System's Super Sect Chapter 1339 - 1159: I Bring It, I Destroy It
Previously on System's Super Sect...
However, a single stone stirred up a thousand waves.
As soon as he spoke, the people around all suddenly came to a realization, understanding why the name "Sword Ghost" had felt inexplicably familiar the moment they heard it.
Because Sword Ghost had abruptly burst onto the scene, as if he’d jumped out of a rock, yet in the span of a month he’d cut down four Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm experts in succession.
So much so that the Black Domain Lord issued three successive death orders.
To warn Sword Ghost.
Either join Zhetian Tower!
Or die!
There was no third road.
By rights, with the Black Domain Lord personally issuing death orders, even if he couldn’t make Sword Ghost surrender without a fight, it should at least have forced him to stop.
But who could have thought that he’d actually set his sights on Senior Wufa Wutian next—and right under the feet of the Black Domain Lord’s Mansion in Blacktan City!
Sure enough, this Sword Ghost was a lunatic!
Just as the rumors said, there was nothing he wouldn’t dare to do.
Just as the crowd were chattering and retreating, Wufa Wutian spoke, his eyes like blades locking onto the Sword Demon’s, and said, "You’re courting death!"
As his words fell, the sword he cradled in his arms shifted to being gripped with both hands, one sword in each hand, and the fatigue he’d felt upon exiting the Purgatory Tower was instantly swept away.
The Sword Demon saw this, smiled in satisfaction, then left behind two words as he rose straight into the air, soaring a thousand zhang into the clear sky: "Seeking death!"
In the next instant, Wufa Wutian chased after him, activating his Meridian Gate mid-pursuit. The Five Veins quaked in unison, vast Qi surging with Golden Vein Qi, pressing down in all directions, and then both swords came out of their scabbards, slashing out two Crescent Sword Intents to the left and right.
The two Crescent Sword Intents, one left, one right, crossed the sky, cleaving toward the Sword Demon’s back. The Sword Demon also instantly opened his Meridian Gate, but did not counterattack, instead continuing to fly upward. Only when the distance between him and the two Crescent Sword Intents had been drawn perilously close did the Sword Demon finally turn and halt.
In the instant he stopped, he raised his hand and unleashed a Holy Light Blade Intent, taking the shape of a half-moon, surging out as if from the blazing sun to collide with the Crescent Sword Intents.
Boom—
The Crescent Sword Intents shattered in an instant.
One slash, Sword Intent broken!
After shattering the Crescent Sword Intents, the Holy Light Blade Intent still kept advancing, cleaving straight toward Wufa Wutian, who was ascending from below in pursuit. Wufa Wubian didn’t dodge either, his Meridian Gate quaking once more as he slashed out two even more terrifying Sword Intents to meet the Holy Light Blade Intent, perishing together with it in a Jade and Stone Burn Together clash.
With this round of probing, the difference between them was laid bare!
Wufa Wutian had already begun using Vein Techniques.
"Who exactly are you?" After catching up to the Sword Demon, Wufa Wutian no longer rushed to attack, instead asking about the Sword Demon’s origins.
Because in his view, someone who could cultivate Sword Intent to a level comparable to Celestial Level Vein Skill absolutely couldn’t have been some obscure nobody up until now.
But the Sword Demon didn’t answer anything.
He was muttering to himself.
Of course, in Wufa Wutian’s eyes the Sword Demon was talking to himself, but for the Sword Demon, this was the chant for the Tier Five Magic "Twin Birth of Good and Evil."
Once proficiency grew high enough, the chant could be finished in an instant.
The next moment, Holy Light broke through the clouds, falling around the Sword Demon and completely submerging him. Just as Wufa Wutian’s eyes widened in shock, the Sword Demon, already transformed into an Angel, slowly walked out. Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand and unleashed hundreds, thousands of slashes toward Wufa Wutian.
The sky-filling Holy Light Blade Intent burst with dazzling radiance, like the descent of the sun itself, so glaring that Wufa Wutian’s heart trembled.
At the same time, he gained a clear sense of the Sword Demon’s Power.
Not inferior to his!
No wonder four Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm experts had fallen to him within a single month. With this level of Power, he indeed deserved such battle records.
Bam—
The Five Veins roared together!
Wufa Wutian was ready to get serious.
...
Meanwhile, outside the Purgatory Tower, everyone was looking up at the sky, marveling at the battle erupting between the two and the terrifying aura they were exuding, as if the heavens were collapsing.
Only Weisheng Xingyu walked quietly into the Purgatory Tower alone.
He was going to destroy the Purgatory Tower!
The Purgatory Tower was something he had brought here, so he would personally tear it down.
Just as he was preparing to dismantle the Zhetian Tower he’d built with his own hands.
Once Weisheng Xingyu entered the Purgatory Tower, he stepped into an independent Secret Realm, but he did not go challenge the Trial Land within the Secret Realm. Instead, he walked in the exact opposite direction, and in the Secret Realm’s dense forest he found a gigantic steel gate.
This was the internal passage of the Purgatory Tower, the backdoor left by the Tower’s creator, and also the Space that the creator reserved for the user to observe the tower challengers.
From here, one could go straight up to the 88th floor. On the 88th floor there was a thing called the Eye of Purgatory. Through the Eye of Purgatory one could see the situation on every floor, and every person challenging the tower.
Likewise.
Through the Eye of Purgatory one could destroy the entire Purgatory Tower.
"The last time I came here was to choose good talents and strengthen Zhetian Tower. This time, I’m here for destruction." Walking along the floating stone steps in the gloom, Weisheng Xingyu couldn’t help but sigh.
And also.
The last time he came here, the one walking with him had been the former Black Domain Lord, the man he’d prepared to entrust with heavy responsibility, his confidant.
But now things were different, people were gone. He was no longer the Master of Zhetian Tower, and none of his former subordinates followed him anymore.
As for the former Black Domain Lord, most likely that Endless Celestial Suspension had killed him after throwing him into the Qu Realm.
After all, when you cut the weeds, you must pull out the roots!
Because that was what he himself had taught.
Very soon, he reached the 88th floor.
Originally Weisheng Xingyu had stayed alert, wondering if someone might be inside, but along the way he’d discovered no trace of any living person.
"Looks like no one knows about the Eye of Purgatory." Weisheng Xingyu murmured, then stepped into the 88th floor.
What met his eyes was an eye in the darkness.
It had a pupil like a black hole.
Around the pupil, everything was resplendent with five-colored light.
This was the Eye of Purgatory.
...
Beneath the clear sky.
The Sword Demon fought more and more fiercely, Angel’s Wings beating as he and Wufa Wutian flashed through the Sea of Clouds, blade and sword colliding, shattering one expanse of clouds after another.
By now, half of the quarter-hour time limit Weisheng Xingyu had mentioned had already passed.
To race against time, the Sword Demon did not hesitate to trade injuries for rage, because the Rage needed to cast the Tier Five Magic "Twin Birth of Good and Evil" could also be accumulated through taking damage.
If he weren’t pressed for time, the Sword Demon would absolutely not choose to do this.
Isn’t this just self-harm?
At this moment, Wufa Wutian spoke. "Your heart is in chaos, and your flaws are everywhere. Stop. At this rate you’ll never be able to defeat me."
"You can even see that, huh."
The Sword Demon gave a low word of admiration, and swung his blade down again.
Wufa Wutian met the slash with both swords, taking it head-on, then said in a deep voice, "I appreciate you greatly, so I don’t want to kill you. If you’re willing to follow me, then when I sit in the Zhetian Tower Master’s seat in the future, you will be the Battle Division’s Lord, second only to me."
"Well, well, a bastard son sure has big dreams."
As soon as the Sword Demon said this, Wufa Wutian was shocked, his Sword Techniques thrown into disarray, forced back step by step as the Sword Demon’s blade hammered down dozens of times in a row.
"How do you know that! Who the hell are you?"
Impossible!
There were hardly any people under heaven who knew he was a bastard son.
"Your mother told me... Now, guess who I am." The Sword Demon smiled, and the Magic Wand once more silently appeared in his hand.
Rage had reached 100.
He could shift to Evil state!
Transform into the Demon King!
