Kui Qing bellowed repeatedly in his rage.

He could only watch, helpless, as Wan Zhi endured continuous strikes from the Sword Demon, his spirit body sustaining grievous damage, yet he was powerless to intervene.

"This vein technique is undeniably a Celestial Level Vein Skill!" Bu Jin exclaimed, his voice a mixture of frustration and anger as he attacked the Sword Demon.

The frustration stemmed from the mystery of how the Sword Demon acquired a Celestial Level Vein Skill.

The anger arose from Wan Zhi's left and right arms being successively severed, leaving him unable to offer any aid.

"Save me!"

After both his arms were severed, Wan Zhi, immersed in his own blood, cried out desperately to the two individuals beside him for succor.

He yearned to escape but was unable to.

To flee at this juncture would mean presenting his back to the Sword Demon.

That path led to certain demise!

Yet, to remain meant he would not survive either.

In a mere five breaths, both arms were gone.

What would sustain him in the trials that lay ahead?

The Sword Demon released a thunderous laugh, then, with mocking resonance, joined Wan Zhi’s plea, "Kui Qing, Bu Jin, hurry and save him!"

With these words, the Angel’s Sword in his grasp grew even more savage.

And it began to descend directly towards the head.

His intention was to end Wan Zhi's life!

Upon grasping this grim intent, Kui Qing and the others' faces contorted from terror to despair, even as they continued their futile attacks on the Sword Demon.

They knew their efforts were in vain.

But they possessed no alternative.

"Die."

The Sword Demon’s Angel’s Sword pierced through Wan Zhi’s vein technique and sliced towards his forehead.

But at that precise moment.

A crimson flash suddenly materialized between heaven and earth, appearing from the horizon and streaking directly towards the Sword Demon’s chest.

The velocity was so extreme that the Sword Demon lacked even a moment to react.

"What!"

The Sword Demon recoiled in shock.

Yet, by the time his senses returned, that scarlet streak had already impacted the Sword Demon’s chest.

Bam—

With a single, powerful impact, the Sword Demon was propelled back a thousand zhang.

Then, a venerable voice emerged from the swirling clouds.

"Remarkable, you haven’t perished?"

This voice held a discernible note of incredulous astonishment.

The instant this voice resonated, a flicker of hope illuminated the countenances of Kui Qing, Wan Zhi, Bu Jin, and the despairing Jing Wuxing.

"Senior Jiang!"

"Senior Jiang!"

"Senior Jiang!"

The individuals allied with Kui Qing cried out in unison.

Jing Wuxing hastily implored, "Senior Jiang, save me... save me!"

"Immortal Sect, you are truly audacious. I never fathomed you would dare assault our Zhetian Pavilion’s territory, lay waste to Mitian City, and extinguish so many of our Battle Division experts." Along with these pronouncements, an elder with cascading white hair materialized from the Sea of Clouds.

Beneath him was a Wing Race Demon God whose imposing aura was in no way inferior to that of Kui Qing and the others. Its form was bizarre, possessing three heads, each pair of eyes blazing with golden inferno.

Its entire form was a vibrant crimson, boasting a pair of fleshy wings that spanned hundreds of zhang. When unfurled, these wings were vast enough to eclipse the sun.

Upon witnessing the Wood Dragon, Black Dragon King, and Ice Dragon King, no fear flickered in its eyes; instead, a fierce Battle Intent blazed forth.

It was evident that its bloodline possessed a high level!

With such a Winged Race Demon God serving as a mount, one could readily infer that the elderly figure commanding it was, without a doubt, an expert of the Celestial Unrestricted realm.

"Arrived sooner than anticipated," Wen Ping remarked, a hint of surprise in his tone, though it scarcely affected him.

It was merely unfortunate for his meticulously laid plans.

Had he been afforded a sliver more time, he could have eliminated Jing Wuxing and then set his sights on either Wan Zhi or Bu Jin.

The ability to claim one more life would translate into an additional controllable corpse.

For individuals like Jing Wuxing, once imbued with the power of Necromancy, their strength would undoubtedly ascend to a level comparable to the Ice Dragon King and Black Dragon Yang.

When combined with their inherent immortality, such beings would be truly peerless beneath the Celestial Unrestricted.

The overall might of the Immortal Sect could be further augmented.

After all, the adversaries of the Immortal Sect were not confined solely to Zhetian Pavilion.

There was also the nation of You!

The old man's gaze traversed over the assembled individuals before settling upon the prow of the Flying Ship, his eyes, sharp as razors, locking onto Wen Ping.

"Are you Wen Ping?"

Within his stare, a sliver of murderous intent was discernible.

Wen Ping detected this, and his guard immediately went up.

His current Flying Ship was insufficient to withstand a direct assault from a Celestial Unrestricted expert.

Should such a formidable figure decide to strike him down, he would be compelled to instantly activate the Teleportation Array to ensure his escape, lest he perish.

"Swiftly engage!" And so, Wen Ping bypassed the question posed by the Jiang-named Celestial Unrestricted expert, issuing an immediate command to the Wood Dragon and its companions.

"You dare!"

The old man bellowed in furious indignation.

The imposing aura of a Celestial Unrestricted expert instantly radiated outwards, engulfing the surroundings.

The sheer pressure seemed to render the very space incapable of drawing breath.
