System's Super Sect Chapter 1530: Enemies Meet, Eyes Turn Bloodshot
Previously on System's Super Sect...
“Let’s go. Why are you standing there dazed?”
Wen Ping’an walked towards the teleportation array.
Wei Sheng Xingyu put away his contemplation and followed along leisurely, though the heaviness on his face remained steadfast like the sun hanging high.
Wen Ping’an naturally noticed the change in Wei Sheng Xingyu, but he was too lazy to ask further questions. He knew what Wei Sheng Xingyu was worried about, but he believed the heaviness on his face would soon disappear.
Moments later, the two landed on the edge of a cliff in an unnamed mountain in the Beize Domain. To its direct east was a massive city that stretched beyond sight. Yet, this huge city was at that moment shrouded in smoke, completely engulfed by war.
Wen Ping’an looked ahead and said, “This place is located in the center of the Beize Domain, but now it’s the frontline of the battle between the Zhetian Tower and Geng Country. You can try out your Book of Curses here.”
“Sect Leader, let me try.” Wei Sheng Xingyu took two steps forward, and his spiritual power immediately spread over the battlefield ahead.
As Wei Sheng Xingyu chose a target for the Book of Curses, Wen Ping’an’s spiritual power covered the boundless battlefield in front.
Things were different now; since establishing the world’s territory, his perspective had unknowingly shifted. Now, when he looked at the people of Geng Country, it was like looking at the Heaven and Earth Alliance and Lake Demon Race. He considered all of them part of the Immortal Sect.
Of course.
There were still distinctions.
The Lake Demon Race was a dependent, so he would never stand by idly when intervention or nurturing was needed.
But for the people of the Heaven and Earth Alliance and Geng Country, he had a mindset of letting them develop on their own. As long as they’re not facing an existential crisis, he wouldn’t intervene—whether it’s a change of power, the birth of geniuses, or the fall of the strong.
He had already altered the cultivation environment of Geng Country and would certainly provide appropriate nurturing. But what the future holds for the people of Geng Country is entirely up to themselves.
In other words, whether he’s looking at the Heaven and Earth Alliance or Geng Country, he’s standing from a god’s perspective, which relates to the future positioning of the Immortal Sect.
Four words: Removed from the world.
“Sect Leader, I’ve found it.” Suddenly, Wei Sheng Xingyu’s voice came, carrying a trace of icy killing intent.
Following Wei Sheng Xingyu’s spiritual power, Wen Ping’an focused his gaze on the black-clad elder standing atop the head of a six-winged giant snake above the city. He was not participating in the battle and apparently had no intention to, quietly overlooking the battlefield below while occasionally glancing into the distance, as if waiting for something.
“Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm.” Wen Ping’an’s spiritual power swept over him, revealing a hint of expectation. If Wei Sheng Xingyu, at Great Success, could curse-kill a Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm expert, then middle realm should not be his limit, and he could certainly touch upon the upper realm.
The invisible assassin he had been yearning for, wasn’t it just taking shape? With more time accumulated, perhaps Half-Step Primordial Vast could be within reach.
With anticipation, Wen Ping’an glanced at Wei Sheng Xingyu again, noticing that the killing intent in his eyes was somewhat unusual.
Too intense.
Not like facing an enemy.
Nor like wanting to perform fiercely in front of himself.
More like… revenge!
“Acquainted?” Wen Ping’an asked.
Wei Sheng Xingyu nodded, “Zeng Qi played a part in forcing my daughter to her death, and he’s a confidant of Endless Celestial Suspension. I always thought him useless, only regretting not having directly killed him back then, just giving minor punishment!”
“That’s not your fault.” Wen Ping’an comforted him, then added, “Then do it, make him the starting point of your revenge.”
“Yes, Sect Leader!”
After nodding, Wei Sheng Xingyu proceeded as usual when casting Life Technique, but the placement of the Life Plate was different.
The Life Plate was overturned, the Life Technique converted to Curse Technique!
The overturned Life Plate slowly opened its dark purple petals like a blooming flower, and a unique oppressive power exploded from Wei Sheng Xingyu’s spirit body.
Upon sensing this power, Wen Ping’an smiled faintly. Though it was not as vast and grand as the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent, it had a special darkness to it. It was like being in the dark, but an invisible sword was always pressing against your waist.
When you turned around, there was nothing but darkness behind you, no trace of that sword, yet you could feel a faint pain at your waist.
In the next moment.
Wei Sheng Xingyu uttered a sinister spell that activated the Book of Curses, and then… nothing happened. But under the surveillance of Wen Ping’an’s spiritual power, he felt the curse power suddenly surging from the Book of Curses, heading towards the Zhetian Tower cultivator in the sky.
“What’s happening, why do I feel anxious?” The elder standing atop the six-winged giant snake in the sky was originally overseeing the field below, but suddenly his brows and eyes twitched simultaneously.
Then he began to look around nervously, seeing that the strongest around was no more than Heaven Unrestricted Lower Realm. His eyes brimmed with confusion and puzzlement, checking the surroundings for a hundred breaths before returning to his original posture.
“Must be overthinking it; after the Capital City battle, You Country’s royal family has less than one in ten upper realm experts remaining, Half-Step Primordial Vast is completely wiped out, otherwise Tian Wuxin wouldn’t have turned to join our Zhetian Tower. Now, only a few pose a threat to me, and they are too busy to manage.”
After muttering this, the elder thought no more of it.
As for not considering the Immortal Sect, when the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up, and he’s just stirring things in the Beize Domain, never really delving into You Country; plus, Tian Wuxin’s already on their side. He believes as long as the Immortal Sect isn’t foolish, they won’t bother causing trouble.
If the Immortal Sect had the ability to deal with two top-tier Half-Step Primordial Vast, they wouldn’t be in their current situation and state.
Yet, having lived for hundreds of years, he remained cautious and vigilant, deciding no longer to overlook from above.
“If you resist any further, don’t say this seat didn’t give you a chance! Last warning, kneel down in submission now, and I’ll spare your life.”
The elder’s resounding voice echoed above the city, drawing icy, smug smiles on the faces of many Zhetian Tower members.
It made the faces of several Celestial Unrestricted Divine Shadow Army Divine Generals defending the city more grave, because they didn’t know when the reinforcements would arrive.
Perhaps there won’t be any reinforcements at all.
Once Zeng Qi takes action, they are doomed to die.
Their death would mean that this city and everyone inside it would have no chance for survival.
But to surrender?
Heh.
If they were going to surrender, they would have done so long ago.
If they were cowards, they would have retreated already.
Zeng Qi in the sky saw no response, a trace of cold malice flashed across his face, then he angrily roared as the Five Veins trembled, preparing to ride the Six-winged Giant Snake to attack. But just then, a sudden fierce pain erupted from within his heart.
The pain dimmed the glow of the Meridian Gate momentarily, and Zeng Qi staggered, nearly losing his footing and falling.
A Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm powerhouse can’t keep his footing?
What a joke!
So when people below witnessed this scene, they didn’t think much of it.
“What the hell is going on?” Zeng Qi cried out in panic, feeling terrified and uneasy about the sudden heart-piercing pain.
This sense of unease was identical to before.
Before he could regain his balance, the piercing pain again started, this time within his meridians and the Meridian Gate.
Pain!
Agony!
Piercingly intense.
Not only that, as he raised his hand, he discovered that his skin suddenly showed dark purple fine lines one after another. These fine lines spread like centipedes, very quickly, and with every new line, his body grew weaker.
“What the hell is going on?” The bewildered Zeng Qi dared not think further, hurriedly sitting down to run his Spirit Body.
Attempting to resist with his Spirit Body.
However, the Spirit Body couldn’t stop the spread of the dark purple lines; in just a quarter of an hour, Zeng Qi’s skin began to bleed externally, and the light of the Meridian Gate flickered like a dying candle.
Ah—
The heart-wrenching scream echoed in the sky, drawing attention from countless people, including those from Geng Country and all Divine Generals in the Divine Shadow Army.
What’s going on?
Why did Zeng Qi suddenly scream in pain?
The people from the Covering Sky Building also didn’t understand, but hearing Zeng Qi’s words, even if unclear, they knew something bad must have happened.
“Quick, leave!”
This was what Zeng Qi said to the Six-winged Giant Snake beneath him.
After receiving the order, the Six-winged Giant Snake flapped its wings and prepared to flee, being closest to Zeng Qi, it naturally felt the Curse Power and Zeng Qi’s pain.
It didn’t know what Curse Power was, nor what was attacking Zeng Qi, but it understood Zeng Qi’s pain clearly!
Seeing the Six-winged Giant Snake disappear in the sky in an instant, Wen Ping did not move to intercept, nor did Micro Star Rain react.
Because once Curse Power descends, unless the caster actively stops it, the other party has no possibility of escaping.
As for how far they need to escape to avoid the Curse Power?
Wen Ping looked at the annotation given by the system: as long as they remain in the same world as the caster, they can’t escape. If Micro Star Rain’s Book of Curses goes further, even escaping the Heaven-Gazing Gorge would be futile; the Curse Power would still follow.
“Sect Leader, although my Curse Power has wounded him, the injury is not very serious. If we want to kill him, it would take at least another day. Unless he possesses treasures that can block the Curse Power, or someone sacrifices their lifespan to save him forcibly, he’s undoubtedly doomed.”
After taking out the Flying Ship from the System Space, Wen Ping jumped aboard, “Follow and observe, logically there shouldn’t be anything in Heaven-Gazing Gorge that can block the Curse Power, since it’s never appeared in Heaven-Gazing Gorge before.”
Once those words fell and Micro Star Rain jumped on the Flying Ship, it activated concealment mode and followed Zeng Qi on his escape.
Wen Ping just watched from behind, watched Zeng Qi suffer and go mad because of the Curse Power, ultimately falling into a state of frenzy.
Yet Zeng Qi remained somewhat clear-headed, escaping back to the domain of the Covering Sky Building, putting his last hope on a Upper Realm powerhouse.
However, even with the help of a Heaven Unrestricted Upper Realm powerhouse, he still couldn’t prevent Zeng Qi from self-destructing due to the Curse Power.
Seeing this scene, Wen Ping nodded with satisfaction, in contrast Micro Star Rain, although weakened by this curse-kill, would be unable to use the Book of Curses for several days, yet his Spiritual Power had increased, and not just slightly, and the Curse Power of the Book of Curses had visibly become more powerful.
If Micro Star Rain continues this way, it becomes a book of death, as long as Micro Star Rain is not killed, it can keep stacking buffs!
