System's Super Sect Chapter 1060 - 982: The Heaven-Shrouding Tower’s Complete Victory

Elder Jiang stared with chilling eyes at the Wood Dragon ensnared within the fiery ocean, and also at the Winter Ice Dragon King alongside the Netherworld Black Dragon King. "Three insignificant pests, how dare you encroach upon the hallowed grounds of Zhetian Tower! Today, your very blood shall serve to appease the departed souls of our brethren," he boomed, his voice laced with murderous intent.

Boom——

The expanse of flames intensified its descent, accelerating its fall. It bore down upon the Wood Dragon and, before the other two dragons could even contemplate a move, surged towards the nearest targets: the Winter Ice Dragon King and the Netherworld Black Dragon King.

These two dragons harbored a desperate plan to strike directly at Wan Zhi, risking everything. A direct assault, if they committed all their power, would make ending the already gravely wounded Wan Zhi as effortless as plucking a ripe fruit.

Yet, in a mere blink of an eye, both the Winter Ice Dragon King and the Netherworld Black Dragon King were swiftly overcome by the encroaching inferno. In the face of imminent annihilation, the Netherworld Black Dragon King unleashed its Black Dragon Flame, a torrent of searing heat that enveloped its form as it fought against the relentless pressure of the sea of fire. Simultaneously, the Winter Ice Dragon King conjured its Ice Dragon Flame, a blast of frigid snow and biting cold that swept towards the flames, attempting to quell their heat.

However, their resistance proved fleeting. After a mere moment, the two dragons were unceremoniously consumed by the fiery abyss, their agonizing roars echoing through the celestial expanse.

The piercing dragon cries reverberated, filling the heavens and the earth, echoing for a solid five counts of breath. When the five counts concluded, the cries abruptly silenced!

"Is that all you've got?" Elder Jiang scoffed, his tone dripping with derision. "With such pathetic strength, you dare defile our Zhetian Tower's domain, lay waste to a city, and butcher our people?"

The biting sarcasm had barely left his lips.

Elder Jiang's voice rose again, imbued with fresh killing intent. "You are truly audacious, acting like cornered beasts!"

Instantly, the sea of fire fractured, sending three lashing tendrils of flame towards Kui Qing and his companions at impossible speeds, ensnaring them. Transforming into a wisp of dark smoke, the Dark Stream Annihilation, its scythe raised high and aimed squarely at Wan Zhi, descended. If that blow connected...

Wan Zhi would surely face a fate worse than death, if not outright demise. However, the scythe met a shield forged from fiery threads and, instead of striking its target, shattered into countless pieces.

Suddenly.

The sea of fire surged past Kui Qing and the others, crashing down with colossal force!

Bang——

Dark Stream Annihilation was instantly engulfed and obliterated by the overwhelming inferno, leaving no chance for a reaction. At this critical juncture, only the Sword Demon remained standing, but the fiery expanse above loomed ever closer.

Oblivion was imminent. Yet, the Sword Demon wore an expression of ecstatic excitement. The 'Angel's Power' coursing through his veins erupted with an intensity never before witnessed. All the residual medicinal potency from the Mirror-Breaking Pill transmuted into Angel's Power, flooding into the Angel's Sword. The once-sacrosanct blade gradually succumbed to a crimson hue, its holy aura replaced by an overwhelming miasma of slaughter.

In this transformation, the pristine Angel's Wings warped, suddenly suffused with a blood-red aura of carnage. The Slaughter Angel was born in that very moment! This also signified that the Sword Demon's Level Four magic, 'Angel Descent,' had been forcibly propelled from the Entry Level Realm to the Minor Success Realm, thanks to the potent medicinal energies of the Mirror-Breaking Pill.

"A breakthrough amidst battle?" Elder Jiang exclaimed in astonishment, before letting out a nonchalant chuckle. "Ha! To achieve such a feat even now, you are indeed a seed for Celestial Unrestricted cultivation. Alas, you have chosen the wrong path; your end will only be a matter of regret."

With those words, Elder Jiang fixed his gaze upon the Sword Demon, witnessing him raise his blade and unleash a crimson Sword Aura spanning hundreds of feet. Within the aura, multiple distinct powers coalesced, a phenomenon that stirred even Elder Jiang. Though he couldn't identify the exact nature of these powers, he was certain that this Sword Aura had far surpassed the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted Realm, possessing the capability to cleave through any one of Kui Qing's group.

"Is this your final desperate act?" Observing the Sword Aura hurtling towards the sea of fire, Elder Jiang murmured impassively, his gaze utterly unfazed by the Sword Demon's counter-offensive. He found the display rather amusing, viewing it as a testament to the Sword Demon's profound ignorance of his own limitations.

In the ensuing moment, the Sword Aura collided with the sea of fire.

But as clay oxen entering the sea, the Sword Aura did not create even a ripple. It was instantly consumed by the inferno.

Witnessing this, the Sword Demon offered a helpless smile. "So, the Celestial Unrestricted is far mightier than I had surmised... I truly wish to eliminate him."

As these words left his lips, a brilliant white light descended from the heavens.

Boom——

The white light materialized instantaneously, vanishing just as swiftly.

The moment the white light dissipated, the immense sea of fire plummeted to the earth.

This cataclysmic impact fissured the ground and toppled mountains, leaving absolutely no vestige of Mitian City, which was utterly eradicated from existence.

Everything within a ten-thousand-foot radius was annihilated.

Following the devastating strike, Elder Jiang casually retracted his hands, standing tall and proud in the sky, casting a serene gaze below.

Once the Sword Demon and the others were out of sight, Elder Jiang sealed his Meridian Gate with a subtle smirk.

"A pack of insignificant pests. Did you truly believe you could run rampant before Zhetian Tower? I did not intervene earlier, deeming you mere ants unworthy of my personal attention. I never anticipated my disdain would embolden your audacity."

With that declaration, Elder Jiang inhaled deeply, expelling a significant portion of the fury from his chest.

Although much of his rage subsided, Elder Jiang still harbored lingering resentment.

Had experts from the You Country been the ones slaughtering Zhetian Tower’s disciples, he would not have been so incensed.

This was because the You Country and Zhetian Tower were on equal footing.

However, this time, the perpetrators responsible for the decimation of Zhetian Tower’s Battle Division were from a mere Immortal Sect.

It was unprecedented to encounter such brazenly arrogant ants.

Ants ought to possess the awareness of their station, meekly awaiting their demise, yet these dared to defy the iron fist of Zhetian Tower.

Mere defiance was one matter.

But they dared to infiltrate Zhetian Tower’s domain.

Did they truly perceive themselves as formidable?

As powerful as the You Country?

Concurrently, the fiery barrier encasing Kui Qing and the others began to recede, and the trio displayed expressions of profound relief.

The oppressive might of the Wood Dragon, the downfall of the Battle Division, the obliteration of Mitian City—all that accumulated anger was instantly released.

"It is concluded,"

Wan Zhi sighed, cradling his wounded left arm.

Kui Qing and Bu Jin exchanged glances, both offering subtle smiles.

"Your Demon God is indeed potent, Immortal Sect, but in the face of a Celestial Unrestricted, what significance does it hold? Not even a sliver of survival is afforded."

This is the might of Zhetian Tower!

No matter the formidable Demon Gods you command, Immortal Sect.

Before the Celestial Unrestricted, hailed as peerless beneath that very realm, not even a shred of hope can be found.

The advantage of five sealed Meridian Gates over four is an insurmountable chasm, far beyond what the mere title of 'invincible below Celestial Unrestricted' can bridge.

This disparity vastly dwarfs that between a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted and a true Earth Unrestricted cultivator.

Subsequent to Bu Jin's pronouncement, Kui Qing swiftly added, "Brother Bu, the time is now for our Battle Division to launch a counteroffensive! All the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts of the Immortal Sect have perished, and Sect Leader Wenping also met his end at Elder Jiang's hands. Every loss we have suffered must be repaid manifold, a thousandfold, by the Immortal Sect!"

Bu Jin inclined his head in agreement.

Wan Zhi glanced at his severed limb, then clenched his jaw and nodded resolutely.

The moment had arrived for his Battle Division to retaliate!
