System's Super Sect Chapter 1423 - 1206: The Battle of East Ridge (Middle)
Previously on System's Super Sect...
Night falls.
Outside East Ridge, the vast land of a hundred miles is filled with members of the Qi Division of the Heavenshade Tower, totaling a hundred million people. Even if each of these cultivators stomped once, the sound would echo like celestial thunder across a thousand miles, striking fear into the hearts of those who hear it.
As they rapidly approached East Ridge, gigantic machines among the crowd launched mountain-sized fireballs soaring into the sky, falling towards East Ridge. Thousands of fireballs instantly illuminated the entire East Ridge and the numerous Divine Shadow Army soldiers standing amongst its mountains.
"Construct the Vein Formation Array!"
A deep voice resounded.
Within East Ridge, countless sounds of Meridian Gates opening rang out in succession.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
The sound of the Meridian Gates was crisp and short, but when combined with the roar of millions of Divine Shadow Army soldiers, it reverberated through the mountains.
As tens of millions unified their Meridian Gates, a massive golden shield immediately appeared in the sky over East Ridge, blocking the incoming fiery barrage. But just as the first wave was halted, the second wave followed, continuing to hit the shield.
Rumble—
Rumble—
Amid the intense battle, mountains crumbled, and the world seemed to change.
For those with weaker Spirit Bodies under the Mountain Suppression Realm, even within the gigantic Vein Array, the shock caused their Qi to churn, making them dizzy and disoriented.
Some were even killed on the spot!
"Light!"
With a shout from the Divine Shadow Army, thousands of light orbs shot out, each only the size of a fist, yet growing larger as they flew toward the enemy. They finally exploded above the Heavenshade Tower members, each orb igniting the land thousands of feet below.
The cultivators below the Mountain Suppression Realm engulfed by flames were reduced to ashes within ten breaths, without even having time to scream.
In this brief confrontation, each side suffered at least a hundred thousand casualties!
Yet in the grand scale of this war, a hundred thousand seemed insignificant.
The members of the Heavenshade Tower’s Qi Division were unfazed, charging forward even through the flames, continually closing the distance with the Divine Shadow Army.
Ten miles!
Eight miles!
Six miles!
The gap kept narrowing, and at this moment, the attack Vein Array of the Qi Division started condensing, forming one giant Meridian Gate after another, standing tall in the sky. With a tremor, beams of golden, wooden, and other five-colored lights shot toward the shield protecting the Divine Shadow Army.
The number of casualties continued to climb.
Even Earth Unrestricted was not spared.
As the distance grew closer and the direct confrontation began, casualties on both sides had already exceeded millions.
At this moment, Si Haixian, stationed at the rear of the army, kept his eyes fixed on the battlefield above, at the distant and invisible darkness.
Suddenly.
A strong cultivator of the Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm appeared in view.
His emergence spread a vast aura across the entire battlefield, causing countless people to gaze up at the night sky.
Yet he did not attack the Divine Shadow Army. He merely snorted coldly towards the depths of East Ridge, saying, "Eastern Guardian King, shall we have a duel?"
As he finished speaking, a figure appeared above Si Haixian and his men.
This person, clad in red armor, stood with hands behind his back. Though he had only one eye, that eye emitted a tangible red killing intent in the night. Ordinary Heaven Unrestricted cultivators didn’t dare to meet its gaze, for that killing intent took the massacre of millions to solidify.
This was none other than the Eastern Guardian King, one of the ten Sealing Kings of the Divine Shadow Army stationed at East Ridge!
"Let this King handle it!"
With that, the Eastern Guardian King transformed into a streak of red light, charging straight toward the Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm cultivator of the Qi Division.
Crash—
As the two collided, the impact was so intense that even those at Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted couldn’t stand firm.
Meanwhile, Wen Ping, who had just emerged from the Final Forbidden Area after cultivating, received a message from Chen Xie and promptly arrived at the Knowledge Tower to watch the battle.
Simply there to enjoy the spectacle.
After all, such large-scale battles were rare to witness.
As Wen Ping settled in his seat, the eager Si Haixian immediately ordered the twenty-six people waiting beside him: "Go and draw out the Heavenly Unrestricted of the Qi Division. I want to see how many Heaven Unrestricted they have, daring to attack East Ridge."
Twenty-three cultivators of the Heaven Unrestricted Lower Realm, and three of the Middle Realm, promptly nodded, opening their Meridian Gates and purposely releasing their Qi straight to the sky.
In an instant, they launched an assault deep into the rear of the Qi Division.
Not hesitating to risk their lives!
As for why they dared to do so, it’s because they all knew the battle achievements of Si Haixian, the undisputed top cultivator of the Middle Realm in You Country.
With the Sealing King not emerging.
Who could challenge him?
Just as they prepared to unleash Celestial Level Vein Skills into the rear of the Qi Division, thirty figures suddenly rose from the rear depths of the Qi Division, launching an attack on You Country’s twenty-six Heaven Unrestricted cultivators.
Among the thirty, six were of the Middle Realm.
The disparity between the sides was clear!
"A mere three of the Middle Realm dare to attack my rear?"
"Since you’re here, don’t think about leaving!"
"Die!"
The thirty’s Meridian Gates thundered in unison, and thirty Celestial Level Vein Skills overwhelmed the twenty-six Heaven Unrestricted cultivators of You Country.
The twenty-six Heaven Unrestricted cultivators of You Country immediately counterattacked, preparing to fight and retreat since their objective had been achieved.
However, the Heaven Unrestricted of the Qi Division had no intention of letting them retreat, each unleashing their strongest killing move.
When over fifty Celestial Level Vein Skills collided in mid-air, the weaker side of You Country’s twenty-six cultivators were instantly blown back a thousand feet.
The weaker ones even suffered Spirit Body injuries reaching up to twenty percent!
