System's Super Sect Chapter 1266 - 1111: The Rapid Rise of the Demon Emperor Lake Demon Race (First Update)

Just as the two of them were about to raise their glasses and drink heartily, a major battle between Chitian Tower and the Sky-Split Race was commencing in the Black Domain.

At this moment, the Sky-Split Race had already charged out from the Howling Abyss, spanning ten thousand miles, and under the ruthless demon hooves of the Sky-Split Race, over three hundred Chitian Tower influences and cities had fallen.

Among them, there were as many as two hundred massive cities with populations exceeding tens of millions.

The Five-star Influences and those below them were beyond counting.

Even seven Six-star Influences were not spared!

Additionally, over five Celestial Unrestricted strong warriors had fallen!

Such a loss was enormous for Chitian Tower, a loss that hadn’t been seen in a century of battles with You Country on the battlefield.

Thus, soon after gathering five million people, Chitian Tower’s Battle Division launched a hasty counter-attack against the Sky-Split Race.

They didn’t want to wait any longer.

In the eyes of many Celestial Unrestricted, the Sky-Split Race was merely an Underground Demon Race that the Tower Master allowed to survive back then, not wanting any trouble.

The Tower Master had mercifully allowed it to live.

It didn’t know gratitude, even though it was fine.

Yet it still dared to provoke a war.

Truly clueless!

Not knowing the severity of its actions!

As time passed, more and more Chitian Tower members flowed through the Curved Realm Passage, rapidly joining the battlefield from all corners of Hei Yu.

By evening, Chitian Tower had gathered nearly a hundred million Mountain Suppression Realm experts, and nearly three hundred million cultivators below the Mountain Suppression Realm.

Over four hundred million Chitian Tower members simultaneously launched counter-attacks against the Sky-Split Race on various battlefields.

Additionally, a large number of war machines crafted by the Vortex Divine Artisan were also thrown into battle.

After nightfall, the unstoppable iron hooves of the Sky-Split Race were firmly held in check by Chitian Tower, unable to advance a step further!

And on this very night, the battle between Chitian Tower and the Sky-Split Race entered a white-hot phase.

However, to conclude or determine victory would not be achievable in just a day or two.

Chen Xie, who was eating in the kitchen, sprang up upon receiving the news, shouting to Weisheng Xingyu, who had just picked up a mouth-watering meatball with chopsticks: "Elder Weisheng."

Weisheng Xingyu’s chopsticks immediately froze, as if suddenly petrified. The meat juice, usually too precious to spill, dripped onto the dining table from the meatball. He returned the meatball to the bowl and quickly set down his bowl and chopsticks to stand up.

It was just like when a child eating dinner is suddenly called out by a playmate at the door.

"Has it started?"

"Yes, yes."

Chen Xie nodded.

Chen Xie’s vague words seemed like they were just some incoherent chatter about monkeys in a mist to the other Elders and disciples who hadn’t gone to Celestial Sun City, hearing only the random shrieks of monkeys without knowing on which branch they sat.

Qin Shan, Yu Mo, Huai Ye and the others were not as curious, after all, they had been in the sect for a while.

However, Tianxian’s curiosity exploded instantly.

Because the speaker was the Tower Master of Secrets, known to all.

As for Weisheng Xingyu, he too had learned his background from Yun Liao.

The previous generation Tower Master of Secrets!

My word!

A figure standing atop the Heaven-Gazing Gorge several centuries ago.

These two suddenly said that something had started a fight.

And had the look of leaving the kitchen.

Could this matter be small?

In recent days, Chen Xie and Weisheng Xingyu’s zeal for the delicacies made by Huai Ye hadn’t gone unnoticed by him.

He still remembered the first day there.

Chen Xie.

This Tower Master of Secrets in the Primordial Yang Domain said to be nothing short of divine.

Nearly licking the bowl while drinking soup.

And fighting with other Elders for the dishes.

Would ordinary matters make him like this?

"Elder Chen, what’s getting started?"

Tianxian also set down his bowl and chopsticks.

Chen Xie waved casually, evading with, "Nothing, just a small matter, a small matter."

"Elder Chen, who are you trying to fool?" Tianxian had a proud smile as if he had seen through Chen Xie.

Chen Xie, helpless, stopped his footsteps towards the door, then glanced at the many Immortal Sect disciples looking at him, thinking that it was not an unspeakable secret.

He then explained, "Just now, a battle has broken out between Chitian Tower and the Sky-Split Race from the Howling Abyss. The Sky-Split Race has deployed nearly thirty billion demons, and Chitian Tower has gathered nearly four hundred million members within a day. According to the current intelligence, the Celestial Unrestricted strong warriors participating in the battle have exceeded ten, and there are as many as twenty Demon Ancestors!"

Having said that, Chen Xie immediately started walking out, while not forgetting to call out to Huai Ye, "Girl, save me a bit of the food. I’ll check out the situation at the Tower of Secrets and be back to eat soon."

"Wait for me!"

Weisheng Xingyu followed.

Tianxian sighed, then quickened his pace to catch up with the two, "Over thirty Celestial Unrestricted participated in the battle! The last time such a massive war erupted atop Heaven-Gazing Gorge was two hundred years ago."

"I’m going too!"

Huai Ye promptly followed.

Next were other Immortal Sect Elders and disciples.

Even You Yue, who had lived for over seven hundred years and had seen all manner of grand events, couldn’t help but follow to the Tower of Secrets.

In less than a hundred breaths of time, the entire kitchen was vacant, creating the unprecedented spectacle of an empty kitchen during mealtime.

Will it happen again in the future?

Highly unlikely!

Unless a sudden decisive battle erupts between You Country and Chitian Tower, right at mealtime.

Otherwise, nothing could stop this group of Immortal Sect’s gluttons!

When everyone arrived at the third floor of the Tower of Secrets and saw the magnificent scenes simultaneously displayed on the four black walls, they chose silence.

The war between Chitian Tower and the Sky-Split Race, the flames of war burning atop mountains and rivers, within cities...

The areas engulfed in flames.

Mountains collapsed and the ground shattered.

The heavens and earth changed color.

As if it were a world war.

This scene, whether for the disciples of the Immortal Sect and numerous elders, or for the existences like Tianxian and You Yue who have already entered the Celestial Unrestricted, was quite impactful.

"Why did Zhetian Tower and the Sky-Split Race suddenly break out in war?" Tianxian looked puzzled, clearly aware that the Sky-Split Race has long resided in the Howling Abyss without interfering with Zhetian Tower.

Chen Xie said in a deep voice, "There are many reasons, so many that I dare not speak. If there’s indeed a fuse, it must be Elder Mulong and Elder Weisheng."

Upon hearing that the fuse involved Weisheng Xingyu, Tianxian was shocked but held his tongue, "Elder Weisheng, are you trying to destroy Zhetian..."

"There’s no difference if you pause or not." Weisheng Xingyu continued, "I don’t want to destroy Zhetian Tower, but fate destined its destruction. Who would have thought that by some strange coincidence, the Sky-Split Race would vent all their anger on Zhetian Tower."

"Why?"

Tianxian continued to ask.

Weisheng Xingyu immediately turned around, asking Tianxian with interest, "If I say that the Sect Leader knows all the truth, do you dare to ask him?"

"Uh..."

Tianxian remained silent.

Weisheng Xingyu sneered lightly, his gaze returning to the scene on the Black Wall, "Since you don’t dare to ask, I can only say that I don’t know much either."

Life Technique.

Anyone can calculate it.

Except for the Sect Leader.

It’s not that he’s afraid to offend.

It’s because in the Final Forbidden Area, it had once been calculated, resulting in the backlash of the Life Technique, losing a hundred years of lifespan in vain.

He didn’t have much life left.

How could he dare to calculate again?

This is just like Tianxian not daring to ask the Sect Leader what happened.

Both are cowardly!

Suddenly.

Tianxian’s voice appeared again, tinged with shock and fear, "Elder Weisheng, with what you just said, I understand now. It turns out this great war was orchestrated by the Sect Leader. The Sect Leader has set plans in You Country and Zhetian Tower territories at the same time!"

This statement left everyone stunned for a moment.

Even You Yue couldn’t help but have her heart tremble.

Weisheng Xingyu was even more surprised.

What did he say?

...

Meanwhile, as the war between Zhetian Tower and the Sky-Split Race raged with heaven and earth shattering.

The Demon Race from Demon Emperor Lake had already defeated enemies on three fronts in succession, with only less than a million demons tenaciously resisting on the north side adjacent to the Howling Abyss.

But with only a million demons, being completely wiped out was just a matter of time.

But no one wants to sit still and wait for death.

Let alone demons?

As the emperor of the Lake Demon Race, considering their role as "gatekeepers" for the Sky-Split Race for a thousand years, even without merits, there were efforts.

Thus, under the cover of night, he took the risk of stepping into the Howling Abyss, kneeling before a Lower Realm Demon God in the Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm to seek an audience with the Demon Ancestor.

Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted kneeling to Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm.

Such humility seen once in a millennium.

Yet even so humble, the Demon Ancestor of the Sky-Split Race only agreed to see him an hour later.

The one who met him was the Forbidden Demon Ancestor who observed the Lake Demon Race from the sky that day - an existence in the Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm.

"Star Night Demon Ancestor!" The emperor of the Lake Demon Race, upon seeing the Forbidden Demon Ancestor, bowed his head to the ground, cracking the earth in the process.

Star Night coiled beside the Black River, slowly raised his head to overlook the emperor of the Lake Demon Race, and then coldly said, "Do you remember the warning a thousand years ago?"

"Star Night Demon Ancestor, I remember!"

Entering the Howling Abyss, certain death!

Yet, what else can he do?

Not come.

Still certain death!

"Since so, speak quickly if there’s anything." Star Night spoke in a deep voice, causing waves to rise on the Black River.

The emperor of the Lake Demon Race hurriedly said, "I beseech the Star Night Demon Ancestor to save my Lake Demon Race, regardless of the cost, my Lake Demon Race is willing to pay."

"What I want, you cannot give. Things of no value, I don’t want to assist." With these words, Star Night suddenly shot up, biting the emperor of the Lake Demon Race.

Bang—

His demon body was instantly torn apart.

His head entered Star Night’s mouth.

His body slumped in a pool of blood.

The emperor of the Lake Demon Race, even though only a step away from the Demon Ancestor, had no time to react in the face of Star Night.

Crunched on the demon head and swallowed it, Star Night coiled back beside the Black River, and then spoke to a nearby Demon Ancestor, "Fu Yan, after the Lake Demons are all dead, convey my words to the demons entering Wuyou Swamp. They may take Wuyou Swamp, but they must join the Sky-Split Race."

"As you command!"

The Demon Ancestor named Fu Yan immediately nodded.

After nodding, he spoke again, "Star Night Demon Ancestor, Fu Yan has something to say."

"Say it and then go back to guard. If another foreign tribe enters the Howling Abyss, and the Demon Emperor wants to kill you, I cannot protect you." With that, Star Night slowly closed his eyes, seemingly trying to sleep.

The Demon named Fu Yan nodded, then with a trace of doubt, said, "Star Night Demon Ancestor, I discovered that the demons invading Wuyou Swamp have some peculiar power. My subordinates observed them continuously for an entire day, making an astonishing discovery."

"Speak!"

Star Night still kept his eyes closed.

"He witnessed a large number of demons rapidly increasing their power during the battle, and the speed was truly unbelievable. A single Demon King could reach the Demon God Realm in just an hour. Moreover, this is not an isolated case! In just a few days, they produced hundreds of Demon Gods!"

"Our Sky-Split Race has ten thousand Demon Gods, fine, don’t raise such a trivial matter before me in the future, go back to guard."

"And there are Lower Realm Demon Gods entering the Upper Realm in just two days!"

Star Night suddenly opened his eyes.

The Black River rippled.

(These days haven’t been good... Sigh. Delay.

Shameful.)
